Chapter 996 Elena’s Magic Potion

"Obviously, we will never initiate a war..."

Dumbledore said calmly, his eyes moving among the Major Arcana.

"This is also the reason why everyone gathers here. As a small group of people at the top of the magic world today, we should try to find the safest path in the complex world - eliminate wars, overcome obstacles, light the torch, and lead the way forward... …Is that so?”

"So what should we do now? The conflict between werewolves and the wizarding world is inevitable, and we have to make a choice."

Nico Flamel spread his hands, expressing his confusion.

This is also the doubt of Hermione, Luna, Hannah, and even "The Hermit" and "The Hanged Man".

They have no experience in conquering the world, saving the world, or dancing around the negotiation table. This question is really too difficult for them. No matter which one they choose, they will inevitably sacrifice the interests of the other party. This is terrible. Not a pleasant thing.

Elena glanced at Dumbledore and Grindelwald who were silent, snorted lightly, and spoke proactively.

"The Major Arcana never asks multiple-choice questions. This is the purpose. It may sound strange, but why not let them choose by themselves?"

"In the long history, the reason why the wizarding world hates werewolves is that they are irreversible. The viral ability of werewolves to transform humans makes the victims lose their choice. This is the core contradiction. All the bestiality and strength are just excuses... Freedom, that’s the point.”

"Whether it is a werewolf or a wizard, all living beings must crave freedom - the freedom to choose their own life."

"Choice? But...how do you plan to give them their lost rights again?"

Grindelwald raised his eyebrows and asked softly with interest.

He sat up straight again without realizing it, like an old man reviewing his granddaughter's study plan.

How is this possible... Is there really a win-win solution... Dumbledore didn't speak, he was surprised.

"It's very simple. It proves that werewolves are sick or special people."

Elena originally wanted to say something risqué, such as the enigmatic phrase "Render to Caesar what is Caesar's, to God what is God's, and to man to man what is God's."

But she resisted the urge to show off.

Because the main purpose of today is to solve the problem and the enlightenment class of the three little ones.

Dumbledore once said that whether they are the devil or the savior, their words and deeds determine the words and deeds of their future companions. Like a hot flame, all traces will be imprinted on their companions - she does not want Hermione, Luna , Hannah and the three of them turned into annoying Riddlers.

"This is impossible! Once a person turns into a werewolf, then..." Xenophilius subconsciously retorted.

"What is a werewolf? What is a human?"

Elena raised her eyebrows and asked calmly. Before the "hermit" could answer, she continued to ask and answer herself.

"The body and consciousness, generally speaking, are nothing more than these two judgment points - we call those who are different from us as non-human beings, and those who are the same as us as human beings. So when does a person cease to be a human being? Losing eyes, losing Limbs, or loss of internal organs? If someone were to dismantle a poor guy, when do you think you would be able to tell that he had transformed from a human into something else?"

Elena gradually stopped smiling and said softly indifferently.

"The answer is simple, from the moment he started to divide people to find the answer."

In her opinion, there are many ways to deal with the werewolf problem this time, but the real core is the wizard's long-standing arrogance and discrimination.

And this is also the biggest trouble for the future career of the Major Arcana, how to properly handle the conflicts between people with different characteristics, and this werewolf issue happens to be a very good attempt. Through this matter, she can target those stubborn groups, And try to push for some research.

Elena sat up straight, sorting through the contents in her mind, and spoke unhurriedly.

"The spread of werewolves is mainly through body fluids. This is not unusual. Its method of spread is very scientific - but this also means that it must have some kind of special host, something that can be observed and exists in the real world. …It’s enough to know this.”

"In the first century AD, a Muggle scholar named Plutarch once asked a question:"

“A long time ago, there was a Ship of Theseus that could sail the seas for hundreds of years, thanks to constant repairs and replacement parts.”

"As soon as a plank rots, it is replaced, and so on, until all the functional parts are no longer the original ones. Is this ship still the original Ship of Theseus? If so, But it no longer has any of the original wood; if not, when did it cease to exist? As for the problem of 'people', this problem is very easy to solve - "

"As long as the soul remains unchanged, we can start from the micro level and defeat the werewolf mutations one by one."

Blood transfusion, spinal cord transplantation, body remodeling...

There are so many unreasonable medical miracles in the wizarding world that she is not worried about not being able to solve the werewolf problem.

Even if it cannot be solved at the cellular level, replacing a body is not that difficult in the hands of the Major Arcana with the support of the magic stone. This is also the last trump card that Elena relies on. ——The Ship of Theseus in the human sense.

The question now is just when to play this card and how to see through the opponent's card bit by bit.

From beginning to end, they had only one opponent.

Stubborn old world.

Elena suppressed the irritability in her heart and continued to speak methodically.

"The scientific research article in Salzburg can be published. With our current power, we can easily complete 'cure' cases - cures in the true sense, and this is enough for the Ministry of Magic and the werewolf community in various countries to see Hope...hope is the most powerful weapon."

"If the werewolf could enter and exit freely, it would go from an uncontrollable nightmare to some kind of magical ability."

"The key is……"

Elena raised her finger and said quietly, her eyes staying on Nico Flamel, Dumbledore and Grindelwald for a few seconds.

"Werewolves are transformed from wizards and Muggles, and as far as I know, werewolves can see ghosts and perceive magical phenomena - this means that the barrier between the non-magical world and the magical world seems to be It’s not as strict as we thought, right?”

"And this is the goal that we should hide as much as possible and ultimately promote."

"The potion that gives everyone magical power, a real... potion."

With Elena's voice, an unimagined path appeared in everyone's minds.

What is the ultimate goal?

What was the original intention behind the founding of the Major Arcana?

Grindelwald suddenly remembered his and Dumbledore's past career, when wizards became the masters of the human world to allocate resources.

Different from their pursuit, the future imagined by Elena, the little lunatic, is obviously crazier and more dreamy.

"How high is the possibility? Regarding what Miss Fool just said -"

Dumbledore had obviously thought of this as well. He looked at the "magician" who was deep in thought and asked eagerly.

"Eighty to ninety percent, at least -"

Nico Flamel tapped his fingers on the edge of the table, sorting out his chaotic thoughts.

Well, the existence of the Philosopher's Stone means that the transformation from a werewolf to a human is most likely feasible.

On the other hand, as a standard magical creature, a werewolf can certainly come into contact with the magical world before and after it becomes a werewolf.

If there is a free entry and exit mechanism, then the "magic potion" Elena just mentioned is not a fantasy. Even if there is no way to turn those Muggles into wizards, it can at least allow them to complete the transition from Muggles to Squibs. That step change.

As for the remaining step...

Hogwarts "Magnetic Field", Quirinus Quirrell!

Nico Flamel's mind suddenly opened up, and he suddenly realized Elena's puzzle piece.

She had been working hard towards that goal from the moment the institute was established at Hogwarts.

From the beginning to the end, Elena's way of integrating the magical world and the non-magical world is not simply to be exposed to the public. She really wants to merge the magical civilization and the non-magical civilization together to form a complete, like a river. Ocean together.

"The Philosopher's Stone is still quite precious, but it's okay to create a 'cure' case to buy time."

After Nico Flamel pondered again for a moment, he nodded slowly and looked around at his friends.

"Then the 'Pope' is still responsible for communication with the Ministry of Magic. I will leave for Salzburg tomorrow to prepare to complete the first public werewolf cure operation in the wizarding world - as for the previous trial subject zero, and related Collaborative confidentiality..."

"Destiny Group can provide sufficient volunteers, don't worry-"

Grindelwald glanced at Dumbledore who was hesitant to speak, grinned, and added with a smile.

"There's no forcing, my God, they might even duel over it - you'll never understand the emotion."

"Then how will the SCPF respond? Will the 'Wizard in Black' be dispatched?"

Lockhart asked carefully, and he began to get a little excited. This was another historical change event.

Compared with those dull and boring rural stories of black magic, these are truly interesting and worthy of his energy to participate in. This is why he clearly has the opportunity to leave the organization, but he still chooses to board the Hyperion to continue. The biggest reason for working.

"Leave it to Mr. Pope and the Queen to communicate in this regard."

Elena's tense body gradually relaxed and she leaned comfortably on the captain's swivel chair.

"The matter of the Hogwarts chicken farm should be put in place first. You should complete the previous proposal first - as for the field work, we will postpone it until the news from Salzburg is released. , the things the Ministry of Magic has to consider are quite complicated."

"Believe me, if any large-scale cooperation is discussed three times in a row, it will probably be gone."

Elena shook her finger triumphantly and said with a smile.

During the rest of the time, the Major Arcana began to skillfully divide work and discuss with each other.

After experiencing the cooperation with the former Soviet Union, the recent containment and release of "SCP-017", and the Christmas snake catching plan, this discussion went extremely smoothly. Everyone is very clear about what they are capable of and what additional help they might need.

After everyone discussed the division of labor, Dumbledore finally took the initiative to adjourn the meeting and started taking action one by one.

"Enjoy your vacation, Miss Fool."

Dumbledore stood up, smiled at Elena and nodded.

It's up to these old guys to do the next thing, and it's not yet time for Elena to appear in person.

In fact, from Dumbledore's heart, he did not trust Elena to personally participate in certain actions.

This little witch is no better than those armchair theorists. In terms of her hands-on ability, even Grindelwald has to give her a thumbs up.

"If there is any progress, I will let Fox give you a message - don't scare the kid, it seems to be starting to like you."

After speaking, Dumbledore waved his wand and took the initiative to cut off the remote meeting.

On the other side, Elena also took out her wand and knocked on the table, cutting off the signal from the Hyperion side.

Watching the magic light and shadow in mid-air shatter and disappear, Elena looked at both sides of the conference table leisurely and gently raised a finger.

"One question, one dress."

"When you have no doubts or are unable to pay, we will take a bath and rest..."

Elena put away the "Fool Card" and put it back in her breast pocket, and added with a smile, "The time of Tarot Guardian is from the first teaching day when we return to Hogwarts Castle, which is next Monday. Start calculating, don’t think about any exchange conditions now.”

"Of course, you can also choose to hold back the problem until two days later."

In this last joyful, unlimited time, she wanted to enjoy the fun that the Major Arcana deserved.

As for the future, that was something to consider later, and no matter what happened, nothing could stop her from enjoying her vacation as originally planned.

She glanced at Hermione, who was feeling uncomfortable and hesitant to speak, and smiled happily like a little devil.

"Now, choose. My dear... Reserve Major Arcana."
