Facts have proved that spectators are just spectators after all.

When the head of the Brandt family attacked Akinbad repeatedly, all the wizards in the auditorium stayed away and whispered; when Akinbad openly declared his "betrayal", the wizards in the audience might be surprised.

, or may have suspicions, but still choose to ignore the matter and sit on the sidelines.

And after that, when Luna and Silly Bo also suddenly appeared on the stage, showing strong combat power that ordinary wizards could not resist, these "spectators" even lost their thoughts of gossiping, and each one of them became

A mute who only knows how to shrink his head.

In fact, this is almost a microcosm of the current situation of most of the forces in various countries when the entire European magic world is facing the disaster caused by Haierbo.

"... Inside and outside, most people began to only care about protecting their own interests and safety, and were unwilling to follow my orders to act. From that moment on, I understood that I, the president, had no practical power.

If I continue like this, and eventually bear the blame and punishment for the failure of the entire International Federation of Wizards as president, it may become the last bit of 'value' I can give in this life."

At present, Luna has left the Federation Building with Akinbad, and the two are walking on the coastal road leading to Granger Camp. And just behind them, Ursula and Ida are across the road.

Walk a short distance away and follow slowly, pacing.

The words just now were said by Ajinbad.

Maybe he just held it in for too long and wanted to find a suitable audience to tell the truth frankly. Or maybe, he actually wanted to hear other people's opinions on his experiences.

And it has to be said that Luna is probably the most suitable "complaint" target he can find now.

"So after meeting Miss Brandt, Mr. President, you made up your mind to hold a trial today and put on a great show?"

Luna was talking with great interest as she walked, seemingly still savoring the "wonderful performance" that she herself participated in midway.

"Well," Ajinbad smiled bitterly and shook his head, "'big drama'... yes! This metaphor is very appropriate - there are starring roles, guest roles, supporting roles, and the audience, and almost everyone has a copy in their hearts.

Isn’t it a ridiculous drama if it’s your own script?”

"That's what Bill said!" Luna shrugged.

"Really?" Ajinbad raised his eyebrows, and then turned around and said, "Anyway, I just want to do my best while I am still sitting in the position of president of the federation.

Just do something. I don't dare to hope that after today's words, I can stimulate all the 'audiences' in the venue to stand up and resist - as long as there are a few people who will do something after witnessing today's riot.

When I wake up, I am already satisfied."

Having said this, he couldn't help but sigh, and then turned to look at the blond girl next to him, who was almost the same age as his grandson, and said gratefully:

"Smart Miss Lovegood, although I must thank you for standing up today and adding effect to my final sacrifice in that way, and even brought me out alive. But... now even you can't

It is equivalent to publicly announcing the connection with Haierbo. Is all this... really worth it?"

Luna smiled easily after hearing what he said.

"Of course it's worth it!" She stroked her long hair and gestured toward the other side of the English Channel. "I didn't mainly want to help you, Mr. President, get away! In fact, I just feel that many people now seem to

Too much reliance on Maka, Harry, and Hermione, and this is the biggest reason why everyone is unwilling to take the initiative to resist the disaster."

"'Dependence'." When Ajinbad heard this, he paused for a moment, then nodded repeatedly, "Yes! That's so right, it is indeed 'dependence'!"

"So!" Luna continued, "If they suddenly find that the people they once relied on may no longer be reliable, will they realize that they have to rely on themselves next?

"

Speaking of this, she suddenly pointed to the tip of her nose, and scratched her head somewhat embarrassedly - her long, silky pale blond hair suddenly became a little messy.

"Although I'm actually not that powerful! But I am also a good friend of Hermione, Harry, and Neville. Today I did that... Do you think everyone will gradually think of Hermione and the others afterwards?

Take it with you?"

To be honest, Ajinbad really didn't expect that what Luna did before was not an act caused by impulse.

He originally thought that Luna could see through his plan on the way, which was already amazing. But who knew, this girl seemed to have already thought through every step, even the changes that might happen afterwards.

It's clear to the chest.

"Indeed," Akinbad admired in his heart, and nodded again and again, "for today's trial, I not only invited powerful members of the magic circles from various countries, but also many reporters from magic newspapers. I believe that today's trial will be held

Everything that happens in the venue will be spread throughout Europe with amazing efficiency - you know, those reporters always like to add spice to their reports, no matter what we end up being written about, I won't be surprised!

"

"At least my dad won't talk nonsense in his magazine. What he writes are all facts that he has personally investigated!" Luna wrinkled her nose, but for some reason, she couldn't help but tilt her head in the end and added

He said, "Well, that should be the case."

Almost at the same time, Mr. Lovegood, who was writing a manuscript in a house in the refuge community, shook his hand and accidentally touched the ink bottle placed aside with his elbow. There was only a splash and a thick flow of ink.

He covered most of the table and dyed many manuscripts piled on the table into waste paper.

"oh!"

He subconsciously screamed, but then put down his quill and sighed helplessly - ever since he came here and started to live as a refugee, "The Quibbler" has completely entered a state of indefinite suspension. These manuscripts have

If it's dirty, it's just dirty! It won't be of much use anyway.

After waving his wand and getting most of the ink back into the bottle, he stood up and walked to the window with a sense of disappointment, facing the unchanging deserted streets outside and muttering:

"My dear little Luna, nothing will happen to you! Dad is here to pray for you... But who should I pray to? Merlin?"

In the end, he couldn't help but sigh and shook his head.
