Chapter 109: A New Beginning (End)
During this month, Ivan kept wandering in the world of reality and magic, and communicated with those consortiums that had a large amount of resources, as well as politicians with huge political influence.
The last time I participated in the International Wizards Federation, Ivan understood one thing: it is best to discuss things that are important before the meeting officially begins, and at least reach an agreement with several bigwigs first.
If you can't do it, you will be destined to get no results during the meeting.
However, it is obviously not an easy task to convince these giants who have a lot of power, resources and a head higher than their top. Fortunately, Ivan is not a vegetarian. With the ability to absorb gods and take thoughts, there are almost no cases of inducing and coercion.
After all, he has three decisive chips in his hand!
The first chip is naturally the bottle of potion that can turn Muggles into wizards and the immortal potion!
The former represents power, especially after Ivan summoned a huge tornado in France to overturn a modern army, the presidents and prime ministers who knew the inside story understood what kind of power magic is. If possible, no one would refuse to become a wizard.
The potion of immortality is even less effective. All the great chaebols and political leaders are old. For them, the most urgent thing at the moment is to continue to live. If their lives are gone, no matter how much power and money are, they will be just dirt.
Of course, Ivan would not waste the power of the Philosopher's Stone at will, and he had no favoritism for those chaebol politicians. The immortal potion was just a little bait he deliberately released.
When his plan is successfully completed, he will take more than many of these people from him!
As for the second bargaining chip, it is the president of the Ivan International Wizards Federation - he can make some decisions on behalf of the entire magical world.
In the current political division of the Muggle world, wizards, as a reintegrated force, have the ability to influence and interfere with the balance of strength among countries.
Even if it is recognized as the world's largest power, America, it must carefully consider every proposal of his Federation President.
If all the above coercion and inducement fail, Ivan still has the last trump card, which is the ability to turn the table off!
For those stubborn men who are insatiable and intend to seek more benefits from him, Ivan will use the exclusive treatment method, and then use the God-Snatching Thought to modify a wave of memory, and then solve it perfectly.
But this method cannot be used too much, because the Soul-Snatching Curse will gradually become invalid with time, and modifying memory is not as reliable as imagined. People's hearts will always change, and he does not have the leisure to take care of so many people at the same time.
In addition, once the news of him using the Soul-Snatching Curse to control these giants was exposed, it would definitely have a very bad impact and hinder the implementation of the plan.
"Why, I'm not very adaptable?" Ivan, who had just 'persuaded' a stubborn, noticed that the Aurors next to him looked like they wanted to speak but stopped.
However, Ivan didn't care, but smiled and asked. "Do you think my methods are a little too extreme?"
A little too extreme... Several male witches looked at each other with a strange expression. They could witness with their own eyes how Ivan coerced and tempted the other party to accept the proposal. Finally, after the talk broke, they even sent a soul-taking spell to others... They almost thought that the president of the League of Nations in front of them was disguised by a dark wizard.
Ivan naturally knew what these people were thinking and sighed helplessly. He knew that his actions would probably cause some unnecessary misunderstandings. He immediately patted several people on the shoulders and explained to them earnestly what it means to devote himself to the darkness and just to work hard in the light.
Although they have already solved the problem of Grindelwald, the conflict between the wizard and the Muggle still exists. If this matter is not resolved, the second and third Grindelwald will appear in the future. Everything he does now is to completely solve this problem...
"This is like I'll take you to attack the French Ministry of Magic and arrest Grindelwald. If you follow the normal process, hold a meeting for discussion and finally get the search warrant, it will take at least three days. It's hard to guarantee that the news will not be leaked. If Grindelwald escapes and takes the opportunity to start a war, it will inevitably cause greater casualties..."
With Ivan's constant deception... Oh no, after the explanation, several male witches finally realized the president's good intentions and understood the necessity of using the Soul-Snatching Curse in violation of regulations.
Ivan saw the thoughts of the people and nodded with satisfaction. He had to be too busy with things during this period. Fren and others were sent by him to arrest Grindelwald's believers from all over the world. They urgently needed to train a few trustworthy young men to help him work...
...
A month passed in a flash, and the World Joint Conference, which had been prepared for a long time, was successfully held in the British Ministry of Magic.
Because major matters had been discussed in advance, the initial process of the meeting was very smooth and there were no too many obstacles.
All major powers have agreed very readily to strengthen bilateral cooperation. The combination of science and magic sounds very promising, and may even trigger the industrial revolution to become the source of a new round of technological explosion. Of course, they will not and cannot refuse.
Not to mention that Ivan also directly came up with some results this time, such as flying motorcycles, Knight buses and other modified objects, confirming that the combination of science and magic is completely feasible.
Some presidents whose minds are full of arms and war are already considering whether the solidified floating curse on flying motorcycles can be used on planes, significantly reducing the weight of the fuselage, consuming less fuel, and loading more explosives.
As for the problem of too few magic reserves and the number of wizards, Ivan believes that as long as the newer wizard potion is continuously developed, it will definitely be gradually solved in the future.
Until then, Ivan did not want to directly disclose the existence of the wizard and the magic world, but was preparing to slowly release intelligence to test it, so as not to cause large-scale conflicts. The wizard's complete openness may have to wait until the full version of the wizard potion is developed, and the magic network device he is developing is successfully running.
After the cooperation matters were basically finalized, negotiations on the content of the contract would be much more difficult. The negotiation experts brought by the presidents and prime ministers did not spare any effort to win more benefits for themselves, and even abandoned past grudges and joined forces to put pressure on Ivan, the president of the League of Nations.
It took half a month for the entire meeting to finalize all the details...
When the meeting officially ended, the presidents who walked out of the National Union Building with contracts could not help but feel a premonition in their hearts.
Chapter completed!
