Chapter Seventy-Three: Speeches at the Rally
Amid thunderous applause, Grindelwald stepped onto the "stage" he had built for a long time.
He smiled and opened his arms and spun around in a hugging gesture.
"My brothers, sisters, friends, such a loud applause should not be for me, no, it should be dedicated to yourselves......"
As his voice sounded, a prompt from the system suddenly sounded in Rossi's head:
"Ding! Main Quest: Stay alive and complete the countdown: 59 minutes and 59 seconds. ”
"Finish the countdown?"
Rossi was stunned for a moment, "This means that this copy will be over in another hour?" ”
Looking sideways at the three Erin, I saw that their eyes were also full of solemnity, obviously getting the same information.
“…… You are gathered here today for the sake of the new! Change! ”
"Many people say that I hate non-wizards, Muggles, vermins, No-Macks, people who can't cast spells,......" Grindelwald said in a very inflammatory tone.
Non-wizards, Muggles, pests, No-Macks, and people who can't cast spells, these titles are all the names given to ordinary people in the wizarding world in Europe and the United States.
He paused slightly, his gaze swept over the audience in all directions, and then his expression became serious, and his tone became subdued:
"Nope! I don't hate them, and we don't fight for hatred.
To me, Muggles, are not enemies, nor are they lowly, they are just different from us. ”
"Yes, they are just different from us." He repeated, "Magic does not always bloom, and it is favored by very few." And as Divine Favorers, we wizards should guide Muggles and enjoy respect, not the way we do now! ”
At this, he took a deep breath: "I ask you, do you want to hide in the shadows like a mouse?" Do you want your children, your descendants, to be as denied the sun as we are? ”
"I don't want to!"
"I don't want to!"
……
This echoing voice first sounded scattered in the stands, and then in an instant, it became one, passionate and fanatical.
Rosie only felt that his emotions were driven by Grindelwald's voice, and he gradually became immersed in his speech, and became more and more excited.
In the midst of a frenzied and high-pitched sound, Rossi suddenly came to his senses.
"Huh? What's going on?!! ”
She turned her head to look around, and found that except for Tina, Newt, and a few others, the rest of the wizards, even Erin and them, seemed to be affected by the speech and became a little excited.
"It's like at a concert, even if you don't like the singer on stage, you will unconsciously get excited under the atmosphere?"
While she was making analogous conjectures in her heart, she saw Grindelwald's eyes suddenly look at her:
"Maybe someone who knows me well will know that I'm acting radically because my eyes can see the future."
With a gentle stroke, one of his blue eyes suddenly turned white.
"The Eye of Foresight ?!!"
There was a sudden exclamation from the crowd.
"Yes, the Eye of Foresight."
Grindelwald curled the corners of his mouth, "It's because of it that I believe I'm on the right path......
"Venda, bring me the props that have been placed in your place, it's time for you to see my prophecy......"
In an instant, a pair of eager eyes focused on Rossi.
Smiling at Tina, who was quietly shaking her head at herself, Rossi generously stepped out of the stands and walked to Grindelwald with a skull hookah.
She knew it was dangerous, but if she didn't listen to him, she was afraid that she would be attacked by Grindelwald's fanatics immediately.
"Venda, it's time for you to make a choice."
Grindelwald smiled and whispered something to Rosie, then picked up the tube attached to the skull and put it to his mouth, inhaling deeply.
After a moment, he opened his mouth to breathe, and a cloud of mist rose up.
“…… It can emit brainwashing gas and create an image in the user's mind, and the person who sees it will believe it. ”
Thinking of the characteristics of the skeleton hookah, Rossi immediately lowered his head.
Suddenly, just as people's eyes were rising with the clouds, a tank slammed out of the fog.
The crowd was in an uproar.
However, before they could be amazed by the killing machine made of steel, fighter jets and bombers that were constantly venting shells came one after another......
Soon, the images of the horrors of the war appeared in the picture presented by the clouds......
Eventually, a nuclear bomb fell, planting the mushroom cloud that could destroy the world into everyone's hearts.
"Ladies and gentlemen! If we don't stand up and fight to regain our rightful place, this is the consequence. ”
Grindelwald spoke angrily. Emotions are progressing, "This is what we have to fight!" Our real enemies are their arrogance, their greed for power and profit, their brutality and cruelty!
Just imagine, what if they pointed their weapons at us? Maybe you think you're hiding enough to be caught by them.
But what about your descendants? Are we to teach our sons and daughters how to hide and how to live like rats?
If we don't fight and resist, then all the bitter consequences will be borne by our children in the end, but how can we bear to do this?!! ”
Maybe it was too close to Grindelwald, and even if Rosie lowered his head and didn't look at the scene made of clouds and mist, his blood still boiled when he heard his words.
At this moment, she suddenly felt a chill under her neck, and her excited emotions instantly calmed down.
Although she didn't move, she still stood there holding a skull hookah. But her lowered eyes were already full of suspicion, and if it weren't for Grice's homemade necklace with its special ability to maintain peace of mind, she would never be able to wake up at this moment.
"What's going on? How could his speech have such a strong 'brainwashing' effect?? ”
She can see clearly on the round platform, whether it is Tina and others as the protagonist, or Erin and others as players, their eyes are a little fanatical at this time.
And that's not the only thing that makes her feel dead.
At the top of the stands, Theseus, who was much younger than the one she had seen outside the dungeon, appeared with a group of Aurors.
"In the next words, don't panic, you must be calm and stabilize your emotions."
Grindelwald paused, "There's an Auror mixed in with you and me, huh...... Don't be nervous, come here, wizard brothers, and join us! ”
The words fell, and everyone followed his gaze and fixed their eyes on Theseus and the others.
But seeing Theseus whispering a word, he really had to lead people down step by step.
"He doesn't think about getting Grindelwald back here, does he?"
Rosie secretly scolded in his heart, "The director when he was young, is he so whimsical? ”
"It's true that many of my followers have been killed by them......"
Grindelwald said, glancing over the faces of the wizards one after another, "...... They may have hurt your family, you are angry, you are hungry for revenge, and that's normal, and I understand that.
But when Auror friends choose to stand by me, then, for the greater good, I hope you will let go of your previous mustard......"
Before he could finish his sentence, a girl in the crowd behind him drew her wand and tried to attack the nearest Auror.
However, the Aurors naturally reacted much faster than her, and before her spell could take shape, the Aurors, sensing the crisis, subconsciously released a killing curse.
"This guy, the curse is so easy to put out, no one will believe it if it is not an undercover agent arranged by Grindelwald."
Rossi muttered secretly, "If this continues, won't everything here go according to Nicol Lemay's prophecy?" That's not going to work, then we're dead. ”
Thinking of this, she quietly winked at Erin in the stands while Grindelwald went to check on the girl's body, while everyone's attention was not on her.
