Unlike most cities in the UK that are already immersed in deathly silence and desolation, Germany has just faced the invasion of zombies recently and still has the right to struggle hastily in the chaos.
Most of the large areas in the west, centered on the cities of Cologne and Essen, have been evacuated under the guidance of the Muggle army. However, due to time constraints, a large number of residents are still in the towns and urban areas that have been sealed off. wait.
Nowadays, the presence of wizards is no longer uncommon in the Muggle world - yes, at least in places such as Germany, which is on the verge of disaster, many things have been jointly discussed by the Ministry of Magic and the Muggle government, and have been disclosed to the public through public media.
Transferring people naturally requires the cooperation of the people. Under such circumstances, the "Secret Law", which was once regarded as a guideline by most wizards, has finally become a piece of waste paper.
Unfortunately, this way of lifting the "imprisonment" is obviously not what people want.
Today, in Cologne, which has not been able to completely evacuate the people, every street is still under the control of the military. The remaining people waiting to be transferred have been temporarily resettled in several designated residential areas near the east side.
The whole city seemed extremely depressing.
"Do you think the Brandt family really intends to live or die with Germany this time?"
On the second floor of an unoccupied building, which is still a short distance away from the designated residential area to be transferred, there are several people in strange clothes who are not Muggles at first glance. One of them is standing by the window, opening the curtains and peeking out at will. .
While looking at the Muggle military patrol vehicles that occasionally passed by outside, he chatted with his companions behind him.
"Who knows?" Another woman sitting at the coffee table lit a cigarette and puffed away. After a moment, she replied vaguely and lazily, "At the federation headquarters, Maxim used to play with the bottom of the cauldron. It’s quite beautiful, the Brandt family is now... well, I can’t say, after all, almost all of their Fire Dragon Legion has been dispatched, and they really have the momentum to fight to the death.”
"Yes!" The wizard by the window shrugged, "Anyway, most of the Brandt family's roots are in Germany, and they really don't have many choices. I just don't know that they and I have already tricked them. How long can Maxim's cooperation last? I'm not optimistic about the temperaments of the Brandts... So I say, let's leave this dangerous place as soon as possible!"
"Not urgent."
Suddenly, the strong man who was half lying on the bed in the room with his eyes closed suddenly spoke.
"As long as the stalemate continues, the International Federation of Wizards headed by Maxim and the German Muggle Chancellery will not agree to the Brandt family taking a step back... We can stay here and see."
Having said this, he paused for a moment, then finally opened his eyes and said thoughtfully:
"What's more, the current actions of the Blois family are also very intriguing... I just got the news that Maxim obtained the support of the Blois family for the Brandt family... no, to be precise, for Germany! Look , she actually invited reinforcements from the Blois family?"
"So what?" The lazy lady holding a slender cigarette shook her head and said, "The Blois family can lend a helping hand to the Brandt family just for the sake of right and wrong, and I don't want to I think they can send too much fighting power. And if the aid is not enough, do you think you can stop those evil things from taking down Britain in one fell swoop against the power of Hogwarts?"
"This is the truth."
The man by the window seemed to agree.
"Tsk, then what are you going to do?" The strong man on the bed clicked his tongue and said slightly annoyed, "First, you sit on the shore and watch the UK go up in flames, and then you watch the Netherlands and Denmark disappear inexplicably... Now it's Germany's turn. Why, are we just watching? I bet that over the past few days, we have probably been regarded by some guys as florob caterpillars that can only shrink their heads and spit!"
Seeing that the strong man was angrily throwing away a basket of cigarettes, the lady holding a cigarette finally took out the cigarette with two fingers, sighed and said seriously:
"Yes, I know what you mean. Some things are in front of you. How can I not understand? If you retreat again and again, sooner or later you will inevitably retreat... I just haven't thought about the future. How should I live?"
Speaking of this, she elegantly brushed her hair on her cheeks, but her expression became a little distressed.
"When the International Confederation of Wizards was established, all of us, including the Blois family, had a share. The promulgation of the "International Confederation of Wizards Secrecy Law" was signed by every one of us... Facts have replaced it. The old men and women in our respective families have proved that this kind of trick can only be perfunctory. Now, even if the disaster can be solved, do we have to come up with a new bill to continue to fool people? ?"
"And it may not be solved yet."
I don’t know if he was deliberately throwing cold water on him, but the man by the window interrupted again, but received a cold look from the lady in return.
"Okay, okay, I won't say anymore... you continue!"
He waved his hand casually and then turned his head away.
But who knew, the lady immediately repeated his words.
"That's right, it may not be solved yet." She spread her hands, and the smoke lingered between her fingers, drawing another haze in front of her. "So... even if you want to take action, you have to wait until you have fully considered it, right? Although there are some It sounds too selfish to say it, but after all, the tentacles of disaster have not reached over our heads. Since the people at Hogwarts have no time to think too far, at least we can still think about it for them. —What do you think?"
As for this, she didn't seem to really want to hear the answers from the other two people, and then she waved her hand again and said:
"Needless to say, if you hadn't thought about it this way, you wouldn't have just seen it in the dark like me, right?"
After he finished speaking, the room became a little quiet. Obviously, what the lady said is indeed correct - even if the reasons may not be the same, the results are the same, so they have no excuse to refute.
Yes, unless they lie without conscience just to save face... Fortunately, they don't seem to be like that.
After a few minutes of silence, the strong man on the bed suddenly frowned and finally took the lead to break the dead silence in the room.
"By the way, I have a new piece of news that I have just received. You may be interested - Ivermorny in the United States seems to have some new moves. I suggest you all pay attention to it."
As soon as he said this, the other two people's eyes changed almost at the same time, and they suddenly turned to look at him.
