Chapter 1753: A War with No Victors (203)
To be honest, the meeting was truly boring!
Yes, after personally experiencing a meeting, Albert couldn't agree more with Bard's opinion.
The entire meeting was dull, but you had to sit there and listen to their nonsense, which was completely different from the memory he had experienced through the meditation basin.
No wonder Bard always liked to have fun; watching everyone argue was indeed much more interesting than listening to their pointless talk.
"Honestly, I really don't understand them. What are they trying to achieve with such high-intensity meetings?"
After the other witches and wizards left, Albert complained in a low voice, "Could it be just to inform everyone about this matter?"
"Yes, didn't you know?" Bard looked at Albert with a smile that didn't quite reach his eyes, "The important matters have already been discussed in advance. Coming here is just a formality."
"It's hard to imagine that you'd be willing to attend," Albert couldn't help but tease.
"Do you think I wanted to come?" Bard led Albert out as he spoke.
"Let's meet up with the Minister first, and then grab something to eat. There are several more meetings in the afternoon."
After two consecutive meetings, Kingsley looked a bit tired, and he didn't have much of an appetite while eating.
"If I were you, I wouldn't go looking for trouble. Just focus on the purpose of your visit here," Bard said to Albert as he ate the relatively tasty food, sharing an interesting story.
"It's said that during one session, there was a problem with the food provided, and more than half of the attendees were poisoned." Bard took a sip of the thick drink and continued, "Later, they came up with all sorts of regulations; otherwise, you'd never know what you might end up eating."
"Subcontinent?" Albert asked tentatively.
"Subcontinent." Bard was surprised that Albert had guessed it so easily.
"It's normal. I've heard that the residents of the subcontinent like to add all kinds of spices to their food. That's not good for the stomach, especially for those who aren't used to it. It's normal to have an upset stomach, and...anyway, I wouldn't want to try their food." Albert had a terrible impression of Indian cuisine and would never dare to try it.
"So that's it!" Bard looked at Albert in surprise, "It's the spices, no wonder they all had diarrhea. Many people suspected it was food poisoning at the time."
"Ahem, you're really planning to attend that giant meeting this afternoon." Kingsley coughed lightly, drawing everyone's attention, and then shared the news he had heard, "I heard that Heliotop Willis, the leader of the Monster Rights Movement, is planning to bring Monster Guards into the meeting to prove that monsters aren't violent and are suitable for security."
"It's going to be quite a show this afternoon." Bard seemed to be in a good mood.
"No...I mean, they're monsters. Don't you think it's ridiculous to attend a meeting with a Beheading Charm?" Kingsley found it hard to understand why the International Confederation of Wizards would allow monsters into the meeting room.
He even suspected that some unscrupulous individuals wanted to add some excitement to the meeting.
"It's a bit ridiculous, but I think many people will want to see the spectacle." Bard smirked, "I'd bet Heliotop Willis is attending this kind of meeting for the first time. Otherwise, she wouldn't do something as stupid as this."
"So...it was intentional?"
Bard's expression told Albert that something interesting was definitely going to happen in the afternoon.
"Some things are not suitable to be said directly, but you can go and see for yourself." Bard winked mysteriously at everyone, as if hinting at something.
So, everyone decided to attend this meeting together.
Then, to their surprise, the meeting wasn't held at the Ministry of Magic but outside it. What was even more surprising was that when they arrived, they saw many people attending the meeting with Beheading Charms.
"This is the dumbest thing I've ever seen. Who would allow that woman to bring monsters in?"
A wizard on Kingsley's right side, who hadn't been hit by the Beheading Charm and was almost overwhelmed by the stench of the Monster Guards, muttered a curse under his breath, casting a spell on himself.
There were more victims than just this one; Albert saw several witches and wizards rushing out of the door.
The meeting officially began after all the attending witches and wizards had cast Beheading Charms on themselves.
The main reason for convening this meeting was to discuss whether witches and wizards should restrict the behavior of monsters.
Led by Artemus Lawson, most of the witches and wizards believed that monsters were brainless creatures that were not only smelly but also dangerous. They thought that monsters should be restrained to prevent chaos, and major losses should be avoided.
No one wanted to see these marinated, bulky monsters in any public place. Even if they were trained as guards, it would be difficult to eliminate the disgusting smell from the monsters.
However, before Artemus Lawson could finish his statement, Heliotop Willis, the radical leader of the Monster Rights Movement, was already eager to refute his argument.
She believed that monsters were not violent and were suitable for security, and the two monsters behind her were the best evidence.
The two of them quickly engaged in a heated argument, spewing words at each other.
"Honestly, I admire Heliotop Willis," Albert said with a strange tone, "I certainly couldn't endure the stench of monsters like she does."
Bard examined the two arguing on stage with interest and turned to Albert, asking, "What do you think about this?"
"I still think we shouldn't let monsters run wild. The best solution is to build a monster reserve and throw all these brainless creatures into it, just like the Giant Camp."
"That's a good idea, but it's expensive and takes up a lot of space. Moreover, it's a good excuse." Bard stared intently at the front, afraid of missing anything.
It was unclear who was behind it, but the monsters that Heliotop Willis had brought in as guards seemed to have lost patience. In their impatiently waving palms, they accidentally knocked Willis to the ground, silencing that annoying individual.
The sudden "accident" stunned everyone, and they looked at Heliotop Willis, who had just confidently claimed that monsters were not violent, with strange expressions. Even Artemus Lawson, who had just argued with her, unconsciously took a step back, fearing that the two monsters would slap him as well.
Whispered discussions began in the meeting room, and no one cared about the fate of the knocked-out Heliotop Willis. They all found the scene very dramatic, and someone started laughing unscrupulously. Soon, everyone in the meeting room couldn't help but laugh, as if mocking Heliotop Willis's stupidity!
