Two Worlds: I studied abroad at Hogwarts

Chapter 235 The Great Witch's Decision

Moon had read in his History of Magic class at Hogwarts that when Muggle society developed to a certain level, it would inevitably come into conflict with wizards.

This view was later confirmed by Professor Flitwick.

The professor also pointed out clearly at the time that it was the rapid development of Muggles' firearms technology that caused the wizards to fall into a disadvantage in this battle, and later they had to hide away.

Before arriving on the island, Moon already knew that the craftsmen of the Maynila Empire had invented the flintlock rifle.

Although the number of these firearms was not large, it already indicated that ordinary people had begun to have the ability to hunt wizards.

Such things have not happened on a large scale yet, but Moon believes that it will not be long before a resistance movement against wizards will inevitably break out in Muggle society.

Especially outside of Xingjin Island, there are still a large number of wizards like the Faithless, who are still unscrupulously capturing and enslaving ordinary people.

They even conducted cruel and brutal magical experiments on them.

Once these oppressed ordinary people get their hands on advanced firearms, it would be the end of the world for the unbelievers.

Moon did not plan to care about the life and death of non-believers, but if possible, he very much wanted to eliminate the conflict between wizards and ordinary people.

As the only alien magician studying abroad at Hogwarts, Moon improved more than just his magical skills there.

And it far exceeds the vision of all wizards of this era.

Moon knew that advanced technologies like musket manufacturing could not be suppressed at all.

Even if some far-sighted wizards would stop it or even destroy it, some people in power would not stop this galloping wild horse for their own selfish interests.

So Moon knew that the only thing he could do was to guide the galloping wild horse so that it would not hurt anyone.

Fortunately, the original lifestyle of the tribesmen on Xingjin Island laid a very good foundation for Moon to complete this idea.

The wizards and ordinary people here have lived in harmony for thousands of years.

The tribal wizard will take on various responsibilities such as medical care, sacrifices, education, protection, etc. for the tribe members.

Ordinary members of the tribe also have great trust in the tribal wizards, and they will consciously take on various responsibilities such as building tribal houses, hunting and gathering, and planting herbs.

Even if these experiences cannot be copied, Moon can learn from them to prevent large-scale "witch hunts" that are likely to occur in the future.

Of course, this is also Moon's purpose in adding the history of witchcraft to the curriculum of the newly established magic school.

He didn't want the magic he brought back to cultivate a group of wizards who only knew how to pursue strength but forgot how to get along with ordinary people.

After hearing Moon's suggestion, the three great wizards became quiet one by one.

Although they couldn't understand the books Moon brought back this time, looking at the illustrations on them, they knew that this must be a very powerful technology.

A car that can run automatically, a big iron bird that can fly in the sky, and an iron barrel that can automatically dive into the deep sea.
They simply couldn't imagine how ordinary people could accomplish something that even witchcraft couldn't do.

"High Priest, this is impossible. How can an ordinary person fly in the sky?"

After the Great Wizard of Starlight flipped through two pages of the popular science booklet that Moon had brought back, his hands couldn't stop shaking.

He has studied the making of magical weapons all his life, but he has never thought of sending people to heaven.

"Yeah, and these cars, if they can go so fast, what's the point of a broomstick?"

The great wizard Hai Lan also did not believe that the pictures in the book were real.

Ever since Moon brought back five flying brooms, he took advantage of his age to requisition one and would have a great time in the sky every day before coming down.

And now Moon told him that a car built by an ordinary person could be faster than a flying broom. How could he believe it?

The Spirit Tree Great Witch was the only one who remained silent. She had actually witnessed the science and technology Moon had mentioned yesterday. To increase the herb production on Xingjin Island, Moon had devised a method for making glass, hoping to build an herb greenhouse.

Yesterday evening, the Great Shaman Lingshu witnessed with his own eyes the tribesmen making glass out of sand.

"Great wizards, don't get too excited yet. These things shown in the diagram are definitely not achievable in the short term. It will take a lot of time to experiment."

Moon said this, pointing to a dozen tall piles of books nearby.

"These are just the basics. Only when we learn all the principles behind them can we create the iron bird and four-wheeled vehicle you mentioned."

"Oh, so these books, like the runes, are just the basics. To create a complex magic circle like the Great Iron Bird, it would take hundreds or even thousands of years."

Listening to the explanation of how the Great Wizard Hailan combined Muggle science and magic, Moon nodded, then shook his head.

"That's understandable, but it shouldn't take that long."

Moon bought the books from a Muggle bookshop and read them all in the Leaky Cauldron.

He learned from a Muggle history book that it took ordinary people in another world only 300 years to develop flintlock rifles and build airplanes.

It was during this period that the living space of wizards became smaller and smaller, flying brooms could not be used freely, and they even had to hide.

"Is that so? Then it seems we must prepare early."

The Great Star Wizard said this and looked at the books beside Moon with a complicated expression.

These completely incomprehensible books can bring a better life to the tribe members, but at the same time they are like a powerful bomb buried in the hands of the wizards.

If everything in these books could be realized, it would inevitably pull wizards down from their lofty position.

No one can imagine what will happen then.

"Let's build a school. I believe in our people."

After looking at the other two great wizards for a long time without saying a word, the Great Wizard Lingshu stood up with the help of a cane.

"We have lived safely for thousands of years. I don't believe these foreign objects will create a rift between the tribe and the tribal wizards."

"Yes, even if we don't control these things, those so-called empires and federations outside will inevitably develop. By then, it will be too late to find a way to deal with them."

The Great Star Wizard is the one among the three who has the most thorough research on astrological laws and rune wizard formations.

He knew very well that some things could not be prevented by witchcraft.

"Since you all say so, then I agree. However, I still don't believe that an ordinary person can defeat a wizard."

Seeing that the three great wizards had expressed their opinions, Moon breathed a sigh of relief.

He thought about this move for a long time.

Whether ordinary people initiate a witch hunt or all wizards hide in the future, this is not the result Moon wants to see.

But making such a decision will inevitably bring greater responsibilities, and with the support of three great witches, his confidence will be even greater.

"Alright, since the three great wizards all agree, let's temporarily set up an experimental school on Xingjin Island and select children from the tribe and Veteran Lane to study first."

After discussing the construction of a new school, the head of the Bailey Chamber of Commerce was brought to the Lingshu Tribe.

This was a teenager who was only fourteen or fifteen years old. When Moon saw him for the first time, he saw the image of Ryan Bailey in him.

"You are Moon Scarlett, the little wizard who ruined my plan!"
