A Professor of Magic at Hogwarts Chapter 557: The first hole card
Snape resisted the urge to walk away, and took the grilled fish, but his eyes were terrifying.
"Tell me something, Severus?" Felix asked, seeing Snape's silence, he understood. They came out of the auditorium and came to the center of the courtyard, where the ground was covered with a layer of white snow.
"I heard you and Bubaji discussing using magic to grow crops." Snape paused, and finished the sentence without any ups and downs: "I happen to have similar confusion."
Of course he heard more than that. For example, there was a pen pal inside. He probably was the dangerous person in Dumbledore's mouth. Through Felix's description, Snape simply outlined a closed book in his mind. , Stubborn, inarticulate, and reclusive image of a wizard.
This kind of person is not uncommon in the magic world. But it is probably a powerful person who can make Dumbledore so afraid.
These thoughts flashed by, Snape finished speaking, and looked at Felix calmly.
Felix glanced at him, not surprised, he just wanted to bring in a potion master. Compared with Damocles Belby who was far away in the sky, Severus, who was obviously close at hand, was closer suitable.
There is still a backup candidate is Slughorn, but this old man's character is easy to avoid, and he likes to enjoy himself. It is not easy to convince him.
"Wizards have always tended to be self-sufficient. Using magic to grow vegetables? In their view, it is no different from using magic to wash dishes and clean up the room, but if you look at it from another angle, vegetables, fruits, and crops are all life. No one can tell what kind of promotion effect the middle magic has played."
Snape listened silently, always feeling that something was wrong, why did he really talk about growing vegetables?
"Things that wizards take for granted are fantasy in the eyes of Muggles." Felix continued, "I think this is a good entry point."
"What entry point?" Snape asked sharply.
"Observe Muggle science from the perspective of a wizard, and finally return to magic." Felix said: "This process requires an understanding of both sides, and there is no need to be proficient. Professor Bubaji's knowledge reserve is completely It is enough, so I introduced this topic to her."
Snape snorted through his nose, and said flatly: "It is indeed better than studying the essence of magic power beyond self-control."
Felix did not answer, "As far as I know, no wizard has ever systematically studied the influence of magic on planting crops before. Apart from the fact that there are few people in the wizarding world, there is another biggest reason: the wizards are practical. Doctrine prevails.”
This is also the conclusion that Felix came to when examining the differences between wizards and non-wizards from a higher perspective.
The two edifices of magic and technology are based on very different foundations. The former is based on magic and the mind, while the latter is based on reason and logic. For the vast majority of wizards, rationality and logical reasoning skills are useful, but not necessary, at least they do not affect their spellcasting.
Over time, this part of knowledge is only reflected in specific disciplines.
"Magic planting? Magical planting? If Professor Bubaji can really research some results, it may change the world."
"Change the world?" Snape couldn't help frowning, the word sounded very dangerous.
"Ah, that's not the right word." Felix smiled and took a bite of the grilled fish: "To be precise, it's a powerful hole card."
Snape memorized it silently, and at the same time secretly pondering where this card could be used, he also subconsciously took a bite of the fish, the tender and delicious fish exploded in his mouth, and then a warm heat permeated his stomach, It makes the air in the courtyard even colder and biting.
He heard Felix continue to say, "Professor Bubaji is standing at the door of a new field. I am happy to see it succeed, and I will not hesitate to provide some trivial help."
"Like that pen pal?" Snape ventured to ask.
He felt that he was getting closer to the truth. Dumbledore instructed him to be wrong, and Dumbledore had no intention of telling him who that person was, but it did not prevent him from knowing from Felix. Snape thought secretly.
He didn't expect it to go so smoothly, and Felix didn't seem to have any intention of hiding it.
Snape felt a strange sense of familiarity. When was the last time? Oh, he was pulled into the Future World Company, and he still has to set aside a period of time every month to brew the enhanced version of Wolfsbane potion and analyze the formula of alchemy materials
The vigilance is instantly full.
Felix blinked. Overheard a lot, Severus. Like a seasoned person waiting for something to take the bait, he patiently explained: "Not just him, there are many more people. At least I can think of it, let's call it that for magic planting. This discipline may also need to use Charms and Charms Knowledge of Potions."
Him? Is it a wizard? Snape's heart skipped a beat. Then he understood why Felix had revealed this information to him, and he felt like he would be caught in a trap if he wanted to use the knowledge of Potions.
"It seems like a big project, but I don't see any use for it." Snape said calmly, "I've only heard of stupid wizards, not starving wizards."
"Broaden your mind, Severus, there are more than just wizards in this world."
Snape pondered for a while, his calm heart suddenly stirred up ripples, his hand holding the grilled fish was trembling, he had to use Occlumency to cover up his true emotions. After a long while, he asked hoarsely: "You mean those Muggles? There is no restriction under the secrecy law"
His expression became unfathomable ~IndoMTL.com~ but his heart felt cold.
Felix waved his hand, "I didn't mean to challenge the secrecy law, so I said this is just a trump card." Snape was slightly relieved, but Felix's next sentence made him worry. Throat eyes, internal organs are all about to jump out.
"After all, there are lessons learned from the past," Felix said: "If I have learned anything from it, it is that you should not go to extremes, because if you are extreme, the people who support you will be even more extreme. Kind of insignificant." He gave Snape a meaningful look.
Snape instantly thought of a name, Gellert Grindelwald. Is he the one Dumbledore was wary of, the first Dark Lord? He couldn't wait to continue listening, slowing his breath, thinking over every word Felix said.
"Stubbornness breeds bigots, but it also separates you and your followers from normal people," said Felix. The bystanders didn't take it seriously, but felt unfamiliar and afraid of your waving arms, and subconsciously stayed away from you."
"Then how did you solve this problem?" asked Snape, who had completely calmed down.
"Dumbledore and the Ministry of Magic are at the forefront!" Felix said irresponsibly. "At best, I just foresee some possible crises and make some preparations in advance. It's not illegal to start a company, support magic The development of the world will not be attacked by groups”
"Including pushing Bubbaji to study the magic planting you said? Do you think this matter can overcome a certain crisis?" Snape asked knowingly.
"I don't know." Felix said briefly, "I only know that there are more than a billion people in this era who don't have enough to eat."
