Chapter 307 The Real Big Plan
"Dark magic? What a good reason."
Grindelwald hummed softly, patted the graphite dust in his palm onto the bedside table, pulled up a stool and sat down next to the two of them, crossed his arms and nodded, saying sarcastically.
"Yes, any curse that seems a little bit dangerous, or that cannot be restored in a short time, or that cannot be solved by magic, will be labeled as black magic, and then locked into the dust of history - it's really A convenient and quick way to deal with it. I finally know why the magic world has become more and more mediocre over the years."
As the first-generation Dark Lord, Grindelwald was no stranger to this method of coping.
After all, the Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry he once attended was famous for its study of black magic, and the reason why he was expelled from the school was because he went too far on this path and made too much noise. The school had to react - in fact, he had learned a little bit about it in the past few days, and most of the spells he had researched were included in the category of black magic.
"Albus, why did you cast the spell so easily just now? Not that I'm looking down on you, but the 'forbidden black magic' that can make this little guy so embarrassed doesn't seem to be as simple as you showed."
Grindelwald paused, then touched his chin thoughtfully with his right hand, and asked with implicit concern about the real reason for Elena's fainting - the magic power in this little mixed-blood Veela was at least not weak. A normal little wizard of sixteen or seventeen years old.
"Knowledge, experience and magic."
Dumbledore smiled slightly, placed his fingers on his knees, and replied calmly:
"Perhaps you should read more about the ancient alchemy documents in my room. Detection, understanding, separation... This is the basic way that wizards studied alchemy magic and transformation magic a long time ago. Therefore, this spell is named Solution Leave the curse."
As he spoke, Dumbledore twirled his fingers in the dust and drew an inward circle.
"It's like a wonderful loop - the deeper you explore something, the clearer you will understand the nature of things; and the clearer you understand the nature of things, the easier the process of discovering and getting results will be."
"The power of knowledge, but it's not science at all, it's not magic...well, it's quite philosophical."
Elena couldn't help but murmured in a low voice and curled her lips with emotion.
Magic, or occultism, has always been complementary to science. This is an undeniable historical origin even in the modern scientific community. In fact, the word "science" really appeared around the eighteenth century, which was the time when the magical world and the non-magical world were officially separated.
Before that, people had a unified name for studying the laws of nature and the universe - "natural philosophy". The so-called PhD now actually means doctor of natural philosophy in Latin.
For example, Newton's masterpiece is called "Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy" rather than "Mathematical Principles of Science".
In Elena's view, natural philosophy is like a mixture of science and magic, trying to use two dimensions to find a balance point to explain the world, and Dumbledore's popular science and magic display undoubtedly proves that she has always been conjecture since.
Needless to say, human beings' exploration of the world will not change whether they have magic or not.
"What you just did was very reckless and dangerous, do you know that?"
Dumbledore's blue eyes looked at Elena quietly through his half-moon glasses and said in a deep voice.
"The reason why the Ministry of Magic sets the Dissociation Spell as a black magic is not just because of the destructive power it may produce, but also because of the unguided private practice, which is too dangerous for wizards. Before trying this Before magic, you had to complete a lot of learning and memorizing in books and textbooks."
"Well, I already know."
The little hair on Elena's head shook listlessly. It felt terrible to have to obey instructions.
For Elena, Albus Dumbledore's words were not difficult to understand.
It is true that magic is a very convenient existence. Most of the time, as long as the result is clearly determined, it can find a way to reach the final goal through some wonderful mechanism and bypass the intermediate process-but, it is like long jump and long jump. Just like wormhole traversal, the length of the blank in the middle process determines the difficulty of realizing a magic to a certain extent.
"It is neither your duty nor any necessity to explore the origin of transformed matter. No wizard can complete the cornerstone of the entire alchemy, not even Nick Flamel and Paracelsus... Well, I It’s not that you…even them can’t do this.”
Dumbledore glanced at the old wizard sitting on the stool next to him with slight disgust, paused, continued to look at Elena and said with a smile.
"I think you should understand what you are lacking and the knowledge you need to learn. If you are really interested, I will actually be happy to give you a little help..."
During the long history, countless wizards who have outstandingly studied alchemy have accumulated quite rich records.
Hitting firewood with a dissociation spell will produce a large amount of graphite and a small amount of diamonds, and may also cause flames and explosions - this is knowledge recorded in "Elementary Alchemy".
There is no doubt that in Dumbledore's opinion, the reason for Elena's fainting was very simple: she rashly tried to analyze the origin of the match, and although she was lucky enough to get the result of the magic feedback, she was temporarily deprived of strength due to excessive consumption.
"um, yes."
Elena nodded seriously, and sat up straight under Dumbledore's appreciative smile.
For a long time, Elena has been proud of her prophetic status as a time traveler. It was not until this moment that she realized clearly that she was still too immature if viewed from the perspective of the entire long history.
You know, the technological level in previous lives was just on the edge of light nuclear fusion.
The so-called refusion is just a scientific hypothesis and goal derived from observing the activities of stars. It is too greedy to rely on magic shortcuts to complete a total of 26 steps of fusion trajectory from hydrogen to iron in one go. .
"On my own, I am simply too willful and arrogant. We need a team, or more than one team, to analyze and study all this and complete the most basic theoretical foundation - Oh, my God, why didn't I do it before? Think of that."
Elena hammered her palm hard and licked her lips excitedly, her eyes shining brightly.
With the sudden collapse of the furry bear, the most precious wealth left in the world is not just the cold value plunder in monetary figures.
People, especially the top geniuses, are the most valuable asset that Mao Xiong has left in this world.
The vague dream just now gave her the most important reminder - now, a group of the world's top nuclear physicists, mathematicians, and chemists are about to lose their jobs.
But, luckily, only she and Dumbledore have seen this in advance.
"Professor Dumbledore, thank you for your help and tips, I understand!"
Elena said eagerly, her whole body filled with motivation for a moment.
"There are still three months left, which is enough time to prepare all the human and financial resources, as well as the advance layout to snatch top scientific researchers - there is no doubt that in terms of economic and material conditions, we can compare with any non-magical country Everyone must be generous, not to mention, there should be very few people who can refuse an olive branch from the magical world, right?"
"Very good, I will prepare some lessons about alchemy later..."
Dumbledore smiled, and was about to continue speaking according to his previous logic, when he suddenly got stuck, and looked at the white-haired dumpling in front of him with a blank expression that suddenly fell into an excited state - in his impression, the above The first time she looked like this was after she mortgaged Hogwarts.
The old man looked at Elena, who was excited and started to explain the new plan, and pursed her lips.
"...???"
"I see, Gringotts is just a part of it. The purpose is to make the magical world give in a little bit. Those scientists who are not from the magical world... Is this your attempt to merge the two worlds, Albus? It's really unexpected. , but it is in line with your character. If I had the courage like you at that time, maybe we would have succeeded."
A look of sudden realization flashed across Grindelwald's face, he patted his thigh and said with a look of admiration.
After so many years, the social situation in the non-magical world and the magical world has undergone earth-shaking changes compared to a few decades ago. Both the destructive power and the social structure have risen several levels.
Before this, Grindelwald had been worried that one day the magical world would completely die out, and the wizards lurking in the shadows would one day be like rats in the ditch, unexpectedly exposed to the sight of the non-magical world for some reason. , and then go through a war with almost no chance of winning - magic will not die, but the magical world may disappear.
"Don't worry, my old friends will also fully participate in this plan. After so many years, it's time for everyone to move around... while we can still wave the magic wand and use our remaining energy."
Grindelwald grinned, every wrinkle on his face showing an expression of pleasure, and his tone was full of eagerness to try.
Dumbledore blinked, his expression slightly stiff, and he subconsciously turned his head to look at Grindelwald.
"???"
These two people, in the end...
"It makes sense. If necessary, a certain amount of force is indeed needed to support it."
Elena nodded seriously and touched her flat belly, "Let's go to the kitchen to get some food, I'll do it, and then we'll talk while eating?"
"Albus, don't be in a daze, there's nothing to be embarrassed about. This little guy's cooking skills are very good."
Grindelwald patted the hesitant Dumbledore's shoulder hard, interrupted the old man's unorganized words, grinned and said, "Let's go, I don't know how to get to the Hogwarts kitchen." ."
