The remaining one...
From the All-Russian Central Committee of the Union of Wizards.
Very long name.
It was also an extremely formal and solemn letter.
It is for Mr. Dumbledore, "President of the International Confederation of Wizards" and "Headmaster of Hogwarts".
The letter clearly discussed some of the portals they had collected, as well as the relevant information about the God-given land behind them. It also invited them to Russia, and hoped that Hogwarts would accept a visit from the Russian magic school Kodosdoriz.
There is a bit of straightforwardness and a strength that they may not even be aware of.
Perhaps noticing Alison's increasingly strange expression, Grindelwald frowned in discomfort and sighed.
"In the Soviet Union - no, now it's Russia - the wizarding world in Russia has completely retained and continued the departmental structure of the former Soviet wizarding world. The magic school is still decided by the current Central Committee of the All-Russian Wizards' Union."
"The European wizarding world doesn't have much contact with that place. I heard that when the Soviet Union was first established, the wizards there basically turned to the local Muggle government - they still have some means - this kind of rule has continued to this day. In a sense, this is the intention of the Russian Muggle government, and the two can be regarded as equivalent."
"As for China... I know more about the Japanese magic house in the Far East, and I have only heard about China: the wizards there - or, according to their local saying, they seem to be heavenly masters? Or Taoists? Or witches? Feng shui masters? - thousands of years ago, when Muggle history was recorded, they coexisted with the local Muggles and were highly connected."
"I heard that there was a history of wizards summoning meteorites, summoning strong winds, and helping Muggle kings to ascend to the throne - a bit like the British legends of Merlin and King Arthur - the Muggle world has always known that there are such people, and many of them have a certain social status in the Muggle world. It's basically the same in Asia. In Southeast Asia, there are sorcerers, and in Japan, there are Yin-Yang masters and witches..."
When Grindelwald mentioned this, and considering the invitation letter from the Far East, Dumbledore added a few words.
"Wizards, Taoist priests in China, Yin-Yang masters, and witches can mostly communicate and interact normally. But the sorcerers in Southeast Asia..."
Recalling some records within the International Confederation of Wizards, the old headmaster frowned and warned the young wizard who had never heard of these foreign wonders.
"Try not to get too close. There aren't any magic schools that last too long there. It's basically a master-apprentice relationship, or something passed down between families. So even though Southeast Asia is densely populated, there aren't that many sorcerers, and they're relatively scattered."
"They are somewhat 'out of touch' with the international wizarding world. The international wizarding world has also visited there to learn more about and investigate, but found that their magic system tends to be more inclined towards dark magic. There are also factions that attack and nurture souls, and some even collect corpse oil and the souls of premature babies to make money and kill people."
"In the end, those sorcerers basically had no positive emotions. This is also the reason why magic schools in Southeast Asia can't continue to operate. No sorcerer is willing to waste his time and patiently teach a group of talented children..."
Dumbledore would not reject a person simply because he was a dark wizard.
Although he is now a headmaster, a top wizard who focuses on Transfiguration and white magic, and does not support others learning the dark magic that affects the mind, could anyone who could hang out with Grindelwald when he was young be a good person?
He was very good at dark magic when he was young. In the eyes of the old headmaster, the tricks used by many dark wizards nowadays are just leftovers from the past.
As for things like black magic and character... well, there are times when they can be roughly equated.
Even Grindelwald can be described as "a handsome scum who seduced his country lover" and "the chief war criminal."
But the old devil is a man of the moment. At least he makes a big scene, and he is a bastard in an open and aboveboard manner. Most of the time, he is really doing it for racial interests, but his methods are very extreme.
As for Alison, the villain of the whole book, she can’t be called a good person either, but the problem is that she is smart enough and can easily manipulate the situation willingly, and she pursues maximization of interests in major events, seizing the opportunity to profit from multiple parties like a venomous snake.
Stupid and bad should be viewed separately.
Being bad doesn’t necessarily make people dislike you; people may even like you because you love good looks.
But most people don't like idiots.
It's like slicing the soul, splitting the IQ, and ruining a good face. In the later stage, he hunted down his junior who hadn't graduated for seven years without logging off...
When we occasionally catch a glimpse of a handsome face appearing in our memories, the audience is usually quite tolerant and may even scream wildly because of the occasional screenshot.
But when Lu Dan was grinning like an idiot, except for the ghost animal section, there was probably no place that liked him.
As for Snape...his mouth could be thrown into a trash can, but he was smart enough, and he had been almost manipulated by the old headmaster, so he had long been a loyal subordinate.
However, because of black magic, they maliciously kill infants, harm pregnant women, and even torture and kill innocent lives for the power of negative emotions (the "resentment" in Eastern legends)...
This kind of behavior is completely beyond the bottom line of normal humans. At least the European wizarding world is generally unable to accept the traditional cultures of the Far East.
Alison was enlightened by a bunch of scary and obscure knowledge given by her father. She continued to read the letter in a daze, but was startled by the letter from the All-Russian Central Committee of the Wizards' Union in her hand and quickly put it back.
Her half-German ancestry told her that it was best not to deal with the Soviet Union.
If you must deal with it, just strike back and run away.
The letter was so serious that it felt like the Soviet national anthem "Unbreakable Union" was ringing in my ears.
Is it really possible for Germans to go to a place like Moscow?
Grindelwald did not seem too bothered by the old grudges of Soviet wizards and Muggles who had fought back against the forces he had gathered.
Willing to gamble and admit defeat.
He leaned in behind Alison, his arm around her shoulders, his tone slightly amused and hinted at with pride.
"Now all over the world - at least the vast majority of countries that have channels to learn about the recent changes in the wizarding world in Europe and Africa - there are forces that want to have in-depth contact with us and strive for exchanges and cooperation."
Dumbledore put on his half-moon glasses again, looked at the invitation stack, and said in a gentle tone: "This is a good thing. It means that the plan is progressing smoothly. Soon wizards and Muggles will be able to learn from each other, live and develop together."
The little red-haired wizard raised his eyes and looked at Dumbledore.
"…I have agreed with the Muggle government to bring them to the wizarding world in three days to explain the situation. Dad, do you want to go? Or should I handle it alone?"
She did not ask Grindelwald.
Her stinky daddy still retains some old-fashioned racist ideas that discriminate against Muggles.
And when we have to introduce him, should we just directly introduce that this person's great achievements are that he started the Second World War in the Muggle world?
A Class A war criminal who escaped the net.
She couldn't imagine how beautiful this scene would be, and how big the psychological shadow on the other side was - especially since many of the old men and women on the other side were over 50 years old and had personally experienced World War II.
At least let people see the clear benefits that they cannot give up, and then tie up the other party!
It's just like marriage fraud.
Dumbledore pondered for a moment, then slowly said: "Let's go together."
He was the president of the International Confederation of Wizards, after all, so he was considered a figurehead. Although in peacetime, such a position was a mere sinecure for the wizarding world, which was as peaceful as stagnant water. Specific minor matters were handled by the Ministries of Magic of various countries, and major matters... were not major.
Grindelwald had a look of disgust on his face. He snorted and sat back on the sofa unhappily.
He obviously knew that the reason why the father and daughter didn't plan to take him was because they were worried about the trouble he had caused in the past.
……
In recent years, Allison has never stopped researching the game world and her own soul power.
She was already at the demigod level, and her power gradually shifted from emphasizing "quantity" to emphasizing "quality".
The power gained from upgrading in the game world, the training gained from frequent use of magic, and the emotional energy absorbed by ancient magic are all manifestations of "quantity".
Even though it was higher than the natural magic power of the wizarding world before, it was still an increase in "quantity". Compared with the increase from level 1 to level 2 and from level 98 to level 99, the difficulty increased, but the "quantity" of the increase was always the same.
This is the most basic thing provided to players in the game world, which is the rule of gaining experience by killing monsters.
As the total amount of magic power increases, more large-scale magic can be used, but once it reaches a bottleneck period of damage, the importance of the total amount of magic power decreases - is there any difference between being able to use ten large-scale magic spells and being able to use one hundred or one thousand? One is enough to destroy a city, and the magic power can be restored.
At this stage, one must begin to pay attention to "quality", to comprehend the essence of magic, even power, and rules, to transcend simple fixed skills and go straight to the source.
Allison is currently at this stage. Ordinary game skills always have an upper limit, and it is impossible to cause the "Undead Plague".
Influenced by the necromancer, Alison embarked on the path of death and soul. Even the ancient magic that seemed to be related to emotional power was analyzed by her to be related to the soul.
She also once wanted to continue to interfere with the rules of mind, memory, and life, so as to trap and control her fathers in the future and make sure that her blood relatives could not leave her.
However, since discovering that the power of rules can shake the entire world and successfully dragged the game world she had experienced, Alison wisely gave up the idea of delving into other rules and chose to continue to delve deeper into death and soul.
Anyway, the problem has been solved. According to her fathers' talents and speed of progress, they will definitely be able to understand the rules and will not be troubled by their lifespan.
The power of rules is not only to drag the world of the past, it can also influence and transform the world to a certain extent, including - portals.
She had dismantled the system that allowed Allison to constantly travel through various game worlds, and after analyzing it, she found that it was a pure product of the power of rules, so things could be transferred across worlds.
Alison, who controls the rules, can do it too.
She can also move and modify the portal, expand the portal area, cancel the portal, and even remove the initial character selection interface, so that the portal can be used as a space gate alone...
……
Three days flew by.
Alison Apparated with Dumbledore and appeared out of thin air in Buckingham Palace again.
As an acquaintance, and not the first time he had seen a wizard, the Prime Minister smiled politely and extended his hand to welcome her, without showing too many obvious emotions on his face: "Ms. Grindelwald, welcome."
Then, he looked at the old wizard who followed him, showing a bit of normal curiosity, and nodded in greeting: "...Who is this?"
Although Alison was not used to it, she shook hands seriously and introduced him as a middleman: "Albus Dumbledore, my father, the headmaster of Hogwarts, the only magic school in the British wizarding world, and the president of the International Confederation of Wizards. Dad, this is Mr. Major, the Prime Minister of the British government."
