"Lastly, and most importantly, Lady Ravenclaw herself is going to fight against the Grim Reaper. The more powerful she is, the more likely we'll be able to escape." Owen looked at the audience solemnly. "So, in addition to the resources, every country and every creature should provide faith to the Goddess so that she can fight against the Grim Reaper. This requires us to work hard. Every country should open up their faith and take the initiative to build temples to worship the Goddess Ravenclaw. We should call on the people to sincerely believe in the Goddess. After all, this is also to save our own lives …" Owen's tone was matter-of-fact as if this was not a condition. "I know that many countries have their own traditions, but in this case, I think we should put some of those traditions aside … Also, the Goddess Ravenclaw is not monotheistic, just like the centaurs on the floating city. Everyone can still maintain their traditional culture and faith on the other side … We have to save ourselves first …" Owen's tone was matter-of-fact as if this was not a condition.
Owen's condition, which was not a condition, was actually easier to accept than asking people to join the alliance.
Lunn's quill was scribbling notes on the parchment. He understood the meaning behind his father's action of mobilizing all the countries and asking them to build a defense zone in the Logic Mountains that was not really needed. He also wanted them to open up their faith in Ravenclaw to fight against the Grim Reaper in their own countries.
In fact, if only Allen and Ravenclaw went into the Underworld to fight against the Grim Reaper, and the other countries did not contribute and reaped the benefits, then their own history books would not record this part of history. This was because they had accepted the help and salvation of others. It was purely accepting the kindness of others.
More likely, they would downplay this part of history and influence, trying to start denying the achievements of the Magic Empire and Allen. Just like when Dumbledore defeated Grindelwald in a one-on-one duel and saved the world, his reputation was questioned because people did not want to admit that they were indebted to others. In the end, he became a muddle-headed crazy old man.
Apart from Luna, who needed faith to improve her strength, the Rocky Mountains did not really need to build a defensive line. But now, these countries had contributed to the battle in addition to providing faith, so they could be considered to have contributed to saving the Magic World this time.
Therefore, after these things went smoothly, in order to prove their merits, these countries would not only acknowledge this event in the history books, but would also try to portray Allen and the others as greater, so that they could share more of the credit. When there were enough countries involved, and they could not rely on words to erase the merits of Allen and Ravenclaw who went directly to the underworld, this became the only choice.
The huge domed parliament hall on the floating city had also become the focus of the world's media. After all, it was related to the safety of everyone and the survival of all living things. Therefore, there were countless media outlets from various countries waiting here every day, hoping to get first-hand news and information.
In the end, the general outcome of the meeting of the International Union of Wizards and Wizards was discussed. The heated news was reported to all wizards and living things all over the world in different languages.
People also got the news they wanted to know the most — Allen Harris, the uncrowned emperor of the Magic Empire, was going to enter the underworld and fight against Death with Ravenclaw to stop the end of the world.
After that, things started to go according to the content of the meeting. The Hogwarts, which had changed from a kingdom to a Magic Empire, had completely annexed the United States and Germany and included them in their own territory. This had been publicly acknowledged by the member states of a new alliance, the New Empire Alliance.
With the floating ships coming and going, the floating city, compared to the depressed magic world of the United States and Germany, was unbelievably prosperous when the end of the world was approaching. The wizards of the United States and Germany who were not willing to emigrate were now surprised by the development and prosperity of the floating city. Thinking that they would be protected by Ravenclaw from now on and would not have to face the threat of Death, it was easier for them to accept the fact that their countries were annexed by the Magic Empire. They settled down on the floating city and accepted their new identities.
After the people of the United States and Germany were settled on the floating city, the floating city began to discuss the acceptance plan with the member states of the New Empire Alliance.
In fact, except for a few countries who did not join the New Empire Alliance because they could not accept a foreign god due to traditional ties, the rest were very cooperative and could not wait to reach a corresponding agreement.
They accepted the conditions of supplies and funding without any hesitation. For them, many countries considered that if the day of Death's invasion and the end of the world really came, it would be a waste to leave these supplies on the ground. It was better to move as much as possible to the floating city in exchange for more places for their people to live in the floating city.
Since no one could be sure of the timing of Death's possible expansion of the Underworld or attack, and the quicker they moved to the floating city, the safer it would be. That was why the Ministry of Magic of each nation was efficient in accepting the Empire's International Magical Cooperation Department, a departure from their usual procrastination. The only problem was the competition for a place to settle on the floating city, with everyone basically hoping to fight for a place closer to the floating city's temple area.
Before the discussion was over, the members of the New Empire Alliance began to announce some plans to their people in order to stabilize the economic and social order of their country. The news that the floating city would gradually accept other countries also spread.
In fact, for the wizards who did not have much experience in governing these things, there were many things that the Magic Empire and the Ministry of Magic of these member states could not foresee in advance. The long period of stability and lack of change made the Hogwarts, who had the support of the new laws, unable to predict what might happen. Allen, Luna, and even Grindelwald, who was busy leading people to the Rocky Mountains to build defense facilities, obviously would not put their energy on such trivial matters.
Due to the fact that the admission plan that was announced was very conservative, and the plan was to enter in batches gradually, even though most people's lives were not directly threatened by the underworld. However, due to the fear of death and the concern for the safety of their family and friends, such an admission plan had caused the adepts to become extremely nervous.
Many of them tried to be the first batch of wizards to move to the floating city, or racked their brains to achieve the conditions to move their families to the front of the list. Inevitably, some physical assets began to depreciate, and people urgently sold their various assets in an attempt to get more cash in exchange for safer opportunities.
Under such circumstances, Owen had to order the progress of the floating city's expansion to be announced on the media every day, and cooperate with the member states to refute the rumors, explaining that the situation had not deteriorated to a serious extent. In the end, Owen even had to give a written promise that if things changed, there would be immediate implementation of the emergency plan.
This calmed the emotions of more adepts. Those who didn't see their families' names on the list stopped protesting or rioting. The social riots caused by smashing, looting, and vindictive venting were also alleviated, and the plan of the Empire Alliance began to stumble on the right track.
