Generally speaking, people are accustomed to generally attribute time travel and rebirth to a golden finger.
But in fact, these are two completely different plug-in abilities: foresight, and unique knowledge and worldview.
In the wizarding world, time travel is not completely impossible. As time goes by, with Dumbledore's wisdom, it is impossible not to speculate in this regard - Is Elena Kaslana from the future?
of guests.
But due to the existence of prophecy and the mystery of the soul, a strange paradox also forms in a sense:
If everything only happens at the soul level, then people can never tell who the "prophet" is - he can be regarded as a prophet who has loaded part of the future information, or as a future person who has stored the past information.
However, they don't care about these details.
Every once in a while, similar geniuses will appear in the world. They seem to be reborn, appearing in various fields with some existing knowledge, and then... they will quickly reach the pinnacle of their knowledge and fall into the quagmire again.
In the non-magical world, it might be high school, college, or even a doctorate...but it will eventually stop somewhere.
It's like sprinting forward on a long track.
Whether it is memory inheritance or predicting the future, there must be a certain limit point.
When this matter appeared in the long river of time, in front of elders such as 110-year-old Dumbledore, 666-year-old Nico Flamel... what they were more concerned about was not
The length of time is the direction forward.
In other words...
"Miss Kaslana, why do you think - this may be the last chance for the magic world?"
Dumbledore picked up the book "The Ghosts of Hogwarts" from the table and flipped through it with great interest, "If it is just to conquer the world, or to accelerate to reach the expected level in the future, then I am not interested in this special event.
Invitation taken with a grain of salt.”
"It's simple. At some point in the future... the magic disappears."
Elena said frankly, the girl's lake-blue eyes seemed to contain fire.
"A future without magic is not the future I want - I don't know if those bad things will happen, but I think we have the ability to change it now. At least I think there should be a better choice."
"So, I hope to unite all the forces that can be united."
Elena calmly looked at the three old wizards in the room and said softly.
"Sir Nicholas's experience is crucial in how to deal with multiple relationships, new world order, regulations... and even administrative systems and balance points. If we really succeed in opening a new world, then we still need a complete closure.
The man at the gate of the old world. And Sir Nicholas, Mr. [World], you are that man..."
"I see, so you chose this main card for Nick..."
Nico Flamel picked up the card from the table and stared intently at the tarot card he created in his hand.
This is the last main card, symbolizing the end.
There is no doubt that this is a very important card.
If the mission of "0-The Fool" is taken as the starting point of everything, then "21-World" means the end of the old world and the coming of the new world. It symbolizes the beginning of the cycle, the endless journey, and a stable
Cycles and rhythms symbolize infinite vitality and endless power...
Except for The Fool, this card accumulates the characteristics of all previous cards.
In a sense, [World] can almost be regarded as the final destination and collection of all previous cards.
"...So, Miss Kaslana, how do you want me to help you?"
Sir Ghost's voice gradually became calmer and richer, and he looked at Elena with a slightly thoughtful look.
"Build an empire for the world's first 'Magic Emperor' just like you did when you assisted Henry VIII? If I understand correctly, you can initiate a war at any time and win easily - therefore, in your plan,
I am actually serving as the Chief Minister of State to manage the territory after victory for you, is that so?"
Magic Emperor?
First Minister of State?
"Unfortunately, your understanding may be somewhat biased... Times have changed, sir."
Elena shrugged with a weird look and replied helplessly.
"Monarchy, well, whether it is an autocratic monarchy or a constitutional monarchy, it is an ancient feudal society. Human civilization has now entered a new era of capitalism and the primary stage of socialism. If you try to reverse the course of history,
But there is no good ending... The dictatorial monarchy is really terrible..."
Power breeds corruption, and absolute power breeds absolute corruption.
"Without centralization, there is no execution. You will eventually become the queen of the new world——"
The first Earl Isaacs shook his head and said firmly, "Perhaps in the non-magical world, the incompetent magic emperor will lead to the destruction of the kingdom, but in the magic world, there is another option..."
He glanced at Nico Flamel who was sitting not far away, and whispered meaningfully.
"An immortal magical dynasty that lasts for thousands of years..."
Wasn't this the reason why he abandoned the contract and insisted on maintaining law and order at all costs?
"Nearly Headless Nick" never expected that at the moment when he thought he had successfully buried history and made the ambitions of the wizarding world completely disappear, an unprecedented witch would be born in Hogwarts.
The Philosopher's Stone, Gringotts, Hogwarts, the layout of the non-magical world, the dark forces of the previous generation...
Just the tip of these icebergs rising to the surface is enough to easily overturn the world.
"Everyone will die, including me - as for the Magic Emperor, hehe -"
Elena stared at the translucent body of "Nearly Headless Nick", smiled and said softly.
"The world I'm looking forward to is much more difficult than the Magic Dynasty. It's almost like going through the whole world head-on. After all, in my opinion, the most perfect form of [magic-scientific] civilization is the ghost."
"That...ghost?" Nick frowned in confusion.
"Well, the wide-scale popularization of magic means the liberation of productive forces, the great abundance of materials, and the collapse of knowledge blockade and class differentiation - when wealth gradually loses its meaning and people gradually get rid of their 'dependence on things',
Unfair distribution of wealth and exploitation will be eliminated, thus maximizing the power of civilization."
Elena raised her finger, with a smile on her lips, and said seriously.
"Think about it, when the imperial power no longer exists and capital loses its claws..."
"After realizing this, all the forces in the old world, the Ministry of Magic and the Holy See, pure-blood families and Muggle plutocrats, cruel dictators and cunning capitalist politicians... they will inevitably unite to carry out sacred attacks on us.
Encirclement and suppression.”
"Sorry, I still don't understand what you mean - but it doesn't sound good."
The almost headless Nick frowned even more and said in confusion.
"In short, Elena whispered happily, "I plan to build a new social system that eliminates privileges and eliminates exploitation so that everyone can be treated fairly in a broad sense and fundamentally break down class divisions."
"This is impossible! This is too idealistic."
Nick couldn't help laughing and looked at Elena strangely.
"First of all, what is fairness in a broad sense?"
"When the emperor breaks the law, he is guilty of the same crime as the common people; the elderly are supported and the young are supported; equal educational opportunities, fair employment environment, and resource allocation follow the optimal solution; there is no hierarchy, everyone performs his or her duties, and disputes are eliminated."
"Miss Kaslana!"
Nick, who was almost headless, was stunned and looked at Elena as if she were a madman.
"Haven't you ever understood what the real world is like? This is not building a castle on the beach! People with power and status will enjoy a more favorable life, and there must be a distinction between superiors and inferiors in the operation of society... This is reality,
Not the fantasy world described in the books of Muggle religion! Unless you can become an omnipotent god."
"No, God is not omnipotent - for example, he cannot create a stone that he cannot lift."
Elena took out her wand and played with it back and forth carelessly in her hand.
"Miracles and magic exist, right?"
"If the memory inheritance magic is perfected, then we can achieve educational equality in a broad sense; if the magic system of farming and breeding is completed, then the gap in food, clothing, housing and transportation will be reduced to the extreme; in all walks of life,
There may be differences in the division of labor, but this is based on social operations rather than status and power..."
Elena's wand flicked gently in the air, depicting one high-definition 3D projection after another.
"Yes, if you look at it from the perspective of people in the past, then this is the power of gods - this is like the scene when the ancient ancestors looked at wizards when the first magical light lit up in the dark - and this is just
Our daily life.”
"science--"
Under night, thousands of lights in Salzburg lit up in front of Nick's eyes.
"magic--"
In the flames, one wizard after another passed through the fireplace carrying packages and appeared all over the world.
"Times have changed, Sir Nicholas."
Elena waved her hand gently, dispelling the illusions in the air.
"At least in terms of feasibility, magic can allow humans to overcome their 'dependence on things' to the greatest extent. When the value of wealth is gradually transformed from capital into actual social behavior, class privileges will naturally disappear for the most part."
"Ah this..."
Nick opened his mouth and carefully thought about the loopholes in Elena's words.
"But - I think," Nick frowned heavily, "there is a big difference between the non-magical world and the magical world. This is the difference between human body constitution. Wizards and Muggles even see the world differently.
For example, let’s say I…”
"Then find a way to make them feel it, tell them, and record it as knowledge."
Elena couldn't help but interjected, "Except for ghosts, there are too many things that can't be seen with the naked eye. Human beings cannot see electromagnetic waves with wavelengths outside the range of 380nm to 760nm, which we call ultraviolet and infrared rays - but
This does not affect the non-magical world's understanding of it. Humans cannot see how electrons rotate and move, but we can draw patterns..."
Her right hand gently brushed over the stack of tarot cards on the table, stroking some of the empty spots among them.
"At this moment, not far from the castle, thousands of scholars are meditating."
"The naked eye cannot detect magic, so use instruments. If the instruments are not up to the task, then invent better instruments."
"Magic and science are just two paths that go side by side for human beings to understand the world. The world is there, and it will not disappear because of it. As long as either side arrives, it can dispel the fog for human civilization."
she said, winking at Dumbledore and Nico Flamel.
"Not to mention, we are still working on researching magical life and magical intelligence, so that magic can be turned into daily necessities that can be carried around and integrated into everyone's life - from daily necessities to military industry, from medicine to building materials - now there are
There are many interim results that are worth gratifying, and some of them have even begun to be put into use.”
"So, these things...those ideals...you two also agree?"
Nick, who was almost headless, said, his eyes passing over the pile of incomplete tarot cards thoughtfully.
In addition to the [World] placed in front of him, there are now a total of seven main cards that are not in it.
[Magician] He just saw this card in the hand of Nico Flamel, and according to the conversation between Elena and Dumbledore, they obviously also have a corresponding main card. This is also
It means...
"Are there four more people..."
Nick, who was almost headless, was calculating quickly in his mind.
In this mysterious organization, there are four top wizards with the same weight as Nico Flamel, Albus Dumbledore, Thomas Cromwell, Elena Kaslana...
If La Celsus counts as one, there are three more.
"The last question, if, if you really encounter obstacles... what are you going to do?"
Nick, who was almost headless, stared into Elena's eyes and asked softly.
"Well, first of all, I will try my best to convince them -"
Elena replied with a smile, "We have a lot of negotiators who are experienced and skilled in business. In the magic world, it is best to put peace first and sit down and talk calmly. I believe we can reach a settlement."
"Then what if I can't be convinced?"
Nick shrugged his shoulders noncommittally and continued to ask seriously.
"You should know that this would almost make you an enemy of the whole world. Have you considered it?"
"Eh? How could you be an enemy of the world?"
Elena blinked in confusion and showed an innocent smile.
"Isn't the world on our side? What I originally thought was that being an enemy of us is an enemy of the world - of course I believe that there are no unreasonable people in this world, and I firmly believe that it is not
suspect."
"what do you think?"
Elena glanced at Sir Ghost who was playing with the translucent tarot card in his hand.
