Chapter 357： Elections are about to begin

Gellert Grindelwald, who went from a wanted criminal worth two hundred thousand Galleons overnight to a candidate for the next president of the International Confederation of Wizards - still the kind of loud voice.

Even Sean can only sigh that the world is so wonderful.

However, in addition to this explosive news, everyone began to care about the specific method of the Kirin election.

This ancient election method had already disappeared into the long river of history, but this time it was brought up again, and all the students were very curious about how the election method was.

The nimble Ravenclaw student went to see Professor Binns, the slow-witted ghost who spoke out about the way of the unicorn election.

Legend has it that the unicorn is a benevolent beast from the East. When each unicorn offspring is born, it means that the entire wizarding world will rise to a great leader who can lead the wizarding world.

The unicorn can see through the wizard's soul, it can see whether the wizard's soul is pure and unsullied, it is a ruler of humanity.

The unicorn election is to let the unicorn be present, and it will kneel to the person with the purest heart.

Sean's first feeling when he heard the news was absurd.

The president of the International Confederation of Wizards, representing the highest point of power in the entire wizarding world, is elected by a magical animal, and the way of election is such... such... child's play?

Yes, Sean thinks it's very childish.

This is not at all like the right way for the supreme body to transfer power, but rather akin to religion. The change of religious pope is probably decided by this kind of unclear [God's Will], and the unicorn is similar to this, but it is just a different name [The Will of the World].

Even, Sean felt that this was a statement he had already glorified.

Moreover, what is the use of this man of pure goodness being elected chairman? The International Federation of Wizards, this should be an organization that leads wizards forward. The top leader of this organization can be decisive, wise, and even unscrupulous, but it is pure goodness, no matter how you look at it, it can't match up with politicians.

Of course, Sean doesn't think pure kindness is bad. He is very happy to make friends with this kind of person, and he is happy to see that the new chairman is a kind person, but this kindness should be one of his qualities, not judge him. The only criterion for being elected chairman.

Even Hermione, a little wizard obsessed with authority, hesitated to raise her doubts.

"Shouldn't the choice of the chair be a priority of competence?"

Professor Binns said dryly in a dull tone: "This was the election method chosen by the International Federation of Wizards when it was first established, but it was later cancelled for various reasons. Now that it is brought up again, this is also a kind of inheritance."

It's not some kind of magic secret, to pass on a hammer... Sean's heart is slandered.

However, what surprised him was that other students, especially those whose original families were all wizards, did not seem to have any objection to this election method.

Sean can only attribute this to longstanding differences in values.

Walking in the corridor, several people are still discussing this election.

"Why did Mr. Grindelwald suddenly participate in this election, and the election method is so strange?" Hermione whispered.

Sean scratched his head and said that he was also very distressed. Grindelwald clearly promised himself that he would not fight Muggles again, so what's the use of him running for this position...

"Furthermore," Hermione glanced at Sean, "if it is determined that Kirin will elect the next chairman of the Federation, then Mr. Grindelwald may encounter great difficulties..."

Sean laughed: "Hermione, you are really careful with your words... More than a big difficulty, if everything goes as usual, as Professor Binns said, everything will be decided by the unicorn, then Grindelwald Mr. can't be the chairman."

Grindelwald may be able to touch many qualities that people can think of, but this pure kindness... If Grindelwald can be kind, Sean will directly eat the gate of Hogwarts Castle.

Or rather, the same is true of other candidates, Sean does not believe that they will have a pure and kind heart, especially since this is the only criterion for judging.

It's an excellent quality for friends, relatives, loved ones, etc., but when placed over the heads of politicians, it means, no pass.

Sean felt from the bottom of his heart that when the time comes, there will be no pure and kind guy who can stand in that place, even if Dumbledore can't run for election now.

Is Dumbledore positive enough? But it is impossible for the unicorn to kneel on him, which is unrealistic.

Sean even painted a picture in his mind, Kirin looked up at the election site, and finally chose to kneel in front of Dumbledore, who was not a candidate, but just came to watch.

Thinking of this, he shook his head amusingly. The person who wrote this kind of plot probably had dozens of bags hammered in his head and dozens of trolls licked his head day and night for a month.

Not even the most third-rate novelist would write that way.

...

In the east, in a forest somewhere, two paired wizards raised their wands and carefully searched the forest.

Not long after the investigators walked over, the root of a towering tree entwined with vines, the originally calm air wriggled, and several people appeared out of thin air.

It was Newt Scamander on a long vacation, and two equally old men, a man and a woman.

The old lady's brows and eyes were slender, and she could vaguely see the charm of her youth. She supported an old man with white hair and a pot belly.

The old man was amiable, and his chubby round face gave a very kind feeling.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead, panted and said, "Oh, the days of escaping in the mountains and forests are really hard enough, Queenie, you said that you will let me lose weight for the rest of my life. It seems that I succeeded a little bit today."

Queenie took out the handkerchief with some distress, and whispered, "Honey, I don't want you to suffer in such a place."

Newt turned his head apologetically and said, "Sorry, Jacob, your weight loss plan may have to go on for a few more days."

Jacob let out an optimistic laugh: "Aha- oh, sorry I laughed a little too loudly? It's alright, Newt, my God, I've been thinking about visiting the East for a long time, wonderful experience, isn't it?"

Newt smiled and looked at his old friend: "It's a pity that the way I came here was not very friendly - I was a little impulsive when I heard the news of your problem. I didn't expect it to be a pretense, and I was forced to come here in the end."

Speaking of this, Jacob showed an angry expression: "That group of liars ruined my and Queenie's old life!"

"However," he showed a puzzled expression again, "Newt, do you feel strange? The group of people who were chasing us, no, it should be those two groups of people, they seem to be hostile to each other again."

"Yes," Newt nodded. "They're also blocking each other, but we don't have time to think too much for now. Your body doesn't support the appearance of the follower anymore, and we have to find that thing quickly."

"The door key, right?" Jacob shouted. "I see. It must be another instruction from Professor Dumbledore."

Newt smiled helplessly: "Yes, Dumbledore seems to have foreseen all of this, and—"

The suitcase he had been carrying shook twice.

"Hey, little guy, don't be afraid, I won't let you fall into the wrong hands." Newt crouched down and whispered into the suitcase.

Sure enough, the suitcase trembled a little and stopped moving.

Newt continued: "Also, I always feel that Dumbledore had foreseen all of this. I saw the picture of the unicorn from Sean, and I didn't expect that I really found it..."

Jacob straightened his belly: "Oh, Professor Dumbledore seems to have always been like this--speaking of which, I'm still impressed by what happened decades ago."

He showed a nostalgic look: "I would even think that I was a Muggle chosen by heaven to help you defeat Grindelwald's evil plan-but, it seems that it will end before it begins, and Grindelwald is really being attacked. Dumbledore persuaded? God, it's hard to imagine that someone who is moody but very, um, very determined would let go of his obsession."

At this time, they did not know that Grindelwald was ready to run for the new chairman.

"The world has been changing, no one can tell, but this should be considered a good thing. It's a pity that Grindelwald was arrested again, and the world was in chaos again." Queenie whispered, looking a little bit. lost.

"Oh dear," Jacob took his wife's hand, "as long as we can be together, everything will be fine."

"Oh dear..." Queenie showed a moved look.

"Guys, although I know your relationship has always been very good, this shouldn't be the right place, let's go, this way—" Newt reluctantly interrupted your old man and woman, bringing two People go in the other direction.

...

"Can't you catch the unicorn?" In the secret base of the guards, Allison, the person in charge, asked a black-robed wizard floating in the air.

"It's very difficult. The people under Grindelwald are crazy. Our people and they are in a state of mutual restraint. That person named Scamander has found the unicorn and is currently hiding everywhere."

Allison nodded silently, and after thinking for a while, he said: "It doesn't matter, our goals are more flexible, even if we can't get a unicorn, as long as Grindelwald can't get a unicorn -- after all, Si Mr. Camander is Dumbledore's confidant, and Dumbledore is on our side anyway."

The black-robed floating wizard added: "Even, as long as the unicorn arrives in time, we just need to ensure that the unicorn will not be knelt on him by Grindelwald's hands and feet."

"Indeed... However, do you guys confirm that only one unicorn was born? I don't want Scamander to be in hiding during the election, and then Grindelwald took out another unicorn out of nowhere."

"Don't worry, we have confirmed that the only newborn unicorn is in the hands of Scamander, and no matter how powerful Grindelwald is, he can't fake such a magical animal."

"That's good, by the way, if Qilin doesn't show up on time, start the original election plan and bypass Charles Vogel, I don't trust him."

"Everything is in preparation... The chairman will be in our pocket."

...

Time goes by day by day, and the day of the election is getting closer and closer. Finally, the election day has come.

Supporters of those candidates began to march in droves towards the location of the election, Bhutan.

At this time, Sean, who was at Hogwarts, was a little confused. He actually wanted to go to Bhutan to see the scene, but he was worried that it would not be good.

However, he received a note from Dumbledore.

"Sean, my old friends are coming to the castle. Please help me meet them. At that time, you can go to Bhutan with them. Of course, remember to change your image."

Then, Sean saw the three people who emerged from the door key in the room Dumbledore said.

"Professor Scamander?" Sean looked at the three people in surprise, headed by Sean who had disappeared for a long time.

"Hey Sean, long time no see." Newt looked a little tired, but he still showed a cheerful expression and shook hands with Sean.

"Introducing the friend I mentioned to you, you should have seen him in the photos when he was young, Jacob Kowalski, this is his wife and my wife's sister, Quinn Ni Kowalski."

"Oh, hello, Mr. and Mrs. Kowalski."

Jacob very enthusiastically came up and shook hands with Sean: "Hello boy, Newt mentioned you more than once in my correspondence."

"Thank you—Professor Dumbledore said let me wait for you, and then you would take me to Bhutan."

Newt sighed. "Because the election method is with me—"

He opened his suitcase, and a small head with a long whisker, resembling a moose deer, covered with soft armour poked out.

"This is... a unicorn?! You're looking for a unicorn, professor?"

"Accurately, I was forced to find it, thanks to the photo you showed me, otherwise, the unicorn would now be in the hands of the **** or Grindelwald." Newt shook his head.

Sean looked at the unicorn in amazement. This little guy was obviously just born, and his round black pupils met Sean's eyes with curious and agile eyes.

"Hey, little guy..." Sean stretched out his hand and touched Qilin's head, the other party hesitated slightly and then came over and made a sound of enjoyment.

"As I thought, she would really like you, but I don't have time to explain too much now, we have to go to Bhutan." Newt closed the box and said quickly.

"Professor? Uh, do you really want the unicorn to hold the election?" Sean asked.

Newt shrugged: "In fact, Dumbledore didn't tell me much at all, just let me take the unicorn over there - to be honest, I think we might be blocked."

"Blocking..." Sean was stunned for a moment, then reacted, "From the saint... Dumbledore asked me to follow me to solve the saint..."

Newt nodded. "I think that's about it...but, it's your choice."

Sean hesitated for a moment, then finally sighed.

"Let's go, although I don't think I have such a big face."
