To be honest, Ajinbad, as the current president of the International Federation of Wizards, has long wanted to abdicate in his heart.

Faced with such a major disaster befalling Western Europe, even Britain, which had eliminated two major dark wizards in recent years and whose status in the international wizarding world was rising steadily, collapsed and was completely destroyed. Although he, Babajide Akinbad, had some problems with asking himself,

Ability, but after several unremitting efforts, all he got was pain. No matter what, he couldn't see the future of leading the entire magic world to victory.

Perhaps the position of President of the Federation should have been given to a more gifted and capable wizard long ago - such as the new generation of powerful genius Maka McClain.

But who would have known that when Ajinbad was trying to contact Maca about this matter some time ago, the latter disappeared. Not only that, but because of the intensification of this disaster, most of Europe was plunged into chaos.

Since there is no way to hand over the position of general president to Maka, then at least we have to find a relatively healthy person to take it, right? He suffered a disability due to the basilisk incident in Africa. It has to be said that now he has obviously become disabled.

It is difficult to be qualified for this crucial position of president.

However, when he took the initiative to propose a candidate to replace the president at the meeting, no one voted in favor - it was clear that when Dumbledore resigned, the group of members at the meeting table were all arguing openly and secretly.

Rob, but now she seems to have turned into a humble and reserved lady and gentleman.

Although... it's no wonder, after all, there is a disaster at hand, how many people dare to sit on this pile of red-hot coals?

"Crack."

Ajinbad crumpled the half-written topic into a ball again, threw it to the paper basket aside, and then couldn't help but sigh slightly.

In the past two weeks, the Federation has not really accomplished anything. This is not only because Hermione and Maxim's establishment of the Rebel Alliance took the initiative to take on some responsibilities that should have been borne by the Federation, but also because

, the International Federation of Wizards has begun to see individual inactivity and even departmental shutdowns.

However, he still didn't have a good solution.

“Tuk-tuk-tuk.”

After throwing away the waste paper, Ajinbad was squeezing his forehead and thinking about something, but suddenly, there was a knock on the door, interrupting his useless thinking.

"who?"

He raised his head slightly and asked, and then heard the secretary's voice coming from outside the office door.

"Mr. President, a ragged young lady suddenly arrived in the lobby on the first floor. She said... that she wanted to see you urgently, Mr. President. However, sir... I personally think it's better not to meet her, because...

…The receptionist checked the database and confirmed that it should be 'that' lady from the Brandt family in Germany."

Although the Federation has not been doing anything serious recently, this is still the International Federation of Wizards after all, and there will definitely not be too much information that should be collected.

What's more, people from the Federation were involved in the incident where Beauxbatons' living corpse appeared.

"Ida Brandt?"

Ajinbad sat behind his desk and hesitated for a moment, then said:

"Anyway, you come in first!"

"Okay, Mr. President."

Before the words were finished, the office door opened immediately, and the secretary who came to inform came in from the outside.

"Did you go down and see the person in person? Are there no traces of being a living corpse on her body?"

As Ajinbad asked, he casually pulled out another piece of parchment, wrote a few words in a hurry, then picked up the wand and waved it. Suddenly, the parchment folded itself and turned into a flying bird, flapping its wings and crossing over.

The secretary's head flew out of the door.

"Describe it for me in detail," he said at last.

…

While the young secretary was explaining the situation downstairs to Ajinbad in the president's office upstairs, Ida Brandt, who had been in the hall of the federation headquarters for a while, seemed a little restless.

In fact, from the time she first arrived at the door until now, no less than ten people have come to see her. But except for the two wizard guards in front of the door, although the other people's positions are getting higher and higher, the words they talk to her are getting more and more...

Few, the total does not seem to exceed twenty sentences.

She was just brought into this small reception room, and more than ten guards came one after another to watch and monitor, which made her feel more and more uncomfortable.

She was even thinking, should she not come directly to the federation like this, but should try her best to find opportunities to meet with Ajinbad in private?

It's a pity that she doesn't have that much time to plan secretly anymore, she must see Ajinbad as soon as possible.

Thinking of this, Ida couldn't help but glance anxiously at the door. Looking past the guards, she could only see the empty hall outside, with only a few people in it.

This federation headquarters is also very busy on weekdays. On weekdays, people usually come and go and it is quite crowded. However, nowadays, the Ministry of Magic in various countries is strengthening protection as much as possible and reducing external exchanges, so there are no people even here.

At this moment, Ida suddenly saw a paper bird for communication flying over from the magic elevator and landing at the front desk.

Not long after, a guard captain who had just come to meet Ida walked toward the reception room with two other federation personnel and stood still at the door.

"Miss Brandt, President Akinbad has learned of your arrival. Please follow me to another place to wait for the president to meet you! Of course, in order to ensure safety, guards must be indispensable...

…These are extraordinary times, so please forgive us for our rude behavior, Miss Brandt.”

"Uh... ok, I understand."

Hearing this, Ida could only nod in agreement, and then stood up. Then she left the reception room under the heavy surveillance of the group of wizard guards, and walked all the way towards the magic elevator.

However, after the elevator started running, she soon discovered that these people seemed to be taking her downstairs...or to be more precise, toward the "underground".

The building of the federation headquarters is built above the ground, and the president's office is naturally on the top floor. So what is there underground in this building... In short, it is definitely not a good place to go.

"Can I... see Mr. Akinbad?"

After realizing this, Ida immediately felt more and more regretful - even if the matter was urgent, she shouldn't have been so reckless. Didn't she suffer enough before?
