Locke was very satisfied with Rodolphus's move. As long as he could succeed, it would be of great benefit to Locke's future plans. After all, the meaning of having a bridgehead and not having a bridgehead are completely different.
Rodolphus's narration quickly ended, and as he sat down, the next member stood up.
"Sir, I am in Japan now. Apart from other things, this country is really small, and there are many people. This also makes the magic world in this country very small. Many places cannot be completely independent and can only live close to Muggles."
"There is also a wizard school here, called the Magic Institute. The wizards here are not called wizards, but Onmyoji. I don't know why they are called this name."
The second member who stood up also surprised Locke. He didn't expect that in just a few days, someone would go to Japan.
"Sir, I have been here for a few days and found that the situation of pure-blood supremacy here is far more serious than ours. Compared to ours, the magic world here is completely controlled by a few big families and a series of vassal families."
"Compared to wizards born in families, the Muggles here... No, they are called civilian wizards. The civilian wizards here have no future at all. Many of them have been taken in as slaves by those wizard families through various means."
At this point, even this member who once believed in the supremacy of pure-bloods showed an expression of intolerance. The reactions of the others varied, some frowned, some looked down on him, and some showed intolerance.
"But the guys here are very strange. They are arrogant and condescending to their own people and those civilian wizards, but they are humble and even flattering when facing foreign wizards."
"They are particularly good at trying to please powerful foreign wizards, and will even take the initiative to send their own women as gifts to serve them, just for the purpose of getting pregnant with their children."
When he said this, the member had a constipated look on his face. Seeing him like this, everyone understood that this must be his personal experience.
"Hiss~~The wizards over there are all...all like this..."
Sirius's three views were shaken greatly. For a moment, he was full of desire to complain, but he didn't know how to describe it.
"Anyway, sir, I think it shouldn't be difficult to unify the magic world here. After all, if the civilian wizards here understand your goal, they will definitely choose to join us without hesitation."
"But judging from the attitude of those family wizards towards foreign wizards, if you go there, those families will probably..."
Having said that, the member looked at Locke carefully, and seeing his look, Locke's originally excited expression suddenly disappeared.
"What are you thinking about?"
Seeing Locke's reaction, the man smiled embarrassedly and sat down.
After this one, the subsequent members became much more normal. Some went to Austria, some to the United States, and some even went to Egypt and Africa.
Through their descriptions, Locke was able to expand his understanding of the magical world around the world.
However, after listening to everything, the most explosive thing was the situation in the Japanese magical world. As for the situation in the Eastern magical world, Locke did not know about it because no one had been there.
..................
The first round table meeting ended successfully in laughter and joy. After exiting the consciousness space, Lucius called Sirius to prepare for the big event in two days.
Volume 1: Chapter 68: The old-fashioned wands should be eliminated
"Draco, tell me about your current understanding and mastery of magic."
The first round table meeting had taken place yesterday. At this moment, Locke, who had just finished his daily meditation, was sitting on a chair in the middle of the hall, smiling at Draco, who was standing in front of him, looking a little reserved and a little excited.
"I...I haven't started yet because I don't have a wand yet."
Draco did not feel embarrassed when asked by Locke. Thanks to the environment of the British wizarding world, he did not think there was anything wrong with not having started learning magic yet.
"Well, that's it."
After hearing Draco's answer, Locke also realized that it seemed that because of him, the Malfoy family had been busy these days, and both parents had no time to take Draco to buy a wand, resulting in Draco not getting his own wand yet.
World-weary
"This education system is really Buddhist. Just because you are young and haven't mastered magic yet, you can't learn magic, but that doesn't mean you can't learn theoretical knowledge first."
Locke no longer wanted to complain about the various problems in the British wizarding world, but this method of education really left him speechless.
This is a full eleven years, minus the six years of childhood growth, which leaves a full five years. If these five years are used to teach theoretical knowledge at a low intensity, it will only take two generations, and the overall strength of the magic world will definitely be improved.
It's not that this method is so effective, but the current magic world is so weak that even the slightest positive change can bring about a significant improvement.
"Come on, Draco. Since you don't have your own wand yet, let's buy you one today. I can also visit Mr. Ollivander on the way."
Locke stood up from his chair, and when Draco heard that Locke was actually going to take him to buy a wand, he was extremely excited.
"Lord Kazir, I..."
Draco just opened his mouth, but before he could finish his words, Locke raised his hand to interrupt him.
"Don't call me that. Call me teacher. Even though I have only taught you for a little over a month, you are still my first student."
Locke also taught Rodolphus and others, but those big guys were obviously not suitable to be called Teacher Locke.
As for why Locke asked Draco to call him teacher, it was not because Locke had a hobby of being a teacher. He called him teacher simply because this identity could make it easier for people to accept his guidance, so as to achieve his goal of integrating the wisdom of the new generation.
After all, compared to an elder whom they must respect, a teacher who also needs respect but is the one who teaches them knowledge can undoubtedly make these children more relaxed and more willing to share their wisdom with him.
Don't underestimate the difference in this identity. It may not seem so important in the early stage, but when it is deeply rooted in people's hearts in the later stage, the impact it brings will be huge.
After all, Locke has never forgotten the most important point, that is, the future belongs to the new generation, and now the new generation is still young, which is the best time to train and guide them.
Compared with the older generation who are now in their forties, the new generation is the most indispensable part of Locke's integration.
Compared to the older generation who have basically taken shape and will find it difficult to completely transform even if they change later, if the new generation, who are still young now, can grow up in a new era, they will definitely be more outstanding in the future, have more advanced ideas, and bring more progressive wisdom and creative ideas.
"Yes! I understand, Mr. Kazir!"
Draco nodded heavily with a stern face. If he wasn't in front of Locke, Draco would have jumped up and down with excitement.
"Great! Draco is actually Lord Cazier's first student!"
Today is Draco's first day of classes at Locke, and as a mother, Narcissa naturally can't help but be nervous.
After sending Draco here, she had been waiting outside the door, listening to the conversation between Locke and Draco. She was very happy to hear that Draco was recognized as his student by Locke.
Narcissa was even happier, especially after hearing that Draco was Locke's first student.
However, she did not forget the purpose of waiting here. After a few seconds of joy, she suppressed her smile, reached out and knocked three times, then pushed open the door and walked into the hall.
"grown ups"
Narcissa closed the door behind her, walked across the wide hall to Draco's side, and bowed to Locke.
"Narcissa, you're just in time. Get the carriage ready. I'm taking Draco to Diagon Alley to buy a wand and visit Mr. Ollivander."
"Okay, I'll go get ready."
This was exactly why Narcissa came in, so she immediately turned around and left quickly after standing up.
After a while, Narcissa stood at the door, watching the carriage carrying Locke and Draco quickly move away.
Diagon Alley, passing through the archway at the back door of the Leaky Cauldron, Locke once again came to this slightly crowded magical commercial street.
"Go, go."
Motioning Draco to follow, Locke walked into the crowd. When passing the entrance of Knockturn Alley, Locke glanced inside and saw a figure walking in. Locke was familiar with that figure. It was a member of the Dutch parliament who was next to him yesterday.
Obviously, after receiving Locke's call, they all rushed back to England and gathered in Knockturn Alley.
"Let's not talk about anything else, just talking about the commuting efficiency of the wizarding world, the Muggle world really can't even catch up, in this aspect, it is really far ahead."
The Muggle world is so far ahead that it will probably be difficult to catch up even in a few thousand years. After all, this is the popularization of space applications.
After a slight sigh, Locke took Draco to Ollivander's Wand Shop.
"Dingling~"
Locke pushed the door open and walked into the wand shop with Draco. Mr. Ollivander, who heard the sound, stuck his head out from behind the shelf. When he saw that it was Locke, a bright smile instantly broke out on the old man's face.
"Mr. Cazier!"
"Mr. Ollivander"
Locke bowed slightly. He was determined to get this wand-making master. In Locke's plan, the wizard's wand was no longer suitable for the coming new era.
Nowadays, this kind of wand that is inconvenient to use and has great disadvantages is no longer suitable for wizards. Nowadays, these wizards who turn into Muggles without the wand are far from meeting the standards of Locke's plan.
But there is a saying that goes, professional matters should be left to professionals.
Locke has accumulated enough things now, and he himself is not a super machine, otherwise he would not think of integrating collective wisdom.
Therefore, Locke naturally had to find professionals to do this kind of thing, and he was responsible for providing ideas and assistance.
In the British wizarding world, the most professional person in this area is naturally Ollivander.
Of course, Locke doesn't rely entirely on himself. Other countries also have their own wand-making experts, and he won't let them go.
But food must be eaten bite by bite, and things must be done step by step. What Locke should do now is to finish the meal in front of him.
Volume 1: Chapter 69: The Gap
Ollivander was very happy about Locke's visit, but he was still very professional and let Draco try the wand first.
After Draco got his own wand, Locke sat down and had a long talk at Ollivander's invitation.
Unlike the last conversation, this time Locke began to guide the topic, actively leading the conversation to the relationship between wands and wizards.
Ollivander would naturally not refuse such a topic. After all, he was an expert in this area and had a lot to say.
The last time he talked with Locke, he got stuck from time to time because he couldn't keep up with Locke's profound knowledge. Although he had a good chat, he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
But this time, they talked about things he was good at, and Ollivander felt his mind was clear, with all kinds of experiences and insights pouring out of his mouth like water.
Seeing Ollivander like this, Locke cooperated very well and kept nodding in agreement and affirmation, and occasionally gave some of his own insights.
In this way, the atmosphere of conversation between the two became more and more heated, and Ollivander's impression of Locke became better and better.
He is not a fool, and he has not lived in vain for all these years. How can he not see that Locke has always been accommodating him?
If Locke was just an ordinary wizard, Ollivander would not have felt anything, but Locke was not an ordinary wizard.
Ollivander knew very well that Locke was a legendary wizard with top magical attainments in the world, and now such a wizard was willing to accommodate and take care of him. To be honest, this feeling was really great and really increased his favor.
However, although it was great, Ollivander knew in his heart that Locke must have his own reasons for being so humble in making friends with him.
The first time, Ollivander was not completely sure, but now this second time, Ollivander was extremely sure.
But even though he understood this, Ollivander had no objection. After all, the opportunity to meet such a legendary wizard was extremely rare, and it was a good thing for him to be able to meet such a wizard.
So, the two people who knew everything chatted with each other for more than half an hour. Listening to the two people chatting, Draco, who was sitting next to them, felt his eyelids gradually starting to fight.
"Mr. Ollivander, do you think current wands are good enough for wizards?"
After the last topic was over, Locke smiled and brought up a new topic again. Hearing his question, Ollivander tilted his head slightly.
"Of course, Mr. Cazier, why do you ask this? Is there something wrong with your wand?"
Ollivander looked at Locke in confusion, wondering why he asked this question.
"There is nothing wrong with my wand, Mr. Ollivander, don't worry. The reason I asked this question is only because I found that as an indispensable companion for wizards, the wand actually has many disadvantages."
When Ollivander heard Locke say that magic wands still had many disadvantages, his eyes immediately widened and he was ready to jump up and down, because in his opinion, Locke was questioning his own skills in making magic wands.
However, as soon as his butt left the chair, Ollivander calmed down immediately, because he thought of Locke's strength and his previous communication with him.
It only took a quick thought for Ollivander to know that Locke was not questioning his own craftsmanship. Since he was not questioning himself, Locke was, as he said, questioning the current wand itself.
"Mr. Kazier, what do you think are the disadvantages of current magic wands?"
Ollivander looked at Locke. He didn't feel that there was any drawback to the current wand. Everything was fine.
"That's too much, Mr. Ollivander. Let's first talk about the inconvenience of the wand itself................."
Locke briefly explained to Ollivander the many disadvantages of the wand, the most important of which was that 99% of wizards were absolutely dependent on their wands and would be like Muggles once they lost their wands, but the wand itself had the property of being easily taken away.
This is obviously a fatal weakness and problem, but for a long time no one has noticed anything wrong with it.
This is also one of the main reasons why Locke concluded that wizards would be defeated if they went to war with Muggles. With such a fatal weakness, once the war broke out, the Muggles would definitely make a big fuss about it.
"this.............."
What Locke said was actually not difficult to understand, and Ollivander could understand it easily as well.
But perhaps it was the difference in their perspectives that caused them to see completely different things. So even though Locke made the problem so clear at this moment, Ollivander still didn't think it was a problem.
"Mr. Kazir, the problem you mentioned does exist, but I don't think it's a big problem. After all................."
Ollivander stated his point of view to Locke. In his opinion, the problems Locke mentioned did not exist only for one wizard, but for all wizards. He also specifically emphasized that there were only a few wizards like Locke in the entire magical world.
And since everyone has this problem, it is not a big problem. After all, I have this weakness and so do others. So in comparison, it can be said that I basically don’t have it.
"Oh~~~"
Listening to Ollivander's theory and looking at the matter-of-fact look on his face, Locke raised his left hand to support his forehead and sighed softly.
"Let's stop here for today, Mr. Ollivander. I heard someone outside who seemed to want to buy a wand, so I won't disturb you from doing business."
Locke did not refute Ollivander, nor did he give him a long explanation as to why he mentioned those disadvantages.
This is a difference in cognition, which cannot be reversed or explained in a few words. If you want him to understand, you must first let him understand the reasons why Locke raised these drawbacks. And if you want to understand those reasons, Ollivander must understand more.
