Despite their mental preparations, Fury and Ciel still had an indescribable feeling when they stepped into the huge antechamber of the Magic Congress.From the outside, the Magic Congress is the size of the Woolworth Building, but beyond the quaint door, there is a grand hall about the size of Times Square.The impact of this visual spatial change made Hill a little puzzled, she raised her head and looked at the reliefs placed around the palace-like vestibule that was nearly 10 meters high, and the stone statues were not as rigid as the outside world, in fact, they would move...
It can't help but feel frightened.And most of those reliefs Hill didn't know, but a few people Hill was familiar with.She looked back at the chubby receptionist Aeginus beside her, and she asked softly, "Do you wizards respect President Lincoln too?"
”"Of course."
Aeginus smiled and said, "President Lincoln was one of the few Muggle presidents who knew of the existence of the Wizarding Congress, and he had a good relationship with us during his lifetime.At the most critical moment of the Civil War, the Wizarding Speaker even called a vote for the wizards to enter the war and ensure the victory of President Lincoln's side, but the vote was eventually canceled. ”"Was it canceled because wizards couldn't intervene in the world of ordinary people?"
Hill asked again, and Aeginus shrugged, "No, it's not, it's because there are people among the wizards who oppose President Lincoln's ideas, and the Speaker is worried that forcibly intervening in the war will cause the wizarding world to split."
Actually, Ms.
Hill, we're not much different from you, trust me...
Many of us also celebrate Independence Day and National Day in secret. ”"A lot of us are curious about the Muggle world."
Athenus stretched out his hand, pointed to the old-fashioned elevator that was opening in front of him, and said to the man behind him, "Please follow me, Samuel.
Chairman G.
Kohaug is waiting for you. ”Fury walks into the old-fashioned elevator, and in front of him, there are many strangely dressed wizards looking at him with curious eyes, which makes Fury feel like he is being watched in a zoo.And at the end of his line of sight, across the bustling antechamber, in the row of glowing green fireplaces, every now and then a wizard with a staff or a broom would come out or walk in with the light and shadow.Fury was a little surprised by this scene, he looked at Merlin and asked in a low voice, "These fireplaces...""
That's the connection entrance to the Floo network."
Merlin didn't want to make a fool of himself as his boss, explaining, "You can think of it as a portal, and from those fireplaces you can reach anywhere in the world connected by the Floo network, even some of the large enchantments that have been hidden. ”"Yes, I heard you."
Fury nodded, and the moment the elevator closed, he said, "But why the fireplace?"
Can't you make it into a door?
”"Well, it's probably because of tradition."
Merlin didn't know how to answer Fury's tricky question, saying, "You know, wizards are a group of people who respect tradition. ”The old-fashioned elevator started up the next moment, and Fury was ready to go up or down, but to his surprise, the thing was actually going sideways!
The sudden retreat of the elevator made Hill lose his footing for a moment, and the whole person fell into Merlin's arms.She stood up a little embarrassed, and was about to pick up the papers that had fallen on the ground, when Merlin's fingers flicked and the papers were lifted by invisible magic and quickly fell back into Ciel's hands.The elevator carrying four people seemed to be wandering quickly through a labyrinth, and the paths it passed were dizzying, and it was clear from these passages that the real size of the Magic Congress was larger than Fury had guessed.It's like a small hidden city.A few minutes later, with a clanging sound, the elevator doors reopened.Aezinus stepped out of the elevator, and in front of everyone, it was a quiet, conference hall-like place, and at the end of the hall, an old man dressed like Dumbledore in a black robe, was smiling and smiling with a cane carved into an owl's head."
That's Chairman Samuel."
Aynus introduced to the people around him: "He is the Wizarding Speaker of the Magical Congress of the United States, and the direct prefect of all the Aurors, he is currently the most respected wizard in North America.He advocated that wizards should share the world with Muggles...
He had been trying to establish an organization responsible for wizarding and Muggle communication, and this meeting was only approved at the insistence of Chairman Samuel. ”The high-ranking Auror said to Fury, who was beside him, "Nick.
Mr.
Fury, the cooperation you want is right now, but you first have to convince Chairman Samuel to support you. ”With that, Aesinus and Merlin waved goodbye, turned around and returned to the elevator, quickly disappearing behind the wall.Fury straightened his clothes, and he stepped forward quickly.He has also experienced a lot of big scenes, although he is still curious about the wizarding world in his heart, but he will not affect his own work because of this curiosity."
Hello, Chairman Samuel."
Fury walked up to the old wizard and held out his hand to him, the old wizard smiled and nodded, reached out to shake Fury's hand, he pointed to the round table beside him, and he said in a gentle, articulate voice, "Sit down first, guests, we can talk slowly." ”As everyone took their seats, Samuel looked at Fury and Merlin with his pale gray eyes, and he said, "First of all, I want to thank you for your organization, called S.H.I.E.L.D., right?"
I want to thank you for helping the Magic Council deal with big trouble during the unexpected incident a few days ago. ”The Wizarding Speaker's expression became serious, and he said, "Whether it's our slightly chaotic colleagues in the UK, or the reappearance of the Death Eaters, these are big things that can affect the wizarding world in North America, especially the tree bee that shouldn't appear, if it can't be handled, it can easily cause a chaotic disaster." ”"Thankfully, you showed up when we needed help the most."
Fury said: "It's nothing, S.H.I.E.L.D.'
s duty is also to maintain the existing order in the world, even without the factor of the Ministry of Magic, the moment that tree bee appeared in New York, S.H.I.E.L.D. couldn't stay out of it." ”"We're helping ourselves, and of course, it's a privilege to be able to help the wizards.""
No, no, no."
Samuel shook his head, and he said to Fury, "Not just to help us, Director Fury, but I appreciate your quick response and handling of crisis events, which is very much worth learning from the Magical Congress's operations department." ”Speaking of this, the speaker complained with some dissatisfaction: "It is a good habit for wizards to respect tradition, but many times, we are also bound by tradition.What you may not know is that the Auror division of the Wizarding Congress still maintains the rules and procedures of the Civil War, and even from the wizards' point of view, that set of things is backward enough. ”"For 20 years since I took office, I've been trying to change this age-old clause that binds us, but with little success."
Samuel sighed, and he said, "Wizards are used to living in seclusion, and any change will not be welcomed by them.But this time it was an exception. ”The old wizard raised his head and smiled at Merlin: "Wizards always despise the power of the Muggle world, and this time your treatment of the Tree Bee and the Death Eaters has shown us the advantages of the Muggle civilization. ”"That's why we're sitting here now and talking about the possibility of collaboration."
He stretched out his finger and with a flick of it, several cups of fragrant coffee appeared in front of Fury, Hill and Merlin, and he ordered them on the table, and the tray with sugar cubes also appeared in the center of the table, as well as some fresh melons and fruits.The old wizard rubbed his forehead and said apologetically, "Look at me, it's rude.There were no refreshments for the guests, so I hope you don't mind. ”"Uh, nothing."
Fury looked at the teacups and sugar cubes that appeared out of thin air, and he mentally reminded himself that he was facing a legendary wizard.He organized the language and said to Samuel, "This is what we have been seeking, Lord Samuel. ”"S.H.I.E.L.D. is entrusted with the mission and responsibility of the World Security Council to maintain order in the world, but if we can't get in touch with wizards, then maintaining order can only be empty talk.There are many things in this world that are different from ordinary people, mutants, aliens, aliens, etc., and wizards are also one of them. ”Fury said sincerely: "S.H.I.E.L.D. wants to establish a large framework for peaceful coexistence, but it is not possible to build it and rely on our unilateral efforts. ”"I understand."
Samuel replied, "But I don't know how to start at the moment, after all, this is the first time that the wizarding world has really cooperated with the Muggle world, there has never been such a precedent before, and for me, I need a plan with a high degree of feasibility to convince my more stubborn compatriots." ”He knocked on the table and said to Fury, "So Mr.
Fury, do you have a plan for our initial cooperation?"
”"Ciel."
Fury glanced back at his assistant, and Hill, who was drinking coffee, immediately put down the cup, took out a small instrument from his bag, put it on the table, and then activated the instrument, and a projection appeared in the air in front of everyone's eyes.Fury stood up, pointed to the sketchy system on the projection, and introduced Samuel, "Within S.H.I.E.L.D., we have a team dedicated to dealing with the supernatural, led by Agent Merlin.The group is also experimental, and is currently based in New York, dealing with a number of incidents caused by low-level outliers. ”"Over the past few months, we've dealt with demon-induced cults, rampire vampires, succubi with cholera order everywhere, and some runaway werewolves, ghouls in the sewers, and so on."
With the wave of Fury's fingers, Hill kept projecting pictures of the case into the air, and Samuel nodded slowly."
Suffice it to say, Agent Merlin's group has proven its worth, and in the next step, I will upgrade this group to a dedicated department responsible for monitoring and intervening in the paranormal caused by magic."
Fury said to Samuel, "From my conversations with several Aurors, I have found that the Magic Council is a little weak in dealing with these matters and maintaining order in the wizarding world, because you have too few gestures at your disposal, and I think this aspect is the basis of our mutual cooperation." ”"We classify those supernatural affairs, according to my idea, they are classified as E-S class events, and this time the appearance of the Death Eaters and Fire Dragons is used as the benchmark for A-class, and the supernatural phenomena below B-level are handled by S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, while the Aurors of the Magic Congress focus on serious matters above A."
Fury spread his hands and said to Samuel: "Such a system can combine the human resource advantage of S.H.I.E.L.D. with the high-level power advantage of the Wizarding Congress. ”"Not only will it be effective in reducing the pressure on the Aurors, but it will also re-establish a new order for the North American wizarding community with the cooperation of both parties...
What I mean by this is that not all alien and supernatural creatures are evil, and we identify them, build files, and monitor and intervene in all aspects. ”"As I said, a big framework, in which the supernatural creatures can find the order and safety they need.""
The villains outside the framework will naturally have fighters from both sides to confront and expel them."
At this moment, Fury was full of confidence, his words were full of contagion, and in just a few minutes of introduction, he clearly expressed his future plan.Speaker Samuel nodded, he didn't answer immediately, but from his thoughtful gaze, it could be seen that he had been persuaded by Fury.There may be a few more details to discuss, though.But those can be done slowly.After a few minutes, Speaker Samuel said to Fury, "Valuable advice, Mr.
Fury, but I can't get back to you right away, I need some time to think about it."

Well, if I need it, then ask your assistant to go here and convince my colleagues with a more detailed plan. ”He took a ring from his finger and handed it to Fury, saying, "If there's any news, I'll contact you through this teleportation ring."
Oh, by the way, I have one more question. ”The old wizard stood up and said to Fury, "If this department is really established, we need to send representatives from both of us to participate in it, do you have a representative to send?"
”"Of course."
Fury's eyes fell on Merlin, who was tasting melons and fruits and taking out to watch the play, Merlin suddenly had an ominous premonition, and the next moment, Fury pointed at him and said to Chairman Samuel: "Agent Merlin, as the representative of S.H.I.E.L.D., will join this upcoming department and serve as the commander of the agents on the S.H.I.E.L.D. side." ”"Oh, Mr.
Merlin!"
Old wizard Samuel glanced back at Merlin, his eyes full of approval."
My old friend Dumbledore also thinks that Mr.
Merlin is a decent man worthy of recognition, and it is only fitting that he should be in charge of the intermediary communication between S.H.I.E.L.D. and wizards.""
Well, I don't have a problem at the moment
