Chapter 355: Big Fish Eats Little Fish
🕑 Added 2025-09-01 02:43:13 +0000 UTC"Guardian, is this why you wanted to meet us this time?"
In Dumbledore's office, Noah and Dumbledore sat side-by-side, looking at the clear avatars displayed on the huge projection screen.
These were the Ministers of Magic from various countries!
After Noah (actually Tony) created the social software, the magical world across the globe was inevitably connected. This was a very happy and proud event for wizards in the magical world.
And as time passed, this software had already become an essential "life product" for all wizards, almost equivalent to wands, mobile phones, and computers. The Ministers of Magic from various countries were naturally users of this software. Whether for showmanship or genuinely good interaction with other wizards, they wouldn't miss such a great tool to expand their influence.
This time, Noah directly used this software and easily gathered all the Ministers of Magic.
Noah wasn't Ancient One; he naturally couldn't cast a single spell to cover the entire magical world. So, Noah could only use such "unconventional" methods.
However, the effect was quite good. Although some Ministers of Magic were initially puzzled and even complained about time differences, once Noah explained the reason for summoning them, they stopped complaining and listened obediently.
"Yes, that's roughly it."
Noah nodded, looking at the giant screen: "I apologize for disturbing your work, entertainment, or even rest time, but this matter truly requires your support. The Earth's magical world should also show its proper attitude. Here, Minister Dumbledore has agreed to send Aurors and a group of excellent wizards to fight, and Kamar-Taj will dispatch at least ten Sorcerer Supremes."
Noah's voice was calm, but there was an undeniable tone.
Although Noah knew this wasn't a major trouble, it was only natural for wizards to take action when Earth faced trouble. Regardless, an attitude had to be shown, right?
Dumbledore, of course, fully supported Noah. And he was now even proud to have a student like Noah who enrolled during his tenure as Hogwarts Headmaster.
Noah, this child Dumbledore had practically watched grow up, was now on the verge of reaching a level surpassing all Earth wizards!
Although Noah's strength was not yet sufficient, the information released by Ancient One was clearly understandable to anyone who wasn't too rigid-minded.
Noah was still very young, incredibly young, so Dumbledore believed Noah would definitely reach the level of a wizard comparable to Ancient One!
Therefore, for whatever reason, Dumbledore fully supported Noah's actions.
When Noah came to his office and stated his purpose,
Dumbledore had already expressed his stance full support for Noah.
"Of course, Guardian."
After a brief exchange, the Ministers of Magic from various countries all made their decisions.
People who reached this position naturally weren't fools.
They could basically predict Noah's future. Although the
current Sorcerer Supreme was still alive and well, it didn't mean that she didn't want to step down.
Ministers of Magic had days when they were tired of their positions, not to mention the Sorcerer Supreme, whose power and responsibilities were far heavier than those of a Minister of Magic.
They naturally knew what attitude to adopt towards Noah, this potential "Sorcerer Supreme candidate" who was likely to succeed in the future. Moreover, there was one point they deeply agreed with.
That was, wizards were the guardians of Earth. Although higher civilizations might only know of the Sorcerer Supreme, the Sorcerer Supreme was primarily used to deal with and deter high-end forces.
In the current situation, the best choice was them, the wizards. There might be casualties, but this would let the entire universe know that Earth wasn't just about the Sorcerer Supreme; Earth also had its own magical civilization!
"Guardian, since this incident happened in the United States, the American magical community should naturally go all out. We should bear the brunt of the responsibility this time."
At this moment, President of the Magical Congress of the United States spoke, and his words immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Suddenly, these old foxes seemed to smell eggs, and after a little thought, they immediately understood what this guy meant!
"President, although this happened in New York, we were the first to discover the anomaly, and we were also the first to cooperate with the Guardian."
Minister Sebastian said with a grim face: "And, this doesn't seem to be solely your magical community's business. This is about our entire global magical community. Do you think what you're doing is appropriate?"
"Exactly."
The Minister of Magic from France also spoke, but he spoke in French, clearly not intending to use English:
"This is a matter for our entire global magical community, President, such an approach is unwise."
With these two leading the discussion, the meeting quickly became lively. And their consultation speed was also very fast; in the blink of an eye, they made a decision.
That was, each country's Ministry of Magic would send at least ten wizards to participate in this matter, and they also decided to dispatch personnel based on the strength of the magical community; the stronger the magical community, the more people would be sent.
Noah looked at this scene somewhat confused, while Dumbledore maintained a serene smile.
Noah truly didn't quite understand why this matter proceeded so smoothly.
Noah knew that these old foxes agreeing to his approach involved a suspicion of gaining goodwill for their respective Ministries of Magic.
What confused Noah, however, was that the German Ministry of Magic, French Ministry of Magic, and American Ministry of Magic, which had seemed somewhat contentious earlier, seemed to have already started cooperating and implicitly led this discussion.
"Does it feel strange?"
When all discussions were over, the Ministers of Magic from various countries were about to prepare themselves, and at this moment, Dumbledore suddenly smiled and looked at Noah.
"Yes." Noah nodded honestly: "It feels a bit subtle. Whether it's Minister Sebastian, President, or that French Minister of Magic, they all made me feel..."
"A bit inexplicable?" Dumbledore smiled and shook his head: "They are all old foxes, and they do what they do for their own purposes and ideas."
Noah nodded; he wouldn't doubt that.
It was just that these people changed too quickly. From the beginning, President intended to monopolize...
No, Noah suddenly realized, this guy wouldn't monopolize the benefits, but rather rally allies!
It was clear that Sebastian, the old German man, and the French Minister of Magic reacted quickly and directly cooperated with President to complete this allocation.
From the results of this, it could be seen that the powerful magical communities accounted for the vast majority of the dispatched wizards, while the small and medium-sized magical communities were severely suppressed.
Although such a dispatch would result in wizard casualties, don't forget Noah's current "absolute upper hand" position.
If enough goodwill was left with him, it wouldn't just be helping themselves, but also helping their own magical community.
The British magical community was Noah's hometown, and given its inherent strength, the ministers of other magical communities would naturally think of other ways.
If they couldn't restrict him, they would win him over.
Not only would they win him over, but they would also win over other powerful magical communities together, so those who would be exploited would naturally be the magical communities of small and medium-sized countries.
"What a bunch of old foxes."
Noah picked up the allocation list they had drafted earlier and glanced at it. Sure enough, it was as he had thought: there were only four or five powerful magical communities, but they accounted for over 80% of the dispatched personnel.
Only a mere less than 20% was distributed to the magical communities of small and medium-sized countries.
And these magical communities combined were almost a hundred, so one could imagine how frustrated these magical communities must have been.
However, Noah wouldn't meddle in these matters. Noah felt that even if Ancient One came, she wouldn't interfere, because Kamar-Taj never interfered in the internal affairs of the magical world.
"Have you figured it out?" Dumbledore looked at Noah picking up the allocation list and knew that Noah had probably already realized these things.
"I've figured it out." Noah nodded, then casually put the list down: "I never thought you guys would be so interesting."
"Standing in our position, everyone actually becomes the same."
Dumbledore sighed: "We no longer represent ourselves personally, but rather we represent the magical community we belong to. To protect the interests of our own magical community, we must make certain choices."
"Big fish eats little fish, I understand." Noah shook his head: "Don't worry, I understood this principle long ago."
Big fish eating little fish happens everywhere, and this matter itself isn't particularly novel.
To secure one's position and protect one's interests, one not only needs strong power but also needs to be good at utilizing various means.
Wizards are relatively pure. The struggles in the ordinary world are far more brutal than those in the wizarding world.
Just look at Fury; hasn't this guy literally transformed from a joker into a deadpan now?
Strength is the foundation of standing tall. If you are strong yourself, others probably won't easily provoke you.
This time, the American Ministry of Magic, the German Ministry of Magic, and the French Ministry of Magic took the lead in allocating the dispatch list, but didn't the British Ministry of Magic and the magical ministry from the East receive the same treatment?
Smiling slightly, Noah felt there was no need for him to think about these things. Anyway, Noah wouldn't go to work at the Ministry of Magic.
Moreover, Noah had already gotten what he wanted this time, so Noah decided to go back.
"By the way, Noah, how will we get there then?" Just as Noah was about to leave, Dumbledore suddenly asked.
"Gather first." Noah paused, then smiled faintly: "When the time comes, I'll open the door for you."
