Chapter 1160 Bringing Magic to the Muggle World

A gentleman works diligently all day long and is vigilant at night, and there will be no fault. The ninth and third line of the Qian hexagram is an auspicious hexagram overall.

"Working hard all day" emphasizes maintaining a spirit of self-improvement and being diligent during the day.

"Be vigilant at night" requires one to remain alert at night, reflect on one's own behavior, and avoid danger caused by laziness.

"No blame" means that disasters can be avoided through continuous efforts and caution.

After listening to Bai Sheng's analysis of the hexagram, Vincent did not react much.

He took a sip of tea and looked around the teahouse again.

"Mr. Bai, I like it here very much."

Bai Sheng frowned, a hint of doubt in his eyes, and tapped the coffee table lightly with his fingers. "Mr. Wayne, many years ago, I once read your fortune."

Wen Rente withdrew his gaze and met his eyes directly. "What was the result?"

"Nineth day of the first lunar month, a latent dragon is not to be used." Bai Sheng suddenly stopped what he was doing. "In just seven years, you have gone through the two stages of accumulating strength and then emerging as a talent. Western prophecy really has its unique features."

Each hexagram has its own cycle, which can be as short as a few days or as long as several decades depending on the calculation content.

What Bai Sheng calculated was a major event that would affect the future. Even if the time added by the time converter was included, it was only 7 years. Vincent's growth was really too fast.

"Mr. Bai, you seem to be worried about something?"

Bai Sheng smiled bitterly and shook his head. "Mr. Wayne, your fate is very special. I can predict your future, but I can't predict your past."

If he could predict things from his previous life, he would truly be a god.

Vincent raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "Mr. Bai, I can probably guess what you're worried about. According to Eastern parlance, I'm just a young boy. It's normal that you don't trust me."

Bai Sheng, whose thoughts were seen through, was not embarrassed at all. His doubtful eyes flashed with approval, "Mr. Wayne, you now have enough power to influence the future. I have to be cautious."

His seat faces north, which is water, symbolizing wisdom and wealth. It corresponds to the Kan hexagram in the Eight Diagrams, which means hiding one's abilities and making progress in danger.

Logically speaking, fire and water are incompatible, and this conversation will end in a bad mood.

However, this has not happened in reality, at least not yet. This made Bai Sheng recall Vincent's performance in Longzhai City.

From doubt to approval, trust has been generated deep in his heart. Although it is not much, it is enough to become a variable.

When Bai Sheng finished pouring the second cup of Dahongpao, Vincent's eyes suddenly became sharp.

"Mr. Bai, whether or not you help me, my plan remains unchanged. I am confident that I can achieve my goal."

Bai Sheng quietly stared at the steaming orange-red tea in the black porcelain teacup. "Mr. Wayne, are the ideas of the Order Society too advanced?"

Vincent wasn't surprised that he knew about it in advance. Being able to predict the future was equivalent to being a semi-prophet. "Mr. Bai, do you think it's right for the magic world to hide in dark alleys and stagnate for hundreds of years?"

Bai Sheng looked up and met his deep blue eyes, remaining silent.

"I think it's wrong. The Statute of Secrecy has trapped wizards in the past, while Muggles have been constantly developing technology over the past few hundred years. In the eyes of wizards, some areas are even more magical than magic."

Before the invention of magic communicators, wizards relied on owls as a conventional means of communication, and the instant messaging tools created by alchemists could not be popularized due to cost issues.

There is also aerospace engineering. Apollo 11 successfully landed a man on the moon 26 years ago. In the field of alien exploration, wizards can be called primitive people.

Then there was the first nuclear bomb half a century ago, whose successful detonation terrified wizards.

Needless to say, in the financial field, Gringotts Wizarding Bank is inefficient. One must go to the counter in person to handle transactions and inter-bank transfers are not possible. If the goblins suddenly want to do something exciting, such as freezing the wizards' assets and vaults, the entire magical world will be in chaos.

It is only the 90s now, and Muggles will have more and more technological advances in the future. If wizards still arrogantly think that Muggle technology is equivalent to "moving toys" and refuse to face up to the gap between the two societies, wizards will sooner or later pay the price.

Bai Sheng was silent for a long time, swallowing the words back countless times when they came to his lips.

His eyes dimmed, and he finally spoke softly, "Mr. Wayne, you are making an enemy of the entire wizarding world. The challenge you face is greater than Mr. Grindelwald's was. If you fail..."

Vincent knew the consequences, but his eyes remained firm. "I will face greater challenges, and correspondingly, greater opportunities."

He leaned forward slightly, his determined gaze clear as water, without any impurities. "The prejudice and hostility between wizards and Muggles stems from the lack of a bridge of communication. I have already brought technology into the wizarding world, and next I will bring magic to the Muggle world."

Magic will bring revolutionary progress to areas of people's livelihood such as medicine, energy, and environmental protection. It is a good opportunity for him to cooperate with Hunter to establish a special force dedicated to dealing with magical affairs.

Bai Sheng tapped the coffee table with his fingers.

The hexagram symbols are not static, but will change with the passage of time and the development of things.

For him, joining the Order would be a big gamble, so before making a decision, he needed to test whether Vincent was qualified.

The result is self-evident. Whether in terms of character or mentality, Vincent is worth his gamble.

The world where wizards walk out of the dark alleys and coexist peacefully with Muggles is truly exciting.

Bai Sheng stopped what he was doing and extended his hand to Vincent, "Mr. Wayne, although the power of the Asian branch is small, I sincerely hope that it can be of help to you."

Vincent smiled and shook his hand. "I will, Mr. Bai."

After finishing the business, the two began to talk about personal matters.

Bai Sheng had been very curious about Vincent before, and became even more curious after meeting him face to face.

He is so mature and steady at such a young age. Even if their talks really break down today, he will still admire this young man in front of him.

Vincent was also very curious about the Hong Kong magical world, or more precisely, the mysterious magical world of Todai.

"The mainland..." Bai Sheng's eyes were filled with nostalgia. "How should I put it? The magic world on the mainland is actually everywhere. There are many names for wizards over there, such as alchemists, Taoist priests, warlocks, etc. Every province and city has at least one small gathering place."

Due to its vast territory and the differences in regional diets and living habits, the wizarding community of Eastern University is scattered across the country, and many wizards even live in seclusion in large Muggle cities.

The old man who exercises in the park downstairs every morning may be a wizard, and the old lady who bargains for a dime or two in the vegetable market may also be a wizard. On the contrary, those masters who claim to be able to exorcise demons are mostly Muggle scammers.
