Chapter 1378 ? Reception

A few days later, on Hogwarts Floating City, the protective umbrella was moved to the president's office on the highest floor of the headquarters here. It uses full floor-to-ceiling glass windows, and at a glance, you can see the scenery around the University of Floating City. Compared with the surrounding more magical architectural style, the overall headquarters is because the president's background and preferences are more Muggle and more modern.

In Hermione's seldom-used office, many wizards related to Harris have already been seated for the changes after Allen became the president of the Wizarding Union, although many people have come here for the first time.

After using the projector to play a lot of icons and a series of data reports that most of the wizards here could not understand, Hermione straightened her back, her cheeks were rosy, her tone and voice rose slightly, with Joyful energy: "The establishment of the global trade network makes materials no longer a problem. In fact, we can make a lot of money just as the largest logistics center for transit. More importantly, it doesn't matter whether they have a floating city or not, as long as the trade network is formed. They will no longer have reason to be hostile to us."

Even though the United Kingdom was in a strong position before, the United Kingdom was isolated by other countries and surrounded by hostile countries, which made Hermione wonder if it was her own side that was wrong, but now other countries have suddenly changed their attitudes. The international situation has undergone earth-shaking changes from before—Hermione, who understands why Allen had the courage to be hostile to most countries in the world before, admires Allen even more.

"If there is no problem with the supplies..." Lun twirled the quill between his fingers, he paused, and spoke a little more emphatically, "Now that the trade has resumed and the sanctions are over, we are concerned about those who were mixed in the borders of various countries before. There is no need to invest too much in the development of the areas in between? They seem to have little economic value...Of course, if the investment has already been made, don’t waste it, can it be used as a deterrent?”

"Len, your point of view is very reasonable, but I want to talk about my thoughts from another angle." Grindelwald's fingers brushed his well-trimmed beard on his face, and said slightly behind him , "These places are indeed a bit biased, but it is recommended that these places be directly owned by us in the future, but the trade network provided this time will be one of the main strongholds for the establishment of the local permanent portal..." He looked at the confused Lenn and smiled Laughs, "I think there's more to be invested in getting these places to grow in those backcountry locations, and because they're not that big, we can even try to make it look better than most of the cities in these countries themselves..."

"A good arrangement." Allen praised affirmatively. Now that his intelligence has been further improved, even if he basically doesn't spend his mind on these things, he can fully understand Grindelwald's thoughts in an instant. We are close to or relatively powerful magical kingdoms, these pioneering lands let it focus on running its own business duties without going too far, and those who are not so powerful...Let them be inseparable from us first, but if there are some wizards with enough talents If there are not enough development platforms in the local area...the expansion of the Floating Void City will not be troublesome, and the current scale is far from complaining..."

"Oh, you're talking about the population..." Lun's brain turned when he was mentioned, and he quickly understood the other party's thoughts and followed his train of thought, "When they get used to having Britain by their side... they get used to being here. and depend on,

In this way, those backward areas can see that even this barren land can develop into what they envy, and live a desirable British life..."

The other wizards also recognized Grindelwald's concept. Hermione is no longer the naive little witch. As the president of the company, she is already familiar with seeking benefits for herself under the premise of justice. She earnestly uses The quill pen recorded on the parchment, intending to go back and try to figure out the details of the plan that can benefit as many people as possible.

"I don't have any objections to these plans, but I want to give Albert a long vacation on my Auror side..." Penello raised his hand and made a request apologetically, "Hogwarts Teaching tasks, the establishment of the peacekeeping force, and the maintenance of law and order in the red umbrella department that is needed for the development of these frontiers...I recently learned the multiple shadow clones, otherwise I guess my work in the school will have to stop..." Then she He said to Hermione, "Also, Miss Know-It-All, I just finished reading the information you provided. I don't think the umbrella should provide so many advanced equipment for the troops of the International Federation. They are not our own..."

"Penello, this is actually what my father meant. Although the operations of the peacekeeping force are nominally commanded by the International Federation of Wizards, we are now responsible for the training and equipment, and they are also stationed in our floating city. ..." Lun explained for Hermione, and then glanced at Grindelwald as if he wanted to show his hand in front of him, "So, we need to look at this issue with a different mindset. The wolf mother and their umbrella team are also teaching assistants. There is nothing serious, so they can be sent to be officers of these peacekeeping forces, and their strength is enough for other countries to have no way to question, which also strengthens our control..."

"Although it may not be easy for people in the red umbrella department to command ... However, compared to this small shortcoming, it is better than simply pushing the peacekeeping force to others." Allen also added, "And some missions themselves are also dangerous. Letting our people in the umbrella do it by themselves may not be pleasing, let the peacekeeping force make some achievements, and let these countries that have also contributed to see some actual results." As he said, Allen took out with one hand He picked up his pocket watch, looked at the time, stood up and said, "Sorry, we made an appointment with Professor Flitwick to pick up someone earlier, and an American friend I know is coming to study in university, so I have to go and entertain him and take him around the floating city... Gellert, let's go first."

"There will be a performance at the Three Broomsticks tonight, and Tina Warbeck has also been invited to sing... Oh, and Helena and her female ghost choir will also be there." Len leaned on the chair, always serious The tone of her voice was filled with joy, "My cousins ​​also want to see it. If you don't go home for dinner, you'd better tell your mother. She has been too addicted to cooking for too long during her pregnancy."

"Alan, when you came back from the United States, you gave me a set of Ilvermorny magic textbooks." Hermione scratched her chin with the quill in her hand, and recalled with emotion, "I didn't have much knowledge at that time, and I thought Their magic textbook compilation is very reasonable, and some places are better than Hogwarts."

"Unfortunately, Ellen, the seamstress of the suit you gave me died, and it became out of print..." Penello curled her lips and showed off in disbelief. He tilted his head and asked, "Come to Hogwarts to go to college... from the family you met when you went to America in your second year?"

"Yes, it's Mr. Leonard's niece. She wants to come over to study. He has no children of his own, but he has raised two children, Jessica and Ian, and he is a good friend of Professor Flitwick, so Wei Ask us to take care of it... eh?" Allen answered honestly first, then noticed Penello's more vigilant expression, and finally realized what the other party was worried about, and opened his mouth and said, "It's impossible for me and her, Because... that..."

Allen opened his mouth and wanted to explain that he and Jessica were quite different in age but there had never been any ambiguity, but he suddenly realized the situation between himself and Penello, and wisely wanted to change his words, but this hesitation made him He looked even more suspicious.

"Then I'll go with you, anyway, my waiting will be fine..." Penello said without further questioning, and then she hesitated for a moment and looked at Hermione, "Miss Know-it-all, why don't you come? You can just give Let the other party explain the allusions in your head."

Hermione's expression became a little dazed and surprised. She never expected that Penello would still invite her, but seeing that she didn't respond, Penello's long leg kicked out suddenly and hit Hermione's calf .

Hermione hissed and glared at Penello angrily, but saw the other party glanced at Alan with his big round eyes. Hermione then recalled what Alan said just now, and finally realized the important point Pay attention to the place.

Hermione, who understood, poked the fluffy hair with the quill tube and said, "Alan, since it is your friend and a witch, Penello and I will also go over to help receive it, otherwise it will be all wizards, she Might not be too comfortable."

Allen looked helplessly at the exaggerated and obvious expressions of the two people, and wanted to say something, but Grindelwald's frustrating voice sounded first.

"Alan, young people, let's go to Floating City and Hogwarts together. I won't join in the fun. I will entertain her to visit the university when she enters school."

After finishing speaking, Allen saw Grindelwald, the grandson thief, abandoning him and slipping away.
