Chapter 295: Muggles and the Wizarding World's Strength and Weakness
Ivan's footsteps don't stop, and the distance between the two sides is getting closer and closer...
At this moment, the two people on the opposite side suddenly stopped, and Ivan stared at Hermione to stop his past self, and then removed the time turner hanging from his neck.
Witnessing what happened two hours ago from the perspective of an onlooker, this sense of interweaving time and space made Ivan feel the magic of time.
The two walked smoothly and were not found...
Was it because I was distracted at that time, so I didn't notice it?
Ivan thought to himself, so it seems that everything he is doing now is still in the closed loop of time.
What if I showed up now? It's not going to be the same as it used to be, is it?
A thought crossed Ivan's mind, and he shook his head.
Forget it, don't do these dangerous temptations...
......
The rest of the journey went smoothly, and without incident, the two of them made their way to the Muggle studies classroom together.
It was still a while before the class was held, and Ivan was surprised that so many people were so interested in studying Muggles.
Ivan glanced curiously, judging from the costumes, the young wizards who chose to take this class were mostly Hufflepuff students, and Slytherin students were the least.
It seems that with the exception of a few pure-blood wizards who are curious about Muggles, most of the people taking this course are Muggle-born, or half-blood...
But this is also normal, the discrimination against ordinary people in the entire wizarding world is still obvious,
Pure-blood wizards, in particular, usually have a habit of using contemptuous words when talking about Muggles, to show off the nobility of their bloodline!
It wasn't long before the door to the classroom was opened from the outside, and Professor Keridi Bubaji, dressed in a light-colored wizard's robe, walked in, glancing around at everyone and speaking in a gentle tone.
"Welcome to my Muggle Studies class!"
"I won't teach you all kinds of magical magic here, but I can expand your horizons and let you understand the vastness of the outside world, instead of limiting your horizons to a small magical world..."
At this point, Professor Keridi Bubbaji's words suddenly became very serious, and she continued to speak.
"Also, I've always thought that wizards and Muggles are equal... They are no different from us. ”
"Professor!" Just as Professor Keredy Bubbaji had finished speaking, a little Slytherin witch suddenly raised her hand and spoke aloud. "But I've heard that Muggles are very stupid, they can't learn even the simplest magic!"
"It's just that they don't have a talent for magic, that doesn't mean they're stupid, on the contrary, Muggles can't do magic with their ingenuity, but they can't do a lot of magic with their ingenuity." Professor Khairedi Bubaji emphasized.
"That's why we need this course!"
"There has been little qualitative change in our wizarding world in hundreds of years, but it's different on the outside, and it's not an exaggeration to say that it's turned upside down... If we continue to live in our old ways, we will one day be completely surpassed by the Muggles! ”
Professor Keriddy Bubbaji spoke eloquently about the great achievements of Muggles in recent years, as well as the changes in their travel and lifestyle.
Many of the young wizards in the audience showed disapproving expressions, and Kairedi Bubaji didn't expect them to understand immediately, so he asked everyone to open their textbooks and start the first lesson.
Ivan looked through the textbook in his hand, and then thought of Professor Bubaki's remarks, it seems that the wizarding world is not without any research on the development of Muggle technology.
The Knight's bus, Hagrid's motorcycle, and the Weasleys' magical cars are all the product of a combination of Muggle technology and magic.
However, this understanding and research is likely limited to modifying some technological objects for its own convenience, and does not touch on the fundamentals, which can be seen from the education system that has not changed in the past hundred years at Hogwarts.
Hogwarts, one of the three major schools of magic and wizardry in Europe, has only offered one Muggle studies course for so many years.
Or elective!
It is not mandatory for all young wizards to learn, which shows that the wizarding world does not pay enough attention to the Muggle world...
Ivan knew very well that with the further development of science and technology in the outside world, the balance of power between the wizarding world and the Muggle world was tilting in favor of the latter.
Once the information age is fully entered, the existence of the magical world cannot be concealed forever.
Wizards have an advantage over Muggles in that they can use all kinds of magical supernatural magic!
In particular, the Imperius Charm, Polyjuice Potion, Replication Charm, Apparition Shifter, Elixir of Life, etc., can wreak havoc on the Muggle world if used properly...
For example, the copied massive amount of Muggle-indistinguishable gold, as well as other important materials to disrupt and impact the Muggle financial market.
Another example is that the temptation of immortality is enough to make a large number of greedy Muggles turn against them, the disguise of the Polyjuice Potion and the illusion are enough to enter and leave any place at will, and with the Imperius Curse, it is completely possible to control Muggles who hold important positions...
It is true that the destructive power of wizards is far inferior to the technological weapons that Muggles can mass-produce, but no matter how powerful the technology is, it is only ordinary people who give orders, and fools will fight and kill head-on, and it is the right thing to use their own advantages to use the power of the other party.
What's more, wizards can learn to master Muggles, and Muggles want to rely on the power of technology to crack magic but don't know how long...
Of course, the disadvantages of wizards are also extremely obvious, they are few in number, fighting each other, and conservative in their minds.
The latter is the most critical, and many wizards even stuck in the last century, they don't want to know if there is something new in the Muggle world, so they live in their own small circle to fight for power, which makes the wizarding world further lose the initiative.
In addition, half-blood wizards and wizards from Muggle families make up the majority, which makes it possible for someone to do something and cause a war between wizards and Muggles, and wizards will fight first without even needing Muggles to provoke.
That's how the last changemaker was finished...
"This wizarding world is coming to an end..."Ivan sighed, he suddenly found that the wizarding world could only watch the rapid development of the Muggles, but he stood still, and couldn't help but sigh.
Is that what that means?
Ivan's mind moved, opened the taskbar of the system, and looked at the task activated last school year - to become a house elf army, and the remarks below it were impressively written.
[A new era is coming, and it's time for the wizarding world to change!] - Ivan Hals. 】
The words in the notes had confused him before, but now Ivan understood a little.
