Chapter 684 Negotiations

"Now, wizards can only get in touch in the sixth and seventh grades of the school. They can only understand the skin of black magic. They can graduate with only a little superficial understanding. So that those wizards who are interested in black magic do not even get started when they graduate. If they don't know the harm, they can explore and conduct dangerous research and practice. Instead of doing this, it is better to lay a solid foundation for them from the beginning, and don't have any blind spots in their knowledge, regardless of their future.

If you don’t study black magic, you can at least master the basic knowledge and know what to pay attention to when researching, so that you can avoid the dangers they encounter in blind research. "Allen raised his eyebrows and looked straight into the other party, "And on the other hand, you have enough knowledge of the magic that the enemy is good at in the possible battles in the next possible battle, so that you can learn the necessary protection methods. The opponents they are facing now are not the Red Hats introduced in the Black Magic Defense class."

"Professor Harris, you know that those powerful magic will fascinate. If a wizard who cannot control his behavior has gone on the wrong path because of indulging in black magic, his whole life will be ruined." Dumbledore's face became much more serious. "Professor Harris, you can't deny this possibility, and the probability of it happening is high. If we win the war for them, they don't need to protect themselves with these possible means that may affect their minds. In the real life of a wizard, they don't need to use these means."

"But before we win the war, what about the wizards who died because of lack of self-protection? We cannot give up. Principal Dumbledore, who stopped moving forward because of fear, wouldn't he lose the opportunity to move forward forever?" Allen persuaded seriously, and pointed out mercilessly, "and doing so is a very unfair practice for other young wizards. They have the opportunity to access a more magical world, broaden their horizons and increase their strength, but they have lost this opportunity because of your various concerns. I don't think you can make a decision for all students for their future. In addition to ordinary wizard life, I think those wizards with sufficient ambitions and curiosity should have a path of promotion for their own. Principal Dumbledore, otherwise what is the purpose of the founder's banned book zone? In my opinion, your previous practice also violates the founder's original intention."

Dumbledore did not give up. He continued to try to persuade Allen to give up his philosophy. "We cannot protect everyone in this way, but we can protect the interests of most people. In the long run, isn't it better for the wizarding world to create a world without black magic? And wizards who are truly ambitious and talented as you can obviously continue their own research after graduation, and this will eliminate those wizards who do not have enough talent and will and do not need this aspect, so that only a few people will fall into black wizards. Obviously, under the powerful execution of the Ministry of Magic, they will no longer have the opportunity to cause any big waves - and those little wizards who do not need to put themselves in this danger."

Allen was obviously not convinced by Dumbledore, and he also stood up to look at himself and the principal of Hogwarts: "I did not ask everyone to force black magic to learn. Dumbledore, this is just a self-selected course. I will not give up on his teaching because of no "talent". As long as there is a little wizard who is interested in and can learn and always use the patron curse, I will try to teach him any knowledge he wants to learn without reservation. Extraordinary intelligence is the greatest wealth of mankind, but I think knowledge is the same, and wealth needs to be circulated to be called wealth. I will not let these wealth only circulate in the hands of a few people. How many magical magic in the legendary stories that are circulated in the history of magic are now lost and how many are mastered by modern wizards? Dumbledore, doing so seems to be a blasphemy to knowledge and ancestors."

"Allen, please listen to me patiently." Dumbledore felt that his next proposal would not refuse, and confidently interrupted Allen. "If you can do this, I am willing to let myself and the Order of the Phoenix cooperate with the Ministry of Magic to fight the Dark King together, and no longer insist on the prophecy that Harry defeated the Dark King in the prophecy - Allen, I think you may have some misunderstandings about me. In fact, I don't believe in divination and prophecy. I have even considered banning this discipline. The reason why I insisted on that prophecy was so because Voldemort chose it and personally marked Harry as his mortal enemy in the prophecy."

"But when you believe Voldemort believes this prophecy, you will fall into it. The important thing is not what you think, but what you do." Allen sneered: "Sorry, Principal Dumbledore, we have proved in the previous battle of the Department of Mystery of the Ministry of Magic that we could defeat Voldemort without the help of you or the Order of the Phoenix. Now I don't think that using this condition can make me agree with the fact that you make decisions on behalf of others - have you asked Moody for the advice you just made just now? Or did you also make decisions on him without authorization?"

Dumbledore opened his mouth to argue, but Allen stretched out his index finger and stopped him, making him make the words he wanted to refute in his throat: "Please forgive me, please wait for me, I'll show you something."

After saying that, Allen snapped his fingers and let his domestic elf Maggie appear in the principal's office. After whispering to her, the other party appeared again after disappearing for a few minutes, but there was an extra set of water pipes in his hand - which made Dumbledore's eyes suck, and he knew what Allen wanted to do.

"Please rest assured, Principal, I am different from the "good friend" you are familiar with. I did not add anything that can help control people's hearts, just show it to you..." As he said that, Allen lit the hookah, then took a sniffle and slowly spit the smoke over the desktop of the principal's office.

The illusion of the ancient Netherel Empire appeared in front of Allen and Dumbledore like a mirage with the smoke.

From the beginning, some simple tricks were regarded as villages composed of rural wizards who had never seen the world. After a period of fanatical learning, they created achievements and glory that would make modern wizards stunned.

From the alliance formed by several small fishing villages at the beginning, the illusion developed to the floating city that relied on the core of Mitherra, which was invented by the great arcane Iolum, which was suspended in the air, protected by protective covers in the deep sea or lava, filled with various mage towers, appeared in front of Principal Hogwarts.

Those Mitherra energy cores, which are the smallest and largest, are about the size of a city, look very similar to crystal balls. The sphere emits very bright light, as dazzling as looking directly at the sun, with some dark shadows floating on the surface. A gorgeous pedestal fixes this perfect spherical device. Its function is very simple. It can connect the essence of the original magic energy, directly transmit the original magic power in it, and then transmit it to the entire territory.

This allows ancient wizards to easily create quasi-magic items with constant magical effects. The energy and financial resources consumed in them are simply not worth mentioning compared to the creation of normal magical items - when a quasi-magic item is within the influence of the Mither energy core, it can use the magical power indoctrinated there. Outside the range, the quasi-magic item stops its effect and is a non-magic item. The magical power it continuously transmits makes the entire mountain float in the air, which is the basis of those floating cities.

Because the cost of these quasi-magic items is very low, the prices of traditional magic items have also been affected, because only those who leave the Mitherra's core will need those things. With the move in by ordinary residents, a large number of quasi-magic items serving the lives of civilians were born, and illuminated magic spheres can be controlled by various commands and sounds. By opening a permanent method connecting the water element plane, people use a simple valve to control the water flow. After the project is completed and put into use, water supply pipelines directly to the room and water storage facilities are laid, and tap water such as modern wizards and Muggles' lives also appeared; and some auxiliary spell casting props even allow Muggles to cast a few small spells to help them live in the floating city.

These amazing achievements formed the lost ancient magic empire.

"I know that the recent actions of my family have made many people unhappy. However, my principal, some people say that we have used some disgraceful means to control the Ministry of Magic, saying that I will control the wizarding world and become the third generation of Dark King. But I don't want to be the Dark King, nor is my own purpose not to control the wizarding world itself to control the Ministry of Magic." Allen's eyes shone, and he walked slowly and casually with his hands behind his back, sincerely towards the principal of Hogwarts.

He also described it excitedly, "President Dumbledore, who are familiar with Muggles, you should know the achievements created by the ancient Roman Empire and the impact on the Renaissance of Muggles, magic! As long as we are like the ancients, let us wizards not only pay attention to the curse of life like we are now, but have comprehensive and theoretical research and development, what a beautiful world we will create for all wizards! This will be a Renaissance in our wizarding world!"

Dumbledore was obviously infected by the visions I saw before and Allen's speech, but his age and strong mind made him calm down in his impetuousness. After a silence and inner tangle, the principal of Hogwarts obviously strengthened his belief: "Allen, I have heard a little about the glory created by the ancient Netherell era. Although I used to treat them as some legendary fictional stories, I don't know what you experienced after falling into the curtain, but Allen, you must understand, no matter what it is Netherell.

The Magic Empire, or the Roman Empire of Muggles, were both very powerful, but they had already perished for their own reasons. According to the rumors I knew before, Netherel's demise was destruction. They did not restrict their research at all. I'm sorry, please forgive me as an old man who was too conservative. I still think that if the wizards formed the kind of unconcerned atmosphere of magic and knowledge research you want, it would cause much more harm to the wizarding world than it could be."

Allen stared at Dumbledore's movements, meaning that he could no longer convince the stubborn old man in front of him. He finally added: "That's why I added those learning restrictions to my courses, and the purpose is to let the wizards learn to recognize the dangers in it first, try to lay a solid foundation and then shine..."

"Well, Professor Harris, we each have our own opinions, but the fundamental purpose is to develop the wizards. Unfortunately, the differences between us seem to be very large at the moment, but I hope I can let you see that I am right. Unfortunately, I cannot persuade you. Since none of us will compromise on this issue, for the future of more young wizards, there is no way, I can only use the principal's authority to cancel this course." Dumbledore saw that negotiations were useless and wanted to use his own power directly.

Allen's body leaned forward slightly, and the eyes of both sides clashed in the air: "Dumbledore, I'm sorry that your idea cannot be realized. This course was agreed by the Ministry of Magic and the school directors before. If you want to veto it, you need to contact enough school directors to let them agree to your decision, but I also hope I can let you see that I am right."

Dumbledore's hand was placed on the table and leaned forward, "Because of your family's aggressive attitude, under the current situation, several school managers have contacted me. I just want to talk to you about these things after talking to you, because compared to those pure-blooded families, the Harris family will be more helpful in the fight against Voldemort, and we could have reached a united front."

Dumbledore regrets from the bottom of his heart. He actually wanted to unite all forces that can be united to deal with Voldemort, and the Harris family and his purpose were actually consistent to some extent.

Alan leaned back and sat back again, crossed his hands on his chest, and he said with a relaxed look: "Then take the time to contact us, and I will be the professor of the ancient magic class in Hogwarts as usual before you successfully contacted enough school directors - according to the Ministry of Magic's plan, we have decided to add this course to the Ordinary Witchcraft Level Test O.W.Ls and the Ultimate Witchcraft Level N.E.W.T in a few years."

Dumbledore nodded helplessly, he narrowed his eyes and stared at Allen for a while. He noticed that Allen had not included the Muggles before. He was a little uncertain whether the other party had not thought about benefiting all mankind because he was considering the secret law issue, or because he was like his old friend, he thought that the Muggles were of other use and had no status in the world he wanted to build. Dumbledore did not ask out the doubts in his heart. He did not see any of Alan's experience in treating the wizard born by Muggles.

Any discrimination, from the information I inquired, also learned that he had attended Muggle School before. And Harris, who had mastered the Ministry of Magic and faced Voldemort and those pure-blooded families, should not blindly establish more enemies. Dumbledore, deeply tired, decided to observe more in this regard as always and make judgments based on the results of the observation, rather than asking a question that would not get the answer now, which made the original and broken relationship more contradictory.

Dumbledore stood up and decided to end the conversation. Although he felt sorry for his conversation with Allen, he believed in the bones that the little wizards should not learn black magic, so the contradiction in philosophy made him unable to reach a consensus with Allen. However, Dumbledore planned to wait until the relationship between the Pureblood family and the Ministry of Magic was worse, the contradictions were more prominent and more intense, and he could work with them to ban the course of ancient magic: ""It seems that our conversation had to end in a bad mood, but fortunately the carnival outside was still very lively, which would make people vent their catharsis under Umbridge's rule bring some positive emotions. Professor Harris, why don't we go together?"

When Dumbledore stood up, he also stood up and prepared to leave. Alan saw a shiny silver sword on the shelf behind him. The hilt was inlaid with a dazzling egg-sized ruby. Alan saw a name engraved near the hilt of a sword - Godric Gryffindor.

Thinking of the brave red-haired witch, thinking of the agreement he had made with the other party, Allen shook his head and replied to Dumbledore: "No need for principal. For me, your decision is like Dolores when he was teaching students the black magic defense class, asking them to put down their wands and pick up their books to read and copy. I'll go to the Black Lake for some breathing. You know, I'm not suitable for an overly lively atmosphere."
