Hogwarts on the Tip of the Tongue

I need an explanation, Miss Caslana. "Dumbledore said in a deep voice.

"Now? Maybe ... not suitable?" Elena said while looking at the little witches around her.

"Yes, now! If you have doubts ..."

Dumbledore tapped his fingers gently on the table. Although there was no change in the surrounding environment, the distance between him and Elena suddenly became quiet, and an invisible magic enveloped him and Ai. Linna.

Even if it ’s close, Hermione ’s three ca n’t hear Elena and Dumbledore ’s voices at all – even their mouth shapes ca n’t be seen clearly, as if everyone is suddenly covered in a layer Fog.

At the same time, Dumbledore's soft voice sounded in the girls' ears.

"Sorry, maybe I need to talk to Miss Caslana alone."

……

In the silent magical enchantment, Dumbledore crossed his fingers and looked at Elena very seriously.

"I don't understand, Miss Caslana."

Dumbledore said softly, Elena had never heard Dumbledore speak in such a solemn tone, even when the Hogwarts was mortgaged a few months ago, the old man did not seem to be so angry.

"Perhaps the other three young ladies did not know the danger of this incident in advance, but I do n’t think you will understand what you are doing. Regarding the test of explosives, this is no longer a serious thing that can be used to make fun of the past. Now. "

"... Why?"

Elena raised her head, hesitated for a moment, then spread her hands helplessly.

"In fact, these same experiments are not the first time these days. This time tonight is just an accident. I never thought that magic would have such a large increase in conventional chemistry. After all, according to my previous equivalent deduction, ten Kg of low-purity ammonium nitrate mixture should not have this effect. "

"In other words, can I understand that you are making weapons?" Dumbledore's face grew more solemn.

"Weapon? That's right, I'm indeed trying to conduct a weaponizable [magic-chemistry] experiment."

Dumbledore's surprise, Elena didn't have any meaning of quibbling, but answered with a straight face.

"Why?" The old man frowned.

"Because Hogwarts, or the magic world, needs weapons."

Elena stared directly at Dumbledore ’s eyes, and a dangerous light flashed on her face. “If you want to intervene in the disintegration of the Soviet Union and other major events after the non-magical world, the wizards must have strong enough control in their hands. And a deterrent force base as a backing. "

"You mean, power?" Dumbledore responded softly.

The subconscious mind flashed a subconscious mind in the mind of the old man. He seemed to have heard the same words decades ago.

But then, besides dignity, Dumbledore's face could not help but a little more confused.

"But ... if only for destructive power and lethality, magic would have a smarter way. I don't think you need to carry out this kind of meaningless experiment. There has been enough war magic that once appeared in this world. Now. "

"Not enough-or, those are not suitable." Elena shook her head.

"Li Huo curse, group phantom migration, war transformation, awadaso life curse, soul charm, plague potion ... these can indeed play extremely terrible lethal power in war, let the opponent unknowingly Lost. But—they exist as if they were dam bombs and poison gas weapons. They have a fatal flaw and lack harmless deterrence. "

Elena paused, glanced at Dumbledore in front of him, and regardless of whether he could understand it, she wanted to continue.

"If you take a little look at the history of human warfare and the history of the Cold War over the years, you will clearly know that non-magical wars stop at nuclear deterrence, and the first premise for the two worlds to be equal is that they need to be afraid of each other. . "

"The power of magic is far more than you think ..."

"It is far more mysterious than my imagination, unpredictable, and difficult to understand."

Elena nodded, then quickly added Dumbledore ’s words, “But it ’s a pity that if you want to make the non-magic world aware of the power of the magic world, our current situation seems to be only through Mass killings have caused this effect-and once done, regardless of the outcome, it will bring endless war. "

Regarding the magic of war, Elena has learned a lot these days.

After all, her follow-up plan involves bone marrow sucking on the bear, so the imaginary enemy will inevitably take into account the Soviet non-magic world and the American non-magic world, that is, the situation of small-scale local wars.

Even if it is a prophet with a history of the previous life, Elena must also prevent herself from having an effective countermeasure in case of the worst, which can push the wheel of history back to the greatest extent.

But according to Grindelwald's introduction, the direction of war on the mysterious side of the magic world has gone too far. Most of the war magic still focuses on the logic of high mystery and high lethality, which belongs to practical war magic.

"In other words, we do not want to win the war, but we want to stop it."

Elena raised her finger and looked at Dumbledore, explaining carefully.

"In a short period of time, it is very unrealistic for the non-magic world to understand the power of magic, but if it is some high-weapons weapons that they can understand some of the principles and destructive power, it will be different. "

"The significance of nuclear deterrence is not just its destructive power."

"The most important thing is that it is first and foremost a weapon that can be widely understood and displayed in a simple and rough form-explosion. This is a common communication method in the entire human world today, just like the sword and armor in the cold weapon era. "

To make a simple analogy, two people are fighting, one person says that I will cut you into two pieces with a forty-meter-long ship-cutting knife, and take out this ship-cutting knife and start to cut potatoes in front of you; and the other People say that my sword will continue, your past, future, and present will all be cut off, and then he cut the air-look, your marriage is now cut off, afraid? !

"... On this point, we will discuss it later when Gellert returns."

After a moment of silence, Dumbledore chose to put this question aside for a while after thinking about it.

This is not an area where he is good at. Whether it is opposed or agreed, it is not a very appropriate choice-as a principal of Hogwarts ~ www.ltnovel.com ~ he only needs to solve some of the things within his scope of responsibility That's it.

The old man's finger tapped on the table again, and the magic barrier surrounding the two people quietly withdrew.

"So, why is it in the magic history classroom?"

"Because it's cold outside the school!"

Elena answered quickly.

Dumbledore: "?????"

Glanced at Dumbledore's darkened face again in an instant, and the girl threw out her tongue, adding to the explanation.

"And ..."

Updated today ~ The weight value of the chapter yesterday was changed to 10 kg.

In fact, earth-made mixed explosives are not as exaggerated as you think, there will be a lot of irrelevant things or internal mixtures that cannot be completely burned to add weight, just like ammonium nitrate fertilizer as fertilizer, there will be many other things in it. thing.

According to the experience of the fat chicken when he was a kid, a paint bucket filled with a mixture of homemade ammonium nitrate and nitric acid may not even be able to blow down a simple obstacle soil wall if the mixing and detonation are not complete-please do not explode industrial explosives and manual explosion Things together.

PS: If you add more, it ’s still there when the refill arrives ~
