Time passes little by little in fairy tales.

By the time Hermione finished telling her sixth story, the clock on the wall had read 11:05 pm.

There was a quiet darkness outside the Hyperion, and even the "Succubus Paradise" in the distance became a little quieter.

As the last story ended, Hermione closed the book "One Thousand and One Nights" in her hand and stretched tiredly. The golden-red jacket slipped from her shoulders. She turned her head and looked at the coffee being brewed next to her.

Elena looked a little expectant.

Phew... She blew the hot air off the coffee cup and felt herself becoming slightly more energetic.

"Shall it begin? General meeting of the Major Arcana."

"Well, it starts in twenty minutes."

Elena nodded, picked up two cups of coffee and placed them in the hands of Hannah and Luna.

It is always easy to get sleepy when listening to stories, so she specially added some spices to the two cups, and

“Wow, it’s so bitter”

Hannah's face suddenly wrinkled and she stuck out her tongue.

On the other side, Luna, who accepted the coffee cup sleepily, also woke up instantly.

Considering that she would go to sleep later, Elena did not add magical ingredients, but chose the most primitive sensory stimulation method.

"Although you can observe today's meeting, as the reserve Major Arcana, you can only observe."

Elena smiled and shook her head. She reached out and pulled Hannah and Luna up from the big bed. They came to the long table on the right side of the captain's podium and sat down one after another. They began to arrange their clothes, hair, and explain some things.

Basic etiquette, so as not to cause any jokes later in the meeting.

Hermione, Luna, and Hannah nodded solemnly.

This is the top wizard salon in the magic world today, and any one of the wizards alone can shock the magic world.

Even without Elena's advance warning, they still knew the specifications of this meeting.

After taking a look at the little wings sitting upright on the chairs with their tight little faces, Elena nodded secretly in her heart.

These little guys are much more obedient than her wand, and they are worthy of being the reserve devil executors she values.

However, overall it's not a big problem.

Because she also has the highest management authority in the Captain's Office of the Hyperion.

If necessary, she can even gag the ball directly... to be precise, group and single-body silence magic.

…………

In the evening, 11:25.

Elena nodded towards the other three little witches, and each took out a Major Arcana card.

Three thin metal card slots rose up on the conference table in the captain's room, with a pair of unfolded wings engraved on the front of the card slots. They put the cards in their hands into the card slots, and the metal made a pleasant sound and turned into a

The light curtain expanded in mid-air directly in front of them.

The screen gradually stretches and deforms.

At the beginning, there are major Arcana main cards turned over one by one, with the name and pattern of each card printed on them.

As they put the cards in their hands into the card slot, the Major Arcana that originally corresponded to them was flipped over in turn and replaced with each person's portrait.

Of course, only the frame and background look like portraits, and the people inside are real-time images of everyone. This is much higher resolution than the magical portraits in Hogwarts, and they can even see everyone's eyes.

Reflective color in pupils.

"Wow"

Hannah looked at the light screen projection directly in front of her in surprise.

For her, this was no less than seeing the animation transformed by Elena for the first time.

The image of Professor Dumbledore was already waiting in the air. Not far below him, the [Tower] and [The Hanged Man] were all waiting on the line. The location belonging to the [World] was not far away.

It stops flashing and seems to be still trying to connect to the network.

A few minutes later, Nick Flamel's image also replaced the [Magician] card and appeared in the light and shadow in mid-air.

"Can they hear us and see our side?"

Hermione quietly kicked Elena under the table and asked in a low voice.

Elena raised her eyebrows, hooked her toes on Hermione's calf, and answered calmly without looking away.

"You can only see the picture, but if you want to hear the sound, you must activate the magic power to connect to the 'Tarot Communicator' in front, but it is limited to other than the Hyperion. This magic power is only available on the Hyperion.

Supplies can be provided directly from the hull."

"Eh? In other words, Professor Dumbledore and the others can"

Hermione glanced at the screen in a panic and tried hard to free her calf.

She felt as if her calf was entangled by two pythons, and there was no way to pull it out again.

"Well, the voice is very clear, Miss Granger."

At this moment, in the light and shadow directly in front of him, Dumbledore said with a smile.

The old wizard's eyes slowly passed over Elena and the others, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that Elena still kept her promise and did not lead these children to play wildly, nor did she lawlessly hold any weird parties on the Hyperion while she was away from school. Judging from their backgrounds and clothes, she was even better than them.

A few old guys need to be more decent.

"However, we may have to wait a while, [Queen] and [Hermit] haven't connected to the remote conference yet..."

Dumbledore paused, turned his head and asked a few questions in a low voice not far away, and continued.

"As for Mr. [World], there may only be sound and no image can be displayed. Miss [Fool] obviously did not consider this issue when she designed this system. Maybe we can replace Mr. [World]'s portrait with him in the future."

s position."

"Well, this is not a problem. I will try to get a portrait of Mr. [World] in a while."

Elena nodded, and at the same time, with a calm expression, she took off Hermione's shoes under the table and threw them aside.

How dare you kick her secretly under the table? If you don't give her a lesson, that's not okay.

"In fact, if it were not for the fact that today is the first time that three reserve members have participated in the meeting, it would not matter if the real-time video was canceled."

Elena glanced at Hermione seriously, let go of the prey she had just captured, and frowned at the last two empty seats.

"If they haven't connected yet, why don't we start first... There's no one late for a Tarot session."

"Sorry, it's a little late."

At this moment, the Major Arcana belonging to [The Hermit] flashed a few times and turned into the appearance of Mr. Lovegood.

Different from the sloppy appearance before, Xenophilius Lovegood appeared in the frame this time. He had obviously combed his hair a little. His original fluffy white hair was tied behind his back, and his robes were also changed into a clean set.

The white robe and roughly trimmed beard make him look more reliable than usual.

Immediately afterwards, Newt Scamander also appeared in the original position of the [Queen].

"Then we are now"

"Well, I might not be able to hear the whole meeting. Tina will get suspicious."

Before Dumbledore could speak, Newt said quickly and looked at the other Major Arcana with some embarrassment.

"All in all, my opinion is the same as Professor Dumbledore's. If there is a vote, that's it. I'll disconnect first."

Snapped.

After Newt finished speaking quickly as if reciting a tongue twister, he quickly disappeared into the light curtain in mid-air.

The [Queen] turned over again, as if everything just now was an illusion.

"..."

"..."

"..."

In the captain's room of the Hyperion, the three little witches subconsciously turned their heads to look at Elena.

As Newt appeared and disappeared, the solemn meeting that originally lingered in their hearts suddenly became strange.

Especially Hermione, who had lost her shoes and had to huddle her feet together, felt that Elena was trying to scare people with this so-called General Meeting of the Major Arcana, which was too casual. The future of the wizarding world is controlled.

In the hands of these people...is there really no problem?

"Ahem, okay, then everyone is here. Let's start today's agenda directly."

Dumbledore cleared his throat, as if he was not affected by Newt's early departure at all.

Strictly speaking, this is the first remote meeting.

Prior to this, most of the Major Arcana meetings were held offline. Today's remote light and shadow connection is more used for daily scattered exchanges and conversations rather than plenary meetings. In fact, in Dumbledore's original vision,

, it doesn’t matter even if the connection is not successful.
