Chapter 90: Calculation
Snape was the first professor to pull the magical stars closer to the fore.
His behavior attracted the attention of other professors and even young wizards.
The magic star was led closer by him, and he saw that he held his hands, the space stretched and expanded, and the little thing became the size of a basketball, and its true face was revealed, like a star like a burning sun, but the burning matter was not hydrogen, but magic particles.
After that, Snape used his wand to cast a spell, condensing a pure life mana, at first no, this mass of magic could not be formed, Snape did not know the concept of hydrostatic equilibrium, but he had a keen sense and realized that it was too little magic.
So he spat out more mana, but it was barely enough!
He thought for a moment, pulling the mass of energy he released a little farther away. The magic has a tendency to form steadily, and when it is pulled a little farther away, the forming is significantly accelerated.
Snape instinctively realized that the farther away he was, the less effective the interaction would be, so he waited patiently for the planets to form, and then began to revolve around the magical stars.
The light of the magical stars shone on the planets, and the polymer of this mass of life magic quickly solidified and began to glow. Snape felt his near-crushed mana recovering, and sensed that the quality and quantity of his life mana had greatly improved.
He immediately thought of more, such as various fine-tuning of the planets, and more law construction......
Professor McGonagall next to her couldn't see it, and kindly reminded: "Snape, the banquet is almost over, you haven't moved at all, eat a little." ”
Snape realized that he had spent a lot of time.
"Funny little things. He covered it up in his usual cold tone, and with a wave of his hand, the magic stars returned to the sky, obviously brighter, but the naked eye could not see the planets, only saw that the main star had changed color, although it was very light, but it was indeed the emerald green that represented life.
Kane, who hadn't eaten for a while, looked at these in his eyes and nodded secretly: "Snape's professionalism is not bad, his knowledge is extensive, and his mind is extraordinarily flexible, and he is indeed among the best." ”
In comparison, Quirinus Quirrell is much more mediocre.
On the surface, Quirrell's efficiency was not slow, and the magic star was constantly adjusted in his hands, but he knew that Quirrell was implicitly copying Snape's operation.
This kind of person who does not have his own ideas in the professional field, he naturally looks down on him.
He didn't have much of a bad feeling for Quirrell. He knew that Quirrell was a Ravenclaw.
The Ravenclaw branch has many top students, and Quirrell was also the best among his peers when he was studying, but he was suspected of 'dead study'.
As a smart man, proud, timid, resourceful and decisive...... Quirrell has all of these problems, and he is aware of some of his shortcomings, but he is more concerned with the ability side, such as his solid theoretical knowledge but serious lack of application experience.
That's why he chose to travel and adventure in enchanted forests around the globe during his vacation.
Kane knew that if the original history line was followed, Quirrell would travel to the Albanian forest next summer, then meet Voldemort and be persuaded to join the dark forces.
He neither intended to encourage nor to fight.
It is not that he is afraid that history will be changed and that he will lose the advantage of foresight, but that he does not take the people led by Voldemort too seriously.
The British wizarding world, and even the entire wizarding world, have changed too much under his influence, and this kind of change is no longer something that anyone can shake, not even Voldemort and Death Eaters.
Compared with Kane's self-confidence, Dumbledore once again deeply felt powerless.
After dropping Sybil Trelawney out the door, Dumbledore paced around the room, lost in thought.
On the merit wall, the successive principals have quarreled into a pot of porridge through the photo frame.
It was suggested that the situation should be brought to the Ministry of Magic as soon as possible, and that the International Federation of Magic should even be informed.
Some people also feel that the opportunity has come to deepen cooperation with Kane Shafiq as soon as possible.
There are also concerns that Kane will be the next Voldemort. Of course, it's not that Kane also spreads pain and death like Voldemort did. After all, from a certain point of view, the Shafiq family has basically completed their domination of the British wizarding world with gold gallons.
These soul projections believe that power is the original sin, which can distort people's hearts, and drag an artistic point to say: absolute power brings absolute power, and absolute power gives birth to absolute corruption.
Dumbledore understood this, of course. If he didn't understand politics, he wouldn't be able to sit firmly in the position of Headmaster of Hogwarts, even if he had a high reputation.
From a long time ago, he was no longer a pure wizard, he was still a politician, or rather, a wizard with his own views and political aspirations.
In recent years, he has clearly felt his aging, not only his body, but also the lack of energy, the decline of thinking efficiency, and even the obsolescence of concepts.
He was keenly aware of the re-convergence of the dark forces, and also saw the results of the secularization of the wizarding world promoted by the Shafiq family through the MONOCULUS Chamber of Commerce.
He realizes that another turbulent era is coming, but his role in it is limited.
This made him feel mixed feelings, mainly worried that the cause he had fought for all his life would be wasted.
He could more or less guess what Kane was going to do.
To be honest, he wasn't very optimistic.
Born in 1881, he has lived to be 109 years old, has experienced a lot, and has witnessed a lot.
He thinks Muggles are the best example of this, have their souls been ennobled by material abundance, the progress of production technology?
No.
In his eyes, Muggles today are far less moral than they were a hundred years ago. Selfish, indifferent, utilitarian......
He agrees with the statement that 'strength is original sin'. At the very least, the unrestrained and discreet use of power will always lead to disaster.
Grindelwald, Voldemort, and even himself, have power, and it is difficult for people to calm down, and power is like a beast, rushing around in people's consciousness, making people's desires boil, thinking about this and that.
He didn't think Kane could step out of the box.
When Grindelwald allowed his ambitions to run rampant, he stepped up to stop them.
When Voldemort gathers his crowd to achieve his dark ambitions through brutal means, he leads the Order of the Phoenix and battles it with its wits and courage, and eventually wins.
So, if Kane Shafiq is lost in power, who will defeat him, or to put it another way, who will restrain Kane Shafiq from getting lost in his quest for power?
"Is that alarmist?" Sauron asked him just last night when he talked to Sauron Longbottom about Kane.
Sauron also half-jokingly said: "Money and power and fame are always tied to each other, and the Shafiq family is very rich, and Kane is not like Voldemort, because he doesn't have it, so he is full of hunger." ”
Dumbledore felt that what Sauron had mentioned was indeed an important point.
There is another important point that distinguishes Kane from Voldemort.
Tom Riddle is lonely, in the enlightenment stage of life, lacking the right guidance, but indulging in growth, Tom's early life, did not feel much emotional warmth, nor did he learn to share the happiness, his modesty and politeness, gentleness, aristocratic style, are just a display of means and scheming.
Kane is not like this, the corporate culture of the MONOCULUS Chamber of Commerce, as well as his own way of doing things, is based on the concepts of sharing, collaboration, and shared prosperity.
But this does not mean that Kane will walk on the path of love and justice, and take it as his responsibility to maintain the peace and tranquility of the wizarding world.
"Didn't he tell you? He is in the camp of order, and those who try to subvert the existing order are his enemies. ”
"That being said, it's easy to get out of control without checks and balances. It turns out that Kane is also a very thoughtful and action-oriented person, very capable of doing things, very good at making trouble, very uneasy!"
"Then what do you want to do? Train the next world-class White Wizard?"
Dumbledore nodded, "Sauron, I hope you can support me in this matter, you are the oldest guardian alive and the strongest canon, and I think it's time for the Descendants of Radiance to reappear." ”
Sauron was surprised: "You are forcing the Holy See to hunt witches again!"
"The Shafiq family will not sit idly by and watch the Holy See play a role in the wizarding world of England, and the Holy See will thus become a check-and-balance in the early stages. I will use some extraordinary means to facilitate the birth and rapid growth of the Radiant Descendants. ”
"Albus, this is a dangerous move. ”
"I know what you mean. If you want to do things, but you don't have enough chips, you can only take risks!"
Dumbledore decided to take risks again, and Kane's displays of power at King's Cross and Hogwarts Hall today strengthened Dumbledore's mind......
