Although he still wanted to continue sleeping, Qin Weijie got up reluctantly after looking at the time. After having a simple meal in the auditorium, Qin Weijie walked towards the dungeon.
At half past six in the evening, Qin Weijie was the first to arrive at the dungeon. Tom and Elena had not arrived yet, but Dumbledore had been waiting here for a long time.
Seeing Qin Weijie coming, Dumbledore cleared his throat and said softly: "Tom has training tonight. He has a Quidditch match the day after tomorrow and Saturday and he won't come tonight."
"What about Elena?"
"Miss Rufaen is not feeling well. She seems to have a bad cold. She has gone to the school doctor's office. Tonight is a special training session for you. After all, among the three of you, your mastery of the Patronus Charm is still a bit poor."
Shall I wipe it? ! Damn it! Those two guys betrayed the revolutionary friendship!
Qin Weijie grimaced, and finally looked at Dumbledore resignedly and said: "Then let's get started, I'm ready to be tortured..."
What Qin Weijie didn't expect was that Dumbledore didn't seem to be in a hurry today, but was leaning casually on the wooden box where the Dementors were imprisoned. He looked at Qin Weijie up and down, and then asked after a long time: "Have you been in contact with him recently? ?”
"who?"
"Your godfather~"
I went. Qin Weijie didn't expect that Old Dengtou would actually ask him about Uncle De's current situation. He was a little confused for a moment, but he still said truthfully: "There has been no contact in the past half a month. Uncle De and the others seem to be busy recently. Even sister Nagini and Greedens have not been in contact for more than half a month."
"Okay~"
Dumbledore felt a little disappointed, but then he straightened his expression and looked at Qin Weijie solemnly. Seeing Dumbledore so solemnly made Qin Weijie feel a little uncomfortable for a while.
"Vijay, let's not rush to learn the Patronus Charm today. I want to talk to you."
"Um...Professor, I'm a little panicked when you are so serious. Just tell me what you want to ask!" Qin Weijie's teasing did not trigger a change in Dumbledore's attitude. At this time, Dumbledore still looked serious, so Qin Weijie had no choice but to He restrained his usual casualness and looked at Dumbledore with a sincere face.
Dumbledore nodded and asked seriously: "I want to hear your views on wizards and Muggles."
"What do wizards and Muggles think?" Qin Weijie was a little confused. He really hadn't thought much about this question.
"It's okay, just tell me what you think."
Qin Weijie was hesitant. He lowered his head and thought for a long time. The hair on the back of his head was almost bald when he scratched it. He still couldn't understand the intention of Dumbledore's question. In the end, he could only bite the bullet and said: "I think wizards and Muggles are not essentially the same." The difference is that they are all human beings."
"But you have to admit that wizards have been given more powerful abilities..."
"Powerful ability? Is it powerful?" Qin Weijie also became interested at this time and asked.
Dumbledore did not expect Qin Weijie to ask him this question: "Isn't he powerful? The magic possessed by wizards is beyond the reach of Muggles."
"But Muggles...well, I still use to call them ordinary people...don't you think they are also making progress?"
"Are you talking about what Muggles call science? But I don't think science can surpass magic. After all, Muggles are still too dependent on things outside themselves."
Qin Weijie smiled disdainfully and retorted: "My thoughts are completely opposite to yours. I think one day science will surpass magic.
Professor, don't rush to refute... Let me ask you one thing. Let's make a horizontal comparison between the magical world and the world of ordinary people, just for the past two hundred years!
In the past two hundred years, the magic world's research on magic theory has almost come to a standstill. This may be related to the 'taboo' polluting classical magic. But even without the influence of 'taboo', let the magic world develop. In the past two hundred years, magic has To what extent can theoretical research in this field reach? "
Dumbledore thought for a while and said somewhat unconfidently: "If classical magic had not been contaminated, then theoretical research in the magical world would have slowly advanced..."
"Actually, you know the answer, you just don't want to say it! Even without the influence of 'taboo', the deduction of magical civilization has reached a bottleneck.
It is not difficult to see from the magic theories we have learned now that the magic theories that are now established actually appeared as early as the fifteenth century. For nearly five hundred years, the deduction of magic civilization has basically come to a standstill...
Even - well, you have to admit that due to the influence of 'taboo', magical civilization has even begun to regress. "
"What do you want to say?" Dumbledore also became interested at this time.
Qin Weijie also noticed Dumbledore's interest and simply said insinuatingly:
"Let's compare the world of ordinary people. In the past two hundred years, the world of ordinary people has experienced two industrial revolutions. The scientific and technological civilization of ordinary people has caused earth-shaking changes in the world. The changes brought about by technology can even be compared with magic. Comparable.
Ordinary people have made airplanes, which allow people to fly in the sky; ordinary people have created wireless telegraphy, and the efficiency of communication has even surpassed the owls in the magical world to send messages; ordinary people have been able to predict the weather and even use Some ways to change the weather…
And I believe that technological civilization will develop even more prosperously in the future. Technology can also accomplish things that magic could do in the past, and it is very likely that technology will surpass what magic cannot do. "
"Is this what you think of Muggles? Do you think Muggles will surpass wizards? Or even rule the wizarding world?" Dumbledore broke out in a cold sweat at Qin Weijie's outrageous remarks:
"But don't you think Muggles need to be restrained? Although they are developing rapidly, they have also caused countless sufferings. They persecuted wizards, they launched wars, and they don't even respect the world!"
Qin Weijie could clearly feel Dumbledore's excitement at this moment: "Well, at first glance, this sounds like there's nothing wrong with what you said... But I still want to refute you. You said that ordinary people need to be restrained, so wouldn't wizards? Should they be restrained? You said that ordinary people persecute wizards, but throughout history, are there still few ordinary people who have been persecuted by dark wizards? Are there still few wars launched by wizards? Some wizards always feel that they are superior and judge ordinary people at will. Life, if they don’t even revere life, how can they revere this world?”
Dumbledore was speechless for a moment, but Qin Weijie continued: "Actually, I think ordinary people and wizards are the same. They are all human beings, and they all have emotions and desires. The mistakes that wizards have made, ordinary people will also make. Rapidly developing civilization will inevitably bring about changes and some drawbacks, but in the long run, this is a pain that human development must bear...
