Me and countless me.

Chapter 266 The Magic World’s Only Weakness
"Oh? Don't other people read books?"

Li Ke closed the magic textbook and the notes given by the senior students with some curiosity, and looked at Furong curiously.

Furong rolled her eyes, then sat on Li Ke's bed in a familiar manner, without any intention of being polite.

"You know that the children of noble families have learned it at home. They care more about the relationships between them and the mastery of spells. They have no lack of capital to survive in the future. And those from the Muggle world..."

Furong subconsciously showed a look of contempt, but looking at Li Ke, she finally put away the contemptuous expression, crossed her legs, and told the reason why she was unhappy with those Muggle children.

"They don't know anything. Some even said they would perform magic for their old friends after they returned. However, their spellcasting abilities are not even one-tenth of yours, not to mention magic theory and other things."

Furong was really distressed. When she looked at Li Ke, there was not only desire in her eyes, but also a strange recognition.

"But you are different. Like me, you are a child without any teacher, but you are able to master most of the spells by yourself, and have begun to learn spells from other grades. Your theoretical knowledge is also very good. You know exactly what you need and what enables you to become a wizard."

Looking at the books on Li Ke's desk, Furong was very sure of this, because Li Ke was obviously thinking while reading, rather than flipping through the books casually, or treating the spell book as something interesting.

He was really serious about learning spells and magic, trying to understand the world and the wizarding society as quickly as possible.

When Li Ke heard this, he couldn't help but look at Furong twice more. Only then did he realize that the life story of this warrior of the Triwizard Tournament, who was not described much in the original book, was probably not much better than that of Harry Potter's savior.

Because this kind of experience is not something that a child who has not been beaten can understand.

Considering Fleur's mixed-race identity as a veela, she must have suffered a lot of discrimination. Maxim's concern for Fleur may be due to his empathy.

Li Ke's expression became a little strange, because he found that Aunt Rowling had reflected too many things in this. He didn't know whether he was overthinking it or Aunt Rowling really thought so.

But Furong’s problem is indeed related to racial discrimination.

Because Veela are not considered human in the magic world, and are even lower than centaurs, goblins and other creatures, they are classified as "magical creatures".

Fleur's Veela hybrid and Maxim and Hagrid's Giant hybrid are almost equivalent to the illegitimate children of black slaves before the American Civil War.

According to the law, they are not human beings, but objects and livestock.

In fact, Li Ke even felt that if it were not possible for wizards to appear among ordinary people, many wizards would not consider Muggles as human beings.

Looking at the little girl who was cautious but trying hard to put on a proud expression, Li Ke smiled and shook his head.

"Of course there's nothing wrong with that, Miss Furong. I'm very happy to be able to study with you, and you're welcome to ask me if you have any questions."

Li Ke's words were very frank. From a high vantage point, he was actually already studying the true appearance of the curse in this world. However, Furong felt that Li Ke was a little arrogant.

"Of course, but it's not certain who will ask whom, Mr. Li Ke."

Furong bowed to Li Ke, then turned her head like a proud little peacock and walked towards the library.

Li Ke naturally had no interest in competing with a kid who was only eleven years old. Instead, he smiled gently, followed Furong into the library, and started reading.

However, reading with Furong is not without benefits. Just like Luna can see incredible things as an ordinary person, Li Ke feels that the magic seen by others can also inspire himself, so he is happy to study with Furong.

The library at Beauxbatons was not as big as the one at Hogwarts, but the collection of books was not small either. The decoration style was even more gorgeous. It was much more comfortable and beautiful than the one at Hogwarts, and it was of a higher grade everywhere.

There are even free snacks and tea available.

Li Ke didn't know how to complain, but he had to admit that Beauxbatons' tea tasted really good, much better than his own tea.

"When you get home, buy some and send them home by owl."

Thinking this way, Li Ke smiled at a few senior schoolmates who passed by, then answered a few questions from Furong that he already understood, and then continued reading.

But he didn't dare to conduct magic experiments, so when he encountered some problems, Li Ke could only support his chin with his hand and start thinking in the void.

However, while looking at Furong in the library, Li Ke thought of something very counterintuitive that he only realized after he arrived.

That is, the magical world is actually very welcoming to fresh blood, and it is not like what is shown in the stories, where no one is very welcoming to newcomers.

There is even a strong welcoming attitude towards newcomers, even those mentally ill pure-blooded nobles think so.

Because for the wizarding world, outstanding male and female resources are undoubtedly rare commodities, and wizards with low abilities are also cheap labor.

After all, the French magical world is just a society the size of a small town, and the chance of meeting the right man or woman is really too low.

And if you read the original novel, you will know that if there are enough outstanding men and women in the magic world, then why are there so many mixed-blood wizards? Isn't it because it is really difficult to find the partner you want in this small group, so there is such a strange situation.

The wizarding world does not unwelcome wizards of Muggle origin, but it does not welcome Muggle wizards who are not capable, not good-looking, and whose families are not rich enough!

"Why are you looking at me like that, Mr. Li Ke?"

Furong's cheeks felt a little hot when Li Ke looked at her, but she forced herself to calm down and asked Li Ke with the same proud attitude.

"Don't you know the importance of studying hard?"

Li Ke shook his head.

"I was just thinking."

"think?"

Fleur wrinkled her cute nose and looked at the first-year Muggle children who were excitedly flipping through books.

Fleur felt a little annoyed by their lack of knowledge, and she couldn't understand why they wasted their time reading history and fairy tales after entering Beauxbatons. It was such a wonderful thing to be able to enter Beauxbatons, but they were wasting their time and opportunity like this!

This uncomfortable feeling made Furong couldn't help but clench her palms.

"I think the most important thing for us now is to study, or do you think storybooks are more interesting, Mr. Li Ke?"

Furong stabbed Li Ke subconsciously, but Li Ke still didn't care much.

Because it is a self-protection mechanism.

Fleur is isolated, just like Hermione. She is too smart, sensible, and beautiful. If such a person is willing to humble herself, she will naturally be liked. But if she wants to surpass everyone else to prove her excellence and use her excellence to give herself a sense of security.

It would be like Hermione.

Being isolated and hated.

Because their sense of security comes from their own success, from their own excellence, and from their own hard work, and the environment in which they live must be a high-pressure environment, otherwise it is impossible to cultivate the kind of character that feels that they can get everything if they are excellent.

"Sometimes being more balanced can increase your learning efficiency and make other people like you, Furong."

Li Ke tilted his head and gave a kind smile.

Even if we don't take into account the experience and knowledge of other Li Ke, he is already thirty years old and a serious adult. If he gets married earlier, his children may be the same age as Fleur and Hermione.

Just looking at Furong's unwillingness to admit defeat, Li Ke felt that it would be better to directly point out the problem in Furong's mind.

"But I understand you, Miss Fleur. After all, I guess your process of entering Beauxbatons School was not very smooth, right?"

As soon as Li Ke finished speaking, Furong's whole body stiffened, because what Li Ke said was a very cruel reality!

"You and I……"

Furong's cheeks turned pale in an instant, then flushed. She stood up from her seat abruptly, looked at Li Ke in disbelief, her body trembling slightly, and she subconsciously bit her lips.

Li Ke didn't let Furong continue speaking. Instead, he stretched out his hand, held the hand of the uneasy girl, and then slowly pulled her back to her seat.

"Because you acted too nervous and cared too much, unlike other children, Furong. You seemed to want to prove something, to this school and to other people, so I made a little guess. After all, from Madam Maxime's attitude towards you, I can see that she thinks highly of you."

Li Ke's explanation was completely an excuse for Furong, and Furong's eyes turned red at this time.

"What... did you know?"

She gritted her teeth and tried hard to say this sentence, because the reason why she cherished this opportunity so much was because, just as Li Ke said, she did suffer a great setback when she enrolled.

"A lot of things. After all, your appearance and figure are too strange...Madame Maxime is too tall, and you have a strange charm that makes people want to get close to you. But this is very abnormal, so when you think about the attitude of the magical world towards Muggles and other races, you can naturally guess a lot of things."

Li Ke calmly stated what he had observed. Of course, the reason that really made Li Ke understand the relationship between Furong and Madame Maxime was naturally the original novel.

Furong fell silent. She didn't expect that her biggest secret would be discovered not long after she entered school, and the person was a boy about her age!
Although this boy is really outstanding and one can tell he is outstanding and people are attracted to him at a glance, Furong still has an urge to run away from Li Ke!
No one likes to be completely seen through, and no one likes to have their most important weakness known to others!

"Don't worry, I haven't told anyone about this, Miss Furong. And please rest assured, Miss Furong, if you are not outstanding enough and have already been admitted, you will not be expelled even for the glory and face of the French magic world. Because this is actually a historical inevitability..."

Looking at the uneasy Furong, Jianzheng couldn't help but feel restless and explained to Furong.

"Because the wizarding world needs population, a large number of recognized population. Just like France needs to recognize illegal immigrants, the wizarding world also needs a large number of population."

When Li Ke was playing poker with those senior schoolmates, they told him something.

"We don't worry about this now, but in the future when we communicate and have children, we hope you won't just come and find them casually, because they are our family members. Of course, we will treat them as our own children. If you are willing, you can be the godfather of the child."

Li Ke was stunned by the openness of these senior schoolmates. He knew that this was the aristocratic tradition of romantic France, but he did not expect that the magic world would become even worse.

When he expressed his doubts, the senior student just smiled.

"Who cares? Who made the wizards' birth rate so low? Everyone wants to have more offspring. After all, it doesn't cost much to raise a child. If you want, you can even pay for books for the children. But unless my future husband dies, you will only be the godfather of the children. What's more, the chances of having crazy or sick children with Muggle-borns like you are much smaller."

The senior student's frankness made Li Ke speechless. This was certainly due to France's historical problems left over from World War I, but it also reflected the equally terrible population situation of these wizards.

As for the situation of the Weasley family in the UK, other magical families would be envious, right? As for crazy and sick children...

Li Ke thinks that one of the reasons is that for a long time wizards have been marrying close relatives, which has led to genetic defects. It is strange that the family can still prosper in this way.

There are many crazy people in the magic world for the same reason. Of course, magic itself can affect people's mind and body. Children with magic who are depressed and in a bad mood can really become incredible magical monsters!
And before the Ministry of Magic officially appeared, did a wizard need the consent of a Muggle to sleep with a beautiful woman? Why bother looking for someone who has magic like himself and can resist?

Therefore, in this situation, if we still engage in bloodline discrimination and purify half-bloods, within a few years not many people in the wizarding world will want to get married. It will also be a big problem how many people are willing to have children and admit that they are wizards.

So Voldemort and the like are lame!

"Since we Muggle-born wizards can be accepted, let alone half-blood wizards. Fleur, do you think that in the eyes of wizards, Muggles are also considered human beings?"

Li Ke's question left Furong speechless, because even Furong, in her subconscious -

Nor do they regard ordinary humans as the same as themselves!
