Hogwarts: Wizards of Eternity.

Chapter 161 Even if we are on different paths, we are still friends
Under the moonlight, Roger and Luna looked at each other.

To Luna, Roger was a very remarkable and interesting person who knew a lot of things that other people didn't.

But she always felt that Roger was very far away from her.

Even though he was standing in front of her at this moment.

Maybe if I follow Roger's arrangements, I will become closer to Roger.

But ah.

Was I still myself at that time?

Luna has a good impression of Roger, but their friendship is obviously not to the point where Luna would distort herself to get close to him.

That's why Luna asked this question.

But to Roger, Luna means something else.

The position that Roger prepared for her was to be a helper who would assist him on his path to immortality.

If Luna is unwilling to take this position, then Roger's answer can only be: "I regret this."

Although he said this, Roger did not look disappointed at all. After he finished speaking, he stretched out his hand and grabbed the air, turning a ball of air into a book.

He smiled and handed the book to Luna.

"I'm sorry that we won't be able to travel together for some time, but I think that no matter what path you choose at this moment, we will eventually end up in the same place."

"What is this?" Luna asked in confusion as she took the thick book with no words on the cover.

"Here are the original manuscripts that are older than the one I revised myself and the one that Headmaster Dumbledore and I worked on together," Roger replied.

That is the nearly 200 million words of notes that Roger initially wrote by hand after spending several hours thinking and revising it.

“I don’t dislike people who insist on being themselves.”

"I always believe that only those with the strongest beliefs can go further on the path of magic."

"No, not just the path of magic, but all paths in life require faith to pave the way forward."

"So I'm giving it to you."

As he spoke, Roger tapped the notebook lightly in the air, casting a magic similar to the Fidelius Charm, making the book visible only to Luna.

"This is not the Three-Dimensional Method that is more inclined to magical means, but the most original, uncontaminated Theory of Three-Dimensionalization. There is no trace of Dumbledore in it."

"Even the traces of materialism leaning towards magic are not that strong."

"It's not as powerful as the version of the three-dimensional method that Dumbledore and I perfected together, but it is a 'blank slate' so to speak."

“You can turn your thoughts into ink and paint as you like.”

Roger's original idea was to gradually bring La Luna into his circle and make her a part of his plan.

But I didn't expect Luna to be so sensitive. She noticed it as soon as I started.

Of course, Roger has dozens or even hundreds of ways to smooth over this and continue his inducement.

But Roger thought that was quite boring, just like what parents would say during Chinese New Year: "I'll help you keep your lucky money."

Roger disdains to do such self-deceiving things.

So he just opened up and said everything.

Roger showed his sincerity, and Luna responded to Roger's sincerity.

Being rejected was something Roger had expected, but Luna's question gave him new ideas.

"I look forward to your future and hope that you will live an interesting life as you said before." Roger is never stingy with regard to truly talented people.

Roger looks forward to her bringing a unique new possibility to the three-dimensional method.

With Luna's precocity, it was impossible for her not to understand the meaning of her invitation.

This is like a head of state asking you to be a provincial governor, but you flatly refuse, saying you want to start your own business.

Since Luna is so determined to take another path, Roger's choice is naturally... to place a bet!
The three-dimensional method, which is developing in the direction of idealism, is not without help to Roger's growth.

Rather, this benefit may take a very long time, even hundreds or thousands of years, to manifest itself.

It was only after Roger had grown to a rather terrifying degree on the path of materialism that he began to delve deeper into this field.

Therefore, Roger will not let Luna and Dumbledore's paths become the mainstream of the current world's supernatural system.

But Roger doesn't mind training some people who really have special talents in these areas as future reserve talents.

Just as Roger said to Professor McGonagall at the beginning, "sow seeds in the upper reaches of the timeline and harvest them in the lower reaches of the timeline." This is what Roger has been doing all along.

Real talent can never be used in only one place. She doesn't want to do this job, and Roger has plenty of other positions suitable for her!

"..." Luna held Roger's book in her hands, speechless for a long time.

"Okay, it's getting late. Curfew will be here soon. You should go back and get some rest. Good night." They had almost finished talking, so Roger planned to leave.

Although I didn't get an assistant this time, it's not a loss either.

I just don’t know when this seed will grow strong and bear full fruit.

I'm afraid it will take a long time.

“…Roger!”

Looking at Roger's receding back, Luna called him.

Roger turned around and looked at Luna who was approaching him quickly: "Hmm?"

"There is no such thing as a common destination." Luna Lovegood's ethereal silver eyes seemed to have a different color at this moment.

"My magic, your magic, Headmaster Dumbledore's magic, the professors' magic, everyone's magic, even every Muggle's technology, whether it's idealism or materialism, they are just different in appearance." "Everyone in this world has never had 'different paths', we have all been walking on the same road from beginning to end."

“It gets better!”

The only difference is everyone’s understanding of “better”.

"If you put it that way... Roger, we have always been on the same path, even though our magic is different."

"I want to know what the harassment fly is. Would you like to explore with me?"

The smile Luna showed was genuine and gentle.

To Luna, magic is just magic, a part of life, not everything.

Luna was unwilling to distort her will for the sake of magic.

I also don't want to drift away from an interesting person like Roger because of magic.

She still wanted to be friends with Roger.

"Wait a few days, I'll come to see you on the weekend." Roger did not refuse.

Roger was somewhat curious about this creature, which was the only one Luna among the people he knew who could see it and which led to the birth of the Demon of Fear.

But his schedule these days is really tight.

Roger still has a lot of preparation to do, and he hasn't started yet.

"Is this what you call a 'phase membrane'?"

Nicolas Flamel frowned and glanced around.

Even with his magical abilities, it was difficult for him to sense anything unusual.

"It's normal that you can't sense it. On the one hand, human perception is limited, and I also cast a magic to cover my senses."

As he spoke, Roger adjusted the size of the semi-finished illusionary realm, or the 'phase membrane'.

Because the inspiration comes from the phases used by the demon in "A Certain Magical Index" to manipulate everything in the universe.

So Roger simply named it 'phase film'.

On the third day of school, Roger finally had time to get this thing started.

Roger has done experiments and found that with his current strength, it is impossible to expand it to the "planet" level.

Even covering Britain seems a bit difficult.

If it does not affect his own movements and normal spellcasting, Roger can only expand it to around London.

That’s enough.

When Roger's phase membrane was completely stable, he unfolded the virtual reality in the form of a projection, just like the experiments in the wand shop.

Afterwards, the Wand Master Ollivander appeared in the Room of Requirement in Hogwarts Castle.

The Dream Shadow Ritual also requires the caster to be asleep, which is sometimes a bit inconvenient, but virtual reality technology is different.

With the phase film acting as the carrier of signal transmission, both parties can achieve real-time communication.

Unfortunately, Roger still hasn't overcome the technical barrier of simultaneously carrying out projection and accelerated thinking.

Otherwise, he might be able to replicate the "one day in heaven, one year on earth" in various mythological stories in this magical world.

"This is..." Ollivander was not surprised that Roger was communicating with him. This was something they had agreed on beforehand.

But when he looked at the little boy beside Roger, his face was full of confusion.

Roger should be in Hogwarts now, right?
This child is obviously not old enough to enter Hogwarts.

At this moment, Ollivander even thought of ridiculous things like "alchemical androids".

"Let me introduce you, this is Mr. Nicolas Flamel." Roger introduced.

"...Ah?" Ollivander glanced at the little kid with red lips and white teeth.

He glanced at Roger again.

His face was full of a 'are you kidding me' expression.

"It's magic."

"It was Headmaster Dumbledore who used the power of magic to turn Mr. Nicolas Flamel into this state." Roger did not keep the mystery in suspense, but spoke frankly and revealed the answer.

Since Nicolas Flamel had said before that he was willing to help him, Roger would naturally not let go of this heavyweight master in the development of his new wand!
Although the alchemy and magic wands were separated by a row, they were not too far apart.

Like civil engineering and materials science.

Although they are two different disciplines, there are many intersections between them.

Like Muggle technology, the various branches of wizarding magic are inextricably linked.

Roger believed that with the addition of Nicolas Flamel, the speed of developing his new magic wand would definitely be increased!

Will it delay other things Nicolas Flamel wants to do?
After reaching an agreement with him, Roger directly opened the maximum speed of virtual reality thinking acceleration to Nicolas Flamel!

His thinking speed is now more than ten times faster than before!
This extra time is enough for him to handle various things.
