"It's coming very quickly? Are everyone entering? So far, who are the representatives who haven't arrived yet?"
Upstairs in the old venue, Akinbad was sitting by the window with Kingsley and Mrs. Maxim, looking at the situation downstairs. Another secretary to the French Minister of Magic was currently telling them softly about the current situation of the venue they had just observed below.
Because when the Federation held this first general meeting, the "Secret Law" had not yet been proposed, and wizards were living together with Muggles normally. This mansion, where the first conference was held, was also built on the ground in an ordinary way like Muggle buildings.
But now, whether it is the venue downstairs or the entire mansion, even if it was protected by magic such as the Muggle Expelling Curse afterwards, it is gradually on the verge of being abandoned because it has not been used for many years.
Just looking at the thorny appearance of the huge front yard downstairs, Akinbad and others couldn't help but feel emotional - to be honest, although the vast majority of wizards and wizards are strictly enforcing the "Secrecy Act", who can Don’t you want to go back to living openly and openly in the vast and prosperous world outside
To put it bluntly, everyone hopes that one day they can lift the ridiculous prohibitions in the "Secrecy Act" and live freely, right
"Actually, although I did choose this meeting address, it was McClain who proposed the idea of holding a meeting on the ground... Now, I think we should all have a deep understanding of his intentions."
Even though the real purpose has not been revealed yet, Akinbad's words and the scene in front of her have made Mrs. Maxim vaguely aware of the purpose of this emergency joint meeting.
"Mr. Akinbad—"
Even though the tall Maxim had to sit on the table because of his figure, he still showed the unique elegant posture of a French lady, and nothing he said or did made anyone feel abrupt.
She tilted her head and looked effortlessly out the window at the scene of representatives from various countries walking in the jungle-like front yard, but a trace of worry appeared on her face at some point.
"McLean... is he coming over soon?"
Even though she never wanted to admit her ancestry, to be honest, she was probably the smartest giant hybrid wizard in the world.
Otherwise, she would not have been able to securely pass the vote of the Board of Directors and take up the post of principal of Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry amid many controversies.
After more or less sensing the key to this meeting, Maxim soon realized that "whether Maca will appear in this meeting in person" will definitely directly affect the final outcome of this meeting.
But when she asked casually, Akinbad and Kingsley, two equally intelligent men, suddenly looked at each other, and then both shook their heads.
"Madam, you are an old friend of Hogwarts and MacLean. I might as well tell you the truth," Akinbad said, "We don't know whether MacLean will attend the meeting... Probably, He also has to look at the flow of the meeting to make a decision, right?"
If Maka suddenly appeared in this international conference, the scene would be very subtle if you think about it.
Logically speaking, with Maka's current status, if she were normally qualified to participate in the meeting, no one would say anything. But if you suddenly attend such a hasty and special occasion today, I'm afraid everyone will immediately whisper in their hearts that something troublesome is going to happen.
Due to the large and small movements of Haier waves, they are basically carried out along the surrounding coasts centered on the North Atlantic, and the hardest-hit areas are mainly in Europe.
In areas that have not been harassed at all, they must not pay that much attention to this kind of trouble.
But think about it, no matter how terrifying Haierbo is, his abilities alone are limited. In this regard, I am afraid that there will not be a small number of legislators who sat on the sidelines during this meeting.
Therefore, if Maka came on stage with a major proposal to abolish the "Secrecy Act", the scene would probably be quite embarrassing.
It was precisely because Maka understood this that he asked Kingsley to make a judgment on whether he needed to come forward, and even if he really wanted to come out, he had to find the right time.
At this moment, Maka was waiting silently in the observation room in Spiral Town.
"Um… "
While everyone was looking out the window with their own thoughts, Kingsley suddenly said:
"It's almost time, I should go down and take a seat first."
At a time when all the official members of the wizarding world from various countries had not yet arrived, but there were already a lot of people in the venue, he sneaked in quietly - this was his first task today.
This kind of thing is simple to say, but it is actually quite difficult at the moment. After all, the disaster in the British wizarding world can be regarded as an international event that has attracted the attention of many countries recently.
As for Kingsley Shacklebolt, who took office as the new British Minister of Magic at a critical moment, although no one knows it yet, he was busy fighting against enemies as the head of the Auror Office, and even served as the secretary to the Muggle Prime Minister and a secret wizard in the past. When the Ministry was working as a Muggle liaison officer, he showed his face frequently.
"Speak carefully!"
After Akinbad's kind reminder, Kingsley pursed his lips and nodded. After straightening his bald head, he turned around and walked out of the room step by step.
Because the meeting was held in the venue on the second floor, there was no one on the third floor except for a few people from the French Ministry of Magic walking around.
In addition, Kingsley didn't know anyone here, so he didn't speak until he went down to the second floor.
But when he walked all the way to the corridor outside the venue that was specially cleaned and repaired today and covered with bright red velvet carpets, he finally met a few male and female witches and wizards who were familiar to him among the many delegates who seemed strange but somewhat familiar. .
For example, Giotto, the Italian representative and president of the International Alchemy Society.
"Oh! Mr. Shacklebolt?"
As the president of the International Alchemy Society, which is said to have the least presence in the world, Giotto actually has little reputation in the Federation.
Although he was indeed a real alchemist, and for this reason he served as an official member of the Italian Union Congress, because his works have almost no practical value, it is even harder for people to remember.
However, he has always had close contacts with many famous British wizards. He also attended Dumbledore's public funeral ceremony.
Of course, perhaps his lack of presence was his inherent attribute in this life, so that not many people noticed him.
Kingsley was the one responsible for receiving him at that time, and because of this small fate, the two of them knew each other.
When they met outside the venue, Giotto took the initiative to greet Kingsley.
