"Just to welcome Muggle?" Grindelwald leaned back in his chair and smirked. He glanced at Hermione and paused. "Allen, I thought you did all this just to help Lady Ravenclaw gather her faith …"
"Of course, the most important thing is indeed faith. However, if we can let them have a certain understanding of the power of the Magic World, it will be a deterrent to them …" Grindelwald who was in front of him was an expert in bewitching people so Alan was more honest and relaxed when he spoke to him. "The Muggle Prime Minister and the senior officials he brought will become wizards in the future but they have no feelings or sense of belonging to our Magic World … Although in my plan, I will let these people live in the Magic World for a long time and slowly change their way of thinking, the first batch of them are adults and they have already formed a fixed worldview … Although theoretically, the Muggle Prime Minister is supervised by the wizards and can't do anything, I think it's better to let them know this from the bottom of their hearts."
Hermione was eating fried eggs to fill her stomach. When she heard Allen's words, she nodded in her heart. She and Allen discussed this so that they could nip the possible conflict between Muggle and the wizards in the bud.
"Allen, since the establishment of the University of Hogwarts until now, after a period of hard work, it has begun to get on the right track. The students have also started to learn the knowledge of ancient magic …" Grindelwald sat up straight, but his indifferent tone had a power that no one dared to ignore. "Although you imitated Muggle's research university before you set it up, it's not realistic to expect results in a short time. It's not easy for the knowledge inside to get out of this ivory tower and affect ordinary wizards." Grindelwald spread out his hands and raised his round chin. "Although the Temple of Ravenclaw is open to everyone, most of the ordinary wizards are not that ambitious. They just want to live their own lives and live a normal life. It's hard for them to consciously walk into the temple and learn the knowledge like Allen and your original plan. Therefore, it's hard for these ordinary wizards to come in contact with the ancient magic knowledge."
Hermione felt that Grindelwald's words made sense. She frowned and couldn't think of a solution at the moment. She leaned back in her chair and habitually grabbed her brown hair with one hand, making her thick and fluffy hair even more disheveled, which made Anka unhappy.
But in just a few seconds, Alan couldn't stand it anymore. He grabbed Hermione's hand that was constantly rubbing his head. Although he felt that Hermione's action was like a cat that was constantly wiping its head with its hand, it was quite cute.
"Hermione, look at the few strands of brown hair on the floor. Don't let Anka have no place to stay because of your bad habit. Also, since Gelert brought up this problem, he must have a solution." Allen pulled Hermione's arm, making her feel a little embarrassed. He then looked at Grindelwald. "Also, I think Gelert wants to talk about more problems."
"Modern wizards have fixed spells on some objects. However, the more powerful the spell, the higher the requirement for the quality of the object, which led to the high price." Grindelwald paused and glanced at Allen and Hermione. "Allen, in the knowledge of ancient magic you provided … the skill of copying scrolls is very suitable for the current situation. Although it's a one-time consumable, it allows ordinary wizards to activate the scroll with a little bit of mana to use the spell."
"The cost of copying scrolls is indeed not high compared to directly attaching the spell to the object. Other than the ink with dragon blood, parchment and some other tools don't count. But on the other hand, it's different from how even students can easily attach magic spells to strange objects. The skill of copying scrolls has a very high requirement on the level of ancient magic words of the person who copied it … This labor cost … That's why Umbrella has never paid attention to it … "Hermione frowned in confusion, and then her eyes lit up." Mr. Grindelwald … You want the university students to do this? It doesn't make much sense to use this skill on common spells, but if it's magic that ordinary people in the university can't learn … "
"That's right. I think many people will be willing to buy a few scrolls and carry them with them." Allen's fingers tapped on the table habitually, and the little hand on the table mischievously imitated Allen's movements.
"Wizards who don't specialize in ancient magic in the university can also use this model. Umbrella will provide resources and money to the university, and the university will use the resources on the students to let them do research and practice. They can also let the part-time students use their free time to complete some orders." Hermione sat up straight, and her loose brown hair fell to her chest. After being enlightened, she said in a hurried tone, "Not everyone is interested in ancient magic. We can follow this model and give the students who specialize in other subjects the opportunity to have this opportunity. Before those valuable research subjects are pushed out, these small places can allow Umbrella and the university to quickly complete some cooperation. The university students can also benefit from this model. We copy Muggle's model to achieve a win-win situation … This is a small goal achieved in advance."
"Hermione, you're right." Allen tightened his grip on Hermione's hand that he didn't let go just now, and let her come back to her senses. "Gatler's main purpose for talking about this should be mainly about another problem …" Allen turned his head to look at Grindelwald, who had a smile on his face. "The aborigines, immigrants … their problem?"
"Indeed." Grindelwald nodded with satisfaction. "Although the number of wizards in your floating city is increasing day by day, and it has become a real city, but … it is more of a school in people's minds. I heard from Lunn that you're changing the law … and the floating trajectory of the floating city itself after it floats in the air. Allen, you've helped me bear the pressure from foreign countries … so I think, as a Hogwarts, I should let more people who don't feel this way realize that they should feel this way."
"Yes, this is a problem of belonging. The immigrants haven't changed their mentality yet. Like the Italian wizards and those refugees, most of them still think that they are wizards from their own country. As for the British wizards, although many of them have some 'nationalistic' pride, if the Hogwarts label the British too heavily, it will affect this kind of integration." Allen nodded in agreement with Grindelwald's speculation. "The Hogwarts need to strengthen its independence, and we also need to increase everyone's sense of belonging and identity. Let them wish that they are a 'Hogwarts wizard,' and not let them become a wizard of the British magic world … Don't worry, Hermione. Of course, we're not giving up on the United Kingdom."
Hermione, who was already quite good at business, didn't have so much practice on this issue. She still couldn't figure out Allen and Grindelwald's plan for a while.
"The nuclear energy ensures the floating city's advantage in manufacturing. The deal with Muggle gives us enough cheap non-magical resources to produce some basic products." Allen explained to Hermione. "When we have a certain amount of savings, we can enter the market of other countries at a low price …"
"And the university guarantees the cutting-edge magic technology of the Hogwarts." Grindelwald took over the conversation. "This is almost our exclusive business. Even if other countries want to imitate the pureblood families, they won't be willing to contribute their knowledge and use it to build a university." He smiled sarcastically. "When the time comes, the products of the world's wizards will be monopolized by us … More importantly, Allen has the Philosopher's Stone. If we compete and monopolize, no one will believe that Harris is doing it for money. And we're not doing it for money in the first place. This is to expand the concept and influence of the Hogwarts."
"Just using business to let the foreigners understand us is not enough. Gatler, I actually have another idea. It's aimed at our own people... Then, let's just say it now. When the time comes to welcome the muggle prime minister, let them use it first." As Allen spoke, he summoned his Grand Arcanist's Staff from nothingness. "I'll use the holidays to make a few mass-produced versions for the university. Then, under the lead of the top wizards in your university, let the Hogwarts on the floating city develop the habit of using magic staffs in addition to wands …" Allen held his staff. "It can be used as a magic amplification device. Although the amount of products used by ordinary wizards can't reach the amplification level of the old wand, and they can't use magic as accurately and quickly as a wand, it's still easy for us to add a few spells on it according to the user's needs. It can be used as a symbol of the identity of the Hogwarts …"
"But it's a good idea. No matter where you came from, with this, they can accept their new identity faster and prouder …" One of Grindelwald's eyes quickly narrowed, making him look emotionless. "Actually, my alma mater, Demstrand, still has the tradition of using magic staffs. However, it's mostly for ceremonial purposes … Just like the Goblet of Fire you participated in back then, I saw from the video that those kids actually used a crude magic staff as a ceremonial stick. They used it together with a wand and showed some acrobatics …"
"Hermione, I'll explain it to you in detail during the holidays. I'll personally customize a good staff for you and Gellar … But in the future, Hogwarts products, no matter if it's from the Umbrella Company or not, as long as it's produced on our floating space, remember to engrave this on the products …" Alan's slender fingers drew a few lines in the air, and a row of shiny silver letters appeared in the air.
