Chapter 548: What about taboos?

As soon as I passed through the boundary gate and stepped on the ground in London, the capital, I was greeted by a sudden heavy rain.
The rain came and went quickly, only a matter of minutes.
When the rain stopped, as wizards, Jack and Neville didn't get wet and used apparation to reach Longbottom's old house.
With an heir like Neville here, the two of them entered the castle without encountering any obstruction.
Later, it was the family affairs of the Longbottom family.
Neville went to Augusta's study by himself to discuss changing his body with his grandmother.
Jack, under the guidance of the house elf, went to the exhibition hall.
It's been a long time since I last came here.
Those collections that have been viewed once will still be amazed by what they contain when they look at them again.
Such as art, such as some special magic crafts.
Jack saw a dress.
The skirt exudes a slight silver light under the light.
According to the introduction, the cloth used to make this thing is a very strange magical creation.
The related craftsmanship has been lost.
However, its functionality has not failed.It looks like a very thin layer, but its defensive performance is stronger than a palm-thick steel plate.
The most powerful thing is that it is very compatible with magic, and some magic circles can be engraved on it to enhance its abilities.
"This kind of good thing is well worth studying." Jack nodded with satisfaction.
It would be a pity to treat such a treasure just as an expensive collection to enhance the owner's style.
You can definitely research it and see if you can restore the relevant technology.
Or they can develop similar processes and produce similar finished products to benefit the public.
To take a step back, even if it has no effect, it just emits a little silver light under the irradiation of light.
This characteristic is also quite good when used to make clothes.
"I wonder if there is anything similar in World No. [-]." Jack thought of this.
World No. [-] has been flattened.
Including the Longbottom family over there, and Hogwarts.
Thinking about it, there will be a lot of gains from magical creations and magic props like this.
However, now they are all gathered together and stored casually.
As for further utilization, not yet.
"We can arrange some manpower and let people study it." He kept this plan in his heart and planned to arrange the work later.
Now let's continue shopping and see if there is anything interesting.
Speaking of fun…
"I wonder if that trial passage is worth visiting again?" Jack suddenly thought of this.
There is a trial passage in Longbottom's old house. When he first came here, he entered it with Hermione and Neville to improve his knowledge and various skills in using magic.
That place is pretty nice.
Unfortunately, he was too busy and had too much to do.
Haven't been there since.
just now……
"Seems like an opportunity?"
It’s holiday anyway, so why not go take a look and experience it again.
Just as he was thinking about it, he saw Neville coming in a hurry.
"So you are here." He breathed a sigh of relief, "Grandma wants to see you."
"See me?" Jack looked confused, "Why?"
"Because the matter is rather complicated..." Neville scratched his head in embarrassment, "It's really too complicated. I don't even know where to start."
He had a problem that he didn't know where to start.
"If I have enough time, I hope I can start from scratch." A female voice that was full of energy despite the vicissitudes of life came from far away.
It was Neville's grandmother, Lady Augusta.
Wearing a green dress and a hat made of a vulture, she looked majestic, sinister, and full of momentum.
"Grandma, why did you come directly here?" Neville was a little at a loss.
"Do I look like an unruly person?" Mrs. Augusta frowned, "I want to meet a distinguished guest, but I don't come in person. Is that ridiculous?"
"Uh..." Neville's lips moved, not daring to argue.
In his heart, although Jack is very important, he is indeed his superior and the controller of the kingdom...
Given Jack's status, it would be extremely difficult for ordinary people to meet him.
Not to mention calling people over directly.
But Neville didn't have enough real feelings about these.
Still think it's the same as before.
Grandma wanted to meet Jack, so she ran over in a panic and called Jack.
"Mrs. Augusta, long time no see." Jack greeted in a timely manner, saving Neville from further criticism.
"It's been a long time." Mrs. Augusta turned her head, looked at Jack, and nodded slightly, "Dear guest, how about we go to the living room and enjoy the black tea and snacks at a suitable temperature while chatting?"
"Madam, you don't have to be so formal when talking to me." Jack smiled helplessly, "Of course, it would be nice to go to the living room to chat."
"That's good."
Seeing that Jack had agreed, Augusta walked ahead to lead the way.
He brought the group of people to the living room.
When everyone was seated, the house elf quickly brought tea and snacks to them.
Jack picked up the teacup and tasted it.
It's a pretty good black tea with a rich aroma.
As for what kind of tea it is, he doesn't know. He has not done any research on it.
After sipping tea, it’s time to get down to business.
Mrs. Augusta didn't mince words and got straight to the point: "I heard Neville said that he is working for you and has a lot of power?"
"Indeed." Jack nodded slightly.
"Do you have a way to replace the body so that people can regain their lives?"
"Yes, that's right."
"Neville is working for you, let's not talk about it for now." Mrs. Augusta frowned, "Do you know that your method of changing bodies is very dangerous?"
"Danger?" Jack raised his eyebrows, "Madam, you mean... immortality? Or, eternal life?"
"So you know." Mrs. Augusta was very puzzled. "Since you know that it can make people live forever, why do you still use it casually?"
Eternal life is a very taboo topic.
The main reason why it is taboo is that it is a technology sought after by Voldemort.
Think about the time when Voldemort turned the wizarding world upside down in order to live forever.
"Why can't it be used?" Jack smiled, "It's just a very common technology, not worth hiding. Mrs. Augusta, I think you should understand the truth. Something is very expensive. , people care about it, often not because it is really valuable, but because it is hard to get, very, very hard to get.”
Immortality, when it was rare and rare, Voldemort could start a war for it.
And when it is more common than cabbage on the roadside?
Is Voldemort still willing to start a wizarding war over this?
If he really does that...
I am afraid that I will be classified into the category of cerebral palsy.
As the world knows, valuable oil can breed mold, but cheap pickles can't start a war.
The technology of simply changing bodies to achieve immortality is nothing worth caring about when it is common.
Since it's not worth caring about, why talk about taboos?
The rain came and went quickly, only a matter of minutes.
When the rain stopped, as wizards, Jack and Neville didn't get wet and used apparation to reach Longbottom's old house.
