Chapter 376: Muggles Are All Careerists

Seeing their curiosity, George put together "The Wizard's Travels", a question that could not be answered in a few sentences. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

He said slowly, "The Triwizard Tournament was founded more than 700 years ago. After the establishment of Hogwarts, this isolation from the real world began to spread to other countries. Some of Europe's magical powers have also begun to follow Hogwarts' example in establishing similar house mechanisms. ”

"In this case, the magic academies of various countries have also begun to flourish, and wizards have begun to establish strong and effective organizations. When the forest is big, everyone has it, and the more people there are, the more ideas they have. ”

"Everyone thinks that their academy is the best academy, and they all feel that their country is the most powerful wizarding country. ”

"In that case, the exchanges and battles between the magic academies became logical. The Triwizard Tournament is like this, which has both a sense of comparison and a friendly exchange. ”

"The three largest schools of witchcraft and wizardry in Europe, Hogwarts, Beauxbatons, and Durmstrang negotiated together to host the Triwizard Tournament. In this way, three colleges are divided, and the competition is held every five years, and the three colleges are held in rotation. ”

Listening to George's explanation, Harry and Ron immediately became interested, which was much more beautiful than Quidditch and the House Cup. The battle between the three academies of the three countries, with the competition of students, divides the superiority of the academy, and determines the strength of the three magical countries, which is really cool.

"Can we participate, then?" they immediately asked, already imagining that attending such a major international event would receive no less attention than the Quidditch World Cup.

"Obviously, no, this year's contestants have to be over 17 years old. George decisively extinguished their illusions.

"Why did they stop holding it before?" asked Hermione, pointedly, for the history she knew, Hogwarts hadn't hosted a Triwizard Tournament in hundreds of years. If so, it should be recorded in A History of Hogwarts.

George said slowly, "The competition within the academy is at most a fist stick on the Quidditch field, and some spells thrown at each other in private. But the contest between countries will shed blood and kill people. ”

"There were too many people participating in the Triwizard Tournament and too many people dying. So it only lasted for more than a hundred years, and then it was interrupted. Since then, there have been attempts to recover, but without success. ”

"Will it be dead?" Hermione shouted incredulously, "How could a school allow students to participate in such a competition?" she couldn't understand, shouldn't the school be a safe place, a place to educate students, how could it be allowed to allow students to participate in a triwizard tournament that would have a lot of casualties.

"Not only will there be deaths, but there will be a lot of deaths, and on the other hand, the number of people who have signed up has not decreased. George didn't slow down and said something more exciting.

"Aren't students afraid of death?" Harry and Ron also had chills, and although they were interested in such a popular event, they had absolutely no intention of losing their lives.

"So there's a huge difference between ancient magic and modern magic, and modern wizards are lucky. George said meaningfully.

Hermione asked thoughtfully, "It's because wizards at that time still used ancient magic." The magic they learn and use will face magic backlash, so they don't see life and death very lightly?"

She remembered that George had said that the astonishing destructive power of ancient magic was not only directed at the outside world, but also at the wizards themselves.

George nodded and said, "That's right, with the popularization of modern magic, wizards will not face the threat of death all the time. They have no more interest in the Triwizard Tournament, and the wizard's population is small and cannot afford to risk mass deaths. ”

"Then why are they going to re-launch the Triwizard Tournament? Hermione squealed, "It's too dangerous. ”

George said flatly, "Don't worry too much, you're not old enough to compete. What's more, the three academies don't go crazy for no reason, they have improved the competition system this year and added protection. After all, over the years, although the wizarding world has made slow progress, it has still made some progress. ”

He said solemnly, "This is a good thing, the wizarding world needs some fresh vitality. ”

He can also see that the reason why the wizarding world has made slow progress over the years is largely related to the isolation of the wizarding world. Wizards cut themselves off from the real world and ensured themselves from being contaminated by Muggles.

But in the same way, the world that is too pure has also made their civilization lack ambition and vitality.

Wizards have very little desires, even Voldemort, if strictly calculated, his desires are only immortal. He named his organization the Death Eaters, which means to conquer death.

But if you compare his ambitions and dreams with those of the careerists of the Muggle world. It was immediately apparent that even the most terrifying Dark Lord in the wizarding world was as pure as a white rabbit compared to the careerists of the Muggle world.

The careerists of the Muggle world are really in charge of the sky, the earth, and the air in the middle. Immortality is only a small part of their ambitions.

As early as more than 2,000 years ago, Qin Shi Huang of the Muggle world sent Xu Fu to Penglai with 3,000 boys and girls, hundreds of soldiers, plus craftsmen, logistics, and a team of more than 5,000 people, to seek immortal medicine.

Qin Shi Huang failed to find the elixir of immortality, but he still did not give up. After that, he built the Afang Palace, the Terracotta Army, and wanted to fight the heavens and the earth, wanted to live and live, and even after death, he wanted to dominate the world.

Compared to Voldemort, who only wanted to live forever, careerists in the Muggle world had long pinned their ambitions on the sky. Some of them pretend to be the Heavens, and some of them are the Sons of Heaven, and they may be the sons of the Heavens, or they may be the Sons of the Heavens.

As for careerists who want to become the king of gods and gods of gods, it is even more commonplace. For careerists in the Muggle world, canonizing gods is also a sparse and commonplace.

Of course, none of them succeeded, their world was big enough, their ambitions were big enough, but they were all Muggles, and none of them had magic. But even that doesn't hide the fact that Muggles are ambitious.

Every Muggle knows that one will succeed in ten thousand bones, bleeding and other idle books. The head is on the shoulders and you can take it, and you dare to call it the old horseman. The demon king of the Muggle world has always wanted to destroy the world and rule everything.

The wizarding world is a different state, the wizarding world is too small, and even the ambitions of the wizards who have integrated into the wizarding world are too small. The practice of ancient wizards isolating the real world has protected the purity of the wizarding world, but it has also greatly suppressed the pattern and ambition of the wizarding world.
