Daily News: The Prophet of Hogwarts

Chapter 339 Agreement

"With the rapid advancement of technology, we have reached the point of manned spaceflight and lunar landings, which is one of the main reasons why wizards are willing to work hand in hand with ordinary people."

Penelope smiled, but no one would think that she was showing any weakness.

They all had communicators. They could all sense something amiss through their communicators—the wizards had suddenly shed their original forms and were striding off in an unprecedented direction. All of this stemmed from a school and a student.

Nevertheless, they all understood one thing: one person cannot drive an era and the frenzied accumulation of knowledge, nor can one cause an era to transform. This is simply because the magical world itself possesses such technology, but it has been forgotten, and there is no corresponding approach. In recent years, however, it has been brought up again and used to transform the world.

With proper guidance, everyone is concerned about what level the wizarding world can reach. That's why no major power is blind to the fact that the magicalization of wizarding is just beginning, so they won't look at the wizarding world with prejudice.

During the talks, the two sides finalized the first delegation to visit the wizarding world and the number of wizards in the first Wizard Tower.

The number of wizards in the first batch of wizard towers will be set at two thousand for the time being. This is because casting magic using wizard towers and specially made wands as a medium requires correct hand gestures, which requires wizard tower wizards to undergo precise training. These first people will become instructors at the wizard tower academy in the future.

Soon, the general framework was finalized in the morning, and everyone accepted the invitation to a banquet at Buckingham Palace, where they chatted casually.

Since it was just casual conversation, the topic naturally turned to Harry Potter, the youngest member of the delegation.

"This young gentleman doesn't seem to be very old. How old are you, this year?" The Minister of Sports, who happened to be sitting opposite Harry, took the opportunity to ask about him.

"I'm not thirteen yet, I'm in second year, and I'll be third next year." Harry was a little reserved, but his speech was flawless.

"Oh, that's amazing. I think Mr. Harry must have some ability to join the Ulster delegation, just like Mr. Weasley and Mr. Selwyn, who are also students. These two gentlemen brought us the plan for communicators and games on communicators, which has benefited us a lot."

The Minister of Sports was surprised, and a slight smile appeared on his face—a smile that could make anyone feel kind, sunny, and positive.

Harry chuckled twice. "I don't have the outstanding abilities of senior Vio and the others. I'm just an ordinary elementary school student."

The atmosphere at the long table became lively, and the high-ranking officials and nobles from the British side laughed good-naturedly at what Harry said.

They assumed this young wizard was a spoiled rich kid brought out to broaden his horizons; this kind of "super genius" persona is very common in the world.

But they heard McGonagall say, "In this delegation, Mr. Potter should be second only to me in terms of magical ability alone."

"hiss!"

After a series of gasps, the high-ranking officials and nobles looked at Harry with the same eyes they would give a high-risk weapon.

three days later.

The delegation and British officials finalized all the details, and then the British government issued a statement and announcement to the world.

The statement declared that Britain had established a certain degree of connection with the wizarding world, and had carried out in-depth cooperation in various fields such as education, people's livelihood, clothing, food, housing and transportation, and obtained high-quality agricultural raw materials, enough to increase the world's crop production by several times or even dozens of times.

They also acquired magical medical techniques, capable of curing common illnesses like the flu within an hour, and even more serious bone and muscle fractures and injuries within a day! They could even effectively alleviate some diseases considered incurable!

This announcement made the other powerful nations green with envy! If the yield of edible crops wasn't enough to make these pampered officials anxious, then the subsequent medical technology would be enough to drive countless nobles to desperate lengths to obtain the magic potion!

This is equivalent to having a second or third life!

Having gained the deterrent effect of the previous two major wars, the high-ranking officials and nobles had no intention of obtaining such medical technology by force. Instead, they were thinking about how to use the nation's resources to win the favor of the wizards, just like Britain.

As for what Britain actually paid, even the British government itself is unclear. They only believe that the series of treaties they signed and their subsequent accession to the Gallo standard currency mechanism were all they paid.

Indeed, the Gallon-based monetary system meant that wizards could freely produce Gallon gold, which was economically equivalent to gold, and could arbitrarily control the economic situation of the entire world.

It is undoubtedly the hegemony among economic hegemonies, and can even be called a monopoly economy.

In reality, Ryan had no intention of pursuing economic hegemony. His establishment of a wizarding bank after the collapse of the Fairy Bank was precisely for the purpose of issuing currency and linking it to the global economy. This would create an unbreakable firewall in the financial sector, thereby preventing a series of conflicts that would arise after wizards and ordinary people came into contact with each other.

Similarly, this monetary mechanism can effectively resolve the inflation problem and the problem of significant wealth devaluation within the wizarding world.

At least for now, even a tiny fraction of the supplies are enough for the International Wizarding Association to appease the areas in Galon that have suffered the most severe losses and have already experienced armed unrest.

A small number of wizards have quietly infiltrated the world of ordinary people in these areas. In terms of their methods and intentions, these wizards are motivated by financial gain. However, in reality, these wizards are powerful forces that promote communication between wizards and ordinary people.

In the Wizard Tower system designed by Ryan, the real price that ordinary people have to pay is that they need to send someone to become a Wizard Tower wizard.

This is because wizard magic itself contains a certain amount of spiritual energy, while ordinary people do not have a source of magic energy in their bodies. They can only cast spells by using wands authorized by Usta. When these people use magic, the spiritual energy they dissipate is collected by the wizard tower and becomes nourishment for the wizard tower.

In other words, the more wizards there are in the Wizard Tower, the stronger and more powerful the entire magic network system becomes.

In essence, this behavior involves ordinary people contributing their time, effort, and money to upgrade the wizards' equipment, while in return gaining the right to use the equipment.

Everyone felt they had made a profit.

On the communication forum, more and more ordinary people and political forces are hoping to establish cooperative relationships with wizards.

After being bombarded with news about wizards for several days on internet forums, those who had the means began to discuss and exchange information about the strange events happening around them, both online and offline.

A mix of true and false information has been released. For example, some people say that the sports prodigy who has emerged in the last two years is actually from the wizarding world.

For example, some people have shared that they often see small animals that are not like ordinary creatures in remote valleys and lakesides.

For example, some people in Romania claim that they heard a long, resonant roar, as if it were coming from inside a mountain, and they insist that it was the roar of a dragon!
