【Extra】Chapter 9
On an extraordinary large ship, an old witch wearing a dark green wizard's dress stood gracefully on the deck near the bow of the ship.
The ship had a strange, skeletal appearance, as if it were the remains of a newly raised shipwreck, and the portholes shone with a dim, foggy light that looked like ghostly eyes.
"Master, have you really given up on conquering the Muggle world?" the witch asked softly.
"How many times have I told you, Vader, just call me principal." An old man with white hair turned around from the bow of the boat and smiled at the witch.
His smile looks particularly unruly, but it also reveals a gentleness of emotion, which seems to bring peace to people's souls.
"Yes, Grindelwald... Principal." Vader Rozier nodded hesitantly.
Grindelwald smiled with satisfaction and turned around again to look at the endless sea.
"You don't understand. Having lost the opportunity half a century ago, wizards will no longer have any advantage against Muggles." He sighed and moved his eyes to the sea under the side of the ship.
On the rolling sea, a picture vaguely emerged, and then it was reflected in Grindelwald's blue-eyed child as deep as the sea——
It was an extremely prosperous world, with colorful and dazzling lights everywhere. Countless huge billboards occupied every side of the tall buildings, and many holographic images were projected over the city.
The criss-crossing roads cover every corner that is not occupied by high-rise buildings, connecting the dazzling buildings together. Most of the cars on the roads are flashing with flashy lights, which is dazzling.
In that world, the Muggle Academy of Science has developed a brand-new technology that will be able to detect traces of magic...
"In the past few decades, Muggles have developed too fast. They are no longer what we saw back then." Grindelwald looked at the image on the sea and said slowly, "They have a sufficient population and advanced weapons. , so much so that even daily life is faster than the magical world."
"Sometimes even I am confused. Will we use magic, or Muggles will use magic...those weapons of mass destruction can even threaten me."
"But we have the Imperius Curse," Vader said. "We can control the Muggle leaders and gradually control the Muggle world through infiltration."
"It's not that simple." Grindelwald shook his head. "After all, the Imperius Curse is not omnipotent. If those Muggle leaders make too many unbelievable decisions, they will still be discovered."
"In addition, there are too many of them. Even if all the wizards who are proficient in using the Imperius Curse are used, how many Muggles can they control? What's more, these outstanding wizards may not necessarily be on our side."
"But why... isn't this for the greater benefit of the magic world?" Vader felt a little confused.
"No, as the number of Muggles continues to increase, the proportion of Muggle wizards in the magical world is also constantly increasing." Grindelwald said, "They stayed in the Muggle world for eleven years before coming to the magical world. , many family members and friends are there..."
"These people won't let us start a war against Muggles, let alone a pro-Muggle pureblood like Wes."
"If we want a war, we are bound to experience a more turbulent civil war than half a century ago, and I have no chance of winning... This is also the reason why Dumbledore and Dracula agreed to let me be the principal. They Knowing there’s nothing I can do.”
Wei Da was startled and slowly lowered his head.
"So is this why you added the subject of 'Rune Transformation of Muggle Technology' at Durmstrang?" she asked in a low voice.
"That's right, since we can't defeat them, we can only learn their techniques." Grindelwald stroked the white hair on his forehead that was blown by the sea breeze, nodded and said, "Those Muggle-born students don't want to go back Enjoy life? Then let them!"
"Bring more advanced technology over, penetrate into all walks of life of Muggles, and covertly influence their public opinions and policies."
"After magical transformation, Muggle technology will be carried forward in the magical world!"
Vida Rozier's eyes were a little complicated.
After so many years, she has changed from a young witch in her twenties and thirties to an old witch who is now nearly a hundred years old. She has always believed that wizards are superior to others and Muggles are powerless.
However, now, she discovered that Lord Grindelwald, whom she followed, had changed his views on Muggles first.
"Vida, I know what you are thinking." Grindelwald didn't even turn his head, already guessing the psychology of his loyal believer, "I did look down on Muggles before, and I didn't want the wizarding world to hide like mice. dark place."
"But times have changed now. We can no longer look at the problem from the previous perspective - we have to admit that with the current productivity of Muggles, they can create more value than wizards."
"In addition, when we have no chance of winning, clinging to the previous concepts will only make the magic world go downhill..."
Grindelwald turned around and stared into Vader Rosier's eyes with his sea-blue eyes, "Vader, sometimes we need to compromise for the greatest benefit."
After hearing the words "the greatest benefit", Vidal Rozier finally came back to his senses, and his eyes became firm again.
"Grindelwald... Headmaster, since we don't plan to have a head-on conflict with the Muggles, are we still going to continue to live in this corner of the wizarding world?" She asked, "And you said that the Muggles may be in trouble in a few years. Use their technology to detect magic."
"Yes, this is indeed a bit troublesome." Grindelwald smiled and looked up at the sky, "So we need a little help..."
"That guy should be here soon."
Vader Rozier raised his head in confusion and looked at where Grindelwald's eyes were pointing.
The bright sky seemed to suddenly darken, and a dark moon appeared in mid-air.
Immediately afterwards, a silver-haired Dracula slowly walked out of the dark moon and smiled at Grindelwald who was standing on the bow of the ship.
"Have you finally decided?" he asked with interest.
"Albus and I have already discussed this. This should be the best solution." Grindelwald nodded and said, "First establish a pilot near Durmstrang."
"If the effect is good, we will promote this method to the entire magic world!"
