Chapter 558 Nick: If It Weren’t for This Book, I Wouldn’t Have Known You Had Such Ambitions

After bidding farewell to Ivan, Nick Flamel sat on the sofa in the living room with the drawings, drinking morning tea while thinking about ideas for improving the device.

At this moment, there was a sudden "dong-dong" sound going down the stairs not far away, which sounded very urgent.

Nick Flamel turned his head and looked over strangely, and saw a seventy-centimeter-tall little robot jumping down the stairs quickly, holding a book.

Perhaps because he was not tall and was too anxious, the little robot failed to step on the right step. His body suddenly lost balance and fell heavily on the next step. It just "thumped" all the way. It rolled down.

The alchemy creatures that made up the robots screamed in panic, holding on to their companions with both hands, but under the action of inertia, many peripheral alchemy creatures were still thrown away, and finally hit the ground. At that time, it fell apart and shattered into pieces.

Seeing this scene, Nick Flamel shook his head. It seemed that these alchemical creatures needed to be improved.

The "little carrot heads" who were scattered on the ground quickly regrouped after being panicked for a few seconds.

However, they did not group together. Instead, like ants moving, they lifted up the thick booklet and slowly moved it in front of Nick Flamel.

"What is this?" Nick Flamel picked up the brochure curiously, and was attracted by the picture on the cover.

"New Century Manifesto"?

Nick Flamel looked at the name in the brochure and couldn't help but frowned.

The little alchemy creatures were chattering. Although they all sounded meaningless words such as "Ulala", Nick Flamel was able to accurately hear what they wanted to express.

"It turns out you found it in the corner of Hals' room." Nick Flamel nodded. It should be something Ivan forgot.

Nick Flamel took out his wand and wanted to cast a spell to notify Dumbledore, ask Fawkes to pick it up, and return it to Ivan when he arrived at school.

Just looking at the picture on the cover of the album, Nick Flamel hesitated.

This kind of thing that is easy to carry around and painted with strange patterns always reminds him of the catastrophe that spread across Europe decades ago.

When Grindelwald first emerged in the European wizarding world, he often promoted his ideas through speeches and distributing pamphlets.

In his opinion, this "Manifesto of the New Century" is probably the same thing, and Nick Flamel couldn't help but worry that Ivan would be deceived by others.

After all, a fourteen-year-old or fifteen-year-old wizard is in the process of shaping his outlook on life and is very easily influenced by some extreme ideas, leading him to go astray. Nick Flamel had intended to accept Ivan as his disciple, so he was even less likely to let it go. .

Thinking of this, Nick Flamel tried to open the page of the book, and then saw the preface above.

[We should measure the value of a wizard by his magical level rather than his bloodline - Ivan Hals]

After seeing the content of the preface and the final signature, Nick Flamel's face changed slightly and he seemed a little surprised.

Nick Flamel had previously thought that this "Manifesto of the New Century" was given to Ivan by someone who wanted to influence him, but he did not expect that the situation was exactly the opposite. The contents of this booklet were written by Ivan himself. It seems that It is intended to illustrate a certain idea

"Anti-blood theory?"

Nick Flamel raised his eyebrows and guessed something from the few sentences in the preface. After hesitating for a moment, he continued to read.

The more he looked at Nick Flamel, the more serious his expression became, but it soon turned into a thoughtful look.

Because he discovered that what was written in the "New Century Manifesto" was not simply against pure blood, nor did it mean to beat pure blood wizards to death with a stick, but to promote equality and try to weaken the advantages and influence of pure blood wizards.

Some of the ideas elaborated in it also interested Nick Flamel. They were all aimed at the shortcomings of the current magical world and seemed to incorporate some Muggle ideas.

As for the part where Ivan deified himself, Nick Flamel ignored it. Personality worship is the most common method used by emerging forces.

"I never expected Hals to have such profound thoughts at such an age." After seeing the end, Nick Flamel slowly put down the booklet and couldn't help but sigh.

It is normal for a young wizard to suddenly have the idea of ​​​​changing the magical world. What is really rare is that Ivan can analyze the reasons and come up with some plans.

"Genius?" Nick Flamel muttered to himself.

He thought of the conversation he had with Dumbledore last year. It was no wonder that the most powerful white wizard in England paid so much attention to Ivan Hals and was even a little afraid of him.

Now he finally understands

In the past month and a half we have been together in this mansion, Ivan has been gentle and polite, like a precocious boy. If it weren't for this "Manifesto of the New Century", Nick Flamel would never have imagined that Ivan actually hid this secret. Such great ambition!

This skill of disguise and forbearance is really shocking!

"No, no, I shouldn't be pretending." Nick Flamel shook his head and rejected the idea. He has lived for more than six hundred years, so he naturally has a way of looking at people. No matter what a teenage wizard, There's no reason why you can't hide it from him by pretending.

There is no conflict between having great ambitions and being gentle and polite.

"It's a pity, it's still a bit tender," Nick Flamel said with a sigh as he looked at the booklet placed on the table.

The concept of ignoring bloodline and everyone being equal based on ability is too idealistic. It is okay to shout slogans in daily life. If you want to truly implement it in the magic world, there will be great resistance, and you will inevitably encounter opposition from all sides.

Of course, in Nick Flamel's view, these are just trivial matters. With Ivan's talent, there will be no rivals in the magic world in ten years. At worst, he can just crush him.

The important thing is that Ivan wants to completely reform the magical world and promote communication between Muggles and wizards. This will touch the bottom line of many people, break the hundreds of years of tacit understanding between Muggles and wizards, and cause unpredictable situations. s consequence.

You must know that signing the Secrecy Act to isolate the wizarding world from Muggles is not just a move in England or a region in Europe, but is the consensus of the entire wizarding world!

Over the course of hundreds of years, many smart people could see that the balance of power between wizards and Muggles was gradually tilting towards the latter.

There are many wizards who want to fight and break the tradition, and Grindelwald is only the most radical one in the past hundred years!

But without exception these people failed

Those in power who extinguished the flames of reform are certainly not fools, because isolating the Muggle world from the magical world is precisely the mildest and only feasible measure they can think of!
