Hogwarts: Wizards of Eternity
#100 - Mass-produced 'Dumbledore'?
As one of the pure-blood Twenty-Eight Sacred Families, the Malfoy family has always held a strong position in the wizarding world. Not only was there a Minister for Magic who became a political puppet of the Malfoy family.
Even Hogwarts, the cradle of all British wizards, has the Malfoy family involved, being one of the 12 governors.
This meeting between the board of governors and Roger was initiated by Lucius Malfoy on the other side.
There was no way around it. He had personally handed over the crucial Horcrux to Voldemort, and that was a huge vulnerability.
Once exposed, the Malfoy family would suffer a severe blow in the current social environment, leaving him with no way to resist Dumbledore's requests.
Forced? Doing it unwillingly out of fear? Not knowing it was a Horcrux? People have to believe that.
As a former Death Eater, Lucius Malfoy's record is too tainted. He was lucky to escape once, and he might not be so lucky again.
He didn't want to go to a hellhole like Azkaban.
Originally, Lucius only intended to handle this meeting in a perfunctory manner.
But after truly understanding what Roger intended to do, he changed his mind.
In the Hogwarts conference room, Roger sat opposite the 12 governors who controlled Hogwarts, having just finished describing the prospects of the virtual reality industry.
After a moment of silence.
"Virtual reality technology - Seer, you have truly developed something terrifying." At the head of the long table in the conference room, the governor sitting directly opposite Roger sighed after listening to Roger's introduction of the virtual reality device and what he intended to do.
"I smell the scent of war. Since you are a Seer, you should understand the potential impact of virtual reality and accelerated thinking on wizards, right?" Another governor chimed in.
Lucius Malfoy even stood up directly, staring intently into Roger's eyes: "I don't know what the attitude of others is, but I personally am willing to fully support what you are doing."
"If you don't mind, I am even willing to invest in you in the name of the Malfoy family, without requiring any return from you, as long as you are willing to continue to delve into this technology and make it available to everyone as it is now!"
Roger always believed that sincerity is the key to interpersonal communication.
Therefore, he explained to them in detail what virtual reality technology can do now, the future development direction, and his true intention in developing and promoting this technology.
This even included his plan to use the power of virtual reality to study the secrets of eternal youth.
But Roger discovered that the governors' focus seemed to be different from what he had expected.
"Malfoy's boy, don't try to monopolize the benefits. Seer, if you need anything, you can come to me at any time. I don't need any return either," said an old governor with a long beard who seemed to be at odds with Lucius.
Hogwarts is the only magic school in Britain. Almost all British wizards come from here. As the owners of this school, the 12 governors are either related to the four founders by blood and have extraordinary bloodlines,
or their strength and social prestige are extraordinary. Only then can they secure this position.
With this status, they know too many secrets of the wizarding world that ordinary people do not know. Naturally, they are more aware than anyone else of the fact that the three major schools of wizards have fallen before the Wailing Wall for thousands of years, and have never broken through the upper limit of wizarding power.
They know even more than Roger about what wizards have tried to do in history.
Under the long-term despair, many people have even given up on continuing to explore, but today, they suddenly discovered.
Hope has been born!
In Roger's view, the most important function of virtual reality, which increases realism and nests accelerated thinking, is to explore the mysteries of cognitive aging.
But in the eyes of the governors, magic is a miracle of the mind. Virtual reality can allow people to experience all kinds of incredible things, allowing the mind to gain tremendous growth.
If a wizarding infant lives in virtual reality from a young age, making him believe that virtuality is reality, and prepares for him a life that is more exciting and magnificent than a collection of fairy tales, with a time span extended to 10,000 years.
Then, when he returns to reality, how terrifying will his mental power be?!
Even if the limit is still difficult to break through, this also means that, from this moment on, the wizarding civilization has the possibility of mass-producing 'Dumbledores' and 'Voldemorts'!
If every wizard could become Dumbledore, then the balance of power between Muggle civilization and wizarding civilization would shift in an instant.
"Actually, I also—" Lucius and another long-bearded governor started, and the other governors immediately followed suit, all expressing their willingness to be generous to Roger.
Those who can sit in this position, except for two or three rare cases who squeezed in based on professional ability and prestige, are all representatives of pure-blood families. They also face the same problem as Lucius.
In the current situation of the earth's population explosion, Muggle-born wizards are powerful, and the trend of pure-bloods gradually being submerged in the torrent of the times is something that all discerning people can see.
They are not as radical as Lucius Malfoy, trying to gamble on hope in the manner of Death Eaters, but it does not mean that they do not have the intention to resist.
If virtual reality technology develops to a certain extent, they believe that perhaps they can cultivate a large number of strong people who are absolutely loyal to the interests of wizards, which is enough to change too many things.
"So, you are willing to agree to the on-campus recruitment?" Roger asked with a smile.
Looking at the governors, who did not know about the existence of the Three-Dimensional Theory and did not know what the future might hold, treasuring virtual reality as if they had found a treasure, Roger realized that his matter might be settled just like that?
"Of course! We will do our best to support you!" With endless fantasies about the beautiful future of wizards, the board of governors unanimously agreed to cooperate with Subspace Magic Technology Company.
"But there are still some details to be discussed."
The details mentioned by the governors were not to make things difficult on trivial matters, but to continue the previous topic and increase investment in Roger.
A new era of tides is about to surge, and those who are quick will get it, and those who are slow will miss it. Everyone is scrambling to bet.
Although the actions are the same, their intentions are different.
Some are for the overall benefit of the wizarding civilization, some simply want to befriend Roger, and others, like Lucius, want to gain some intangible benefits while giving their family's reputation a 'whitewash'.
Roger could also see their intentions. He pondered for a moment and began to consider whether to let these people join in.
