John asked Percy to secure Penello's position on the Muggle Mediation Committee, and now the importance of this position was highlighted.
As the only place outside the Ministry of Magic that communicates and mediates with Muggles, it is of course Penello's turn to come forward when faced with such a problem.
This made Penelope a little nervous. She was now the equivalent of a diplomat from the wizarding world to the Muggle world.
She is a bridge between the two worlds. She needs to be careful in her words and deeds. If she is not careful, she will end up in a situation where Muggles and wizards will not please each other.
Percy also understood the pressure of this matter. He worried about John: "This pressure is too great. I'm worried that she won't be able to bear it."
"There is no better candidate than Penello," John shook his head and said, "She is a mixed race, with the blood of wizards and Muggles, so she is the most suitable person."
"She is a smart girl from Ravenclaw, don't underestimate her intelligence."
It turns out that John has a better eye for people than Voldemort.
Penelope appears at the Muggle government, where she puts on a suit from the Muggle world.
The person who handed over to her was the Prime Minister's cronies.
And in the same room, another person is present here in a private capacity.
He is a representative of America.
"So, this is your so-called explanation?" The American representative glanced at Penello and said contemptuously, "A slightly pretty woman, Mr. Monday."
The man known as Mr. Monday smiled slightly, "I think you may not know much about this..."
Monday paused slightly and said, "Representative of the Ministry of Magic, Miss Penelope Crevat."
"Ministry of Magic?" The American representative raised his eyes and looked at Penello. He shook his head and said, "Your lies are getting worse and worse."
"What do you want this woman to tell me?" the American representative sneered, "Was it ridiculous magic that killed the people on that warship?"
"I just don't want there to be any misunderstanding between us, Mr. Mike." Monday smiled at Penello, "Please sit down, Miss Crevat."
Penello could feel the contempt for him from the American representative in front of him.
"The fact is," Mr. Mike sat upright, "the American ship Vengeance Banshee was involved in an accident, and the 213 soldiers and a rear admiral on board were massacred."
His attitude towards pursuing the attack on the Vengeful Banshee in the Atlantic made Monday's smile look dangerous.
"Really?" Monday raised his glasses with his fingers and narrowed his eyes and said, "Then how do you explain that a warship that was supposed to retire in North America crossed the ocean to Europe and appeared in British waters? "
Mr. Mike spread his hands and said, "Ocean currents pushed the Vengeful Banshee, which had problems with its power system, into your country's waters. For unknown reasons, a brutal massacre occurred on the Vengeful Banshee."
The attitude of the American representative was clear. The appearance of the Vengeful Banshee in the UK was not caused by the United States.
Instead, he had an excuse for it.
Causes of damage to the power system.
Monday's smile was a bit unbearable. Even though the United States is now a powerful country, Britain is not a vegetarian.
The United States advocates holding the soldiers responsible for their deaths and sending the Vengeful Banshee back to the United States.
Monday wanted to attack, but after he glanced at Penello, he smiled and said, "It seems we need the intervention of a third person."
He said to Penello: "Please, Miss Crevat."
It's time for the Ministry of Magic to step in.
Mr. Mike said contemptuously: "Please, Monday, this meeting will not be recorded, you don't have to use such clumsy means, a girl, a little girl?"
"First of all," Penello spoke, she said without being humble or condescending, "I am not a little girl. I am 22 years old, so I am not a little girl."
Mr. Mike crossed his arms and looked at Penello teasingly.
Classic American macho arrogance.
"Second, what I represent is with
You are equal members of the Ministry of Magic, and I deal with you, so please treat me with respect. "
"Third..." Penello threw a stack of documents in her hand into the air, her expression firm, "Magic is not ridiculous."
Papers of documents were flying in the conference room without a fourth person, forming a wall suspended in the air.
This is a scene more shocking than any magic trick.
Penello stared at the man who stood up in shock. She flicked her right hand and the wand appeared in her hand.
The wand was waved and the paper flew towards Mr. Mike.
Just before they hit each other, the paper stopped.
"This is information obtained by the Ministry of Magic from a reef in the Atlantic Ocean, and it involves a secret transaction." Penello said word by word, "I hope you can take a closer look, now."
The Muggle representative was still a little intimidated by the experience of using magic.
Even Monday, who knew a little bit about the situation, couldn't help but hold on to his glasses.
The American representatives finally did not dare to look down upon this Ravenclaw witch who graduated from Hogwarts, and they took a closer look.
Plot of stolen weapons.
trade.
Change of plans...
Mr. Mike was dumbfounded by each shocking inside story, and his face turned bad.
"Why should I believe you?" Mr. Mike snorted and said, "Grindelwald? Who is that?"
"Someone I've never heard of."
"You have to trust me, us," Penello said seriously, "because you can't afford to gamble."
"These things will cause instability in your country," Penello asked. "For someone who basically betrayed the country, this is not a wise choice."
"Or..." Penello didn't look like a witch at all at this moment, more like a Muggle diplomat. A glint flashed in her eyes, "You want to go to war with Britain?"
This is not a good deal.
Britain is not a country invaded by washing powder, they also have human purifiers.
There is no way to start a direct war with such a behemoth.
Mr. Mike's mission is just to get more benefits here.
Just like their country, they advocate interests.
No one from the president to the homeless likes to do things that cost money.
The release of this information makes the United States' excuse untenable.
And it harms more than one country.
This is a major event for several countries.
but!
Mr. Mike's expression is full of danger. He can't control Britain, and he can't take action against the Ministry of Magic?
"Then I can understand that this is caused by you?" Mr. Mike pointed the finger at the Ministry of Magic and sneered, "A group of self-proclaimed wizards, I suspect that it was you who attacked the American soldiers on the Vengeful Banshee."
"Are you serious?" Penello couldn't sit still. She was shocked by the other party's shamelessness.
"At the negotiating table, there are no jokes," Mr. Mike said.
"If it weren't for us, you would still be kept in the dark, waiting for the plan to change the day." Penello quickly calmed down, "I hope this is an equal exchange, otherwise we will take the decision to refuse contact. .”
"The decision to refuse contact?" Mr. Mike said amusedly, "I don't think you have anything to communicate with us."
"Really?" Penello looked at Monday and said, "I think Mr. Mike is not interested in magic energy."
Monday also said: "That's a shame."
"Wait, what is magic energy?" Mr. Mike keenly captured this unfamiliar word.
Penello took out a box the size of a Rubik's Cube and she opened it.
Purple light radiated from inside.
Penello glanced at the representatives of the two countries and said calmly: "We are looking for cooperative partners, sincere partners."
"This is a magical world
A kind of energy crystal, which contains huge energy. "
She reached out and took out the magic crystal, looked at the pair of doubtful eyes, and said in a seductive voice, "Stable and gentle."
The threat of Grindelwald aside.
The emergence of the magic crystal changed the direction of this negotiation.
A completely new energy source, which meant that the first negotiations after formal contact with Muggles were successful.
The greed of the American representatives has already overflowed from his eyes.
Especially this small one, the energy it can provide is completely beyond what Muggle technology can provide of the same size.
Monday and Mr. Mike were both interested in it.
The American secret laboratory in London began operations that day.
They analyzed the small crystal.
A surprising conclusion emerges.
That thing is indeed, as Penello said, an energy source similar to nuclear energy but more stable.
And this energy can be called a universal energy.
It can generate electricity and can be used for conversion of various required energy sources.
It can be said that as long as you have it, you can replace various energy sources.
This is another oil.
Purple gold.
At this moment, the United States is bound to win the magic crystal.
Death of soldiers and generals?
That's no longer a problem.
A dispute is resolved and a conspiracy is brewing.
When Penello returned to the Ministry of Magic, she had to be careful in her game, but it made Percy feel bad.
"I don't understand, why expose the magic crystal?" Percy met John. He didn't understand John's initiative to expose the magic crystal.
Moreover, the magic crystal has a flaw.
There needs to be magic to channel the magic.
And Penello didn't tell Muggles at all about this.
John smiled and said meaningfully: "I said, we need a war to prove the magic world."
"I want justice to stand in the magical world."
"Then the war must be started by Muggles."
"That greedy Muggle."
