Simulation: Starting from Under One Person

“I think it’s a good idea,” Fang Rui insisted. “Grindelwald is a very suitable candidate, and... releasing Grindelwald would be beneficial to the wizarding world.”

"The magical world is like a stagnant pool now, with no changes in decades. Based on the speed of technological development, the probability of the magical world being discovered within the next ten years or so is one hundred percent."

"Why not create a river, let the water flow again, and start looking for ways to coexist now, so we can avoid being suddenly discovered and scrambling to find a solution..."

"Speaking of which, there are some problems with the secrecy law. Who was responsible for drafting it in the first place?"

Neither Dumbledore nor Nicolas Flamel said anything about Fang Rui's words.

Having witnessed firsthand the rapid development of technology, Nicolas Flamel was acutely aware of just how fast things had changed in the last century… He truly couldn't predict what the future would hold if the current pace of progress continued…

As for Dumbledore, he was also one of those who witnessed the changes firsthand, and he was willing to believe Fang Rui's words.

After all, Grindelwald had similar concerns back then, which led to the current situation...

After a moment of silence, Dumbledore paused, then said, "Let me think..."

This is such an important matter that it must be taken seriously.

"Take your time to think about it..."

Fang Rui did not urge him on this.

He made this suggestion mainly to see if the collision of magic and technology would spark something new.

This is also to deepen the integration between the magical world and ordinary society. One-sided hiding in the future is not feasible; integration is the best approach.

Of course, it's not that we shouldn't hide it at all; it would be easier to hide it with the assistance of relevant departments.

How it will develop is truly intriguing...

With that in mind, Fang Rui left the principal's office and returned to his dormitory to study spatial magic.

Nicolas Flamel also didn't linger, and by the way...

He leaned towards Fang Rui's suggestion; the magic world was indeed quite boring these days.

He had some understanding of rapidly developing technology and had even considered combining alchemy with it...

Unfortunately, it wasn't a complete success! Sophisticated technological creations encounter all sorts of problems when faced with magic; for example, computers might crash...

The reason is that magic can interfere with the operation of electronic products.

More specifically, Nicolas Flamel did not find out, or rather, he did not research it at all.

After the two left, Dumbledore remained silent for a while, then decided to change his mood and set off to find the Horcruxes.

Voldemort had seven Horcruxes: Hufflepuff's Cup, Ravenclaw's Crown, Slytherin's Locket, Marvolo Gaunt's Ring, Tom Riddle's Diary... and Harry Potter and Nagini.

Nagini is a special case; she is a blood cursed beastman who met Tom Riddle very early on, but became a Horcrux relatively late.

According to the information provided by Fang Rui, Nagini should not yet have become Voldemort's Horcrux.

As for Marvolo Gaunt's ring, it is also somewhat special, as it is inlaid with the Resurrection Stone.

'The Resurrection Stone!'

Dumbledore closed his eyes slightly, concealing his complex emotions, and sighed softly...

Meanwhile, Voldemort is still on the run...

Voldemort wasn't comfortable unless he escaped to a safer distance.

Initially, he wanted to flee the UK, but unfortunately Quirrell was in poor health and needed to rest for a while.

After a moment's thought, Voldemort changed his plans, since Quirrell was still useful (for moving the Mirror of Erised) and couldn't be abandoned.

Therefore, he decided to find a safe place to rest for a while, make a "door key" and think about where it would be safest to go.

………………

As evening fell, news of the chaos at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry appeared in the newspapers…

The Daily Prophet described the chaos at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in an exaggerated tone, talking about what was destroyed and how many casualties were caused.

Simply put, it's "start with a picture, and make up all the content."

This is why Hogwarts' dining hall was flooded with letters and owls. The excited young wizards, seeing the mess in the dining hall, immediately lost their appetite and the desire to chat...

Almost everyone was busy writing letters to their families, explaining what had happened at school.

The remaining people, seeing the messy restaurant, lost their appetite even if they wanted to eat.

At the same time, many people were collecting relevant intelligence.

After all, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is the only magic school in the UK, and Dumbledore is the most powerful wizard of his time, whose every move can attract the attention of countless people.

Aside from those directly involved, the people most concerned about this incident are... those working in the potion industry.

Photos from the Daily Prophet indicate that Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry acquired a large quantity of magical beast and dark creature materials amidst the chaos…

Whether it's brewing potions or making alchemical items, it's all possible.

Once those materials enter the market, it will definitely cause an impact.

Even if it doesn't enter the market, you can still negotiate to buy it from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

As a result, a crowd flocked to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

Fudge and Auror, who came to investigate, were received and given an explanation by Professor McGonagall.

Professor Flitwick was responsible for receiving some of the students' parents.

As for those who came to buy materials, Professors Snape and Sprout were responsible for receiving them.

The remaining people were just bystanders and reporters who came to watch the show...

He was stopped outside the school by the Aurors from the Ministry of Magic, and was only expelled after Fudge learned what had happened...

A statement later resolved the confusion.

Dumbledore only learned of the farce after he had collected all the Horcruxes and returned to the school.

Dumbledore slowly shook his head at this, saying nothing.

He found Fang Rui and Nicolas Flamel and laid all the Horcruxes on the table, except for Harry Potter and Nagini.

"What should we do?" Dumbledore asked.

"You're really efficient!" Fang Rui praised.

Then he said, "Let's leave it here for now! We can deal with it after you find Nagini."

“Harry…” Before Dumbledore could finish speaking, Fang Rui interrupted, “Don’t worry, I can separate Harry’s and Voldemort’s souls easily.”

After all, he possessed a considerable number of skills related to the soul, and was quite proficient in them.

Even if something goes wrong during the "surgery," he has ways to fix it.

With no other reliable options, Dumbledore chose to trust Fang Rui.

No longer dwelling on the matter, Dumbledore picked out Marvolo Gaunt's ring and set it aside.

"Let's talk about this... the resurrection stone."

“I investigated…” Nicolas Flamel said, “but didn’t get much useful information!”

"Although the stories surrounding the three Holy Relics—the Elder Wand, the Invisibility Cloak, and the Resurrection Stone—are prevalent, but..."

Nicolas Flamel slowly shook his head: "Yet no one has ever had their wish fulfilled, and no related stories have been passed down..."

Dumbledore remained silent, saying nothing, his head bowed, concealing the expression in his eyes.

Fang Rui reached out, pinched the ring between his index finger and thumb, and held it up to his eyes, examining it closely for a while.

"This stone can indeed connect to the underworld, but it is incomplete."

Upon hearing Fang Rui's words, Dumbledore and Nicolas Flamel turned around one after the other, staring at Fang Rui and waiting for him to continue...

“Souls that have entered the underworld are marked, and the resurrection stone cannot sever this connection. The connection between souls that return to the mortal world and the underworld remains…”

At this point, Fang Rui paused, "Why does it feel somewhat similar to a Horcrux?"

Dumbledore and Nicolas Flamel were also somewhat surprised, but upon closer reflection, the Resurrection Stone was far more advanced than a Horcrux...

They are not similar at all!

"Do you have a way to sever the connection?" Dumbledore asked.

"We need to give it a try." Fang Rui didn't make any promises.

Without knowing the details, Fang Rui wouldn't say anything in a definitive tone.

On the other hand, Fang Rui was also somewhat interested in the underworld.

The simplest way to get to the underworld is to summon a soul and then send it back.

Fang Rui could easily find the entrance to the underworld by following the soul...

Want to give it a try?

Chapter 349 An unexpected gain

Now that we have an idea, let's put it into action...

"Is there... anyone you want to see?"

Fang Rui tossed the ring around and asked the two of them this question.

Without a doubt...

Dumbledore and Nicolas Flamel both wanted to see someone, but Fang Rui's tone was somewhat... ill-intentioned.

The two looked at each other for a moment, then said in unison, "No need!"

"Is that so..." Fang Rui's tone contained a hint of barely perceptible disappointment, then he changed his tone, "Can I find someone else to cooperate with the test?"

"Emmm..." Neither of them answered.

How to say~

This is a difficult question to answer!

"If I stop you, will you stop the testing?" Dumbledore asked.

"It shouldn't be... no." After tilting his head and thinking for a while, Fang Rui gave his answer.
