Hogwarts: I Really Don't Want to Be a Wizard - Chapter 119
c119 Just listen, is this talent?
Looking at the history of wizards, America is the cruelest place for wizards.
Most of those who initially chose to go on an expedition to the New World were those who could not survive in England.
Simply risk your life and try to break into a new world in the New World.
Before this, America was far away from civilized society and there were no wars.
On several continents, only in America can we still see wizards and Muggles living in harmony.
Muggles live in tribes, and wizards have always been the elders of each tribe. They use medicine to cure diseases, and rely on magic to keep the tribes alive.
The bandits from England first came to this land with a civilized attitude.
Relying on advanced civilization, wearing a mask of hypocrisy, and acting as a savior, they used medicine and industrial products that were lacking on this continent to exchange the gold and silver they needed from the indigenous people.
I lived like this for a long time.
However, robbers are robbers after all. After they figured out the strength of the aborigines, they couldn’t wait to tear off their masks.
After all, for robbers, why do they need to do business reasonably and legally when they can do business without capital?
I don’t know who made the move first, but after the first person started the massacre, he gained an unimaginable amount of wealth.
The rest of them all went crazy.
The Golden Country, that’s what they call it.
How could the aboriginal bows, arrows, spears, and other cold weapons be able to save their lives under the suppression of such hot weapons?
As for the wizard?
Stop making trouble, the wizards in Europe are almost being wiped out by Muggles using thermal weapons.
Not to mention these tribal wizards who have been away from civilized society for a long time.
But at this time, the aborigines can still survive. After all, all these bandits want is gold and silver minerals.
For the indigenous people who have lived on this land for a long time, these things do not play as important a role in their daily lives as the bandits imagined.
In their daily lives, gold and silver are nothing more than sacrifices or jewelry. Unlike in civilized society, gold and silver are used as general equivalents and can even be used as money.
In this land, no matter which tribe they belong to, the indigenous people may lack food, clothing, and all industrial products, but they certainly do not lack gold and silver ritual utensils.
Compared with gold and silver, food and water that they can eat and drink, and products that can help them live a better life are what they need most.
Bartering is a principle that has been passed down from ancient times and is still used today.
Unable to fight again and again, and unable to listen to their words, the aboriginal people could only keep relocating and giving up their tribal land to this group of “barbarians” who came from afar.
But greed never ends. The robbers who made a lot of money here returned to England with a ship full of gold and silver, showing off their gains to everyone.
Crazy, the whole of Europe went crazy. Everyone was gearing up, spending all their wealth, building large or small ships, sailing across the ocean, and going to the New World to make a fortune for their own class jump.
Go to the country where gold is cast and save a fortune for your descendants.
There is no way. When higher civilizations face lower civilizations, and lower civilizations have the resources they desperately need, they are always barbaric.
In the old British land where classes are gradually solidifying, the conservative old aristocrats have long been in a group.
If you want to knock on that elegant door with your own hands, it may take dozens of generations of the entire family a lifetime of efforts, but you may not be able to succeed.
A brand new continent that no one has ever set foot on, a country full of gold for them to claim, is enough to drive them crazy.
Besides, the gold in the New World can help them knock on the door and become the nobles they have always wanted to be.
It can be said that as long as there is gold that can be obtained in a place, they dare to pull the gods off the altar.
After all, which church priest does not live on donations from nobles?
If the church thinks gold is useless, why do nobles who donate more gold get better treatment when worshiping in the church.
The first batch of guys who went through life and death and came back with gold were originally coming back to find helpers.
After all, just relying on their group of people to take the entire Golden Kingdom into their own pockets is just a dream.
Compared with the tens of millions or hundreds of millions of indigenous people, all the people in their dozens of large ships were drowned by the spitting of the indigenous people.
The New World was completely unfamiliar to them, even with the most advanced weapons at the time and an era-defining strike.
They still suffered heavy losses due to the resistance of the indigenous people.
If not, they wouldn’t be loaded with gold, risking their lives and death, to return to the Old World and show everyone where the wealth is.
As long as they can eat it, even if it is a little slower, they will not send back the information about the New World.
You know, in the early days, all those who wanted to go back and make a fortune together with their fellow villagers were sunk into the bottomless sea.
When the robbers knew that they could not eat this cake by themselves, they finally chose to ask for help.
What could be more effective than asking for help by showing off one’s wealth and making everyone willing to risk life and death and cross the ocean to fight in the New World.
Everyone went crazy. Cargo ships, fishing boats, and even the brave ones, who relied on a few sampans and hung them on the hulls of other ships, wanted to take a ride to the New World to make a fortune.
The lively development of the New World kicked off.
However, gold is limited. The richest and most profitable places have long been occupied by those who arrived first or have the power.
What can the rest of the people do?
They set their sights on the fleeing indigenous people.
Sacrifices, jewelry…
When they saw the gold carried by the indigenous people, they were like hyenas seeing rotten meat.
But even so, they didn’t get much.
The first few batches of people had already divided this place up. Food, drink, housing and transportation, what kind of things don’t cost money.
Gold is very valuable in the Old World.
But in this place far away from the homeland, everyone uses gold, and the value of gold is not as valuable as they imagined.
So, in order to get more gold, their methods became more cruel.
Wherever they went, they burned, killed and looted.
The richness of the New World still attracts newcomers wave after wave.
Everyone wants to get a share of the spoils here.
Finally, the indigenous people were forced to retreat.
They began to resist, and the survivors who died and their clans were wiped out, and the homeless, began to retaliate against the robbers.
Kill one today, kill a pair tomorrow.
Suddenly one day, the robbers realized that they could not bear the resistance of the indigenous people.
Crossing the ocean means hanging your life on your waist. Those who can survive here and survive the acclimatization are not even half.
In the long run, they will be driven out of this golden land by the indigenous people one day.
In order to keep their property and to protect their “legitimate rights and interests”, they carried out a wanton massacre of the indigenous people.
In order to ensure that the indigenous people can be completely exterminated, the new nobles and major forces that have been entrenched for many years have united and started to offer rewards to the indigenous people.
The indigenous wizards who have contributed the most in these actions have even more generous rewards.
Demon hunters have brought new life to this land.
Until now, the land of America has always held the greatest malice towards wizards.
When Grete learned about this, he spat viciously.
No matter which world, these bandits are indeed exactly the same.
Sooner or later, he will settle accounts with these bandits who made their fortunes by plundering one by one.
But it is not possible now. If he had come to this world dozens or hundreds of years earlier, he might be able to do it.
However, Harry’s world is about to enter the new century, and the father-son relationship between him and Britain has long been exchanged in America. He can’t deal with it casually.
Even if all wizards unite, they can’t do it.
When manpower is limited, the times have long changed.
Things like liquidation can only be dealt with with peace of mind after the general situation has been determined.
These things are not what he needs to consider now.
What he needs to consider is how to study the mystery of Seamus and develop strategic weapons belonging to the magic world.
Just like the nuclear weapons in the Muggle world, that is the effective means for each country to feel that peace is better than war.
——
Neville’s coma this time indirectly confirmed part of Grete’s conjecture.
In the past, the small movements in the Dawn Laboratory did not give him such an intuitive observation opportunity.
Neville was knocked unconscious by the magic particles this time, which made Grete realize that wizards and Muggles, the magic world and the Muggle world, are indeed inextricably linked.
Unlike Neville’s creations that can benefit the whole world, the inventions in the Dawn Laboratory are mostly only applicable to the magic side.
Therefore, the gifts Neville received are precious and sufficient.
In order to further verify his conjecture, Grete made a backup of Neville’s research records and sent them to the Dawn Laboratory.
If his conjecture is correct, these dedicated researchers can also successfully enhance their own strength according to Neville’s research ideas.
Just like Neville, he not only relied on this gift, but also successfully cured the sequelae of the forgetfulness spell on his body through magic particles.
He also made his victory soar like a rocket.
Of course, he still couldn’t compare with Grete, but among the students of the same grade, he was now a well-deserved leader.
This also made the Dawn Club successfully stir up waves in Hogwarts again.
He even received many letters of request from parents, who wanted their children to become a member of the Dawn established by Grete.
In order to achieve this goal, many people became friendly people of Dawn without asking for permission.
In half a month, Dawn received a lot of action funds donated by families.
In many places, Dawn’s actions were much smoother than those in the past.
Wherever Dawn went, their action personnel would be warmly entertained, both openly and secretly.
For this kind of goodwill, neither Grete nor Dawn would refuse it, because they wanted to unite all the forces that could be united.
But when entering Dawn, Grete couldn’t agree. After all, when Dawn was first established, the belief it adhered to was that everything should be aligned with talent.
Dawn is responsible for the future of the wizarding world, and they have to tackle problems that Dawn cannot solve.
The talents of those wizards who were eliminated were not enough to support their research in Dawn.
After all, everyone here, including Seamus, can more or less sense the existence of magic particles.
Yes, after a long period of research, relying on Grete to surround Seamus with magic particles without sleep.
Seamus can also vaguely sense the existence of magic particles.
However, it is obvious that his property of exploding is not closely related to the magic particles that Grete has observed now.
However, Seamus said that when he cast a spell, he vaguely sensed that something strange flowed into his wand, which caused his spell to go out of control and explode.
Grete is very curious about this statement.
Just like the research of Muggles on the microscopic world, as the observation conditions are sufficient, they have also observed molecules, ions, atoms, neutrons, protons step by step…
He can’t say that Seamus’s feeling is wrong. Grete can only express doubts now. Perhaps, there are even smaller things behind the magic particles, but he can’t observe them now.
But if he wants to improve his silver pupil, he can’t do without his lovely patronus.
God knows what happened, his patronus has not been able to be summoned until now.
After using the Patronus spell, it has always been a ball of silver mist, which looks thicker than the previous few months.
In desperation, Grete had to ask Seamus to sense the existence that caused his spell to explode more when casting the spell.
What he has to deal with now is still the Dawn Research Institute.
The research institute that got all of Neville’s experimental records, but their progress has not made any progress.
It’s even worse than the results they got through the careful induction of magic a few days ago.
In desperation, Grete had to take Neville to the Dawn headquarters during the weekend.
There is no way, now only Neville can “hear” the words of those plants.
Grete doesn’t have this talent, so he needs Neville to demonstrate his operation to these researchers.
That’s how Grete finally saw Neville’s entire research process.
In the huge laboratory, Neville stood among a field of seeds, silently casting the spell of quick growth.
After the seeds sprouted, he closed his eyes, pricked up his ears, and listened carefully.
But in Grete’s vision, no matter which petri dish the seeds were in, the magic particles surrounding them did not change significantly.
Until Neville opened his eyes and started to work.
From the moment the pollen of the early-maturing small-leaved grass came into contact with the flowering fruit spikes, the magic particles that originally existed in the air suddenly became agitated, passing through Neville’s body and surrounding the entire plant.
Remove the mature fruit spikes and replant them, and then Grete saw the plant that made Neville faint last time again.
The familiar wave of particles formed a tornado, pouring into Neville’s body like crazy.
He seemed to have adapted, shivered and stood up again.
Then he stood aside with his hands folded.
Looking at the researchers of Dawn again, a group of people looked at each other in bewilderment.
How can this be learned?
It’s obviously the same growth spell, why do his seeds mature so quickly?
Under Grete’s gaze, the researcher of the Dawn Agricultural Science Laboratory came forward.
“Mr. Longbottom, is the growth spell you used a new spell that you improved?”
“No, it’s just an ordinary growth spell. I just follow their instructions and supply them with the magic power they need at different time periods, so they can grow quickly.”
Now, Grete didn’t know what to say. Neville’s words were very simple, so just listen.
Holding her chin, Grete thought of Luna, the ‘crazy girl’ who could vaguely see magic particles just by getting close to observe a few times.
So, is this talent?
