Chapter 247 Are Wizards the Lagging Party?

Afterwards, Professor Abigail showed off various other weapons.

Rifles, machine guns, sniper rifles, mills bombs, landmines.

And there is no way to show it, so people can only understand it through models and videos——

Atomic bombs, intercontinental missiles, white phosphorus bombs, thermobaric bombs, and depleted uranium bombs.

Tanks, fighters, bombers, battleships, aircraft carriers.

Many young wizards who knew nothing about Muggles were shocked again and again. Malfoy couldn't help but said: "Muggles have made so many terrible weapons? Who do they want to deal with?"

The students looked at each other, and finally looked at a few Muggle-born students.

Hufflepuff's Justin Finch-Fletchley couldn't help but say: "Don't look at me, I'm just as shocked as you are."

Gryffindor's Seamus Finnigan pretended to understand and said: "That's right, Muggles often have wars, and many Muggle countries are keen to invade other countries, such as... uh..."

He glanced at the professor in front of him and swallowed what he said.

On the contrary, Professor Abigail said it herself: "Yes, for example, the United States. In the past few decades, the United States has invaded North Korea, Vietnam, Grenada, Libya, Panama, Iraq..."

She looked at the confused eyes of most students, smiled with a complex expression, and said, "Those are countries in other parts of the world. Just in Iraq, the US military also used depleted uranium weapons."

The students thought of the depleted uranium weapon shown in the video just now and had a somewhat real feeling about it.

A girl raised her hand.

Professor Abigail called the name: "Susan Bones?"

The girl with braids asked in a trembling voice under the gaze of everyone: "Professor...are there bad people in your country? Just like...like the mysterious man..."

Many children held their breath for a moment.

After a while, Professor Abigail said:

"What is a good person and what is a bad person? In fact, everyone has their own standards for this kind of thing. You can think about it according to your own ideas - whether the country is good or bad, wizards and Muggles are good or bad, one thing Good or bad, only after thinking about these things can you decide what to do.”

She seemed to say a lot, but also seemed not to say anything. Bones' head seemed to be filled with question marks.

But raising her hand to ask a question just now had exhausted her courage, and she really didn't dare to ask a second time.

Theo quietly told Wade: "I think even in the eyes of the professor, the United States is a bad person. It's just that it's her country, so it's not good to say bad things directly, right?"

Vader nodded in agreement and looked at Professor Abigail with a more serious look.

He had never met a wizard who knew more about Muggle weaponry than Professor Abigail.

Moreover, this is not the future where self-media is everywhere. Some information is very difficult to find. There is also some latest information that even non-magical people who often follow current news may not know.

But Professor Abigail just told it to a group of underage students casually, as if it was a very ordinary teaching courseware.

Then Professor Abigail saw that the students seemed to be frightened, so she told a few short stories to ease everyone's tension.

"Actually, the probability that wizards will encounter such weapons of mass destruction is very low. It takes a long time from launch to the actual burst of power. This time is enough for wizards to escape."

"As long as you are not like my friend Makna, a wizard from Africa - he stubbornly thought he could withstand the power of the bomb, and ended up almost being turned into pieces..."

"For wizards, the greatest danger is actually the arrogance that comes from ignorance."

"I also have a friend, DeWinter, who once was wandering the Muggle streets when he encountered a teenage boy who pointed a pistol at him and robbed him."

"He didn't know the pistol and thought the boy's actions were funny. He laughed on the spot. Before he could finish laughing, he was shot through the chest by a bullet... In the end, the boy took away all his gold Galleons and broke them casually. of wands.”

Because Abigail told this story with a smile, the students all laughed too and thought Devote was stupid.

After laughing, Abigail said seriously: "So... don't look down on any Muggles, children. You have magic, but that doesn't make you superior to others."

"Any Muggle...even a child...as long as he has a pistol in his hand, he has the power to take the life of any wizard."

"Remember this."

…

Defense Against the Dark Arts was over, and the weapons, which smelled like motor oil, were covered again. Professor Abigail didn't mean to say anything more, so the students had no choice but to walk towards the castle.

But the discussion about this lesson is far from over.

"Is what the professor said true, Harry?" Ron asked his friend curiously: "Are Muggle weapons really that powerful?"

"Uh... maybe..."

Harry said vaguely.

Although the Dursleys have a TV, they rarely watch programs related to weapons and war. Aunt Petunia prefers mindless soap operas, while his cousin Dudley likes animation and boxing.

Harry looked at the other two Muggle-borns.

But Hermione frowned in a rare move.

These things have nothing to do with academic performance. Although she has read many history-related books, the books she read did not provide detailed information on the weapons used by both sides of the war.

"It's true." Wade said, "and there are many things that the professor didn't talk about - such as weapons such as poison gas, bacteria, and sound waves."

"...What is that?"

After a moment of silence, Ron asked politely.

So Wade briefly explained it to everyone.

"Silent weapons of mass destruction..." Hermione summed it up.

Harry tilted his head and thought for a while: "So even a very strong wizard will hardly survive if he is within the attack range?"

"That's right." Wade nodded: "Unless you use means such as Apparition to leave before the attack... Otherwise, the Armor Charm will definitely not be able to stop it."

"Why are Muggles so keen on inventing these things?" Ryan asked: "Even pistols and artillery shells are already very powerful... Why are they still inventing more dangerous weapons?"

"Because if you lag behind, you will be beaten, right?" Wade said: "If those invaded countries also have nuclear weapons, the United States will not dare to bomb their territory at will."

"Then..."

Rian thought for a while, and finally raised a soul-searching question:

"Compared with Muggles now...are wizards the backward party?"

Everyone paused at the same time, like unprepared students being forced to face an exam they don't want to face.

The next chapter will be later
