A magical journey that begins in Azkaban

Rogge's vision gradually became clearer, and he began to carefully observe the surrounding environment. The laboratory is huge and spacious, surrounded by countless shelves with glass tubes containing various experimental objects.

"Snake man?" Rogge whispered to himself, his eyes attracted by those samples.

In these glass tubes, there are soaked snake-man specimens in various stages from embryo to old age. These failed experimental individuals, while retaining many human traits, also exhibited distinctly snake-like traits.

"A masterpiece of wandering goblins and Muggles." Baldwin walked over and smiled gently, seeming to be proud of the work he was involved in: "Of course, I also helped them find the right research direction."

"Use the power of the Blood Curse to transform Muggles into magical-like creatures, or even controllable beasts." He waved his wand as he spoke, and a complete snake-man corpse was dragged up to his eyes on an erected iron bed.

"The scales on the skin are very tough, equivalent to a low-end version of dragon skin. Their limbs are more slender and their muscles are stronger. All nervous systems have been destroyed, and they rely entirely on the blood curse to maintain operation." Professor Baldwin enthusiastically explained Roger introduces the specimen.

"Is it your masterpiece?" Rogge stared at Baldwin with piercing eyes.

Baldwin shook his head slightly, seemingly not surprised by Rogge's reaction. He turned to Snape and shouted, "Severus, he has the same look in his eyes as when you first entered the laboratory."

"However, he is more stable than you. At least he didn't take out his wand and point it at me." There was a hint of joking in Baldwin's words.

Professor Snape smiled contemptuously, his eyes showing his trust and pride in Rogge: "Oh, my student can kill a man without a wand."

Although in the quest for Potions, sometimes extreme methods must be employed. But Snape always adhered to the moral bottom line, and he would never allow his students to become dehumanizing executioners.

"Can you cast spells without a wand?" Baldwin pointed to a whole table of papers and said in a calm tone: "Those are my inferences and empirical evidence based on your theory. Even if my transformation potion involves blood magic, there is no need to use No-Maj. Experimental subjects. Because they are not worthy!"

"Actually, the theft of your laboratory has nothing to do with me. I obtained your manuscript through a secret meeting." Baldwin added.

"Secret meeting? What is that?" Rogge asked in confusion.

"It's like the Pig's Head pub in Hogsmeade." Baldwin obviously knew a lot about the British wizarding world. He put his hands in his pockets and said with a smile: "However, the wandering goblins don't believe it."

"During the second goblin rebellion, the wizard's command post was located in your wizarding village in Scotland. They believed that everything in Hogsmeade was questionable."

"So, there is a secret gathering here. Wizards, goblins, vampires, werewolves, and No-Majs. Everyone wears cloaks and masks to exchange information and exchange items in private..."

"Just a dirty deal," Snape added.

"Yes, they are all dirty transactions, but we are all magnanimous." Baldwin laughed dumbly: "Gold coins, land, cultural relics, manuscripts, women... as long as a wizard pays a little, he can get a lot."

"I copied your manuscript there and helped them solve the core problem of transforming No-Maj." Baldwin suddenly raised his voice and shouted to Snape: "I admit that the emergence of the snake people was directly caused by me. But We are wizards, why should we care about them?”

"Even without me, the goblins will find other potion masters." He suddenly turned to Rogge and said sincerely: "As long as the problem can be discovered, the answer is not far away."

While reading the paper on the table, Roger asked: "Why did goblins and Muggles transform snakemen?"

"Whatever." Baldwin shook his head and continued to brew his own potion. "Those wandering goblins are the descendants of the first goblin rebels. They hid in the bottom of the Mayflower and came to the New World."

"Didn't you get help from the British Ministry of Magic when you broke away?" Snape wrote a complex potion formula on the blackboard and said sarcastically: "Traitors and traitors will attract each other. Just like garbage. , always showing up in piles.”

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, arrogant British wizards." Baldwin shook his head and retorted: "At most, they do some sneaky things. Our real friends are the French wizards."

"So, you let the Quebec branch of France be free?" Snape sneered, obviously having his own views on this period of history.

"They are voluntary, everyone voted to leave, and it is legal and compliant." Baldwin knew that the history of magic cannot distinguish right from wrong, and everyone has their own position and beliefs.

"Put a wand on your head, or only allow the Independent Wizarding Party to vote?" Snape revealed the trick with disdain.

Roger quietly listened to the conversation between the two professors while quickly browsing the papers on the table. He put down the last research report and determined that Professor Baldwin was not directly involved in the transformation of the snake people.

"Remaining skeptical is a good trait." Baldwin said with a smile, "Those goblins are now running to find No-Majs to cooperate with."

"As you all know, there are more scum among No-Majs than wizards. I heard that this transformation also involved the participation of the American No-Maj government." A mocking expression appeared on his face immediately, "It is better to believe in the giant dragon than to believe in those goblins. Give up eating meat.”

"Teacher, do you need to report this to the principal?" Roger looked at Snape.

"Dumbledore already knows from the Ministry of Magic. However, this falls under the jurisdiction of the American Ministry of Magic. Neither the principal nor the British Ministry of Magic has the right to intervene." Snape's tone was very cold. For him, the life and death of Muggles It is not as important as the abnormal bubbles in the crucible.

"After the great white wizard came last time, he scared many people." Baldwin said happily, "The president of the International Magical Association, the Magical Congress of the United States, the French Ministry of Magic, the Moscow Ministry of Magic..."

"You know and you don't know, everyone thinks that Dumbledore is suitable for staying at Hogwarts and sweating." Baldwin tilted his head and explained with a smile: "He is too strong and makes people scared. More importantly, He is so idealistic and yet able to act on it.”

Rogge opened his mouth, as if he wanted to refute, but finally swallowed what he wanted to say. He knew in his heart that if goblins and Muggles were allowed to collude, it might lead to unforeseen serious consequences.

At the same time, he also realized that other wizards could also think of this problem. He is not the only smart person in the global wizarding world. Compared to the so-called snake-man, Dumbledore is the gray rhinoceros that is feared and that no one can stop.

No one was willing to let the greatest white wizard of this century run rampant in his own territory, even knocking local Ministry of Magic officials to the ground.

If possible, they hope to turn Hogwarts into a prison similar to Nurmengard; they hope that Dumbledore can stay there to teach and educate people. If they could set a prison term, they wanted it to be infinite.

For this slightly dirty and despicable purpose, they even agreed to send Grindelwald to the Scottish Highlands. It would be best if the evil wizard named Voldemort could come back and lock Dumbledore firmly in the British Isles.

As for the outside world, what about those wandering goblins colluding with Muggles? In their eyes, this group of losers, even if they breed creatures like snakemen, are still inferior.

The worst outcome would be to trigger a global goblin rebellion. Two hundred years have passed since the last goblin rebellion, and this group of greedy goblins has made a lot of money again.

Wizards also love those sparkling, glowing gold galleons. But before that, maintaining one's status and power is the most important thing.

"My Lord Merlin, everyone wishes Dumbledore a happy life at Hogwarts." Baldwin said sincerely.

Rogge took a deep breath and complained helplessly: "Wizards need to abide by the law of confidentiality, but wandering goblins don't."

"This is the law of secrecy." Baldwin looked at Snape and shouted: "Severus, are you interested in visiting the No-Maj government's Dietrich Laboratory?"
