Hogwarts: Wizards of Eternity
#124 - The next stop for the two countries' cooperation is outer space
The actions of the strong influence the fates of countless people.
Just as an ancient emperor could decide the life and death of many with a single thought, a decree from the United States Congress could determine the rise and fall of another country.
Charlotte didn't know what Roger and Minister Vogel had discussed in private.
She only knew that Roger had easily resolved the issue with the German Ministry of Magic, which had originally intended to make a big show of targeting him. Furthermore, after submitting her post-mission report, she was notified on the third day that she would be joining the foreign visit team and going to England with the Minister of Magic.
This seemed like a prelude to a promotion.
In reality, the power Roger displayed to Vogel within the German Ministry of Magic was only the tip of the iceberg. Roger didn't feel the need to keep it a secret, nor did he explicitly ask Vogel to do so.
However, Vogel felt that this information shouldn't be casually revealed, so he concealed it, using a fabricated reason to explain it to the Ministry's department heads.
He had his own plans regarding Roger's matter.
And this plan presented itself as an opportunity after Charlotte submitted her report.
Creating a new magical creature from scratch with a spell—only a truly knowledgeable wizard could understand the significance of that.
At his age, with that level of power, anyone with discernment could see that Dumbledore was the greatest wizard of the 20th century in Britain, and this Seer's name would resonate throughout the 21st century!
With this report, Vogel could still have an excuse to visit England and conduct activities, without revealing that he knew Roger had the potential to cross the line that no wizard had ever crossed before.
British Ministry of Magic, Minister's office.
At this moment, only Vogel, Fudge, and Dumbledore were in the room.
Without superfluous presences, they didn't need to beat around the bush and could speak frankly.
Here, Vogel revealed his true intentions for this trip to the two of them.
In simple terms, it was a statement:
'I know the new era has begun brewing; wait for me, I haven't gotten on the train yet!'
"That Seer is likely the wizard who has the greatest chance of crossing the 'human-god divide' in the last millennium. Even if he only crosses it halfway, his existence will have an incredibly profound impact on all wizards and Muggles in the world."
"The Anglo-Saxons and Germanic peoples are originally one family. In terms of wizarding bloodlines, we have a long and deep-rooted relationship. I believe we can achieve even deeper cooperation."
Dumbledore could understand Vogel's words, but Fudge, on the side, only felt confused.
The human-god divide? Is it the human-god divide I know?
When did that little Seer gain this ability? Is it virtual reality?
Lacking key information, Fudge felt like an outsider in the conversation.
However, the smile on Fudge's face didn't change in the slightest, revealing no hint of the storm within his heart.
—. Although he didn't understand some things, in Fudge's eyes, from the very beginning, the images of Dumbledore and Roger had always been shrouded in conspiracy theories.
Therefore, he quickly accepted the reality and believed that the "truth of the world" was finally about to unfold before him!
"...—You are uneasy in your heart." After Dumbledore was silent for two seconds regarding Vogel's impassioned words, he asked pointedly in a certain tone.
And Vogel appeared very calm in response to Dumbledore's barbed words: "Yes."
"Our German Ministry of Magic made the wrong choice in the last wave of the era, which led to many bad consequences."
On the surface, after the Grindelwald incident ended, the Muggle-sympathetic wizards, who were still weak at the time, didn't eliminate the pure-blood elite wizard forces within the Ministry of Magic who had sided with Grindelwald.
Even someone like me, who has a blood connection with Anton Vogel, the Minister of Magic at the time, was able to sit in the position of Minister of Magic.
My side seems unscathed.
But in reality, it can't be calculated that way. In Germany, the conflict between the Muggle faction and the pure-blood faction, although not as exaggerated as during Voldemort's time in Britain, was also half-exposed. In the East German Ministry of Magic, many were originally from the Muggle faction who started anew. Now that the two Germanys have merged,
they are elbowing our pure-blood interest group very seriously, which is a very bad trend.
"Once is enough for this kind of thing. We no longer want to stand on the opposite side of the era, nor do we want to be abandoned by the era."
One crucial mistake in choosing sides turned Germany from their sole voice to a situation where two forces were evenly matched.
What if it happened again? Wouldn't they become a disadvantaged group?
Vogel didn't want that, so this time, he concealed it from the high-level Muggle-sympathetic wizards in the East German faction within the Ministry of Magic, using the excuse of visiting England to bet on Roger in the name of his interest group.
A heavy bet!
And Dumbledore's response to this was: "We always welcome sincere cooperation between countries."
"As for those with ulterior motives—
Dumbledore didn't have much affection for Vogel. This wasn't because he was a descendant of that general under Grindelwald; he wouldn't carry prejudice to the next generation.
The reason he didn't like Vogel was simply because Vogel's actions might bring some influences to Roger that he didn't want to see. In Dumbledore's view, Roger should study magic quietly at Hogwarts, rather than touching dirty politics.
Different life trajectories bring different life insights.
Dumbledore's life trajectory was to rise and fall in magic, and in the end, magic brought him everything he needed.
Politics? Power?
They are merely things that will spontaneously gravitate towards you when you become strong.
Dumbledore didn't want Roger to put the cart before the horse.
In the past, Dumbledore had tried to disrupt Roger's mind by bestowing power, so that Roger wouldn't embark on the path of pursuing eternal life.
But when Roger truly showed the potential to change everything, he became reluctant again.
—..- For the same reason, Dumbledore actually has many opinions about those people on the Board of Governors now, but he's just reluctant to say it plainly due to his status.
When your status is too high, you always have some concerns when doing things. Some actions that seem insignificant to you have a considerable possibility of being misinterpreted by the outside world as some kind of "signal."
The British wizarding world had finally achieved peace after experiencing Voldemort's events. He still remembered the pain of that war, and Dumbledore didn't want to end the peaceful situation in his hands.
"I have no ulterior motives." Vogel interrupted before Dumbledore could finish speaking.
"I don't ask for Roger Virgil to bring me any help, nor do I ask for anything else." He sensed Dumbledore's thoughts, so he began to defend himself.
"I just want to express with 'sincerity' that we are willing to stand with him. As long as he needs it,
we can lend a helping hand at any time, that's all."
In more abstract terms, he was here to pay a "friendship fee."
This selfless gesture seems like a pure loss, but sometimes, just getting acquainted is enough to be useful.
It's like having the phone number of the top leader of the Blue Star's five major philanthropists, being able to call them during the New Year to chat for a minute or two and say hello without being rejected.
Even if you can't ask them to help you with even the smallest thing, the ability to talk to them at the same time has great significance in itself.
The same is true for Vogel. His heavy bet isn't placed on the present, but on the future, the future Seer who has the potential to surpass wizards!
"Mr. Roger, your letter."
The 15th day of Roger and Harry's tour of Greece.
These past few days, Roger had been watching the past of ancient wizards.
Unlike a fleeting glance at witnessing historical scenes, the content related to ancient wizards required delving into details, so it was slower.
—- In addition, there were indeed many wizards in Greece since ancient times. In addition to the former residences provided by the Greek Ministry of Magic, Roger also captured some figures of ancient wizards from the river of history himself.
Just as Roger was lingering in the illusion of time, the arrival of a letter interrupted his rhythm.
"Headmaster Dumbledore? What's he sending a letter for?" Roger opened the letter sent through the Floo Network mailing channel with a slightly strange expression.
After scanning the letter twice, Roger frowned slightly.
The letter described the visit of the German Ministry of Magic.
On the fourth day after Roger left Germany, the German Ministry of Magic wrote to Britain, saying they wanted a diplomatic visit. The two sides prepared for about a week, made arrangements, and Vogel landed in Britain.
Afterwards, the two sides started discussing international cooperation. Other matters were discussed almost completely within a few days,
but the two sides had been arguing about Roger's matter.
In the end, the two sides unanimously decided to let the person involved make the decision himself, and they wouldn't overstep their boundaries.
"Is something wrong at Hogwarts?" Harry, who was next to Roger, saw the wax seal with the Hogwarts emblem on the letter.
"It's nothing." Roger closed the letter.
"Just some boring mundane matters."
Roger didn't care about what Germany wanted to do. In his eyes, Dumbledore was just complicating the issue a bit.
If people are eagerly approaching and offering benefits, then just accept them.
As for the future, Roger agrees with Dumbledore on this point.
When a person becomes strong, the world will become more and more "gentle" to them. As long as their strength continues to grow, all problems are minor problems.
After casually putting the letter aside, Roger continued to talk to Harry about the upcoming itinerary.
"We've seen almost everything we need to see in Greece. Mr. Nikolaos has been busy running around lately, and he's been quite tired."
“In a couple of days, I'll help him organize the ancient magic knowledge he's recorded, and then we'll move on to the next stop.”
“What are you going to do next? Stay with me, or go back to England?”
Roger asked this because of Harry's magical path. The Magic of Love weakens with separation from loved ones.
While it's not a precipitous decline, if you spend too little time together during the year, the impact is considerable.
Harry is now trying to walk the path of ancient magic, so he can't let this magic weaken too much.
Harry said without hesitation, “I'll stay with you. Your last stop abroad won't take too long, will it?”
According to Roger's summer travel plan, the first stop is Germany, the second is Greece, and the third is… space!
After trying spellcasting in space, Roger will arrive at the fourth stop of his journey, England.
England is also an ancient country. How could Roger's Time Mirage Transversion forget about it?
Roger just wanted to take a look around outside before finally coming to see England.
The comparison between the two is what makes it interesting.
“Okay, then in a few days, we'll look down on Earth together from outer space,” Roger said with a smile.
While speaking, Roger was also thinking about how to get to space.
Should he use magic directly, or use technology?
Roger certainly knew that using magic would be more convenient, but Roger had also said before that he had fantasized about becoming an astronaut and landing on the moon when he was a child in his previous life.
Now that he has the opportunity, he really can't help but want to experience riding a rocket himself!
