A certain Hogwarts rune professor

Chapter 559 The first hole card

Resisting the urge to walk away, Snape took the grilled fish, but his eyes were terrifying.

"Tell me something, Severus?" Felix asked, seeing Snape's silence, he understood.They came out of the auditorium and came to the center of the courtyard, where the ground was covered with a layer of white snow.

"I heard you and Bubbaji discussing using magic to grow crops—" Snape paused, before finishing the sentence without any ups and downs: "I happen to have a similar confusion."

Of course, he heard more than that. For example, there was a pen pal in it. He probably was the dangerous person Dumbledore said. Through Felix's description, Snape simply outlined in his mind a closed, stubborn, The image of a wizard who is not good at words and lives alone.

Such people are not uncommon in the wizarding world.But it is probably a powerful person who can make Dumbledore so afraid.

These thoughts flashed by, Snape finished, and looked at Felix calmly.

Felix glanced at him, not surprised, he just wanted to bring in a potions master, and compared with Damocles Belby who was far away, Severus, who was obviously close at hand, was more suitable.

There was also a backup candidate, Slughorn, but it was not easy to persuade this old man, who had a penchant for easy things and a penchant for enjoying himself.

"Wizards have always tended to be self-sufficient. Using magic to grow vegetables? In their view, it is no different from using magic to wash dishes and clean up the house, but if you look at it from another angle-vegetables, fruits, and crops are all life. How magic helped, no one can say."

Snape listened silently, always feeling that something was wrong, why did he really talk about growing vegetables?
"Things that wizards take for granted are fantasy in the eyes of Muggles." Felix continued, "I think this is a good entry point."

"What entry point?" Snape asked sharply.

"Observing Muggle science from the perspective of a wizard, and finally returning to magic." Felix said: "This process requires an understanding of both sides - there is no need to be proficient, and Professor Bubaji's knowledge reserve is completely enough That's why I introduced this subject to her."

Snape snorted through his nose, and said flatly: "It's indeed better than studying the nature of magic beyond one's own strength."

Felix didn't answer, "As far as I know, no wizard has ever systematically studied the influence of magic on planting crops before. Apart from the fact that there are few people in the wizarding world, there is another biggest reason: pragmatism prevails among wizards. "

This is also the conclusion Felix came to from a higher perspective to examine the differences between wizards and non-wizards.

The two edifices of magic and technology have very different foundations - the former is based on magic and the mind, while the latter is based on reason and logic.For the vast majority of wizards, rationality and logical reasoning skills are useful, but not necessary, at least they do not affect their spellcasting.

Over time, this part of knowledge is only reflected in specific disciplines.

"...Magic planting? Magical planting? If Professor Bubaji can really research some results, it may change the world."

"Change the world?" Snape couldn't help frowning, the word sounded very dangerous.

"Ah, that's a misnomer." Felix smiled and took a bite of the grilled fish: "The precise way to say it is to lay down a powerful hole card."

Snape memorized it silently, and at the same time secretly pondered where this card could be used. He subconsciously took a bite of the fish, and the tender and tasty fish exploded in his mouth. Afterwards, a gust of warm air diffused in his stomach, filling the garden. The air was even colder and biting.

He heard Felix continue, "Professor Bubaji stands at the door of a new field, and I'm happy to see it happen, and I will not hesitate to provide some trivial help."

"Like that pen pal?" Snape ventured.

He felt that he was getting closer to the truth, and Dumbledore instructed him—no, Dumbledore didn't intend to tell him who that person was, but it didn't prevent him from knowing from Felix.Snape thought secretly.

He didn't expect it to go so smoothly, and Felix didn't seem to want to hide it.

A strange sense of familiarity arose in Snape's heart. When was the last time?Oh, he was pulled into the "Future World" company, and he still has to set aside a period of time every month to brew the enhanced version of Wolfsbane potion and analyze the formula of alchemy materials...

His vigilance was instantly full.

Felix blinked.Overheard a lot, Severus.Like an experienced hunter waiting for his prey to take the bait, he patiently explained: "Not only him, but more people. At least I can think of magic planting - let's call it that - this discipline may still need to be used Knowledge of Charms and Potions."

he?Is it a wizard?Snape's heart skipped a beat.Then he understood why Felix had revealed this information to him, using his knowledge of Potions... He felt like he had thrown himself into a trap.

"It seems like a big project, but I don't see any use for it," Snape said calmly. "I've only heard of stupid wizards, not starving wizards."

"Broaden your mind, Severus, there are more than wizards in this world."

Snape thought about it for a while, and his calm heart suddenly stirred up ripples. The hand holding the grilled fish was trembling. He had to use Occlumency to cover up his true emotions.After a while, he asked hoarsely: "You mean—the Muggles? No—there are restrictions under the Statute of Secrecy—unless—"

His expression became unpredictable, but his heart felt cold.

Felix waved his hand, "I didn't intend to challenge the secrecy law, so I said this is just a trump card." Snape was slightly relieved, but Felix's next sentence made him raise his heart in his throat, All internal organs are about to jump out.

"After all, there are lessons learned from the past," Felix said. "If I have learned anything from it, it is that you can't go to extremes, because if you are extreme, the people who support you will be even more extreme. Even if it affects 10 people, it is a little insignificant— —" He gave Snape a meaningful look.

Snape suddenly thought of a name - Gellert Grindelwald.Is he the one Dumbledore was wary of, the first Dark Lord?He couldn't wait to continue listening, slowing his breath, thinking over every word Felix said.

"Stubbornness breeds bigots, but it also separates you and your followers from normal people..." Felix said. , the onlookers didn't take it seriously, but felt unfamiliar and afraid of the way 'you' waved his arms, and subconsciously stayed away from you."

"So how did you solve this problem?" Snape asked, completely calmed down.

"Dumbledore and the Ministry of Magic are at the forefront!" Felix said irresponsibly. "At best, I just foresee some possible crises and make some preparations in advance. It's not illegal to start a company, and it's okay to support the development of the magic world." I won't be attacked by groups..."

"Including pushing Bubbaji to study the magic planting you said? Do you think this matter can overcome a certain crisis?" Snape asked knowingly.

"I don't know." Felix said briefly, "I only know that there are more than a billion people in this era who don't have enough to eat."
