Hogwarts: Wizards of Eternity
#67 - The disaster has not disappeared, it has just moved.
“I believe that our joint efforts will bear fruit sooner or later, and that the people of all ethnic groups in our country will sooner or later live in a prosperous and democratic society.”
“I wish everyone all the best.”
The map-headed man's television speech ended, and Dumbledore and Roger were silent for a long time.
After a long time, Dumbledore murmured in a low voice: “...It's over.”
For the nearly 100-year-old wizard, he had witnessed the establishment, strength, and glory of this country bit by bit, allowing a brand-new possibility to appear in the direction of human civilization, and also witnessed its decay and depravity... And today, he witnessed its end.
Even for Dumbledore, it was a not-small shock to the soul.
After a while, Dumbledore took a long breath and said: “No matter what, the most terrible result did not happen, and the catastrophe did not come.”
As the greatest wizard in Britain in the twentieth century, his greatest achievement was to stop Grindelwald in the first place, and he was also a Muggle-sympathizing wizard who stood on the side of Muggles.
If the Cold War had turned into a hot war, it would have been a real world-destroying crisis.
On the surface, the power of nuclear bombs cannot completely destroy the human race, and humans still have a chance to rebuild civilization.
But in reality, that is not the case.
This is a world with magic. In the Middle Ages, not only did the Black Death take away a large number of people in Europe, but also the black magic creatures bred from despair also had quite fruitful 'battle results'.
Once a nuclear war occurs, God knows what monsters will be bred from the despair of humans who have revived civilization.
You must know that the current global population is many times greater than that of the Middle Ages when the Black Death raged!
“The catastrophe will not come? Not necessarily.” Roger shook his head.
After the end of World War II, in 1960, the average life expectancy in the Soviet Union was 70 years, while in the post-dissolution period, the average life expectancy was 58 years, which was close to Somalia's 56 years, a country with long-term anarchy and piracy. The living environment can be imagined.
The great looting of the Soviet legacy is about to begin.
The disaster has not disappeared, it has only changed from the people of the world bearing it to the people of the Soviet Union bearing it.
This catastrophe will not be very intense, but it will be very long.
The decline of the economy and the decline of the country's status.
A superpower has split into many small countries, and the entire region's geopolitics have changed.
Clearly, they were once a country and a nation, but in the future, they may even become enemies because of new international confrontations.
Not only the Muggle world.
The wizarding world is the same.
Since the signing of the International Statute of Secrecy, there has been an unwritten rule in the wizarding world.
The division of the wizarding forces' territory is based on the national boundaries of the Muggles.
The Ministry of Magic over there must also be in great trouble.
In the end, I don’t know how it will end.
I think that many eyes that were originally focused on the Middle East will shift their attention to the other side, and Dumbledore will be much more relaxed when dealing with Statute of Secrecy issues.
“What do you mean?” Roger's identity as a Seer made Dumbledore care about his sigh.
Could it be that the dissolution is not the end of everything?
Regarding this, Roger didn't reveal too much, but simply talked about what might happen in the next few years after the dissolution.
Dumbledore frowned as he listened.
“Is there no way?”
The Seer's 'spoiler' made Dumbledore feel a little physiologically uncomfortable.
“Do you want to stop the general trend of the times?”
“The last one who thought so was Voldemort, and the one before that, you are more familiar with.” Roger said meaningfully.
Since ancient times, people who go against the tide of the times rarely end well.
Roger believed that Dumbledore should have a deep understanding of this.
Unless... your individual strength can overturn the torrent jointly chosen by all beings!
Dumbledore clenched his fists, then released them a few seconds later.
Although he is known as the greatest wizard in modern Britain, he always has to accept the fact that he is 'weak'.
His individual strength cannot change anything, and a wizard's strength cannot turn the world upside down.
Whether it was Voldemort or Grindelwald, they only started doing big things after gathering their forces.
Voldemort was able to gather a group of madmen, and Grindelwald was able to have elites who believed that wizards were superior to others follow him.
What about himself? Would members of the Order of the Phoenix be willing to get involved in this crisis that has nothing to do with wizards because of his slight kindness towards Muggles?
Even if they were willing, should he take them, who are already living a stable life, into this muddy water?
Moreover, perhaps his intervention as a wizard would not bring salvation, but would bring another, even greater disaster.
After thinking about it in his mind, Dumbledore calmed down his mood, which had been shaken by the drastic changes in the world situation.
Looking at the calmed-down Dumbledore, Roger continued: “What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun.”
“Don’t think too much, in the future, human suffering will eventually be staged again countless times, unless…”
“Humanity becomes non-human.”
With that, Roger placed the notebook he had been carrying in his hand into Dumbledore's palm.
《Three-Dimensional Theory》
“If human beings evolve into a higher level of life, and the underlying logic of thinking and various abilities undergo major changes, perhaps everything will have another direction.”
In Roger's view, as long as the human mind does not undergo fundamental changes, any changes in systems, laws, and rules are just a change of soup but not the ingredients. Because, no matter what you set the rules to be, they have to be implemented by people, and in the end, they will become the way 'people' are.
Whether it is the current Soviet Union, the future United States, or even all the powerful countries that will be born in the more distant future, even if it can be strong enough to unify the world, it will eventually bow down to the greed in human nature.
The strongest fortress is always broken from within.
Knowing the rise and fall from history, how did those extremely powerful dynasties in China fall? It's nothing more than that.
If you want to change everything, on the one hand, you need to change human nature, and on the other hand, you need to change the productive forces and relations of production, and the answer to both is... evolution!
Taking the book, Dumbledore looked at Roger's face without comment.
Everyone has their own answer as to how the world can become better, and Dumbledore has no interest in arguing with Roger about this.
It's still the same sentence, what you say is not important, what you do is important.
The bald man also had a dream of everyone being like a dragon, but his final approach was to sterilize the disabled and 'inferior races'. The old Americans in 1924 also did similar things.
Therefore, compared to Roger's views, he is more concerned about what Roger might do in the future.
And what Roger will do in the future...
Dumbledore carefully opened the book in his hand.
