Chapter 5: Wizard Supremacy
Diagon Alley is a mysterious place, for the average person, but in the wizarding world, it is widely known.
It is one of the largest brick-and-mortar shopping streets in the wizarding world, handling large amounts of gold galleons every day and selling a huge amount of goods.
With a child, Lin Zhengyang easily crossed a distance of hundreds of miles.
Using the method of shrinking the ground to hurry, thousands of feet is only a few steps away.
Walking to Diagon Alley is as relaxing as walking to the back garden.
It's not that people's legs have become longer, it's that space itself has been distorted, which is an application to the space realm and a space spell.
East and West, the ideas are different, but the spells are the same.
"We need to buy wands first."
Appearing on the side of the road with Zhang Ming, surrounded by a typical late 20th century London scene, full of cars and people, no one noticed the two figures that were suddenly "squeezed out" on the side of the street.
Lin Zhengyang followed the position of the broken axe bar in "memory", grabbed the apprentice's hand, and strode forward.
One large and one small, all wearing well-tailored suits and wide sunhats, blocking the faces of Orientals...... After all, English Muggles also had skin color discrimination in those days, although English wizards still respected the mystics of the East.
They clearly live in the same sky, no, under the dark clouds of industry, wizards and Muggles seem to be really old and dead, and suddenly they are really people from two worlds.
"Wand, what's that?"
Zhang Ming is a typical child in the mountains, and at the moment when the situation is unstable, he is too well protected by Lin Zhengyang, and he has never been out of the provincial capital until he was thirteen years old.
In his concept, the cultivation of mantras is long-term visualization, usually meditating and reciting mantras, pinching and reciting mantras when performing spells, and cooperating with the daily visualization kung fu to urge the cultivation of a stream of true qi to achieve various effects......
Visualization and meditation on weekdays are all for the purpose of purifying the mind and maintaining the success rate of spell casting.
Practicing internal strength is the foundation of immortality, the platform of ascending immortals, and it is also the greatest reliance on spellcasting.
As for spell tricks, they only increase the power of spells, and they don't have them.
In addition, there are some more complex rituals, such as the time and the year, the month, the zodiac, etc., as well as the special sacrificial dance (Yu Bu), which performs powerful spells.
It can be said that Oriental-style spells, regardless of the power or success rate of the spell, the kung fu is all in ordinary times.
As for the flow of magic weapons, the peachwood sword, the compass, the gossip mirror, and the seal letter......
It doesn't have to be.
As long as the internal refining kung fu is profound, no matter what spell is at your fingertips, such as his master Lin Zhengyang.
That's why Zhang Ming asked.
"The wizards here are different from us, well, they need magic items, that is, magic weapons, to sort out their magic that is difficult to subdue. They are called magic here, and we are more detailed here, called spirit. ”
"Without that kind of magic weapon called a wand, their irascible magic is difficult to master on their own, and it takes more time, which is a test of talent."
"By the way, they also distinguish between those who are capable of using spells and those who are not, the former is called wizards, and the latter is called Muggles or Squibs."
"The criterion for their identification is a magical riot, ha, who knows how much spirit and spirit will be lost in vain in a riot, and maybe it will also lose Shouyuan!"
Lin Zhengyang was quite unimpressed with the wizards here in the UK.
There are less than 20,000 wizards in the whole of Britain.
Zhang Ming was also shocked, this irresponsible approach was unimaginable to him.
"Dao Venerable is above, forcibly stimulating the essence and spirit, isn't it consuming its own vitality? Don't they know how to maintain it? Why don't they have internal strength? ”
Lin Zhengyang smiled and touched his head.
This is the difference between cultural beliefs, they do not have an oriental philosophy, they do not have a speculative theory of the unity of the contradiction of yin and yang, and they do not have the theory of cultivating immortals...... Without such soil, it is inevitable that the fruits of becoming immortals will not be able to blossom. ”
Zhang Ming didn't seem to understand what he said, but he still nodded lightly, and firmly remembered what the master had said, and kept it in his heart.
"You'll learn later."
Although he has only known each other for two days, Lin Zhengyang feels that he has really taken care of this child for six years.
It's really rare to see such a well-behaved and sensible child.
London, Westminster District, Charlie's Cross.
The two small and broken doors, swaggering here, are one of the entrances to the wizarding world.
People who come and go turn a blind eye to this.
As if you won't notice it at all.
Although in his memory, and before his arrival, he had watched from the side of the main god space many times, Lin Zhengyang still couldn't understand this kind of approach comparable to brain damage.
One of the entrances to the wizarding world is actually placed at the crossroads where people come and go.
There are confusion charms and Muggle banishment charms attached to it, as well as some more off-the-beaten-path spells that Muggles who see here will subconsciously ignore it, and only those who have awakened their magic can see it.
It doesn't seem like a big deal, but it's protected by magic!
The problem, however, is that in a few decades, surveillance cameras will be everywhere, and the intersection here will be simply essential.
There will also be satellites in the sky to take pictures at any time.
However, the defenses of the Broken Axe Bar have not kept up with the times, and they are still the same as they were hundreds of years ago.
It's a pity that you can't hide the human eye from the electronic eye......
In just thirty years after the end of the plot, all the entrances and exits of the wizarding world have been included in the archives by the British MI7, and the existence of the wizarding world has been broken in an "accident...... After that, in short, the ending is not very good.
Entering the Broken Axe Bar, it feels dirty, messy, poor, and ...... A bunch of people in fancy clothes, or maybe they're terminally mentally ill?
Lin Zhengyang saw that in the corner, an old witch with a wrinkled face was carrying an unknown animal liver and swallowing it with a little mucus on it......
Ignoring the dirt-filled seats here, and noticing the malicious gaze around them, there were even crazy thoughts mixed with malice and murderous intent......
Sure enough, this era was the age when the Death Eaters were formed, and there were scum everywhere who didn't know how to advance or retreat!
Lin Zhengyang sneered twice, protected the frightened little apprentice behind him, and slightly put the majestic power that he did not belong to the world...... A corner is shown.
What a great being it was, infinitely bright, brilliant, a divine light that burned the eyes and could not be looked at......
Squeak, squeak, bumper, the old tables and chairs were overwhelmed and fell to the ground.
With Lin Zhengyang as the center, it circled around, and the more malicious it was, the greater the damage it would suffer.
There was a nosebleed, a coma, and an old smoker with a snuff bottle leaning to the side, who had black blood flowing from his nose and mouth and eyes on the spot, but the malice was too heavy when he recited the spell, and he was counterattacked and died on the spot.
Just as he was about to leave, he heard a voice coming from the front.
"Wait a minute, please wait a minute."
A well-mannered young man, surrounded by a group of peers, came to him.
Immaturity, ambition, inferiority complex disguised under aristocratic grandeur......
Lin Zhengyang judged so.
He stopped, intending to see what he was trying to do.
"May I ask you, this powerful wizard, what is your view of wizarding supremacy?"
This man was Tom Riddle of his youth, the president of the student council.
He looks very handsome, has a very leader temperament, and is also very eloquent.
"Looks like he's noticed my strength, is this trying to recruit me?"
Lin Zhengyang thought back to his predecessors' exploration of the Harry Potter world and came to this quite reliable conclusion.
In this era, the Death Eaters were taking shape.
Relying on his charisma, eloquence, common interests, and the growing contradictions between the wizarding world and Muggle society, Tom proposed "wizarding supremacy", and advocated the supremacy of wizards over Muggles, calling on people to go out of wizarding and rule Muggles.
At least at this time, their membership consisted mainly of reformers, mostly young wizards, who recognized the growing threat of Muggle society and the conservative backwardness of the wizarding world, and sought to idealize society.
Their ideas are marketable and are welcomed by many young and vigorous wizards.
The Death Eaters, who were not originally called Death Eaters, actually represented the Reformers, nor were they a group of dark wizards, otherwise they would have been banned in the embryonic stage.
Wizard supremacy at first, transition to pure-blood supremacy, and finally Death Eaters......
Dumbledore was a conservative and the eventual winner, and the two sides were not so much a battle between dark wizards and white wizards as a struggle between reformers and conservatives.
In the process, Tom Riddle's message has changed over time!
When Tom saw the wizard lying on the ground, he knew that the one in front of him was indeed a rare and powerful wizard, and if he could win him over to his side, it would be enough to make up for the gap in force between them and the conservatives.
As a result, he worked harder to use the skill of conversation, analyze the situation, advocate the supremacy of wizards, rule over Muggles, and propose the innate superiority of wizards.
Lin Zhengyang listened, those moving words, beautiful prospects, but his face was not moved.
These, once upon a time, countless Toms, had repeated again and again to his predecessor of the Advent......
Patiently waiting for Tom's gushing words to come to an end, Lin Zhengyang lightly threw out a sentence:
"With all due respect, the definition of Muggle in the British wizarding world is quite one-sided."
He spoke eloquently, unconcerned that the faces of most of the people present began to change.
"The definition of Muggle and wizard cannot be distinguished simply because of the so-called magic rampage, which is a crude way."
"A lot of people, who have the potential to cast spells, just can't release them all the time, and they hide it, maybe it will last until the last moment of their life. But you can't arbitrarily assume that this self-existent force doesn't exist just because it's not being induced by some external inducement. ”
"Perhaps, we can induce this power in some way to awaken their potential to cast spells."
"For example, potions, certain magical rituals, special magical items, or some artificial environment......"
"Enough!"
Tom had to interrupt him.
He was furious.
At this time, he had few setbacks in his path, and he was not yet mature and mature, and he clearly expressed his anger.
I almost couldn't help but pull out my wand, but I couldn't help but see the wizard lying on the ground next to me.
After weighing the gap between them, and feeling that they had to pay a lot of price for their side to conflict, Tom finally suppressed his anger, and Tom raised a hand behind him, shook it, and signaled not to conflict.
"So you're a foreign wizard......"
He gasped.
It's actually a good step.
Foreigners don't understand the rules, we can forgive them.
When a foreigner has an accident, it is called a diplomatic incident.
In short, foreigners are more tricky.
When he noticed this, the anger in his heart dropped a little.
"Maybe you're right, but, after so many years in the wizarding world, no one has done anything, maybe you can do it......"
Staring at Lin Zhengyang and the two, he looked at it for a few seconds, and then walked away from the side, taking his followers with him.
"I will......"
Only Tom heard it.
After appeasing the little apprentice, Lin Zhengyang entered Diagon Alley through the back of the Broken Axe Bar.
