Chapter 684 Negotiation (Sincere Thanks to the Leader of the Alliance, Tuodao Tang)
"Nowadays, in their school career, wizards can only come into contact with and understand a little bit of black magic in the sixth and seventh grade. They graduate with only a superficial understanding, so that those wizards who are interested in black magic do not graduate until they graduate. At that time, the foundation in this area was not even considered to be an introduction. Without knowing the dangers, they would explore on their own and carry out dangerous research practices. Rather than doing this, it is better to lay a solid foundation for them at the beginning, instead of having any knowledge blind spots, regardless of They will not study black magic in the future, but at least they can master the basic knowledge and know what to pay attention to when doing research, so that they can avoid the dangers they encounter in blind research." Allen raised his eyebrows and looked directly into the other person's eyes, " And on the other hand, in the next possible battle, they have enough understanding of the magic that the enemy is good at, and can also learn the necessary protection methods. The opponent they are facing now is not someone who learned from the black magic defense class. Those red hats introduced.”
"Professor Harris, you know that those powerful magics can fascinate people. If a wizard who cannot control his behavior goes down the wrong path because he is addicted to dark magic, his life will be ruined." Dumbledore's His face became much more serious, "Professor Harris, you can't deny this possibility, and the probability of it happening is very high, and if we win the war for them, they won't need to use these methods that may affect their minds to protect themselves. In the real life of wizards, they don’t need to use these methods.”
"But what about the wizards who died because they lacked the means to protect themselves before we won the war? We can't stop eating because of choking. Principal Dumbledore, if you stop moving forward because of fear, won't you lose the opportunity to move forward forever?" Allen He persuaded seriously and pointed out mercilessly, "And doing so is very unfair to other little wizards. They obviously have the opportunity to come into contact with a more magical world, broaden their horizons, and grow their abilities." strength, but you lost this opportunity because of your various concerns. I don’t think you can make decisions for all students for their futures so simply. In addition to ordinary wizard life, I think those who are ambitious enough Wizards who are curious and curious should have their own path to promotion, Principal Dumbledore. Otherwise, what was the purpose of the founder of Hogwarts setting up the restricted book area? In my opinion, your previous approach was also contrary to the founding of Hogwarts. People’s original intentions.”
Dumbledore did not give up, he continued to try to persuade Allen to give up his ideas, "We cannot protect everyone by doing this, but we can protect the interests of the most people by doing this, and in the long run, Allen, Wouldn't it be better for the wizarding world to create a world without dark magic? And truly ambitious and talented wizards like you can obviously continue their research after graduation, and this will eliminate those who don't have enough talent and will. There is no need for wizards in this regard, so only a few people will degenerate into dark wizards, and obviously with the strong execution of the Ministry of Magic, they will no longer have the opportunity to make any big waves - and those who are concerned about this Little wizards who don’t need it don’t have to put themselves in such danger.”
Allen was obviously not persuaded by Dumbledore. He also stood up and made himself eye-level with the principal of Hogwarts: "I did not ask that everyone be forced to learn dark magic. Dumbledore, this is just an optional course. I will not give up teaching anyone because he has no "talent". As long as a young wizard is interested, can learn and insist on using the Patronus Charm, I will try my best to teach him anything he wants without reservation. Learning knowledge and extraordinary intelligence are the greatest wealth of mankind, but I think knowledge is also, and wealth needs to be circulated before it can be called wealth. I will not let this wealth only circulate in the hands of a few people. Now those who are in the history of magic How many of the magical magics in the circulating legends have been lost and how many are mastered by modern wizards? Dumbledore, this seems to be a blasphemy against knowledge and our ancestors."
"Alan, please listen to me patiently." Dumbledore felt that the other party would definitely not refuse his next proposal, so he interrupted Alan confidently, "If you can do this, I am willing to let you I myself and the Order of the Phoenix will cooperate with the Ministry of Magic to fight against the Dark Lord, instead of insisting on the prophecy that Harry will defeat the Dark Lord - Alan, I think you may have misunderstood me. In fact, I personally Divinations and prophecies were not believed in, and I even considered outlawing the discipline, and the reason why I held on to that prophecy so much was because Voldemort chose it and personally marked Harry as the prophecy's mortal enemy."
"But when you believe that Voldemort believes in this prophecy, you have fallen into it yourself. What matters is not what you think, but what you do." Allen sneered: "Sorry, Principal Dumbledore, we were there before The battle in the Department of Mysteries of the Ministry of Magic has already proven that we can defeat Voldemort without the help of you or the Order of the Phoenix, and now I don't think that you can use this condition to make me agree with you making decisions on behalf of others without authorization. One point - did you ask Moody for his opinion on the suggestion you just made? Or are you making the decision for him without permission?"
Dumbledore opened his mouth to argue, but Allen stretched out his index finger to stop him, letting him keep what he wanted to refute in his throat: "Excuse me, please wait a moment, I'll give it to you." Show something.”
After saying that, Allen snapped his fingers and asked his house elf Maggie to appear in the principal's office. After whispering to her, the other party disappeared for a few minutes and then reappeared, only with a set of hookah pipes in his hand - this Dumbledore's eyes twitched, knowing what Alan wanted to do.
"Don't worry, principal, I'm different from the "good friend" you're familiar with. I didn't add anything to help control people's hearts. I'm just showing you..." As he said that, Allen lit the hookah, and then After taking a deep breath, he slowly exhaled the smoke into the air above the desk in the principal's office.
The vision of the ancient Netherese Empire appeared in front of Allen and Dumbledore like a mirage with the smoke.
From the beginning, a village of country bumpkin wizards who regarded some simple tricks as great achievements, after a period of fanatical learning, created achievements and brilliance that would stun even modern wizards.
From the initial alliance of a few small fishing villages, the illusion has developed to those who rely on the core of Mythra invented by the great arcanist Iolum - countless suspended in the air, protected by protective shields in the deep sea or The floating city filled with various wizard towers in the lava appeared in front of the principal of Hogwarts.
And those Mythra energy cores, which are the smallest person tall and the largest almost the size of a city, look a lot like crystal balls. The spheres emit very bright light, as dazzling as looking directly at the sun, with some faint shadows wandering on the surface. An ornate pedestal secures this perfectly spherical device. Its function is very simple. It can connect to the essence of the original magic energy, directly transmit the original magic power out, and then transfer it to the entire territory.
This allows ancient wizards to easily create quasi-magical items with constant spell effects, and the energy and financial resources consumed are simply not worth mentioning compared to creating normal magic items - when a quasi-magic item is within the range of influence of the Mithron Core , you can use the magical power that was originally implanted in it. Outside the range, the quasi-magical items stop functioning and become non-magical items. The magical power it continuously transmits makes the entire mountain range float in the air. This is The foundation of those floating cities.
And because the cost of these quasi-magical items is very low, the price of traditional magic items has also been affected, because only those who have left the Mithra Energy Core will need those items, and as ordinary residents move in, a large number of services are provided to civilian life. A quasi-magical item was born, a lighting magic sphere that can be controlled by various commands and sounds; by opening up a permanent method to connect to the water elemental plane, people used a simple valve to control the flow of water. After the project was completed and put into use , laying water pipelines directly to indoors and building water storage facilities, tap water like the normal life of modern wizards and Muggles has also appeared; and some auxiliary spellcasting props even allow Muggles to cast a few small spells to help them Live in the floating city.
These various remarkable achievements formed the lost ancient magic empire.
"I know that my family's recent actions have made many people unhappy. However, my principal, some people say that we have used some dishonorable means to control the Ministry of Magic, saying that I will control the wizarding world and become the third generation of the Dark Lord. But I don't want to become the Dark Lord, no, my own purpose is not to control the Ministry of Magic but to control the wizarding world itself." Allen's eyes shone, and he took a few steps slowly and casually with his hands behind his back. He described it to the principal of Hogwarts sincerely and excitedly, "Principal Dumbledore, if you are familiar with Muggles, you should know the achievements created by the Muggles' ancient Roman Empire and the Muggle Renaissance period. Influence, magic! As long as we are like the ancients, and let us wizards not only focus on the magic spells of life as we do now, but comprehensive and more theoretical research and development, what a wonderful world we will create for all wizards! This It will be a renaissance in our wizarding world!"
Dumbledore was obviously infected by the vision he had seen before and Allen's speech, but his age and strong mind allowed him to calm down in his impatience. After a period of silence and inner entanglement, the principal of Hogwarts obviously He also strengthened his belief: "Alan, I have heard a little bit about the glory created in the ancient Netheril era. Although I only regarded them as some legendary fictional stories before, I don't know what you experienced after falling into the curtain. What, but Alan, you have to understand that whether it is the Magical Empire of Netheril or the Muggle Roman Empire, although they were very powerful for a while, they have all perished due to their own reasons. According to the rumors I have learned before , the demise of Netheril is that they do not impose any restrictions on research. I'm sorry, please forgive me as an old man who is too conservative. I still think that if wizards develop the kind of understanding of magic that you want, A disregard for the study of knowledge and knowledge will do more harm to the wizarding world than it will bring in return."
Allen stared at Dumbledore's movements, realizing that he could no longer convince the stubborn old man in front of him. He finally added as humanly as possible: "That's why I added those learning restrictions to my courses, and the purpose is to Let the wizards learn to recognize the dangers first, and try to let them lay a solid foundation before they can shine..."
"Well, Professor Harris, we each have our own opinions, but the fundamental purpose is for the development of wizards. Unfortunately, the differences between us seem to be very big at the moment, but I hope I can let you see that I am Correct. I regret that I cannot persuade you. Since none of us will compromise on this issue, for the sake of the future of more young wizards, I have no choice but to use the authority of the principal to cancel this course." Seeing that negotiation was useless, Dumbledore directly wanted to use his power.
Allen's body leaned forward slightly, and their eyes met in the air: "Dumbledore, I am also sorry that your idea cannot be realized. This course was jointly agreed by the Ministry of Magic and the school directors. You want to veto it." If so, you need to contact enough school directors to get them to agree with your decision, but I also hope that I can make you see that I am right."
Dumbledore put his hands on the table and leaned forward, "Because of your family's aggressive attitude, several school directors have contacted me under the current situation. I just want to talk to you after , let’s talk about these things again, because compared to those pure-blood families, the Harris family will be more helpful in fighting Voldemort, and we could have reached a united front.”
Dumbledore felt regret from the bottom of his heart. He actually wanted to unite all the forces that could be united to deal with Voldemort, and the purpose of the Harris family and his were actually consistent to a certain extent.
Allen leaned back and sat down again, crossed his hands on his chest, and said with a relaxed expression: "Then you should take the time to contact me, and I will wait until you successfully contact enough school directors. I will continue to teach the ancient magic course at Hogwarts as usual - according to the Ministry of Magic's plan, we have decided to add this course to the ordinary wizarding level test O.W.Ls and the ultimate wizarding level N.E.W.T in a few years. .”
Dumbledore nodded helplessly. He squinted his eyes and stared at Allen for a while. He noticed that Allen's previous words did not include Muggles. He was a little unsure that the other party did not think about it because of the confidentiality law. Not only to benefit all mankind, but also because in his heart, just like his old friend, he believed that Muggles had other uses and had no place in the world he wanted to create. Dumbledore did not ask the doubts in his heart. He didn't see any discriminatory behavior towards Lun's treatment of Muggle-born wizards. From the information he inquired about, he also learned that he had attended a Muggle school before. And now that Harris has taken control of the Ministry of Magic and is facing Voldemort and those pure-blood families, he should not blindly make more enemies. Dumbledore, who was deeply tired, decided to observe this aspect for a while as always, and then make a judgment based on the observation results. UU Reading www.uukanｓhu． net instead of asking a question that the answer will not be known now, making the original and broken relationship between the two parties even more contradictory.
Dumbledore stood up and decided to end the conversation. Although he regretted that the conversation with Allen had collapsed, he believed from the bottom of his heart that young wizards should not learn black magic. Therefore, the conflict of ideas made it impossible for him to reach a consensus with Allen, but Dumbledore planned to wait until pure When the relationship between the Blood Family and the Ministry of Magic becomes even worse, and the conflicts become more prominent and intense, they can join forces with them to ban the ancient magic course: ""It seems that our conversation had to break up on bad terms, but fortunately outside The carnival is still very lively, which will allow people to vent under Umbridge's rule and bring some positive emotions. Professor Harris, why don't we go together? "
When Dumbledore stood up and was about to leave, Allen saw a shining silver sword on the shelf behind him. The hilt was inlaid with a dazzling egg-sized ruby. Allen saw the sword approaching. There is a name engraved on the hilt of the sword - Godric Gryffindor.
Thinking of the brave red-haired wizard and the agreement he had made with him, Allen shook his head and replied to Dumbledore: "No need, principal. To me, your decision is just like Dolores's decision." When giving a Defense Against the Dark Arts lesson to students, I ask them to put down their wands, pick up their books, and start reading and copying. I'm going to go to the Black Lake to get some fresh air. You know, I'm not suitable for an overly lively atmosphere."
