Falsifying history is good business

Chapter 268 When Capital Comes into the World

While the Ministry of Magic was racking its brains to study the Forresters, Lin You was studying the Dementor "Ashes" that he had brought back. When in the warehouse, the gloomy wood wand sensed the pure dark aura contained in "Ashes", which was no different from the devils of hell.

If it was just similar to the devil, it wouldn't be surprising. With the key to hell given by Lucifer, Lin You could get as many similar things as he wanted. The most surprising thing about "Ashes" was that in addition to the dark aura, it was also wrapped in a layer of pure divinity - the divinity from the sun god Helios.

Sunlight alone cannot kill Dementors. High temperatures, light radiation, microwaves, etc. can only harm but not completely kill these dark creatures. The light from the "Helios Sphere" can burn and kill Dementors. The decisive factor is the residual divinity of the sun god on it.

The deeper Lin You's understanding of the Ophiuchus microcosm, the more he understands the specialness of divinity. Divinity is a kind of rule-based power that transcends the boundaries of magic and science and shapes the field that conforms to the divinity itself.

Just like the light emitted by the "Sphere of Helios", although the temperature is not high, at most it is equivalent to being exposed to the sun without protection on a hot summer day. However, once marked as an attack target by the user of the "Sphere", the opponent is equivalent to facing the origin of the sun god directly.

In the real dimension, humans worship the sun regardless of race or civilization, and have very similar definitions. The original power of the sun is light, which can dispel darkness and coldness and give life positive power.

On the other hand, the Dementor is an extremely dark creature; from sucking human emotions to devouring human souls, its habits have too many similarities with the demons in hell.

Rowling, the author of Harry Potter, once confirmed that the design of Dementors was inspired by depression. In ancient times when civilization was not yet developed, many mental illnesses, including depression, were often seen as the destruction of humans by demons. Perhaps this is the main reason why there is such a coincidence between Dementors and demons.

When reality shines into fantasy, many changes in details naturally arise; under the comparison of the two, every characteristic of the sun god's divinity completely defeats the Dementors.

After the divinity of the Sun God "burns" the bodies of the Dementors, it remains in their "ashes", closely attached to the dark aura they represent, and inseparable.

"It has the dual characteristics of light and darkness. It is not only an excellent raw material for black magic props, but also a neutralizer for many potions and alchemy. Especially for potions or alchemy that require the use of both light and dark raw materials, this ash can perfectly reconcile the property conflicts between the materials. By analogy, if a demon is burned in the same way, the remaining material should have similar properties."

When the old butler came to report that the Minister of Magic and the headmaster of Hogwarts were visiting, Lin You had just finished the test and recorded the test results; then, for some unknown reason, he came to the reception room with the test records.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Minister, and Professor Dumbledore." Lin You greeted them indifferently, "I've been busy doing experiments. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for a long time."

"It's okay, Your Excellency. The in-depth study of magic is an admirable job, but I know I don't have this talent. To be honest, the werewolf serum launched by the Forrest family is the most eye-catching achievement in the wizarding world in recent years!" Cornelius Fudge was in high spirits, frankly showing his politician's nature and sincerely complimenting a ten-year-old child.

No wonder he could become the Minister of Magic without any real skills! Cornelius Fudge then talked about everything: the weather, business, and the traditional friendship between the Earls of Goff and people from all walks of life in the wizarding world. The atmosphere naturally eased.

The Minister of Magic took the initiative to soften his stance, so Earl Goff could not continue to be aggressive. After all, the Dementors that caused the trouble had been burned to death, and the wands of a large number of Ministry of Magic employees had been confiscated. He should have vented his anger. Lin You had a lot of thoughts in his mind, and he didn't want the Minister of Magic to simply evade the matter.

"By the way, Mr. Minister, the main disagreement between Mr. Thicknesse and I is that the Dementors themselves are unclear. Now that you are here, why not confirm it for me: Are these Azkaban jailers intelligent creatures or magical creatures? Are they hunters or tamed hounds?"

"This... this..." Cornelius Fudge sighed, not understanding why they were suddenly back to this troublesome topic. "The Ministry of Magic has not yet reached a conclusion. We still need to collect more opinions. As you know, Dementors are considered to be new species created by humans. Current laws strictly prohibit such magical experiments. Therefore, we need to be cautious in the characterization of Dementors. We think we should be even more cautious."

As expected of a minister, his excuses and perfunctory speeches were more logical and logical than his previous pleasant attitude towards Lin You.

Lin You sneered in his heart, but his face showed regret; "That's a pity. I also hope that the Ministry of Magic can make a definition as soon as possible, and it would be best if Dementors can be defined as magical creatures."

"Why?" Cornelius Fudge's ears immediately pricked up; his politician's instinct made him realize that Lin You had something else to say.

"You can take a look at my test results... It's okay, you can let Professor Dumbledore explain it to you." Lin You handed over the test data in his hand, and then seeing the hesitation on the minister's face, he handed it to the principal.

"I won't talk about the test data. I'll just briefly explain the conclusion." Lin You took full account of Cornelius Fudge's emotions. "The ashes left after the Dementors were burned to death are a very excellent potion and alchemical material. My personal evaluation is that it has broad market prospects."

"You...you want to raise Dementors, and then, and then..." The minister's face showed horror, as if what he saw before him was not a boy, but a horrible monster with blood oozing from every pore from head to toe.

Lin You said excitedly: "Yes, raise Dementors, burn them to death when they grow to a certain size, and collect the 'ashes' for sale. Of course, the specific size to which they should be raised, and how much human emotions should be taken in during the breeding process, still need further verification; I hope to cooperate with Azkaban Prison, and then the Ministry of Magic can also enjoy part of the profits."

The Minister shook his head like a rattle and said repeatedly: "No, no, no, I think we should be more cautious. Yes, we should be more cautious and not make decisions lightly."

"Please think about it again, Mr. Minister." Lin You tried to persuade him. "This material has a property that is almost impossible to replicate. Once it is put on the market, the demand from potion masters and alchemy masters will be huge. It may even promote the leapfrog development of the two industries."

"No, I need to think about it again and be more cautious." The Minister of Magic responded incoherently, and quickly found an excuse to flee - he didn't dare to look at the experimental data from beginning to end.

　I had a cold yesterday, and after dinner I wrote more than a thousand words but couldn’t hold on and fell asleep. When I woke up it was already past eleven o’clock in the evening, and it was too late to write any more. I’m sorry.
