Hogwarts: Wizards of Eternity.

Chapter 146: Don’t take meaningless actions

"You're not coming back today?"

"Well, I'm still staying at Mr. Ollivander's place today." Hermione said into the phone in a brisk tone.

Outside Diagon Alley, Hermione was talking to her parents as usual today.

The existence of dimensional magic, the connection of all things, has a great influence on Hermione. In order to seek the "answer", she has watched and felt the hearts of too many people.

Now she has lost some of her childishness and understands what she really wants.

At the same time, she also understood how precious and rare this experience was for her.

Seeing history slowly turning a new chapter before her eyes, she did not want to miss this opportunity.

"...Okay." Hermione's father was a little worried about his daughter staying overnight outside at first.

But when he went to Ollivander's wand shop in person and witnessed everything, he understood his daughter's choice.

He agreed to Hermione's request, but he required his daughter to call him every day to report her safety.

Not that I have anything against Roger and Ollivander.

He and his wife are both Muggles, but their daughter is a wizard. Their daughter is not around for nearly nine months every year, and they can't just pretend nothing happened.

Although they didn't understand anything about magic, they could still understand their daughter's History of Magic textbook and wizarding newspapers.

Hermione's parents tried to understand the wizarding world, and they knew that the study of magic was a very dangerous thing.

Although Roger was mainly responsible for the research on magic, and they respected their daughter's choice, they still felt at ease when they heard the news of safety every day.

"School starts tomorrow. Do you want me to pick you up?"

Of course, there was another very important reason, which was that when Hermione contacted me, it was only a few days before school started.

By then Hermione will be going to school and will naturally stay away from the front line.

"No, Roger said he would take me there," Hermione replied.

After that, Hermione chatted with her father for a while, then hung up the phone and left the telephone booth on the street.

.

After nearly a year of getting along, Hermione and Roger have become quite familiar with each other.

But the familiarity between the two is only in terms of personality.

Hermione has always had only a vague understanding of Roger's magical research.

The more advanced contents of the three-dimensional method were beyond her ability to access at present, and Roger only taught her some more introductory things.

This was the first time Hermione had seen up close how Roger conducted magical research and development.

After a few days of observation, Hermione discovered a problem.

"School starts tomorrow, and it looks like your new wand is still a long way from being finished."

Back to Diagon Alley, Ollivander's Wand Shop.

The light of the setting sun shines into the densely packed wand boxes, stacked up in a somewhat crowded room.

And now, in this place where the available space is already narrow, a large number of wands are suspended in the air. They are all Roger and Ollivander's prototypes.

A failed trial.

"Isn't this normal?" Roger didn't look back, his eyes scanning the thousands of wands in the air.

“Every progress, even the smallest one, is not easy.”

"Not to mention it's a wand that incorporates the second magic power, made from scratch."

Roger raised his hand and took down a magic wand from mid-air. A flash of magical light passed by. No one knew what Roger did, but he only saw the magic wand fading and disappearing, as if the 'layer' was erased by someone.

Then, an illusion of a bright moon rising over the sea burst out from the core of the staff.

Roger continued, his fingertips passing through the three-dimensional illusion, "According to the worst possible estimate, I might even have to spend a whole year until the next summer vacation to complete it."

"Of course, if everything goes incredibly smoothly, it might only take a month or two." Hermione, who was already suspicious of Roger's behavior, became even more confused after hearing what Roger said.

Fortunately, Hermione didn't need to worry about anything when facing Roger. She could speak frankly and talk freely about any issue.

"Roger...why did you set the goal so high at the beginning?" Hermione is also a practitioner of three-dimensional law.

Moreover, he practiced it to the point where he developed his own second magic power.

She understood very well how difficult what Roger was trying to do was.

To take an example of something she is more familiar with, it is like completing nearly 10 years of courses from junior high school, high school, and university in elementary school with excellent grades.

“Have you ever thought that maybe you don’t need to do it all at once, but rather gradually.”

Although Hermione couldn't fully understand Roger's magic experiments, she could roughly understand some trends.

She could sense that Roger's experimental progress was constantly advancing.

and……

If he just wanted to strengthen the wand to the point where it could be used 'now', Roger would have done it long ago!
Using the power of the second magic to bless the magic wand, Roger has broken through this technical level.

What Roger is doing now is to solve all future wand problems once and for all.

What he needs to do is not just to provide a simple blessing, but to link virtual reality with magic power and allow it to be completely integrated with the magic wand while having unlimited potential for growth.

This goal was set too high and too far away, so even though Roger was making progress every moment, he was still quite far away from the 'end'.

"Why would I do that?" Through the bright moon, Roger looked at Hermione with a puzzled look.

"You can completely conduct research on the magic wand you are conceiving in stages, and continuously iterate on the versions..."

Hermione's idea was simple: Roger might as well lower his goals a little bit first.

Make a finished product, and then while you have a finished product in hand, set a higher goal, and proceed step by step.

Roger also told her that he had the idea of making the three-dimensional method public.

By then, the wand issue will definitely become a 'must-have' for all wizards around the world!
At that time, Roger will be like electronic products, even if there are major technological breakthroughs, they will not be put on the market immediately.

She thought that Roger could release his results in batches.

Then you can gain both great reputation and huge profits, gaining both fame and fortune.

"You will become the weathervane of the entire wizarding world. Your every move will be sought after by countless people. With this kind of influence and appeal, you can do a lot of things."

"Uh..." Roger hesitated for a moment, and then his expression became even more puzzled.

"Does what you said mean anything to me?"

Seeing that Hermione was stunned for a moment and seemed not to understand, Roger explained again: "My goal is immortality, and because there are too many unknown factors in the outside world, if there is no special reason, I want to achieve immortality as soon as possible."

"What you said, whether it's showing off your divine power in front of others or becoming a leader of civilization, is of no help to my path to eternal life."

Roger is not opposed to stepping on the stage, nor is he opposed to guiding the direction of the world.

But there is a cause and effect relationship here.

He does this because it helps his eternal life, not because he likes to do it.

Just like when Roger showed his strength in front of the German Minister of Magic, it was to prevent his Time Phantom Spell from being affected and to prepare for his path to immortality.

And not because he thought it was funny to see Vogel's legs go limp.

Roger wouldn't put the cart before the horse.

"If I follow your pace, there is no doubt that my path to immortality will probably take longer to achieve. I have no reason to do that."

Hermione frowned. "How could that be? Once you become the center of the world, you will have the power to mobilize the entire world. Shouldn't the path to eternal life become smoother then?"

Hermione followed Roger's words and said that she knew about Roger's pursuit of immortality, but she had a different opinion on the matter.

Roger sighed softly, it seemed that she still didn't understand.

Hermione has great potential, and he hopes that Hermione can go further on the path of magic in the future, so he is willing to spend more time talking to Hermione about the ins and outs of it.

"Do you think there is such a possibility..."
