The issue of "Muggles becoming wizards" in the cabin obviously attracted Dumbledore's attention, but he didn't seem to have any intention of getting involved. He just asked Anton to leave the school and find someone who was said to be able to help.
"Being from one of the twenty-eight pure-blood families of the Holy Clan, if there is anyone with the most connections in the wizarding world, it must be him."
"The most well-connected people?" Anton looked at Dumbledore curiously. He and Dumbledore apparated to this small town in southern England. At this moment, he was sitting in the back of a Muggle bus, heading towards a man named Ba
Heading towards the village of Delray Barberton.
Dumbledore nodded and fiddled with a strange instrument in his arms. The thing looked a bit like a nautical compass. On the compass pointer stood a weird little puppet in the shape of a dwarf. The puppet followed.
The car swayed and the body swayed, as if dancing.
"Yes, even Tom has a bit of a crush on him. You know, it's not easy."
Anton blinked curiously, probably guessing who it was.
"Horace Slughorn, once treated Tom as Professor Snape treated you."
"Oh" Anton's little face wrinkled up, "This is a terrible metaphor."
Dumbledore looked away from the dwarf puppet and glanced at Anton, "What's interesting is that this old colleague of mine was the Potions Professor and the Dean of Slytherin House."
Anton grinned, he didn't like this kind of inexplicable coincidence, "So you are planning to recruit him to be the potions professor in the school?"
"There are considerations in this regard." Dumbledore rubbed the bridge of his nose tiredly, "Professor Snape doesn't know when he will wake up. Professor Fiennes's teaching can only be used as a supplement. I don't want all my students to wake up."
He led me to the evil path of potions."
"Furthermore, Fiennes has complained to me many times, hoping to find someone to help him share some teaching tasks. I have to consider rehiring Professor Slughorn."
Anton smacked his lips and said, "I thought you were going to take me to find someone who can solve the problem of 'Muggles turning into wizards'."
Dumbledore smiled and looked at Anton, "Yes, Professor Slughorn has a very high reputation in the pure-blood family. Even Barty Crouch Sr. will respect him. At the same time, he has many connections
There are wizards in all walks of life, whether they are Ministry of Magic officials, writers, or even musicians, he can help you find people. I think you will need such a mature and steady elder to help you handle this matter."
"And he is an excellent Occlumency Master, Potions Master, and Transfiguration Master. I think you will have many topics in common."
"The most important thing is that since Tom announced his return, he has been sending people to find his former teacher. Professor Slughorn did not want to help this student. He had to run around to avoid Tom's men. Sometimes even
He will wait until the owner of the Muggle residence leaves and then hide inside."
"I think if you are willing to provide him with shelter, he will definitely be happy to do something for you."
"He must also know that Tom doesn't dare to provoke your people at the moment."
"Oh, here we are."
The gorgeous compass instrument suddenly stopped swinging, and the dwarf puppet pointed at a Muggle house outside the window. The entire bus seemed to have stopped in time. Everyone on the bus, including the car, was stagnant in a high-speed running process.
middle.
Everything around me seemed to be shrouded in white light, like a dream.
Dumbledore put away the instruments and stood up, walking towards the car door, "Let's go, kid."
Anton curled his lips behind him and recruited a professor to plot against himself. The old bee was indeed an old bee.
Well, he also planned to meet Professor Horace Slughorn, who originally planned to help his favorite student Tom Riddle pave the way to become Minister of Magic after graduation.
After Anton and the others got off the bus, all the light behind them disappeared. As if the bus did not notice that two people were suddenly missing from the bus, it continued to drive forward, turned a corner and disappeared without a trace.
Walking from this not very wide road to the path between two houses, they came to a steeper and narrower street, with rows of exquisite small buildings with gardens on both sides.
At this moment, Anton suddenly raised his eyebrows and looked at Dumbledore in surprise, "Invasion curse?"
This street has actually been released with an extremely high-end 'defense against intrusion' magic, which is spread across every corner like a spider web. This magic uses a method similar to the 'Muggle Expelling Curse' magic to attack the spider web.
Predators convey messages.
This is not a simple spell, it is one of the high-end map spells like the Red Loyalty Curse.
"How is it?" Dumbledore laughed, "I think this man will not disappoint you."
Anton blinked, one of his eyes suddenly turned into a sparkling blue, and he looked towards a building across the street.
There, countless magical images were surging rapidly. In the field of vision of Anton's magical eyes, this Muggle street, where there was no magic flowing elsewhere, seemed to be lit up with colorful searchlights.
Feeling that the street near the mountains was a little damp and cold due to the climate, Anton took out his wand and gently swiped it in the air in front of him.
Suddenly, the water vapor became thicker and condensed into fog, floating in the air, refracting the sunlight in the sky and twinkling.
Dumbledore looked at the mist with some curiosity. He could vaguely feel that the light refracted in the mist began to change, and finally a hall with a fireplace and a sofa slowly emerged.
"What kind of magic is this?"
With more than a hundred years of life, a passionate love for magic, and never giving up the study of magic, Dumbledore dare not say that he understands everything about magic, but he is definitely one of the most knowledgeable people in the wizarding world today.
But the magic in front of him made him feel no trace of any other magic. It was simply a brand new and unfamiliar magic!
Anton chuckled, "I have been studying the subject of gray magic recently. As you know, I have told you about this part. It is actually highly related to 'everyday magic' and 'universal human consensus'."
"So, I tried to introduce Muggle science into magic and made some subtle attempts."
"Science?" Dumbledore looked at Anton in disbelief.
"Yes," Anton chuckled, "Grey magic pays attention to individuals and environments. I think you must know more about this than me. After all, you taught me a lot of this part."
"My previous study on "Wizards Are Gods" was to figure out the spiritual power deep in the soul of an individual."
"In turn, we can also start from the 'environment' aspect."
"It's the 'collective consciousness' that I studied before. The characteristics of the universe itself, and the principles that are naturally universally applicable, have subtly penetrated into the minds of Muggles, the largest population in the human race. It is definitely a better research direction."
Anton gestured to Dumbledore to look at the mist, "This thing is called refraction of light!"
"Refraction of light..." Dumbledore murmured and repeated this phrase, looking at Anton with some excitement, "What you mean is that you are not using 'scientific content', but using the general Muggle consensus.
This collective consciousness of ‘scientific content’?”
"That's right!" Anton was very excited that Dumbledore could understand what he was saying. "We talked about the origin of wizards before. Do you still remember? I think wizards originated from Muggles' desire for mystery and the supernatural.
eager."
He gestured with joy, "From this perspective, Muggle science will be the biggest turning point that completely changes the wizarding world!"
"As Muggles explore the world and the universe, as they attribute their illnesses to germs rather than to demonic curses or punishments for their own lack of morality, as they understand more and more, as they learn more about science
Its popularity is getting wider and wider..."
"Muggles' sense of mystery about this world will also dissipate little by little."
"I think that when technology reaches a certain level, the desire and identification with 'mystery' among the majority of the human population, Muggles, will be reduced to a minimum..."
"Then, by that time, using Muggles' firm views on science will be a new path for magic, which will definitely produce more powerful effects than magic in history."
"From the perspective of 'grey magic', magic is grafted onto science. With the development of science, magic will become more powerful!"
"Merlin's beard!" Dumbledore exclaimed.
As he listened to Anton's narration, he seemed to feel that an extremely huge magical new continent was appearing before his eyes. Looking through the clouds and mist, he could see the corner of a towering wizard tower on the edge of this new continent, which he yearned for so happily.
At that moment, Dumbledore seemed to have returned to his childhood, the wonderful feeling of not planning a great goal such as peace for the world, but devoting himself wholeheartedly to the wonderful magical world.
At that time, every magic he saw would be amazed, delighted and enthusiastic about it.
how long……
I no longer feel the beauty of magic. How long have I been numb to everything I see?
After seeing everything about people's hearts, destiny, time, life, etc., do you really think that magic has no way forward?
Anton chuckled and told him - Lao Deng, has it just begun?
