Facts have proved that spectators are only spectators after all.
When the Brandt family master repeatedly attacked aginbad, all the Wizards on the auditorium kept silent and whispered; When aginbad openly declared his "betrayal", the Wizards at the table were surprised or suspicious, but they still chose to stand idly by.
After that, when Luna and silly Bo also appeared suddenly, showing the strong combat power that ordinary wizards can't resist, these "spectators" even lost their mind to gossip, and became dumb people who only know how to shrink their heads.
In fact, this is almost an epitome of the current situation of most forces in various countries when the whole European magic world is facing the disaster caused by Haier Bo.
"... when most people at home and abroad began to focus only on protecting their own interests and security rather than follow my orders, from that moment on, I knew that I, the president, had no actual power. If I continued, I would eventually bear the blame and punishment for the dereliction of duty of the entire International Federation of wizards as the president, perhaps it would become The last bit of 'value' I can give in my life. "
At present, Luna has left the Federation building with aginbad, and they are walking on the coastal road leading to Granger camp. Just behind them, Ursula and Ida were pacing slowly at a short distance.
Ah jinbad said this just now.
Maybe he just held it too long and wanted to find a suitable audience to tell him frankly. Or, in fact, he would like to hear other people's views on his experiences.
It has to be said that Luna is probably the most suitable "complaint" object he can find now.
"So after meeting Miss Brandt, Mr. President, you made up your mind to hold a trial meeting today and give a good performance?"
Luna said with great interest as she walked, as if she was still savoring the "wonderful performance" she had participated in halfway before.
"Well," aginbad shook his head with a bitter smile, "the 'big play'... Yes! This metaphor is very appropriate - there are leading actors, guest actors, supporting actors and the audience, and almost everyone has his own script in his heart. It's not a ridiculous big play!"
"That's what Bill said!" Luna shrugged.
"Really?" aginbad raised his eyebrows and then turned, "In short, I just want to do what I can while I'm still sitting as the president of the Federation. I can't hope that after today's words, all the 'audience' in the venue will be stimulated to stand up and resist - as long as a few people will wake up after witnessing today's riots, I'm satisfied Enough. "
At this point, he could not help sighing, and then turned to look at the blonde girl next to him, almost the same age as his grandson. He was very grateful:
"Smart miss Lovegood, although I must thank you for standing up today, adding effect to my final dedication in that way, and even bringing me out whole. But... Now even you have publicly announced your connection with Haier. Is it really worth it?"
Luna listened to him, but soon smiled easily.
"Of course it's worth it!" she stroked her long hair and gestured towards the other side of the English Channel. "I'm not mainly to help you get away, Mr. President! In fact, I just feel that many people now seem to rely too much on Marca, Harry and Hermione, which is the biggest reason why everyone is unwilling to take the initiative to resist the disaster."
"'dependence '." aginbad heard the speech and immediately gave a slight pause. Then he nodded again and again, "yes! That's right. That's really' dependence '."
"So!" Luna continued, "if they suddenly find that the objects they once relied on may no longer be reliable, will they wake up to the fact that they have to rely on themselves next?"
Speaking of this, she suddenly pointed to the tip of her nose and scratched her head more or less embarrassed - her long soft pale blond hair suddenly became a little messy.
"Although I'm not very good myself, I'm also a good friend of Hermione, Harry and Neville. I did that today... Do you think people will gradually think of Hermione and them afterwards?"
Seriously, aginbad didn't expect that Luna's previous behavior was not caused by impulse.
He thought it was amazing that Luna could see through his plan on the way. But who knows, the girl even seemed to have a thoughtful idea at every step, and even knew the changes that might happen afterwards.
"Indeed," sighed aginbad, nodding again, "In today's trial, I invited not only members of the magic circles of various countries, but also many journalists from magic newspapers. I believe that everything that happened in the venue today will spread throughout Europe with amazing efficiency - you know, those journalists always like to add fuel to their reports. No matter what we are written in the end, I won't Surprised! "
"At least my father won't talk nonsense in his own magazine. What he writes is the facts he has investigated himself!" Luna wrinkled her nose, but somehow, she finally tilted her head and added, "well, it should be so. That's right."
Almost at the same time, Mr. Lovegood, who was writing a manuscript in a house in the refuge community, shook his hand and accidentally touched the ink bottle on the side with his elbow. With a crash, the thick ink flowed over most of the table and dyed many manuscripts piled on the table into waste paper.
"Oh!"
He gave a subconscious exclamation, but even if he put down his quill, he sighed helplessly - since he came here to start his life of refuge, "singing the opposite tune" has already completely stopped publishing indefinitely. If these manuscripts are dirty, they will be dirty! It won't come in much use anyway.
After waving his wand and getting most of the ink back into the bottle, he got up and went to the window, muttering to the unchanging deserted street outside:
"My dear little Luna, you can't do anything! Dad prays for you here... But who should I pray to? Merlin?"
Finally, he couldn't help sighing and shaking his head.
