Chinese students at Hogwarts.

Chapter 543 Fusion
In the huge garden of Hogwarts, a tent was set up with a small sign at the door.

Zhang Xiao walked over and saw a sign that said: "Emergency Ministry of Magic for Special Times, Temporary Headquarters of the International Confederation of Wizards"

From time to time, employees of the Ministry of Magic came in and out of the tent with big dark circles under their eyes. They walked hurriedly, holding all kinds of documents.

Some of them would just pull up their hats and Disapparate away as soon as they left the house.

The sound of "bang bang bang" was continuous.

Zhang Xiao nodded, but he didn't expect that the efficiency of the Ministry of Magic was much higher now.

The space inside the tent is large, similar to a circular hall, with a huge chandelier hanging from the ceiling.

There are rooms next to the circular corridor, which looks a bit like a Hakka earth building.

The entrance was quite spacious, and there were no personnel who were specifically responsible for testing wands as in the previous Ministry of Magic.

There was only a small table where a tired employee sat, his head nodding and his eyelids drooping together.

There was also a sign leaning against the table: "Visitors' Office - Please register here if you need directions."

Zhang Xiao walked over and saw the bearded uncle still sleeping. He shook his head but did not wake him up. Instead, he simply clicked on the diagram on his desk and copied it.

Surprisingly, the Minister of Magic's office was quite close, just one flight down via stairs.

People were coming and going around, all of them frowning and walking in a hurry. Some people looked up and saw Zhang Xiao, but seemed not to react. After walking for a while, they turned back in shock and looked at the receding figure.

Before I even reached the office, the sounds of heated arguments and discussions could be heard coming from the half-covered wooden door.

"No, I object!"

"But this is the best way!"

"Okay - silence, this is a serious discussion!"

The sound stopped as he pushed the door open, and everyone in the room turned to look at the door.

A bearded man has frowned:

"Kid, this is the Minister's office. We are discussing important matters. If you have any questions, please--"

The person next to him pulled him, and the bearded man shut his mouth, not knowing what was going on.

The minister Susan Bones, who was sitting in the innermost part, had stood up. Her thin face was full of fatigue, and she forced a smile.

"Zhang, nice to see you again."

The bearded man was stunned. He tried to shrink back, using other people to hide his expression, and asked his companions in a low voice.

"Is this Zhang? He doesn't even look like an adult!"

"Stop talking! I asked you to watch the replay of the magic projection but you didn't want to!"

Zhang Xiao pretended not to hear and nodded to Susan Bones:
"Professor Sprout said you had something to ask me."

"Oh - yes, yes, very important things -" Susan Bones clapped her hands: "Okay, ladies and gentlemen, let's pause our meeting.

Well, you know the reason. There are some things we can’t decide, or it’s useless to decide, right?”

Some people's faces darkened, some nodded with a wry smile to show their agreement, and more people were just tired. They pinched their brows, stood up and left in silence.

Calm gradually returned to the minister's office.

Susan Bones waved her hand, and the office door closed tightly.

She smiled self-deprecatingly. "See, this catastrophe wasn't without benefits, was it? At least the wizards reported that their spells became much more powerful.

He even confidently stated that he could fight several former Aurors alone.

Unfortunately, the Aurors have also become stronger—"

Zhang Xiao smiled. Things happened too fast and too frequently. The Taoist sect was fine because there were not many people left. Director Zhao had just stated that the country would do everything in its power to help the Taoist sect rebuild.

In fact, I am not very worried about this. Over the long period of time, the Taoist sect has suffered heavy losses, but as my father said before.

The foundation of Taoism has always been the general public. It is passed down in culture and remains forever in people's hearts.

Even the Onmyoji who live a small life will be revived. As long as this land is still there and the people on it are still there, Taoism will never perish.

"any drinks?"

Susan seemed to want to create a more relaxed atmosphere for chatting, or she didn't know what attitude she should use towards Zhang Xiao.

Because it has never happened before that the most powerful wizard, the most powerful wizard in the world, is a child who is only 16 years old.

In the past, he should have been preparing to enter the sixth grade.

"You're welcome, Susan. Dumbledore said you're a good minister, so he asked me to help you and try to calm people's hearts.

You know, although he is gone, I will never forget what Dumbledore said."

Zhang Xiao pulled a chair over and sat down in front of her, as if he was listening attentively.

Susan's movements were a little stiff and she seemed a little dazed. Then Susan lowered her head, covered her face with her hands and rubbed it hard.

In an instant, she turned into the shrewd and capable Minister of Magic again, but her red eyes revealed that her emotions were clearly not as calm as she appeared.

"are you OK?"

"Nothing, I just remembered something. Dumbledore had called on wizards to stand up and be as fearless and brave as you, and to contribute their strength to more people.

Most of the Bones family signed up, including me, but Dumbledore disagreed.

He said, Susan, the Ministry of Magic still needs you, the wizarding world needs you, and Zhang also needs your help.

So I stayed. "

Zhang Xiao was silent for a while: "They are also very brave."

"Okay Zhang, let's get down to business."

Susan crossed her fingers and said seriously:

"First of all, Professor Dumbledore had a serious talk with us before he died, and we have to make arrangements for the future.

So after voting and discussion, we would like to invite you to serve as the Chief Wizard of the Wizengamot."

Chief Wizard of the Wizengamot?

Zhang Xiao was stunned. He really didn't expect that this was what Dumbledore left behind.

First of all, we need to understand what the Wizengamot is. It is the highest court of judges in the wizarding world.

But in reality, it is more like the 'Conference of Wise' in British history.

It should be said that it is a combination of the court and the Parliament, because the Wizengamot can impeach the Minister of Magic.

Once two-thirds of the votes are passed, a recall can be carried out.

Dumbledore once used the Wizengamot's impeachment to intimidate Cornelius Fudge.

The Chief Wizard is the combination of the Chief Justice and the Speaker, which can be said to be a very important position.

It is no exaggeration to say that he is the second-in-command of the British Ministry of Magic.

"Dumbledore said that you will have to serve as the headmaster of Hogwarts in the future. If you serve as a minister, the work will be too busy.

I would not be able to devote my energy to it, so he suggested that I stay, at least not to let too much heavy work occupy my energy. "

Susan smiled self-deprecatingly, and Zhang Xiao understood that this was the helper Dumbledore left for him.

Just like Professor Sprout, once he gets older.

These powers will gradually be transferred to your own hands.

"The second item is about a higher level. Dumbledore has persuaded the International Confederation of Wizards to invite you to serve as the special president."

Zhang Xiao was silent for a while, then raised his eyebrows, a little surprised:

"Those old-fashioned people actually agreed to it?" How conservative and old-fashioned the wizards are can be seen from the fact that they can stick to traditions for hundreds of years without wavering.

"In fact, they were very opposed to it—" Susan shrugged, "but Dumbledore convinced them with just one sentence."

She looked at Zhang Xiao and said softly:

"Wizard. Strength is power. If you disagree, I can try to challenge you to an honorable duel."

Well, I am now the special president of the International Confederation of Wizards.

Zhang Xiao's heart was not touched. Dumbledore was not wrong. In fact, he had always been a person with very little desire for power.

It's mainly trouble. If possible, he would rather travel among mountains and seas.

"The Wizengamot has also decided to award you an Order of Merlin, First Class."

Susan Bones took out an exquisite wooden box from under the table and pushed it in front of Zhang Xiao.

"That's it, but I don't think you care."

"You guessed right—"

Zhang Xiao didn't even open the box, but looked at Susan and said softly:

"Let's get straight to the point. Should it be what you were arguing about just now?"

Susan was somewhat surprised at the sharpness of the young man in front of her. She sighed:

"Yes, the situation has changed a lot now, and the basis for the existence of the Ministry of Magic in various countries has disappeared.

Some wizards hope to establish a wizarding kingdom and gather together as a whole——"

"Establish a wizarding nation? Found a country?"

Zhang Xiao raised his eyebrows and sneered: "Have they figured out that we took them in and established a wizard kingdom?
Do you also want to allocate a piece of land to them?"

Susan remained silent, obviously Zhang Xiao's guess was correct.

"Tell them that they can either get out or stay put. These are the only two options."

"Zhang, don't worry. In fact, we don't agree with this either. This is just the clamor of a small number of wizards."

Susan waved her hand and said seriously:

"We're really thinking about how wizards can fully integrate into the Muggle community.

Dumbledore once said a wonderful idea, that is, using magic nets, magic wands and alchemy, so that magic can also be used by ordinary people. "

She took a deep breath and said, "We did the experiment and it worked! Although the Muggle only emitted the simplest fluorescent flash.

But he succeeded!"

Zhang Xiao recalled the fantasies of Nick Flamel and Dumbledore when they were chatting together.

It was a wonderful era when everyone could master magic, an era where technology and magic went hand in hand.
The Weave turns magic into a tool rather than a gift.

“So what’s the decision now?”

“The Ministries of Magic of various countries will be dissolved and merged into the International Confederation of Wizards, which will establish a brand new system to lead the integration of Muggles and wizards.

Expand the size of each school. Research the expansion and popularization of magic wands.

Mr. Zhao said he could arrange some places for us to use as offices.
He is also very interested in the expansion of magic, and said he would wait for you to have time to discuss it in detail."

"Not bad--" Zhang Xiao stood up. He was definitely interested. Just think about it and you can imagine how great a change it would bring if ordinary people could use magic and integrate it with technology.

But he was a little hesitant now.

Because once Taoism and magic are combined, it becomes the path of ancient immortals.

The question is, can the world today still support the ancient immortals?
If not, once magic becomes popular, Taoism will definitely be impacted and affected.

So he needs to think about it. Now that he is a Heavenly Master, the future of Taoism is also in his hands.

"Ms. Susan, that's it. Report any situation immediately."

Zhang Xiao stood up, nodded at her, and prepared to leave.

"and many more--"

Susan said hurriedly. Zhang Xiao turned around and found that the Minister of Magic had stood up. She walked out from behind the desk and straightened her clothes.

"Everything is a mess right now and everyone is busy, but I think I should at least tell you."

She bent down and said earnestly:

"Thanks--"

Zhang Xiao was stunned for a moment and waved his hand:

"You're welcome"

"Tianshi——"

A row of disciples stood in front of him and said respectfully.

Zhang Xiao then discovered that there were still some disciples with three-inch golden light in Longhu Mountain.

Moreover, I recognize them all. They are the candidates who took the ordination examination when I took part in it two years ago.

Recalling that somewhat unusual exam.

"So." Zhang Xiao said slowly, "These are all arranged by the old Taoist priest?"

The oldest disciple, who looked very honest, said in a low voice:
“When we were judged as failures that day, we were taken to a side hall to wait, and the old Heavenly Master came over to lecture us.

The old Taoist priest did not explain the reason, but only said that there would be great changes between heaven and earth.

We are not unqualified for this exam, but we are just waiting for an opportunity."

As he spoke, he began to cry and said:

"Today, we have discovered that the old Heavenly Master wanted to leave some seeds, so he let us retain our useful bodies."

Zhang Xiao couldn't help but put himself into the role of the old Taoist priest.

If I were in my grandfather's situation, would I be able to arrange everything using the information I know?

He thought about it for a long time, but in fact he already knew the answer.

"Tianshi——"

A disciple suddenly said.

“When the old Heavenly Master was chatting with me that day, I dared to ask him why he made such an arrangement.

The old Taoist priest laughed and said that if anything unexpected happened in the future, we would be of use.

The disciple then asked what had happened and how to resolve it.

The Heavenly Master smiled but said nothing. He only said that he believed the next Heavenly Master would be the most outstanding Heavenly Master in the Dao Sect and that he would definitely be able to solve it. "

Zhang Xiao was speechless for a long time.

After a long time, he waved and asked everyone to leave.

I came to the quiet room again, but this time.

He will try to master the power of Heaven and the Demonic Network.
