"Nowadays, in the life of a Magus in school, they can only come into contact with and understand a little bit of black magic in their sixth or seventh grade. They only have a superficial understanding of it before they graduate. As for those Magi who are interested in black magic, when they graduate, they don't even have a basic foundation in this field. They don't know the dangers involved, so they explore on their own and carry out dangerous research and practice. Instead of doing this, it's better to give them a solid foundation from the beginning and not let them have any blind spots. Whether they study black magic or not, they can at least grasp the basic knowledge and know what to pay attention to during research. This way, they can avoid the dangers they encounter in their blind research. "Allen raised his eyebrows and looked directly into Roland's eyes." And from another point of view, in the upcoming battle, they can have a good understanding of the magic their enemies are good at, and they can also learn the necessary protective measures. The opponents they are facing now are not those Red Hats that were introduced in the Defense Against Black Magic class. "
"Professor Harris, you know that those powerful magic can be fascinating. If a wizard who can't control his own behavior goes down the wrong path because he indulges in black magic, then his life will be ruined." Dumbledore's expression became much more serious. "Professor Harris, you can't deny this possibility, and the probability of it happening is very high. If we win the war for them, they won't need to use these methods that may affect their minds to protect themselves. In the real life of a wizard, they won't need to use these methods to protect themselves."
"But before we win the war, what about the wizards who die because they lack the means to protect themselves? We can't give up eating for fear of choking. Principal Dumbledore, if you stop moving forward because of fear, won't you lose the opportunity to move forward forever? " Allen advised seriously and pointed out mercilessly. "And doing this is very unfair to the other little wizards. They have the opportunity to come in contact with a more magical world, broaden their horizons, and increase their strength, but because of your various concerns, they lose this opportunity. I don't think you can make the decision for all the students so easily. Apart from the ordinary life of a wizard, I think wizards with enough ambition and curiosity should have their own path of advancement. Principal Dumbledore, otherwise, why did the founder of Hogwarts set up the Forbidden Books Area? In my opinion, what you did before also went against the original intention of the founder. "
Dumbledore did not give up. He continued to persuade Allen to give up his idea. "We can't protect everyone by doing this, but we can protect the interests of most people. And in the long run, Allen, isn't it better for the wizarding world to create a world without black magic? As for those who are truly ambitious and talented like you, you can obviously continue your own research after graduation. This will eliminate those who do not have enough talent and will, as well as those who have no need in this field. This way, only a small number of people will degenerate into Dark Wizards. Obviously, under the current strong enforcement of the Ministry of Magic, they will not have the chance to cause any big waves. As for those who have no need in this field, they will not have to put themselves in such danger. "
Allen was obviously not persuaded by Dumbledore. He stood up and looked at the headmaster of Hogwarts. "I'm not forcing everyone to learn black magic. Dumbledore, this is just an optional course. I won't give up teaching anyone just because they don't have the 'talent'. As long as a young wizard is interested and can learn and persist in using the Guardian Charm, I'll try my best to teach him anything he wants to learn without reservation. Extraordinary intelligence is the greatest wealth of mankind, but I think knowledge is too. And wealth needs to be circulated to be called wealth. I won't let this wealth only circulate in the hands of a few people. Now, how many of those legendary spells in the history of magic have been lost and how many of them have been mastered by modern wizards? Dumbledore, in my opinion, this is blasphemy against knowledge and the ancestors. "
"Allen, please listen to me." Dumbledore felt that Allen would not reject his next proposal. He confidently interrupted Allen and said, "If you can do this, I'm willing to let myself and the Order of the Phoenix cooperate with the Ministry of Magic to fight against the Dark Lord together. I'll no longer insist that Harry will defeat the Dark Lord in the prophecy. Allen, I think you've misunderstood me. In fact, I don't believe in divination and prophecies. I've even considered banning this subject. The reason why I insist on that prophecy is because the Lord Voldemort chose it and personally marked Harry as the mortal enemy in the prophecy."
"But when you believe in the Lord Voldemort and this prophecy, you've also fallen into it. What matters is not what you think, but what you do." Allen sneered and said, "I'm sorry, Principal Dumbledore. In the previous battle with the Division of Mysteries of the Ministry of Magic, we've proved that we don't need the help of you or the Order of the Phoenix to defeat the Lord Voldemort. Now, I don't think you can use this condition to make me agree with you making decisions on behalf of others. Have you asked for Moody's opinion? Or are you saying that you made the decision for him without permission? "
Dumbledore opened his mouth to refute, but Alan held out his index finger to stop him. Dumbledore swallowed the words that he wanted to refute. "Excuse me, please wait a moment. I'll show you something."
After that, Allen snapped his fingers and summoned his house elf, Maggie, into the principal's office. After whispering something to her, she disappeared for a few minutes and reappeared with a hookah in her hand. Dumbledore's eyes twitched. He knew what Allen wanted to do.
"Don't worry, principal. I'm different from the 'good friend' you're familiar with. I didn't add anything that can help control people's hearts. I'm just showing you …" Allen lit the hookah and took a deep puff before slowly exhaling the smoke above the desk of the principal's office.
The illusion of the ancient Netheril Empire appeared like a mirage in front of Allen and Dumbledore with the smoke.
In the beginning, the village was formed by country bumpkin wizards who had never seen the world. After a period of fanatical learning, it created an achievement and glory that would make the modern wizards stunned.
From the initial alliance of a few small fishing villages, the illusions developed to the point where, thanks to the invention of the Core of Mysera by the Grand Arcanist Eolem, countless floating cities filled with various mage towers floating in the air, protected by protective shields in the deep sea or in lava, appeared before the eyes of the headmaster of Hogwarts.
The smallest Mithra Energy Nuclei, which were as tall as a person and as big as a city, looked like crystal balls. The spheres emitted a very bright light, as dazzling as the sun, and there were some slightly dark shadows on the surface. A gorgeous pedestal fixed the perfect spherical device. Its function was very simple. It could connect the essence of the primitive magical energy and directly transmit the primitive magical energy to the entire territory.
This made it easy for the ancient wizards to create quasi-magical items with constant magical effects. The energy and financial resources needed to create these items were not worth mentioning compared to creating normal magical items. When a quasi-magical item was within the influence of the Mysera Core, it could use the magical energy that was originally instilled in it. Outside the influence range, the quasi-magical item would cease to function. Moreover, as a non-magical item, it could continuously transmit magical power that made the whole mountain float in the air. This was the foundation of those floating cities.
Due to the low cost of these quasi-magical items, the price of traditional magical items was also affected because only those who had left the Mysera Core would need them. As the ordinary people moved in, a large number of quasi-magical items were created to serve the common people. Illuminating magic spheres that could be controlled by various commands and sounds were created. By opening a permanent way to connect to the Water Elemental Plane, people used a simple valve to control the flow of water. After the project was completed and put into use, water pipes were laid directly indoors and water storage facilities were built. Running water was also created, just like the modern wizards and Muggle life. Some auxiliary casting tools even allowed the Muggle to cast a few small spells to help them live in the floating cities.
All these great achievements formed the lost Ancient Magic Empire.
"I know that my family's recent actions have made many people unhappy. However, my headmaster, some people say that we used some dishonorable means to control the Ministry of Magic. They say that I will control the wizarding world and become the third generation of The Dark Lord. But I don't want to become the Dark Lord. No, my goal is not to control the wizarding world to control the Ministry of Magic. " Allen's eyes lit up. He casually walked a few steps with his hands behind his back and sincerely and excitedly described to the headmaster of the Hogwarts. "Headmaster Dumbledore, as someone who is familiar with Muggle, you should know about the achievements of the ancient Roman Empire and the influence of the Muggle Renaissance on the Muggle Renaissance. Magic! As long as we can be like the ancients, we wizards will not only focus on living spells like we do now, but also more comprehensive and more theoretical research and development. What a beautiful world we will create for all wizards! This will be a renaissance for the wizarding world! "
Dumbledore was obviously affected by the illusion and Allen's speech, but his age and tenacity calmed him down. After a moment of silence and inner conflict, the headmaster of the Hogwarts apparently also strengthened his belief. "Allen, I have heard a little about the glory of the ancient Netheril era. Although I used to think of them as legends and fictitious stories, I don't know what you experienced when you fell behind the curtain. But Allen, you have to understand, whether it is the Netheril Magic Empire or the Muggle Roman Empire, although they were strong for a time, they have long been destroyed due to their own reasons. According to the rumors I've heard, the destruction of Netheril was due to their lack of restrictions on research. I'm sorry, but please forgive me for being an overly conservative old man. I still think that if the wizards develop a culture where they don't care about magic and research, the damage to the wizarding world will be much greater than the returns it can bring. "
Alan stared at Dumbledore's actions, which meant that he could no longer convince the stubborn old man in front of him. In the end, he tried his best to add, "That's why I added those learning restrictions in my course. The purpose is to let the wizards learn to recognize the dangers in it, and to let them build a solid foundation as much as possible before they can shine …"
"Well, Professor Harris, we both have our own opinions, but we are all doing this for the development of wizards. It's a pity that we're not on the same page right now, but I hope I can show you that I'm right. It's a pity that I can't persuade you. Since neither of us will compromise on this issue, for the future of more young wizards, I have no choice but to use my authority as the headmaster to cancel this class. "Dumbledore saw that negotiation was useless, and directly wanted to use his power.
Allen leaned forward slightly, and their eyes met in the air. "Dumbledore, I'm also sorry that your idea can't be realized. This class was previously agreed upon by the Ministry of Magic and the school board. If you want to reject it, you'll have to contact enough school board members to let them agree with your decision. However, I also hope I can show you that I'm right."
Dumbledore put his hand on the table and leaned forward. "Because of your family's aggressive attitude, under the current situation, a few school board members have already contacted me. I just want to talk to you first, because compared to those pureblood families, Family Harris will be more helpful in fighting against Lord Voldemort. We could've formed a united front."
Dumbledore's regret came from the bottom of his heart. He actually wanted to unite all the forces that could be united to fight against Lord Voldemort, and Family Harris' goal was actually the same to some extent.
Allen leaned back and sat down again. He crossed his arms in front of his chest and said with a relaxed expression, "Then you can spend some time to contact them. As for me, before you successfully contact enough school board members, I'll continue to be the professor of ancient magic in Hogwarts. According to the Ministry of Magic's plan, we've decided to add this class to the Ordinary Witchcraft Level Test and the Ultimate Witchcraft Level Test in a few years."
Dumbledore nodded helplessly. He narrowed his eyes and stared at Allen for a while. He noticed that Allen's words earlier did not include the Muggle. He was a little unsure whether Allen did not want to benefit the whole human race because of the confidentiality law, or because he thought that the Muggle had other uses and had no place in the world he wanted to build. Dumbledore did not ask the question in his heart. He did not see any discrimination in Allen's treatment of the Muggle born wizards. From the information he gathered, he also knew that Allen used to study in the Muggle school. Moreover, Harris had already taken control of the Ministry of Magic, and under the situation of facing Lord Voldemort and those pureblood families, he should not blindly make more enemies. Dumbledore, who was deeply tired, decided to observe for a while more in this regard, as usual, and make a judgment based on the results of his observation, instead of asking a question that he would not know the answer to now, which would make the already broken relationship more contradictory.
Dumbledore stood up and decided to end the conversation. Although he was regretful that the conversation with Allen had broken down, he believed that the little wizards should not learn black magic, so there was no way he could reach a consensus with Allen due to the contradiction in ideas. However, Dumbledore planned to wait until the relationship between the pureblood families and the Ministry of Magic became worse, and when the conflict became more prominent and more intense, then he could work with them to ban the ancient magic course. "It seems that our conversation will have to end on a sour note. Fortunately, the carnival outside is still very lively, which will let people vent some positive emotions under Umrich's rule. Professor Harris, why don't we go together?"
When Dumbledore stood up and was about to leave, Allen saw a shiny silver sword on the shelf behind him. The hilt of the sword was inlaid with a dazzling egg-sized ruby. Allen saw a name engraved near the hilt — Godrick? Gryffindor.
Thinking of the valiant red-haired wizard and the agreement he had with him, Allen shook his head and replied to Dumbledore, "No need, Headmaster. To me, your decision is like Dolores telling the students to put down their wands and pick up books to read and copy when he teaches the defense against black magic class. I'll go to the Black Lake to get some fresh air. You know, I'm not suitable for overly lively atmosphere."
