Chapter 1025 Oh, Man——

In Elena's impression, Gilderoy Lockhart rarely had such serious moments.

As a best-selling novelist in the wizarding world, he is very active in front of reporters, but when the scene becomes a gathering of the Major Arcana, Lockhart usually behaves more silently and low-key, interrupting her frequently like this and analyzing methodically. The phenomenon discussed is quite rare.

If you think about it carefully, it seems that this change started with the "clearance" task of the institute last week.

However, Elena and others are very happy to see Lockhart's current changes.

Whether it's Dumbledore, Grindelwald, or even Scamander, these top wizards are after all remnants of the previous era.

As time goes by, if they don't take the elixir of life, they can last until Elena reaches adulthood.

After that, they may have to leave the world stage one after another and go to another more interesting adventure. By then, the middle-aged Lockhart and others will be the backbone of the future world.

Of course, on the other hand…

Elena glanced meaningfully at Lockhart, her eyes sweeping over Arkhipovna's hot figure.

As a woman from a fighting nation, in addition to her extraordinary IQ, Arkhipovna is also particularly eye-catching in terms of "personal capital". Even a relatively loose researcher's white coat cannot hide her arrogance. Human arc.

Could it be that? Is this what prompted Lockhart's transformation?

Hey, man...

Elena raised her eyebrows and added meaningfully.

"Well, Mr. Lockhart, don't worry - I care more about the scholar's safety than you do."

Lockhart touched his nose without any embarrassment and did not continue to speak.

Elena noticed the sight not far away. She turned her head again and found Grindelwald staring at her thoughtfully.

"What's wrong?" She asked with a curious smile, "Do you have any worries or questions?"

"I'm wondering from which world standpoint do you stand on when measuring the importance of a certain research?"

Grindelwald said softly, and the old man's eyes stayed on Arkhipovna's face for a moment, not hiding his suspicion at all.

"There is no precedent for Muggles ordering wizards in history, but the previous reasons were royal power and divine power... I have never heard of gaining power due to certain research or academics, let alone this, um... A gadget made by Muggles to do math?"

The old devil considered a few words, and finally chose a more neutral description for Elena's sake.

However, judging from his contemptuous and weird expression, it was almost as if there were four big words written directly on his face - strange skills and obscene skills.

As the Demon King who nearly overthrew Europe and even the world, Grindelwald would certainly not fail to understand the usefulness of these Muggle "things".

But in his time, the early role of electronic computers was still reflected in the research of basic theories, and did not show the power to affect social forms. At least in Grindelwald's eyes, the importance and priority of these things in the magical world Not too high.

Wizards almost never calculate the answer, because magic itself is the answer.

A Muggle-made... gadget for counting?

After looking at the expression of the first-generation Old Demon King, Elena felt a little funny inexplicably.

"Do you think I overestimate the importance of the 'computer' field because of my 'Muggle mindset'?"

"Absolutely," Grindelwald spread his hands, "Promoting a Muggle researcher to a Class A member means that the Major Arcana can promote more Muggles to important positions in the future. This does not only involve superiors and subordinates. The difference in strength between them, and more importantly - most of the academic achievements in the non-magical world are meaningless in the magical world...Computer? How many places can you get this thing?"

"If it could extend an invisible spider web to cover the world and record information without being limited by time or space, would you think it would be important?"

Grindelwald thought for a moment, glanced at Elena, and waved his hand casually.

"Then the wizarding world can truly control the entire human civilization, and even have the opportunity to establish an eternal kingdom."

"Although I don't understand what the spider web you are talking about is, if you really create something that covers the whole world, and can control it anytime and anywhere, then it is almost like directly controlling the world - with this kind of difficulty, I I think it would be better to conquer the world directly by force."

After a pause for a few seconds, the old man grinned, his voice full of joking.

"You know, right? Decades ago, there was a wizard who almost achieved this goal. You just copy the homework."

Elena: "...The premise is that he must first become the best in the world. At least he cannot lose in a one-on-one match."

Grindelwald's expression froze.

He has lost a total of three times in his life, and two of them were considered domestic violence.

If he didn't have to worry about the vest issue a little bit, he could have a good argument with this girl now.

"Uh, Miss Kaslana, what do you mean... do you plan to build the Internet at the same time?"

At the same time, Arkhipovna, who had been beside her, frowned and asked softly with some uncertainty.

"If it is a problem in this area, I may not be able to give much guidance and help - I may be able to solve the conversion between magic wavelengths, currents, and even the construction of ternary computers, but based on algorithms , Internet, these are not what I am good at..."

"Well, these are actually the most important-"

Elena said without hesitation, counting carefully with her fingers.

“Energy, materials, and algorithms—these three points are almost equivalent to the core elements of every civilization era.”

"Except for the last point, well, we can become a 'way of thinking', the other two points are all actual effects in the real world, and they are also key factors that determine the upper and lower limits of each era... Just like the Bronze Age can Defeating the Stone Age with ease.”

"Therefore, as the core person in charge who may influence the development direction of energy and materials, you are certainly qualified to be promoted to an A-level member."

"In short, are you willing to take on more responsibilities and officially step into our world?"

Elena simply explained a few words, not caring whether the other party could understand them.

Arkhipovna is very important, but she is not irreplaceable.

If she chooses to give up, then she will naturally remove the list of core members of the "Hogwarts Institute" and replace it with another researcher who is willing to participate in the integration of magic and technology. Although it may be more troublesome, these processes are necessary. .

"If I join you...and become that so-called A-class member, then do I belong to the magic world?"

Arkhipovna crossed her arms across her chest and asked curiously, "In this way, am I qualified to use that mirror and see the balance point between magic waves and electromagnetism? How can you guarantee that I can see the 'answer'?"

"Well, correct me on two points——"

Elena shrugged, raised two fingers, and said seriously.

"First of all, it's not the magical world, and certainly not the non-magical world - what you arrived at is the 'new world'."

"second……"

A strange light flashed in her lake-blue eyes, and she spoke softly with a half-smile.

"The Mirror of Erised is a very magical mirror. Under the influence of magic, I am at least 90% sure that you can see the 'answer', but the premise is that you must tell us the result candidly, regardless of What’s the result?”

As she spoke, Elena pulled out a blank piece of parchment from her chest, and lightly touched the wand on it.

Then, ink bloomed from the tip of her staff.

Like spreading cracks, it quickly covered the parchment in a matter of seconds.

"This is a contract. It does not have any special magical effect - but it represents your attitude."

Elena flicked the parchment in her hand, and did not hand it to Arkhipovna first, but handed it to Gilderoy Lockhart who was standing not far from her.

"Take a look first, Mr. Hanged Man. This is your scope of work. Of course, you can also choose to transfer it."

"Huh? My... scope of work?"

Lockhart was stunned for half a second, then subconsciously reached out and took the newly formed parchment contract.

On the other side, several copies created by Elena using the copying spell were also peeled off from the parchment and handed over to Grindelwald, Dumbledore, and the other three little witches. Of course, the last one The portion was still handed to Arkhipovna's hands.

"This is actually a composite agreement with several ultimate goals..."

Elena clapped her hands and explained while observing the expressions of everyone in the room.

"Considering the importance of A-class members, simple memory tracing is still necessary during this exceptional promotion - the requirement to open the memory may be a bit difficult, but it is a necessary price. Of course, the most important point is , this is also to establish rules..."

"The previous use of the Mirror of Erised was too wasteful and arbitrary..."

In theory, people can selectively see different scenes in the mirror.

In the fields of scientific research and insight, this can undoubtedly greatly promote the combination speed of "chaos aura" in people's brains.

Just as Elena saw the future after the integration of magic and science in the Mirror of Erised, the magic and science products that appeared around Hermione, Hannah, and Luna were all vague concepts in her mind before. But after visual presentation, it all becomes a clear image.

This also means that the Mirror of Erised has some kind of fuzzy algorithm.

It has a certain probability that people's desire for the "unknown" can be transformed into visual images of the "known".

In other words, if someone stuck in the field of basic science saw the magic mirror, they would most likely see the "answer" directly.

The more crucial point is...

There is also a very strange loophole in the Mirror of Erised.

However, you must be extremely cautious when using this vulnerability.
