Hogwarts: The Greatest Wizard - Chapter 321
c321 319 Council of Elders Consul Meeting
Two days later, representatives of the four consular families arrived at the Presbyterian headquarters in the Vatican, and the consular meeting was officially convened.
At the same time, the sworn families of the Presbyterian Church have also excluded representatives and are preparing to participate in the sworn family meeting after the consular meeting. Under normal circumstances, after the consular meeting, the representatives of the consular family will hold a meeting of the sworn family and will meet with the elders. Inform them of the matters and decisions that have been discussed and decided, and at the same time, declare the responsibilities that each family needs to bear.
The entire consular meeting will last for a week, and one or two things will be discussed a day. The participants are not only the elders, but also the four consular families, and some selected oath families will also attend the meeting. Of course, they are just spectators. Provide voting personnel when necessary.
Feeney and Sirius walked into this small conference hall under the guidance of the waiter.
The entire room is about more than 100 square meters in size. Directly opposite the entrance are several rows of stepped seats, where the elders sit.
Directly in front of the seat is a long conference table with a chair at the top and five chairs on each side.
They are the three chief elders of the elders’ group and the positions of two representatives from each of the four families.
There is a document placed in front of each chair on the long table. In the middle of the table are two candlesticks, which illuminate the room brightly.
Of course, this is not the credit of the candlesticks, but the credit of the magic arranged on the candlesticks. What kind of magic is specific, Feeney does not know. He is sure that the two candlesticks are not alchemical equipment, and he does not collect them in the Presbyterian Church. Similar magic or spells were found in those books.
This made Feeney feel that the original function of this magic was not lighting, but a very powerful combat magic, otherwise it would not have been hidden by the Presbyterian Council.
Under the guidance of the waiter, Feeney and Sirius sat on the chairs with the Black family crest engraved on them, waiting for the arrival of other families.
The two of them were the first to arrive here. Soon after, Cobos of the Lestrange family and a representative of their family also walked in.
“Phineas! Sirius! Long time no see,”
Cobos and Feeney greeted each other,
Feeney guessed from Cobos’s deliberate tone that the family representative who followed him in was not from him, but from their family elder. Therefore, they could not communicate anything in the following meeting. ,
After all, in everyone’s eyes, Black and Lestrange were not compatible.
After a while, Elrond and Thorim of the Selwyn family also walked in. Unlike Cobos, they both greeted Finney warmly and then sat next to Finney. There was Selwyn’s position, with Lestrange and Ritchie opposite,
Thorim is Elrond’s younger brother, and has the same name as Elrond’s grandson. However, there are indeed two factions. Thorim’s side has always wanted to replace Elrond as the patriarch of the Selwyn family.
The Selwyn family has very good rules. The fights within the family are all internal conflicts. In front of outsiders, they always form a front, even if this front may harm the interests of a certain faction within the family, this is still the case.
The last ones to arrive were the brothers Kuzan Rich and Porusalino Rich. The Rich family was another family that absolutely agreed besides Black. All affairs of their family were completely decided by Kuzan, and Polusa Lino is only responsible for providing advice and ideas to Kuzan at critical times to prevent him from making violent mood swings and making irrational choices due to something.
After all four families and eight people had arrived, a door appeared next to the rows of stairs in front of the conference room.
Three old men with gray hair and beards came out first.
The three old men all wore one-piece dark robes with a white lining under the robes, making the three old men look like church priests and knights of the Order.
That is the costume of the Presbyterian Council. It is said to be an alchemy tool that has many effects such as inner peace, concentration of magic power, and powerful protection.
On the chest of the dark robe are their respective family crests, which represent their identity and the family they come from.
Coincidentally, two of these three old men were members of the Black and Rich families. The middle one had the symbol of the Deathly Hallows on his chest, which meant that he was not from the family, but It is the oldest master-disciple inheritance,
According to legend, the chief elder of the group of elders is inherited from masters and apprentices rather than from the family. Even if a wizard from the family takes this position, he will only recognize the previous chief elder as his master and not the family.
Because reaching this position represents the interests of the Presbyterian Church, not the interests of the family,
In fact, no member of the elders would give up the possibility of becoming a god for the sake of their respective families. For them, the family has long been not that important, and only the elders who have just joined them are likely to sacrifice for their families. Come forward and do something, like the elders of the Rich family who caused trouble for Feeney last time.
Immediately behind the three chief elders are the members of the elders. They are also wearing robes representing the elders, but the lining inside them is not white but gray.
The three elders walked to the long table, and the eight of them quickly stood up to show respect.
After the elders took their seats, they could sit down. At the same time, this also meant that the first day of the meeting had officially begun.
Similar to what Feeney had predicted, they only discussed one thing on the first day. That is to bring the wizards of the American continent into the scope of the Presbyterian Church.
Everyone agrees on this point. After all, this is the requirement of the Presbyterian Church.
However, everyone still has some different opinions that need to be expressed. The meeting itself is a process in which everyone expresses their opinions and discusses with each other to decide on an optimal solution.
“We, the Lestrange family, have absolutely no objection to including the wizards in America under the rule of the Presbyterian Church, but what are we going to do?”
Cobos spoke first,
Elrond followed,
“Our Selwyn family had a marriage with a family in America some time ago. It was this marriage that made us aware of the difficulties of wizard life there,”
Feeney nodded and added,
“As far as I know, the wizards over there need to hide in the shadows, and they don’t even dare to use magic easily. In fact, there has even been an Obscurus,”
Kuzan agrees,
“We in the Rich family also know something about this. He found the boy from the Dumbledore family who controlled Obscurus around Grindelwald decades ago on the American continent. It is said that the little boy who appeared in Obscurus over there There are many wizards, and most of them die silently when they are very young,”
Cobos continued,
“So, it is difficult to bring it under the control of the Presbyterian Church. After all, the wizards there are different from those in Europe. Their influence on the Muggle world is almost zero. Many wizards need to live according to the laws of the Muggles, so , they have no idea of taking refuge in the Presbyterian Church, and they even have no concept of the Presbyterian Church.”
Feeney, Elrond, and Kuzan nodded. This was a rare situation among the four consul families in the Presbyterian Church who agreed on something at the same time.
Hearing this, the elders present also broke into a whispering discussion. It seemed that they did not know that much about the situation with the wizards in America. The reason why they wanted to bring them under control was just because of the situation in America. The country’s status in the Muggle world is constantly rising.
Moreover, their magical world seems to be separated from the entire world, just like that ancient country in the East. It is completely outside the control of the Presbyterian Council, and will not easily communicate with wizards from other countries, and does not even allow anyone who is not theirs. The wizard of the country has entered their territory,
They don’t want the Americas to become like this one day. They have no way to stop the ancient Eastern country because that country’s power in the Mystic Test is too strong. However, if the Americas develop like this, they are absolutely unwilling to do so. .
Bang~bang~bang
There was a crisp knocking sound, and everyone looked around after hearing the sound.
It was the chief elder. He tapped his knuckles on the table. After attracting everyone, he coughed twice, cleared his throat, and said in a very hoarse voice,
“We have understood what you have said. Let us first tell you about our decision. First, determine a new consul family to control and represent all wizards in the Americas. You will choose the family in this position after you discuss the results. , it’s up to us!”
“Secondly, the indigenous wizards in the Americas are very interesting. Their magic may have a different effect on us. The most important thing is that there are many existences there that need to be sealed by us but have not been dealt with.”
After hearing this, Feeney discovered an issue that he had always ignored, which was another essence of the existence of the Presbyterian Church, the seal.
Just like Hypor, because the number and location of his Horcruxes could not be determined, they were eventually sealed. It is said that they are still sealed somewhere deep in the Atlantic Ocean.
There is also something under Hogwarts, which is said to be a treasure that may overturn the entire world, and was also sealed there by the Presbyterian Church.
For thousands of years, these beings in America that could destroy the world have not been sealed, and they have never been, but the world still exists. This is a bit scary when you think about it.
Is it possible that the Presbyterian Church seals things that are harmful not to the world but to themselves?
Or is it an existence that can influence them to become gods?
So, in other words, will legendary wizards outside the quota they decided become demigods and be sealed by them?
So, was Slytherin sealed away by them?
After all, according to Hufflepuff, Slytherin must still be alive. However, in today’s wizarding world, no one in the wizarding world has heard any news that may be related to Slytherin. This person is like It was as if he suddenly disappeared completely from history. If he was sealed by the Presbyterian Church, then everything would be explained clearly.
Feeney, who was trying to understand this, suddenly realized that perhaps this time the Presbyterian Church wanted to bring America under its control not because of the rapid development of that country, but because of the emergence of a being in that country who would influence them to become gods. It may occupy their quota to become gods, or it may cut off their path to becoming gods.
After announcing the three things, the chief elder fell into silence again, closed his eyes slightly, and fell asleep.
Feeney and the others began to discuss the choice of the fifth consul family.
“The Aibo family can,”
Elrond was the first to tell the Selwyn family’s choice.
The Abbot family is a family under the Selwyn family. It has maintained the purity of its bloodline for thousands of years. Like the Blake and Rich families, the direct line chooses to marry close relatives to ensure that the bloodline remains unchanged. At the same time, their family They have extraordinary talents in life magic. Most countries in Europe have taverns opened by their members.
Kuzan smiled disdainfully and said,
“According to what you said, the Nott family is more suitable. They not only maintain the purity of this bloodline, but they are also the family that formulated the “Pure Blood Directory”. No one is sure how many secrets of the magical world their family has mastered.”
Feeney nodded and said,
“The Nott family is not bad. It is said that they are descendants of the Goddess of Night. A few years ago, they were used as pawns by Sakaski Rich in an attempt to become a god.”
When Kuzan heard this, his face suddenly turned ugly. The Sakaski incident a few years ago happened at Hogwarts and was related to Feeney, so they did not suppress it. Therefore, Today the Knott family is not as loyal to the Ritchie family as it once was.
Cobos smiled and said,
“If you ask me, the Breen family is not bad,”
Elrond said with a sneer,
“Is he a close relative of the Bryant family? The Bryant family tried to attack the only second-generation member of the Black family some time ago, but they were exterminated by you. How dare you recommend their close relatives? Cobos, what are you doing? Are they overestimating their loyalty to the Lestrange family, or are they underestimating the Black family’s revenge methods?”
Upon hearing this, Sirius leaned forward, rested his elbows on the table, and said,
“If their family becomes the new consul family, our Black family will go to war with them as soon as possible!”
Feeney nodded in agreement,
“If you don’t have any ideas, how about choosing the Potter family? Although the Potter family only has Harry Potter now, this is also their advantage. There will be no other messy things, and there will be no confusion. The bloodline of the Te family is also very pure. They are descendants of the Peverell family. As the descendants of the third of the three dead brothers, there is absolutely no problem for them to become the consul family! “
