Free Island,

Located in New York Harbour, it is a very small island.

Although the island is small, it is extremely famous.

How famous?

There is a Far East wizard - Lu. Everything I said. Xun Geer, so he wrote a poem to praise it:

Statue of Liberty Island, you and me under the Statue, play games in front of the Statue, and make transactions after the Statue.

That's right, the most famous one on Liberty Island is the bronze artistic statue of the Guangxu period of the late Qing Dynasty - the Statue of Liberty.

It was designed by French sculptor Frederick August Bartol and then presented to the United States to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the War of Independence.

Tonight, Liberty Island welcomed many tourists, and the Muggle security personnel on the island were "sick" and asked for leave.

This group of tourists also includes William.

After receiving information from Piquelina, he immediately threw away the other party and brought Hermione here.

If you ask a little, you will know that there will be a rally tonight.

The meeting place is inside the Statue of Liberty.

Walking among the huge crowd, William and Hermione were not eye-catching.

The most eye-catching are the wizards wearing logo clothes.

Their clothes were printed not slogans or badges, but a strange pattern:

Amid the dazzling yellow and red flames, a pair of hands clutched a broken wand.

——The logo of the Salem Association.

In the history of American magic, the Salem organization has appeared many times.

The earliest one can be traced back to the seventeenth century.

The purges at that time, joined forces with the Puritans, concocted the infamous Salem witch trial case.

This is a trial incident involving witchcraft activists, resulting in a total of 20 executions, most of whom were girls.

It is precisely because of this incident that the establishment of the American Magic France Association.

The purges also united to establish the so-called Salem Association and confronted the Magic France Association.

This time span is more than a century.

During this period, there were also the War of Independence and Civil War, which were full of the shadow of wizard confrontation.

As the purges were severely damaged and moved underground, the original Salem Association completely disappeared.

The second Salem appeared in the early twentieth century.

The first leader was Mary Lou Barrebone, the descendants of the purge and extremist.

Originally, this was an incredible organization, and even the American Magic and French Association didn't want to pay attention to it.

But among the orphans adopted by Barry Borne, there is a child named Claydens... and unexpectedly, a silent person.

After Grindelwald found him, the war in New York also caused, which almost exposed the entire American magic society.

Later, with Claydens' death and Grindelwald's defeat, Second Salem declared defeat.

And before the Millennium, the organization rekindled its revival, with the so-called Third Salem appearing.

Over the past year, they have been rallied continuously and striving to expand their influence.

William and Hermione followed the stairs and entered the interior of the Statue of Liberty.

The Statue of Liberty could have been visited, but now it has been expanded by the traceless stretching spell, enough to accommodate more wizards.

The two men walked along the narrow stairs and entered a circular room, with a shocking scene in front of them.

Hundreds of men and women gathered together, and the atmosphere was filled with people and anxious.

Some wizards were nervous but curious, while others were very excited.

There is nothing in the hall and there is no seating—there is only a podium beside the opposite wall.

People were whispering, and the sounds gathered together and buzzed, revealing dullness and noise.

Finally, the crowd began to cheer.

A sixteen-year-old man walked onto the podium, and the wizards were ecstatic and shouted.

William recognized the man at a glance - sixteen-year-old Tom Riddle.

Compared to four years ago, Tom has no change.

Because he was resurrected from the Horcrux, he could not grow up, and his strength and appearance were completely frozen.

But his ability to bewitch people's hearts is becoming more and more skillful.

I saw Tom Riddle standing on the podium, like a demagogue and a rock star, and the audience's fanaticism gradually escalated.

"Good evening, friends. My name is Osiris." His soft voice echoed in the room.

Tom did not use his real name, but replaced it with the name of Osiris, the Pluto in Egyptian mythology.

He really treated himself as a god of death like he did in the Quidditch World Cup two years ago.

Tom's voice was not too slow, without any sense of oppression, and more like he was chatting with everyone.

"Tonight, everyone will gather together so that I can talk to you about my thoughts in such a place."

Some people applauded, and the most audience was the witch.

Obviously, Tom picked up his most powerful weapon again - relying on his face to make a living.

Tom pressed his hands and said loudly:

"But I don't want to talk about the Secret Law today; I don't want to talk about the dark history of the Demon French Society; I don't want to criticize the conservative and corruption of the International Wizards' Federation...

I just want to talk about Muggles and their changes.”

No one spoke, but the atmosphere became more and more lively.

Tom looked around and walked slowly on the podium:

"Understanding the changes in Muggles requires understanding the historical context, which is crucial at any time, and tonight is no exception."

He snapped his fingers, and some images began to be projected on the walls in the room, as if they were playing movies.

"The early Muggles created a complex mythological system to explain things that cannot be understood."

"In Muggle terms, it is called the 'God of Vacancy'."

Tom looked at everyone and explained:

"It means that when the ancients knew the world around them, if there were any places they did not understand or vacancies in their understanding, they would fill it with God."

"And countless powerful wizards have become the gods in the mouth of Muggles." Tom said:

“However, over the past few hundred years, Muggle scientific knowledge has changed with each passing day.”

At this moment, another set of pictures appeared in the sky, full of various mathematical and technical symbols.

"Muggles' understanding of the world is getting deeper and deeper, and the gap in understanding gradually disappears. At the same time, they believe in less and less Gods.

Thus, Jesus, who was able to resurrect from the dead, fell from the altar;

Merlin becomes a magician clown, and the dark wizard Morgan is completely forgotten;

Moses used a magic wand to separate the Red Sea and turned into a ridiculous story.

In addition, George killed the dragon, David vs Goliath…”

Everyone held their breath, Tom said quietly:

"These once powerful wizards occupy the position of divine destiny in Muggle's heart and have become stupid myths in an ignorant period, and are thrown behind by Muggle."

"But don't make any mistakes. It's not that Muggles are blamed, but these 'gods' have hidden themselves.

The wizard gave up his past status and fabricated the so-called "Secret Law" and could only squeeze into a dark corner like a mouse."

"The blooming of magic will only be in a very small number of souls. These few people, with the body of mortals, are comparable to gods."

Tom said loudly, his voice deafening:

“We should be born to be God’s destiny, we should rule the world and rule the Muggles, as we did in the past few thousand years ago!”
