Chapter 391: I'll Report It Directly

"Magic revival?"

Dumbledore heard this term for the first time.

Murphy explained roughly, "The Oath must have lowered the magic level of the world, right? That shows that the magic level in the past was higher than it is now. Now the Oath is gradually being broken, and the level is recovering. Isn't that magic revival?"

"Very appropriate," Dumbledore evaluated, then sighed. "I heard that magic disasters have begun to appear in many places."

He really wanted to say that this was caused by Murphy's behavior, but arguing about this now had no meaning. Murphy might be the fuse, but he had already detonated some things. Even if Murphy died immediately now, the process of "magic revival" might be difficult to interrupt.

"Indeed, the frequency and scale of magic disasters are increasing, and magic revival is also effective for those magical creatures. They have become stronger, and their temperaments seem to be becoming more and more irritable..."

"I heard that you formed a Muggle troop," Dumbledore said. "Is it true?"

"That's right," Murphy nodded. "But it's still very immature, and there have been several casualties."

"Do you need my help?" Dumbledore asked.

"Not for the time being," Murphy said. "Although there are some troubles, they can all be solved."

Chimera and the like, machine guns can't hit them, can't I use tanks?

Bullets can be enchanted, can't shells?

As long as the development speed of his magic technology is faster than the speed of magic revival, he can suppress the disasters brought about by magic revival.

It's just that maintaining such suppression requires racing against time, which is indeed not easy.

Especially when there are still many guys holding him back.

"By the way, Professor, I heard that your trip to France didn't go well?" Murphy said. "Did they scold me?"

"I'm not sure," Dumbledore smiled. "After all, my French is not very good, and their scolding is too roundabout. Sometimes I find it difficult to understand their humor."

"However, they have opinions on some of your recent actions."

"Oh? How so?"

"You let Muggles participate in wizard affairs, making them feel that you are preparing to rely on Muggles. Some people feel that you are like the Second Salemers, preparing to rely on Muggle power to eliminate wizards."

"Uh..." Murphy was speechless for a while. "Does anyone believe such an absurd statement?"

"Of course, not everyone thinks this statement makes sense. About half of the other people see Gellert speaking for you and think that you are actually a wizard purist."

"..."

Murphy sighed. "Fine, whatever. Is anyone else preparing to go to war?"

"Of course there are. Many people in the Magical Congress of the United States support this opinion. However, they are far away and don't seem to really intend to take action for the time being."

"The Wizards' Union is now managing the Statute of Secrecy more strictly, but only in name. I guess they want to draw a line with you. But in fact, I have received a lot of news. Many wizards want to follow your old path and are preparing to make a fortune."

"Tsk." Murphy clicked his tongue. Neither of these are good things.

The former puts him under greater environmental pressure, while the latter directly gives him many uncontrollable competitors.

"What are you going to do?" Dumbledore asked.

Murphy pondered for a while. "For the Union, naturally, we must divide them and not let them unite against the outside world. And for those speculators... damn it, dare to grab business from me, hum, dream on!"

"But if you take action against them, even fewer people will support you," Dumbledore reminded.

After all, those speculators are all people who want to learn from Murphy. To a certain extent, they can be considered Murphy's fellow travelers.

"Why should I take action against them? They are doing illegal business, right? Can't I just report them directly?"

"???"

Two months later, in the summer of '96, the Wizards' Union suddenly announced the establishment of the "Wizards' Guild."

This is a trade organization used to manage and regulate the trade behavior of Union wizards.

Regardless of which country they belong to, any wizard individual or organization can apply to join the Wizards' Guild, and once they join, they simultaneously possess "Wizards' Union citizenship."

And, the Wizards' Union Constitution stipulates, "Any Wizards' Union citizen, their personal, property, and other rights are absolutely protected by the Wizards' Union. Any act that infringes on the rights of Union citizens, regardless of where it occurs, will be hit with the full force of the Union."

That is to say, this is an unlimited extraterritorial jurisdiction that can legally grant the Union the right to enforce Union laws in any region of the world.

At the same time, a vigorous "Justice Sanction" operation stirred up the situation in both the Muggle and wizard worlds.

Murphy used the market research of the Umbrella Corporation and various means including monitoring Muggle communication networks to dig out those speculators who tried to imitate him one by one.

Subsequently, he began to report frantically.

Any wizard who did not join the Wizards' Guild, did not want to accept Union management, but still wanted to make money secretly, their crimes of selling potions were listed clearly one by one, and then posted in the newspapers of their countries, delivered to their national Ministry of Magic, and even windows were smashed and thrown onto the Aurors' desks.

For a time, the Ministries of Magic of various countries had to take action and began to crack down on the wizard pests in their countries who were trying to violate the Statute of Secrecy.

And with those detailed reporting materials as a handle, the speculators could hardly hide their secrets.

In just one month, more than thirty wizards were tried, and millions of Galleons were confiscated.

This made the Ministries of Magic of various countries even more like they had been injected with chicken blood, and they began to clear out the speculators even more frantically.

The Wizards' Union was also actively acting and strongly urging.

Murphy was far away in the UK, his hands couldn't reach over, and even if they did, he couldn't beat them, but he couldn't beat Murphy, but he couldn't handle you little shrimps?

Wizard speculators in various countries were like rats crossing the street, and they could no longer hide behind and make money silently.

Half a month later, finally, a smart Danish wizard ran to the UK and announced that he would join the Wizards' Guild and simultaneously register as a Wizards' Union citizen.

The next day, when the Aurors of the Danish Ministry of Magic broke into his illegal potion workshop for making love potion perfume and prepared to arrest this wizard, he pressed an alarm in his hand.

Immediately, ten British Aurors and twenty Watchers descended from the sky and engaged in a fierce battle with the Danish Aurors.

Due to the disadvantage in numbers, the Danish Aurors were quickly defeated and were hijacked by the British right under their noses, both people and goods.

Two days later, this person was said to have become a Muggle potion dealer, selling various diluted potions of the Umbrella Corporation to Muggles, with a 10% commission on the profit of each bottle of potion, making a net profit of one thousand Galleons a day.

At this moment, wizard speculators all over the world understood.

Is it to be iron-headed and fight hard against the Ministry of Magic, the Wizards' Union, and Murphy, betting on a one-in-ten-thousand chance to become the next Murphy?

Or to hug Murphy's thigh and drink soup with the big boss?

The correct answer has already been marked for you.

Still can't do this question?
