As a mage, I just want to pursue the truth

Chapter 288
Andrew came purely prepared.

Suddenly, he received a call from a high-level BBC executive, asking him to prepare for an interview with Stephen tonight.

Andrew knew that this was his chance to make a name for himself.

In fact, it is difficult for high-end talk shows to gain a high reputation.

For hosts, there is a strong correlation between popularity and income.

Of course, hosts of high-end talk shows can enjoy a certain premium.

But Andrew also hopes to increase his fame greatly.

Hope to expand your career boundaries.

After watching the press conference at No. [-] Downing Street, he knew that all the anger in London was focused on the current government.

Combined with public opinion and the slogans gathered by the crowd outside, only by standing with the majority of London citizens can he win the widest support.

Even if you gain fame by helping the Boris government and the mud, it is negative, and it is very likely that you will be cast aside by all the people in London and even England.

So when he was preparing for the evening talk show in the afternoon, he was ready to embarrass, or to target Stephen.

In order to prevent accidents, Andrew asked the BBC executives before the talk show, and the executives answered: Just ask, Boris is already too busy to take care of himself.

The BBC was founded in the 20s.

Boris belongs to the Conservative Party in England, which can be understood as the right wing.

Let me briefly explain here that the concept of left-wing and right-wing in Western countries is actually very different from the left-wing in the Chinese context.

The BBC has long been accused of leaning to the left, the opposite of the Conservative Party.

The earliest can be roughly traced back to the 80s, when the BBC's report on the Falklands War launched by England angered the Conservative Party government at the time.

They specifically filmed a documentary titled "Maggie's Militant Tendencies", which linked the Conservative MPs with far-right groups.

This accusation has not dissipated to this day. In 2020, Conservative Party ministers publicly boycotted programs under BBC Radio 4.

It was also during this period that 14 Conservative MPs jointly wrote to the then-incoming Director-General of the BBC, accusing them of one-sided reporting.

After Boris won the general election, he publicly threatened not to support the legalization of BBC license fees.

It can be said that the entanglement between the Conservative Party and the BBC has lasted for more than 40 years.

As for why the two sides have conflicts, Boris will still send Stephen to participate in the BBC program.

This is the same reason that China is not used to the BBC, but the ambassador to England still has to participate in the BBC's "Interview with Andrew Neal".

You can't give up this piece of public opinion just because the other party has conflicts with you.

Stephen was already stumped, he didn't know what he could say.

Because Merlin's magic and London's magic are not in the same system, this is also classified as confidential.

It is difficult for me to grasp the scale between these, and the more I say, the more wrong I am.

Besides, if you really leave the studio, you will be arrested directly.

Stephen's face was still blushing when he thought about it, and the blood was being intensively supplied to the brain:
"Sorry, I can only say that this is not the same thing, but more information cannot be disclosed due to confidentiality."

"Every country will have its own secrets, secrets that cannot be disclosed to the public, right?"

After speaking, Stephen looked at the camera sincerely, trying to create a sense of trustworthiness for the audience in front of the TV and live broadcast platform.

Andrew asked: "I can totally understand that sometimes we have a need for secrecy.

But now London has reached a dangerous time, as you just said, the widespread spread of magic is a situation that none of us have faced.

About 1000 million London citizens will be able to learn magic. In the matter of magic, I think the need for secrecy cannot overwhelm the need to explore a new order that coexists with magic. "

Stephen nodded and said: "Sorry, what news can be said and what can't be said, this is not something I can decide alone.

I will bring the ideas you put forward to the meeting for discussion in the future. If everyone thinks it is okay, we will disclose more information. "

Andrew went on to ask: "What caused all this to happen?

Merlin?Or is there a legendary mage from a new history, Morgana? "

Compared with the host, Stephen didn't dare to mention Merlin's name at all, for fear of being cursed by Merlin.

The most deterrent thing about Merlin's curse is that it ignores space distance.

The great figures in American who were spellcast back then were not in the same space.

But the time when they felt that they lost their happy mood did not differ by more than 1 minute.

Stephen: "No idea, that's what we're trying to figure out.

If any citizen finds anything, you are welcome to report it through Magic London. "

After the release of the Magic London app, it quickly topped the charts of the IOS and Google app stores.

The enthusiasm for downloading is much higher than the app that England pushed to record the trajectory of actions at that time.

Not only local users in London have downloaded the app, but users across England are downloading the app.

Although you can't go to London now, you will use it sooner or later.

Learning well in advance is never a bad thing.

Andrew continued to ask: "Are you sure there is no wizarding world similar to that in "Harry Potter" in London?

And now there will be a new round of war in the magic world. "

Stephen shook his head: "Absolutely not, I'm sure."

Andrew: "According to what Mr. Boris said before, the English government has mages who obey their orders.

What are they doing this time in London? "

Stephen subconsciously said: “They can’t do anything about it.”

Andrew immediately asked back: "That is to say, the magic that appeared in London is a completely different product from the magic in the previous Merlin magic coin system?
Otherwise, why would it be powerless? "

Stephen shook his head immediately and said, "I didn't mean that."

Andrew didn't give him any chance to buffer: "In addition, you just said that you knew that everyone can learn magic half a month ago.

So how long ago did Mr. Boris start learning magic? "

Stephen whispered: "Sorry, it's not convenient to disclose."

Under Andrew's sharp questioning, almost all of Stephen's questions were either unanswerable or vague.

Such a performance obviously cannot satisfy the citizens of London.

Andrew got what he wanted. Compared with Stephen and the Boris government behind him, he has undoubtedly become a positive figure.

"It's the first time I've met a senior official who doesn't know anything, and this is England's national security adviser.

At this level, how to do a good job in national security work?
I seriously doubt that the scumbags living in No [-] Downing Street have the ability to run this country well. "

Unlike the spate of shootings in American, England has one of the toughest gun controls in the country.

The last time such a high number of deaths occurred was 16 years ago when a taxi driver in England shot and killed 12 people.

More importantly, compared with guns, magic has a much higher unknown content.

People are always afraid of the unknown.

After the news that magic existed in London was made public, although there was no curfew, it achieved the effect of a curfew.

Few people go out to wander around at night.

The nightlife of the whole city stopped.

"Are they incapable of independent thinking?

Now there is a channel for everyone to learn magic. In the past, only a small number of people may know magic, but after half a month at most, everyone will know magic.

Is the English government planning to pin its hopes on us, let us learn magic and fight each other? "

The comment on Twitter was widely discussed and retweeted, and in their view amounted to the England side passing on an obligation that should have been theirs to the individuals below.

This is also caused by the asymmetry of information. The citizens of London do not know that the more people master magic, the less powerful the magic will be.

While London is in chaos, other countries are eating melons.

Musk tweeted: "It's so cool, I will live in London for a while after London is unblocked.

I've started learning magic. "

For him, wealth has lost its meaning, and realizing the value of life is the ultimate pursuit.

For example, going to Mars, becoming a magician, and possessing superpowers are not something that can be achieved by money alone, but are the goals of the rest of his life.

Zheng Li's reputation in the world still cannot catch up with Musk, and the position of public opinion in the West is too solid. The image of the richest Chinese high-tech man has actually been downplayed in this system.

Musk regards Zheng Li as his biggest business rival.

Whether it's Neuralink or Tesla, scientifically innovative creatures are the enemies they have to face in front of them.

The lithium metal battery launched by Kechuangbio has given Huaguo's new energy vehicles a core competitiveness overseas.

This devours Tesla's market share, not to mention the brain-computer connection technology of Kechuangbiology.

After Musk knew about the magic event in London, he was not as eager as he appeared on Twitter.

Because he is about to get a magic brain from American officials.

"While eating melons, talk less."

"I never expected that the title of Shanghai would be snatched by London."

"Hello, I am studying magic in London. As long as you transfer 648 to the ** account to help me finish my studies and return to China, I will give you a place in Hogwarts."

Netizens in Huaguo have the mentality of eating melons.

Of course, the vast number of Chinese students studying in London are not so lucky.

But as long as you don't run around, it's fine.

Even many international students realize that this is an opportunity.

The way to learn magic has been provided by the English government. Isn't this the best chance to become the top [-] of Bilibili?
Is there any better gimmick than recording yourself from a Muggle to a magician, a magician in reality?

Of course, since there are many people who think this way, whoever can break out of the siege depends on his own ability.

"How to evaluate Boris' public speech at the press conference yesterday morning? And what is the real reason behind the London magic incident?"

Compared with Weibo, which mainly vents emotions and complains, discussions on Zhihu are more in-depth.

Although Weibo has wanted to learn from Zhihu these years, and has made a long Weibo, I hope to have some in-depth content.

Zhihu is learning Weibo, which is traffic-oriented.

"Thank you, I'm in London, and I'm still in a daze until now.

When I saw the video of the press conference in the WeChat group of overseas students yesterday, my first reaction was an April Fool's Day joke.

Subtitles are manually edited.

Then I used the energy I had for the IELTS listening test to hear every word of Boris clearly.

Only then did I realize it was true.

This happened to me when I tm just came to London, can everyone in London learn magic?

It turned out that I was not admitted to the London School of Economics and Political Science, but to Hogwarts College in London.

I went to class this morning, and all the students were not in the mood to listen to the class, they were all asking the professor about magic.

Because the class this morning is macroeconomics, the professor told us about the impact of magic on London and how London can develop a magic tourism economy.

In the past, my group of English classmates stayed away from home at night, and had various parties and hilarity.

No one goes out at night now, but instead of being afraid of being killed by magic, they are learning magic in Enchanted London.

I feel that if the end of their learning of magic is focused on course study, they won't be able to rank in the top ten of their grades and be taken over by foreign students from Huaguo.

Even as far as I know, the professors in our academy are practicing magic.

Now the whole LSE is short of everyone wearing wizard robes to school.

Everyone is wearing wizard robes, holding a wand, and when I return to my country, I will say that I graduated from Hogwarts.

Then I also started to learn magic now, everyone is learning, I also want to learn.

Regardless of whether to return to China or stay in London in the future, this is the capital of pretentiousness.

You can also take a few videos and send them to Moments and Weibo to show off.

The content published on the Magic London app is very basic elemental magic, of which water elemental magic is the most.

The spell needs to match your thoughts, and the spell can only be successfully cast when it is consistent. The less distracting thoughts, the better.

I still play too much on my mobile phone at ordinary times, which makes my distracting thoughts unable to be contained. If anyone knows how to reduce distracting thoughts, please tell me in the comment area, it is urgently needed!

In addition, the reason why water elemental magic is the most, I guess this has a lot to do with London's climate and weather.

In London, where it rains and cloudy so often, the water element must be the easiest spell to master.

As for the real reason behind the magic incident, this is beyond the knowledge of an ordinary foreign student like me.

Questioner: If your boss is asking you this question, please don't ask netizens on Zhihu!
There will be new developments in the follow-up, and I will continue to update this answer. "

There are more than 50 Chinese students studying in England, most of whom are in London.

A small number are in cities such as Ireland, Manchester and Liverpool.

Most of the international students are forced by their parents to go back quickly.

Since there are no flights to London right now, they need to fly back to other cities.

On the contrary, air tickets are not that expensive.

However, some international students do not want to give up this rare opportunity and want to stay in London.

They think this is a rare opportunity, a chance to get in touch with magic directly.

　The brief history of the grievances between the BBC and the Conservative Party is mainly to explain why Andrew is so aggressive and merciless.
