- Chapter 154 Kunlun will never stand still
In Grete’s opinion, wizards as a group should always remain advanced.
Because most of the trivial matters in daily life can be reasonably replaced by magic.
An ordinary Muggle family would give up work and sleep time, and only have a few hours available to them in a day.
But even in these few hours, a large part of it is consumed by trivial matters in life.
Cooking, laundry, cleaning, any trivial task will consume hours of time.
Therefore, most Muggles have their edges smoothed out by the repetitive life day after day.
In order to live, I can only give up the ideals I once dreamed of achieving.
Or, in a life where you can see everything at a glance, you become numb.
Of course, this is still the state of ordinary Muggles.
If you take into account the number of people at the bottom, which is not a large number, it would be even more sad.
Just like little Vera, she goes out early and comes back late every day, not for anything else, just to survive.
In this state where you have exhausted all your energy to live, how can you have other time to recharge yourself and become a better version of yourself.
Dreams, for those at the bottom, are just an elusive dream.
They have no life, all they have is a pitiful, humble existence in the dust.
Only when I dream back in the middle of the night, I imagine that maybe I can live in a world where I can live well and not have to run around for survival.
It’s different when it comes to wizards, even the weakest wizards.
As long as he has magic power and has learned magic spells, his living situation will be superior, but as a wizard, there will basically be no intractable famine.
After all, Gretel had never heard of a wizard dying of starvation.
The basic necessities of life for a wizard include food, clothing, housing, and transportation.
They have much more free time than Muggles.
The magic spell takes care of the trivial matters in life, and supposedly they can spend more time exploring the world.
Or develop something that interests you and fulfill your dreams.
But what?
A race that should be at the forefront of the world is not. To Gretel, wizards are a special profession among humans.
It’s just that the prerequisites for this profession are a little more difficult.
But just like in the Muggle world, genius is always extremely rare.
Compared with the one-in-a-million genius among Muggles, the probability of a wizard appearing has reached one in a thousand.
It’s considered rare, but not precious.
Ordinarily, such a profession should not only carry the world forward, but at least maintain its own advancement.
However, since Muggles opened up their wisdom, wizards have basically made little progress.
People who were only considered excellent in the past era have become geniuses in modern times.
It’s hard to say how the wizard got to this point step by step.
Just like the magic spell Gretel learned, the oldest magic, the last revision was even pushed back several centuries ago.
The old flying broomstick they have ridden for countless generations.
But I never considered changing.
They have been immersed in the glory of the past, even if they were ostracized and persecuted by Muggles, they did not realize that as the most advanced group in the world, they were already losing their competitiveness.
Finally one day, the wizards discovered that Muggles had grown beyond their reach. Even so, this group did not become wary of danger in times of peace.
Nestled in a corner of the mountainous area, not only did not embrace the progress of the Muggles, but instead pursued and blocked the creations of the Muggles as if they were guarding against a scourge.
Arthur Weasley, head of the Department for the Prohibition of Misuse of Muggle Artefacts at the British Ministry of Magic, was also fined fifty gold galleons because his son drove away his enchanted car.
If their family hadn’t won the grand prize of seven hundred gold galleons, the Weasley family, who were already living a tight budget, would have declared bankruptcy because of these fifty gold galleons.
He is also a Director, one of his own who has worked at the Ministry of Magic for many years.
He is still like this. If it were any other ordinary wizard, he might not be punished for this.
After coming into contact with the magical world, Gretel could feel this sense of disobedience everywhere.
It seems that wizards are not interested in social progress. From top to bottom, almost everyone is immersed in the afterglow of the empire.
Maintaining this strange and harmonious calm, Gretel didn’t feel that sentence at all in the magical world. The only constant was the never-ending change.
The magical world is like a pool of stagnant water. Even if anyone wants to cause any disturbance, they will first be dragged into the deep darkness by the shadows hidden in the pool.
In the end, only the ripples that made it possible to guess what might have happened here.
Therefore, even after Shuguang started to fully recruit people, it did not allow any old antiques to come here.
Ships in the new world do not need remnants of the old era to tell them what to do.
A single-minded pursuit of change is the unified state of everyone in Shuguang.
Grete had communicated with Seni and imagined what the world would be like on the day when Dawn’s great cause was completed.
At that time, Seni attributed all the credit to Grete.
He said that without Gretel, they would not have awakened, and perhaps would have felt confused at some point.
However, in the end, like our ancestors for generations, after a brief rise, they fell silent again.
Gretel was like a sudden spark, bringing a glimmer of light into the darkness.
Every time I heard Seni say this, Grete always felt that he was exaggerating.
There is no need to have a cult of personality. This is what Grete never tires of saying every time he hears someone bragging about himself.
Grete felt that maybe the general environment was sinking, but for these people who had joined the Dawn since early in the morning, their progress was not solely based on themselves.
I just gave them a fantasy, a fantasy that created a new era of freedom.
Grete thought that even without him, this group of people would never be content with the status quo.
Just like Arthur Weasley, who works for the Ministry of Magic, but does not stop his love of studying Muggle-related things.
Muggle technology, culture, everything fascinated him.
Others thought it was deviant, but Grete knew that this was the true wizard mentality.
Instead of thinking about those people who have been domesticated by the stagnant water, just muddle along and consume the remaining lives.
Once upon a time, Gretel felt that the magical world was hopeless.
Even with Shuguang’s current development, it seems to be getting better and better.
But Gretel still didn’t have much confidence. After all, the number of Muggles was a thousand times that of wizards.
It is difficult to bring the magical world to the bright future imagined by just relying on their few people.
Only by allowing more people to recognize their ideas and take action can there be any possibility of pushing the wheel of the times forward.
Great careers are never achieved overnight.
Even if they fail in the end, Grete still feels that it is necessary to do something, at least to let more people see the light.
Perhaps one day, latecomers will dig out their ideas from the dusty history and rekindle new light.
Lead the wizarding world forward so that wizards no longer have to linger in the shadows.
…
Grete has never concealed his thoughts. He is a core member of Dawn and has grown up with him until now.
Everyone knows that the future must be bright, but they may not be able to see it.
But it is precisely because of this kind of psychological construction that they are able to devote all their strength without reservation.
As the saying goes, maybe if I work harder and do more, the light will be closer to us earlier.
This was Gretel’s previous thoughts. He was firm yet fragile, full of ideals, yet often gloomy.
But no matter what, he never thought of giving up at any time.
It’s different now, because of Kunlun.
It wasn’t because of Kunlun’s strength, but because Gretel finally knew that it was not just them who were working hard in this world.
Kunlun has never fallen.
Even when wizards all over the world chose to lie down in the mud, the people of Kunlun still firmly maintained their belief in moving forward.
In the collection of books copied from Kunlun, Gretel saw a person who, even though he was strong enough, was still not lying flat.
In Kunlun’s library, there are many more records related to Muggles than those from the wizarding world.
Society, religion, culture, military and political affairs, everything can be seen here.
But when Gretel was in England, he wanted to find these things and asked wizards to disguise themselves and sneak into Muggle libraries to copy them.
Beyond that, Kunlun has never stopped updating their spells.
Here, it is rare to see a curse that has not changed for more than ten years.
Maybe, but those curses are so old that they can’t be corrected.
They have modified hundreds of versions of the magic of shrinking the ground into an inch since ancient times.
That is to say, these times are evenly distributed throughout history. Every ten years or so, someone will have a flash of inspiration and exhaust their energy to push this spell forward.
No wonder Kunlun can become the holy land of the magical world. If everyone is in such a proactive state, how can they fall behind others.
Maybe in modern times, they don’t seem that advanced, and they may even be a little backward.
But Grete believes that even without them, Kunlun will be able to overtake in corners one day.
Probably because he is an Oriental at heart, Gretel became unusually optimistic after meeting these compatriots in soul.
Even integrating Kunlun’s unique spells into his own magic system is not smooth.
None of it affected Gretel’s good mood.
It is not a simple matter to integrate two almost different systems of magic.
It’s like oil and water don’t mix.
One relies on its own magic power, and the other relies on the ubiquitous magic particles.
Unlike Gretel’s own state, Kunlun’s call for magic particles opened another door for Gretel.
In the past, Gretel has been groping, trying to let people around him master the application of magic particles.
This can greatly improve their combat effectiveness.
However, not everyone can control magic particles.
Kunlun’s unique meditation only made them vaguely aware of it, and gradually strengthened this feeling.
They call it spiritual practice, or enlightenment.
While rushing on the road, he temporarily gave up controlling the magic particles at will like in the past.
People who learn from Kunlun use their spiritual sense to sense the ubiquitous but traceless magic particles.
Try to get them to respond to your call.
Gretel must do it and then teach it to Dawn’s companions.
Kunlun’s training system starts from childhood. The unique philosophy of the East makes their thinking very different from that of the West.
But in Shuguang, the youngest member is now sixteen or seventeen years old, and has missed the best time to build his mind. .
Therefore, he must use Western thinking to try to follow the path of Kunlun and find a practical solution.
This question is difficult, but the difficulty is limited. After all, he has conditions that Kunlun does not have.
He can materialize magic particles.
Sensing physical objects is easier and more convenient than sensing nothingness.
In this way, while driving and groping along the road, as we approached America, we could already see a fleet of ships gradually gathering on the sea.
Gretel has successfully shrunk to an inch and merged with his own magic particle state.
In the past, it would have taken a lot of time for him to travel around the world. Now, relying on the folding of space, he can go anywhere with just a thought.
In addition to this, Gretel also relied on this space spell to modify his own portal by analogy.
Make it more stable.
The solidified magic particles can maintain the stability of space very well.
At least, the inanimate body that was teleported no longer had the miserable condition of being covered in bruises.
On this point, Gretel will have to lead the research institute to conduct experiments after returning to modern times.
If there are breakthroughs in both theory and practice, Gretel can start preparing for implementation.
Although it cannot be exposed yet, it does not affect Sugon’s internal priority use.
Just like the original Magic Phone, core members like them tried it out for a period of time before it was launched on the market.
If it turns out that everything goes well and remains stable without being disturbed, then Gretel can start building real Dawn branches around the world.
After all, as long as there is a portal, a branch and a headquarters, the only difference is the name.
Even at that time, the local Ministry of Magic wanted to strangle the newly emerging branch.
They can also quickly evacuate to a safe place through the portal.
Or, the headquarters begins to invade the territory with troops and directly uses iron-blooded methods to let Dawn control a few more Ministry of Magic.
When he thought of this, Grete couldn’t wait.
He wanted to quickly find the copper ring that was in dire straits somewhere in America at this time.
Once everything is settled, he can return to 1996 without any worries.
