Chapter 308 The Real Grand Plan

"Dark magic? What a good reason."

Grindelwald snorted and brushed the dust off his palm onto the nightstand, pulled up a stool to sit beside the two, nodded with his arms, and said ironically.

"Yes, any spell that seems a bit dangerous, or that cannot be restored in a short time, and magic that cannot be untangled, everything is labeled as dark magic, and then locked away in the dust of history, truly a convenient and quick way to deal. I finally understand why the strength of the magical world has become increasingly mediocre over the years."

As the first Dark Lord, Grindelwald is no stranger to this approach.

After all, the Demstrand School of Witchcraft, which he once attended, was known for studying dark magic, and the reason he was expelled from the school was also because he delved too deeply into this path and caused too much uproar, so much so that the school had to respond; indeed, he learned a little in those days, and most of the spells he researched were included in the category of dark magic.

"Albus, why did you cast your spell so easily? I don't mean to belittle you, but the 'taboo of dark magic' that can embarrass this boy 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 implicitly asked with concern about the true cause of Elena's fainting: the magic in the body of this little mixed-race meiwa is not weak, he is a normal wizard at the age of sixteen or seventeen.

"Knowledge, experience, and magic."

Dumbledore smiled slightly, put his fingers on his knees, and replied calmly:

"Perhaps you should go to see more literature on ancient alchemy in my room. Detect, understand, separate... This is the basic way in which wizards studied the magic of alchemy and shape-shifting long ago. Therefore, this spell was named the Curse Solution."

As he spoke, Dumbledore's fingers spun in the dust and traced a circle converging inward.

"It's like a wonderful loop: the more deeply 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 finding and obtaining results will be."

"The power of knowledge, but this is neither scientific nor magical... well, this is quite philosophical."

Elena couldn't help whispering, and she pursed her lips with excitement.

Magic, or occultism, has always been complementary to science. This is an undeniable historical source even in the modern scientific community. In fact, the term "science" really appeared around the 18th century, the period in which the magical world and the non-magical world officially separated.

Before this, people had a unified name for studying the behavior of the natural world and the laws of the universe: "Natural Philosophy". The so-called doctorate really comes from the meaning of doctor of natural philosophy in Latin.

For example, Newton's masterpiece is called "Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy," not "Mathematical Scientific Principles."

In Elena's view, natural philosophy is like a blend of science and magic, trying to find a balance in explaining the world in two dimensions, and Dumbledore's demonstration of science and magic undoubtedly proves that she has always been a guess.

There is no doubt that human exploration of the world will not change because of its magic.

"Your behavior just now was very reckless and dangerous, you know?"

Dumbledore's blue eyes silently looked at Elena through half-moon glasses, he said firmly.

The reason the Ministry of Magic established the Unbinding Spell as dark magic is not just because of the destructive power it can produce. It is more of unsupervised private practice, which is too dangerous for the wizard. Before trying this kind of magic, you have to complete quite a bit of learning and memorization in books and manuals.

"Well, I know."

Elena's small and tousled hair shook languidly, with the feeling that she could only obediently listen to the training.

For Elena, Albus Dumbledore's words were not difficult to understand.

It is undeniable that magic is a very convenient existence. Most of the time, it is only necessary to clearly determine the result. A path to reach the final goal can be found through some marvelous mechanism through the intermediate process, but it's like a long leap, like crossing a wormhole. The length of the void in the middle of the process determines to some extent the difficulty of magical achievement.

"Exploring the origin of deformed matter is not your duty or a necessity. No wizard can complete the cornerstones of alchemy, not even Nick Lemay and Paracelsus... well, not that you... even if they were, they couldn't do it."

Dumbledore looked slightly disgusted at the old wizard sitting on the stool next to him, paused, and continued to look at Elena with a smile.

"I think you should understand what you lack and what you need to learn. If you are truly interested, I would be happy to provide you with some help..."

In the long history, countless outstanding wizards who have studied alchemy have accumulated a very rich record.

Casting a log with a disassociation spell will produce a large amount of graphite, a small amount of diamonds, and it can also cause flames and explosions, this is the knowledge recorded in "Basic Alchemy."

Undoubtedly, in Dumbledore's opinion, the reason Elena fainted was simple: she took the liberty of analyzing the source of the coincidences. Although she was fortunate to obtain the results of magical feedback, she temporarily lost her strength due to excessive consumption.

"Um, yes."

Elena nodded consciously and sat up straight in Dumbledore's admiring smile.

For a long time, Elena has taken pride in her prophetic status as a prophet. Only now did she soberly realize that, when looking at the long history, she was too young.

You should know that the technological level of the previous life barely touched the edge of light nuclear fusion.

The supposed re-fusion is just a scientific hypothesis and the goal obtained by observing the activities of the stars. We hope to rely on the magical shortcut to complete the 26-step fusion trajectory from hydrogen to iron in one breath. It's too ambitious.

"My personal strength alone is too stubborn and arrogant. We need a team, or more than one team, to analyze and study all of this, and complete the most basic theoretical prefiguration - oh God, why didn't I think of this?"

Elena slapped her palm forcefully, licking her lips enthusiastically, her eyes shining brightly.

With the sudden fall of the bear, the most precious wealth left in this world is not just the cold looting value of those monetary figures.

People, especially those high-level geniuses, are the most precious treasures left from the bears in this world.

The confused dream she had just had gave her the most important clue: now, a group of the world's top nuclear physicists, mathematicians, and chemists are about to face unemployment.

But fortunately, only she and Dumbledore saw this in advance.

"Professor Dumbledore, thank you for your help and advice, I understand!"

Elena said with a firm fist, her body overflowing with power for a moment.

"There are still three months, enough time to prepare all the human and financial resources, and the pre-design to attract the top scientific researchers; there is no doubt that, whether in economic terms or material conditions, we can compare with any non-magical country generously, not to mention that there should be a few olive branches from the magical world, who can refuse them?"

"Very well, I will prepare something about alchemy later..."

Dumbledore smiled and was about to continue according to his previous logic. Suddenly, he snapped his fingers and looked blankly at the white mop of hair that suddenly fell into a state of excitement on her face, in his impression, this look was once after she mortgaged Hogwarts.

The old man looked at the excitement and began to explain Elena's new plan, with trembling lips.

"...?"

"It turns out that the Gu Ling Pavilion is just a part of this, the purpose is to make the magical world step back a bit. It's Albus. Your attempt to merge the two worlds, really unexpected?, but in line with your personality. If I had the courage you had at that time, maybe we would have succeeded."

Grindelwald's expression passed over his face, hitting his thigh, and said with admiration.

After so many years, the social conditions of the non-magical world and the magical world have changed dramatically compared to decades ago. Both the destructive power and the social structure have taken several steps forward.

Before this, Grindelwald had been worried that the magical world would one day extinguish, and that the wizards lurking in the shadows would someday be like mice in the trenches, and for some reason, they would be exposed to the non-magical world's view, and then go through a war with slim chances of victory; magic would not die, but the magical world could disappear.

"Calm down, my old friends will also fully participate in this plan. After so many years, it's time for everyone to be active... while we can still use our wands to play with the dying fire."

Grindelwald smiled, every wrinkle on his face showed a joyful look, and his tone was filled with eagerness to try it.

Dumbledore blinked, his expression slightly rigid, and instinctively turned his head to look at Grindelwald.

"?

These two people, in the end...

"It makes sense that when necessary, a certain amount of strength is required as support."

Elena nodded seriously and touched her deflated belly. "Let's go to the kitchen to get some food. Let me do it, and then we can talk while we eat?"

"Albus ~ ~ Don't be stunned, there's nothing to be ashamed of. This kid cooks very well."

Grindelwald patted Dumbledore's shoulder and interrupted the old man's disorganized language. He smiled and said, "Come on, I don't know how to get to the Hogwarts kitchen..."
