Chapter 2333 What Is the Use of Wizards? (What Should I Do if I Can’t Move Now)

There was nothing to say next, Ellie asked Hermione to inform the other teachers to clean up the mess, and then she walked aside and opened the "customer service hotline".

"Yuyi, how's it going? Did you monitor how this giant came here just now?"

"Of course, Dad, I've found the information and read it again, it just broke through the door and rushed in... Although it looks like it was lured by something, I really didn't see anyone else around it Appear."

"........."

That is, the event is triggered automatically?

Even if he killed Professor Quirrell, the event was still triggered? So what's the point of this event? But if you think about it carefully, the troll invasion did not achieve any effect in Harry Potter. The troll was originally wiped out by Harry and Ron, and Quirrell failed to attract other people's attention to steal the Philosopher's Stone. The mission, so basically this conspiracy is a complete failure.

But now let's do it again... Could it be that the will of this world is a cute one?

Ellie was puzzled, but at the same time other professors and teachers rushed over. They also expressed their great surprise that the troll could enter Hogwarts, and Dumbledore even more surprised Ellie. Called aside.

"It's really thanks to you, without you, I really don't know how this matter would develop..."

"I don't know what the situation is."

Ellie was too lazy to play charades with Dumbledore here, and said it directly.

"According to the logic, a creature as stupid as a troll should not have the ability to enter Hogwarts alone. I suggest you conduct a search. Also, it would be best if the castle is monitored."

"……………monitor?"

“…………………”

What technology do I talk to the illiterate?

Perhaps seeing the disdain in Ellie's eyes, Dumbledore coughed awkwardly and stroked his beard.

"Indeed, it's a strange thing, and I'll investigate."

Now that Dumbledore decided to investigate, Ellie didn't bother to care about it anymore, she just nodded and turned to leave.

For the other students, they didn't know what was going on, and they had a lively Halloween dinner party happily, while Ellie just stayed at the beginning of the dinner party for a while, then left the restaurant and went to the library. I found a comfortable place to sit down and read a book.

After a while, another figure walked into the library and came to Ellie's side.

"Mr. Allie, can I sit here?"

Hearing this voice, Ellie raised her head, glanced at Hermione in front of her, and nodded. After getting her consent, Hermione sat down.

"That... I haven't thanked you yet, Teacher Ellie, thank you for saving me..."

"I am a teacher, this is my duty."

Ellie didn't look up, but just replied lightly, while Hermione didn't speak for a while, and after a while, she opened her mouth in a low voice.

"Ms. Ellie...why did you use...a gun to kill that giant monster?"

"Because that's the easiest, most convenient and quickest way."

Ellie turned a page of the book and replied casually.

"Any questions?"

"No no no, no!"

Hermione shook her head hastily.

"That's not what I mean, I think, you are the teacher of the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, I thought you would have some powerful spell..."

"No spell is stronger than a weapon made by man."

Ellie turned a page again.

"Wizards need to expend energy, and what they get through training time and time again, for ordinary people, they only need to hook their fingers. If this is the case, why waste time doing things that are thankless? I remember what I said very clearly in class. The so-called defense is to keep yourself from making mistakes and at the same time make the enemy make mistakes as much as possible. There is never a fair fight. You are not the same as Malfoy, stupid Ask a troll to fight you in a fair wizard duel."

"I didn't mean that... I just thought..."

Speaking of this, Hermione seemed a little cautious. She looked at Ellie cautiously, hesitating whether to ask a question, and then Hermione finally asked.

"Ms. Ellie...how do you think about wizards?"

This was the biggest question in Hermione's heart. As a smart child, she certainly found that Ellie was different from other professors. She never called ordinary people "Muggles", and she didn't seem to think that witchcraft had any meaning. what a big deal. Although witchcraft can indeed do many magical things, in Hermione's opinion, Ellie is not as enthusiastic about witchcraft as other wizards are. Maybe it's hard to say, but she feels Ellie's attitude towards witchcraft , as if my father had the same attitude towards the repair tools in the garage.

Use it when it's useful, and throw it aside when it's useless... This made Hermione very puzzled.

Is this a wizard too?

"wizard?"

This time, Ellie finally raised her head, she looked at Hermione, but after a while, she said an irrelevant topic.

"Hermione, have you ever been to a museum?"

"Of course I have."

"Then you should know that among the antiques displayed in museums, many of them were everyday objects of people in the period when they were made, but they are more difficult to obtain - but in modern times, these things have been replaced and are useless , so they are placed in museums to commemorate and display."

Having said that, Ellie looked at Hermione again.

"So do wizards."

"........."

Facing Ellie's answer, Hermione was dumbfounded.

"You mean... wizards are antiques?"

"certainly."

Ellie lowered her eyes again, looking at the book in front of her.

"Why do you think Hogwarts is here? Why do you think those wizards stay away from the world of ordinary people? The reason is simple, they have been eliminated by this world. Once, long, long ago, most people had no special powers, They also lack the wisdom to observe the stars of fate. They only know how to fight with the rough and simple weapons cast in their hands. For them, wizards who can summon flames, lightning, and fly freely in the air are powerful, mysterious and terrifying... ..."

Hearing this, Hermione couldn't help but nodded. In fact, her first impression of wizards was the same.

"But the situation is completely different now. People have made airplanes and cars, and they can drive these giant steel beasts to fly in the sky and gallop on the ground. There is no need to learn any spells, let alone have any talents, even A pig who takes a flight to the skies whenever he gets the chance. They used to be able to command the wind and rain, but now ordinary people can create weapons that are just as... or even more powerful to fight."

Having said this, Ellie snorted lightly.

"Then you say, what's the point of the existence of these wizards? They can't accept their own status, and they can't accept the difference between the present and the past—the era of worshiping the mystery and power of wizards has ended, and human beings have come. In the new era, they don't need wizards, let alone witchcraft, to create a brighter and better future, so you say, witchcraft, what value does wizard have?"

"........."

This time, Hermione was stunned. Although she had already noticed that Ellie was not very interested in wizards and witchcraft, and was even a little indifferent, she didn't expect her to think so.

"This this……………"

"I can tell you that even if all the wizards in the world die early tomorrow morning, none of them will be left. Their death and the destruction of the entire magic world will not bring any harm to the human world or this earth. The slightest impact—just as the death of a colony of ants does no harm to a human community."

"Yes, but..."

Hearing this, Hermione's complexion turned pale, and she looked at Ellie in surprise, as if she was looking at some rebellious kingslayer.

"But...if that's the case, why did you become a wizard?"

"Because without an investigation there is no voice."

Ellie looked up again and stared at Hermione.

"My attitude has always been that if you're going to judge something, you have to know it first. You can't criticize something you don't know yourself, so I studied witchcraft and became a wizard. Study them, Think, and come to a conclusion, like this."

While talking, Ellie placed a picture on the table, and Hermione saw at a glance that it was a picture of a chocolate frog, and the character on it was Dumbledore.

"Albus Dumbledore, the current headmaster of Hogwarts, is recognized as the greatest wizard of our time. Dumbledore's well-known contributions include: defeating the dark wizard Grindelwald in 1945, discovering the twelve with partner Nick Flamel in alchemy, Professor Dumbledore is fond of chamber music and ten-pin bowls."

After reading the content introduced above, Ellie glanced at Hermione.

"You should know this."

"Hmm... is there a problem?"

"Of course, since that's the case, then I ask you, as the 'recognized' greatest wizard of our time, what contribution has he made to mankind?"

“……………………”

This time, Hermione was too dumbfounded to answer. She has indeed seen many deeds of Dumbledore from biographies and history, but almost all of them are related to wizards, and there are very few parts related to the Muggle world.

"Emperor superstars can bring music and joy to the world, scientists can invent technological creations that change human life, and even wealthy businessmen can create wealth and provide jobs... Then, Dumbledore, the recognized 'contemporary What did The Greatest Wizard' do?"

"........."

This time, Hermione couldn't answer. She also thought it was amazing when she saw Dumbledore's deeds when she was reading the book—but if you think about it carefully, you have to ask whether these things Dumbledore did have any impact on human society... ...She really can't tell.

After all, wizards seem to have always been insulated from Muggles, and they don't seem to want to be entangled with the Muggle world at all, so that many times the books Hermione reads feel like things that happened on another planet , feeling completely different from the world she inhabits.

At the same time, Hermione suddenly thought about a problem.

Do I really want to be a wizard?

What exactly do I think about my future?

Hermione didn't think about these issues too much before. At that time, she was very excited, excited, and happy when she received the notice and learned that she would become a wizard. And after coming to Hogwarts, Hermione was very happy with all the miraculous phenomena and existences she saw in front of her eyes.

But now after hearing what Ellie said, Hermione suddenly began to hesitate.

Do I really want to be a wizard in the future?

Indeed, if you think about it carefully, wizards are very powerful. For example, they can use magic wands to release witchcraft and make objects float-this kind of thing is definitely impossible in modern times, but what is the use of this?

There are also those black magic, which are very powerful, but when you think about the scenes you have seen in war movies, they seem to be similar?

Moreover, after becoming a wizard, what to do?

Wizards are not allowed to use magic in the Muggle world, which means that it is difficult for Hermione to use magic to help her parents, so work in the wizarding world? But what is the point of these jobs? Do you choose to be a teacher like Professor McGonagall? Or do something else?

For the first time, Hermione became confused about the future.
