From Azkaban

Filch could only piece together the Illusion Web in his mind by eavesdropping on the little wizards' conversations.

Filch was also very happy about the appearance of the magic network, because the magic network made the young wizards addicted to it and no longer thought about wandering around at night to make trouble, which reduced a lot of work for him.

In recent times, Filch didn't know how many times he had thanked Locke in his heart, believing that he was the best and most talented professor in Hogwarts.

Volume 1: Chapter 135: Debut

Because there were no more little wizards making trouble and Peeves did not show up, Filch's cleaning task was completed quickly, so he naturally had no reason to continue eavesdropping and could only choose to continue in another place.

Soon, the peaceful day ended as the sun set, and Filch returned to his office, carrying an oil lamp and starting his daily patrol.

Time continues to pass quickly in such a comfortable cycle. It feels like in the blink of an eye, a month has slipped away from your fingertips.

"How is it, Professor Kazir? Is it running smoothly?"

In the magic network development office, everyone was staring at Locke who had just exited the magic network. Professor Flitwick was the first to ask.

"........."

Locke did not answer Professor Flitwick immediately, but continued to confirm it in his mind before finally nodding slowly in the nervous and expectant eyes of everyone.

"It was very successful. The trial version of the "online classroom" can be confirmed to have been developed. Although there are still some minor issues that need to be polished and improved, it has been basically completed overall."

Locke's voice echoed in the office, and everyone who was nervously expecting the answer smiled when they heard the answer.

"Haha! We succeeded!"

Professor Flitwick took out his wand with excitement and pointed it at the roof. Dense magical fireworks sprayed out from the tip of the wand and exploded under the roof, turning into gorgeous fireworks.

Every professor had a smile on his face, even Grindelwald and Dumbledore looked like ordinary old people with their eyes narrowed and smiling happily.

"Professor Kazir, could you give us an estimate of how long it will take for the 'online classroom' to be officially put into use?"

The professors did not celebrate for too long. They quickly adjusted their mood and began to prepare to solve the final problem. Before they began, Dumbledore suddenly spoke and asked this question.

"Don't worry, there aren't many problems left. At our speed, five days will be enough."

In fact, it does not take five days just to polish an "online classroom". The reason why Locke said five days is because in addition to the "online classroom", there is also a "public square" that needs final polishing and improvement.

From the very beginning, the development of the magic network was to have these two functions together, but Locke did not inform everyone about this.

“Five days, is that the normal five days of development or the actual five days of development?”

"Of course it takes five days of normal development."

The normal opening time is five days, and the actual development time is Tuesday and Thursday afternoon. The actual development time actually took five days to develop.

"I understand"

Dumbledore nodded thoughtfully after getting the correct answer. As one of the developers, he knew very well that the emergence of the "online classroom" would inevitably bring about huge changes in five days. As the principal, he had to make corresponding preparations in advance.

.......................

At night, Hogwarts Castle was extremely quiet. Filch was walking in the corridor with an oil lamp. Looking at the corridor that was as empty as usual, he suddenly felt a little lonely.

For more than a month, Filch did not find even one little wizard who violated the rules and went out for a night stroll at night. The same was true during the day. There were no little wizards causing trouble. Even Peeves was nowhere to be found and had not been seen for more than a month.

Everything that was once familiar suddenly disappeared. There were no more little wizards playing tricks on him, and no more little wizards roaming at night for him to catch and punish with pleasure.

With the appearance of the magic network, everything changed. At first, Filch was happy about this situation, but gradually, he began to panic.

Looking at the increasingly unfamiliar Hogwarts, Filch began to get anxious. Hogwarts changed so quickly that before Filch could react, it was as if he had nothing to do and had become an insignificant person.

This situation made Filch begin to worry that he would be left behind, that he would gradually fail to keep up with the pace of Hogwarts and become useless, and eventually have to leave Hogwarts.

Filch felt a wave of panic at the thought of himself being expelled from Hogwarts.

Such panic made Filch actually start praying for some little wizards to come out for a night stroll and praying for some little wizards to come and cause trouble for him.

This is really funny. He once hoped that the little wizards would not cause trouble for him. Now that the little wizards don't bother him anymore, he prays for the little wizards to come back.

I have to say that Filch is really a very tragic person. He is surrounded by magic but cannot touch it. He can only watch with envy and jealousy those talented young wizards squandering the things he has always dreamed of.

A Squib who was born in a wizard family, yearns for magic but doesn't know how to use it, stays in a school that trains wizards. It has to be said that this is a very dramatic and ironic picture.

And now, this miserable and twisted gatekeeper suddenly found that even his last hope of getting close to magic was about to be taken away. How could he not feel panic in his heart?

Filch spent the night praying, and as expected, he came up empty-handed again.

Under the morning sun, Filch, who had been patrolling all night, returned to his office with a tired body and a desperate mood.

Fortunately, since there have been no little wizards causing trouble since the start of the school year, Filch's cleaning frequency has been greatly reduced, allowing him to rest enough before starting work.

However, this might not be something to be thankful for for Filch right now.

As the sun rises, Hogwarts "wakes up" again, and the noise and footsteps that had disappeared at night begin to fill the entire campus.

In Locke's office, Locke, who had just finished his visualization, received the good news he had been waiting for for many days.

Just now, Lucius reported to Locke through the magic network that the concept of magic technology began to appear in the British wizarding world starting from yesterday.

The source of the spread is naturally Hogwarts, or to be more precise, the students of Hogwarts.

Obviously, after a period of sedimentation, the news and concepts of magic technology finally spread to the magic world through the channels of students.

As the situation in Hogwarts became known to parents of each student, Locke and the concept of magical science finally made their debut in the most orthodox and authoritative manner!

As soon as Locke and the magical science concept appeared, they spread throughout the magical world at a terrifying speed, and before Lucius started to operate, they had already gained the support and recognition of a large number of wizards.

Volume 1: Chapter 136 Progress and Iteration

Deep in the Demon Network, in the exclusive space of the Round Table Council, as Locke issued a notice, the meeting which was scheduled to take place two days earlier was held ahead of schedule, and members quickly came online one by one.

Soon, as the last member came online and took his seat, the meeting began, and Locke looked at Lucius.

"Lucius, tell me about the current situation of the British wizarding world."

Lucius, who was called, stood up, bowed slightly to Locke, and then spoke under the gaze of all the members.

"So far, the Magic Network has been launched in the British wizarding world for nearly a month and a half. The current number of users is basically consistent with the total population of the British wizarding world collected in the early stage."

"From the current situation, the promotion plan of the magic network is going as smoothly as planned in the early stage, and the completion time of the first step is also within the expected time."

"With all the newspapers that we already control, I can assure you that our Round Table has already gained control of the information and public opinion channels of the entire British wizarding world."

Lucius raised the corner of his mouth, revealing a slightly arrogant smile.

"From now on, all the information that wizards in the entire British wizarding world can receive will be under our control. Even the Ministry of Magic is the same. Whether it is speaking or listening, their eyes and ears no longer belong to them."

The smile on Lucius's face became more and more unbridled, and his tone of voice became more powerful. After listening to his report, many members at the table smiled one by one.

"Of course, that's not the point today."

Without pausing for a few seconds, Lucius changed the subject and said, "I called everyone here today to inform you of another important matter."

As he spoke, Lucius turned around again and bowed slightly to Locke. When he saw Locke nod slightly, he sat down again.

Seeing Lucius's actions, the members at the table instantly understood what he meant, and all looked at Locke with expectant eyes.

"Everyone, you already know that magic science is the new path I have been looking for. For this reason, I went to Hogwarts and chose my alma mater as the first stop to promote my ideas."

Locke looked around at everyone present and spoke slowly, his unhurried voice echoing in the space.

"Just this morning, Lucius reported to me that our ideas have appeared in the British wizarding world through the students of Hogwarts."

Upon hearing this, many members present immediately became nervous. These nervous members knew very well that what Locke was saying now would greatly affect the future direction of their careers.

"I once said in a discussion with you that if we want our business to succeed, we can't do it alone. We need more people to join us. Real change is never the work of a few people."

“So, we need to become the majority and get more people to join us. To do this, the first thing we need to do is to step to the front and publicize our ideas to the public.”

As Locke spoke, he raised his right index finger which was resting on the armrest of the chair and tapped lightly on the armrest.

"And now, we have taken this crucial step, and we have succeeded. Our voices have actually been heard, and people have chosen to accept rather than resist and reject new ideas."

"Although many of them don't even understand what magic technology is, this is undoubtedly an important milestone in our cause."

Having said this, Locke raised his eyes again, scanning the faces of each member with a smile on his face.

"Everyone, there is no doubt that we are on the right path, so I hope you will continue to work hard with me in the future. Please believe that we will create a new era and open up a bright future for wizards."

Locke stood up slowly, placed his hands on the table, and looked at everyone with an extremely sincere expression.

That’s right, this is the main purpose of Locke’s convening of a meeting in advance. As a keyboard warrior who once established a government for a period of time, Locke is well aware of the importance of firm belief in change.

A firm belief initially begins with words and ideas, but along the way it needs to be reinforced and strengthened by actual results.

Use facts time and again to make all partners who work together understand that they are indeed on the right path, and that their contributions and efforts are effective and worthwhile. Only in this way can we continue to move forward with determination.

To put it simply, this is the necessary process of gradually transforming from ideological goals to beliefs.

"My Lord! Your will is the only direction for us to move forward!"

"We will always follow you!"

"You are the only truth!"

"............."

Listening to Locke's sincere words, all the members stood up in unison and spoke enthusiastically. Among all the members, Snape was naturally the calmest, but even he spoke out to express his determination at this moment.

Locke looked at this scene with satisfaction. He waited for a few seconds and slowly raised his hands. Seeing this, everyone who was still talking immediately stopped talking.

"sit down"

Without saying any unnecessary sensational words, Locke's goal had been achieved, and the next step was a new round of arrangements.

Everyone sat down, and Locke turned his head again to look at Lucius on his left.

"Lucius, now that you have completely mastered the information channels of the British wizarding world, what you need to do next is to break the information barriers that the Ministry of Magic has previously set for the public and correct their ideas bit by bit."

Locke did not set a time for Lucius because he was well aware of the stubbornness of the wizarding race. It would take time to change the people, not overnight.

"Don't worry, sir. I will start preparing as soon as I get back."

"Well, besides this, there is another thing I need you to do."

Lucius stood up and bowed slightly to Locke. After he finished speaking, he was about to sit down, but he heard Locke speak again, and his legs, which had just been bent a little, immediately straightened.

"Now the public has a preliminary understanding of magic science, which is a good thing, but it is not enough. We need to continue to deepen the public's understanding and recognition of magic science."

Locke looked at Lucius, his fingers tapping the armrest of the chair at a steady frequency.

"It just so happens that I recently completed the first iteration of the original magic network with the professors in Hogwarts and Headmaster Dumbledore. I think I can take this opportunity to hold a new function release speech online so that the public can truly understand what magic science is."

Lucius didn't expect such explosive news. That was the Magic Net, and the iteration was completed so quickly. How long has it been since the development of the Magic Net was completed!

Volume 1: Chapter 137: Influence and Propaganda

"The date is set at 7:30 p.m. five days from now. Go and publicize this event. Remember, bring along Headmaster Dumbledore and the professors of Hogwarts. This is what I promised them. We can't let them work in vain."

Locke raised a smile. Dumbledore's name was very useful in the British wizarding world, not to mention the four deans: Professor McGonagall, Professor Flitwick, Professor Sprout and Professor Snape.

Although not as good as Dumbledore, the reputation and status of these four deans in the British wizarding world are equally high.

"Okay, sir, please rest assured. I will definitely get this done."

Lucius was able to sit down with peace of mind this time. After this matter was finalized, the meeting did not end. Lucius continued to report on some other things and the situation in Knockturn Alley.

At the same time, the resource support for various subjects that Locke had promised Professor McGonagall was also prepared by Lucius. It would be delivered once a month, and the first delivery would be in two days. Naturally, Lucius had to report on this matter.

After Lucius, there are the remaining members. Arthur needs to report on his progress in the Ministry of Magic, Rodolphus needs to report on his progress in France, and Snape needs to report on the situation of Slytherin House.

There are actually a lot of things to do, and problems that need to be discussed and solved one after another.

While the Round Table was meeting, in the outside world, as the identity of Locke as the creator of the magic network and his theories on magic technology spread throughout the British wizarding world, countless wizards began to develop a keen interest in Locke and magic technology.

Diagon Alley, which is still the largest commercial street in the wizarding world, is now crowded with people and the shops on the street are doing a booming business.

But in fact, some time ago, your place suffered a significant loss of customers due to the emergence of the new Knockdown Alley, and there were not many people on the street for a while.

However, this situation quickly disappeared after the opening of the Magic Network Company. As the Magic Network became increasingly popular, the flow of people in Diagon Alley began to recover, even exceeding before.

Faced with such a situation, the shop owners on the street were naturally very happy, and their favorable impression of Magic Network Company also increased sharply.

Now, as Locke's information spreads, these shop owners' favor from Magic Network Company has quickly shifted to Locke and magic technology.

"Professor Kazier is such a talented wizard who can create such a great magical invention as the Magic Weave. It's great to have him as a professor at Hogwarts."

Inside the Leaky Cauldron, the manager Tom was chatting with the customers at the bar with great interest.

"Who says he isn't? It is said that the magic science course he created is a brand new magic that even Dumbledore was amazed at. Professor Kazir is a true genius who has achieved such success at such a young age."

"No, to be able to create something as great as the magic web, Professor Cazier must have reached an unprecedented level in alchemy. I think he may even have surpassed the legendary Nick Flamel."

The wizard, as a guest, also seemed to be in high spirits. As a loyal supporter of the magic network, he naturally admired Locke, the creator of the magic network.

There is not only him, there are many wizards like him in the British wizarding world, both men and women, young and old.
