Chapter 94 The Magical Congress of America (Fifth Watch)

Magical Congress of America, Woolworth Building.

Li Chuan, who had just walked out of the door key office, looked at the 100-story magic building and thought to himself:

"It looks even grander than the British Ministry of Magic."

Before coming here, he had checked relevant information about the Magic Congress of America.

Unlike the British Ministry of Magic, which is built underground and belongs to a separate building, the Magical Congress of the United States shares a building with ordinary people.

The entrance of the Woolworth Building is a revolving door. Normal people enter the Woolworth Building through the revolving door, and when wizards pass through the revolving door, they enter the Magic Congress of America.

"Where are you going?"

Walking into the magic elevator, an old goblin wearing a felt hat and a suit asked Li Chuan.

Goblins and house elves look very similar, but their status in the wizarding world is not at the same level as house elves.

The status of house elves is that of slaves, and the status of goblins is actually not much worse than wizards. They are good at metal processing, especially silverware. The currency of the wizarding world is made by them.

They even run the Gringotts Wizarding Bank, which largely controls the wizarding economy.

"Lobby Registration!"

Li Chuan replied politely.

The old goblin nodded, raised the crutch in his hand, and pressed the button with 1 written on it.

A few seconds later, the magic elevator reopened, and Li Chuan had arrived at the registration hall on the first floor.

The architectural style of the Magic Congress of America is very similar to that of a church. There is a huge portrait of a witch hanging at the door. It is the current president of the Magic Congress of America, Serafina Picquery.

The aisle is more spacious and clean than that of the British Ministry of Magic. There are brooms and mops that have been cast with a spiritual spell to clean it from time to time, and there are golden metal giant eagles flying.

The wizards seemed to be relatively relaxed, and many of them were sitting on the benches, reading newspapers and chatting.

It may be because the United States is not peaceful recently, and there are not many foreign wizards registered at the registration office. In the past, Li Chuan registered all the information without queuing.

"You are a wizard from the UK. You may not be clear. Wizards in the United States need a wand license to hold a wand. You go to the wand license office and get a wand license before you can leave."

After registering Li Chuan's information, the witch in charge of the registration reminded him.

Li Chuan was not surprised when he heard this, he just nodded and walked towards the magic elevator again.

Applying for a wand license is a unique requirement of the American wizarding community, and every wizard needs to apply.

Because the Auror here can trace the wand of the wizard who caused the accident through the fluctuation of magic power on the wand license, so as to determine his identity.

On the twenty-fifth floor underground, Li Chuan followed the signposts and walked into a room that was obviously enlarged dozens of times by the No Trace Stretch Curse.

Tables are neatly arranged here, and each table is connected to a metal transparent pipe leading to the upper floor.

From time to time, a document folded into a mouse would escape from the pipe and be torn to shreds on the table.

Apparently this is where congressional clerks shred and dispose of useless papers.

However, Li Chuan became slightly interested in the magic that turned files into mice for self-processing.

When he was at the British Ministry of Magic yesterday, he also saw the witch in the foyer using magic to turn paper into a paper airplane to automatically find Theseus Scamander.

At that time, he was thinking that it would be a good idea to replace ordinary paper with detonating symbols, and then let them turn into paper airplanes and fly towards the enemy before detonating.

"It seems that the next time I go to Naruto World, I will not only have to find a way to learn ninjutsu like Orochimaru, which can swallow items into the stomach for preservation, but also learn how to make detonating symbols."

Walking along those tables to the end, a sign hung with the wand license office suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.

And under the sign, a short-haired witch in a windbreaker was sitting at her desk in a daze, wondering what she was thinking about.

"Hello, I'm Tom Foley from London, looking for a wand permit."

"Uh oh, I'm Tina Goldstein, welcome to New York, give me your wand and proof of registration."

The witch named Tina woke up suddenly, weakly took out a special magic card from the side, and said to Li Chuan in a very formulaic way.

Tina Goldstein, future wife of Newt Scamander. Originally the best Auror of the Magical Congress of America, he violated the Wizarding Secrecy Act by helping an abused Muggle perform magic in front of many Muggles.

Now she is demoted to the Wand License Office as a clerk by Serafina Piqueri, the chairman of the Magical Congress of America.

Hearing the other party's name, Li Chuan immediately knew the other party's identity.

However, he didn't try to strike up a conversation, he just handed Tom's wand and the registration certificate he just got in the lobby to the other party.

After Tina made his wand license, he turned around and left like a normal wizard who came to handle it.

He doesn't want to cause huge changes in the subsequent plot because of some of his intervention, at least he can't let the encounter between Newt and Tina not appear because of him.

That wouldn't do him any good in his next plans.

The reason why he came to New York was to use the original plot to fight for his identity on the surface and make a name for himself in the wizarding world. The second is to secretly reach a cooperation with Grindelwald to seek benefits.

Therefore, if he can not destroy the development of the plot in the early stage, he will still try his best to ensure that everything is within his control.

After leaving the Magic Congress of America, Li Chuan came to New York's Magic Street directly according to the information he had searched before, and temporarily found a bar to live in.

The Magic Street in the United States is located in Times Square, New York. The entrance is a stone tablet. When you touch the stone tablet and input magic power, you will enter the Magic Street.

It took a day to browse the entire Magic Street. Apart from finding some magic books that were not found in the Lihen Bookstore before, and tasting the local magic delicacies, I didn't find any extra gains.

However, this is also normal. It has been less than two hundred years since the founding of the United States. How long can the history of wizards in the United States be? Most of them are British wizards who immigrated here.

Even the American magic school, the founder of Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Aesop Searle.

It is also because I often heard a lot of stories about Hogwarts from my aunt, Gormley Gaunt, that I founded Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry out of vision.

Even the four colleges in the school were set up in imitation of the four colleges in Hogwarts.

So despite the fact that the American Ministry of Magic is much more prestigious than the British Ministry of Magic, and the Magic Street is much larger than Diagon Alley, in fact, American wizards are still inferior to British wizards in terms of background.

In the movie, if it weren't for the help of Newt Scamander, Grindelwald could kill all the Aurors in the entire Magical Congress of America by himself.
