Chapter 1378: ?Reception

A few days later, on the floating city of Hogwarts, the umbrella was relocated to the president's office on the highest level of the headquarters here. It uses full floor-to-ceiling glass windows. At a glance, you can see the scenery of the surrounding area of ​​the floating city university. The headquarters as a whole is more magical than the surrounding architectural style, because the background and preferences of the president are more Muggle and modern.

In Hermione's seldom-used office, many wizards related to Harris have been seated for Alan's changes since he became the president of the Wizarding Association, although many people have come here for the first time.

After using a projector to play a large number of icons and a series of data reports that most wizards in the room can’t understand, Hermione’s back is straight, her cheeks are rosy, her tone and tone of voice are slightly raised, with a hint Happy enthusiasm: "The establishment of a global trade network makes material no longer a problem. In fact, as the largest logistics center for transit, we can make a lot of money. More importantly, 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 if the United Kingdom was in a strong position before, it was isolated by various countries and surrounded by hostile countries. This made Hermione a little doubt whether her own side was wrong, but now other countries have suddenly changed their attitudes. The international situation and the previous changes have changed dramatically. I understand why Allen had the courage before and Hermione, who was hostile to most countries in the world, admired Allen even more.

"If there is no problem with the materials..." The quill in Lun's hand twirled between his fingers. He paused and added a little more emphasis. "Since the trade has been restored and the sanctions have ended, we are concerned about those who were mixed in the borders of countries There is no need to invest too much in the development of the areas in between? They seem to be of little economic value. Of course, if you have already invested, you can maintain operation as a deterrent if you don't waste it?"

"Lun, your point is very reasonable, but I want to talk about my thoughts from another angle." Grindelwald rubbed his fingers from his well-trimmed beard on his face, leaning slightly behind him. "These places are indeed a bit biased, but after the suggestion, we will directly take these places as our ownership, but provide this trade network as one of the main strongholds for the establishment of local permanent portals..." He looked at the confused Lun and smiled. Laughing, "I think we need to increase investment to let these places develop in those poor rural areas, and because the scale is not large, we can even try to make it look better than most of the cities in these countries..."

"Nice arrangement." Allen praised affirmatively. Now that his intelligence is further improved, even if his mind is basically not spent on these things, he fully understands Grindelwald's thoughts in an instant. We are close to or more powerful magic kingdoms, these pioneers let it focus on carrying out its own business responsibilities without being too much, and those who are not so powerful...let them can't do without us first, but if there are some wizards with enough talents If there is not enough development platform in the local area...the expansion of the floating city will not be troublesome, and the current scale is far from complaining..."

"Oh, you are talking about population..." Lun turned his mind when he was mentioned this way. He quickly understood the other side's thoughts and followed his thoughts, "When they get used to having Britain around them... Habits have a habit of getting used to here. And dependence, so that those underdeveloped areas can see that even this barren land can develop into the look they admire, and lead a yearning British life..."

Other wizards also recognized this concept of Grindelwald. Hermione was not a naive little witch anymore. She was already familiar with her as the president of the company for her own benefit under the premise of justice. She used it seriously. The quill pen recorded on the parchment, planning to go back and try to find out the details of the plan that would benefit more people.

"I don't have any opinion on these plans, but I want to go to Albert on the Auror side for a long vacation..." Penello raised his hand and asked apologetically, "Hogwarts's Teaching missions, the establishment of peacekeeping forces, and the maintenance of public security in the red umbrella department that is needed for the development of these pioneering areas...I recently learned the multiple shadow clones, otherwise I guess the work in the school will have to stop..." Then she Some said to Hermione, "In addition, Miss Know-How, I just finished reading the information you provided. I don't think umbrellas should provide so many advanced equipment for the International Federation. They are not our own."

"Penello, this is actually what my father meant. Although the operations of the peacekeeping forces are nominally commanded by the International Federation of Wizards, we are now responsible for training and equipping us, and they are stationed in our floating city. …" Lun explained to 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 in a different way. The wolf mother and their umbrella team are not only assistants. There is nothing serious, so we can be sent to be officers of these peacekeeping forces. Their strength is enough to make other countries unable to question. This has also strengthened our control..."

"Although there may not be people from the Red Umbrella Department to command smoothly... However, compared to this small shortcoming, it is better than simply pushing the peacekeeping force to others." Allen also said, "Moreover, some tasks are inherently dangerous. Letting our people do it by themselves may not be pleased. Let the peacekeeping forces do something to achieve, so that these countries that have also contributed their own efforts can see the actual effect." As he said, Allen took out with one hand. I took a pocket watch, checked the time, stood up and said, "Sorry, we have agreed with Professor Flitwick before to pick up people. An American friend we know is coming over to study at university, so I have to go and entertain him and take a stroll around the floating city... Gellert, let's go one step ahead."

"Tonight there will be a performance at the Three Broomsticks Bar, and Tina Warbeck was also invited to sing in person...oh, Helena and her female ghost choir will also go." Lun leaned back on the chair, always serious. "The cousins ​​also want to see it. If you don’t go home to eat, you’d better tell your mother that she’s a bit addicted to cooking for too long during her pregnancy."

"At the time, Ellen, you came back from the United States and you gave me a set of magic teaching materials for Ifamoni." Hermione scratched her chin with the quill in her hand, recalling with emotion, "I didn't have much knowledge at the time, and I still felt that Their compilation of magic teaching materials is very reasonable, and there are some areas that are better than Hogwarts."

"Unfortunately, Ellen, the seamstress of the suit you gave me died and became out of print..." Penello curled her lips and showed off unconvincedly. Suddenly she lowered her raised legs and pointed towards one alertly He tilted his head to the side and asked, "Come to Hogwarts for college... from the family you met when you went to the United States in the second grade?"

"Yes, it is Mr. Leonard's niece. She wants to come to study. He has no children himself, but he raised two children, Jessica and Ian, and he grew up with Professor Flitwick’s best friends. Let us take care of... eh?" Allen answered honestly, then noticed Penello's more wary expression, and finally realized what the other party was worried about. He opened his mouth and said, "It's impossible for me and her. Because...that..."

Allen opened his mouth to explain that he and Jessica are quite different in age, but there has never been any ambiguity, but he suddenly realized the situation between himself and Penello, and wisely wanted to change his words, but this kind of hesitating. He looked more suspicious instead.

"Then I'll go with you, I'll be fine anyway..." Penello said without further questioning, and then hesitated for a moment. She looked at Hermione~www.wuxiaspot.com~Miss Know-How, can't you just come here? ? You can just explain the allusions in your head to the other party. "

Hermione's expression became a little dazed and surprised. She never expected Penello to be able to invite her, and seeing that she didn't respond, Penello's long legs kicked out from below, kicking it on Hermione's calf. .

Hermione hissed and stared at Penello in irritation, but saw that the other's wide, round eyes glanced at Ellen. Only then did Hermione recall what Ellen said, and finally reacted to the point. Pay attention to the place.

Knowing that, Hermione poked the fluffy hair with the quill tube and said, "Ellen, since your friend is a witch, Penello and I will also go over and help receive it, otherwise it's all a witch, she It may not be too comfortable."

Alan looked reluctantly at the two people's exaggerated and obvious expressions, trying to say something, but the frustrated voice of Grindelwald next to him sounded first.

"Ellen, you young people can play Floating City and Hogwarts together. I won't join in the fun, and I will entertain her and visit the university when she enrolls."

After speaking, Allen saw that the grandson thief Grindelwald directly abandoned him and slipped away.
