Drink Black Tea Calmly at Hogwarts

　　 A few days before Christmas, it is the polar night in the Arctic Circle. Throughout the day, there is no sun in the sky, only the vast starry sky and brilliant aurora. Such an experience made Zhang Xu and Furong feel very novel.

In the past few days, Zhang Xu and Furong experienced huskies and reindeer sleigh rides, sent postcards to family and friends in Santa Claus Village, sled skiing in the mountains and forests, and took snowmobiles to ice fishing on the frozen lake. . As for the last one to be 18 years old and require a driver's license, this is trivial to wizards.

　　 Karelian pie, white trout pie, rye bread, cinnamon rolls, blueberry pie, char-grilled salmon, fried venison, cheese bread, savory licorice candies and other local specialties made the two full a treat.

　　 On the last night of the trip, Zhang Xu was lying on the bed holding Furong, and the two were chatting while looking at the aurora outside the window. Tomorrow is Christmas Eve, and they will return to France early in the morning.

　　 "Xu, what do you think the magic world will look like in the future?" Furong asked suddenly.

　　 "What do you think?" Zhang Xu asked rhetorically.

"I don't know. Some students in the school said that the future of the magic world should be like Huaxia, where wizards and Muggles live together. But other students said that the magic world should be completely isolated from Muggle society. "Furong said distressedly.

　　 "Then I will tell you briefly about the relationship between wizards and ordinary people."

"Ok."

"Thousands of years ago, humans were still in the Stone Age. At that time, human productivity was still very low, and they were very vulnerable to beasts, natural disasters and diseases. At that time, humans had not built cities and countries, only clan tribes. In tribes Only powerful people can become leaders. The earliest wizards, they are powerful for ordinary people, they use magic to protect people in the tribe from natural disasters, beasts, diseases, and enemies. In that At that time, the wizards in the tribe were the leaders and guardians of the tribe."

　　 "At that time, the birth and inheritance of wizards were very difficult, and the number of wizards was very small, so wizards could only survive in the society of ordinary people."

　　 "With the development of the times, ordinary people entered the Bronze Age from the Stone Age, and then into the Iron Age. The magic of wizards has also developed in the battle against natural disasters, beasts, diseases, and enemies."

　　 "However, more than two thousand years ago, the relationship between wizards and ordinary people in the East and the West took a different path."

　　 "In more than three hundred BC, the ancient Greek philosopher Xenocrates defined a wizard as a person who uses the power of the devil. Since then, wizards in the West and ordinary people have embarked on a road of opposition."

"In the following hundreds of years, ordinary people in European countries were afraid of the unknown powers held by wizards, causing ordinary people to become hostile to wizards. Because of this hostility, wizards also separated themselves from ordinary people. Come on. Because the hostility between wizards and ordinary people has been accumulated and fermented, it has become the foundation of the witch hunting movement in the future."

　　 "In the Middle Ages, in order to consolidate its rule, religion started the witch hunting movement. Many wizards and more innocent ordinary people were regarded as hunting targets.

　　 "From then on, the relationship between wizards and ordinary people broke."

　　 "Until the rise of the Renaissance and the Enlightenment, things changed, and wizards became synonymous with scholars, such as alchemists and doctors."

　　 "At that time, as the struggle between imperial power and religious power in European countries intensified, all countries began to abolish religious witch hunts."

　　 "At that time, however, the relationship between wizards and ordinary people could not heal."

　　 "After the first industrial revolution, the power of science and technology mastered by ordinary people gradually increased. At this time, ordinary people no longer fear the power of wizards, and then no longer hostile to wizards."

　　 "From then on, with the continuous efforts of some wizards, the relationship between wizards and ordinary people was eased."

　　 "In the East, wizards have been participating in the development of ordinary society."

　　 "For example, about 5000 years ago, the Huangdi tribe united with the Yandi tribe and fought a battle with the Chiyou tribe from the east in Zhuolu. The wizards of Chiyou used magic to create a thick fog that filled three days and three nights."

　　 "About 1044 BC, the wizards headed by Jiang Ziya helped Zhou Wu Wang Ji to attack the Shang emperor Xin, and Shang emperor Xin Yifang also had the help of Wen Zhong, Shen Gongbao and other wizards."

　　 "The wizards of the East have always been at the forefront of fighting against natural disasters, wild beasts and diseases, leaving behind the folk legends such as Dayu's control of water, the killing of Xiangyu, and Shennong's taste of herbs."

"In addition, the wizards of the East are also attached to the imperial power. From the beginning, many wizards have appeared as officials, and many folklore have been left. If you look at the history of China, you will see how much more famous officials are. It is rare to leave some'miracles'. Some wizards, such as Zhang Jiao, participated in the struggle for imperial power."

"The most important thing is that ordinary people in the East are not afraid of the power of wizards, but yearning. Wizards can walk freely among ordinary people. If he can solve problems such as drought, disease, and beasts for ordinary people, then he Will be worshipped by ordinary people around ~www.readwn.com~ This allows many wizards from ordinary people to be discovered and cultivated by the older generation of wizards when they are young, and they can be inherited from the older generation of wizards. If a family is born A wizard, then the status of the entire family can be improved."

　　 "Under this background, from ancient times to the present, wizards and ordinary people in the East lived together almost without any barriers."

　　 "Therefore, the relationship between wizards and ordinary people is determined by the attitude of ordinary people towards the power of wizards."

The reason for this difference between the Eastern and Western magical world is certainly not as simple as Zhang Xu said, but now I’m on vacation with my girlfriend, and some things can be explained briefly. If you hold your sister, you can analyze this problem in depth. , I just don’t understand the style, so I might as well dive into other issues.

　　 Zhang Xu is now beginning to guide Furong's thinking from the road of traditional European wizards to the road of Chinese wizards. During the summer and now Christmas holidays, Zhang Xu took Furong out of the wizarding world and into the Muggle world, in order to broaden her horizons. If Furong followed him to live in China in the future, then her thinking would not be able to follow the path of a traditional European wizard, focusing her eyes on that little place in the magical world. Otherwise, the discord between the three views is the biggest killer to destroy the harmony between husband and wife.

　　 Furong saw that Zhang Xu did not directly answer the question she raised, but she felt that Zhang Xu opened up a line of thought to her that she had never thought of.

　　 Furong thought for a while, and felt that this question could not be answered in a short time, so she asked another question: "Then what is the ultimate goal of the cooperation between China's magical world and ordinary society?"

　　 Zhang Xu looked at the bright starry sky with the aurora dancing outside the window, and said: "Our journey is the sea of ​​stars."
