Chapter 326: The Broken House Leaks Through the Wind and Rain
Under Kane's influence, the current Hogwarts wizards are much more powerful than in the original history line.
First of all, it is strong in consciousness.
Of course, their combat literacy is cultivated by confrontation games, and there is still a gap between them and actual combat. Even if they think they can, but when it comes to actual combat, it is not easy to say how much they can play.
However, the Glenfinan Viaduct incident that happened two months ago stimulated the young wizards to a considerable extent, and some of the seniors were no longer satisfied with the simulated battle, and privately conducted wizard duels, for which in addition to their own private doctors caused medical accidents, they were also severely deducted points by the academy.
In general, the little wizards are more brutal and fierce than the original history line, especially the Gryffindor baby lions, who always seem to be energetic, many of them are running farther and farther on the road of the horseman who can only fight, and the cultural class is miserable, call them stupid, and develop combos, tactics or something but one by one.
As the branch dean, Professor Minerva McGonagall once angrily shouted that if he failed more than two courses, he would be forbidden to participate in the War Witch Club and use the magic stars.
This really frightened the little wizards for a while.
But they soon discover that at Hogwarts, apart from Kane Shafiq, the creator of the magical stars, it is probably only the Headmaster Dumbledore who can prevent the apprentices from using the magical stars.
I'm not sure, Dumbledore has never made a move, and the little wizards speculate so, mainly because Dumbledore is a famous swordsman who has accumulated power for a long time, and many young wizards have grown up listening to Dumbledore's legends, and some even think that even Kane is not Dumbledore's opponent.
Since the Headmaster didn't care, and Professor McGonagall couldn't help it, the young wizards soon went their own way again. As for not being allowed to participate in the War Witch Club, then play actual combat.
In the end, Professor McGonagall, who loves her students, relented, she felt that the magic used by the young wizards in wizarding duels was dangerous, and the battles were fierce and brutal, and it was easy to get injured and even die, so it was better to be safe in a virtual environment.
Battle mentality + magic stars, this is what wizard apprentices rely on.
The little wizards in the original history line have basically no score for fighting spells.
Even Harry, the savior who has been tossing since the first grade and always making a little trouble every year, is like a headless fly in this regard, and when something happens, he basically plays on the spot and uses it instinctively, and he basically has no ideas in his head.
Even so, in '94, he was able to organize Dumbledore's Army, serve as a dueling tutor, and share some spellcasting experience.
It can be said that the wizarding apprentices of Hogwarts, except for a few characters, are mostly battle scumbags, and the magic they learn will tease mortals, provided that the other party does not know enough about wizards and magic.
If you encounter the secret service team under the five departments of the mortal world Britain now, many wizards are afraid that they will be taught to be human in a few minutes.
In fact, this has already happened.
It was an armed conflict over smuggling.
The Shafiq family suddenly and completely cut off most of their business, and the chain of raw material gathering, processing, and manufacturing of magical items was extremely badly hit.
Shafiq certainly abides by the spirit of the contract and pays spillover liquidated damages to all people and groups associated with it, including upstream and downstream material providers and goods sellers.
But people who have made a fortune more or less are not happy, and the business is gone, this is a long-term livelihood, a job to support their families and make ends meet.
Of course, without Zhang Butcher, everyone may not have to eat hairy pigs. In the words of some people: "Shafiq is so capricious, in fact, it is better to leave early, at least the original producers, the business is not too bad." ”
This is actually an objective fact similar to the fact that a large factory forced a handicraft workshop to go bankrupt.
The rise of Shafiq has made some people lose their jobs. The wizarding world is already small in population and the scale of the industry is not large, Kane can pretend to be 'rich but benevolent', provide employment training, work more easily, and earn a lot more money than in the past, which is nothing more than changing from a boss to a part-time job.
Some people can't accept it, and they are clinging to the traditional handicrafts passed down from their ancestors, and Shafiq has not rushed to exterminate them, and through his own influence, he has asked the Ministry of Magic to support some of them that do have their own characteristics, which is regarded as protecting the cultural heritage of wizards.
Now that Shafiq has suddenly closed the license and suspended operations, vacating a large amount of market share, a group of so-called 'masters' are alive again, of course, there are also bulls, ghosts, snakes, and gods jumping up and down, and even some are swaggering and deceiving under the sign of 'Shafiq family authorization'.
To be fair, Kane's negative departure will not do the greatest harm to the entire wizarding world, especially the British wizarding world, economically.
No one is a fool, everyone will imitate the copycat! You are the first to eat crabs with a golden idea, and everyone will accept this, but you can't stop everyone from following suit and drinking some crab soup, right?
Therefore, a new production and sales model has been formed, the market has been developed, or people's new consumption habits have been cultivated. In this context, Shafiq withdrew, and some people filled it, even if it was shoddy, not as good as the original, but from the overall point of view, it would not be much different.
It is nothing more than the original Shafiq family relying on the magic industry, which is of high quality and low price, and the golden signboard is well-known, and it is almost monopolized in many industries. And now there is a group of good and bad industry players competing openly and secretly, and the consumer's uncle is not as comfortable as in the past, and it takes some time to select and measure.
Kane's negative departure, the biggest damage to the wizarding world, is actually a binding withdrawal.
The Shafiq family has always been strong, I can give more money, the rules, but I have the final say, if you want to get this high salary, you have to listen to me.
This style of work has expanded from the professional field it operates to almost all fields. Including the impact on public order, law and order, etc.
If nothing else, let's just say what happened to Grindelwald after he escaped from prison, he was chased and intercepted by a hundred thousand bounty wizards, there was no way to go to the sky, there was no way to enter the ground, no one dared to stay, and he hid in caves and forests like a beast for a while, and was finally captured. Aggrieved and desolate, but it also shows the obscenity of the Shafiq family very well.
Later, it joined forces with the official of the mortal world, thousands of wizards participated, and thousands of raid search teams acted at the same time, and all the living corpses distributed in Britain were wiped out in one fell swoop. It also shows the Shafiq family's strong ability to control the field and dominate the country.
Others, such as the attack on Heathrow Airport, the living train and the warband of the Dawn of the Gods tearing apart in the abandoned subway tunnel, etc., can be regarded as flexing muscles, Shafiq's private soldiers, are indeed fierce.
And all of this constitutes an invisible protective shield of order, of course, some people call it a one-handed cover.
Anyway, the result is that no matter which one you want, if you want to engage in some crooked ways and move some crooked thoughts, you have to think about whether you will provoke the Shafiq family. After all, once provoked, the cost is immediately high and unacceptable, and the loss-making business is generally not done.
As a result, the Shafiq family was suddenly started and simply left this world. Well, in the eyes of many people, this running style is indeed super compelling. But it also made many people feel like 49 years at once.
The mountains that pressed on his body were almost three mountains, and when he finally moved away, Brother Monkey's spirit immediately exploded, and he was full of blood and red to play tricks.
Rules? Lao Tzu exists to smash the rules to a pulp. If we don't smash the old rules, how can Lao Tzu get rich? If you want to get rich, you must follow the rules that are favorable to Lao Tzu.
It's not like a revolution, after all, it's just a quest for money, so in less than a month, chaos is staged, which can be called a group of demons dancing wildly.
However, before Shafiq's departure, the British Isles were already unified, and the cooperation between the transcendent and the mortal world had become closer, and foreign transcendents who landed in England would be subject to security checks by the joint police.
This new way of playing, to a large extent, absorbs the system of the mortal customs, formal and professional, far from being comparable to the ridiculous bureaucratic bureaucracy of the Ministry of Magic in the past.
Some troublemakers lack the ability to adapt to change, and they still use the same way of thinking as in the past to deal with the smuggling business. In the words of one of the mortal United cops, "After working for a while, I'm really a little skeptical of the wizards' intelligence. Theoretically, it would be very smart to be able to learn magic. But their behavior is really stupid, and my 4-year-old son is playing tricks better than theirs. ”
To put it bluntly, it is a child's strip, and if you cover it up casually, you want to get away with it, and even talk nonsense with your eyes open, so that many times mortal policemen are thinking about whether the other party is deliberately playing tricks.
No, it's not intentional, it's just this kind of stupidity living in the past tense, whether it's conservative or not, it's okay to say that they don't want to make progress, in short, people are sometimes stupid, just like the kind of thief who robs a bank and can't pass the turnstile gate, it's unbelievable and gimmicky.
Perhaps it is precisely because of stupidity that such wizards are often very dangerous, have a violent temper, have little restraint in their heads, and dare to kill people if they don't deal with them in a few words, and kill them on the spot.
As a result, a mortal policeman was suddenly used with the Diamond Heart Curse of the Unforgivable Curse.
This mortal policeman is a professional soldier selected from the professional violent organs, and his combat quality is extremely high, and he judged that this was a forbidden spell according to the light and luster of the magic and the degree of destruction of the small protective kit on his body at the first time, and immediately pulled out his gun and fired back, one shot in the head and two shots in the heart, and the wizard failed to cast the second magic, so he died and could not die again.
No way, in terms of physical reactions, wizards are not much stronger than mortals, and even slightly inferior, after all, mortal professionals just quickly pull out their guns from the quick pull sleeve, and the audience doesn't know how many times they have practiced.
In fact, before this incident, there had been incidents of joint law enforcement officers being shot by mortals with rifles and sniper rifles during firefights with poachers. It's just that this incident, which happened like a customs, is a public place, and the impact is relatively large.
Not to mention how the case will be handled in the end, some of the things it reveals make people think deeply. Many people in the mortal world feel that they have seen the strength of wizards clearly.
It can be said that Shafiq's departure not only led to the collapse of the order of the wizarding world, but also exposed the weak side of the wizard to the mortal world.
This is a double crisis, the outlaws among the wizards are one of the most important, the mortal world sees the weakness of the wizards, and the coveting of extraordinary resources, creations, and knowledge is another, if you count terrorists like Voldemort, and the likes of evil gods, it is threefold.
The new three mountains are coming down, and some people are finally really feeling the pressure. I finally realized what kind of pressure the Shafiq family was carrying behind a series of enviable achievements in the past.
Kane walked away in a bad mood for a reason, the wizard's small society is actually an old dilapidated house, and it is necessary to package it as a cultural monument to elevate it to the outside, and to the inside, it must be carefully picked up to keep it from collapsing as much as possible.
In a way, Kane, who connects the wizarding world with the mainstream world, is actually doing this kind of pastemaker's work. You need to interact with the mortal world to revitalize the economy of the wizarding world, and the wizard must be forced and dry in front of mortals to make people awe-inspiring and willing to deal with you.
Kane's purpose is not money, and there are not many people in the British wizarding world, and there are more than 7,000 people who pay salaries to each of them?
But in addition to being an uncle, he also pretends to be more pretentious than playing with the Virgin, pointing fingers, which is not right and tasteless. This Kane is tired of it. Du Nima lives in a dream one by two, Lao Tzu simply pulls his hand, let you feel the wind and rain of reality, this is not a pure HP world, when you are an uncle, why?
Dumbledore's benevolence has repeatedly hit a wall since Kane left.
Kane fights with him, and he won't be jealous of him if he fails, at most he finds him annoying. And if you can't fight, Kane will really stop, instead of arguing and doing it.
But others are not as unscrupulous as Kane. The first is pressure from the International Federation of Magic and other ministries of magic.
The main thrust of these pressures is to obtain the rights and interests associated with Kane's legacy. There is even blackmail based on false contracts.
The Headmaster of Hogwarts is indeed very noble, but Dumbledore is first and foremost an English wizard, as a respected and important person, the interests of the British wizarding community have been damaged, he can't sit idly by, today he dares to ignore this kind of thing, then the next Hogsmeade Town, Hogwarts shares, I'm afraid there will be a saying.
The International Federation of Magic, some people are ashamed to say that Fir Hill is Shafiq's legacy to all wizards, and should be allowed to be open to the public, and related technologies should also be opened, and wizards can no longer cherish their brooms and work behind closed doors.
Of course, this is just a temptation. But it also shows the covetousness of wizards.
In stark contrast to the pressure from wizards from abroad, the British official revival of the old story, the Glenfinan Viaduct incident.
The official representative is talking about this bridge is the world's first reinforced concrete viaduct, cultural heritage, to put it bluntly, this is asking for money.
However, the real purpose is not to ask for money, but to ask for money is just an entry point, so as to talk about the Hogwarts Express line, including the nine and three-quarters platform, and then to Hogwarts. In general, it is necessary to make trouble.
These things have not been successfully resolved, and they are all delayed, but how long can they be delayed?
Then there was the outbreak of the Black Abyss, the attack on Hogwarts, in fact, there was another incident, Azkaban was attacked, and the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic were unable to rush to reinforce Hogwarts because of Azkaban.
There's a dog ticket there, and there's a precedent for rescuing prisoners, and Hogwarts has at least a castle circle to rely on, so what does Azkaban have?
Dumbledore was in pain, as if the whole world had become bad in a short period of time.
"So, is this the world as it is?" he felt that among the mistakes he had made in the past, it could be regarded as a mistake to make Kane angry.
Of course, this is Dumbledore exalting himself, and Kane is leaving, not just because he doesn't deal with him......
