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...
One person or a few people cannot change the flow of history at all. What we can do is to maintain a kind heart, guard the bottom line in our heart, watch it develop, and shoulder it and advance it when history gives you a mission. , just always believe that the future is bright. "
Dumbledore fell into deep thought after listening to Qin Weijie's words. After a long time, he said: "Is this the wisdom of the Chinese people? Rule by doing nothing? To be honest, your words opened up a new world for me. Maybe I am wrong, Green DeVoe is also wrong, but I still can't be convinced by you at this time... Even if we are both wrong, I still can't change my mind until the last moment."
Qin Weijie frowned slightly, touched his chin and asked, "Professor, can you tell me what you and Uncle De think?"
Dumbledore nodded, took a deep breath and said slowly: "For many years, I have never revealed my feelings except to Gellert. But today, because of your words, I am willing to share my feelings with you. the opinion of.
First of all, Gellert and I had a consensus many years ago. We believe that magic is a talent given to us by God. It also gives us responsibilities, the responsibility to promote the direction of the world, and the responsibility to protect the stability of the world. What I am talking about here is not stability. You can guess the factor, that is 'taboo'... In Gellert's words, 'magic gives us the right to rule'. We all once believed that wizards should be the rulers of this world.
So I have been trying to make wizards wake up and assume our responsibilities. Just like in history, wizards rule the world as prophets and saints, guiding Muggles to live and reproduce correctly, and at the same time resist the pollution of the world by 'taboos' . I once firmly believed that 'wizards rule for the benefit of Muggles themselves' and 'we strive for rule for the greater good'.
And this is the consensus between Gellert and I. Because we had this consensus, we became the best friends... Unfortunately, we still had differences in the end! "
At this point, Dumbledore felt a little sad and helpless, as if he was reminiscing and thinking about how to describe their differences. After a while, Dumbledore continued:
"Our differences arise in our attitudes towards Muggles... I have to say that what you just said coincides with Gellert. You both believe that one day technology will subvert magic, and this is exactly Our differences.
Gellert believed that technology would subvert magic, and therefore believed that Muggles would shake and subvert the dominance of wizards. Therefore, he advocated using force to rule Muggles, allowing wizards to completely gain control, and create a world where magic rules and magic powers. Therefore, he gathered forces from all parties and planned to overthrow the existing magical order, which he considered to be extremely weak, and rebuild the 'magical power'.
And I believe that technology will not subvert magic, let alone shake the dominance of wizards. We can use necessary force when necessary, but not excessively. The focus of our reform is not to promote the 'power of magic', but to awaken wizards and assume the historical responsibilities we must bear. Therefore, I am more inclined to educate and guide the rising stars - the future of the magical world, which is you. "
Qin Weijie listened carefully to Dumbledore's story. At this moment, he finally understood the ideal pursuits of Old Deng and Uncle De, and finally understood the differences between the two.
To be honest, Qin Weijie disagreed with the two people's views from the bottom of his heart, and even sneered at them.
In Qin Weijie's opinion, both Grindelwald and Dumbledore were wrong!
Although Grindelwald had a long-term vision and saw the potential and future of ordinary people, he embarked on a path that was contrary to history.
Rather than saying that Uncle De's pursuit of "magical power" is for their so-called "greater interests," it is better to say that Grindelwald is afraid and unwilling to retreat from the magic civilization.
What Grindelwald feared was the rise of ordinary people, and what he was unwilling to accept was the decline of the magical world. Intertwined with fear and unwillingness, Grindelwald could only weave a beautiful dream for himself and the magical world. He hoped that through His own efforts have brought magic civilization back to life, but this is destined to be a wrong path.
Dumbledore was even more wrong. He was not even willing to acknowledge the rise of technological civilization for ordinary people. He just wanted wizards to awaken and restore the glory of magic. However, the decline of magic was a foregone conclusion. Destined to be helpless, it is somewhat ironic to place hope on future generations for change.
This is like being a parent who has been doing nothing all his life, but still wants his children to become the best among people. If you can't change in your own life, how can you say that the children under your influence can achieve great things? What about change?
It has to be said that both Grindelwald and Dumbledore can be regarded as insightful people of this era in the magical world. They hope to change the lonely status quo of magical civilization, but in the end they have not taken the most important step - integration and integration. Accept.
Rather than seeking to change the status quo, it is better to say that they are still immersed in the old dream of the glory of magic in the past. The idea that wizards are superior to ordinary people has been deeply ingrained in their minds, which destined their struggles in this life to be nothing more. Still resting on its laurels.
——————
Two people, two pursuits, both are destined to fail in the long run... What a pity, what a pity!
Qin Weijie was determined to change their views, but from his conversation with Dumbledore today, it was not difficult for Qin Weijie to see that even if he told Dumbledore all the results of the future technological development of ordinary people, Dumbledore would not believe it, let alone will change your opinion.
In the same way, the same applies to Grindelwald. You are destined to be unable to wake up a person who is pretending to be asleep, because they are unwilling to wake up.
"Vijay, don't tell anyone what we talked about today. I think you are a smart boy. You must know the consequences of these remarks being leaked..." Looking at the time on his pocket watch, Dumbledore ended his talk about ideals. topic, turned to Qin Weijie and said.
Qin Weijie nodded: "I know, I won't leak a single word about what we discussed today. Let's sign a contract just to be on the safe side. With the constraints of magic rules, even talking in sleep at night will not leak out."
Dumbledore nodded happily and agreed to Qin Weijie's proposal. With a wave of his wand, he took out a roll of parchment and a quill from somewhere and handed them to Qin Weijie.
Qin Weijie was not polite and once again drafted the contract magic he was familiar with.
