Grindelwald hummed softly, patted the graphite dust in his palm onto the bedside table, pulled up a stool and sat down next to the two of them, crossed his arms and nodded, saying sarcastically.
"Yeah, any curse that seems a little bit dangerous, or that cannot be restored in a short time, and there is no magic to solve the curse, is all labeled with a black magic, and then locked into the dust of history - it's really
A convenient and quick way to deal with it. I finally know why the magic world has become more and more mediocre in recent years."
As the first-generation Dark Lord, Grindelwald is no stranger to this method of coping.
After all, Durmstrang Magic School, which he once attended, is famous for its study of black magic, and the reason why he was expelled from the school was because he went too far on this path and made too much noise, so that
The school had to react - in fact, he had learned a little bit about it in the past few days, and most of the spells he had researched were included in the category of black magic.
"Albus, why was your spellcasting so easy just now? I don't mean to despise you, but the 'forbidden black magic' that can make this little guy so embarrassed doesn't seem to be as simple as you showed."
Grindelwald paused for a moment, then touched his chin thoughtfully with his right hand, and asked with implicit concern about the real reason for Elena's fainting - the magic power in this little mixed-race Veela was at least not weak.
Just like a normal little wizard aged sixteen or seventeen.
"Knowledge, experience and magic."
Dumbledore smiled slightly, placed his fingers on his knees, and replied calmly:
"Perhaps you should read more about the ancient alchemy documents in my room. Detection, understanding, separation... This is the basic way for wizards to study alchemical magic and transformation magic a long time ago. Therefore, this spell is named Solution
Leave the curse."
As he spoke, Dumbledore twirled his fingers in the dust and drew an inward circle.
"It's like a wonderful loop - the deeper you explore things, the clearer you will understand the nature of things; and the clearer you understand the nature of things, the easier the process of discovering and getting results will be."
"The power of knowledge, but it's not science or magic at all...well, it's quite philosophical."
Elena couldn't help but murmured in a low voice and curled her lips with emotion.
Magic, or occultism, has always been complementary to science. This is an undeniable historical origin even in the modern scientific community. In fact, the word "science" really appeared around the 18th century.
It was the time when the magical world and the non-magical world were officially separated.
Before that, people had a unified name for the study of nature and the laws of the universe - "natural philosophy". The current so-called PhD actually comes from the Latin word for doctor of natural philosophy.
For example, Newton's masterpiece is called "Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy" rather than "Mathematical Principles of Science".
In Elena's view, natural philosophy is like a mixture of science and magic, trying to use two dimensions to find a balance point to explain the world. Dumbledore's popular science and magic display undoubtedly proves that she has always been
conjecture since.
There is no doubt that human exploration of the world will not change depending on whether there is magic or not.
"What you just did was very reckless and dangerous, do you know that?"
Dumbledore's blue eyes looked at Elena quietly through his half-moon glasses and said in a deep voice.
"The reason why the Ministry of Magic sets the Dissociation Spell as a black magic is not just because of the destructive power it may produce, but also because of the unguided private practice, which is too dangerous for wizards. Before trying this
Before using magic, you must complete a lot of learning and memorizing in books and textbooks."
"Well, I already know."
The little hair on Elena's head shook listlessly. It felt terrible to have to obey instructions obediently.
For Elena, Albus Dumbledore's words were not difficult to understand.
It is true that magic is a very convenient existence. Most of the time, as long as the result is clearly determined, it can find a way to reach the final goal through some wonderful mechanism and bypass the intermediate process - but, it is like long jump and long jump.
Just like wormhole traversal, the length of the blank in the middle process determines the difficulty of realizing a magic to a certain extent.
"It is neither your duty nor any necessity to explore the origin of transformed matter. No wizard can complete the cornerstone of the entire alchemy, not even Nick Flamel and Paracelsus... Well, I
It’s not that you…even them can’t do this.”
Dumbledore glanced at the old wizard sitting on the stool next to him with slight disgust, paused, continued to look at Elena and said with a smile.
"I think you should understand what you are lacking and what knowledge you need to learn. If you are really interested, I will actually be happy to give you a little help..."
Throughout the long history, countless wizards who have outstandingly studied alchemy have accumulated quite rich records.
Hitting firewood with a dissociation spell will produce a large amount of graphite and a small amount of diamonds, and may also cause flames and explosions - this is knowledge recorded in "Elementary Alchemy".
There is no doubt that in Dumbledore's opinion, the reason for Elena's fainting was very simple: she rashly tried to analyze the origin of the match, and although she got the result of the magic feedback by luck, she was temporarily out of power due to excessive consumption.
"um, yes."
Elena nodded seriously, and sat up straight under Dumbledore's appreciative smile.
For a long time, Elena has been proud of her prophetic status as a time traveler. It was only at this moment that she realized clearly that if we look at the entire long history, she is still too immature.
You know, the technological level in previous lives was just on the edge of light nuclear fusion.
The so-called re-fusion is just a scientific hypothesis and goal derived from observing the activities of stars. It is too greedy to rely on magic shortcuts to complete a total of 26 steps of fusion trajectory from hydrogen to iron in one go.
.
"My personal strength alone is simply too willful and arrogant. We need a team, or more than one team, to analyze and study all of this and complete the most basic theoretical foundation - Oh, my God, why didn't I do it before?
Think of this."
Elena hammered her palms hard and licked her lips excitedly, her eyes shining brightly.
With the sudden collapse of the bear, the most precious wealth left in the world is not just the cold value plunder in monetary terms.
People, especially the top geniuses, are the most valuable asset that Mao Xiong has left in this world.
The vague dream just now gave her the most important reminder - now, a group of the world's top nuclear physicists, mathematicians, and chemists are about to lose their jobs.
But, luckily, only she and Dumbledore have seen this in advance.
"Professor Dumbledore, thank you for your help and tips, I understand!"
Elena said eagerly, her whole body filled with motivation for a moment.
"There are still three months left, which is enough time to prepare all the human and financial resources, as well as the advance layout to snatch top scientific researchers - there is no doubt that in terms of economic and material conditions, we can compare with any non-magical country
Everyone must be generous, not to mention, there should be very few people who can refuse an olive branch from the magical world, right?"
"Very good, I will prepare some lessons about alchemy later..."
Dumbledore smiled, and was about to continue speaking according to his previous logic, when he suddenly got stuck, and stared blankly at the white-haired dumpling in front of him who suddenly fell into an excited state - in his impression, the above
The first time she looked like this was after she mortgaged Hogwarts.
The old man looked at Elena, who had an excited face and started to explain the new plan, and twitched her lips.
"...???"
"So it turns out that Gringotts is just a part of it. The purpose is to make the magical world give in a little bit. The non-magical scientists... Is this your attempt to merge the two worlds, Albus? It's really unexpected.
, but it is in line with your character. If I had had the courage like you, maybe we would have succeeded."
A look of sudden realization flashed across Grindelwald's face, he patted his thigh and said with a look of admiration.
After so many years, the social situation in the non-magical world and the magical world has undergone earth-shaking changes compared to a few decades ago. Both the destructive power and the social structure have risen several levels.
Before this, Grindelwald had been worried that one day the magical world would completely die out, and the wizards lurking in the shadows would one day be like rats in the ditch, unexpectedly exposed to the sight of the non-magical world for some reason.
, and then go through a war with almost no chance of winning - magic will not die, but the magical world may disappear.
"Don't worry, my old friends will also fully participate in this plan. After so many years, it's time for everyone to move around... while we can still wave the magic wand and use the remaining energy."
Grindelwald grinned, every wrinkle on his face showing an expression of pleasure, and his tone was full of eagerness to try.
Dumbledore blinked, his expression slightly stiff, and he subconsciously turned his head to look at Grindelwald.
"???"
These two people, in the end...
"It makes sense. If necessary, a certain amount of force is indeed needed to support it."
Elena nodded seriously and touched her flat belly, "Let's go to the kitchen to get some food, I'll do it, and then we'll talk while eating?"
"Albus, don't be in a daze, there's nothing to be embarrassed about. This little guy's cooking skills are very good."
Grindelwald patted the hesitant Dumbledore's shoulder hard, interrupted the old man's unorganized words, grinned and said, "Let's go, I don't know how to get to the Hogwarts kitchen."
