Hogwarts: This Wizard Is Not Scientific

Andy sighed. It seemed impossible to find like-minded partners.

Even Cedric only regarded magic as a survival skill rather than a subject that needed to be studied.

There is no hope for the wizarding world!

Andy had never realized this so deeply.

The person who brought despair to the wizarding world was never Voldemort, but the closedness and backwardness of the wizarding world itself.

It’s just like the closed-door policy in the previous life.

The magical world lives its own life behind closed doors. Some people cannot see the changes outside, and some people, even if they see them, pretend not to see them.

Andy closed his eyes slightly, and when he opened them, he had already made a decision.

The magical world... let it rot to the end!

Andy will pursue immortality and power along the path of magic. If possible, Andy also wants to become a god along the path of magic.

As for the wizarding world, even if it is destroyed by Muggles in the future, as long as it does not affect himself, what does it have to do with Andy?

Those who work hard to reform the wizarding world may not be appreciated by others.

Isn't Grindelwald the best example?

"What's wrong with you?" Cedric keenly noticed Andy's changes.

"It's okay, I just figured out some things."

Andy smiled and said in a carefree tone, "Forget about the duel group! Just like you said, we can't invite seniors from the upper grades. If we have time in the future, let's practice together!"

"do not!"

Cedric quickly said, "We can invite Qiu and Hermione."

Speaking of Hermione, Cedric raised an eyebrow at Andy.

"We two are fine!"

Having said that, Andy was not sure whether Hermione could accompany him to the end.

But at least so far, Andy feels that he and Hermione are still very compatible.

Chapter 112: Analyzing Myths from a Magical Perspective

Cedric looked at Andy with envy.

How come he doesn't have the nerve to do this?

Andy patted Cedric on the shoulder. "Hermione has been studying Chinese myths and legends recently. Qiu is here too. How about going to the library to take a look?"

Cedric jumped up from the ground, "Why didn't you say so earlier?"

After saying this, Cedric looked at Andy with resentment.

With such a good opportunity, you still want to drag me into playing some stupid duel game?

Still not good brothers anymore?

"I'm just trying to appear more natural!"

Andy spread his hands and said with a smile: "You are a third-year Hufflepuff student. If I take you there directly, how can I tell Qiu?"

"You said you admired her beauty, so you followed me here to take a look?"

"When did I..." Cedric blushed.

Saying that you admire Qiu's beauty is too embarrassing!

Cedric dug his toes into the ground, not knowing where to put his hands.

Andy raised the corner of his mouth slightly, wow, what a pure little boy.

"So, I asked you to practice dueling, and when we were chatting, we talked about the wizard culture of China..."

Andy smiled and said, "Doesn't this make sense?"

Cedric nodded repeatedly, yes, yes, you are right, let’s go!

library.

Andy and Cedric searched around before they found Hermione and Zhang Qiu in a corner of the library. The two were flipping through books and chatting in low voices.

The location was well chosen, just out of Madam Pince's sight.

Andy was about to walk over, but found that Cedric stopped where he was and did not follow him.

Looking back...

Andy couldn't help but hold his forehead.

He's quite a handsome guy, why is he becoming such a fangirl?

"Hey! Don't be silly!"

Andy pulled Cedric and reminded him, "Don't scare Qiu again by looking at your stupid behavior."

"Saury!"

Cedric came back to his senses, quickly straightened his clothes, and smoothed his hair with his hands, "Andy, is everything okay?"

"Very handsome!" Andy shrugged, looking helpless.

"Hi! Hermione, Qiu, hello!" Andy walked over with Cedric, greeted them softly, pulled out a chair and sat opposite them. The whole set of movements was as natural as flowing water.

"Hello, I'm Cedric Diggory, a third-year Hufflepuff student." Cedric was a little stiff at first, but he quickly adjusted himself and sat next to Andy.

Zhang Qiu looked up at the two of them and said, "Hello! My name is Zhang Qiu, you can call me Qiu."

"Hello, Mr. Diggory."

Hermione greeted Andy, then looked at him and asked, "Why are you here? Didn't you say you wanted to find someone to practice dueling with?"

"Hello, just call me Cedric."

After saying that, Cedric turned around and looked at Andy. Good, brother, you have laid the groundwork in advance.

Touching...

"I talked to Cedric about the magic world in China. I didn't expect that he was also quite interested."

Andy responded casually, and then asked, "What are you looking at?"

"A lot! There's Nuwa mending the sky, Kuafu chasing the sun, and some other mythological systems."

Hermione said as she flipped through the book: "I've heard some of these myths before - I mean, when I was in the Muggle world."

"I've also read the story of Nuwa mending the sky."

Cedric quickly recalled the information he had looked up some time ago, "Legend has it that in ancient times, a flood destroyed the world. A wizard named Nuwa could not bear to see the people suffer, so she refined five-colored stones to repair the sky."

Zhang Qiu looked at Cedric in surprise when he heard this.

She didn't expect that there were so many people in the British magical world who were curious about China's ancient legends.

Cedric couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth slightly. Andy's information was so useful.

"In many mythological systems, there are records of legends of floods destroying the world."

Hermione looked like she was seriously discussing this. "But in my opinion, that's just an exaggeration of the ancient people's inability to fight natural disasters."

"If Nuwa is a wizard, the five-colored stone should be an alchemical item. We all know that as long as the river embankment is repaired, floods can be avoided."

Andy: What's with that serious, discussion-like tone of yours?

Does anyone still care about this now?

Also, aren't the five-colored stones used to patch up the sky? How did they become used to repair riverbanks?

"In fact, if we bring mythology closer to reality, we can understand it this way."

Cedric said: "Many myths about Muggles are actually created by ancient wizards. Muggles don't understand wizard magic, and as rumors spread, they became myths over time."

Zhang Qiu said: "My mother also told me these stories when I was a child. In ancient China, there were some legends about wizards during the Shang and Zhou dynasties, but they disappeared later. Maybe they were separated from the Muggle world!"

"Do they also call them wizards in China?" Andy thought they were called Qigong practitioners.

Zhang Qiu said: "That's what my mother said."

Cedric looked surprised. "In China, did the wizarding world and the Muggle world separate so early?"

"I know this!"

Hermione said, "It is said that there was a war in ancient China, which seemed to be called the Battle of the Gods. If that is not a myth, then perhaps it is a war between wizards and Muggles."

Zhang Qiu explained: "The Battle of the Gods seems to have happened at the end of the Shang Dynasty!"

"That explains it!"

Hermione seemed to have discovered the truth, "Because wizards participated in the Muggle war, it caused too many casualties. In order to prevent such a thing from happening again, the wizarding world was separated from the Muggle world."

Andy: "..."

Is this a forced explanation?

Listening to the three of them discussing each other, Andy found that if he ignored the memories of his past life, these explanations still made sense.

But isn’t “Investiture of the Gods” a novel?

"Andy, why aren't you saying anything?" It was rare for Hermione to see Andy so silent.

Andy looked up at Hermione, and Hermione glared at Andy fiercely: You asked me to trick Zhang Qiu into returning to China, why don’t you say anything?

"Are there any books on this subject in the library?" Andy asked.

Hermione handed Andy a large book, "It's all here, take a look for yourself!"

Andy flipped through it casually.

The book does record ancient Chinese legends, but looking at these familiar legends from previous lives from a magical perspective always gave Andy a strange feeling.

Hermione glanced at the chapter Andy had read. "That's the story of Jingwei filling the sea, but I think that might be the failed Animagus."

Andy: "..."

There are too many slots but no mouth.

"It seems that Jingwei drowned at the seashore?"

Zhang Qiu thought for a moment and said, "I remember that to practice Animagus transformation, it seems that we need to wait until the weather is stormy."

Chapter 113 Three Useful Tools

Jingwei is an Animagus...?

Andy scratched his head. This... Well, if you understand it from the perspective of magic, it makes sense.

"Animagus transformation requires waiting for stormy weather. This was actually discovered later."

Hermione explained: "The story of Jingwei filling the sea happened thousands of years ago. At that time, the magic system might not have been perfect. Jingwei thought she could practice Animagus by the sea, but the magic failed and she could never change back."

Andy: "..."

That sounds reasonable.

After being fooled by Hermione, Andy even began to doubt whether the world he lived in in his previous life really had mysterious powers.

If we interpret some myths from the perspective of magic, it actually makes sense. As for those myths that are a bit exaggerated, perhaps they are just distorted rumors.

After all, there were not many ways to record things in that era, and many things were passed down orally.

"By the way, how's your duel practice going?" Hermione suddenly asked.

Cedric was a little embarrassed when he heard this.

If Zhang Qiu wasn't here, he could openly admit that he had never beaten Andy. But in front of the goddess, Cedric didn't want to lose face.

Sensing the distress signal from Cedric, Andy blinked and said, "Neither of us can do anything to the other. Cedric is the Seeker, and he reacts very quickly."

Cedric was touched, "Andy is also amazing. He has a high level of magical attainments."

Andy and Cedric are two different types.

Andy is a hardcore player, with a higher level and skills than Cedric. Cedric is good at operation, and even if his attributes are inferior, he can still fight Andy.
