Connor's Hogwarts

"Great, I'm gradually understanding everything!"

In order to get Camilla's mind back on track, Connor showed her his new product, the Magic Pen.

Camilla couldn't put it down, and was addicted to painting for a while.

"Isn't this too comfortable? Connor, do you know how hard it was when my father forced me to learn to draw magic patterns when I was a child!? Now I can actually draw magic paintings just by picking up a brush, without having to think about it. The spell model...this is really...awesome!”

Connor glanced at Camilla's paintings, and found that she could draw well. Sure enough, Ivan was the best painter in the family, "How about it, does it feel much more convenient?"

"Yeah! Not only is it much more convenient, it's a subversive experience. In the future, wizards who have never learned how to draw magic will be able to draw magic paintings! No, even Squibs can draw!"

Camilla held the pen tightly and looked very excited. Then she suddenly thought of something. She was stunned and asked hesitantly: "But... Connor, if you plan to promote this kind of pen, Isn’t it true that everyone can use the core magic of our family? In this case..."

"Short-sighted! Short-sighted!" Connor patted the table and said, "It's just drawing magic, baby, what is it like, this wizarding world is dead because of your old-fashioned thinking!"

Camilla stuck out her tongue: "Actually, I don't really care about this, but Connor, did your grandfather agree to this matter?"

"I am the future patriarch! What do you think!?" Connor curled his lips: "And the core magic of our family is not simple painting magic but..."

Connor paused. It seems that the ancestor's painting world should not be discussed casually...

"...In short, this kind of card-level magic is no longer the core of our family. The kind of magic that can really leave the paper is the painting magic that needs to be kept secret."

"Oh, it seems so. Connor, the magic of Angel you created is obviously more powerful..."

"And only by promoting this magic pen can I be freed from the endless painting work! Before this, our card templates and advertising animations were basically all painted by me!! How much time was wasted on me! My time should not be wasted on this kind of manual labor! I want more painters to paint for me! The more, the better!" Connor said angrily, knocking on the table.

"..." Camilla felt as if she had discovered the truth.

"There are always limits to a person's ability. I alone cannot change the world. Now I feel a little powerless to develop Facebook alone. I know clearly that Facebook can do more things, but I But there is no way to take all aspects into consideration. We have now reached a bottleneck on Facebook..."

Camilla put down the pen in her hand with some confusion, tilted her head and asked: "Connor, why do I feel that you regard Facebook as more important than the Philosopher's Stone? I thought that our family's focus in the future was to go to the Philosopher's Stone." Side offset..."

Connor took a deep look at Camilla and said quietly: "Of course we have to grasp this with both hands, but if you insist on saying something more important... I really won't choose the Sorcerer's Stone."

"Why? There are obviously more possibilities in the application of the magic stone, right!? Just like those magic guns and magic missiles you mentioned before, they are things that can subvert the world..."

Connor raised his hand and interrupted Camilla, "The Philosopher's Stone can not only be used as weapons. The Philosopher's Stone represents the application of super-magic technology. It will create an era of magic. There is no doubt about it." Guide: Ultimate Magic

"Think about the Muggle world. Everything they can achieve with electricity, we can achieve with the magic energy in the Sorcerer's Stone. In the future, the Hogwarts Express will be a real magic train instead of the current one. We can also make magic steam trains, magic cars, magic ships, and magic planes..."

"Isn't that great?" Camilla's beautiful eyes widened: "That's amazing!"

"Not good! Not good at all!" Connor also gave Camilla a hard look, and said, "These are just the achievements of the Muggles after the second industrial revolution. What is there to be proud of? ?”

"Huh? What... what are you working on?" Camilla blinked in confusion.

"Camilla, we wizards are actually too far behind..." Connor sighed and said: "You know... well, let me tell you, Muggles divide the development of mankind into several eras. Such as the Stone Age, Copper, Bronze, Iron Age... During those times, we wizards were always the top group of people on the earth..."

Connor shook his index finger: "Then came the Dark Ages. With the split of the Holy See and the decline of the Roman Empire, the world ushered in darkness. It was an era when our wizards and Muggles were entangled... and then after that , the Wizarding Secrecy Act was signed in 1692, we can think that until this time, the dark age belonging to Muggles was over."

"Next, without the obstruction of our wizards, Muggles ushered in their dawn. Around 1716, the first industrial revolution began. It was their age of enlightenment..."

"We all know what happened later. The Muggles broke out completely. In just a few hundred years, they successively passed through the steam age, the electrical age, and the atomic age... They are still moving forward at an extremely fast speed. We are making progress, but look at us, where are we? Look at us wizards?"

"Our dark ages haven't even passed. We clumsily imitated the Muggles, making ridiculous steam trains, magic newspapers that we thought were very unique, and only learned to build factories for snacks and toys... .Even today I am still complacent about these so-called achievements!”

Camilla opened her mouth, wanting to say how embarrassing us wizards are.

"Do you think wizards are really great? Huh?" Connor tilted his head, and blocked what Camilla wanted to say.

"Do you think that wizards have extraordinary powers, they can take whatever they want from Muggles, and they can do whatever they want to them, but Muggles can't do anything to us. Do you think we are very powerful?"

Is not it?Camilla wanted to say this very much, but there was an inexplicable aura on Connor at this time, which made it impossible for her to say this.

"We wizards are indeed very powerful." Connor grinned, "We have magic power, how could we not be powerful? No one can deny this..."

"But, Camilla, answer me a question. Those things that we wizards can do now... hundreds of years ago, thousands of years ago, could we do it?"

Camilla froze on the spot, and she was covered in cold sweat without realizing it. She nodded with difficulty: "...Yes."

"Haha..." Connor crossed his arms and smiled: "The fact is that in the past thousand years, our wizarding world has made almost no progress. In fact, our era has always been stagnant, so I Say, we wizards have fallen far behind."

"We had a chance to move forward..." Connor took out a monster card from his pocket and threw it on the table: "This is a card produced by the factory. This is probably the steam of our wizarding world. Product of the times..."

Connor took out another newly produced magic card and threw it on the table: "Magic scroll, starting from this idea, we can make magic guns, magic cars, magic planes... Doesn't this look like Our electrical age?”

Connor took out a magic stone and pushed out: "Philosopher's Stone, this is our atomic age."

Then Connor pointed to Facebook, which had been lying on the table, and said, "This is our information age."

Camilla shook her dazed head: "In the information age?"

"Yes, this is the next era that Muggles are and are about to enter. In this era, they will master the great power called information... This is why I value Facebook... "

After Camilla slowly digested what Connor said, he took a deep breath and said: "Camilla, believe me, if we wizards continue to move forward with this sit-and-wait attitude, I can imagine , in the near future, Muggles who have mastered a large amount of information will no longer be the lambs we think of as being slaughtered... By that time, our identity will probably change..."

"Maybe in the future, we wizards will become guinea pigs in the laboratories of Muggle scientists. Just like those potion experiments we did on them hundreds of years ago, they will probably take revenge on us one by one. ..."

"Boom!" Camilla slammed the table and stood up. Her cool clothes were almost soaked and stuck tightly to her body. Connor calmly took a sip of tea without looking sideways.

"No...impossible...no way..." Camilla didn't want to believe the future that Connor said, but she couldn't convince herself that it was just a conjecture and that it was all true!That's definitely possible!At the rate Muggles are going, that terrifying future isn't even that far away!

Camilla felt dazed for a moment, as if she had lost her direction in life, and then she turned her attention to Connor, who was calmly drinking tea aside.

Connor was very satisfied with her reaction, nodded and said: "Now you know, our Lake family is not just doing business, right? We actually have the responsibility of our wizards on our shoulders. We are representing Wizards and Muggles are vying for the dominance of the next era!"

With a trembling in her body, Camilla realized that she gradually understood everything.

"So, Camilla, you should stop managing our magic cards with a casual attitude, understand?"

"I understand!"

Connor raised his glass and replaced the wine with tea: "In this era, we need to bear the burden and move forward."
