Hogwarts: This holy light is righteously evil

When he had nothing to do on weekdays, Puni would always take out this list and look at it as a way to pass the time. Looking at the absurd and helpless experiences on it, he would occasionally chuckle.

But after laughing, Puni felt a deep sense of awe.

Behind this list lies a curse left by the Dark Lord, and the duration and potency of this curse far exceed his comprehension.

Having read so many books over the years, Puni believes that ordinary curses either have a limited duration or their power gradually weakens over time. It is difficult to find a curse that can span decades and still accurately affect every person in office.

The sophistication of this curse far surpasses the scope of ordinary black magic.

In Puni's view, it could even be called a unique magical art.

It doesn't directly harm people, but it can force every employee to leave in all sorts of bizarre ways.

As Penny spent more and more time studying at Hogwarts, he was exposed to more and more magical knowledge, and he increasingly felt the vastness and profundity of magic in this world.

Only look at the infrastructure and popularity of magic.

This world is undoubtedly a high-magic world.

Puni was well aware that the so-called high magic and low magic were never the standard for measuring the strength of a world's combat power. The core criteria for judgment were the scope of magic's popularity and maturity in the world, as well as whether a stable magical social system had been formed.

This world has a very comprehensive system for popularizing magic. The Ministry of Magic uses specialized personnel to search for every child with magical talent worldwide, regardless of whether they come from a wizarding family or a Muggle family. They can be accurately found and given the opportunity to enter magic schools to receive systematic education. No talented child will be overlooked.

More importantly, the wizards here have long since formed a stable and orderly social structure.

The Ministry of Magic oversees and manages the order of the entire wizarding world, regulating the behavior of wizards.

Hogwarts, Beauxbatons, Durmstrang, and other magic schools are responsible for training the next generation of wizards.

Diagon Alley, Knockout Alley, and other magical commercial districts provide wizards with all kinds of magical supplies.

The St. Goman's Magical Injury and Illness Hospital is responsible for treating injured or ill wizards.

With clear division of labor in all walks of life and wizards' lives deeply intertwined with magic, this mature magical social system is sufficient to support the title of "high magic world".

What shocked Puni the most was the existence of an incredibly powerful magical nexus in this world.

The ingenuity and practical value of this hub are absolutely perfect.

It is the Floo Network, which is under the unified control of the Ministry of Magic and spans the entire wizarding world.

It was this magical hub that completely broke the limitations of space, allowing wizards scattered all over the world to travel back and forth instantly, as if they were close to each other, no longer troubled by distance.

The magical nexus that Puni spoke of with such amazement was none other than the Floo Network, which was firmly controlled by the Ministry of Magic.

As the most central spatial magic facility in the entire wizarding world, its existence has completely rewritten the way wizards travel, allowing wizards scattered all over the world to easily travel close to each other, even if they are thousands of miles apart, thus completely breaking down the barriers brought about by spatial distance.

Many wizards mistakenly believe that Floo Powder is required to activate Floo Net, but this is not the case.

Through consulting numerous ancient texts and asking professors, Puni learned that all methods in the world capable of long-distance instantaneous teleportation are inextricably linked to the Filu Network.

Whether it's the Portkeys that wizards use to travel or Apparition, which requires a certain level of magical skill to master, they are essentially based on the spatial magic power of the Floo Network; the only difference is the way they are activated and used.

This was different from what he had originally thought.

The door key does not require complicated spells to operate; it only needs to be bound to a designated location in advance, and you can be instantly teleported by holding the door key.

Apparition requires the wizard to skillfully control their own magic and connect to the Floo Network with their will to achieve spatial jumps in a short period of time.

Puni often couldn't help but imagine that the wizards' range of activities was still relatively limited. If wizards lived in every corner of the earth and were all connected to the Floo Network, then the airplanes, trains and other means of transportation invented by Muggles would probably lose their meaning.

Especially the large passenger planes commonly used by Muggles. Once wizards can travel freely around the world with the Floo Network, whether for tourism or business, they can arrive in an instant. Who would still choose to take a long-distance passenger plane?

By then, companies that rely on passenger planes for operations will likely face business crises and may even go bankrupt.

Puni would occasionally have even bolder ideas: if future wizards could extend the power of the Floo Network into outer space and achieve instantaneous interstellar teleportation, then the power and value contained in the Floo Network alone would be enough to support a ritual of sacrifice to become a god.

After all, the power to control space and traverse interstellar space has long surpassed the scope of ordinary magic, reaching a level close to that of a god.

However, the more Puni learned about FlooNet, the more mysterious it seemed.

He spent a great deal of time poring over ancient books in the Hogwarts library and repeatedly asking professors and upperclassmen, but he still couldn't find out who the creator of FlooNet was.

There is no written record of its origin. It is as if it was taken over and controlled by the Ministry of Magic from the very beginning, silently serving the wizarding world. The secrets behind it have remained unknown to anyone.

Unlike the mysterious origins of FlooNet, the information about FlooPowder needed to activate FlooNet is relatively public.

This grayish-white powdery magical material has a very fixed price; a spoonful costs only two silver kos, making it affordable for everyone and quite accessible.

Its sales channels are also very fixed, with a single, unidentified store in Diagon Alley selling it exclusively.

This store has no clear owner information and no advertising, yet it has branches in various countries around the world, making it a true global chain. No matter which country you buy it from, the price and quality of Floo powder are exactly the same.

Although Floo Powder is readily available, its preparation method remains a mystery in the wizarding world, and no ordinary wizard knows the secret.

Every year, St. Goman's Hospital for Magical Injuries receives many wizards who are injured from making their own Floo Powder. Most of these wizards think that Floo Powder is cheap and want to try making it themselves, which can save money and satisfy their curiosity. However, because they do not know the proportions of the ingredients and the core process, they cause violent explosions during the experiment.
