Hogwarts: Wizards of Eternity.

Chapter 26 The amazing wisdom of local wizards!
When Roger went to Professor McGonagall to verify the path to immortality, he shared some of his ideas.

Professor McGonagall knew that Roger was going to transform himself.

However, transforming other parts of the body and transforming the brain are two completely different things!
In Professor McGonagall's expectation, even if there was a problem with Roger's body transformation, St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries would be able to save him, and even if he wanted to transform his brain, it would be a long time in the future.

The more important the organ, the sooner it will be transformed. By that time, Roger should have grown into a powerful wizard who can be trusted.

"Blood Magic and Transfiguration - Guess of the Future Age" was lent to Roger by Professor McGonagall. She had also read that book, so she did not oppose Roger's path.

But now, starting brain modification in the first grade? This is too early!
and……

"Your transformation has nothing to do with immortality, right?" Professor McGonagall read the written report given by Roger.

Many problems are difficult to express in words alone, so before visiting Professor McGonagall, Roger documented his ideas for the experiments he was planning to conduct and wrote them down.

Roger shook his head: "Actually, there is some connection."

"Although I am a prophet, I am not omniscient. I know my own limitations."

"Professor, let's do a simple math problem."

"Assuming a wizard takes 1 time to learn a spell, and his life span is 100, then the number of spells he can learn in his lifetime can be easily calculated."

"Next, let's complicate this question a little bit. How long does it take him to absorb all the knowledge in a magic book? After he builds his own knowledge system, how much weight will he give to the efficiency of learning magic? How much time will he spend on other things in his life..."

"As long as we know how talented a wizard is and perfect the algorithm, we can roughly calculate what level of achievement a wizard is likely to achieve under ideal conditions and normal growth."

By the time Roger had finished speaking, Minerva McGonagall, who was so smart, could already tell what Roger wanted to say.

"You think..."

Roger nodded and continued, "After I really started my research on longevity, I did a rough calculation. If I continue to use low-risk magic experiments and grow normally, the probability that I can develop my own longevity technology before I am 90 years old is very high, but it is not 100%. This is not a lottery, it is a matter of my life! Even a 1% failure rate would be glaring to me!"

"And this is just a trivial longevity, not even the edge of eternal life!"

So, Roger chose to grow abnormally.

He chose the high-risk, high-reward path.

He chose a path that would increase his talent base.

"Why are you suddenly so anxious? You can't become fat in one bite. You said that yourself." Professor McGonagall roughly understood Roger's thoughts, but there were also some things she couldn't figure out.

It is natural for one to want to make some changes to increase the chances of success after truly starting to study magic and seeing through one's future.

But there’s no need to make such a big deal right from the start, right?

Professor McGonagall, who had no idea how outrageous Roger's prophetic ability was, looked at Roger in confusion.

"You can't get fat in one bite" means that I won't do the wrong thing in a mindless rush for quick success when I know it's impossible. I won't hesitate to move forward because of fear of failure when there is a possibility of progress.

Roger thought for a moment and said, "Professor, do you know what the world looks like in the eyes of a prophet?"

"Ok?"

"I can see many possibilities for the future, some good, some bad. There are great conflicts between different wizarding groups, like an unlit powder keg that could explode at any time due to a spark called the 'Devil'. The world we live in is developing at a high speed, and a collision between Muggle and wizard civilizations could happen at any time."

"What's more, although wizards are people who use magic, we don't know the nature of magic, which is a huge problem in itself."

"Also, remember what I said, Professor? The world is huge. There are nearly 4000 billion star systems in the Milky Way, and nearly 2 trillion galaxies like the Milky Way in the universe. According to calculations by Muggle scientists, there is a high probability that there is other life out there, so... do 'them' on the other side of the starry sky also have magic?" What Roger said was not a lie, nor was it groundless worry.

Although these were not predicted by him using his prophetic magical ability, Roger learned them using another "prophetic" method.

You know, until he traveled through time, sequels to Harry Potter were still being released, but Roger didn't pay much attention to them.

Logically speaking, isn't Voldemort defeated? The world is at peace, so what are the stories of the sequels, including movies, novels, stage plays, games, etc.?
Will there be a new villain besides Voldemort? Logically speaking, the new villain should not be weaker than Voldemort, right?

Theoretically speaking, the appearance of the 'enemies' mentioned by Roger is not completely impossible!
"'Accident' won't give me any extra preferential treatment just because of my age," Roger said.

After being shot seven times in the Middle East, Roger gave up the arrogant idea that he was the so-called destined man.

Seeing that Professor McGonagall was a little hesitant, Roger stopped persuading her and said, "Professor, if you are really embarrassed, then let's just leave it at that."

"Brain modification is just one of my ideas for becoming stronger. It's not the only way I can go."

He had no such idea before, but now that the desire to "enhance his talents" has been ignited, Roger, who has lived in the era of information explosion, has too many strange ways to become stronger in his mind. It would take him decades to try them one by one.

Brain modification is nothing more than the fact that one's life span is too short, so it is best to choose the one with the greatest possibility.

If the shortest path is not feasible, Roger still has many alternative routes. There is no need to fight to the death. Just change it.

The so-called shortest route nowadays is just calculated based on the existing technology at hand. Maybe other paths in the future actually have more potential?

"..." Looking at Roger's carefree smile, Professor McGonagall was speechless for a long time.

"...Roger."

"Well, what happened?"

"I will help you with the Traceless Stretching Spell."

Professor McGonagall then said, "However, I still think that directly modifying the brain is too risky... Do you know Muggle computers?"

"Eh?" Roger didn't know why Professor McGonagall suddenly brought this up.

"The documents you gave me said that you have mastered a technique to manipulate nerve cells to a certain extent. If you eliminate the need for increased mental power and only consider the need to make up for your insufficient memory and multi-threaded thinking, then why not try this direction?" Professor McGonagall's mouth curled up.

She has read all the books that Professor McGonagall lent to Roger!
Would adding a computer chip to the arm and connecting it to the nerves have a similar effect to the brain transformation that Roger envisioned?
She may not have Roger's talent or his vision for the future, but the concept of brain-computer link was already known in 1991.

How could a true magic master have no idea of how to become stronger? !
The theoretical works left by our predecessors and the replacement of ancient magic by modern magic have long proved that for thousands of years, wizards have never stopped trying to become stronger, but many times, their ideas could not be realized.

After all, not everyone can be like Roger, who can foresee crises, conduct 99.99 magic experiments with a mortality rate of up to 800% a day, and his scientific research progress is as fast as a rocket.

Every bit of innovation for ordinary wizards is difficult and slow.

"But computers of this era..." Roger frowned slightly. As someone who knew more about Muggle technology, he felt that this was not that simple.

"If Muggle computers aren't quite enough, why don't you look into some magical alchemy?"

Alchemy is a course that Hogwarts students are only eligible to take in their sixth year, and it involves extremely advanced magical knowledge.

Not only is it difficult, there are also a large number of knowledge barriers monopolized by various families, magic factories, and special organizations.

This was an area Roger had never ventured into.

And Professor McGonagall plans to lead Roger into this new 'world'!
