Chapter 1178 Are you a monster?
The dark wizard outside Windsor Castle was eventually imprisoned in Azkaban for attacking the Muggle Queen. Kingsley did a very good job of cleaning up the mess and did not reveal any information about Vincent.
As expected, Lucius, covered in dust, was ridiculed upon returning to Malfoy Manor. He argued that he was powerless to resist because he had no wand. If he had had one, he would have killed the dirty little Mudblood long ago.
Voldemort humiliated him severely and threw him out of the room like a rag.
"Trash is trash, I shouldn't have any expectations."
In any case, Lucius' life was saved.
While the Daily Prophet was updating the news about the attack on the Muggle Queen, Vincent quietly appeared at No. 10 Downing Street.
The current Prime Minister is the leader of the Conservative Party. He is very capable and has successfully maintained the sustained development of the British economy, lowered interest rates, reduced inflation rates and unemployment rates during the years he has been in power.
He had also heard of the most wanted criminal in the wizarding world.
For the Queen's sake, he received Vincent warmly.
After some simple pleasantries, they had lunch together.
The Prime Minister's wife is dignified and generous, and her cooking skills are much better than most British housewives who can only open jars.
Vincent praised her cooking skills from the bottom of his heart, which greatly changed the Prime Minister's impression of him.
He's polite and good at talking, how can he be a scary dark wizard?
After lunch, when the small talk was over, the Prime Minister's wife very considerately returned to her room and gave the living room to the two of them.
The Prime Minister has only two years left in his term. He has served as Foreign Secretary and Chancellor of the Exchequer and is well aware of the difficulty of uniting the world's countries.
But controlled nuclear fusion is a project that will benefit all mankind. As the leader of the Conservative Party, he believes that no matter how difficult it is, the project should be promoted with all efforts.
The subsequent communication went very smoothly. Once the parliament officially approves it, Vincent will serve as a special consultant for the project, in charge of all matters related to magic.
The government will actively lobby countries around the world. The European region is still easy to deal with, after all, there is the precedent of the European Joint Torus, a tokamak device located at the Culham Science Center in Oxfordshire, UK.
After the deal was settled, Vincent left behind a one-way magic communicator and returned to the Ryan Hotel.
Hunter, who was lying on the sofa watching TV, straightened up and asked, "How is it? Is everything going well?"
"of course."
Vincent took off his cloak, sat down and patiently satisfied his curiosity.
When Hunter heard that the Queen invited Vincent to be the royal court wizard, his face was distorted and his eyes were glowing green.
"I refused."
Hunter was visibly relieved, but soon his face turned puzzled. "Why? If you became the royal court wizard, your Ministry of Magic wouldn't be able to do anything to you, right?"
Vincent shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Uncle Hunter, things are not as simple as you think. I know this is the Queen's good intention, but it will seriously hinder my plan."
His original idea was to gradually transfer magic from the Muggle military to the medical and other livelihood areas. Now that there is controlled nuclear fusion, a project that Muggle governments of various countries cannot refuse, he cannot have any political identity.
"Being wanted by the wizarding world is nothing. It would be more trouble than it would take if the Muggle government became hostile to magic because of me."
Although Hunter is a soldier, he knows how sensitive politics is when he reaches the rank of colonel.
The fundamental ideological opposition and the conflict of national strategic interests could have triggered a 44-year-long Cold War. If both sides had not exercised restraint at the critical moment, the entire world would probably have been destroyed by nuclear bombs.
"Hmm..." Hunter suddenly glared at Vincent, "Are you a monster? How come you have such a deep political consciousness at such a young age?"
Vincent laughed dryly. "Although I hate politics, it doesn't mean I don't understand it. Besides, don't you see who my teacher is?"
An old monster who has lived for more than 6 years, an old revolutionary who almost overthrew the world order.
Hunter shuddered inexplicably. "So what's next? You rejected the Queen in person. She's not angry, is she?"
Vincent shook his head. "No, we later talked about Professor Dumbledore, and then the dark wizard came to visit."
"Dark wizard!?" Hunter suddenly became nervous.
"They came for me. I've already dealt with them all."
"Them? More than one?"
"Don't worry, they have no chance of finding this hotel."
The meeting with the Prime Minister went smoothly. After a brief conversation, Vincent returned to his room.
Hunter, who was staying outside, suddenly remembered something very important.
The old men in the parliament are notoriously slow. Even if they are fast, you'll have to wait for ten days or half a month.
Just when he was about to stand up and ask, Vincent, who had changed his clothes, happened to walk out of the room.
"Where are you going?"
"Go back."
The heavy stone in Hunter's heart finally fell.
If Vincent stayed in the hotel, he would have to live in fear all day long.
If they can be found by dark wizards, there will be no news at all even if the Ministry of Magic tries harder.
"By the way." Vincent suddenly turned around at the window and said, "Uncle Hunter, I'll be back next week. You have to speed up the establishment of MAST-MA."
What is coming will come sooner or later, and there is no way to avoid it.
Hunter was also very aware. "Okay, I've already screened the list of members. I'll go and notify them the day after tomorrow when my vacation is over."
"Okay." Vincent jumped and landed on the invisible Voice of the Night.

A few days later, on August 8, the International Confederation of Wizards held a conference in Venice, Italy.
There are three core themes of this conference:
First, the revision of the Joint Memorandum of Understanding on Cross-Border Management of Magical Beasts and Regulation of Trade in Dark Magical Objects.
The second is to discuss the recent large-scale and serious leakage of magical information in Berlin, Germany.
The third is the election of the new president of the International Confederation of Wizards.
This conference was not open to the public, as in previous years, but in addition to reporters, many anchors came to Venice in advance.
At 8 a.m., representatives from various magical governments boarded special black gondolas to the underwater meeting place.
The area downstream of the Rialto Bridge is often covered in a thin mist. Any Muggle who strays into it will lose their way and return the same way, forgetting they have ever been there.
After passing through the fog, the Italian Ministry of Magic employee who served as the gondola driver steered the gondola towards a whirlpool that silently opened up on the water. Before it sank into the water, a huge bubble enveloped the gondola and its passengers.
Beneath the clear river water lies an inverted Gothic church, and in the surrounding waters stand countless magical gargoyles holding rusty tridents.
This sunken church is the venue for this meeting, and the gargoyles are guards that can be instantly animated.
