Chinese students at Hogwarts.

Chapter 520 Angel Arrives
Magic Network, this is a strange but familiar word.

I am familiar with it because in my previous life, Zhang Xiao could be seen in various games and literary works.

But it was strange because it was quite inconsistent to say this word in Dumbledore's mouth.

But the Magic Network that Dumbledore talked about and the Magic Network that he heard in his previous life were obviously two different things.

The magic network in the DND worldview connects everything in the world. The mage needs to build a spell model and prepare spell slots.

If out of the magic network, most mages will lose their ability to cast spells.

But what Dumbledore called the [Standard Spell System] Magic Network is a completely different concept.

It is the result of all wizards' solidified understanding of the standard spell system. Every node of it is the wizard's own knowledge.

Relying on this cognitive system, wizards only need to chant spells and use the entire standard spell system to easily release magic.

The power of high-level magic and magic is related to the user's awareness and compatibility with the entire standard spell system.

For example, a first-grade wizard has just come into contact with magic and has only a vague understanding of the standard spell system.

He could only cast some simple spells, but as he grew older and learned more and more things.

The little wizard's understanding of the standard spell system is naturally getting stronger and stronger, so the magic he can release is becoming more and more advanced.

It even becomes more and more powerful.

If the standard spell system breaks down, their spellcasting ability remains
Wait a minute!

Zhang Xiao suddenly hugged his head and his eyes widened. If...if the standard spell system continued to develop like this.

Wizards are becoming more and more dependent on this alternative magic network.

If this system collapses one day, wizards may not be able to cast magic!

Because the essence of magic is to distort reality by will, and the Magic Network is their cognition. Once the Magic Network collapses one day, it means that their cognition will also collapse.

Unless we start studying abstract 'source magic' again like the ancient wizards did?
Isn't this just like DND's Magic Network? One is building a spell model hummingly, and the other is as abstract as going crazy?
The difference is that there is no god in the magic network in this world?

"Zhang, you seem to have heard of the concept of magic net?"

"Well, I've heard of it, but I don't know much about it. It's a concept in the game created by Muggles."

Zhang Xiao pinched the bridge of his nose and tried hard to suppress his chaotic thoughts. He actually didn't know much about DND.

I vaguely remember that DND came out more than ten years ago. Yes, the Muggle society in this world is exactly the same as it was in my previous life.

If some details weren't right, Zhang Xiao would really feel like it was his own world.

"Muggles?" Dumbledore looked a little surprised, and he said in a leisurely tone: "Muggles' imaginations are really outstanding.

I don’t know them well enough.”

He looked at Zhang Xiao and suddenly said:

"Zhang, do you know what unexpected changes will happen once the magic network is formed?"

What changes have occurred in the formation of the Magic Network? Wouldn’t it be that wizards would turn into baboons mindlessly wielding sticks?

You don't need any brain power to release the spell, just recite the spell directly.

Dumbledore slowly opened his hand, and the Elder Wand floated gently in his palm. He said in a meaningful tone:

"The wand is wise."

Zhang Xiao looked at him in astonishment, chewing on these words, and suddenly he was stunned. He felt that he had been shocked a lot tonight.

"What do you mean?" Bill was a little confused.

"Professor Dumbledore, what do you mean?" Zhang Xiao breathed, humming as if he had a toothache: "You want to promote the wand?"

"Oh? You guessed it right away? Zhang, your sensitivity is amazing."

Dumbledore laughed happily.

Isn't this difficult to guess? Once the magic web becomes more and more perfect, it will be extremely easy to release the spell. Muggles cannot activate the magic web because they don't have the magical power of wizards.

But a wand can!

In other words, if the Magic Weave is really perfected, as long as Muggles are given a wand that is completely suitable for them and connects with their minds, Muggles can completely let the wand activate the Magic Weave.

Because it no longer requires the will of the wizards as it did in the past, the Magic Network itself is a huge collection of cognitive distortions.

So it is completely feasible for Muggles to use magic with a wand.

Magic for all?

Will Muggles and wizards merge into one? ?

Is this the result Dumbledore has been pursuing?
Grindelwald leaned back in his seat and looked up at the starry sky. This idea had been told to him by Dumbledore when he invited him to participate in Operation Gringotts for the first time.

This unprecedented thought completely dissipated the last trace of unwillingness in Grindelwald's heart.

If there is no longer any difference between wizards and Muggles, and both can use magic, is there still a need for a life-or-death war?
No need at all!
Fear comes from the unknown, from not understanding!

This was also the second time Grindelwald faced Voldemort, and he told Nick Flamel that the greatest benefit now is Albus.

"But there are still many problems with this plan, such as how to produce billions of wands. The production of wands has never been an easy task.

Muggles in particular need a wand that fits perfectly.

Nick and I have long been discussing how to achieve the fusion of the two through alchemical equipment and magic wands.

But the most critical thing now is when the magic network can achieve the effect I want, and how the two sides get along during this blank period."

Dumbledore clapped his hands, and a cold murderous intention slowly emerged in his blue eyes:
"Muggles are not the enemy, nor should they be, but the Church is!"

Brussels
top of a skyscraper
Dumbledore, Zhang Xiao, Grindelwald and Nicolas Flamel stood on the rooftop, looking down at the buildings in the distance filled with national flags.

"The church's headquarters has been moved here?"

Zhang Xiao's eyes were a little strange. It's hard to even mention the name of this place.
"In fact, it's not that we did nothing during this period." Dumbledore's white robes rustled in the wind, and his expression was a little solemn: "At least we have reached a unified opinion on attacking the church.

The church may have guessed that we wanted to take revenge, so it has been changing locations in an attempt to speed up integration with the Muggle upper class.
But with the efforts of the Aurors, we finally found this place. "

Zhang Xiao was silent for a while, pointing to the building below, with a very complicated tone:

"So, Professor Dumbledore, your plan is that we rush down directly, Mr. Nick seals the building, and you and Mr. Grindelwald work together to clear the way.

Then I rescued innocent Muggles with my magic eyes? "

"I think this shouldn't be difficult for you. Zhang, do you think this plan will be difficult to succeed?"

Dumbledore thought carefully for a while and felt that the plan had been very careful, fully considering the possible hidden power of the church and preparing a backup plan. And the safety of Muggles was also taken into consideration.

Is there anything else that I don't know that might make it difficult for me and others to deal with it?
If this is really the case, things will be a bit tricky. Dumbledore's expression gradually became serious. The four people present are already the strongest force that the wizarding world can bring.

If the four of them can't solve it, I'm afraid they still have a huge misjudgment of the church, which is not what I thought before.

Seeing that the three old men were obviously serious, Zhang Xiao covered his face, he shouldn't.

"Professor, do you know where this place is down here?"

Dumbledore reacted immediately: "Is this a place that is very important to Muggles? The Auror just said that this is a place where Muggles hold meetings."

"Actually, it's important or not, but it's mainly about face. To put it another way, it's a bit like the headquarters of the International Federation of Wizards."

The three old men understood instantly. After they were silent for a while, Dumbledore sighed softly:

"If that's the case, I'm afraid we really need to reconsider. Attacking the building is likely to trigger a confrontation between Muggles and wizards."

Zhang Xiao pinched his chin and looked thoughtfully at the building below, his heart ready to explode.

"Professor, it doesn't seem impossible, but I need your help!"

Owen was holding coffee and yawning tiredly. As an employee of the European Union, the whole world has been quarreling recently, and he is also very busy.

And since some church members wearing white robes moved into the building, the quarrels have obviously become more intense.

Some people firmly support the church's war against wizards, while the other side is increasingly opposed, feeling that it will drag mankind into an unreasonable disaster.

Their speeches were extremely persuasive: "According to the theory, wizards have always existed and have lived in peace for thousands of years. Why should they rashly break the balance?

As for what the church said, it was all thanks to them to keep wizards honest in the Middle Ages, that is even more nonsense! In modern times, we don’t rely on them, and wizards don’t cause trouble, right?
They even paid for renting the gym! "

Owen actually doesn't care who is right and who is wrong. He prefers to be free from work and preferably get a raise. As for fighting the wizard?
Why should I go to war with a wizard who seems to have done nothing? Just because I know about their existence?

Well, according to the propaganda, wizards can control people's hearts, which seems really scary, but Owen feels that wizards will definitely not control a small employee like him who earns two hundred euros a week.

At this moment, he suddenly felt that the sky outside seemed to be getting dark, and Owen raised his head in surprise.

I saw that the entire sky had been covered by dark clouds. The originally clear sky had become gloomy. The dark clouds were getting lower and lower, and finally seemed to be touching the top of the skyscraper.

A heavy and depressing atmosphere surrounded everyone's hearts.

Many people even rushed out of the building and looked up at the sky.

The same is true for the vehicles and pedestrians on the streets. This horrific scene directly gave many people the illusion of the end of the world.

"What's going on? Is it going to rain heavily?"

Owen held the coffee cup, and the dark cloud seemed to be weighing on his heart, giving him an uneasy and depressing feeling.

Just as he was recalling whether there was rain in the weather forecast, screams suddenly rang out around him.

Owen raised his head and saw a big hole opened above the thick dark clouds, and a beam of sunlight shined directly down from the hole.

A huge pillar of light was left in the gloomy sky.

Immediately afterwards, faint sacred music sounded in Owen's ears.

"Did you hear anything?" A woman next to her swallowed her saliva and asked nervously.

Owen glanced at her, this was the boss of the next department!

"Yes ma'am, did you hear it too? The sound seemed... like the singing I heard in church, sacred music?"

It seemed that he was not the only one who heard it. Owen let out a sigh of relief, thinking that he had violated his faith by going to Pink Lady yesterday and would be punished for his sins.

He looked around and found that most people were looking around in confusion. They must have heard them all.

Then the lady next to him suddenly took a long breath and said tremblingly:

“oh my god!!!”

Owen raised his head, and then stared at the sky in stunned silence.

In the pillar of light that looked like holy light, a white figure slowly descended from the hole in the clouds.

Behind the figure is a huge, pure white wing.

The moment it appeared, the chanting that sounded like sacred music suddenly became louder.

Not only Owen, but everyone who witnessed this opened their mouths wide and stared blankly at the figures in the sky gradually descending.

Those wings are so eye-catching, not to mention that many people with better eyes can clearly see a shining, glowing aperture on the top of the figure's head!

"Angel!"

Finally someone called out.

"The angel has come! Lord, I know you have not abandoned me!"

These words seemed to turn on some kind of switch, and countless people watching this scene crossed themselves on their chests.

At the same time, I was desperately recalling my mistakes in my mind. Would it be useful if I repented now?
A very small number of staunch Puritans were already in tears.

As for Owen, he was already panicking. He knelt on the ground and desperately confessed that he went to Pink Lady yesterday. He cried bitterly and said that the reason why he ordered two was because they both had a sick mother, an alcoholic father, and domestic violence. Husband, a broken home.

I am helping them.

Oh God! forgive me!

"Is this really useful?" Grindelwald held up his wand and maintained the celestial magic. This meant that he was extremely powerful and could still chat while maintaining such a huge celestial magic.

Nicolème continued to throw out the magic loudspeakers that had cast the Disillusionment Curse one by one, and said with a smile:
"At least for now, the effect is pretty good."

There was a vague shadow of a net in Dumbledore's blue eyes. He had the heaviest task. In addition to sealing off the area, he also had to bear the responsibility of protecting the Muggles.

"Zhang's ideas are always so wonderful, but... quite useful!"

Zhang Xiao, who cosplayed as Birdman in the sky, smiled, and the shrunken talisman wheel above his head began to flicker.

He hurriedly calmed down and stretched out his hand. The lightning-struck wooden wand buzzed and trembled, turning into a spear that looked very Western.

The Muggles who saw this scene didn't even need to guide themselves, they just exclaimed and made up their minds;
"Longinus! It's Longinus!"

Zhang Xiao nodded with satisfaction and prepared to accept the trial!
Defeat it with magic. Oh no, defeat the church with angels!
