Chapter 105

Solim knew a lot of things that others didn't know, and Hermione had learned that early on. Solim's words in the Slytherin common room showed that he knew more about the Chamber of Secrets than anything else, and what he said about the mandrake potions reminded Hermione that it was easy for the school to heal the petrified students, but that the school was doing nothing, which seemed particularly suspicious. Combined with the whole thing, especially the part related to Harry, and then the incident of the Philosopher's Stone last semester, and finally the diary that appeared strangely, Hermione had reason to believe that the school was ...... Or maybe Dumbledore was planning something, and Solim obviously knew that there was such a thing, so he would say something that would not pose a threat to the students' lives.

In the small classroom, Hermione just looked at Solim, waiting for his reply.

Syllable...... Syllable...... Solim clapped his hands and looked at Hermione appreciatively.

"Amazing, Hermione, it's really amazing. Solim looked around and saw that Neville and Draco were all looking back and forth between themselves and Hermione in surprise, except for Sylna.

"But that's just your guess. "

"Like you said, if the school really wanted to de-petrify them, it would have done so long ago. If those who were petrified had seen anything at the time......"

"So, what do you want to know from me when you say this?"

"All!" Hermione said angrily, "what the hell is the school trying to do?

"Tell me what you know, and I won't hold you accountable for playing me. "

"When did I fool you?"

"Polyjuice decoction. Hermione gritted her teeth and said, "You've found out a long time ago, haven't you?"

"I didn't expose you on the spot, and I let you go, and you didn't end up like those two, I think you should thank me. Solim said to Hermione with a smile.

"But since you're talking about that, I'm really going to talk about you. You are also too confident, so confident that you dare to use it for the first time you configure the compound decoction, don't you worry that the transformation time of the compound decoction you configure is not enough?"

"I did it according to the recipe, and its subsequent performance also shows ......"

"It's Professor Snape, if he hadn't helped...... According to him, the concoction you have only lasted about 20 minutes, is there anything else you want to say?"

Hermione really didn't expect Solim to say something like this, Snape?

"Without Professor Snape helping you improve your Polyjuice Potion, you wouldn't even be able to get through the door to the Slytherin common room, you'd have to change back. "

Solim added another sentence in his heart: "If I hadn't emphasized to you, I must be sure that it is something on people, and you are still lying in the school hospital right now." "

"We ...... Watched?" Hermione bit her lip.

"You're in passing, mainly Potter. At this, Solim looked at Draco, "Do you understand now?, why did I ask you to provoke Potter less, what you did the principal and the professors watched." "

Draco's face was as ugly as if he had seen Weasley win the jackpot.

"This is Hogwarts - Albus Dumbledore's Hogwarts. Solim concluded, "There's nothing in this castle that can be hidden from him – including the so-called secret rooms." "

"And what is it for this time? The Philosopher's Stone has something to do with that person, and then exercises Harry by the way. And what about this time?" Hermione began to get to the bottom of it.

"Exercise Potter, well, it does have that purpose, and the rest is not for you to know. Solim spread his hands and said, "Don't look at me like that, I can't tell you even if I knew." "

"So you know that?" Hermione refused.

"Yes," Solim graciously admitted, "but I don't think it would do you any good to know too much. There are some things that the fewer people know the better. Sometimes, ignorance is a blessing. "

"Nonsense!" Hermione clearly didn't buy it, not so much that Hermione wanted to know the so-called truth, but that Hermione was venting her frustration.

"Then let's talk about something unrelated. Solim smiled, "Do you know what happened in 1945?"

Several people looked at each other, wondering what Solim wanted to do when he suddenly asked such a question.

"Dumbledore defeated Grindelwald and ended the war. Hermione thought for a moment and answered honestly.

"That's right, but I'm not asking about the wizarding world. Solim continued: "In 1945, the United States tested the world's first atomic bomb, and in the same year, two atomic bombs were dropped on Nagasaki and Hiroshima in Japan, causing countless casualties. "

Except for Hermione, the others were dumbfounded, they didn't know what the atomic bomb was. Solim didn't explain to them either, he was mostly talking to Hermione.

"What do you want to say?" asked Hermione.

Before Japan was bombed, that is, after the first atomic bomb was tested, in a very short time, wizarding organizations around the world knew that Muggles had come up with a weapon that was incomparably more powerful than wizards' most powerful magic.

The wizards were frightened and hurriedly convened a worldwide meeting of wizards. European, African, American. Wizards in power in Asia hurried to discuss how to deal with the emerging and powerful threat from Muggle society. But before the results of the quarrel among these wizards. In the same year, the casualties caused by the two atomic bombs dropped by the United States on Japan shocked the wizards.

What kind of magic can have such power and cause hundreds of thousands of casualties? Under the unprecedented threat, the wizards put aside their past grievances, put aside the entanglement of interests, and quickly came up with a solution.

The International Confederation of Wizards and Wizards established a new department, the Muggle Military Oversight and Control Board. They sent elite wizards, used magic to penetrate Muggles, and began to oversee the Muggles' military power, mainly nuclear weapons. In the beginning, there were only places where nuclear weapons were stored, but later, air-based nuclear weapons, road-based nuclear weapons, and sea-based nuclear weapons appeared, so to speak, wherever there were nuclear warheads, there were wizards.

The worst thing is that the wizards who were sent to the nuclear submarine are not good at eating, and the space is small, if something really happens and the submarine sinks, there is nothing to ensure the life safety of the wizard except for the door key.

"Maybe you'll ask me. Since nuclear weapons are such a great threat to wizards, and wizards have also penetrated into Muggles, why not destroy those nuclear weapons, and just use the Imperius Curse or the Obedience Charm to control their leaders, isn't it easy to do?" Solim said regretfully: "Wizards are also human beings, they are human beings, and politics will arise. "

It stands to reason that wizards should be able to get rid of such a huge threat to wizarding society, but the wizards who wield power did not. On the contrary, for a period of time, Muggles also frantically detonated nuclear weapons, and the power became more and more powerful each time, why is that?

"The world is not as simple as you think. There are many extremely powerful magical creatures in this world, although the vast majority of people don't know about them, but it doesn't mean that they don't exist, and there are some magic seals left a long, long time ago, so long that there is no record of what was sealed inside. Once the contents of the seal escape, it is very likely to cause heavy casualties, just like the 'Hedmore Incident'. "

"Black ...... What event?" Hermione had never heard or seen of the term.

"You may not know about the Hideamore incident, but you should understand it when I say the Black Death. Solim looked at Hermione.

"But...... Isn't that the plague?"

"Hedmore broke the seal, and the contents of the seal escaped, and then a third of the people in Europe died, and this is the result. The same incident was the 1952 'Chavez Incident' in London, which was said to be a respiratory illness caused by a poisonous fog, but in fact it was a 'fog demon' who escaped from the seal, and someone raided the location of the seal and released the fog demon, causing the death of several wizards guarding the seal. Solim said with a blank face. The "Elixir of Nothingness" that Gilves gave to Solim was a potion invented by studying the body structure of the Mist Demon.

After Sculler graduates, many wizards will be assigned to guard the seal, which is an important reason why Solim wants to leave Sculle.

"Now you understand? wizards kept Muggle nuclear weapons to deal with monsters that might break out of the seal, and Muggles have conducted so many nuclear tests, some of them for real, but some of them to destroy some of the monsters in the seal. "

"Now I tell you some truths about the world, truths that the vast majority of people will never know in their lifetime. Solim said, "But what's the use of knowing that? What can you do? It's not that you can't do anything." "

Solim paused: "So, Hermione, there are some things that you don't need to know too much, and I'll let you know when you should know." "
