"Bill, Madame Maxime is here!"
When Fleur led Maxim, who had hurriedly arrived at Camp Granger, in from the tent door, Bill was sitting behind his desk, flipping through several report records, pondering to himself. After hearing Furong's words, she put away the sad look on her face and suddenly raised her head.
However, when he saw clearly the face of Maxim who was bending in behind Fleur, he knew that the distress in the other person's heart was probably not much less than his.
"Mrs. Maxim, you... Well, anyway, please sit down first!"
Of course, Bill would not be so stupid as to ask the other party's intention now. After all, the reason for the other party's hurried visit must be the long-distance urgent letter that he personally sent an owl to deliver - in fact, when he decided to write that While writing the letter, he had already considered the possibility that the other party might come over soon.
But to be honest, Mrs. Maxim arrived faster than he expected, and this just illustrates from the side that the cooperation with the living corpse clan in the UK may have a negative impact on the current overall situation in Europe. There will be a more profound impact.
Yes, at least Mrs. Maxim, who is now the president of the International Federation of Wizards, should judge this.
Seeing Bill standing up to invite him, Maxim didn't act too eager anymore. Along the way, she and her first secretary thought carefully about it, and knew that if the contents of the letter were accurate, then this matter would definitely be urgent.
After Fleur helped put the two chairs next to each other together, Maxim sat down first according to Bill's instructions. After Bill also sat down on the opposite side of the long table, she passed over the rather exquisite painting on the long table. The magic sand table looked at each other again.
"Before getting to the point, I have to confirm one thing with you, Mr. Weasley—are the contents you wrote in this letter true?"
As Maxim spoke, he motioned to the first secretary who was standing behind him to take out the letter. However, her secretary didn't know why at this time and seemed to be a little distracted. After being stunned for a moment, she hurriedly took the envelope out of her pocket and placed it on the table in front of Maxim.
"What's wrong?"
Madame Maxime noticed something strange about her and asked softly.
"Oh no, it's okay, you just feel a little cold?" The secretary stroked his forearm and shook his head slightly.
"Sorry," Maxim heard the words and quickly returned to the topic, and heard her continue, "I mean, because the matter is too... shocking, I must get your own answer. This is also The biggest reason I rushed this instead of responding in writing.”
When Mrs. Maxim said these words, her expression looked particularly serious, because she was almost certain that once this matter officially spread, it would cause a huge disturbance throughout Europe.
"I can understand your mood, because before you came here, I have been thinking about some of the huge impacts this matter will have. As for the authenticity of the matter... I can only assure you that what I wrote in my letter Every word I say is true."
Bill's answer did not have exaggerated movements or urgent tone, but anyone could hear the seriousness he instilled in his calmness.
And this immediately made Maxim's mood become even heavier.
After a few seconds of silence, she thought about it, and then couldn't help but reveal a wry smile:
"How should I tell those big and small forces about this?"
During this period of time, Maxim spent a lot of energy in trying to unite as many forces and families as possible with their own agendas. Among the series of reasons she used, the biggest one was the widespread threat posed by the zombie army's attempt to further expand.
But she never expected that those living corpses that were supposed to have an absolutely hostile relationship with humans would actually coexist with humans, or even become friendly and cooperate!
To be honest, whether we look at it from the perspective of strengthening human determination to resist, or from the perspective of clearly distinguishing ourselves from the enemy, this will not be a good change - even if on the surface, the enemy does seem to change all of a sudden. Much less.
After all, the situation behind this disaster is still unclear to Maxim and others. She only knows that there must be a Haierbo who is destined to be an enemy. And at this moment, that guy might be secretly sneering and pushing for all of this to happen!
Maxim thought so and couldn't help but shake his head.
But just when she wanted to say something more, a few more people walked in outside the tent and spoke to her first:
"Madam, maybe you don't need to feel too distressed about the impact of this matter - at least not yet, because for some reasons, this matter should not be made public for the time being."
Naturally, those who came in at this time were Lu Ping and others who were still staying in the camp.
To be honest, since the two boys Enns and Alexander sneaked away not long ago, he and Sirius were very worried. Because I wanted to go to the other side of the strait to find the two of them, I had been working out a plan as quickly as possible today.
But now that Maxim is here, they have no reason not to meet the new president of the federation.
Just after saying something to the other party, Lu Ping immediately turned his head and looked to the other side.
"Bill," he frowned, "you shouldn't have told the public about this so early. Fortunately, Madam Maxime understands the overall situation and the seriousness of the matter... and the inside story of this matter is obviously very complicated. You know, I'm talking about the 'Lord of the Living Corpses'."
"Yes," Bill nodded immediately, "Actually, after sending that letter, I did regret it a little. But Mr. Lupin, after thinking about it, I still feel that Mrs. Maxim should have known about this as early as possible. The matter is necessary! Because it is already very serious, and no matter what changes happen next, it will become more sudden and complicated... If Madam is not informed until then, she will not have time to make any preparations Work!"
There is no doubt about Mrs. Maxim's responsibility. She took the initiative to restart the Federation at the most chaotic moment. She is no worse than anyone who is fighting on the front line, and is even more important. As the direct liaison between the British battlefield and the home front, Bill naturally saw all the efforts of the other party.
Bill did this not only in the hope that the rear would be stable, but also in the hope that Mrs. Maxim's efforts would not be completely useless in this incident.
