Chapter 456 The cruel future, Dumbledore’s worries (first update)

It has to be said that the dream world is also a new thing for Dumbledore.

In the wizarding world, there are not only few studies on dreams, but also very messy and unsystematic. The most involved ones are dream curses.

For example, killing people through dreams and so on.

So after entering the dream world of Karma Taj, Dumbledore devoted most of his energy to studying the dream world.

At first he thought it had something to do with memory.

The scene he saw was somewhat similar to reading memories in the pensieve.

It's just that one can be changed and the other cannot be changed.

Of course, to a certain extent, if you are prepared, the memory can also be changed, and it can achieve an effect similar to the dream world.

But I saw Lockhart playing with the space of the dream world, especially time.

For Dumbledore, it also caused a great shock.

Although I know that the accelerated time in the dream world is not reality.

But for wizards, the spirit is more important than the body.

In other words, if what Lockhart said really comes true, just tapping the potential backwards will be no less than a new way of extending life.

And, this is a new path!

For him, a delayed lifespan may not be too important because he has the phoenix blood of the Dumbledore family.

But for other wizards, especially older wizards, this is no less than a ray of hope in the eternal darkness.

As Lockhart demonstrated the change of time, he did not notice the breath of time.

But he can clearly notice that his consciousness is accelerating, and relatively speaking, other things are starting to slow down. To another extent, it has achieved the effect of time acceleration.

The consciousness does not seem to have many side effects and becomes clearer.

This made Dumbledore breathe a sigh of relief, as time was not really involved.

Acceleration of consciousness, there is also magic that can achieve similar effects.

Despite this, he felt that he was a little old, and there were too many things in the wizarding world that he still couldn't understand.

For example, meditation, runes, and the current dream world.

Lockhart has too many new things and has had more and more impact on the wizarding world.

In this regard, he just lamented that he was old and was not ready to do anything more.

He has lived for hundreds of years, and to this point, he doesn't bother to hinder others from pursuing progress as long as they don't do anything evil.

After all, the wizarding world has to improve, right?

To be honest, he was not particularly satisfied with the wizarding world that used to be a backwater.

However.

While he felt that the dream world was accelerating his consciousness, it might be because his strength was too high, or the consumption of consciousness by accelerating their group of wizards was not low.

He seemed to sense the energy of the dream world.

It was mental power, to be precise, extremely messy mental power. He seemed to feel a familiar aura.

Familiar and confusing! Broken and vast!

It was a spiritual sea where all the Muggles in London exuded residual spiritual power every day.

No wonder, Karma Taj mainly recruits students in London.

No wonder, a magic lasted for more than 4 hours in London, which occupies 1,577 square kilometers.

I see

"Lockhart, is the source of this dream world the spiritual power of Muggles in London?"

Listening to Dumbledore's serious and questioning tone, Lockhart immediately understood.

But he didn't care, nodded slowly, and said gently: "Of course, the dream world needs to run for a long time, and a reliable energy source must be found."

At this point, Lockhart said to Dumbledore in a tone of don't make a fuss: "Headmaster, these remaining messy mental powers cannot be used by wizards, and they have no effect on Muggles."

"I collect it as a new energy consumption. It doesn't seem to hinder anyone, and it doesn't violate the confidentiality law."

Well, the words revealed that Dumbledore was a bit nosy.

After hearing this, Fudge nodded in agreement.

You are so old, why do you have to worry about so many things every day?

Isn't it just some residual mental power? What's the big deal.

If these mental powers didn't dissipate on their own every day, then the Ministry of Magic would most likely have to set up a special department to deal with these mental garbage.

Yes, in the eyes of wizards, although these messy mental powers are abundant, they are just garbage.

It has no effect at all, and it will pollute yourself if you are exposed to it too much.

After all, people's hearts are messy, especially in a bustling city like London, where all kinds of people's negative emotions and mental powers are mixed together.

That's just rubbish among rubbish.

Fudge complained a few words in his heart, but didn't say much.

After all, Dumbledore has a criminal record.

He has interfered with the Ministry of Magic's decision-making before.

At this moment, Dumbledore looked serious. He was not as ambitious as Fudge.

With his vision, the dream world is not scary.

But the scary thing is that it is based on the spiritual power of Muggles.

Even if these are all remnants.

But this reveals that Muggles are likely to become a resource, a resource exclusive to the dream world.

Moreover, if the dream world is further promoted.

Then the existence of Muggles will become an existence like oil.

It is not difficult to imagine what the future holds.

When Muggles become a resource, a resource of high value to wizards

Then what follows is a very familiar scene.

conquer! plunder!

There will even be barbaric territorial divisions, and even treating Muggles as slaves and consumables, and other barbaric behaviors.

It's like colonization in the Age of Sail.

As the empire on which the sun never sets, the wizards of the British wizarding world have established their status as the hegemons of the wizarding world.

To this day, I still enjoy the remaining shade.

"Lockhart, what else is special about this dream world?" Fudge asked again, ignoring Dumbledore's inner thoughts.

He felt more and more that this dream world was very, very good.

The energy consumed turned out to be mental garbage, but the effect achieved could be called a treasure.

This kind of behavior of turning waste into treasure is simply too praiseworthy.

He decided that this achievement must be recorded in the history of the Ministry of Magic——

Under the promotion of Minister Fudge, a business that turns waste into treasure will benefit the entire wizarding world and the Muggle world.

"Of course, there are many benefits to the dream world." Lockhart began to introduce without hesitation: "He can increase the effect of practicing meditation and simulate actual combat scenarios."

"If you want to learn magic knowledge and refine magic potions, the dream world can be used as your training ground to reduce the loss of materials."

"."

Lockhart kept exaggerating the benefits of the dream world, and Dumbledore frowned tightly.

And Fudge's face showed more obsession and joy.

Good stuff, good stuff!

When Lockhart paused, Fudge did not hesitate and spoke excitedly.

"Lockhart, let's see if we can build a dream world for the Ministry of Magic. All costs will be paid by the Ministry of Magic."

"Furthermore, the Ministry of Magic will pay to the satisfaction of Karma Taj."

When the words fell and before Lockhart could agree, Dumbledore sat aside and intervened.

"Lockhart, I suddenly thought of something very important. Do you have time to talk about it now?"
