A Will Eternal Chapter 326
Influenced by Kane, the young wizards of Hogwarts today are much stronger than those in the original history line.
First of all, it is strong in consciousness.
Of course, their combat literacy is cultivated in confrontation games, and there is still a gap between them and actual combat. Even if they think they can do it, it's hard to say how much they can perform in actual combat.
However, the Glenfinan Viaduct incident that happened two months ago stimulated the young wizards to a considerable extent. Some seniors were no longer satisfied with simulated battles and engaged in wizard duels in private. He suffered a medical malpractice and was severely deducted points by the college.
Generally speaking, the little wizards are more rough and fierce than the original history line, especially the Gryffindor cubs who are always energetic. They are stupid, they develop combos, tactics and so on, but they are set in one set.
As the dean of the branch, Professor Minerva McGonagall once shouted angrily that if she failed more than two subjects, she would be prohibited from joining the War Witch Club and using magic stars.
This really frightened the little wizards for a time.
But they soon discovered that at Hogwarts, apart from Kane Shafik, the creator of the magic star, perhaps only the headmaster, Dumbledore, could stop the apprentices from using the magic star.
Not very sure, Dumbledore has never made a move, and the little wizards speculate that this is mainly because Dumbledore is a famous swordsman who has accumulated power for a long time, and many little wizards are listening to Dumbledore's legendary stories Growing up, some even thought that even Kane might not be Dumbledore's opponent.
Since the headmaster didn't care about things, and Professor McGonagall couldn't help it, the little wizards soon went their own way again. As for not being allowed to participate in the War Witch Club, then play actual combat.
In the end, Professor McGonagall, who loves students, compromised. She felt that the magic used by little wizards in wizard duels was very dangerous, and the battles were fierce and cruel. They were easy to get injured and even died. It was better to be safer in a virtual environment.
Fighting mentality + magic stars, this is what wizard apprentices rely on.
The little wizards in the original history line were basically clueless about casting spells in battle.
Even Harry, the savior who has been tossing around since the first grade and always makes some moths every year, is like a headless chicken in this respect. When things go wrong, he basically acts on the spot and uses instinct, and basically has no ideas in his head.
Even so, in '94, he was able to organize Dumbledore's Army, be a duel instructor,
Share some magic experience.
It can be said that Hogwarts wizard apprentices, except for a few characters, are mostly combat scum, and the magic they learn can only tease mortals, provided that the other party does not know enough about wizards and magic.
If now, encountering the special service team under Mortal Britain's fifth branch, many wizards would be taught to be human in minutes.
In fact, this kind of thing has happened.
It was an armed conflict triggered by smuggling.
The Shafik family suddenly and comprehensively interrupted most of their businesses, raw material collection, processing, and magic item manufacturing. This industrial chain suffered an extremely serious blow.
Of course, Shafiq strictly abides by the spirit of the contract, and has compensated all related persons and groups for breach of contract, including upstream and downstream material providers and item sellers.
But more or less people who made a lot of money are not happy, and the business is gone. This is a steady stream of business, and it is a job to support their families and maintain their livelihoods.
Of course, without Zhang Butcher, everyone may not necessarily eat hairy pigs. In the words of some people: "Shafiq is so self-willed, it's actually better to leave early, at least the original producers, the business shortage is not too severe."
This is actually an objective fact similar to the fact that large factories have forced handicraft workshops into bankruptcy.
The rise of Shafiq has caused some people to lose their jobs. Simply because the wizarding world has a small population and a small industry scale, Kane can pretend to be rich but benevolent, provide employment training, make work easier, and earn a lot more money than before. became a part-time job.
Some people can't accept it. They stick to the traditional handicrafts handed down from their ancestors. Shafik didn't kill them all. Through his own influence, he let the Ministry of Magic support some of them that do have their own characteristics, which is to protect the cultural heritage of wizards.
Now that Shafiq has suddenly shut down its license plate, leaving a lot of market share, a group of so-called "masters" are alive again. Of course, there are ghosts and snakes jumping up and down, and some even use the signboard of "Shafiq Family Authorization" Charming.
To be fair, Kane's resignation caused the biggest harm to the entire wizarding world, especially the British wizarding world, not economically.
No one is a fool, everyone knows how to imitate a copycat! Your golden idea is the first to eat crabs. This is accepted by everyone, but you can’t stop everyone from following suit and drinking some crab soup, right?
Therefore, a new production and sales model has been formed, the market has been developed, or people's new consumption habits have been cultivated. In this context, Shafik withdrew, and some people filled in, even if they were substandard, not as good as before, but overall, the difference is not too big.
It is nothing more than that the original Shafiq family relied on the magic industry, with high quality and low price, famous brand name, and almost monopolized in many industries. Now, however, there is a group of good and bad industry players competing openly and secretly. Being the boss of consumers is not as comfortable as it used to be, and it takes time to select and measure.
Kane's angry departure, the biggest harm to the wizarding world, is actually the withdrawal of restraint.
The Shafiq family has always been strong, I can give more money, and the rules, but I have the final say, if you want to get this high salary, you have to listen to me.
This style extends from the professional field it operates to almost all fields. Including the impact on public order, security and other aspects.
Not to mention anything else, let’s talk about what happened to Grindelwald after he escaped from prison. He was chased and intercepted by a wizard with a bounty of 100,000. In the end he was arrested. It's aggrieved and desolate, but it also shows the Shafiq family's despotic power very well.
Later, they joined hands with the Mortal World officials, thousands of wizards participated, and thousands of surprise search teams acted at the same time, and wiped out all the living corpses distributed in the UK in one fell swoop. It also demonstrates the Shafiq family's strong field control ability and command ability.
Others, such as the attack on Heathrow Airport, the live train and the Dawn of the Gods' battle group fighting in the abandoned subway tunnel, etc., can be regarded as showing off their muscles. Shafiq's private soldiers are indeed fierce.
And all of these constitute an invisible protective shield of order, and of course some people call it covering the sky with one hand.
Anyway, the result is that, no matter who it is, if they want to do something crooked, they have to think about whether they will provoke the Shafiq family. After all, once it is provoked, the cost will be unacceptably high immediately, and generally no one will do a loss-making business.
As a result, the Shafiq family was suddenly kicked out, and they simply left this world. Well, in the eyes of many people, this running method is indeed super compelling. But it also made many people feel like 49 years ago.
The pressure on his body was almost three big mountains, and finally moved away. Brother Hou's spirit burst out immediately, and he was full of blood and energy, so he wanted to play hard.
rule? Lao Tzu exists to smash the rules to pieces. How can I get rich if I don't smash the old rules? If you want to make a fortune, you must follow the rules that are beneficial to Lao Tzu.
It's not that there is a revolution, after all, it's just asking for money, so in less than a month, chaos unfolded, which can be called a group of demons dancing wildly.
However, before Shafik left, the British Isle was already in a unified state, and the cooperation between Transcendence and Mortal World became closer. Foreign Transcendents who landed in England would be subject to security checks by the joint police.
This new way of playing has absorbed the Mortal Customs system to a large extent. It is formal and professional, and it is far from the ridiculous big government bureaucracy of the Ministry of Magic in the past.
Some wizards who make troubles lack the ability to adapt to changes, and still use the old way of thinking to deal with smuggling business. In the words of a mortal joint policeman: "After working for a period of time, I really doubt the IQ of wizards. In theory, they should be very smart if they can learn magic. But their behavior is really stupid. I am 4 years old. The sons of my sons are better at tricks than they are."
To put it bluntly, it is a child's note, just cover it up and try to get away with it, and even tell nonsense with your eyes open, so that many times the ordinary police are thinking about whether the other party is deliberately playing tricks.
No, it’s not intentional, it’s just the kind of stupid people who live in the past tense. It doesn’t matter if they are conservative or not enterprising. In short, people sometimes become stupid, just like the kind of people who rob a bank and fail to pass the turnstile The thief is unbelievable and gimmick.
Perhaps it is also because of their stupidity that these wizards are often dangerous, with a violent temper, without much restraint in their heads, and they dare to violently kill people if they can't deal with it in a few words, and kill them on the spot.
As a result, a mortal policeman was suddenly cast with the Cruciatus Curse from the Unforgivable Curses.
This mortal policeman is a professional soldier selected from the professional violence agency Zhongjing. He has a very high combat quality. He immediately judged that this is a forbidden spell based on the light color of the magic and the damage of the small body protection kit on his body. Immediately Draw a gun and fight back, one shot to the head, two shots to the heart, the wizard failed to cast the second magic, and he couldn't die anymore.
No way, in terms of physical reaction, wizards are not much stronger than mortals, and even slightly worse. After all, mortal professionals just draw their guns quickly from the quick-drawing holster, and the audience does not know how many times they have practiced.
In fact, before this incident, there had been a joint law enforcement exchange of fire with poachers, and wizards were shot dead by mortals with rifles and sniper rifles. It's just that this incident happened in a customs-like event, which is considered a public place and has a relatively large impact.
Not to mention how the case will be qualitatively handled in the end, some things it reveals make people think deeply. Many people in the mortal world feel that they have seen the strength of wizards clearly.
It can be said that Shafiq's departure not only led to the collapse of the order of the wizarding world, but also exposed the weak side of wizards to the mortal world.
This is a double crisis. The outlaws among the wizards are doing something wrong. The mortal world sees the weakness of the wizards, and coveting extraordinary resources, creations, and knowledge is the other. If you count terrorists like Voldemort and evil gods , that is triple.
With the pressure of the new three mountains, some people finally really feel the pressure. And finally realized, what kind of pressure the Shafiq family has been carrying behind the enviable achievements in the past.
It is reasonable for Kane to go away in anger. The small society of wizards is actually an old dilapidated house. It is necessary to package it as a cultural relic to elevate it. to keep it from collapsing.
From a certain point of view, Kane, who brought the wizarding world into line with the mainstream world, is actually doing this kind of paperworker's work. It is necessary to interact with the mortal world to invigorate the economy of the wizarding world, and wizards have to be strong in front of mortals and have dry goods, so that people can be in awe and willing to deal with you.
A wizard who is out of touch with the times is nothing more than being an uncle. Kane’s goal is not money. There are not many wizards in the British wizarding world. If everyone is paid a salary, isn’t there just over 7,000 people? This is not a problem for the Shafiq Group, which is quickly moving closer to the Concern model.
But besides being an uncle, he pretended to be a Virgin Mary, pointing fingers at what was right and what was wrong. This Kane is tired and crooked. One or two of Du Nima are living in a dream, I simply pulled my hand, let you feel the storm of reality, this is not a pure HP world, why should you be a master? Is love invincible?
Dumbledore's benevolence has repeatedly hit a wall since Kane left.
Kane fights with him, and if he loses, he won't hate him, at most he just finds him annoying. And if you can't argue, Kane will really stop, instead of arguing and doing it.
But others are not as straightforward as Kane. The first is the pressure from the International Federation of Magic and the Ministry of Magic of other countries.
The main thrust of these pressures is to obtain relevant rights and interests in Kane's legacy. Among them, there are even acts of blackmail based on false contracts.
The headmaster of Hogwarts is indeed very noble, but Dumbledore is first and foremost an English wizard. As a highly respected and important figure, the interests of the British wizarding community have been harmed. He cannot sit idly by. Today he dares to turn a blind eye to such matters , then Hogsmeade Town, Hogwarts shares, I am afraid there will be an argument.
Some people from the International Federation of Magic boasted that Fir Villa is Shafik’s legacy to all wizards, and that it should be allowed to be visited by the public, and related technologies should also be open. Wizards can no longer cherish their brooms and work behind closed doors.
Of course, this is just a trial. But it also shows the coveting heart of the wizards.
In stark contrast to the pressure from foreign wizards, it was the British official revisiting the Glenfinnan Viaduct Incident.
What is the official representative talking about? This bridge is the world's first reinforced concrete viaduct, a cultural heritage, and to put it bluntly, it requires money.
But the real purpose is not to ask for money. Asking for money is just an entry point to talk about the special line of the Hogwarts Express, including platform nine and three-quarters, and then to Hogwarts. In general, it's about making things happen.
None of these things can be resolved smoothly, and they are all dragging on, but how long can they drag on?
Then the Abyss broke out, Hogwarts was attacked, and there was another one, Azkaban was attacked, and the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic were unable to rush to reinforce Hogwarts because of Azkaban.
There are a lot of people who are imprisoned there, and there is a precedent for rescuing prisoners. Hogwarts at least has a castle circle to rely on. What does Azkaban have? Those dementors who are also dark creatures?
Dumbledore was in pain, as if the whole world had become bad in a short period of time.
"So, is this the original appearance of this world?" He felt that among the mistakes he made in the past, driving Kane away in anger was probably one of them.
Of course, this is Dumbledore exalting himself, and Kane left not only because he didn't deal with him...
