Magical Congress of the United States of America, Woolworth Building.
Just walking out of the door key Office, Li Chuan looked at the hundred-story magical building and thought to himself:
"This looks more impressive than the British Ministry of Magic."
Before coming, he had already checked relevant information about the Magical Congress of the United States of America.
Unlike the British Ministry of Magic, which is built underground as a separate building, the Magical Congress of the United States of America shares a building with ordinary people.
The entrance of the Woolworth Building is a revolving door. Normal people entering through the revolving door enter the Woolworth Building, while witches entering through the revolving door enter the Magical Congress of the United States of America.
"Where to?"
Walking into the magic elevator, an old goblin wearing a small felt hat and a suit asked Li Chuan.
Goblins and house-elves look very similar, but their status in the wizarding world is completely different from that of house-elves.
The status of house-elves is that of slaves, while the status of goblins is actually not much worse than that of wizards. They are good at metal processing, especially at making silverware. The currency of the wizarding world is made by them.
They even run Gringotts Wizarding Bank, which controls the economy of the magical world to a large extent.
"Lobby registration desk!"
Li Chuan replied politely.
The old goblin nodded, raised the cane in his hand, and pressed the button with the number 1 on it.
A few seconds later, the magic elevator reopened, and Li Chuan had arrived at the registration hall on the first floor.
The architectural style of the Magical Congress of the United States of America is very similar to that of a church. A huge portrait of a Witch hangs at the door, which is the current President of the Magical Congress of the United States of America, Seraphina Picquery.
The aisles are more spacious and cleaner than those of the British Ministry of Magic. Brooms and mops with the Awakening Charm are cleaning there from time to time, and golden metal giant eagles are spreading their wings and flying.
The wizards seemed to be more idle, many of them sitting on benches reading newspapers and chatting.
Perhaps because the United States has not been peaceful recently, there were not many foreign wizards registering at the registration office. Li Chuan did not have to queue up to register all the information.
"You are a wizard from England, so you may not be clear. Here in the United States, wizards must have a wand permit to carry a wand. Go to the Wand Permit Office and get a wand permit before you can leave."
The Witch in charge of registration reminded Li Chuan after registering his information.
Li Chuan was not surprised when he heard this, he just nodded and walked to the magic elevator again.
Applying for a wand permit is a unique regulation in the American wizarding world, and every wizard needs to apply for one.
Because the Aurors here can track the wand of the troublemaking wizard through the magic fluctuations on the wand permit, so as to determine their identity.
On the twenty-fifth floor underground, Li Chuan walked along the sign and entered a room that was obviously enlarged dozens of times by the Traceless Extension Charm.
Here, tables are neatly arranged, and each table is connected to a metal transparent pipe leading to the upper layer.
From time to time, files folded into mice run out of the pipes, and then tear each other apart on the table and turn into fragments.
Obviously, this is where the congressional staff shred and dispose of useless documents.
However, Li Chuan was slightly interested in the magic that turned the files into mice to handle themselves.
Yesterday, when he was at the British Ministry of Magic, he also saw the Witch in the foyer using magic to turn the paper into paper airplanes and automatically find Theseus Scamander.
At that time, he was thinking that if he replaced ordinary paper with Exploding Tag, and then let them turn into paper airplanes and fly to the enemy before detonating them, it seemed to be a good method.
"It seems that next time I go to Naruto World, I not only have to find a way to learn Orochimaru's Ninjutsu that can swallow items into my stomach for storage, but also have to learn how to make Exploding Tag."
Walking along the tables to the end, a sign with the Wand Permit Office on it appeared in front of him.
Under the sign, a short-haired Witch in a trench coat was sitting at her desk in a daze, wondering what she was thinking.
"Hello, I am Tom Foley from London, here to apply for a wand permit."
"Um, oh, I am Tina Goldstein, welcome to New York, give me your wand and registration certificate."
The Witch named Tina woke up suddenly, and took out a special magic card from the side powerlessly, and said to Li Chuan very formulaically.
Tina Goldstein, Newt Scamander's future wife. She was originally the most outstanding Auror of the Magical Congress of the United States of America. Because she helped an abused Muggle and cast magic in front of many Muggles, she violated the Wizarding Secrecy Law.
Now she has been demoted by Seraphina Picquery, the President of the Magical Congress of the United States of America, to the Wand Permit Office and became a clerk.
Hearing the other party's name, Li Chuan immediately knew the other party's identity.
However, he did not deliberately strike up a conversation, but handed Tom's wand and the registration certificate he had just obtained in the hall to the other party.
After Tina made his wand permit, he turned around and left like a normal wizard who came to apply.
He didn't want to cause huge changes in the subsequent plot because of some interference from him, at least he couldn't let Newt and Tina's encounter not happen because of him.
That would not be good for his next plan.
His purpose in coming to New York is to take advantage of the original plot to strive to make his identity on the surface completely famous in the wizarding world. Second, he wants to secretly cooperate with Grindelwald to seek benefits.
Therefore, if he can avoid disrupting the development of the plot in the early stage, he will try his best to ensure that everything is within his control.
After leaving the Magical Congress of the United States of America, Li Chuan directly followed the information he had searched before and came to Magical Street in New York, and temporarily found a bar to stay in.
Magical Street in the United States is located in Times Square in New York. The entrance is a stone tablet. Entering magic when touching the stone tablet will enter Magical Street.
After spending a day wandering around the entire Magical Street, in addition to finding some magic books that he had not found in Flourish And Blotts before, and tasting the local magic food, he did not find any extra gains.
However, this is also very normal. The United States has been established for less than two hundred years, so how long has the history of American wizards been? Most of them are British wizards who immigrated here.
Even the founder of the American magic school, Ilvermorny School Of Witchcraft And Wizardry, Isolt Sayre.
It was also because she often heard many stories about Hogwarts from her aunt Gormlaith Gaunt that she created Ilvermorny School Of Witchcraft And Wizardry because of her yearning.
Even the four colleges in the school imitate the four colleges of Hogwarts.
So don't think that the Ministry of Magic in the United States is much more impressive than the British Ministry of Magic, and Magical Street is much larger than Diagon Alley, but in fact, in terms of foundation, American wizards are still not as good as British wizards.
In the movie, if Newt Scamander hadn't helped, Grindelwald alone could have wiped out all the Aurors of the entire Magical Congress of the United States of America.
