"... speed up your movements. Bring only the necessary things. Hurry up! The third team has set out. Let the fourth team gather outside and the escort will be in place immediately!"
As the largest and most important refuge camp, diagonal lane has more people than the other two refuge points combined. Just to organize the evacuation, we have to be divided into several teams to avoid all kinds of problems caused by the overstaffing of the evacuation team.
However, when it comes to escort work, the team at Diagon lane is also the best.
In addition to the fact that there is a team led by Delphi in San Mungo, each team of the evacuation team in Diagon lane has sufficient accompanying guards, and the wizards are fully responsible for guarding in front, middle and back to deal with possible accidents.
All these, despite some suggestions put forward by Maka at the beginning, can basically be said to come from Lupin's plans and arrangements. If the evacuation teams could safely and quickly withdraw from downtown London this time, he would certainly be the most credited.
At present, Lupin is busy and nervous in front of the broken wall in the backyard of the broken cauldron bar, personally directing the scene and maintaining order in the field.
"Mr. lupin, the fourth team has assembled in the open space outside the bar. We can start immediately after the second inventory. In addition, the third team has completely left the block, and the assembly yard on the left is empty!"
Lupin nodded quickly after a witch ran over from the front bar and reported.
"Very good," he paused, then waved his hand, "then, ladies and gentlemen in the fifth team, please gather on the empty ground outside the front door of the bar as soon as possible!"
But just as other volunteers responded one after another to lead the fifth batch of evacuees to gather outside, a figure suddenly flew out of the bar behind lupin.
"Mr. lupin, Bill Weasley of the Weasley family came here just now and said that the situation has changed. Let's speed up the retreat again."
Just then, the witch stopped a little, and then added:
"Oh, the other party also said that this is what Mr. McLean asked him to convey."
"What about bill?"
"Then he left. He looked in a hurry."
Lupin could not help frowning when he heard that bill came and went in such a hurry, which showed its seriousness. In addition, it was Marca who said this, which made the problem even bigger.
"Maka, is he... Fighting?"
On this thought, Lupin couldn't help raising his hand and rubbing his forehead. After a little thought, he immediately continued:
"From now on, the number of the team will be counted after leaving the downtown area of London, and you can leave after gathering! In addition, four escorts will be added to each team!"
No one objected, because Lupin's command has been affirmed by most people over this period of time.
The next moment, the flow of people in Diagon Lane suddenly became busier. Between coming and going, a large number of asylum seekers wave after wave entered through the back door of the broken cauldron bar and went through the bar to the open space outside.
Because of the lack of a more time-consuming step, the overall efficiency has indeed become much higher. Soon, the fourth and fifth teams also embarked on the road to the suburbs.
However, the evacuation from London is both reassuring and worrying for asylum seekers. Even their trust in lupin, their gratitude to the Aurors who rescued them and the wizards who supported them, could not eliminate their worries and fears about the outside world.
Is it really safe outside? As asylum seekers who have been staying in Diagon lane, they have no way to be sure.
Lupin looked at the faces passing in front of him, old, young, low, or nervous. No face was relaxed.
Especially after hearing that he had just announced the cancellation of the counting steps, everyone naturally felt a little more heavy and uneasy.
In fact, even Lupin's own heart is also full of anxiety.
"Don't be in a daze and move on! Don't worry, Auror of the Ministry of magic and the supporters of the Federation will be responsible for protecting everyone's safety! Please don't be nervous and don't be afraid. The precautions have been reminded many times before. As long as there are no mistakes, we can at least minimize the danger!"
After a few words of comfort, Lupin took a breath and looked further away.
All stores in Diagon lane, without exception, have closed their doors tightly, and their shopkeepers and employees have long been mixed with the crowd of asylum seekers.
People crowded in this not spacious street. Although there was no chaos due to the maintenance of good order, the crowd with low morale and full of haze made the scene more and more gloomy after all.
Yes, it's as dead as the sky covered by fog.
If it had been placed a few days ago, who could have imagined that Diagon Alley, once peaceful and prosperous, had unknowingly become like this?
"Huh?"
Suddenly, Lupin saw a familiar figure in the crowd, pulling his slightly erratic mood back to reality.
After that, he turned sideways and said to an Auror:
"Is that Mr. Ollivander? Please invite him over for me. I have something to ask him."
"OK, Lupin."
Looking at the Auror pushing forward in the crowd, he stepped back a few steps and came to the corner of the backyard.
A moment later, the young Aurora came here with an old man with gray hair and slightly haggard description, and nodded at lupin.
"Thank you. Let's go first. I'll be back in a minute."
After politely letting the young Auror leave, Lupin leaned slightly to salute the old man who walked slowly in front of him.
"Mr. Ollivander, I'm sorry! I have something to do with you, so I may need to delay you for a while."
"Oh, there's no delay..." old Ollivander shook his head, and his silver eyes seemed much darker than before, "I'm not young either. It doesn't matter if I go early or later... It doesn't even matter if I don't go. It's a pity that we inherit the magic wand technology of Ollivander's family... My son is not very smart, and my grandson is far from really enlightened!"
"This..." lupin said hurriedly after hearing the speech. "Don't say that! Mr. Ollivander, you are the treasure of our British magic world. Normally, we should arrange you in the second team. It's just because we're worried that someone thinks it's unfair."
Needless to say, wand masters like Mr. Ollivander are the top technical talents in the magic world. After all, wand makers with recognized technology like him exist in only a handful of Europe.
In the past, such characters have played a very important role in the magical society, not to mention the current disaster period and the future post disaster reconstruction period.
However, old Mr. Ollivander, who has been obsessed with skills and theory all his life, obviously has no consciousness of these things.
"Mr. Ollivander, I have a question... Where are the wands in your store now?"
While asking this question, Lupin's eyes subconsciously fell on the suitcase in the old man's hand. It can be seen that the suitcase looks a little old and insignificant, but it is very likely to store a large number of magic wands, which are regarded as the fundamental spell casting tool by modern wizards.
Sure enough, after hearing Lupin's inquiry, Ollivander quickly lifted his suitcase and motioned.
"It's all in here," he said, "including all the newly made ones that have been filed with the Ministry of magic, and of course, several sets of production tools in my store are installed in it!"
Even if Ollivander had no estimate of his identity and value, he cherished the wand he made.
"Oh! That's good... By the way! If you agree, I'll arrange several Aurors to follow you at all times to protect your personal safety."
