"... Before everyone starts the discussion, I have some news that I want to tell you first. Before I left, the lady told me to tell me this information after I met Miss Granger and Miss Lovegood. Come out. So... I'm sorry, Mr. Luping, we have been mostly open and honest along the way, but I did hide this matter to some extent."
In a small living room in Buckingham Palace, when everyone was sitting down one after another and getting ready to talk about business, Rocky Blois, who had always seemed very low-key, was uncharacteristically the one who planned to talk first. Hermione was the first to speak.
However, his words did quickly attract the attention of most people present, because everyone wanted to know what important words the "Miss" in his mouth - that is, Willy - asked him to bring this time. , so that he should be so solemn.
"It doesn't matter," Lupine heard and nodded immediately, "I can understand Miss Blois' cautious attitude, and I also believe that the message she wants you to convey must be of great weight."
However, before he finished speaking, Rocky's expression on the opposite side seemed a little hesitant. He shook his head and said:
"To be honest, I'm actually not sure what this news is... Let's put it this way! The news that the lady wants me to pass on to you is very simple. She speculates that Germany, currently the second battlefield, may soon be unable to hold on. The root cause of this change seems to be... a 'demon'? Sorry, I don't know what that refers to, that's what she told me. And all of this is just the lady's personal conjecture, at least in Before we left, there was no sign of anything to substantiate these claims."
After saying this, Rocky seemed to have finally completed a difficult task. He sat back in his seat with his hands spread out and handed over the problem that had troubled him all the way to the others present.
As for himself, it was obvious that he didn't want to waste any more time thinking about this matter. After all, this was actually not something he needed to consider, his task of carrying the message. It's complete here.
But it was obvious that his words had aroused huge waves in the hearts of Hermione and others.
"Devil?" When Harry heard the word, he couldn't hold it back for the first time and stood up suddenly, leaning on the table. "Did Willie say that? Did she really say the word 'devil'?"
Many people here know more or less that Willy and her father spent some time together with Maka who returned to Hogwarts after the disaster, and they were probably the last two people Maka saw "before her death". . Although Willy did not reveal much to others afterwards, everyone also knew that she might have obtained some information from Maka at the time that most people did not know.
Now it seems that at least she knows a little bit about the "devil".
"Yes," Rocky nodded and confirmed, "That's what the lady said."
For almost all modern wizards, this term will seem a bit unfamiliar—it’s not that they don’t know it, but their understanding of “demon” basically comes from Muggle legends. Even Rocky, who was born in the Blois family, didn't know much about these side knowledge of the ancient magic world that had been almost forgotten for a long time.
But right now, there happens to be a group of young wizards here who have actually fought with more than one demon, and they have an extremely full understanding of the words he conveyed.
"Germany... Demon... Herbo?" Harry chewed these words back and forth. After a while, he finally turned to look at Hermione not far away, "Tell me, which demon could it be?"
However, Hermione, who also pondered for a moment, did not answer the question. After hearing Harry's question, she raised her hand and pressed it gently down on him.
"Harry, please sit down first."
After watching Harry sit back down again, Hermione frowned slightly and said:
"We will discuss this question later. I think... someone will soon give us an accurate enough answer. But before that, what I care more about is Miss Blois' prediction of the changes in the situation in Germany. Judgment."
Having said this, Hermione suddenly turned her head and looked at Lupine, Kingsley and others. Of course, it was actually not necessary for her to speak. When he saw her and looked over, Lu Ping already understood what she wanted to ask.
The latter nodded slightly and said:
"If the actual situation develops as Miss Blois speculated, the next situation will become very bad."
After saying this, Lu Ping immediately turned his head and looked towards Rocky.
"As far as I know, your family is on the second battlefield and has no plans to change its main strategic policy in the near future, right?"
"That's right," Rocky responded, "at least not as far as I know."
Seeing his answer, Lupine turned around again, looked at Hermione and said:
"In this case, we can at least know that Miss Blois is still willing to fight on the second battlefield despite such speculation. Then I think, even if the situation becomes worse than ever, we can still Look forward to it—you know, look forward to the next reaction from all forces."
Wizards with great intelligence like Lupine and Kingsley can obviously see those who fail to respond in great crises. Needless to say, with Hermione's intelligence, she must also be able to see this, otherwise she would not have taken the initiative to create some kind of resistance alliance.
At that time, although she used the sense of crisis to gather some strength, she still failed to inspire the determination of all the onlookers. And now, if even Germany can't hold on anymore, and if the second battlefield really expands again, maybe... this crisis will really break the psychological bottom line of most people.
but…
"However," Hermione understood Lupin's thoughts, although she immediately expressed understanding, she quickly shook her head and said, "Perhaps a sufficient price must be paid to allow the vast majority of stubborn people to have We are aware of this, but what about the innocent victims who are the 'price'? At least we have no right to let anyone pay for other people's mistakes with death."
After saying these words, Hermione stood up as if she had made a decision, looked around at her partners who had been fighting side by side in recent days, and then raised her head and said:
"Weili probably knows what she is doing, but what about us? Killing demons should be what we are doing, right?"
