Chapter 50: Unraveling the Wizarding World
"Hermione, read on!" Melda whispered. There was an expression of eagerness on his face.
"Read?"
Hermione gave Melda a strange look, not understanding why he had allowed herself to continue reading.
However, when she found a received name at the bottom of her, she immediately understood what Melda meant.
"As one of the world's longest-lived wizards, he and Merlin (c. 5th century - 14th century AD) were about 800 years old. Accra Estes (c. 7th century – 13th century AD, about 600 years old) is known as the longest-lived wizard in the world. ”
"Merlin's beard! Melda, your ancestors lived to be 600 years old! Upon hearing the name Accra, Ron immediately remembered the unforgettable scene they had had in the Magic Mirror a few days earlier.
"I have a question?" Although it was only a few words, Hermione was keenly aware of a contradiction.
"Since your ancestor Accra has lived for so long, he must have been a powerful wizard, so why isn't there a word about him in the history of magic?"
Hermione asked, looking up suspiciously. Even Nicolame remembered that there was an introduction to the wizard's life in the wizard's card.
But the name Accra, which sounded unfamiliar to her, was a name that Hermione was sure she had never seen there.
Melda was also surprised. He hadn't expected Hermione to find out about this so quickly.
In fact, about his cheap ancestor, Melda also deduced a rough idea after inheriting most of his memories of magic and adding various ancient materials collected by his family.
"Because he's too strong!" Melda said calmly.
Yes, it's too strong, this kind of strength is not a unilateral strength, but an all-round crushing of the magic of the Harry Potter world caused by the otherworldly knowledge carried by Estes herself.
The two sides are not on the same level at all.
"Too strong?"
Harry Ron Hermione was dumbfounded when he heard this answer, what kind of answer is this?
"Did you know that my ancestor, Estes Wilgaraya, was not a native of this world?"
"I don't know!" The three Xiaoqiang replied in unison.
"Well, I didn't expect the International Confederation of Wizards to lock down my ancestors' affairs so strictly." Melda scoffed sarcastically.
Then he continued: "To put it simply, my ancestor Estes's original world has been very prosperous in magic, and when he comes to us, in addition to bringing more advanced magical knowledge, he will also bring fear! ”
"As far as I guess, it should be that magical knowledge that has caused turmoil in the wizarding world, so the International Federation of Wizards will choose the most direct and effective method."
"That would be to completely ban all the magic left by my ancestors, even to the point of erasing him from the history of magic."
Melda shrugged her shoulders and playfully said, "They're experienced in this, aren't they?" ”
Speaking of which, this magical world is really strange enough.
On the one hand, it's really bizarre and wonderful, but when Meda is actually in it as a participant, he realizes that no matter how amazing the prosperity is on the surface, when you really understand the world, you will find that he is actually highly deformed and sick.
If you replace magic with prosthetics, and the bloodline family with corporations, then this neon-like world full of dynamic magic is simply a weakened version of the cyberpunk world.
The Ministry of Magic controls everything, including public opinion.
They decide what magic can be learned and what should be banned.
A large number of magical manuscripts are in the collection of the Ministry of Magic, but they do not produce anything.
Thousands of years of development have not made any progress except to make the powerful ones disappear with the technology or magic spells that have the opportunity to change the entire magical world. There are even some aspects of regression.
As far as Melda knows, most of the vast number of magical items kept by the Ministry of Magic's Department of Mysteries are just 'proper collections'.
It's a dream to figure out how they work.
Judging from the fact that Nicolame, a wizard who has lived for more than 600 years, is still the best alchemist in the whole of Europe, we can know what the wizarding world has been like under the control of the International Federation of Wizards for thousands of years.
This reminded Melda of a passage in the famous science fiction work "The Three-Body Problem" that she had seen in her previous life.
After Zhizi blocked geophysics, Professor Ding Yi said after hibernation was lifted: I was a person from two centuries ago, and now I can still teach physics in universities, and it is the most cutting-edge physics!
In the world of Harry Potter, isn't it Nicolame, a man who has lived for six centuries, who can still stand at the forefront of cutting-edge alchemy?
This is the sorrow of a world.
Sometimes Melda thinks it might as well be for Voldemort to dominate the British wizarding world. Although the wizards at the bottom would have a miserable life in that cyberpunk world, at least according to Voldemort's personality, the Muggle world would have been miserable as well.
This can be regarded as a disguised interruption of the development of Muggle technology, at least it will not continue to die slowly.
Thinking of this, Melda couldn't help but look up, Hermione, who was holding a book, and her face was full of resentment.
Thankfully, there's also Hogwarts.
Thankfully, there's also Hogwarts.
Only then can there be hope in this muddy world.
Hermione, Hermione.
Before she knew it, Melda was surprised to find that Hermione was the savior who saved the wizarding world.
What's the use of his immortal Harry Potter?
The minister's pendant is only.
"Don't do that, Hermione." Melda noticed that there was something wrong with Hermione's face, and she was afraid that the savior of the wizarding world would become the third Dark Lord. Then he hurriedly explained: "The Ministry of Magic is also afraid that this magical knowledge will cause turmoil in the magic world!" ”
"They're kind too."
"Probably?"
Melda's yin and yang weirdness successfully dispelled a lot of the resentment that had just risen in Hermione's heart.
"Forget it, let's not talk about it. What should we do about the Philosopher's Stone? Why don't you tell the principal about our reasoning first? Hermione took a deep breath to calm her emotions.
"Dumbledore? Said Snape was going to steal that Nicolame's Philosopher's Stone? Will he believe it? ”
"And Quirrell, Ron. No matter how much you don't like Snape, we can't wronged the good guys. Hermione said sternly.
"Snape? He? Good? Harry, do you believe it? Ron scoffed as if he had heard some joke.
"Hmm..."
Harry was surprisingly hesitant, presumably because Harley was so well taken care of by Snape that he felt a lot better about him.
Finally, he whispered timidly, "Maybe! ”
