HP's Foreign Land

one,

Felin was in charge of introducing the next round of wizards who would speak on stage, and Heimdall simply agreed.

Cardiff Bangor, the head of the International Wizarding Examinations Supervision Committee, is very popular in the International Federation of Wizards. When he came on stage, the audience applauded continuously, and more than [-]% of the guests saluted him from the bottom of their hearts.Even Bangor's "old rival", that is, Garcia, who spoke on stage before, has to admit that he is slightly less popular than Bangor.

Because Garcia is a well-behaved wizard.

Bangor was wearing a brand-new maroon wizard robe today. His neat white hair and neat mustache made him look energetic.Bangor didn't have the habit of growing a beard before, and his new look is refreshing.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Happy New Year." Bangor smiled and looked at the audience.

The guests gave warm applause.

"For today's headquarters annual meeting, I put on my best wizard robe." Bangor said seriously.

The audience laughed.Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the maroon wizard robe on Bangor is actually the uniform of the Examination Supervision Committee. This joke really has a deep meaning.

"Before I report to you the results of this year's Wizarding Examination Supervisory Committee according to the scriptures, I have to talk about some of my views on this year's annual meeting. I can tell you frankly that the most dissatisfied thing about this year's annual meeting is the host. "Bangor said angrily and looked at the hosting platform.

The lights at that end flicked on.

Fei Lin felt as if he was facing a formidable enemy, his eyes were wide open, and he had no time to wander off.

Heimdall told himself not to panic, that was Chairman Bangor, and he would never openly challenge himself on such an occasion.Even so, he was still a little apprehensive, but his expression remained calm, not as sensitive and vivid as Flynn's. Pretentiousness is a compulsory course for becoming a wizard judge.

"Mr. Sturluson said just now that he and Chairman Garcia are old acquaintances, and I am also an old acquaintance with him. Our acquaintance was even before he met Chairman Garcia, that is, an old acquaintance. He didn't introduce me like that?! It’s so sad that I was led to the stage by just saying some polite words in an understatement!” Bangor looked heartbroken.

The audience in the audience watched Bangor make a fuss with amusement.

"Chairman Bangor," Heimdall said, cooperating with Bangor's playfulness. "Since we are old acquaintances, there is no need to mention it deliberately. Some things are tacit enough, don't you think?"

"That's how this kid can talk," Bangor's eyes fell to the audience again. "I'm getting old, so I don't want to embarrass young people anymore. Let me summarize the work of the Wizard Examination Supervisory Committee..." He suddenly turned his head, "Why are you a three-good student? I remember you didn't go back to get the first place in your grade. One, and it’s serious.”

The audience burst into laughter.

Heimdall smiled helplessly.

Bangor seemed to come back to his senses suddenly, and said embarrassingly: "Where did you just say? Oh, yes, I'm sorry, I just can't hide my words in my heart. Don't get me wrong, Sturluson He is indeed an excellent student, please forget what you said just now. Thank you. I will continue with my work report."

The lights above the presiding stage dimmed, and the two masters of ceremonies relaxed at the same time.

Ferrin, who had been reduced to a supporting role in the previous interaction, couldn't care less about envy and hatred. Heimdall's notebook replaced the reminder card and she continued to tremble with fear. She suspected that it was caused by the navy blue that refused to let go.This is not the rhythm of venting her anger, it is clearly embarrassing to drag her into the water with embarrassment.Felin clenched his fists, and the sad scene of navy blue's face being scratched flashed through his mind, feeling very relieved.She gritted her teeth in her heart, if the situation was as expected, if she really made a fool of herself at the headquarters annual meeting because of this, she would definitely make that woman look good!

Cardiff Bangor's speech came to an end in the imagination of Filin's colorful revenge plan, and Heimdall's applause woke up Filin's distracted mind again.Fei Lin was frightened into a cold sweat by herself, and now that she is able to desert without restraint, is she fearless in the face of danger or lack of understanding?

Heimdall applauded. "Thank you, Chairman Cardiff Bangor."

"Thank you very much." Ferlin greeted with a smile.

After the light changed, the presiding stage became the focus again.

In an office in another place at the same time, a man and a woman are restless to varying degrees because they are concerned about the progress of the same thing. Jacob Moreau is always absent-minded when he lowers his head and pretends to concentrate on his work. Navy Blue looks up from time to time hanging on the wall. The look on his face was a mixture of anticipation and excitement that bewildered others.

two,

The pantomime "My Wand" performed by the "Imitator" Wizard Children's Troupe from Greece won the unanimous praise of the audience, and the applause was endless.The oldest actor in this performance is 12 years old, and the youngest is only 3 years old.

Heimdall said with emotion, "My son is also three years old. I didn't expect a three-year-old child to be able to memorize plots and perform pantomime."

"Don't underestimate the child's memory." After Ferlin finished speaking, he became uneasy, because it was Heimdall's turn to speak next.

After a period of observation and research, Filin was 100% sure that there might be something wrong with Stulusson's cue card, otherwise he would not discard it. Could it be that his notebook is richer and more accurate than the cue card?Therefore, now Feilin is not nervous about whether he will make mistakes, but puts all his heart on his partner, worrying about what his partner is anxious about, thinking about what his partner thinks, remembering that she had to study day and night in order to successfully enter the International Wizengamot. Not so fully committed.

Fortunately, Heimdall's performance is worthy of what he once said, "My memory is not bad." Ferring has never thanked God for giving Heimdall a brain that knows how to adapt.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you may not know much about the Imitator Wizard Children's Troupe. Let me briefly introduce it here." Heimdall leaned behind the host stage, with his arms bent and elbows on the table, giving An illusion of relaxation and leisure, the head of the room is actually quite drumming in his heart.

"Imitator was founded in 1992. The founder is the famous Greek wizard stage performance artist Ms. Skaya. The troupe has won various awards, such as the group award of the Greek wizard stage style award in 94, and the group award in 95. The Golden Medal of the Southern European Wizarding Children's Art Festival, and the International Wizarding Arts Festival held in Luxembourg this June, performed on the same stage with the adult group, and finally won the silver award in the group group. The children's performances are outstanding, and the pursuit of art never stops , it is worth mentioning that more than half of the children in the troupe were born unable to use any magic, and one third of the children did not reach the average level in the magic test, but they are still active in the wizarding world, let us thank you again with warm applause' The wonderful performance of the Imitators troupe, and thanks to them for not being discouraged and interpreting a different life in the way they can!"

There was thunderous applause from the audience, and the emotions of the guests were pushed to a climax.

Ms. Feilin seemed to be infected by her partner's introduction. Driven by the applause, she was full of enthusiasm and her face was full of emotion, but her heart was full of enthusiasm: "Emma, ​​another section passed smoothly."

After the venue quieted down, the lights changed quietly, which was a hint to the next session and a reminder to the host.

Feilin quickly adjusted his emotions and said, "Children are the future."

Heimdall added, "whether he or she is a wizard or a Muggle."

Film added, "The children's eyes reflect the light and shadow of the adult world."

"Whatever he or she sees, the mountains and the valleys."

"The words of children mirror the thoughts of adults."

"Whether it's good or bad."

"We are responsible to the next generation."

"Children are the future." Heimdall smiled slightly. "I would like to invite Mr. Ahmed Bashir, the leader of the project leader group of the International Wizarding Children's Foundation."

Backstage through the curtain, Ali and the members of the annual meeting planning and organizing team paid attention to every move on the stage through a limited space, even the spots of light projected on the stage were recorded in their minds one by one, compared with the previous rehearsal .

The first person who noticed something was wrong was a staff member who was responsible for reviewing the host's speech and recording the key content on the cue card, with a not too exaggerated afro head.His way of focusing on key points has always been different. When other colleagues were worried about the stage effect, he squinted his eyes and muttered in his heart that Filin's legs were not long enough, and IW's wizard robe seemed a little bloated; when other colleagues were worried about the host When the ability to control the field is not enough to interact with the heads of various organizations, he thinks that Heimdall's tone of voice is too loose, and training in this area should be strengthened; when other colleagues applaud the host's performance, he is annoyed to find that Heimdall Mudar didn't use the cue cards he worked so hard to make.

"What's that in Stulusson's hand? What's the use of that broken book?! Where's my cue card?" Afro felt that his work had not received due respect.

"Maybe Strulusson thinks that the cue card you made will affect his performance." Someone disagreed.

"There is no better reminder than the cue card I made!" the afro emphasized with a glare.

"The problem is that you saw that Sturlusson didn't use the cue cards you made, and he has performed well since the beginning, so you don't have to worry at all." The staff member turned a blind eye to his rage, and he thought the explosion The head is fine and loves to make a fuss, and this time is definitely no exception.

Seeing that the afro turned his target towards himself, Ali quickly said, "I didn't give him any hint of rebellion. I can guarantee that I will hand over the cue card to them both."

Afro finally snorted helplessly, "I hate today's young people who emphasize extreme individualism, put their personal spirit on the lips every day, advocate the freedom of the so-called independent individual, don't know the good and bad regardless of the importance, and don't know how to maintain collective glory. We are people on the same boat, so he doesn't worry that if he accidentally falls into the water, the people on the boat will abandon him because of his selfishness?"

"Isn't it okay if he doesn't throw himself into the water?" It was that colleague who always sang a different tune.

The afro had already lost his temper after being complained by him, and he kept a cold face without saying a word.

A colleague who was in charge of communicating with the maintenance department during the construction of the stage came over to watch a few times with great interest. He waited patiently for their conversation to come to an end before he squeezed beside Ali and asked in a low voice, "Mr. Can you send me the prompt card for the question?"

Ali glanced at it indifferently, "Take it...wait!" Ali grabbed the person who was about to turn and walk away.

The colleague looked bewildered.

"Show me." Ali pointed to the cue card.

When he took the cue card in his hand, he was surprised to see the S written on the last page, which was to distinguish the initials of the surname written on the cue card, and it was written by Ali himself.Ali wondered, before the annual meeting, he seemed to have only written two teleprompters, and now those two are in the hands of Strulusson and Filin, so where did this teleprompter with the same initials come from? ?

Ali repeatedly confirmed that it was indeed his own handwriting.

"Where did you get that?" Ali asked.

"Recycling Office at Maintenance."

As mentioned earlier, in order to prevent accidents, the cue card is enchanted in advance. It cannot be burned or torn, and the order will not be disturbed. It is not surprising that this thing appears in the garbage collection office. Nowhere else to go, but that's after the annual meeting.

At this time, the colleagues around noticed what Ali was holding, and the explosive head snatched the cue card, and the surprise was beyond words.

"This is the cue card I made, why did you come here?!"

"Are you sure you did it yourself?" Ali asked.

"How can I not know what I make, needless to say, the feel is undeniable!" Exploding head said firmly.

Ali was silent for a moment, "Here is the reminder card with S written on it, so what is it in Sturlusson's hand?"

Everyone looked at each other.

The colleague who disagreed with the Afro said: "Now he is holding a notebook that we have never seen before."

"Could it be that Sturlusson forgot to bring the cue card?" Afro murmured.

"We still held it when we first came on stage, we all saw it." Ali quickly denied his guess.

Even if I forgot to bring it, why did the cue card appear in the garbage collection office?House elf mishandling?Doubts abound.

"...I have a bad guess in my mind." Someone muttered.

three,

After Mr. Bashir finished his speech, the work of the next two wizards was related to the protection of wizard children. From education to wizard children, the themes of the paragraphs of the annual conference have always been linked together.

After the children's theme ended, the organizers of the annual meeting designed an interspersed link with Muggle items. This link appeared for the first time at the annual meeting last year, with the purpose of introducing some items suitable for wizards from the Muggle world into this world. , during which wizards are transformed, so that they can be accepted by most wizards, and they are used to camping in their lives, and one day in the future, they will become common and even indispensable objects for wizards.

For example, the theme of last year's exhibition - the telephone. Although the telephone was gradually promoted among wizards before last year, very few wizards knew about it and accepted it without any worries to participate in changing their lives.The promotion of the telephone is in a state of polarization. On the one hand, the degree of its promotion in government departments is quite gratifying;

The appearance at the annual meeting of the headquarters of the International Federation of Wizards is a sign that the phone has officially settled in the wizarding world. In other words, after a series of investigations and experiments, the International Federation of Wizards has decided to give wizards the legal right to use the phone.It is no longer heresy or crime for wizards to use the telephone.Of course, after the meeting, many wizards still rigidly expressed their disapproval, and emphasized that they would not use it, but it is undeniable that the unexpected display at the headquarters annual meeting provided a bright and broad prospect for the phone.

It is said that the U.S. Department of Magic on the other side of the ocean realized the establishment of an internal wizard telephone network as early as the late 80s to the early 90s. The U.S. Department of Magic has abandoned the paper airplanes and paper birds flying around its head, and no longer imitates them. The International Federation of Wizards' squirrel express, whose breeding and management fees are increasing day by day, is like a computer local area network. The internal wizarding telephone network designed and built by the United States Ministry of Magic only transmits the internal information of the Ministry of Magic.

So at the annual meeting of the headquarters last year, the branch chairman from the United States was one of the few senior government officials who suddenly saw the phone without making a fuss.

The person in charge of the International Muggle Object Monitoring and Management Committee came to the stage energetically, and introduced to everyone that after a one-year selection by the Muggle Item Monitoring and Management Committee, it was surpassed by the 197 member states of the International Federation of Wizards. A new magically altered item unanimously approved and recommended by half of the Muggle Item Control Authority: the Wizarding Television.

As was the case last year, the uproar broke out after a brief silence.

Before the annual meeting, due to time constraints, Heimdall and Firing only participated in two rehearsals, and the speeches of the heads of various institutions were ignored during the rehearsal process, so he could not know the specific operation of this link in advance, nor did he know Recommended content by the Muggle Object Control Board.

TV set?

To be honest, Heimdall would be very happy to buy a wizard TV set from a wizard store or other places one day in the future. He looks forward to retaining Victor’s heroic appearance on the field through the TV screen, and in the future There are countless opportunities to replay the days.

If the popularity of the telephone gives wizards a third choice besides letter paper and fireplaces, then the emergence of television sets will completely break the framework of newspapers and books and achieve new opportunities. several new industries.Thinking about it this way, the prospect will be chaotic and vigorous.

Some people are happy that someone is worried.

The emergence of wizard TV not only makes wizards who are willing to try new things eager to try, but also makes the centrists reserve their opinions. The title of "fighter" - chest tightness, shortness of breath, feeling like sitting on pins and needles.

The person in charge of the International Wizard Lineage Tracing Research Center was the first person to question Gao Daquan’s headquarters annual meeting. In fact, many wizards did not know that there was such a permanent institution in the Wizarding Union, and there was another group of wizards who had been Doubting the existence value of this institution.Anyway, it's been around for a long time, and it's said to be pretty old...at least longer than the Muggle Object Control Board.

"Ah, Mr. Beize." Harper, the head of the International Muggle Object Monitoring and Management Committee, smiled slightly. "What advice do you have?"

Bei Ze, the director of the International Wizarding Lineage Tracing Research Center, said unhappily: "I don't think it is necessary to introduce a Muggle machine on such an important occasion as the annual meeting of the headquarters of the International Federation of Wizards. I have written to the Federation of Wizards many times this year. It is a pity to see this session retained here today, having requested that it be removed from regular meetings to be discussed."

The wizards present had different expressions when they heard this. Some clearly agreed, some silently agreed, some thought he was making a fuss out of a molehill, and some stayed out of it, drifted with the flow, and gloated.The wizards gloating over their misfortune had a very simple idea. As a result of writing to the letter many times, they saw the appearance of TV sets today. The answer was quite clear, and Beize was obviously determined to go his own way.

Harper adjusted his glasses on the bridge of his nose, smiling unabated. He was a tall and strong man, and the wide wizard robe could not hide his thick shoulders, but he was gentle and gentle, and his speech and movements were neither fast nor slow, and he looked very elegant .When he looks at you, you can't help but smile along with his gentle expression, and can't help but pour out the words in your heart to him.

He was able to disarm others inadvertently. It would be a waste for this person not to develop in the police force. This was Heimdall's impression when he first met Harper.

"It's called a television," Harper corrected.

Beze became even more unhappy, and his lips were pursed into a straight line.

"I request that this link be canceled immediately, otherwise I will leave the venue and refuse to participate in the next annual meeting activities." Bei Ze said firmly.

How to do? !

Ferrin looked at Heimdall, who quietly followed the curtain, but there was no movement there.Heimdall decided to remain silent.

Harper shrugged at the center of the stage, "Tomorrow is the beginning of a new year. Today we let go of the unpleasant past. Do you think it's okay, Mr. Baize?"

"The appearance of that thing made me feel insulted!" Beze ignored Harper's little weakness, as if there was no room for negotiation.

There was movement behind the curtain, and the lights on the host stage came on.

Heimdall suddenly said, "Mr. Bezer, Mr. Harper's display today does not represent his personal wishes, but represents the common wishes of the International Muggle Substance Monitoring and Management Committee and the colleagues of the 197 branches. It's not fair that likes and dislikes demand compliance from Mr. Harper. Do you think so?"

"I represent the International Center for the Study of Witch Lineage Tracing!" Beze glared at Heimdall.

"Are you saying that you are going to stir up conflicts between the two institutions with today's debate that must come to a conclusion? At the annual headquarters meeting of the International Federation of Wizards?" Heimdall blinked suggestively. .

Beze stopped talking, he finally realized how reckless and impulsive his actions were, and what he was sitting here was not representing himself, but a whole structure.Just when he had to bear the unpredictable gazes from all directions and was unable to get off, Heimdall spoke again.

"Please sit down, Mr. Bezer." Heimdall said lightly and turned to Harper. "Please go on, Mr. Harper."

Harper smiled slightly, "Thank you, Mr. Sturluson."

The lights above the podium dimmed.

In the dimness, Heimdall let out a deep breath, and then seized the opportunity to make a terrifying gesture to the back of the curtain to pass safely.

Ali behind the curtain turned around and said, "Did you see my gesture just now?"

Afro said, "I see."

Others also nodded.

"What do you think it means?" Ali asked.

"Stop the annual meeting?" The afro looked at others uncertainly, and most people thought so.

"Why didn't Sturluson act according to my request?" Ali asked calmly.

"I don't think he deliberately disobeyed your orders, he completely misunderstood the meaning of your gestures." The staff member who confronted the afro said.

Ali looked down at the pause gesture he was making.

The staff member added, "Based on the results, he thought you asked him to find a way to stop the argument between the two."

Ali smiled beamingly, "Exceeded expectations..." It's a pity that he wanted to take advantage of the pause to call Strulusson to the backstage.

In other words, the head of the office was clever but was mistaken by his cleverness, and he missed the best time to get the cue card back.

Worse still, he didn't know about it.
