Chapter 238 The Future of the Magical World
"So, you want me to set up a new organization that can replace the Ministry of Magic to manage the world's witches... er, wizards?"
Dumbledore looked puzzled. "Don't you think it's a bit too much? The Ministry of Magic has been performing well recently. I have no reason to bypass them and make such a big move. I have tried to establish a new structure so blatantly. Someone did this in the past, and it didn't end well for him."
Du Mu chuckled and shook his head: "The Ministry of Magic has been doing well recently? They discovered Tom's escape a long time ago, but because Tom has not appeared in this world since then, they simply ignored it. In your eyes, this is considered a good performance?"
Dumbledore was speechless.
Others may not know about Tom's prison break, but you don't know?
However, in this matter, Dumbledore is also an accomplice. There are portraits of other headmasters in the headmaster's office. It is a small public place and it is not appropriate to discuss this topic.
To be honest, Dumbledore now feels a little regretful.
At the beginning, he agreed to let Du Mu teach the young wizards magic just because he wanted to leave a seed, a bad system that could get rid of the dark magic and allow the wizards to have actual combat effectiveness when facing Muggles.
But when he considered these things, his essence was still: believe in the wisdom of future generations.
In the wizarding world, which was originally only able to use non-lethal magic, a group that could kill and fight at no cost was directly inserted. In fact, it meant almost the same thing to wizards to humans.
This is fundamentally the source of chaos.
But chaos also creates opportunities. Dumbledore has no doubt that the magic power that Du Mu has injected into the entire wizarding world will create a brilliant new era, and he is looking forward to it very much.
But Dumbledore was not looking forward to participating in this new era... it was too complicated and too tiring for an old man.
Sowing a handful of seeds and waiting for the crops to grow by themselves through wind and rain is a different concept from sowing a handful of seeds and working hard to take care of the crops.
As a result, no matter what, no one expected that Du Mu could directly rejuvenate him.
There is really no hope of retirement now.
Dumbledore still remembered that when Du Mu had just defeated Voldemort, he was thinking that it was finally time for him to retire and had already started to give up.
I didn’t realize that it wasn’t retirement, it was just a short break before a year-round work-a-year future.
This is bad luck.
Dumbledore sighed and said, "Fortunately, you didn't touch my brain cells. This not only prevents me from doubting whether I am another person created by you, but also tells me that I still have the opportunity to retire again in the future."
This is simply a complaint.
Du Mu just pretended not to hear it, and those who are capable should do more work.
Du Mu saved dozens of civilizations not long ago. It is easy enough for you, Dumbledore, to manage only one planet.
Seeing that he couldn't shirk his responsibility, Dumbledore could only sigh deliberately again and had to shoulder the heavy burden of the future of the wizarding world once again.
"Okay, okay, I hope I won't be called the Dark Lord... Well, I also hope that the development speed of mankind can be a little slower, and discover the existence of the wizarding world later."
Du Mu also offered his own advice: "If you really don't want war to happen, it's better to plan ahead."
"Modern humans' ability to accept supernatural things is unprecedentedly high. In addition, mental power can be integrated into the system of the other four basic forces, making magic a direct application of mental power technology, just like modern electrical appliances."
"In the next ten years, wizards will reveal their existence to the world, which will be the most acceptable period. I can give you a spoiler about the future: in the future, people will become anti-intellectual and closed again. Once the wizarding world is exposed, it will easily become an argument for various anti-intellectualism to prove their stupid worldview."
Dumbledore heard this and began to think.
Indeed, mental power is also a part of the basic material that constitutes this world, but Muggles do not have the corresponding organs to access the existence of mental power.
Human beings today are probably not as stupid and crazy as they were during the witch hunts. This is the time when the two worlds are beginning to slowly merge.
As long as this matter can be settled smoothly, the biggest stone weighing on Dumbledore's heart can be put down lightly.
This is how things are. When you don’t want to do it or don’t know where to start, you become extremely resistant and lazy.
Once you start investing your energy and thinking about it, and have a starting point, you will have motivation and energy.
Dumbledore finally felt the vitality stimulated by his young body again, and his spirits became high again.
Allowing wizards to reintegrate into human society is such a feat. Dumbledore's future status in history will probably not be lower than Merlin's.
Of course, the premise of all this is the integration of the two sides, not based on war.
Otherwise, Dumbledore would probably become the Dark Lord of the wizarding world and Hitler of the Muggle world, and would be nailed to the pillar of shame and infamy forever.
"I understand." Dumbledore nodded calmly to Du Mu.
Now that he had decided to take on the responsibility, Dumbledore once again demonstrated his composure as the headmaster of Hogwarts.
Du Mu nodded slightly, and finally added: "Also, the magic power of wizards basically comes from the magical bloodline of their ancestors. This bloodline is bound to become more and more diluted, and the number of people in the magic world is still too small."
"So if we really want to promote magic, we need to integrate with Muggles, thoroughly and comprehensively intermarry with Muggles, and spread the bloodlines and genes of magical creatures. This is the only way to ensure the continuation of the wizarding world."
Du Mu said this and looked out the window.
His gaze can penetrate all matter and distance, including lead that blocks Kryptonian vision and the protective magic of wizards.
The entire planet no longer has any secrets for Du Mu now.
But because of this, most of the secrets lost their meaning to Du Mu. Even if he could see them, he would not take them to heart.
"This should be the unique development direction of this world...One day in the future, perhaps all human beings will have the talent to use magic."
"By then, the technology based on the development of spiritual power should also be advancing with each passing day. Even a Squib who cannot control magic power will be able to use 'electrical appliances' like an ordinary person who does not understand science."
“I look forward to that day and what changes it will bring to the world.”
Du Mu said, looking at Dumbledore again and said with a smile: "Then thank you for taking care of this civilization, Dumbledore."
As he spoke, Dumbledore felt the magic power in his body begin to surge.
Almost in the blink of an eye, it expanded to more than ten times its original size. But at the same time, his Dantian, where his mana was stored, felt no pressure at all, as if the space had also expanded more than ten times.
Dumbledore looked at Du Mu in surprise.
If controlling the electromagnetic interaction between atoms to reshape human molecules and cells is concerned, this is beyond Dumbledore's understanding and is almost like looking up to God.
Dumbledore was even more amazed when he could understand this top-level technology that directly gave others power and yet allowed them to bear it easily.
It can be said that if Du Mu and Dumbledore were not familiar with each other, and if Du Mu's strength had not been continuously strengthened under Dumbledore's witness, Dumbledore would have worshipped him. Fortunately, the two were very familiar with each other and could be considered good friends, so Dumbledore's inner shock did not turn into mindless worship.
After determining the future course of action, Dumbledore temporarily stopped thinking about the affairs of the wizarding world. Instead, he sat down and discussed with Du Mu, truly treating him as a senior and teacher on the road, and constantly asked him questions.
These questions were all the confusions of the greatest white wizard in the history of the wizarding world. In the past, he had no one to ask for advice, and could not even discuss them, because few people could understand Dumbledore's questions.
But today, facing Du Mu, whose knowledge has gradually improved, all of Dumbledore's doubts are analyzed and resolved one by one with extreme clarity in front of Du Mu, just like a butcher cutting up an ox.
This is a dimensionality reduction attack at the cognitive level. Magic seems to be all-encompassing, covering different systems and all aspects of knowledge. But for Du Mu, it is not even an independent classification subject, but just an application-based sub-field under spiritual power.
Many of the questions that had troubled Dumbledore for countless years suddenly became clear to him once Du Mu told him the questions from a different perspective, almost before he finished describing them.
This feeling of constantly expanding vision is like a creature without eyes slowly evolving the ability to sense changes in light. The way of looking at the world has evolved and changed in leaps and bounds, like the pleasure of passing through the fog and touching the real world.
"Looking back, I feel today that the application of magic in the wizarding world is so primitive."
Dumbledore couldn't help but sigh: "Muggles have only mastered a little bit of the application of basic mechanics and electromagnetism, and have expanded to such a complex technological crystallization, while the magic used by wizards is still antiques from hundreds of years ago, and they have never thought about the underlying logic of magic."
When Dumbledore said that magic was primitive, he did not mean that it was not sophisticated or useful enough.
Rather, magic is like the countless crafts that are gradually disappearing and on the verge of being lost after Muggles entered the industrial age.
No matter how sophisticated or powerful a person's techniques are, the impact they produce is limited.
Even products that everyone needs, such as brooms and wands, are essentially made by hand one by one. It is only because there are not many people in the wizarding world that the production can keep up.
The shackles of the wizarding world are indeed its population.
The smaller the population, the more powerful magic can be. Its impact on individuals is indeed something that modern technology cannot match.
However, the larger the population, the more 'useless' magic becomes.
It is even difficult to increase the value of food on a large scale. Even if a wizard can make one acre of land produce the same amount of food as ten acres, what about a million acres of land? What about tens of millions of acres of land?
It is still the most cost-effective to use chemical fertilizers.
Therefore, it makes sense for the wizarding world to be closed off. If they really integrate into human society, they will probably only be subject to various restrictions and constraints, forcing them to use magic as little as possible to influence others, rather than suddenly increasing the productivity of Muggles and gaining status.
The most important thing is that using magic consumes the user's physical strength.
The earliest matchlock guns were completely inferior to bows and arrows in terms of hit rate, stability, and safety.
But why did the matchlock almost completely replace the crossbowmen once it was invented, only to develop into the flintlock, which was still unreliable?
The biggest reason is that the energy of gunpowder replaces human physical energy for output.
Human physical strength is always limited, but the power of nature is infinite.
Before magic developed to the point where it could harness the power of nature and liberate human physical strength, even if it could easily defeat humans with guns in a single combat, it was still primitive.
"If we want to develop, we need to analyze and understand magic more deeply, so that magic can have more universal value and become a part of human society."
Dumbledore took a deep breath. He didn't expect that when he asked Du Mu questions, he ended up asking about his future responsibilities.
But the conversation with Du Mu also gave him a specific direction for future development.
After getting rid of confusion, people's spirit will be different, and they will become particularly high-spirited and motivated.
What's more, Dumbledore has a younger body.
"Let's stop here for today. I'm going to go see Harry."
As Du Mu spoke, he stood up. Dumbledore also quickly stood up and followed Du Mu.
The two of them left the principal's office chatting and laughing.
In the portrait, the principals of all generations finally stopped pretending to be asleep, raised their heads and looked at each other in surprise.
But no one spoke, and a long silence fell in the principal's office.
"If only I were still alive..."
Finally, a principal sighed.
"There are a lot of things in their conversation just now, which also answered the confusion I had before I died... But unfortunately, I am already dead, otherwise I would definitely be ecstatic to devote myself to application and research."
"That kind of thing doesn't matter."
The other principal, who looked a little thin, found it difficult to calm down his shock for a long time.
"Didn't you hear it? A new era is coming."
"That is a future that neither wizards nor Muggles have ever imagined..."
"That's great. I envy the young people of this era. It's a pity that they themselves are probably ignorant of everything."
"Ugh……"
Suddenly, the only sounds in the principal's office were the sighs of former principals.
When Du Mu and Dumbledore were walking through the corridor, they ran into Severus Snape who had just finished class.
Snape had a blank expression on his face at first, and after noticing Du Mu, he didn't say much. After all, the two were not familiar with each other.
But after seeing Dumbledore's appearance, Snape suddenly showed an unprecedented look of astonishment.
"Headmaster Dumbledore?"
Snape asked in a surprised voice. This was the first time he showed such a surprised expression since he became the school's Potions professor.
Dumbledore coughed lightly and smiled at Snape, "Recently... I have been studying magic and have made some progress."
However, these words made Snape even more shocked.
In other words...it's not some kind of trick like polyjuice potion?
But Professor Dumbledore really, regained his youth? !
