Chapter 1121: The Rise That Began in the Giggle Tavern (Sincere Thanks to Alliance Leader Shangxian Qitian)
On the stage, Grevis's sonorous voice and the content of his speech attracted many wizards who had been drinking and talking in other seats, and even the giant, who could not speak human language very well, was infected by the atmosphere, and straightened his body slightly to let his eyes easily pass over the wizards in front of him.
"We need to make the Magic Congress more active and stronger, just as Britain across the ocean has been able to get this development in a short period of time... A Parliament with foresight, a Congress with the courage to develop on its own, a Congress with the courage to stand up to foreign enemies!" Graves watched Chamberlain try to speak again, he shook his head and asked rhetorically, "Arthur, since the beginning of this revolution at Hogwarts, before this Pig Wart House rose into the sky, many Ilvermorny people have had the idea of transferring schools... They forgot the story of the founder of Isol Sayr..."
"Rigidity Fuji! I can't understand that just because of these historical reasons, we should give up the opportunity to become stronger? Only backwardness can make history play out again, and only when we are strong can we not be arbitrarily bullied!" Chamberlain stubbornly stood up and retorted, and the chestnut hair on the top of his head trembled a few times because of overexcitement, "Those who plan to leave the United States now, leaving Ilvermorny are not traitors, they are also for the sake of the United States to be strong again!"
"Yes, these people are doing the facts, and they will bring back advanced technology!"
"America is a land of freedom! Wizards have the freedom to choose their own future!"
Greaves clasped his hands in front of him, calmly waited for the yelling to subside for a long time, looked at Chamberlain and asked, "Arthur, can you tell me how you did when Ilvermorny graduated?"
"Except for the Majj study, my grades were excellent. Chamberlain said proudly that such a result was completely handy, and basically most of the professions were open to him and could be chosen by him.
"Your amazing talent is enviable... I have to admit it first... In my heart, Ilvermorny, once the best magic school in the world, is now going through difficult times..."Grevis's voice lowered, "So Arthur, if a genius like you is willing to go to England with better educational resources, I have no objection, I support you enlightened wizards to learn more advanced magic skills for us... This path is very difficult for you to face, because Harris has already stated in the live broadcast that they will not hand over this kind of creation technology that has an overwhelming advantage over other countries... Yes, the situation you have to face is very difficult... Therefore, we ordinary people should not let you have to endure humiliation and burden on this difficult road to go on..."
Seeing that the representatives of the radical faction seemed to be succumbing to their results, Chamberlain's expression also softened a little: "Then Rigidity Fuji, since why are you trying to stop us?"
"Arthur, can you tell meβ" Greaves continued to ask calmly, "can you tell me how many of your companions have this kind of achievement like you?"
"Uh... Although their written grades are not very good, in fact, they all have advantages in their respective fields. Chamberlain seemed a little embarrassed, not counting Grevis, who knew him and his friends here - his graduation results were not very good.
"It's good to go to Hogwarts in England to study more advanced magic... The few elite wizards who have thoroughly studied the magic of our Ilvermorny should have a higher and noble pursuit to learn the rarer magical arts... In this way, the wizarding world can develop. "But more wizards, bewildered by the wonders of magic from other countries, and when our own Ilvermorny hasn't learned it well, and then you want to go to those higher and more obscure magical skills, how much can you gain from it this time?"
This rhetorical question embarrassed the yellers before and realized the problem - ordinary magic was not well practiced, and more esoteric knowledge was coveted.
"Rigidity Fuji seems to have a point," Jessica muttered hesitantly, but the motivation to study at Hogwarts had been lost.
"Jessica, don't be fooled by the slogan-like language, the wizard of the Graves family hasn't told us yet, he has any actionable substantive affairs**** Nader, as a very old member of the Magical Congress, has not been stirred up too much, "Ian, this friend of yours is going to be a very good politician, but you don't... Huh, Ian?"
Ian's expression at this point showed that he was completely unaware of his sister's conversation with Leonard, and he was preoccupied with the speech on the podium.
"Ilvermorny is going to face a brain drain... Nobody cares, no one thinks about us after we leave too many people... We may even meet people who are not determined to return to the United States after seeing the advanced life of Hogwarts, and we have to face not only the passing talent, but also the population that represents the potential of the future... Self-esteem is a weapon, and a wand is used against enemies. We also have magic, we have power, and we have much more potential than we ever imagined. Greaves gracefully raised his arms, palms upward, as if invisibly holding up hope, "Arthur, what was your specific plan of action that you were trying to ask me just now, and I'll tell you what I think..."
Chamberlain, who had spoken before Grevis, had his arms on the table, his hands clenched into fists against his drooping head, his head seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, he couldn't lift his head at all, Graves said this he didn't think at all, if many wizards listened to him and went to Hogwarts, and didn't succeed in achieving any progress but caused the loss of the American population...
A young witch in a silk scarf looked at the wizards around her, and noticed that many of them were nodding their heads to varying degrees.
"The wizarding world doesn't need everyone to be wizards who are good at studying magic, more ordinary people like us, but now the rapid development of Britain makes it impossible for us to stagnate, we are already standing on the edge of the abyss, so the Graves family will set an example, I will publish my family's magic secrets, not only that, but I will also call on other families, in this situation where the old era has been said goodbye and the new era is coming, just like the prescient Alan A. Harris, like Harris, encourages everyone to abandon conservative traditions, integrate the knowledge that was previously hidden in our American wizarding world, which can rarely be learned, and provide more wizards who are not so genius, but also have a closer goal to grow!" Grevis said in a deep tone, "Although we are proud, don't be arrogant, I hope that those wizards who are talented enough... Our Congress can elect those who are strong-willed, give them support, and support them to go abroad to learn advanced technology..."He clenched his right hand into a fist and looked at him firmly, "but we can still choose the posture we should have, what we must never forget should be the history of the founding of Ilvermorny, we should not lose our own American spirit, the way Britain rose... Regardless of the role played by some of the world's most powerful wizards, the British system would never have worked for us... We choose our own path! That is the truth of freedom!"
At this time, there was no longer anyone in the bar talking privately, and the wizards and other races stood up, clapping and cheering vigorously, and many people began to pour the cackling liquor down in this atmosphere, and the effect of the liquor on the part of the liquor made the atmosphere even better.
"Now in this crisis situation, the various factions in the United States should no longer fight each other, which will prevent us from making any progress, therefore, I will try, although my position is not high, I will try to change this! Unite the powerful officials so that all decision-making actions can be more effectively accountable to the President of Congress! If I fall, I will stand up, and if I can't stand up, I hope you will stand up in my place! But the United States will not fall, it will rise again with our efforts!" Greaves waved his right hand vigorously and slapped it on his left chest, "America will rise!"
"America will rise!" "America will rise!" "America will rise!"
Most of the wizards in the bar did the same with the elves, shouting slogans - Leonard was apprehensive to find his niece and nephew among them, as was Arthur Chamberlain.
