"Dark magic? ”

Grindelwald snorted lightly, slapped the graphite dust in his palm on the bedside table, pulled a stool and sat down next to the two, nodded with his arms crossed, and said rather sarcastically.

"Yes, anything that seems a little more dangerous, or that can't be restored for a short time, or that can't be unsolved, is labeled as black magic, and then locked in the dust of history—it's a quick and easy way to deal with it. I finally know why the power of the wizarding world has become more and more mediocre over the years. ”

As the original Dark Lord, Grindelwald was no stranger to this kind of response.

After all, the Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry he once attended was known for its research on dark arts, and the reason why he was expelled from the school was because he had gone too far on this path and made too much noise that the school had to react - in fact, he had learned a little bit about it in the past few days, and most of the spells he had studied were included in the category of dark arts.

"Albus, why did you cast the spell so easily? It's not that I despise you, but the 'forbidden black magic' that can make this little guy so embarrassed doesn't seem to be as simple as you show. ”

Grindelwald paused, touched his chin thoughtfully with his right hand, and asked with implicit concern about the real reason for Elena's fainting—the magic in this half-breed little girl was at least no weaker than that of a normal sixteen or seventeen-year-old wizard.

"Knowledge, experience and magic. ”

Dumbledore smiled slightly, put his fingers on his knees, and replied calmly:

"Maybe you should take a look at the literature on ancient alchemy in my room. Discover, understand, separate...... This was the basic way wizards studied alchemical magic and transfiguration magic long ago. Hence the name of this spell Dissociation. ”

As he spoke, Dumbledore's fingers twisted in the dust, drawing an inward-converging circle,

It's like a wonderful loop—the deeper you look into things, the clearer you will understand the essence of things, and the clearer you understand the essence of things, the easier the process of finding out and getting the results will be. ”

"The power of knowledge, but it's not scientific or magical at all...... Well, that's quite philosophical. ”

Elena couldn't help but mutter, pouting rather emotionally.

Magic, or the occult, has always been complementary to science, which is undeniable even in modern science. In fact, the term "science" really came into existence around the eighteenth century, when the magical and non-magical worlds were officially separated.

Prior to this, people had a unified name for the study of the laws of nature and the universe - "natural philosophy", and now the so-called PhD actually comes from the Latin word for doctor of natural philosophy.

For example, Newton's masterpiece is called "The Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy", not "The Mathematical Principles of Science".

For Elena, natural philosophy is like a mixture of science and magic, trying to find a balance between the two dimensions to explain the world, and Dumbledore's display of science and magic undoubtedly supports her long-standing conjectures.

Needless to say, human exploration of the world does not change with or without magic.

"You just behaved very recklessly and dangerously, you know?"

Dumbledore's blue eyes looked at Elena quietly through his half-moon glasses, and he said in a deep voice.

"The reason why the Ministry of Magic has set the Dissociation Charm as dark magic is not just because of the destructive power it can produce, but more because of the unguided private practice, which is too dangerous for wizards. Before you can try this magic, you have to do a lot of learning and memorization in books and textbooks. ”

"Well, I already know. ”

Elena's little hair on her head shook listlessly, and it was a terrible feeling to have to listen obediently.

For Elena, Albus Dumbledore's words were not difficult to understand.

It is true that magic is a fairly convenient existence, and most of the time it only needs to be clear about the result, and it can find a way to achieve the ultimate goal through some wonderful mechanism through the intermediate process - but, just like the long jump and wormhole crossing, the blank length of the intermediate process determines the difficulty of a magic to a certain extent.

"It is neither your duty nor the need to explore the origin of deformed matter. No single wizard can complete the entire cornerstone of alchemy, not even Nick Lemay and Paracelsus...... Well, I'm not talking about you...... Even they can't do that. ”

Dumbledore glanced at the old wizard sitting on the stool next to him with a little disgust, paused, and continued to look at Elena and smiled.

"I think you should understand what you lack and what you need to learn. If you're really interested, I'd be happy to give you a little help......"

Throughout the long history, countless outstanding wizards who studied alchemy have accumulated a considerable number of records.

Hitting a firewood with a dissociation spell will produce a large amount of graphite, a small amount of diamonds, and may cause flames and explosions - this is the knowledge documented in Elementary Alchemy.

Undoubtedly, in Dumbledore's opinion, the reason for Elena's fainting was simple: she recklessly analyzed the origin of matches, and although she was lucky enough to get the results of magic feedback, she was temporarily out of strength due to excessive consumption.

"Well, yes. ”

Elena nodded earnestly, and sat up straight with Dumbledore's admiring smile.

For a long time, Elena had always been proud of her prophetic identity as a time-traveler, and it was only at this moment that she realized that she was still too immature if you looked at the entire long history.

You must know that the level of science and technology in the previous life just touched the edge of light nuclear fusion.

The so-called refusion is nothing more than a scientific hypothesis and goal derived from observing the activity of the stars, and it is a bit too greedy to count on the shortcut of magic to complete the fusion trajectory of a total of 26 steps from hydrogen to iron in one go.

"On my own, I am simply too willful and arrogant. We need a team, or more than one team, to parse and study all of this, to do the most basic theoretical groundwork – oh my gosh, why didn't I think of that before. ”

Elena hammered her palm hard and licked her lips excitedly, her eyes shining brightly.

With the sudden fall of the woolly bear, the most valuable wealth left behind in the world is not just the cold value plundering of those monetary figures.

People, especially the top geniuses, are the most valuable treasures that the woolly bear has left in this world.

That foggy dream just now gave her the most important hint - now, a group of the world's top nuclear physicists, mathematicians, and chemists are about to lose their jobs.

But, fortunately, only she and Dumbledore saw this in advance at the moment.

"Professor Dumbledore, thank you for your help and tips, I see!"

Elena said with her hands full of energy.

"There are still three months to go, enough to prepare all the human and financial resources, as well as the advance layout to snatch the top scientific researchers—there is no doubt that we can be more generous than any non-magical country in terms of economic and material conditions, not to mention, there should be very few people who can refuse an olive branch from the magical world, right?"

"Very well, I'll prepare some ...... about alchemy later"

Dumbledore smiled, and was about to continue with his previous logic, when he suddenly froze, and looked blankly at the white-haired ball in front of him, who had suddenly fallen into a state of excitement - the last time he remembered this was after she mortgaged Hogwarts.

The old man looked excited, and began to explain the new plan, Elena's lips pursed.

“......？？？”

"I see, Gringotts is just one part of it, and the purpose is to make the wizarding world back down a little. Not the scientists of the wizarding world...... Is this your attempt to merge the two worlds, Albus, unexpected, but in line with your personality. If I had the courage you had at the time, maybe we would have succeeded. ”

A look of sudden realization flashed on Grindelwald's face, patted his thigh, and said with a look of admiration.

After so many years, the social situation in the non-magical world and the magical world has changed dramatically compared to a few decades ago, both in terms of destructive power and social structure, which have risen several steps.

Before that, Grindelwald had been worried that one day the wizarding world would die out completely, and that the wizards lurking in the shadows would one day be like rats in the gutter, for some reason, suddenly exposed to the non-magical world, and then go through a war with little chance of winning - magic will not die, but the wizarding world may disappear.

"Don't worry, my old friends will be fully involved in this project. After all these years, it's time for everyone to get moving...... While we're all still able to wave our wands and exert our residual heat. ”

Grindelwald grinned, every fold on his face showing a look of pleasure, and his tone was full of eagerness.

Dumbledore blinked, the expression on his face stiffened slightly, and subconsciously turned his head to look at Grindelwald.

“？？？”

These two people, in the end......

"It makes sense, and if necessary, it does require a certain amount of force as support. ”

Elena nodded seriously and touched her shriveled little belly, "Let's go to the kitchen and get something to eat, I'll get it, and then talk while eating?"

"Albus, don't be in a daze, there's nothing to be embarrassed about. This little guy is a very good cook. ”

Grindelwald patted Dumbledore's shoulder vigorously, interrupted the old man's unorganized language, and grinned, "Let's go, I don't know how to get around the Hogwarts kitchen." ”
