Then, Principal Leila Lopez said angrily:
"Back then, the Kony tribe approached me and offered me a very favorable condition. They were willing to purchase herbs and potions from Wagadu at a very high price."
"At that time, the Kony tribe told me that they wanted to thank Uagadu for training countless wizards for Africa over the years. Therefore, they only charged a small amount of labor fee and were willing to give all the rest of the profit to Uagadu as a support to Uagadu."
"The stars told me that in the near future, Uagadu will face the biggest crisis in history. In order to raise funds to deal with the crisis that may occur soon, I believed it and handed the matter over to the Conni tribe! In exchange for Galleons."
"But what I didn't expect was that this crisis came from the Kony tribe!"
"In just a few years, the Conni tribe first used the high-quality herbs and magic potions of Wagadu to earn a large amount of Galleons, and almost monopolized the herbal medicine trade between Africa and Europe. It was at this time that the Conni tribe revealed their wolfish ambitions!"
"They came to me and claimed that because Wagadu kept the best batch of herbs, the quality of the herbs was not up to standard, which caused them huge losses. Therefore, they wanted to reduce the amount of galleons that were originally agreed to be given to Wagadu."
"This is simply ridiculous! The best herbs in Wagadu should naturally be given to Wagadu's students! There are also many wizards in the Koni tribe who come from Wagadu. How could they not know about this?!"
"So, I flatly rejected them! And, at that time, I decided to hand this matter over to other tribes as a punishment for the Connie tribe!"
"But what I didn't expect was that since the Kony tribe had completely monopolized the herbal medicine trade in Africa and Europe, no other tribe was willing to step forward and accept this cooperation."
"For a time, more than half of Uagadu's funding sources were cut off instantly! However, a huge amount of Galleons flowed out of Uagadu's teaching every day. Just when I was extremely anxious, the Coni tribe came to me again."
"This time, they proposed more stringent conditions and significantly reduced the price of purchasing herbs! Although I was very angry, I had no choice. After all, many herbs have a time limit. I can't just let them rot in the secret room and watch the teaching of Ugadu stagnate."
"At the same time, they also made a request, that is, to ask Wagadu to increase the number of admissions for the Kony tribe every year! I originally refused! But the Kony tribe said that if I did not accept this condition, they would stop purchasing herbs from Wagadu!"
"Of course, they also promised that every admission quota of the Koni tribe would be given to Wagadu with a large sum of gold galleons!"
"After much deliberation, I had no choice but to agree to the request of the Connie tribe."
"You all know how things developed afterwards. One wrong step led to another. I eventually brought Uagadu to this point. I am to blame. I am the sinner of Uagadu!"
At the end, Principal Leila Lopez couldn't help but sigh, her face full of regret.
Hearing what Leila Lopez said, Wentworth could feel the regret in her heart and couldn't help but be slightly moved.
Emma Hughes, on the other hand, looked at Leila Lopez in shock, repeating:
"How could they do this... How could they do this..."
But Wentworth still had one thing he didn't understand, so he asked:
After hearing Wentworth speak, Leila Lopez calmed down and said slowly, "Ask me. At this point, there is nothing I can't say!"
Wentworth nodded slightly to express his gratitude, and immediately asked:
"According to what you said, the Konni tribe has an absolute advantage and a dominant position in the cooperation and transactions with Ugadu. According to common sense, the Konni tribe will not easily break this balance! Then why did they do that at the Animagus International Symposium and attract the attention of the whole world?!"
Hearing Wentworth's question, Leila Lopez smiled, but unexpectedly said: "Because, it was actually me who did that!"
Hearing what Leila Lopez said, Wentworth was stunned and then became thoughtful.
Principal Leila Lopez began to explain: "It was me who added a little magic potion to Johnny Connie's food, causing his Animagus transformation to become uncontrollable. It was also me who kept making a fuss at the International Confederation of Wizards, attracting the attention of the whole world!"
Hearing Leila Lopez's words, Wentworth nodded and exclaimed:
"Since it is a problem that cannot be solved internally, then it is a good idea to use external forces to break the impasse. Why didn't you use this method before, but instead let the Konni tribe suck blood from Wagadu for so long?"
Leila Lopez looked at Wentworth with a smile, then pointed to the star map behind her and said slowly:
"Because, I just received a revelation from the stars not long ago that the wizard who can bring new life to Uagadou is in Hogwarts! I originally thought that person must be Albus Dumbledore, but I didn't expect it to be a little guy like you."
"Of course, the most important point is that I have always been concerned about the reputation of Wagadu! If this matter gets out, it doesn't matter if my reputation is ruined. I am a sinner of Wagadu! However, Wagadu's thousand-year reputation cannot be ruined in my hands!"
"However, not long ago, the Connie tribe found me again and made a new request. This request has completely crossed my bottom line and I absolutely cannot accept it!"
Hearing this, Wentworth instantly became interested. Even though they could endure being sucked blood by the Coni tribe for so long, Wentworth really wanted to know what the request was that finally made Leila Lopez give up the reputation of Vagado and fight to the death with the Coni tribe.
Leila Lopez said slowly, "The Coni tribe has won over several other larger African wizard tribes and wants to establish a school board in Ouagadou!"
Hearing this, Wentworth nodded. He was not surprised. After all, Joseph Kony wanted to recruit him to join the gang.
But then Leila Lopez continued:
"They want to turn Wagadu into a military school for these tribes. They want to train an army of wizards!"
