Chapter 1373 ? Election
The Waggadu Academy of Magic on the Moon Mountain in Uganda, on the mountainside of the "equatorial snow mountain" with the scorching sun above the equator, the magnificent building that is outlined and shrouded in mist looks like it is floating in mid-air.
At this time, in the moon mountain, in a huge brown pointed hut in Waggadu, which has a history of at least a thousand years, emerald green vines emerge from the ground, and the intertwined branches grow into the shape of tables and chairs, undulating in the room Such as waves and circles, the layers are distributed in a U shape. The central rostrum is composed of a large tree stump and carefully planted vines. It is far higher than other plant tables and chairs. When attacked, these vines will turn into a barrier, protecting the speakers on the rostrum.
Members of the International Federation of Wizards gather here. Although the weather is hot and there are many people in the room, the thatch of this hut uses magic plants, which can adjust the temperature and make the room cool and comfortable, and also block the stench of the beautiful hoopoe birds on the roof. Outside.
At this time, it is the meeting site of the International Federation of Wizards. At this time, the seats are full of wizard representatives from all over the world. Their hands of different skin colors are raised high in the venue, and the sleeves of wizard robes of different colors are swaying in the air. Even wizards in some countries even raised their hands in approval.
Among them, there were only sporadic representatives who did not raise their hands, and some even folded their arms, frowning and staring at the somewhat one-sided situation in front of them.
Babajid Akinbad looked much haggard and older than Babajid Akinbad when he first became the chairman, but at this moment he stood on the most central rostrum with a somewhat radiant expression, with a green Kanga embroidered with golden patterns on his body. Wrapped from the chest to the toes, his eyes flicked across the rows of hands: "Now it seems that the result is clear, so..."
"You've all been bribed!" Bulgaria's Minister of Magic, Obalonsk, interrupted Babajid with an exasperated yell, his bald forehead was bursting with veins, "I object, it's not fair!"
"Please forgive me..." Heinrich Thälmann, the representative of the German Ministry of Magic, stood up from his seat, restrained his anger, and said in a staid tone, "Everyone, the president elected in such a hurry can truly represent the international community. Is the wizarding union? Forgotten that the United Kingdom is still on the sanctions list of many countries we are present. Don’t forget that the suffering and dangers before were brought to us by the wizards of this country. How can such a country lead the world? The Wizarding Union?"
The American representative was sullen and silent. The representative who came this time was not the Leonard they were familiar with, but a middle-aged wizard with somewhat hairy hair. He is Gilbert Fontana, a direct descendant of the Graves family, one of the first twelve Aurors in the United States, who was expected to be in the Ten or twenty years later, after the retirement of the headmaster of the Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, he took over his position. He gave up his career in education and started politics because he listened to the speech of Gondufus III, trying to change the American magic world. greater.
And because he advocated against British hegemony,
Recently, their faction has become quite popular with ordinary wizards in the American magic circle who have become somewhat nationalistic, so they replaced the conservatives and became the representatives this time.
At this time, in addition to the representative seats where the representatives sat, the guards standing on the outermost circle obviously also had some opinions on this meeting, and Ian also came here as a member of the guards.
Ian's somewhat stubborn blonde short hair has grown a lot now, his forehead hair almost covers half of his eyes, and his originally thin body has become much stronger. During Allen's experience in the United States, the two of them experienced some things together, fought duels, and occasionally exchanged letters and gifts during festivals to maintain their friendship-of course, they are no longer rivals. .
"They're all a bunch of bastards, like flies... I forget how to bully people after losing a little flesh and bones..." A taller American wizard next to Ian waved his fists cursingly, "Forget it so quickly The invaders have taken so many colonies."
Ian didn't agree. He leaned against the wall with his arms folded, frowning. Now his companions are so resentful of Allen's election as president. As an American wizard, he is also dissatisfied with this situation, but the relationship with Allen is like this. The contradictions and conflicts caused by his two identities made him very embarrassed.
"Please calm down!" Aginbad pressed his hands, raised the volume a little to make the scene quiet, and retorted in a somewhat forceful tone, "This result was at the conference, through formal procedures, and most countries jointly raised their hands The choice, there is no irregularity in the whole process... If you are dissatisfied with this result and do not want it to appear, you should express your opinions before and just now for the representatives of member states to judge... And I personally think that if you can let There is nothing wrong with happy cooperation between countries, which contributes to the peace of the magic world. It can even be said that this further proves the advantage of Principal Harris as the president... This matter itself is also aboveboard, and there is nothing wrong with it. The obscurity should be regarded as a reason standard for considering the chairman's candidate."
Aginbad didn't feel bad about losing the position of the president at all. After taking this position, he found that it was different from what he had imagined at first. He was not the greatest white wizard in the world. This position meant nothing to him. Said it was as uncomfortable as being roasted by fire.
What's more, the Waggadu School of Magic has also been promised by Harris to help raise it into a floating city, and the other party also said that in addition to business matters, the academic exchanges between the two magic schools should be deepened, for example, in terms of transfiguration, to help Students complete the final session of the Animagus transforming into cheetahs and elephants…
With such a huge benefit, Akinbad will no longer face the censure of his own country's wizards when he resigns and returns to China at this time. Of course, he has to use the last little authority of the president before the handover of power to please Alan. The transaction was successfully completed.
"Everyone, since there was only one president of the federation before, there is no way to deal with the increasing number of conference affairs..." Agilbert Fontana made his debut, his voice was low and full of scholarly temperament, "We American advisors think , the federation should abandon the long-standing practice and establish a more sound system so that other countries can participate more in conference affairs... For example, imitate the United Nations of Muggles, and set up some permanent members to jointly handle international affairs... This can help us Federation brings more democratic and liberal influence."
The U.S. representative’s words caused a short commotion, but it still seemed worthless under the temptation of the Floating Void City and Energy Nuclear—even Fontana, who proposed the proposal, knew the result. Before they came, they already understood that this British proposal would make many countries irresistible. They came to the scene more to show their attitude, and to say these propositions in the future. confess.
"Thank you for your suggestion, Professor Fontana. The reform of the system does not start with a casual sentence. After President Harris takes office, you can elaborate on your own ideas... Today our topic is the election of the president And the handover, we don’t discuss irrelevant topics.” Babajid said forcefully, he slowed down, and pressed his hands on the rostrum to show his shame, “I didn’t have any outstanding achievements during my tenure. The world has become chaotic, and I have not fulfilled my duty..."
The current president of the federation took the initiative to admit that his work was not effective. This kind of voluntary retreat quieted the venue and made it difficult for Thälmann and the Bulgarians to complain and accuse afterwards.
"My successor is different. His knowledge and strength, as well as his contributions to maintaining the secrecy law and fighting against the Dark Lord, are obvious to all. He has shown outstanding leadership in the construction of Hogwarts School and the floating city. Hope International Under the leadership of Principal Harris, the Wizarding Union can become increasingly prosperous and play a greater role in protecting the magical world, maintaining world peace, and resolving regional conflicts." Aginbad stretched out his hand in Allen's direction, "Principal Harris, I am sorry to hand over such a complicated and difficult situation to you. Please accept my sincere apologies and best wishes. I hope your future work goes well."
