Connor's Hogwarts

“Great, I’m starting to understand everything!”

In order to get Camilla's thoughts back on track, Connor showed her his new product [Magic Pen].

Camilla couldn't put it down and was obsessed with painting.

"Isn't this too comfortable? Connor, do you know how hard it was when my father forced me to learn to draw magic patterns when I was a child!? Now I can actually draw magic paintings just by picking up a brush, without having to think about it. Spell model. This is really awesome!"

Connor took a look at Camilla's paintings and found that she was actually quite good at painting. As expected, the best painter in the family was Ivan. "How is it? Does it feel a lot more convenient?"

"Hmm! Not only is it much more convenient, it is simply a revolutionary experience. In the future, wizards who have never learned how to draw magic can also draw magic paintings! No, even squibs can draw them!"

Camilla held the pen tightly and looked very excited. Then she suddenly thought of something. She was stunned and asked hesitantly: "But Connor, if you plan to promote this kind of pen, our family will Isn’t it true that everyone can use the core magic? In that case.”

"Short-sighted! Short-sighted!" Connor patted the table and said, "It's just a drawing of magic. It's nothing like a baby. This wizarding world is dead because of your old-fashioned ideas!"

Camilla stuck out her tongue: "Actually, I don't really care about this, but Connor, did your grandfather agree to this?"

"I am the future patriarch! What do you think!?" Connor curled his lips: "And the core magic of our family is not simple painting magic."

Connor paused. It seems that the ancestor's painting world should not be discussed casually.

"...In short, this kind of card-level magic is no longer the core of our family. The kind of magic that can truly leave the paper is the painting magic that needs to be kept secret."

"Oh, it seems so. Connor, the magic you created with Angel is obviously more powerful."

"And only by promoting this [magic pen] can I be freed from the endless drawing work! Before this, our card templates and advertising animations were all drawn by me alone!! How much time wasted on me Kung Fu! My time should not be wasted on this kind of manual labor! I want more painters to paint for me! The more, the better!" Connor said angrily, knocking on the table.

"." Camilla felt as if she had discovered the truth.

"There are always limits to a person's ability. I alone cannot change the world. Now I feel a little powerless to develop Facebook alone. I know clearly that Facebook can do more things, but I But there is no way to take all aspects into consideration, and we have now reached a bottleneck on Facebook."

Camilla put down the pen in her hand with some confusion, tilted her head and asked: "Connor, why do I feel that you regard Facebook as more important than the Philosopher's Stone? I thought that our family's focus in the future was to go to the Philosopher's Stone." Side offset”

Connor took a deep look at Camilla and said quietly: "Of course we have to grasp this with both hands, but if you insist on saying something more important, I really won't choose the Sorcerer's Stone."

"Why? Obviously there are more possibilities in the application of the magic stone, right!? Just like those magic guns and magic missiles you mentioned before, they are things that can subvert the world."

Connor raised his hand and interrupted Camilla, "The Philosopher's Stone can not only be used as a weapon. The Philosopher's Stone represents the application of super-magic technology. It will usher in an era of magic. There is no doubt about this." ( Magic: The Ultimate Magic)

"Think about the Muggle world. Everything they can achieve with electricity, we can achieve with the magic energy in the Sorcerer's Stone. In the future, the Hogwarts Express will be a real magic train instead of the current one. We can also make magic steam trains, magic cars, magic ships, and magic planes."

"Isn't that great?" Camilla's beautiful eyes widened: "That's so amazing!"

"No! Not good at all!" Connor also glared at Camilla and said, "These are just the achievements of Muggles after the second industrial revolution. What is there to be proud of? ?”

"Huh? What are you talking about?" Camilla blinked in confusion.

"Camilla, we wizards are actually too far behind." Connor sighed and said, "You know, let me tell you, Muggles divide human development into several eras, such as stone tools, red copper, The Bronze and Iron Ages. During those times, we wizards were always the top group of people on the planet."

Connor shook his index finger: "Then came the Dark Ages. With the split of the Holy See and the decline of the Roman Empire, the world ushered in darkness. That was the era when our wizards and Muggles were entangled. And then after that, the Wizarding Secrecy Act of 1692 By signing, we can consider that the Dark Ages that belonged to Muggles until this time are over."

"Next, without the 'obstruction' of our wizards, Muggles ushered in their dawn. In the 18th century, the first industrial revolution began. It was their [Age of Enlightenment]."

"We all know what happened later. The Muggles broke out completely. In just a few hundred years, they successively passed through the steam age, the electrical age, and the atomic age. They are still advancing at an extremely fast speed. But look, where are we? Look where are we wizards?"

"Our dark ages haven't even passed. We have even begun to imitate the Muggles clumsily, making ridiculous steam trains, magic newspapers that we think are very unique, and only learning to build factories for snacks and toys. .Even today I am still complacent about these so-called achievements!”

Camilla opened her mouth and wanted to say how could we wizards be so embarrassed.

"Do you think wizards are really amazing? Huh?" Connor tilted his head and blocked what Camilla wanted to say.

"Do you think wizards have extraordinary power and can take away from Muggles and do whatever they want to them, but Muggles can't do anything to us? Do you think we are very powerful?"

Is not it? Camilla wanted to say this, but there was an inexplicable aura in Connor at this time, which made it impossible for her to say this.

"We wizards are indeed very powerful." Connor grinned, "We have magic power, how could we not be powerful? No one can deny this."

"But, Camilla, answer me a question - could we have done the things that we wizards can do now hundreds of years ago, thousands of years ago?"

Camilla froze on the spot, and she was covered in cold sweat without realizing it. She nodded with difficulty: "Yes."

"Haha." Connor crossed his arms and smiled: "The fact is that in the past thousand years, our wizarding world has made almost no progress. In fact, our era has always been stagnant, so I said, We wizards have fallen far behind."

"We had a chance to move forward." Connor took out a monster card from his pocket and threw it on the table: "This is a card produced by a factory. This is probably the [Steam Age] of our wizarding world." product."

Connor took out another newly produced magic card and threw it on the table: "Magic scroll, starting from this idea, we can make magic guns, magic cars, and magic planes. Doesn't this look like ours?" Electric Age]?”

Connor took out a magic stone and pushed it out: "Philosopher's Stone, this is our [Atomic Age]."

Then Connor pointed to Facebook, which had been lying on the table, and said, "This is our [Information Age]."

Camilla shook her dazed head: "Information age?"

"Yes, this is what Muggles are and are about to enter. The next era. In this era, they will master the great power called [information]. This is why I value Facebook."

After Camilla slowly digested what Connor said, he took a deep breath and said: "Camilla, believe me, if we wizards continue to move forward with this sit-and-wait attitude, I can imagine , in the near future, Muggles who have mastered a large amount of [information] will no longer be the lambs we think of as slaughtered by others. At that time, our identity will probably change."

"Maybe in the future, we wizards will become guinea pigs in the laboratories of Muggle scientists. Just like those potion experiments we did on them hundreds of years ago, they will probably take revenge on us one by one. .”

"Bang!" Camilla slammed the table and stood up. Her cool clothes were almost soaked and clung tightly to her body. Connor calmly took a sip of tea without looking away.

"No. It's impossible." Camilla didn't want to believe the future that Connor said, but she couldn't convince herself that it was just a conjecture and that it was all true! That's definitely something that could happen! According to the terrifying development rate of Muggles, that terrible future is not even too far away!

Camilla felt confused for a moment, as if she had lost her direction in life, and then she turned her attention to Connor, who was calmly drinking tea on the side. Obviously before today, she thought her nephew was a cute little boy, but now But she could only hope that he could give her some guidance...

Connor was very satisfied with her reaction, nodded and said: "Now you know that our Lake family is not just doing business, right? We actually also have the responsibility of our wizards on our shoulders. We are representing Wizards and Muggles are competing for dominance in the next era!"

As her body trembled, Camila realized, and she gradually understood everything.

"So, Camilla, you should stop operating our magic cards with a casual mentality, do you understand?"

"I see!"

Connor pursed his lips and smiled, then raised his glass and replaced the wine with tea: "In this era, we need to bear the burden and move forward."
