62. The Twenty-Eight Sacred Tribes

In the magical world, the strength of the Ministry of Magic is measured by an unwritten rule that involves the magic schools.

There are a total of eleven magic schools in the world, with Hogwarts being the most renowned due to its thousand-year history.

Ilvermorny is located in America, one is in Castelof County, Brazil, and the other is in Japan, known as the Magic House. 

As for China, it appears that they have not participated in the magic school rankings, but it's important to note that only eight schools are included in the rankings. 

The question arises as to where the other three schools are located. 

Most of Europe shares one or two magic schools, leaving the vast land and dense wizarding population with the need for a main wizarding school.

In terms of support for Tina's desired help from the Ministry of Magic, only France and Russia may be able to match it.

Without the mixture of extraordinary systems, one country alone could easily outweigh Tina's desired allies.

Why does Tina believe that these lesser-known wizards would dare to go against the formidable Ministry of Magic in the magical world?

This influence is only present because the magical world has always respected strength.

Among the current super wizards, there is Dumbledore in England, the imprisoned Grindelwald, and Nicolas Flamel, whose status is unknown.

At most, there's Aurelius, an ambitious man who is always prepared to rise.

Who among them has the ideas, abilities, and actions to support Tina Sebastian's plans?

Without the support of a super wizard, who can she rely on for power? The concessionaires?

It's important to note that the reason Siren is willing to be the guard of Siren City is not solely because it shares a name with Siren.

The fundamental reason is that wizards can go into the water, while sirens cannot come onto the shore.

Aurelius suspects that they cannot even complete the first step of the plan, which is to regain sovereignty over Siren City.

In his eyes, this plan is destined to fail, an idealistic idea, poorly arranged, and with unreliable allies.

Aurelius sees no reason for her success.

Aurelius does not want to be involved in this unnecessary dispute.

However, he is intrigued by the blood-cursed information that Tina Sebastian mentioned, which Siren has been studying for two hundred years.

Tina is filled with visions and hopes to persuade Aurelius to agree to her terms, but she doesn't realize that Aurelius is already contemplating how to obtain the information for free."If you work as a lobbyist, there's no need for you to come to me," Aurelius said knowingly.

The surname Dumbledore is not simple. The Phoenix family and the pure white family go deeper than just surface appearances.

Some people take the so-called sacred twenty-eight tribes seriously, while others consider it a joke.

To put it simply, this word has only been around for about ten years and is mainly used in urban legends.

There have never been twenty-eight sacred tribes. They aren't sacred and there aren't twenty-eight of them.

This term was created by a group of pure-blood wizards to differentiate themselves from other wizards, along with the theory of racial origin.

The creator of this term is Cantanclus Nott, a pure-blood wizard and supporter of the pure-blood theory. Not many people are familiar with this term today, but, surprisingly, some consider it a status symbol.

It's like a dog proudly showing off a pile of poop, saying, "Look! My shit is smelly, long, and has a beautiful point!"

The reason the Dumbledore family isn't included in the Holy Twenty-Eight Clan has nothing to do with their mixed-blood heritage. The true reason is that Dumbledore, being a human, cannot accept someone being proud of something so demeaning.

The glory of the Dumbledore family has been built by generations of outstanding and even great wizards.

To describe the Dumbledore family, one could say, "Today I take pride in being a Dumbledore," originating from "Dumbledore is proud of me."

In this era, the name Dumbledore is far more influential than any of the Holy Twenty-Eight. The Holy Twenty-Eight is the self-proclaimed title of some pure-blood wizards in the UK. The Dumbledore name has gained worldwide recognition along with Dumbledore himself and other ancestors.

Tina approached Aurelius because of his last name, Dumbledore, and nothing more.

Of course, that's the only thing she can benefit from. She also has some knowledge of Aurelius' power, but she knows she can't wield it herself.

"Mr. Dumbledore, you underestimate the power of the Dumbledore name. No one is more suited for it than you. Over fifteen Ministries of Magic have awarded the Dumbledore family with admission certificates. With this name, you can gain the favor of most ministers in the Ministry of Magic."

Aurelius stated, "Before I can assist you with the trip, I will need half of the necessary information. However, I cannot guarantee that it will happen. I can only arrange for a meeting between your group and the senior officials of the Ministry of Magic."

Tina enthusiastically accepted the offer, saying, "Okay, we have a deal! The items you requested will be delivered to you by tomorrow at the latest."

Tina was already prepared to take action. She had made all the necessary preparations for an uprising, but unfortunately, the lobbyists she had trained over the years had no impact. In this era that values bloodlines, it was challenging for Tina to find pure-blood wizards who were willing to support her cause. With time running out, she no longer had the patience or energy to train additional lobbyists.

Aurelius, the exiled Dumbledore, was an option Tina had been forced to consider. She handed over a safe house to Aurelius and his group for temporary accommodation, enticed by the generous payment.

After Tina left, Nagini asked Aurelius, "Are you going to go through with this?"

Aurelius replied with a smile, "Yes, and there is no need for payment. Two hundred years of research data can save us a significant amount of time."

Nagini spoke softly, saying, "Actually, it's okay if you don't do this. I don't want you to get into any trouble because of me."

Aurelius laughed and replied, "Trouble? I've been in trouble for a long time. I have too many lice, but it doesn't bother me." After chatting for a while, they both went to rest.

Early the next morning, Aurelius and received a genuine gesture of gratitude from Tina—a black, shiny pearl.
