Chapter 1156? What Is Needed Is Not Speech but Action
"Huh, Minister, they will definitely take care of this matter. I think these people are so anxious because they are instigated by someone behind the scenes..." Dirk Creswell in the Three Broomsticks Tavern withdrew his gaze, and he planned to renew himself. A glass of wine, "Huh? This is..." Cresway looked at the slightly trembling beer in the glass beer glass on the table, and saw the small bubbles rising. He frowned in confusion and said to his companions, " Earthquake? But we are in the air..."
"Stupid, are you watching Mrs. Rosmerta mixing drinks at the bar again? Are you shaking?" The wizard next to him laughed and patted his shoulder.
"No, the beer is indeed sloshing. What's going on? Also, do you feel that... the wind blowing in from the window seems to be getting stronger?" Another companion raised his beer glass and asked suspiciously.
The protests of the protesters outside the bar also turned into exclamations. In the sky far above the floating city, the huge fire dragons of different shapes and colors stopped patrolling and walking, fluttering their wings and flying back to the floating city quickly. They circled and fell in an orderly manner around the floating city, disappearing from the sight of the wizards. They returned to the dragon lairs dug into the mountain below the floating city.
Several previously announced floating ships also suddenly flashed back in large numbers. They gathered from all directions, and for a while they gathered in a somewhat dense manner around the floating city. Under the guidance of the leaders of the floating ship docks at Hogwarts, some Start docking sequentially.
Suddenly, there was a slightly more violent shaking, as if the floating city had just risen. Several unlucky wine glasses placed by the drinkers on the edge of the table fell to the ground and broke into pieces, which also caused a steady The drunken wizard who was standing in his body was caught off guard and rolled to the ground.
This small incident suddenly caused the timid people to scream, making the atmosphere at the scene even more tense.
After being frightened, the wizards started talking and making a lot of noise.
"Did the magic world from other countries launch an attack on the floating city?"
"Is there something wrong with the floating city? We won't fall down."
"Go to the fireplace! Leave first."
…
"Why panic." As the director of the Goblin Liaison Office, Dirk Creswell said loudly, "The floating city is already stable... Those floating ships and fire dragons just now... this was not a sudden attack... it was the beginning of the floating city. Moved?"
The wizards in the tavern all came out of their rooms and poured into the square. They looked up to see what was going on. Although they could no longer feel the shaking, walking on the square seemed to be as smooth as usual, but they could see that there was no difference. In the sky above the fire dragon and the aerospace ship, the floating clouds moved rapidly in one direction.
The wizards who were eager to know what happened were a little impatient. They had already taken out their brooms and started to fly into the sky. The wind blew their hair back. Looking down from a high place, they could only see the bottom. The desolate and inhabited land was shrouded in the floating city, reflecting a huge shadow that was rapidly moving forward.
Under the passing clouds, the mirror-flat black lake shimmered in the sun, and the dark green rolling hills and jungles in the distance passed quickly before their eyes, and only a patch of ink could be seen. The thick green shadows made it almost impossible to see the specific mountains and hills.
"Don't panic, everyone, I am Alan Harris..." Alan's voice resounded throughout the floating city. The voice that came from nowhere was very peaceful, like whispering in everyone's ears, but Every wizard in the Floating City can hear clearly, "The shock just now and what everyone is feeling now... are all caused by the fact that the Floating City is moving. Please rest assured that all actions in the Floating City are under my control." Next... everyone is very safe as always." Allen paused to give everyone a few seconds to digest. "For specific situations, you can go to the Ravenclaw Temple in the Commercial Plaza. My father Owen Harris will be there to help you in half an hour. To explain, of course...Harris TV is reporting now."
After receiving Allen's explanation, the wizards who understood that their life safety would not be a problem regained their composure. However, just like the female boss who was casting a repair spell and the drunkard who rolled around on the ground, many people were Complaints should be given in advance.
Seeing that many people who had previously protested began to go to the Commercial Plaza, several tavern patrons simply retreated to the Three Broomsticks Tavern. They used their wands to turn up the volume on the TV, and found that in the Commercial Plaza south of the Black Lake of Hogwarts, A temporary venue has been set up in front of the steps of the Ravenclaw Temple, and many wizards from the Hogwarts Floating City below the stage have already rushed over.
About thirty minutes later, in the commercial plaza that was originally a little empty due to planning, under the surveillance of the Hogwarts guards under the outer umbrella, there were already several groups of onlookers who had come after receiving the news. Anti-Harris Some people from the pure-blood family also rushed over to deal with Harris' seemingly counterattack this time.
Owen Harris, wearing the uniform of the Ministry of Magic, came to the scene with members of the Ministry of Magic and Auror guards who would not appear at Hogwarts on weekdays. Granger Hermione, the president of the Umbrella Company and the head of the Red Umbrella Department, came to the scene. Penelo Crevat also came to the venue with his company's subordinates, but Alan Harris, the principal of Hogwarts, did not appear at the scene.
Without any extra preamble, Irving stood up directly after picking up his pocket watch and checking the time.
"Today, I feel very lucky that Ravenclaw protected my family to come to this land and take root here... In this island country hanging outside the European continent, neither my parents nor I have local blood. , as many people know from some family magazines, my father was a wizard who followed the first generation Dark Lord Gertler Grindelwald. For a long time, let alone you, even I didn’t think that I was He is a British wizard..." Owen unexpectedly did not announce any information but spoke about his life experience. His voice then became much softer, "I am fortunate to study at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. It was also in this British magic school that I met my wife who has devoted her whole life to her family, Morgan Le Fay from the local pure-blood family Rozier... Although like many of the pure-blood families here, The situation is the same. This is a deliberate arrangement by the family, but luckily than many people, this is also our wish. This allows me to recognize my identity...I do not deny my foreign origin, but now I am also a British The wizard…”
"We're not here to hear your love story!"
"Your policies have ruined the economy! You are taking advantage of your power to commit a crime!"
The protest that the protesters in the crowd originally wanted to start when the opponent arrived seemed to have failed under the momentum of the Ministry of Magic and the blessing of the tall and sacred Ravenclaw Temple behind them. Except for a few bold ones, After shouting out, more unemployed people held up protest signs somewhat dryly.
"I saw the signs held up by many people, and I understand that since the rise of the Floating City and the establishment of our own Wizards Bank, everyone's lives have undergone earth-shaking changes..." Owen gestured directly to the protesting crowd with his hand. , "Recall carefully, everyone, what have we in the UK done for the wizarding world in the past few years? We defeated the mysterious man and his Death Eaters several times, and after driving them out of the UK, we even Have enough energy to help other countries... We have invented many novel magical creations and lowered the prices of many products so that most wizard families can afford things they could not afford before... Improved the lives of wizards... My son announced Thanks to his magical achievements, the mystery of Animagus, which had only ten registered people in the world a few years ago, has become an ordinary transformation skill..."
"But now we're unemployed!"
“We can’t afford anything now!”
Irving's words obviously did not satisfy the protesters below, and they even felt angry because of his boasting.
"I understand your anger. In fact, I am also very angry. Our economy has indeed been destroyed and many people's lives are in trouble. But this shouldn't be a problem caused by ourselves, right?" Irving was still very calm. To those who interrupted him, he asked, "The Floating City and the Nether Core were originally products that would benefit more people. They would allow every wizard family to live a wealthy life that previous pure-blood families might not be able to live." , but after we have done so much for the world's wizarding community, what feedback did they give us? Not only did the International Federation of Wizards make no achievements in maintaining the "Statutory of Secrecy", it even in turn obstructed and obstructed our actions to combat the Dark Lord. Criticism... Of course, UU Kanshu www.uukanshu.net they did apologize; we have lowered the prices of many creations for ordinary wizards, but this has also offended many pure-blood families who make a living from huge profits; in order to completely solve the problem, we The Dark Lord went to the goblins' Gringotts, but was hindered because the goblins were concerned about their... business reputation issues. In other words, the goblins protected the Dark Lord, and we could have avoided the damage caused by his evil deeds in Europe. avoid…"
"Minister Harris, we are not here to listen to your reasons and your great achievements in the past. Now our workshop is forced to close and we have to eat!" Most people are actually very clear about the reasons Owen described, but now they are facing When it comes to the issue of one's own survival, without the instigation of pure-blood forces hidden in the crowd, these past achievements of Harris will be nothing to the unemployed wizards.
"Well, yes...it's useless, isn't it? Maybe you are curious, why is it that my son, who is better at speaking than I am, is as good at giving cold and calculating speeches and leading the way as those newspapers describe him? Why didn't Allen, the son of the evil voice-over and the owner of Hogwarts' floating city, show up at the scene...Why don't you come and deliver these speeches about politics, order, and power to incite people's hearts?" Owen looked at the man who was out of control. Magic workshop owner, "My son Alan realized from the very beginning that what British wizards need now is not speeches, but actions... So now, our actions have begun."
