Hogwarts: I'm just here to enjoy the magic

"it's not true."

The old man shook his head slightly.

"We just came to take a look and make an assessment. If we want to elaborate, the main thing is to see if you are a dangerous person and whether what you did is harmful."

"Oh?" Jack found it interesting, "What kind of standard is it?"

Whether it is dangerous or harmful, if there is no standard of judgment, wouldn’t it just come by just opening one’s mouth?

"The requirements are not high, as long as what you do does not have a negative impact on others." The old man answered quickly.

When Jack heard this, he frowned immediately.

That's too broad.

What does it mean that it won’t cause adverse effects to others?

Some things, although beneficial to most people, are detrimental to some people.

For example, the Three Gorges Dam will be built in the future.

Even the most sane people would not dare to say that this thing is [-]% beneficial to everyone.

Perhaps seeing Jack's doubts, the old man added: "Generally speaking, as long as you don't commit crimes such as burning, killing, looting, trapping, kidnapping, etc., you won't alert the Central Military Commission.

The state has its own laws, and every family has its own rules, that's all. "

"I see." Jack generally understood.

He was just curious.

Are the two people in front of me pretty easy to talk to?

It's completely different from before.

After thinking about it, I decided to ask.

"Strange to say, I met you two just now." Jack stared at the old man, "They call themselves cultivators and want to talk to me. But... the communication was not very pleasant, and something happened between them. conflict."

Said, shrugged.

"In the end, they turned into bugs and I got rid of them. Only a few were left as trophies."

"Insect?" The old man frowned, "Can you let me see that insect?"

"Of course." Jack nodded, "Wait a moment."

After saying that, he apparated back to the room.

After taking the jar, he apparated back.

As soon as he appeared, he saw the girl's sparkling eyes: "Wow, are you shrunk to an inch? Or are you so close to the end of the world?"

Jack didn't answer and just handed the bug to the old man.

At the same time, he was also observing the other party's expression.

The jar was transformed by Jack using Transfiguration.

It looks like an ordinary glass jar with a glass lid.

Because of the material, you can directly see the appearance of the bugs inside.

"It looks like Gu insects from Southeast Asia." The old man squinted his eyes and took a closer look. "You just mentioned that you saw two people who looked exactly like us? And then... the people turned into bugs?"

He didn't ask in detail what was going on.

If Jack wanted to say it, he would have said it directly before.

"Yeah. A good living person turned into a bunch of bugs." Jack nodded, "Honestly, I thought you were unconvinced and wanted to come over and spar with each other again."

"Hmm..." The old man lowered his head and thought for a while, "It is also possible that he was an evil cultivator who was expelled from the country in the early years. After all, the art of witchcraft and poison is not unique to Southeast Asia. The ethnic minorities in Yun Province are also good at controlling insects."

"It sounds complicated."

Jack was a little surprised, but he thought it was reasonable.

Chongguo has a vast territory, rich resources, and a long history. It is not surprising that anything was born.

Let’s take an inappropriate joke as an example.

Beibang netizens once said proudly that their high-speed rail can travel across the country in one day, which is super fast.

Then take the high-speed rail to Chongguo.

“Can your high-speed rail travel across the country in one day?”

All I can say about this is that everyone who understands understands.

If you don’t understand, explanation is meaningless.

The same is true for high-speed rail, and the same is true for magic.

The place is small, the talent is few, and the magic that can be cultivated is extremely limited.

And since the place is big and there are many talents, of course a hundred flowers can bloom and a hundred schools of thought can contend, and all kinds of strange magic can be figured out.

"The more you talk about it, the more interested I am." Jack snapped his fingers and produced fresh juice. "Can you help me clear up my doubts? What I want to know most is the history of the wizards in Chongguo."

The juice was delivered to the two of them.

I saw the old man picking up the juice casually and taking a few sips.

"The taste is quite refreshing." After a moment of evaluation, he nodded slightly, "The relevant information is actually not confidential. If you are really anxious to know, it doesn't hurt if I give you a rough outline now."

"Appreciate further details."

"Well, which part do you want to know most?"

"Talk about confidentiality laws?"

"The law of confidentiality..." The old man thought for a moment before speaking.

Under the old man's narration, Jack gradually understood information that was unavailable in Hogwarts school.

On the other side of confidentiality laws.

The International Statute of Secrecy, signed in 1689.

Signed jointly by the magical governments of multiple countries.

The main theme of the content is to isolate magic from the Muggle world as much as possible.

Form a secret, free wizarding society that will not be persecuted by Muggles.

The problem is coming.

Europe signed secrecy laws because they had large-scale witch hunts.

Muggles are afraid of the supernatural power held by wizards, and then actively hunt these inhuman beings.

But that's Europe!

Do you know what the environment was like in Chongguo in 1689?

According to historical records, Kangxi made his second southern tour in 1689.

When he arrived in Nanjing, Wang came to Xiong to present a volume of "Secretary of Alchemy and Health Care".

Kangxi's edict: All those who refine elixirs to cultivate immortality and those who are masters and shamans who claim to know beforehand are all lying and cannot be trusted. They can only deceive the fool. Those who are knowledgeable in the classics and understand the truth will never be deceived by them.

It can be seen from the records that among the people, alchemy and health care, as well as witchcraft, are very common.Even some senior officials believe this.

He also sent the emperor a secret method that he thought was very effective.

Although the emperor did not believe in this, he only said that only fools believed in this stuff, and smart people should not believe it.

As for dealing with those alchemists and wizards?

The emperor didn't care.

This was the environment of Chongguo University in 1689.

No one said they were going to deal with wizards, but you are the one dancing the most happily in Europe.

What kind of confidentiality laws can be devised?

Wizards in Europe were persecuted. What does this have to do with those in Asia?

Not only Asia, but also African buddies are dragged into the water.

Please.

In Africa, anyone with extraordinary abilities is a gift from the gods, a good seedling of a shaman, and a sacred being who can communicate with the gods!

Do you know what level of existence a shaman is?

No matter what the tribal leader does, he must first ask the shaman what he wants before he can take action!

Shamans are so noble and respected.

You have just been persecuted!

Your whole family has suffered persecution!

The only countries that are willing to sign the secrecy law sincerely and sincerely are countries in Europe and the United States, two regions where witch hunts have broken out.

Of the rest, some signed following the trend.

Others did not sign at all.

It was just something done tacitly.

Just like Chongguo, it has never signed an MTCR (Missile Technology Control Regime Agreement), but the range of exported rocket launchers is always within 300 kilometers.

"So that's it..." Jack understood, "This world is quite interesting."
