Hogwarts: Wizards of Eternity

Beings with high intelligence naturally create divisions of "us" and "them."

Skin color, gender, region, belief, status, class——

Clearly of the same origin, people always like to use various methods to divide into small circles, and then step on each other.

Trampling others underfoot seems to have become a kind of rigid demand.

Wizards treat merpeople, centaurs, house-elves, and other creatures in this way.

So, when they realized that Muggles, with the progress of technological civilization, would comprehensively surpass wizarding civilization.

Many people panicked.

From Grindelwald to Voldemort, the rise of both was not accidental. They were not lone wolves acting alone; they were leaders of a certain spirit.

Wizards first!

A large number of wizards followed them. The failure of the two, rather than saying that justice defeated evil.

Perhaps it is more appropriate to say that conservative ideas defeated radical ideas.

But ideas cannot be killed.

Even if setbacks are encountered, as long as the external social conditions do not change, reality will repeat itself again and again.

But now.

The social situation has changed!

Starting with this press conference!

Looking up, Rita Skeeter, who walked into the room, looked at the podium.

Sitting in the center of the podium was their Minister of Magic, Cornelius Fudge. Roger Virgil sat to Fudge's left.

Although sitting in the side seat, before the press conference even started, both the officials on the stage and the wizards off the stage were focusing their attention on Roger.

Some people, no matter where they are, will become the focus. - Rita Skeeter suddenly remembered this sentence.

She turned her head and found that the young wizard named Tom, who had come in with her, was also intently looking at Roger, but the look in his eyes seemed a little complicated.

She thought this didn't look like the gaze one should have upon meeting for the first time.

So she immediately seized the opportunity: "Tom, have you met that seer before?"

Being good at discovering all valuable information is also a basic quality that a reporter should have.

"Sort of."

"I have had some seemingly nonexistent interactions with him," Tom replied casually.

Ah?

Tom's words made Rita Skeeter a little confused. What kind of interaction is called seemingly nonexistent?

Although she felt inexplicable, she grasped the key point, that is, this seemingly young wizard really knew Roger?

She had seen some wizards who spoke incoherently in her years as a reporter.

Magic is a complex subject. There are many people who drive themselves crazy by doing magic.

Rita Skeeter knew how to communicate with such people: "I didn't expect you to actually know such a big shot.

It's really enviable."

"You said earlier that the world is going to be turned upside down. Is there any inside information?"

Everyone has a desire to share. Rita Skeeter tried to arouse his desire to confide.

Keeping secrets is a quality possessed by very few people. Most people can't keep things to themselves, and their mouths are as loose as the waistband of cotton pants.

The emotions brewing in his heart were disturbed. Tom glared at Rita and said, "The press conference is about to start soon. You'll know then."

.. Tsk.

Looking at Tom's micro-expressions, Rita Skeeter knew that her prediction of Tom's character had some errors.

He looks gentle, but he is a temperamental person.

Muttering a few words in her heart, before Rita Skeeter could fine-tune her next plan and continue to get close to Tom.

Fudge began to speak. The press conference began!

This is an official event led by the Ministry of Magic.

Naturally, the top leader has to say some polite words at the beginning.

Although Roger's words were more effective than Fudge's, whether in terms of strength or certain invisible status.

But after all, Fudge is the nominal leading figure in British politics.

Of course, Fudge is also a very sensible person. He knows who the wizards below are here for.

Everyone is more concerned about what.

He naturally wouldn't do anything annoying.

After showing off his presence, he quickly left the center of the stage to today's protagonist.

"Hello everyone, I am Roger Virgil. I think everyone should have a general understanding of me. I won't waste time introducing myself."

"Thank you, Minister Fudge, for taking the time to attend this press conference and deliver the opening speech."

"I am young and don't understand some of the intricacies, so let's get straight to the point and talk about the things that everyone cares about."

Roger, as always, didn't like to beat around the bush and talk nonsense.

At the beginning, Roger roughly described the plans he would be carrying out next.

Simply put, Roger will sell the virtual reality device client at a low price, almost at cost.

With the addition of the alchemist Nicolas Flamel, the production cost and production difficulty of Roger's virtual reality client have been greatly reduced after technical optimization.

And now, because of Roger, the British wizarding world and the German wizarding world also have in-depth cooperation.

In addition to Dumbledore's face, as long as Roger says a word, he can easily mobilize the alchemical resources of the two magical worlds.

The population of the wizarding society is not very large. The entire United Kingdom adds up to less than a million.

Roger's current production capacity can probably complete the popularization of virtual reality to the entire British wizard in half a year.

In addition to these basic things, Roger also talked about some other content.

For example, regulations on the use of virtual reality.

"I hope everyone can regard virtual reality as a convenient tool."

"Instead of something more exaggerated." Roger said this at this time to lay the groundwork for the future implementation of the anti-addiction mechanism.

"Everyone——"

Roger's narration continued, but the people below obviously didn't take Roger's warning to heart.

In their opinion, this is just like parents warning their children not to be addicted to games, smelly, long, and boring.

They are more concerned about another question.

After Roger finished speaking, the next step was the Q\u0026A session. Roger randomly called on one person.

The young wizard who was called up asked the question that everyone was most concerned about: "Director Roger, may I ask whether the mind acceleration function of virtual reality will continue to improve in the future?"

On this occasion, it is natural to call Roger's Ministry of Magic position.

This question is crucial, or rather, most of the wizards present, except for the reporters, wanted to know the answer as soon as possible, so they came here in person.

Roger's next answer will determine whether wizarding civilization should continue to be "nervous"!

If the mind acceleration of the virtual world can continue to improve, then wizarding civilization will gain far more development time than Muggle civilization.

Next, the wizards only need to lie dormant and quietly wait for the moment to amaze the world.

Muggles and wizards, the offensive and defensive momentum, change also!

"Of course it can be improved," Roger casually gave the answer.

"7x speed is far from the limit of virtual reality."

In an instant, there was an uproar among the wizards below!

The wizard who was called up couldn't help but ask: "Then what is the highest? What is the highest possible thinking rate?"
