"Aren't you coming back today either?"

"Yeah, I'm still staying here with Mr. Ollivander today," Hermione said into the phone in a light tone.

Outside Diagon Alley, Hermione was on the phone with her parents as usual today.

The existence of Dimension Magic · Myriad Aspects of the Heart has a great influence on Hermione. In order to seek "answers," she has watched and felt the hearts of too many people.

Now she has shed some of her childishness and understands what she really wants.

At the same time, she also understands how precious and rare this experience is for her.

Witnessing history slowly opening a new chapter before her eyes, she doesn't want to miss this opportunity.

"—Okay." Hermione's father was initially a little worried about his daughter staying out.

But when he came to Ollivander's wand shop in person and witnessed everything, he understood his daughter's choice.

He agreed to Hermione's request, but he required his daughter to call him every day to report that she was safe.

It's not that he had any opinions on Roger and Ollivander.

He and his wife are both Muggles, but their daughter is a witch. She is not by their side for nearly 9 months of the year, and they cannot pretend that nothing is wrong.

Although they don't understand magic, they can still understand their daughter's History of Magic textbook and those wizarding newspapers.

Hermione's parents have tried to understand the wizarding world. They know that magical research is a very dangerous thing.

Although Roger is mainly doing the magic research, and they respect their daughter's choice, they still feel at ease only after hearing her voice reporting that she is safe every day.

"Tomorrow is the start of school, do you want me to pick you up?

D

Of course, there is also a very important reason, that is, when Hermione contacted them, it was only a few days before the start of school.

When Hermione goes to school, she will naturally be away from the front line.

"No need, Roger said he will take me," Hermione replied.

After that, Hermione chatted with her father about some family matters, then hung up the phone and left the phone booth on the street.

After nearly a year of getting along, Hermione and Roger can be considered relatively familiar.

But the familiarity between the two is only in terms of personality.

Hermione has always had a superficial understanding of Roger's magic research.

She doesn't have the ability to come into contact with the more profound content of Three-Dimensional Magic. Roger only taught her some introductory things.

This is the first time Hermione has watched Roger conduct magical research and development up close.

After a few days of observation, Hermione discovered a problem.

"Tomorrow is the start of school, and your new wand seems to be far from finished.

Back to Diagon Alley, Ollivander's wand shop.

The light of the setting sun shines into this room, which is densely packed with wand boxes, stacked to the point of being somewhat crowded.

And now, in this place where the available space is already narrow, a large number of wands are suspended in mid-air. Those are all Roger and Ollivander's test products.

Failed test products.

"Isn't this normal?" Roger didn't turn his head, his eyes scanning the hundreds of wands in mid-air.

"Every step forward, even a small one, is not an easy thing."

"What's more, it's a wand that integrates a second magic power, creating something from nothing."

Roger raised his hand and took down a wand from mid-air. A burst of magical brilliance flashed, and it was unknown what Roger did. Only the wand was fading and disappearing, as if the "layer" had been erased.

After that, a dreamlike scene of the sea rising with the bright moon erupted from the core of the wand.

His fingertips passed through the three-dimensional illusion, and Roger continued: "According to the worst-case scenario, I may even have to spend a whole year, until the next summer vacation, to complete it."

"Of course, if everything goes unbelievably smoothly, it may only take one or two months."

Hermione, who was already suspicious of Roger's behavior, became even more confused after hearing Roger's words.

Fortunately, when facing Roger, Hermione doesn't need to have any scruples. She can speak her mind directly, and any questions can be freely expressed.

"Roger—why did you set the goal so high from the beginning?" Hermione is also a practitioner of Three-Dimensional Magic.

And she has cultivated it to the point where she has developed her own second magic power.

She fully understands how difficult it is for Roger to do what he wants to do.

To use something she is familiar with as an example, it is like completing nearly 10 years of courses from junior high school, high school, and university in elementary school, and with excellent grades.

"Have you ever thought that you might not need to do it all in one step, but rather step by step?"

Hermione can't completely understand Roger's magic experiments, but she can roughly understand some of the trends. She can sense that Roger's experimental progress is constantly advancing.

And...

If he just wanted to strengthen the wand to the point where it "can be used now," Roger could have done it long ago!

Using the power of the second magic power to bless the wand, this technical hurdle has already been broken through by Roger.

And what Roger is doing now is to solve all future wand problems once and for all.

What he wants to do is not simply bless it, but to connect virtual reality with magic power, and let it completely integrate with the wand while having unlimited growth potential.

This goal is set too high and too far, so even if Roger is moving forward every moment, he is still quite far away from the "end point" today.

"Why would I do that?" Through the scene of the bright moon, Roger looked at Hermione with a puzzled expression.

"You can completely research the wand in your mind in stages, constantly iterating versions."

Hermione's idea is very simple, Roger might as well lower the goal a little bit first.

Make a finished product, and then set a higher goal while having a finished product in hand, and gradually cycle step by step.

Roger also told her that he had the idea of making Three-Dimensional Magic public.

At that time, the wand problem will definitely become a "must-have" for all wizards in the world!

At that time, Roger can be like electronic products, even if there is a major technological breakthrough, he will not immediately put everything on the market.

She believes that Roger can release his achievements in batches.

Then he can gain huge reputation and huge profits, gaining both fame and fortune.

"You will become the vane of the entire wizarding world, your every move will be sought after by countless people. With this kind of influence and appeal, you can do a lot of things."

"Well—" Roger pondered for a moment, then his expression became even more inexplicable.

"What is the meaning of these things to me?"

Seeing Hermione stunned for a moment, as if she didn't quite understand, Roger explained again: "My goal is eternal life, and because there are too many unknown factors from the outside world, if there are no special reasons, I want to achieve eternal life as soon as possible."

"Those things you mentioned, whether it's showing off in front of others or becoming a leader of civilization, don't help my path to eternal life."

Roger doesn't reject stepping onto the stage, nor does he reject guiding the direction of the world.

But there is a cause-and-effect relationship here.

It's because doing so is helpful to eternal life, so he does it, rather than because he thinks it's fun to see Vogel's legs go weak. Just like when Roger showed his strength in front of the German Minister of Magic, it was to prevent his Time Phantom Shuttle Curse from being affected and to prepare for his path to immortality.

Roger won't do things that put the cart before the horse.

"If I follow your rhythm, there is no doubt that my path to eternal life will most likely take longer to achieve. I have no reason to do that."

Hermione frowned: "How could that be? After you become the center of the world, you will have the power to mobilize the entire world. Shouldn't the road to eternal life become smoother then?"

Hermione followed Roger's words. She knew Roger's pursuit of eternal life, but she had a different view on this matter.

Roger sighed softly. It seemed she still didn't understand.

Hermione has good potential, and he hopes that Hermione can go further on the path of magic in the future, so he is willing to spend more time and talk to Hermione about the mysteries involved.

"Have you ever thought about this possibility—"
