Chapter 1373: explode in silence

"They were all brutally killed by Death Eaters in front of the asylum. Why was there no one at that time..."

"It's normal, isn't it? The wizards in the British wizarding world haven't broken out yet. After all, too few people died in this wizarding war. Otherwise, how could everyone tolerate the Death Eaters' wanton behavior and pick up their wands to fight with them? .”

Listening to the latest news on the wizard's lookout station's radio, and facing the doubts of his colleagues around him, Kenneth couldn't help but speak.

“Too few people died?”

These words really irritate people's nerves.

Several people around looked at Kenneth in surprise, staring at him with an annoyed look like how could you say such a thing.

"It is normal for people to die in war. Can a war without death still be called a war? It is called a fight. Sometimes a fight will kill someone." Kenneth thought that this group of people would be so childish, and indeed they were all It's Albert's fault. "It's because Albert protected you too well. If we died as often as the Order of the Phoenix, I guess you wouldn't have such a **** expression now."

“Do people die often in the Order of the Phoenix?” someone asked curiously.

“Most of the current members of the Order of the Phoenix are named Weasley, what do you think?” Kenneth’s meaning was already obvious.

“The Defense Association is not the Order of the Phoenix.”

“Yeah, that’s why there are so many cuties.”

Kenneth looked around at the people around him and continued: "I remember what Albert said: If you don't break out in despair, you will perish in despair."

“The British wizarding community is gradually dying out of despair.”

"You should all be able to feel that in order to protect themselves, most wizards do not dare to stand up and resist. They can only kneel and silently endure the mysterious man's reign of terror and the unscrupulous oppression of the Death Eaters. A small number of wizards place their hopes on Harry Harry, but how can Harry, who is fighting alone, be the opponent of the mysterious man?"

“So, you just give up on them? Give up on those 28 people.”

“We didn’t give up on them, it was them who gave up on themselves. We reminded them.” Kenneth looked at the girl and felt that she should not join the Defense Association. This place was really not suitable for her.

"But we can obviously help them, the Death Eaters attacked them outside the shelter, as long as we..."

"We will not risk sacrificing members of the Defense Association to save a group of people who are seeking death." Kenneth interrupted simply, "Even if 1 is exchanged for 28, we will suffer a loss, let alone a group of people who are seeking death. , there is no value to be saved at all.”

"you…"

“Honestly, I’m just curious that you don’t know.”

"what do you know?"

“The number of enemies far exceeds ours, so we must awaken people’s courage to resist, so that other wizards can bravely stand up and fight against the Death Eaters.”

“But this is not the same as…”

"The best way to wake them up is blood." The smile on Kenneth's face was very cold. "We will not tolerate the members of the Defense Association fighting the Death Eaters while they watch silently, waiting to enjoy the name of The sweet fruits of victory.”

“Remember, this war requires dead people. As long as the ones who die are not your own, then it’s okay. This is also the consensus of the members of the Defense Association, and you don’t know this. It’s really surprising.”

“So you let them die even though you knew they were likely to die after leaving the shelter?”

“We reminded them, it’s them...”

“Okay Kenneth, stop talking!” Cedric tried to stop the argument, because he knew very well that not everyone was as firm in their beliefs.

“I think you should let her realize the reality.” Kenneth reminded in a strange tone: “Remember to tell Albert that it will be good for her to transfer your girlfriend to handle logistics work.”

"I will!"

"etc!"

Qiu Zhang tried to stop Kenneth, but the latter was too lazy to pay attention to her and left directly.

"We can't save them, and we can't stop them from leaving. Adults must be responsible for their own actions!" Cedric sighed softly as he looked at his girlfriend who had taken good care of him and was still a little innocent. He took a breath and explained: "I know what you mean, but the death of those people is not our fault."

"But if they are allowed to die so meaninglessly, what's the point of rescuing them from Azkaban?" Qiuchang still can't understand that the deaths of those people were even unexpected by Albert. middle.

"You think that way only because Albert is so powerful that you have similar thoughts." Cedric also tried to reverse Qiu Xiaoxiao's thoughts, "I know you think the reason why they left the shelter was the environment of the shelter. It’s too bad, but you need to know how many people we have rescued, and even living a relatively comfortable life at the headquarters requires a large amount of expenses every day. Where does this money come from, have you ever thought about it?” Cedric asked rhetorically.

Chau Zhang was silent. She was not stupid from Ravenclaw.

“Kenneth also took out a sum of money, although it was not a lot of money, but... you didn’t have it, not just you, but many members didn’t have it, they even ignored the problem and took it for granted.”

“So, I’m not qualified?”

"Yes, not qualified." Cedric said cruelly, "But that's not the reason for Galleons, but because the Defense Association only protects its own people from the beginning. This is what Albert meant, and it is also our consensus. "

“Yes, consensus.”

"What about the rest?"

“We will also be willing to give each other a hand, but not everyone is willing to appreciate it, so you also saw that 28 people died.” Cedric shrugged.

“But we could have prevented this.”

"We will only remind them, but we will not risk the lives of our accomplices. Those who seek death are not worth saving. We will only watch them die silently. Even members of the Defense Association will do the same if they do not listen to the advice. Those who seek death will be given up immediately by everyone."

Several people around him fell into a brief silence, suddenly feeling that the Defense Association had become very strange.

“The purpose of the Defense Association is to fight against mysterious people and teach everyone how to protect themselves.”

Cedric seemed to see what the others were thinking and continued: "In the near future, we will all participate in the final battle between Harry and the mysterious man. No one knows how many people will die in that war.

So, now you understand why Albert prioritizes protecting his own people.

Furthermore, our limited resources only allow us to do that. Those **** who just want to hide behind and wait to enjoy the fruits of the final victory, if we can give them a bite of food to prevent them from going hungry, it is considered to be the most benevolent and righteous. Unless you think we should be robbing Muggles to feed a bunch of borers? "

Several people around him stared at Cedric with wide eyes, unable to believe that this actually came out of his mouth.

“Remember to apologize to Kenneth.” Cedric said seriously, “And I need to remind you that what follows will only be crueler.”

"What's the meaning?"

"Death Eaters will take revenge. If they can't find us, they will only take revenge on those weak wizards in the wizarding world to vent their anger and fear." Cedric said contemptuously, "Perhaps, the association also There will be family members affected, but if the Death Eaters use your family as a threat, will you betray us?"

"I have no idea."

"We allow you to do that, but if you do that, you will be given up!" Cedric reminded.

"give up?"

"Albert will erase your memory and implant some of your escape memories to ensure that the secrets of the Defense Association will not be leaked. Of course, that may not be reliable, because the mysterious person has a way to dig out the hidden things from your brain. Although the memory will cause that person to be completely scrapped, the mysterious man definitely doesn't care."

Everyone looked at Cedric in shock.

“Yes, Kenneth and I did it on purpose.” Cedric actually admitted it directly.

“Potter’s parents were betrayed and died. We must avoid similar things from happening. Think about what terrible things would happen if Death Eaters attacked the village one night.

So don’t think it’s cruel to do that. You need to get used to all this. If you can’t get used to it, the end result may be a tragic death or the death of people around you. Of course, we give others the alternative of leaving Britain and staying away from this **** war, but those who join the Defense Association want to stay. "

Cedric paused, looked at everyone present and asked: "Does anyone want to withdraw from the association and leave the UK directly?"

“It seems that you have convinced her?”

Kenneth appeared out of nowhere and walked side by side with Cedric on the way to the conference room. "If I were you, I would temporarily tamper with some of her memories and send the person away from the UK and hide her until the war is over." Find the person again.”

“Autumn is a smart girl.” Cedric declined Kenneth’s proposal politely.

"There is no Hagrid to behead them this time. I'm a little curious about what outrageous things those Death Eaters will do again?" Kenneth said very relaxedly, as if those evil things had nothing to do with him. .

“How long do you think it will take for the others to muster up the courage?” Cedric didn’t answer the question.

"It's very difficult, very difficult." Kenneth was not very optimistic about this matter. "Even if Albert tries again and again. There are only those people who are willing to join us and who really have the courage to participate in the fight against the mysterious man." , I’m afraid it will have to be doubled again, and I don’t know how many people will die in the final battle.”

"If those adults are unwilling to take responsibility..." Cedric didn't want to think about the dire consequences that would have.

“It is estimated that at least half a hundred students will die in the final battle.” Kenneth sneered, “I think some of them will cry by then.”

"The situation is not as bad as you think. Our power is gradually getting stronger, while the Death Eaters are weakening." Cedric murmured.

"We should now focus on the Death Eaters' next revenge. Albert suspects that they may try to kidnap your family members to threaten you into surrendering."

“I actually envy Fred and George.” Cedric felt that he might not be able to convince his parents to hide.

Although the Weasley family have all joined the Order of the Phoenix and joined the resistance against the mysterious man, it is actually safer that way. Just like they who joined the Defense Association, they have always been well protected.

"There are not many smart people in this world." Kenneth said meaningfully: "By the way, after the war is over, do you plan to move here?"

Cedric was stunned for a moment, probably not expecting that Kenneth would suddenly mention this matter.

"Probably... yes!" Cedric was not sure. He had not actually considered such a far-fetched thing.
