"What do you mean by the conjunction of stars?" Ted felt that his throat was a little dry. A bad premonition lingered in my heart.
Sure enough, what Mr. Giggs said next made him take a breath.
The intersection of the stars is a word used in the magical world to describe the intersection of two worlds.
It is said to have happened twice so far.
The first was in 1945, and is said to have occurred soon after Dumbledore defeated and imprisoned Grindelwald in Nurmengard.
At that time, the sky was in chaos, and the positions of the stars in the sky were confused.
You can even see some huge celestial bodies moving in the sky in broad daylight.
Abnormal celestial phenomena that lasted for four and a half months!
During those few months, the climate was also extremely abnormal.
It may only take a few hours to go from scorching sun to heavy snowfall.
It rained in the polar regions, and hailstones the size of eggs fell in the tropical rainforest.
Even the length of the day has changed. The longest day lasted forty hours without the sun setting, while the shortest day only lasted twelve hours.
And there are many things in the world that were not there before.
Such as magical creatures from other worlds, herbs, etc.
During that time, magical creatures from other worlds ran around uncontrollably, which directly caused panic in the Muggle world, which was already frightened by abnormal celestial phenomena and weather.
If it hadn't been for the end of the Second World War at that time, the Muggle world was in chaos, and technology was not yet developed, and photos and videos weren't as readily available as they are now, the secrecy laws in the wizarding world would have been invalidated.
It is said that the entire wizarding world spent a lot of energy dealing with it for several months before reluctantly using the Muggle government and expert media to cover up the matter.
Then cover up those new magical creatures so they don't rush into the Muggle world and cause trouble.
But until now, some magical creatures will appear unexpectedly in front of Muggles. The Ministry of Magic's Department of Magical Accidents and Disasters and the Department for the Management and Control of Magical Creatures are often overwhelmed by this.
Mention this and Mr Giggs bursts into gloating laughter.
It seems that he is very happy that the Ministry of Magic is failing.
Ted suddenly remembered the incredible urban stories he had read in old newspapers. At that time, he thought they were deliberately manipulated by newspapers for the sake of sales.
I didn’t expect it to be a serious newspaper!
The alien race dwarves appeared after the second intersection of the stars.
Mr. Giggs: "The second meeting of the stars was ten years ago, after the mysterious man was defeated by the Boy-Who-Lived..."
"By the way, you know the Boy Who Lived, right?" he asked.
"I know." Harry Potter.
Mr. Giggs clapped his thigh excitedly: "That's right! It's Neville Longbottom!"
Ted: Huh? (#ﾟДﾟ)!
"Neville Longbottom?" Ted's throat became even dryer, almost smoking, no, sparks! .
Ted: No, this is really bad!
Mr. Giggs nodded, "Thanks to Neville Longbottom, when he was more than one year old, he defeated the mysterious man and ended the chaos. The second intersection of the stars happened after the defeat of the mysterious man."
He pointed out the window: "Things like dwarves, elves, and demi-humans, including those ugly and evil murlocs, kobolds, and goblins, all appeared after the second star conjunction. It's been ten years now. .”
The tortoise shell in Ted's hand was about to be crushed. In addition to dwarves, there were also elves? What are demihumans? Murlocs, kobolds...
Ted was so angry that he was shaking all over. He was sweating all over in the hot weather and his hands and feet were cold.
Hell is empty and the devil is in the world. Can this world be better?
What do you want from a time traveler to satisfy you?
Tears flowed down unsatisfactorily. The world is full of malice towards the time travellers. When can the time travelers truly stand up?
Mr. Giggs was still talking: "No, dwarves and elves are closer to wizards. This dwarf blacksmith shop is the first shop opened by an alien race in Diagon Alley! Everyone is there It’s fun to watch!”
"By the way, Ted, why don't you go and take a look? When can't you do work?"
Ted stood up stiffly and walked out of the door like a zombie, thinking about the conjunction of the stars.
Now that everything is like this, can the original plot still go on?
Colonel Chu once said: The greatest advantage of a time traveler is that he knows the plot well! Now that I have done nothing, the advantage is gone! Blanch~
Ted went to see the dwarf, and it turned out to be the kind from a fantasy world view. He was about 1.3 meters tall, with a stout body like a big wine barrel, and a long beard, which was tied into a braid with a copper ring.
The dwarf boss's voice increased, as if he had a constant "loud voice."
He was dissatisfied with the wizards' onlookers and glared at him.
"Oh my god! I wonder if the elder is old and confused. What's the point of opening a blacksmith shop here? People treat him like a monkey! What can these hemp wizards do?" The voice was like a loud bell.
On one side, a beardless but still short and stocky female dwarf advised: "Keep your voice down, the elder intends for us to integrate into the wizarding world. Opening a store is the first step..."
…
Ted finally regained his composure. In the afternoon, while doing inventory at the bookstore, Ted chatted with the bookstore clerk.
"Aaron, do you know of any books about the conjunction of the stars?"
Aaron said: "You are also interested in the intersection of stars because of the newly opened dwarf blacksmith shop?"
"Look at the book "Fantastic Beasts Appearing in the Ten Years: Supplement", which was published in the past two months. In addition, this is the record of the past ten years in "History of Magic"."
"You have to know that now we don't even understand how many things there are in this world that didn't exist before. Ten years is still too short. Who knows if there are any strange things in remote ravines..."
Ted briefly browsed the "Fantastic Beasts Appearing in the Ten Years Supplement" recommended by Aaron, which included records from goblins to kobolds.
At present, races such as murlocs, goblins, and kobolds are classified as magical animals by the Ministry of Magic. It's still a very dangerous level.
Also, these races do not understand the language and are full of malice.
In other worlds, aren't these monsters?
As for the History of Magic, I have never read this textbook - who would want to read this?
As a result, I never expected that in the past ten years, there would be such a big surprise.
After get off work in the afternoon, Ted returned to the Leaky Cauldron.
Old Tom was still polishing the oak wine glasses behind the counter, as if he could never finish polishing them.
Ted walked over and asked in a low voice: "Mr. Tom, a new shop opened in Diagon Alley today, the Dwarf Blacksmith's Shop. I heard a new word - the intersection of the stars. Can you tell me about it?"
As a bar owner, Old Tom is naturally well-informed.
Ted wanted to verify the accuracy of the news with him. Maybe Old Tom can know something more detailed.
"You said the stars converge. Indeed, there was a big mess ten years ago. Many careless wizards were killed by monsters and races from other worlds!"
Old Tom began to tell stories about alien races and alien monsters from the past ten years.
The elves, dwarves, and gnomes from other worlds are similar to Ted's impression, and they have their own civilization and magical power, so they are more harmonious with the magical world.
Elves, in particular, are good-looking, elegant, rich, have strong magical abilities, and have long lifespans, which are all plus points in the eyes of wizards.
"An elder of the Elf Tribe was invited to join the Wizengamot in the fifth year after the second star conjunction. At that time, the Daily Prophet reported on it for a week..."
The Wizengamot is the highest authority in the British wizarding world and has existed much longer than the Ministry of Magic.
Members include the Minister of Magic, Senior Deputy Minister of Magic, senior officials of the Ministry of Magic and other famous wizards. Has great influence on the British Ministry of Magic.
To be accepted and even invited to join the Wizengamot in just five years shows that the elves do have something up their sleeve.
The so-called demihumans are humans who possess certain animal characteristics.
For example, it has animal ears and tail.
Furui is in ecstasy~
Compared with those races such as murlocs, kobolds, and goblins that kill and eat people and are classified as humanoid monsters, the demihumans are recognized by the magic world as a humanoid race, that is, they are accepted as "human beings".
But compared to the super-national treatment of elves, many pure-blood families are very unfriendly to these demi-humans, thinking that they are as lowly as Muggles, or even hybrids.
As for the monsters from other worlds, there are too many to mention in one day and one night.
Old Tom lent him a copy of Magical Creatures You Should Know.
This book was only published last year. It not only records common magical animals and dark magical creatures, but also records many dangerous magical creatures that appeared after the two stars converged.
"Take your time, don't be in a hurry to return it." Old Tom said.
