Chapter 123 Dialogue on a Moonlit Night

Dumbledore questioned why Kane was able to talk so lightly.

Kane didn't want to tell the truth, saying: "Some secrets are secrets because they are hidden deep and good for everyone."

Dumbledore laughed generously: "I, an old man, have been taught."

"If you care about things like time, then I can tell you that the time I have lived is about three times your age. The stage is a multiverse that may or may not be far away from here."

Dumbledore was a little puzzled. When he thought about it, it seemed that the secret Kane revealed now was very important, right?

Naturally, Kane will not explain it, and it is for your own good not to tell some truths. After all, not everyone has the will and cognition of the reincarnation who have experienced the tempering of the multiverse. If you know that you are just a low-dimensional creation, I am afraid you will Breaking down by questioning the meaning of your own existence.

Dumbledore wanted to find out more. He invited Kane to leave the rapidly melting ice island by boat.

After boarding the boat, Dumbledore waved his sleeves, and the boat broke through the water. He said, "I'm glad to hear that you can admit to your face that you are not some ancient witch."

"I don't think you particularly care about my parentage."

"But the quality of candor is worthy of recognition."

Kane pointed directly at the essence: "I think you mainly care about whether I love this world, the people who love this world."

"Well, that's a good question, is the answer yes?"

"It can be said for sure. I love this place, which is highly similar to my hometown. I also have the will to regard this place as my second homeland."

"I understand, you want to build this place into your home. But have you ever thought that this world doesn't just belong to you?"

"Think about it, seek common ground while reserving differences. I still have this mind."

"So how do you see the negative impact of change?"

"There will inevitably be labor pains. Whether it is the world of wizards or the world of mortals, the situation is far from good. I am not Tom Riddle. Compared with violence, I am more willing to use profit as a tool. The Magic Eye Chamber of Commerce will give this world The changes brought about are considered as an answer sheet I submitted. If you think something is wrong, please correct me."

"I worry about the corruption of the soul by money."

"That's not a reason to give up eating because of choking. There is nothing wrong with recognizing and pursuing a good, high-quality life."

Kane continued: "I have the ability, I see very far, I foresee the competition caused by the shrinking magical resources, and the hidden dangers brought to themselves and the extraordinary as the technological power of mortals grows stronger. Light Just looking at the macro data of population growth, it is not difficult to imagine how fierce the competition for resources will be in the future."

Dumbledore was silent. He was born in 1881, and he was a witness to the great development of human science and technology and the changes of modern civilization. He knew that what Kane said was not alarmist.

In fact, a figure like him who is in charge of the wizarding world, when he gets together with people of similar level, will also chat about high-level issues such as the future of the population.

The common view of wizards who have seen for a long time is that Muggles will reproduce the Great Destruction of the glorious era of magic within two hundred years, because of high-end knowledge, which is a burden that human souls cannot bear.

Dumbledore thought for a while, and said this statement.

Kane smiled, "Muggle scholars also have such worries. Although Ardo No and Max Horkheim are not from the same era, they have worked together to construct the book "Dialectics of Enlightenment". In the book, they put forward this statement: "

"It is said that human beings have always been on the road of pursuing wisdom and rationality. This is an enlightenment movement in a broad sense (not limited to Europe). In this process, human beings presuppose a good ending for the behavior of 'seeking knowledge' .But the truth is that nothing is good when it's taken to an extreme,

The result of blind pursuit of knowledge will be destructive. "

"The book believes that rationality contained its own paradoxes in the legend of Odysseus in ancient Greece. But in this century, the characteristics are even more obvious. Rationality seems to have become a product of quasi-religion."

"In the modern Muggle community, there is actually a concept of anti-rationalism. From a certain perspective, this is actually a self-consistent instinct of the human community. Once it goes too far in a certain aspect, there will be opposition With the emergence of theories, freedom and control, groups and individuals, self-interest and altruism, human beings are staggering forward in a series of contradictory philosophical concepts, and neither the past, the present, nor the future can jump out of this pattern."

"You also seem to have a lot of research in this area."

Kane smiled. He has indeed seen a lot of screaming big science and technology parties, big industrial parties, and cognitivists who raise knowledge to the level of belief. However, the main purpose of studying this knowledge is to deal with Cthulhu A series of enemies.

The characteristics of Cthulhu's system are in line with anti-rationalism. Anyone who tries to understand and learn the knowledge of God to obtain extraordinary power will end well.

His idea is very positive, and it will never be shaken, and the research is just a preparation for the strategy.

"I can't talk about research, but I have summed up the path I have taken. I have been doing one thing all my life, which is to keep moving forward. It is progress and preparation. It seems that I do this for two things. One is Like this time, to deal with all kinds of expected or unexpected emergencies, the other is to crush and push."

"So, this is actually a passive type. It seldom starts a war lightly, and tries not to touch the interests of others. And even if a war starts, it seldom makes the war protracted."

Dumbledore thought about Kane's series of emergency performances this time, and nodded, "Well, I believe what you said."

With that said, he handed the Sands of Time to Kane, "You are more suitable as the custodian of the Sands of Time than me."

Kane was also polite. After taking it, he put it into the Holy Grail in front of Dumbledore, and then shrank it into a pendant again, hanging it around his neck.

Dumbledore said: "I know the whereabouts of the other part of the Sands of Time."

Kane raised his eyebrows and said, "You are very persistent about the 1853 trip."

"Indeed, I suspect it has something to do with Apocalypse."

Kane frowned. This word, described in Chinese, means Revelation, and as a noun, it means the destruction of the world, cataclysm, and the end of the world.

He knew before that Dumbledore had dug a hole, but because it was an instant decision, he didn't think the hole would be too deep, and it should be within the range that Dumbledore's combat power could solve.

Only now do I know that Dumbledore really does not lack the spirit of death. This is obviously to dig out the truth of the key turning point in history (transcendence), which is no small matter.

"If it's an incident of this level, I have to use some dark means to achieve self-protection."

Dumbledore had anticipated the arrival of this moment in advance, but he did not expect it to be in this way of showdown consultation. He decided to continue to explore Kane's background to see what kind of cognition he has in this regard.

"Can you be more specific?" he asked.

"I admit that personality is equal, and I respect the objective fact that there are levels in reality. I agree with the statement that population is a resource, and I can sacrifice some people's lives with peace of mind. I admit that from an ethical and moral point of view, this is despicable and shameless Yes, but I'm not ashamed or regretful about it."

"You mean to say that you don't mind killing people to make yourself safe?"

"More than that, let's put it this way, taking risks like this is against my principles of conduct. Of course, I also know that it is normal life to be unprepared for my subordinates to deal with emergencies. So I have emergency means. Take this exploration operation as an example. When I arrived in 1853, the first thing I did was to screen the prisoners, sacrifice a batch of the guilty, and strengthen my own security through magic reform operations."

Dumbledore said: "This is probably the reason why many habitual criminals in Great Britain have gone to work overseas after being released from prison in the past two years, and then disappeared."

"Well, I admit it, but not long after, the Magic Eye Chamber of Commerce will launch a very universal drug, and cancer will be conquered."

Dumbledore was moved. He knew very well what effect the advent of this medicine would have on the Muggle world.

In fact, Kane originally planned to launch this drug after entering the 21st century, but the invasion of future people made him decide to speed up. The meaning of cancer killer is equivalent to black hemp in the wizarding world, and it is a stepping stone to lay the foundation , once it starts to operate, it cannot be overthrown by ordinary forces.

Dumbledore was also aware of Kane's worries. "You are worried about the wave of subversion, armed conflict, and subsequent vicious changes triggered by information leakage. Therefore, a series of strategic adjustments have been made."

"yes."

"Actually, I think this worry is superfluous. Money and hard power have been fully demonstrated. There are not many people who are greedy for profit and take risks."

"If there were no ancient gods, I would think so too."

Dumbledore was silent again, and it took a long time before he said, "A hopeless enemy."

Kane smiled: "I think there is an internal reason for the silence of the ancient gods and the rise of mankind."...
