Chapter 2143 Old Aginbad's Wisdom
"Yeah! There are still a lot of people working hard...it's true."
Seeing Luna say that, Akinbad couldn't help being moved, and immediately nodded vigorously. But at this moment, Miss Brandt, who had been standing by Ursula's side since she came in, seemed to be unable to restrain herself after listening to old Aginbad's previous statement.
"Oh! First, wait a minute—" Ida suddenly raised her hand and said, "Mr. Aginbad, based on what you said just now, I don't actually need to go to the venue to accept the trial today, do I? What you are going to do has nothing to do with me at all!"
Speaking of which, it seemed that old Akinbad hadn't mentioned half a word about Ida Brandt just now, so it's no wonder she thought so.
However, Aginbad turned around quickly, shook his head and said:
"Of course not! Miss Brandt, you heard what I said just now—whether Mrs. Maxime can recover in time is the most important thing for the whole plan. And you are undoubtedly to ensure that 'timely' the key."
After saying this, he suddenly bowed slightly apologetically towards Ida.
"Yes, I think I have to apologize to you, Miss Brandt... I'm sorry! I know, you must still be annoyed by my unreasonable force to keep you. But, I am too There is no other way!"
Archibald said seriously:
"In order to ensure that you can bury the truth in your heart more naturally at the trial meeting, without favoring either me or your Patriarch, I can only let you know nothing about my plan, relying on your own Judgment creates distrust towards me. And only when you don’t choose to tell the truth in public, can the trial process be unknowingly and naturally prolonged, thinking that Madame Maxime can buy more time.”
Hearing this, Ida finally understood, and at the same time, she immediately realized how scheming the old president was. If he hadn't grasped her psychology to a certain depth, it would be impossible to calculate to this level.
"This...that is to say, did you deliberately let me see you being rejected by other members of the federation?" She immediately stared at Akinbad in a dazed and surprised mood and asked.
"Oh, it can't be said that it was 'intentional' for you to see it!" Old Akinbad sighed with a wry smile, "After all, that is the truth, you will naturally find out when you go to the trial meeting—— Those guys, at the beginning, were more or less restrained, but recently they have even saved their pretense. But they can't be blamed, after all... You see, I'm missing an arm and blind, I'm so' Half useless', it is indeed not suitable to continue to sit in the chair of the Federation President.
"
After laughing at himself, he continued:
"However, it was indeed my arrangement to let so many guards stare at you in advance. To tell you the truth, those people are already the only remaining supporters among my guards at the federation headquarters. And some After they showed you my 'power' in advance on my behalf, when you go to the venue and see my actual weakness, this contrast will make you have a fundamental suspicion of me."
"So, from the moment you decided to give up assisting me in disclosing the truth about the 'Beauxbaton's Living Corpse Incident', my plan can be carried out smoothly."
In the end, Aginbad nodded again and said:
"I'm sorry, Miss Brandt. Although, at that time, I had already made up my mind to die, so that I didn't care much about many things. However, I did use you today—since I have Miss Lovegood now In the end, I survived, maybe you can make a request to me as compensation for you... as long as I can do it."
At this moment, the old Akinbad had already acted quite sincerely, and he was also very real. As for the so-called "compensation", after all, Akinbad was a wizard who served as the president of the Federation. Even if he is not now, such a promise is quite precious.
However, Ida suddenly discovered that she didn't seem to have the face to accept this "compensation" from the other party. After hesitating for a moment, she finally shook her head and said:
"No, I... I just hope that I can see Miss Granger as soon as possible. Other than that, there is no need for 'compensation'."
On the other side, after hearing her request, Aginbad suddenly said:
"Oh, about this—actually, I think Madame Maxime is probably trying to scare her. As a person, I don't really believe that she will really put a curse on you... and to be honest, as far as I am concerned, As far as we know, there seems to be no spell in this world that can unilaterally cause an effect similar to the 'unbreakable oath' on others."
"Of course, there are no absolutes. There is still so much we don't know about magic. So, shall we bring you to Mr. Weasley?"
After reassuring Ida, he sighed again:
"Oh, if only we could have a chance to talk to Madam Maxime when we leave. Actually, it's not just your business, I also have a lot of ideas that I hope to discuss with her! It's a pity -"
Sighing with some regret, Aginbad's expression became lost again. After all, he, who was originally the president of the federation, can only withdraw from the stage in such a way of smearing his name, which is actually a very big blow to him.
However, the reality has made him no time to feel and grieve too much.
"Mr. Aginbad, and this Miss Brandt," Bill, who had been listening all the time, said suddenly, "I think I have to pour cold water on the two of you. In fact, Because there seem to be some changes that are still unknown in the UK, in my personal opinion, it is best not to go there in the near future—at least Miss Brandt, with your strength, go to Devon to find Hermione It's just not realistic."
"But I'll die if I don't go...well, I mean, I might die."
After Akinbad's analysis just now, Ida also became a little uncertain. But no matter what, it is a matter of his own life, and in the end, it is better to believe that it is a surefire policy.
But Bill, like Aginbad just now, sighed and said:
"But if you go, you may die, or die sooner... Do you know? I sent three wizard teams to investigate a few days ago, but until now, even No one has returned, not even the slightest sound!"
"That's right... not only you, Miss Brandt, but even Luna, I don't suggest you return to the Burrow right now."
