The core doctrine of the Chain Order Sect is that magic is not a privilege, but an inherent parameter of the universe; technology is not blasphemy, but a tool for interpreting parameters.
Erich spoke in a particularly peaceful tone, vividly criticizing the xenophobia of Pure-blood Wizard and the Muggle's denial of the mystical, advocating for active intervention and integration, and regarding the ultimate goal of the Succession Society as a sacred mission.
Vincent looked at Viktor beside him with a questioning gaze, while Victor shrugged, indicating that he was used to the situation.
Well, no wonder the Middle East Branch is hidden among Muggle religions. It turns out Erich is a professional in this field. Grindelwald being called a prophet must be related to him.
"The Chain Order Sect is the perfect embodiment of the religious ideals of the Succession Society. We regard breaking down the barriers between wizards and Muggle as a sacred and inevitable sequential process. We will also guide the world toward a completely new future path that is different from war or the hidden one."
Erich's mood wasn't high, but his peaceful tone was exhilarating.
No wonder he's a professional; he was born to do this.
Vincent always felt that there was something strange about the way he looked at him, and the faint smile on his lips was also very strange.
But in any case, there are no major problems with infiltration in the Middle East region; let magic religion be magic religion.
The infiltration plan is progressing smoothly; the next step is the second thing.
Vincent waved to shut down the projection screen. "Some time ago, I reached an agreement with the Britain Muggle government that we will work with countries around the world to achieve controlled nuclear fusion."
"What fusion?"
"Controlled nuclear fusion, you can think of it as an artificial sun."
"Oh." Amina and Erich responded without understanding, while Viktor and Sheng Bai frowned.
Vincent could see their concerns. "The focus of this project is to solve existing technological problems through magic. Even if it fails, Muggle will no longer be as resistant to magic as before."
Sheng Bai tapped the glass tabletop lightly with his finger. "It's too dangerous, Muggle —especially Muggle scientists, who will rack their brains trying to unravel the secrets of magic."
If it were a milder approach, it would be fine; it would just be assisting with research or something.
If an ambitious individual seeks to achieve evil goals through magic, it could eventually escalate into a modern-day witch hunt.
Vincent had considered this possibility beforehand, and he had already come up with a solution. "We cannot stop Muggle Studies magic, but we can make magic have a positive impact."
"What should we do?"
"Conquering cancer."
This time, only Amina responded with a bewildered "Oh."
The king of all diseases in the Muggle world is nothing compared to the Wizarding World. Most of the incurable diseases in the Wizarding World are related to Dark Magic or curses. Once you are accidentally afflicted, there is no other way but to wait for death.
"And AIDS."
Erich was somewhat agitated. "Cancer, AIDS... Lord Wayne, you are the undisputed Messiah, the Chosen One in the hearts of Muggle!"
Vincent's lips twitched violently. "Not only in the energy and medical fields, magic can also bring huge changes to the Muggle world in areas such as environmental protection, sports, entertainment, and transportation."
When magic touches every aspect of life, even the most cunning and ambitious person has to think twice.
Sheng Bai still seemed hesitant, "What if one day, technology successfully deciphers the secrets of magic..."
Vincent waved his hand to indicate that he didn't need to worry, "On that day, wizards and Muggle will truly coexist peacefully."
"And—" Vincent pointed to himself, then to the four branch leaders, "If Muggle can crack our magic, why can't we crack their technology?"
Wayne Enterprises' products are popular because of "innovation," which is a secondary innovation based on existing Muggle technology, combined with magic and Alchemy.
Sheng Bai sighed softly, "Unfortunately, very few wizards realize this."
Hidden for centuries, the wizards' minds are still largely stuck in the medieval era when Muggle persecuted wizards.
Helping each other? That sounds nice, but all they want is to "steal" magic.
This ignorant and backward thinking prevented wizards from venturing out of the dark alleys, Vincent's desire to reveal the existence of magic was an attempt to find a breakthrough.
Now that it's no longer a secret, it's time to come out and get to know the world properly.
"One last thing." Vincent's expression suddenly turned very serious. "Whether it's controlled nuclear fusion or conquering terminal diseases, these projects cannot be accomplished by me alone."
He rested his hands on the glass tabletop, leaned forward slightly, and glanced at each of the four people. "Each project requires certain relevant knowledge, so you need to find a way to get your people to learn the relevant knowledge."
All four of them looked troubled.
Should wizards be taught Muggle knowledge?
Moreover, it's not a simple math problem like 1 plus 1 equals what; it's knowledge from nuclear energy, medicine, industry, agriculture, and other fields that I've never encountered before and can't even understand.
In the vast Wizarding World, perhaps only Muggle-born wizard can truly understand it.
But understanding is one thing; whether one can actually learn it depends on individual talent.
Vincent watched them quietly, and soon, Viktor reluctantly agreed first.
The North America branch is mostly staffed by vampires who have lived for hundreds of years. Their ability to navigate Wall Street, the global financial center, means they can learn all sorts of Muggle professional knowledge.
Next up is Sheng Bai. The Asia Wizarding World is already used to intensification, this is just a little more intense, it's not like they're aiming for the Nobel Prize.
"Ahem—" Erich coughed awkwardly, "Well, our Middle East Branch has the Chain Order Sect..."
Vincent's gaze was intense, as if it could burn away any obstacle.
Erich eventually agreed.
Only Amina remained. Although she didn't know much about Muggle, she could guess how difficult it was from the reactions of the three people before her.
The largest black market in the Wizarding World has everything, so it must contain people with extremely high learning talent.
However, Vincent completely ignored her, saying, "I don't care about the process, I only care about the result."
He slowly straightened up. "I don't know exactly how long those old men in the Muggle Council will discuss this, but I hope that by the time the project is officially approved, we will be fully prepared."
His tone left no room for refusal, displaying an extraordinary charisma unlike anything he had ever shown before.
The four men solemnly agreed, Vincent turned and left with a smile on his face.
After he left, the four looked at each other.
Viktor smiled slyly, "Muggle have a lot of specialized knowledge. To avoid repetition, why don't we discuss this first?"
Erich rolled his eyes without hesitation. "You old devil, just say you want something simple and easy to learn. Why beat around the bush?"
Amina glared back fiercely, "You think I don't know anything?"
Sheng Bai calmly stood in the middle and said, "To be fair, let's draw lots."
"Who wants to draw lots with you!" The three of them glared at him with disdain.
This guy knows fortune telling and feng shui, fair? Pshaw!
