Hogwarts: Wizards of Eternity.

Chapter 181 Ministry of Magic Press Conference
"Rita Skeeter, this matter is very special. There is no room for you to 'play'. Complete the task well and don't let me down."

"Yes." Rita Skeeter bowed her head respectfully.

Her shoulder-length golden curly hair was neatly styled, and she was wearing a beautiful formal dress, with none of her usual playful and annoying appearance.

Some guys who seem annoying but are doing well are often very good at pleasing those above them and arrogant to those below them.

They will do everything they can to flatter those who hold their jobs, and will never reveal the other side of their character.

Rita Skeeter is a special correspondent for the Daily Prophet. Strictly speaking, she is not on the staff, but if she offends the bigwigs in the news industry, just one word can mean that her articles will not be accepted by any British wizarding media.

She has always been cautious about things that could really hurt herself.

Looking at her expression, the person who spoke nodded: "Okay, go ahead."

Rita Skeeter saluted again and left the room.

.

.

The distinctive flames of the Floo Network rose in the fireplace, and Rita Skeeter arrived at the British Ministry of Magic.

She was very familiar with this place. The big news in the wizarding world basically focused on politics and those powerful wizards.

Glancing around, he saw many familiar faces among the people coming and going, including reporters from various newspapers and wizards of some fame. Obviously, they were the same as him.

Either they were invited or they took the initiative to attend this "press conference".

Rita Skeeter pushed up her jeweled glasses, her eyes rolled around, and a playful smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

She quietly pulled out her automatic recording feather pen from her bosom, took two steps at a time, and approached a well-mannered wizard.

She liked this kind of elegant wizard. Facing this kind of wizard, even if she published some irrelevant gossip or fabricated some eye-catching things, there would be no serious consequences.

Rita Skeeter doesn't understand what it means to be a gentleman but she is a master at it.

This press conference is an important occasion for Roger Virgil, one of the most prestigious prophets in the UK today and director of the Virtual Reality Technology Management Office, to announce new achievements to the public.

As a journalist, she had already sensed something unusual from some rumors.

Rita Skeeter was sure that if she dared to mess around under such circumstances, not only would she lose her job, but her life would be in danger.

But she is a person who cannot calm down and wants to take advantage of every opportunity to gain benefits for herself.

and so……

"Hello, I'm Rita Skeeter, a special correspondent for the Daily Prophet."

"Excuse me, are you here for the press conference as well?" Rita Skeeter approached with a seemingly friendly smile.

There was no way to create any excitement at the press conference, but she felt that she should be able to squeeze out some interesting news from the people attending the conference.

There are no journalistic principles in the wizarding world, and there is no pursuit of factual reporting here.

As long as there is contact, she has plenty of ways to make up something "shocking".

"what?"

"Yes." The gentle wizard was slightly stunned when he saw Rita Skeeter suddenly approaching him and talking to him.

"May I ask what your name is..."

“……” The wizard was silent for a moment.

Then he said, "Tom." This name sounds very common. If you shout it out on the street, maybe several people will turn around.

Rita Skeeter looked at his elegant appearance and thought about his name briefly, but could not find the corresponding person in her memory.

Probably a little-known guy.

But not everyone can come to the Prophet's press conference. I guess this person is a relative of some important person.

Although she had some guesses in her mind, since the other party did not directly tell her the last name, Rita Skeeter did not ask rashly.

She has to eat one bite at a time and gain trust bit by bit. She still has these basic professional qualities.

"Tom, what do you think of what's going to be announced at this press conference?" Rita Skeeter did not stop.

Instead, he walked towards the elevator with Wizard Tom and asked in a chatty tone on the way.

"I heard that this time it seems to be something extraordinary?" She tried to change the subject.

Although Rita Skeeter could make up something without any professional ethics, she still wanted a little "reality" if possible.

After all, if a false lie is examined carefully, the flaws can be easily found.

But if some big shot really said something outrageous and was caught by me, then the loss would be more than just the news fee.

If you are lucky and have some secrets, you can eat other people's food for a lifetime!

Of course, this requires a sustainable approach of exhausting all resources. If you push people too hard, you will not end up well either.

Rita Skeeter was a measured person and knew what to do if she really had the chance.

"Massive interactive virtual reality." Wizard Tom murmured.

“It’s really amazing.”

"If nothing unexpected happens, the world will soon be turned upside down."

He didn't know about the second magic power, but just a very large-scale, high-density information exchange network was terrifying enough in itself.

Not to mention the thought acceleration technology involved.

If used well, it can almost double the peak period of human thinking.

Whether they are scientists or wizards.

The vast majority of them achieved the greatest results of their lives in their youth.

The human body and mind begin to decline in function after reaching middle age.

This is inevitable.

Roger's technology will bring about a revolution, and everyone who attended the press conference agreed with this.

It’s just that everyone has different opinions on the specific direction of the change and what it will look like.

Apart from people from the press, most of the wizards who came to attend the press conference wanted to get the answers they expected from Roger, the prophet.

Although Voldemort was defeated more than a decade ago, the saying goes.

It is easy to break the mountain, but it is difficult to break the heart.

Any wizard who is not blind can see the trend of the Muggles' strong rise.

Despite the strong sense of crisis, some ideas have not been completely extinguished.

According to the original destiny, after Voldemort's comeback, he would receive a lot of support instead of becoming a rat crossing the street, which fully explains the situation!
And now, those who had such thoughts seemed to vaguely see hope!
