Chapter 255 The Scenery of the Owl Shed
Wade actually didn't have anything important to do secretly, but now that the work was done, he wanted to be alone and quiet.
He spent so much time leading the launch of this magical version of television, and he knew better than anyone how broad the prospects of the flow mirror were.
You know, even Muggle TV stations don't have high-definition TV broadcasts yet!
The flow mirror not only has clear pictures and three-dimensional sound, but can also be enlarged or reduced to put in a pocket and take away - of course, the size change can only be done by wizards who have mastered the relevant spells.
Marchionne saw business opportunities in the flow mirror, the Weasley brothers saw alchemy skills, the audience saw unprecedented fun, and the contestants could probably see their short-term social death in the future.
But Wade knew that from now on, the public opinion position of the magic world would be divided by half... or even more than half by the flow mirror.
Don't look at the fact that the "Daily Prophet" often criticizes the Ministry of Magic and ridicules government officials.
But once they get serious, they are completely the mouthpiece of the Ministry of Magic, and they charge forward for Fudge without any shame.
They can describe the respected old headmaster as an old lunatic with ulterior motives; they can describe the underage savior as a vain and boastful little liar; they can also fabricate facts and weave lies to whitewash the dark forces.
But when the flow mirror becomes popular on a large scale, the status of the Daily Prophet will definitely be greatly challenged, and it is not certain whether anyone will read the newspaper anymore.
By then, public opinion will have a new helmsman.
And the people are always ignorant and can be easily deceived and guided.
Wade didn't know whether Dumbledore saw such a future, but he said nothing.
…
Wade avoided the crowd and came to the owl shed.
The environment here is not very good, but it just happens to see most of the maze, with a wide view and quiet.
Most of the owls are standing on the shelves, opening one eye and closing the other.
Some are lying flat, with both eyes closed, a pair of long and thick furry legs stretched straight, sleeping like dead.
Some owls were startled by the footsteps, opened their eyes and looked at him in confusion, followed Wade's figure for a while, and when they saw that he did not "offer" food, they ignored him.
Wade suddenly saw that the back of an owl's head was a little bald, and he walked over and touched it with a smile.
The owl tilted its head and looked at him in confusion, making a "cooing" sound in its throat, but did not avoid it, nor did it tilt its head to peck his hand.
It looked very well behaved.
It did not look fierce at all, like someone who would shake people and fight at night.
Wade teased for a while before coming to the platform on the roof of the shed, and unexpectedly found that there was already a person sitting here.
"——Professor?"
Wade said in surprise.
The person sitting here was Professor Murray, who rarely came to school.
"Oh - Wade."
Professor Murray smiled and said:
"It seems that you have also discovered this secret place - the scenery is very nice, isn't it?"
"Of course."
Wade was confused, and after thinking about it, he asked directly:
"Professor, aren't you going to attend the banquet of the European Alchemist Federation?"
This was a schedule that was set more than half a year in advance. Professor Murray should have left for Luxembourg yesterday afternoon.
For this reason, they also postponed an alchemy class.
Professor Murray spread his hands helplessly and said:
"As soon as the banquet started, the organizers and the guests started fighting, and there was also a shameful guy who lost all his pants... I know today is the first day your Liujing will be publicly unveiled, so I thought about it and rushed back with the portkey."
"Then why didn't you go downstairs? After all, there is still some smell here."
Professor Murray's face changed slightly, and he said quickly:
"Don't tell Dumbledore that I'm back, otherwise I will definitely be sent to work by him! Look at your poor dean, how busy he is!"
In the distant maze, Professor Flitwick was flying on a broom near the wall. He probably hadn't ridden a flying broom for a long time, and his movements were a little awkward.
When Professor McGonagall was maintaining order outside the maze, Professor Flitwick was inside, throwing out students who fell into traps, students who were chased by magical creatures and students who had been taken back to their nests as trophies with magic.
The professor, who was about the same size as a child, was very busy, but he didn't dare to relax for a moment.
Of course, Professor Sprout, Professor Snape, Madam Hooch, Madam Pomfrey and others were also busy working, not to mention Filch and Hagrid.
Perhaps only Professor Trelawney of Divination could sit in a chair peacefully, watching the challenge program leisurely, laughing so hard that tears were about to fall.
But this was not because Dumbledore particularly doted on her, but because even Dumbledore, who trusted her, did not dare to let this professor take charge of anything difficult or important.
Wade turned the wand in his hand, and a small whirlwind rolled up out of thin air, cleaning the balcony outside the shed.
Professor Murray also raised his legs to make it easier for the dust to roll over the floor with the wind.
Then, Wade sat next to him and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, professor... I seem to have caused you a lot of trouble."
Professor Murray smiled and said: "How can this be considered trouble?"
"Seeing the children in the school blooming with vitality that has not been seen in a thousand years, and happily learning to use magic while playing, this scenery is better than anything else."
"I guess McGonagall and the others all think the same, so no one has ever blamed you for this, right?"
"——It seems so."
Wade was silent for a while, then smiled and said, "It is also our luck to meet good teachers like you and Professor McGonagall. I will never forget the help the professors have given me."
He sighed and recalled, "In my first year, I used the wrong spell and got myself injured. If you hadn't picked me up, I would have almost died."
Professor Murray recalled for a moment and said puzzledly:
"Didn't you have a fever that time? And you were injured? What spell did you use wrong?"
Wade blinked and looked at the white-haired professor.
After a moment, he suddenly realized, "Ah... I seem to have mixed it up."
"How can you remember this wrong?" Professor Murray shook his head helplessly and said, "You have never made any mistakes in the pronunciation and symbols of ancient magic words."
"Because my brain is occupied by more important things, it is easy to forget other things."
Wade explained, took out the panoramic telescope he had prepared from his pocket, and copied one and handed it to Professor Murray.
"Use this to see! The picture can be zoomed in and out, and it can be replayed and paused. It is very clear!"
"Thank you."
Professor Murray smiled and took the telescope without thinking too much.
Wade watched this scene, and he raised his telescope until he used the telescope to see the situation in the maze.
In the picture, Harry, Michael and others also walked into the maze.
