A Clearly Divided World
Chapter 214 A Clearly Divided World
Wade thought, if he was only satisfied with being a protected person and leaving all the problems to others, then one day, he would find that there was no one else in front of him to stop the danger.
Adults nowadays always treat him as a child, but Wade cannot really think of himself as a carefree child.
such as……
If there really wasn't anything wrong, why would Dumbledore have asked the Greys to move?
And they also invited Moody, the retired old Auror.
For example, since Mrs. Johnson had been forgotten, why was she suddenly killed?
Did someone leak the news that Dumbledore was going to look for her, so those people rushed to take action to eliminate the threat?
If this conjecture is true, who is the informer? Do Dumbledore and his team suspect anyone?
Adults would not actively tell him these questions. Even if Wade asked, he would probably only get answers like "Nothing" or "Study hard, you don't need to know these."
The desire of adults to protect children seems like an obstacle to him.
Seeing Wade put away the friend book thoughtfully, Fred and George, who were fiddling with the two-way mirror, looked at each other and asked:
"What happened?"
"Your expression just now was a little scary."
"nothing."
Wade said, stuffing the Book of Friends back into his bag with some annoyance.
The twins suddenly made a strange face.
"Listen to what he said - it's nothing. Even though we are sitting in the same house, it's not your concern!"
George said in a weird voice with a pinched throat.
"Hey, I didn't say the latter part!" Wade protested.
"I know what you think," George said immediately.
Fred looked at his brother George and said with a wink, "I almost thought it was Mommy!"
George imitated his mother's words: "Fred, George, you are still young! Put it down! It's too dangerous for you! Sit still and don't move!"
Wade was speechless at first, then realized that what he did was no different from other adults.
He couldn't fully trust the abilities and character of the other young wizards, and thought it was not time for them to get involved, just as the adult wizards were unwilling to tell him some things.
Wade can take the young wizards to deal with the Horcruxes because the whole thing is under his control. It looks dangerous, but it is actually no different from an outing.
But this time, he had not learned about it from the plot, so he subconsciously took a more conservative approach and excluded others.
Wade was silent for a while, then he sighed and said, "Okay... In order to avoid me having to say it a second time, let's go to the Umbrella House to discuss this matter this afternoon."
"Well, we can bear with it until then."
The twins said contentedly.
They then proceeded to start repairing the two-way mirror.
In this room, there are also some messy alchemical products——
For example, there is an old spyglass that runs around like a spider and is extremely sensitive, or a teacup that suddenly makes a giggling sound and sprays out smelly water, and candies that will definitely make people vomit after eating them.
These are the Weasley twins' latest achievements.
They have always been interested in alchemy and started learning it even earlier than Vader.
However, because there was no teacher to teach them, the two of them studied according to their own preferences, which resulted in a strange imbalance in alchemy.
The twins don't know much about ancient magic runes and magic circles, but they can always come up with works that surprise Wade. However, their works are different from traditional alchemy works, and they are more or less mischievous. Since joining the Umbrella House, the Weasley twins have always studied alchemy with Wade.
Wade is an "academic" alchemist, with a very solid foundation of knowledge and rigorous and standardized practical operations. The twins are completely "untrained", some of them are very skilled, and some know nothing.
For a piece of work, Wade knew what the result would be before he started it; while the Weasley twins would often slap their foreheads when they were halfway through -
"Hey, I have an idea..."
"What a great idea! Why not give it a try?"
They don't know what their work will look like until it is completed.
The combination of the two produced some wonderful sparks, but also hindered each other a bit.
For example, this two-sided mirror should have been repaired last semester according to Wade's plan.
However, because the twins repeatedly proposed modifications and came up with new ideas several times when the work was halfway done, it still remains in the defective product stage.
But Wade had to admit that he was always moved by their ideas, which was why the restoration work was delayed for so long.
But sometimes, the twins' wild imaginations made Wade wonder who was the one who traveled from the future to the present.
"My idea is actually very simple. I want to change the two-way mirror from one-to-one to one-to-many, and from two-way communication to one-way information dissemination..."
Wade drew a rough outline of the magic rune on the paper and said:
"It's actually a Muggle TV. One of the mirrors acts as the TV station, and the others are receivers. As for light, sound, interaction, real projection and the like, they can be used as future development directions, but there is no need to be so complicated in the early stages."
George asked, "Can we change the channel?"
"It's not possible for the time being." Wade asked back: "There are countless Muggles filming new TV shows, what do we have?"
"What's the point of a TV that can't change channels?" said Fred. "Why don't we try to convert a Muggle TV into a magical version? Just like a magic radio."
"Because the structure of a television is much more sophisticated and complex than that of a radio, it is impossible to convert television signals into images through mechanical vibrations..."
Looking at the confused looks in their eyes, Wade sighed helplessly and said simply: "Magic will interfere with electromagnetic waves, so it won't work."
"...You know what, Wade?" After a long while, Fred said seriously: "My dad will definitely like you very much! I promise!"
"He's extremely interested in Muggle technology, but there's no one in our family who can discuss it with him."
"My dad had a box of power plugs and batteries and he even bought a Muggle car to work with," George explained.
It took Vader a lot of effort to resist asking - "What are you collecting these for?"
From the wizard's point of view, it is also ridiculous that some Muggles collect rags, stones and feathers that are "said to have magical powers".
The two worlds are so close, yet so clearly separate.
In Wade's opinion, it is understandable that Muggles do not understand wizards, as many magic spells ensure that they cannot approach and understand another world.
But it is incredible that most wizards live near Muggle villages, walk in Muggle cities, and can walk into any bookstore to buy all kinds of books at any time, but they still know so little about another group.
This situation will eventually be broken by the rapid technological development of the non-magical world, but most wizards are unaware of it, just like a fool who runs after the headlights but doesn't know he might be hit by a car.
