Chapter 92 Battle For Medals
While Levin was brazenly trying out his new wilderness transformation in the village of Saint Catchpol,
At the Ministry of Magic, a debate was going on about him.
"This is a first-class medal, Ms. Proudmoore. This is the highest honor that Sir Merlin can award! Have we ever had such a precedent? Disputes caused by magical animals not knowing how to hide their bodies and threatening Muggles. We have seen many, but is it too exaggerated to reward the wizard involved with the Order of Merlin, First Class?"
The chairman of the Merlin Order of Merlin Medal Awards Committee at the Wizengamot Conference raised this issue when communicating with the applicant Jaina.
"Of course there are examples, and there are quite a few."
Jaina was well prepared and spoke unhurriedly.
She has always had this character to do her best when she wants to do something. For this reason, she has already found a circle in advance.
"The most typical one is the 'Ilfracombe Incident', which is also a major event in the history of the Ministry of Magic."
"It happened in 1932. At that time, a naughty common Welsh green dragon attacked a group of sunbathers in Ilfracombe, Devon, England. The Tok family who were traveling there prevented the casualties from happening. And the largest amnesia spell of the 20th century was used on the residents there."
"Subsequently, their whole family was awarded the Order of Merlin, First Class, and the 15th recipient was the then Minister of Magic, Hector Foley."
"Twenty-five years after this incident happened, Norwell Tonk was also awarded a first-class medal, but he did not save as many people as the Tok family. He was saved from the claws of a manticore and a manticore. Save a Muggle child and die for it."
"If you want, I can list more relevant examples. It has always been our tradition to award medals to wizards who save Muggles from magical creatures, isn't it?"
“But that’s a first-level medal, not a second-level medal, not a third-level medal...
The chairman of the awards committee was still a little reluctant, and even Cornelius Fudge, the Minister of Magic beside him, had some doubts.
"But that's a chimera!"
Jaina had already anticipated this situation, so she came up with a second reason,
"I don't need to say more about the danger of this kind of magical beast. If the Chimera beast is allowed to run rampant on the beach, I can't imagine how many Muggles will die and how much trouble will be caused - it's even possible. Resulting in the Auror's sacrifice."
After hearing this, Fudge nodded repeatedly,
According to Tonks' report, Levin did not take the initiative to hunt the Chimera, nor did the smugglers have to release the beast because of his aggressiveness.
According to the files of the Ministry of Magic, Levin and Ciri were just going for a walk on the beach. They happened to encounter a crazy dark wizard trying to attack Muggles with an artifact creature, and they had to take action.
Jaina continued: "In addition, we all know that chimaeras are known in the magic world as being powerful and difficult to kill. The last wizard who killed chimaeras was the unlucky guy in ancient Greece. After killing the Chimaera, he was exhausted from the long battle and fell off his Pegasus to his death——This is basically the same as dying together.”
"But Levin Green is different. He killed the Chimaera himself without getting hurt. This is something that no wizard has been able to do for thousands of years."
"The most important thing is that he belongs to the magical world of Yin Kingdom and has a close relationship with Tonks, the new Auror who made a big splash last year."
After hearing this, Cornelius Fudge nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, killing the Chimera is of great significance. From this point of view, it is fair to award a first-class medal. If you are really afraid of indiscriminate awards, you are completely Can he award his partner with a second-level medal?"
Seeing this scene, Jaina was not surprised.
As for the Minister of Magic, she had already figured out the details of him.
She knew very well that in the eyes of the minister, it didn't matter whether her words were justified or not.
The important thing is the extraordinary meaning behind this matter, and Levin is barely half of his own people.
This would be a great benefit to the Ministry's publicity efforts.
A young wizard from the Yin Kingdom single-handedly killed the Chimera, completing a feat that countless wizards had not accomplished for thousands of years, and he was trained by the Ministry of Magic of the Yin Kingdom.
How nice does this sound to say? How shameless is it?
Since there was precedent and the minister's endorsement, the Chairman of the Awards Committee finally agreed to propose in the Awards Committee "About awarding Sir Levin Greenmeling, First Class Medal"
A discussion on the issue of "Awarding Cirilla Wrenland the Order of Merlin, Second Class".
In the awards committee, usually when an issue is raised, it means it is passed.
This is just a matter of going through one more formality in the remaining time.
Jaina told Tonks the news, and the Tonks family were happy for Levin.
Later, the Tonks invited Levin, Ciri and Hermione to visit their home, and enthusiastically took them to buy dresses for the award ceremony.
If Levin hadn't repeatedly said that he was rich, they would have even paid for the dress.
In the eyes of this good couple, since there are no elders in Levin and Ciri's family, they have the obligation to guide these two poor children on how to deal with the upper-class society of wizard society.
In this regard, the young lady from the Black family, Anda Tonks, has the most say.
The day when the awards will be announced is coming soon,
The Tonks family personally led the three Levins to apparate to the Ministry of Magic.
However, after the Apparition, several people did not appear in the Ministry of Magic, but instead appeared on a desolate side street.
There were only a few shabby-looking offices, a bistro, and a dump truck that was almost overflowing.
It's hard to believe that the entrance to the Ministry of Magic is actually here.
"We are here, kids. Don't worry, this is actually near Westminster Avenue in London. The entrance is placed here because it is more hidden and difficult to be discovered by Muggles."
Mrs. Tonks introduced the three little wizards
"In fact, our Ministry of Magic is located just downstairs from Whitehall, the center of the British Muggle government."
"Normally, we can enter the Ministry of Magic through the Floo Network."
Tonks walked in front, leading the way.
"But today we are here to attend the ceremony, so we have to go through the visitor entrance...that's right here."
She was pointing at an old red phone booth with a few pieces of glass missing and a wall behind it that had been painted over.
The phone court looks small, but a very clever traceless extension spell has been cast inside, and the internal area can always accommodate the 320 people who enter.
Tonks stood by the phone, typing in the numbers as she recalled.
As the dial whirred back to its original position, a woman's cold voice sounded in the phone booth, but the voice did not come from the phone. It was loud and clear, as if an invisible woman was standing there. around them.
"Welcome to the Ministry of Magic, please state your name and shield."
"We are here to attend the award ceremony, six of us in total," Tonks replied towards the empty glass, "Nymphadora Tonks and two of her family members are here to accept the award. The winner presenting the award, and a companion observing the ceremony.”
"Thank you," the cold female voice said, "Guest, please pick up the badge and pin it in front of your clothes."
Then, a silver medal slipped out of the metal chute used to withdraw coins from a normal phone booth and fell to King Tonks.
The female Auror pinned it to her chest.
Then the female voice said again:
"Visitors of the Ministry of Magic, you are required to be checked and register your wand at the security desk. The security desk is located at the end of the main hall.
The floor of the phone booth suddenly trembled and they sank slowly into the ground, like a Muggle elevator.
Slowly, Levin could see nothing and could only hear the dull grinding noise of the phone booth as it descended through the ground.
When the bright light hit Levin's eyes, they stopped falling.
"The Ministry of Magic hopes you have a good day," the female voice said.
The phone booth door popped open and everyone filed out.
Then, the three Xiaogang net masters saw the glorious Ministry of Magic for the first time. .
