Dumbledore questioned why Kane was able to speak deeply.

Kane was reluctant to tell the truth, saying, "Some secrets are secrets because they are hidden deep in the world for everyone. ”

Dumbledore smiled magnanimously, "I've been taught, an old man. ”

"If you care about time, then I can tell you that I've lived about three times as long as you, and the stage is a multiverse that may or may not be far away. ”

Dumbledore was a little confused, and in his mind, it seemed that the secret that Kane was revealing now was important, right?

Kane naturally won't explain, not to say some of the truth is for your good, after all, not everyone has experienced the tempering of the multiverse like reincarnation, and if you know that you are just a low-dimensional creation, I am afraid that you will question the meaning of your existence and collapse.

Dumbledore wanted to find out. He invited Kane to sail out of the rapidly melting ice island.

Once on board, Dumbledore waved his sleeves and the boat broke through on its own, saying, "It's good to hear you admit to your face that you're not some ancient witch. ”

"I don't think you care much about where I come from. ”

"But honesty is a quality that deserves to be recognized. ”

Kane gets straight to the point: "I think you're mainly concerned about whether I love the world and the people who love it. ”

"Well, that's a good question, is the answer yes?"

"Yes, yes. I love it, it's very similar to my hometown. I also have the desire to make this place my second home. ”

"I see, you want to make this your home. But have you ever thought that this world is not only yours? ”

"I thought about it, seeking common ground while reserving differences. I still have this mind. ”

"So how do you see the negative impact of change?"

"Labor pains are bound to occur, whether it is the wizard world or the mortal world, the situation is far from good. I'm not Tom Riddle, and I'd rather use profit as a tool than violence. The changes that the Demon Eye Chamber of Commerce has brought to this world are even if I submit an answer sheet. If you think something is wrong, welcome to the axe. ”

"I'm worried about the corrosive effect of money on the soul. ”

"That's not a reason to choke on food. There is nothing wrong with knowing and pursuing a good, high-quality life. ”

Kane added, "I have the ability, I see far ahead, I foresee the scramble for magical resources that will shrink, and the hidden dangers that mortals will bring to themselves and the transcendent as their technological power grows stronger. Just looking at the macro data on population growth, it is not difficult to imagine how fierce the competition for resources will be in the future. ”

Dumbledore was silent, he was born in 1881, he was a witness to the great development of human science and technology and the changes of modern civilization, and he knew that what Kane said was not alarmist.

In fact, a person like him who is in charge of the wizarding world, when he gets together with people of the same level, he will also talk about the future of the population and other high-level issues.

The general belief among long-lived wizards about Muggles was that Muggles would regain the glory of magic within two hundred years, due to the high level of knowledge that the human soul could not bear.

Dumbledore thought for a moment and said this.

Kane smiled, "Muggle scholars have such concerns, Addo Noe and Max Horkheim, although they are not of the same era, but they worked together to construct the book "The Dialectics of Enlightenment", in which they put forward this statement: "

"It is said that human beings have always been on the road of pursuing wisdom and rationality. It was a broad Enlightenment (not limited to Europe) in which humanity presupposes a good outcome for the act of 'seeking knowledge'. However, the truth is that nothing that becomes an extreme is not good, and the result of the blind pursuit of knowledge is devastating. ”

The book argues that reason contains its own paradox in the legend of Odysseus in ancient Greece. In this century, the characteristics are even more obvious, rational, as if it has become a product of quasi-religion. ”

"In the modern Muggle community, there is actually a concept of anti-rationalism. From a certain point of view, this is actually a kind of self-consistent instinct of the human group, once it goes too far in some aspects, there will be opposition arguments, freedom and control, group and individual, self-interest and altruism, human beings are stumbling forward in a series of contradictory philosophical concepts, the past, the present, and the future, can not jump out of this mode. ”

"You also seem to be very researched in this area. ”

Kane smiled, he did see a lot of the screaming Big Technocrats, the Big Industrialists, the cognitivists who raised their curiosity to the level of faith, but the main reason for studying this knowledge was to deal with the enemies of the Cthulhu family.

The characteristics of Cthulhu's system are in line with anti-rationalism, and none of those who try to understand and learn the knowledge of God in order to gain supernatural power will end well.

His idea is very correct, and it is impossible to shake it, and the research is only to prepare for the strategy.

"I can't talk about research, it's just that I have summarized the path I have taken, and I have been doing one thing all my life, which is to keep moving forward, to move forward and to prepare, and it seems that this is only for two things, one is to deal with all kinds of unexpected or unexpected emergencies like this time, and the other is to crush and push. ”

"Therefore, this is actually a passive type, which rarely starts the war lightly, and tries not to touch the interests of others. And even if there is a war, it rarely makes it protracted. ”

Dumbledore thought about Kane's series of emergency performances this time, and nodded, "Well, I believe what you say." ”

As he spoke, he handed the Sands of Time to Kane, "You are better suited than me to be the custodian of the Sands of Time. ”

Kane was not polite, and after taking it, he put it in the chalice in front of Dumbledore, and then shrunk it back into a pendant and hung it around his neck.

Dumbledore said, "I know the whereabouts of the other part of the Sands of Time. ”

Kane raised an eyebrow and said, "You're very attached to the 1853 journey. ”

"Indeed, I suspect it has something to do with Apocalypse. ”

Kane frowned, this word, in Chinese meaning is apocalypse, and as a noun, it means world destruction, cataclysm, end times.

He knew that Dumbledore had dug a hole, but because it was a matter of instant decision, he didn't think that the hole would be too deep, and it should be within the scope of Dumbledore's combat power.

Now I know that Dumbledore really has no shortage of death spirit, which is obviously to dig up the truth of the key turning point in history (transcendental), which is not trivial.

"If it's an incident of this level, I have to use some dark means to achieve my own goals. ”

Dumbledore had anticipated this moment in advance, but he hadn't expected it to be in such a showdown manner. He decided to continue to probe Kane to see what he knew about it.

"Can you elaborate on that?" he asked.

"I recognize the equality of human beings and respect the objective fact that there are hierarchies in reality. I agree with the saying that population is a resource, and I can sacrifice some people's lives with peace of mind. I admit that this is despicable and shameless from an ethical point of view, but I am not ashamed or regretful about it. ”

"You mean, you don't mind killing people to keep yourself safe?"

"Not only that, let's put it this way, but taking such a risk is against my principles. Of course, I also know that it is normal to be caught off guard by my subordinates to deal with emergencies. So I have emergency means. Taking this exploration as an example, when I arrived in 1853, the first thing I did was to screen the prisoners, sacrifice a number of the guilty, and strengthen my own safety through magic reform. ”

Dumbledore said, "This is probably the reason why many habitual offenders in Great Britain have gone overseas to work after being released from prison in the past two years, and have disappeared as a result. ”

"Well, I'll admit it, but it won't be long before the Magic Eye Chamber of Commerce will launch a very universal drug, and cancer will be conquered. ”

Dumbledore was moved, he knew what effect the advent of this medicine would have in the Muggle world.

In fact, Kane originally planned to launch this drug after entering the 21st century, but the invasion of the future made him decide to speed up, and the meaning of cancer nemesis is equivalent to black hemp in the wizarding world, which is a stepping stone to lay the foundation, and once it is turned on, it is not something that ordinary forces can bring down.

Dumbledore was aware of Kane's concerns. "You are worried about the wave of subversion, armed conflict, and subsequent vicious changes caused by the leakage of information. As a result, a series of strategic adjustments were made. ”

"Yes. ”

"In fact, I think this worry is superfluous, money and hard power have been fully demonstrated, and there are not many people who are greedy for profit and take risks. ”

"If it weren't for the Old Gods, I'd think the same thing. ”

Dumbledore was silent again before he said, "Desperate enemy." ”

Kane smiled: "I think there is an internal reason for the silence of the ancient gods and the rise of mankind. ”......
