Hogwarts: Wizards of Eternity

Roger stared intently into Hermione's eyes, his expression serious.

“Is there a possibility that I don't need to play the ‘hunger marketing’ game you mentioned, or tighten the valve of technological iteration? As long as I'm willing, can't I still mobilize the power of the entire world?”

Regarding this, Roger didn't think there was a problem with Hermione's thinking.

It's just that Hermione simply doesn't know enough; there's a lack of information.

She doesn't know what Roger, as the creator of ‘Three-Dimensional Magic’ and ‘Virtual Reality,’ could do if he really wanted to play dirty!

Extract power?

One ten-thousandth? One-tenth?

If Roger were a demonic giant with ‘unlimited love,’ he could even turn Three-Dimensional Magic into an ‘evil art’ that indirectly controls and influences all cultivators, turning others into his avatars or incarnations!

It's just that this is contrary to Roger's pursuit of eternal life, so he never had this intention.

Ignorance is bliss. When there are differences in information, after a series of logical deductions, some absurd answers will naturally be obtained.

“The reason for this, I'm not comfortable saying,” Roger said, although he was candid, he wasn't without secrets.

It's best not to spread information like this that could cause disaster.

If these words came out of his own mouth, not to mention the possible impact on the popularization of Three-Dimensional Magic, if someone really wanted to play something similar, that would truly be a sin.

“Reconsider this with the premise that I don't need to achieve fame and success, or reach the peak of power, to be able to mobilize the power of the entire world when necessary.”

“Is it necessary for me to do that?”

Magic is not Muggle science; it's not a discipline with extremely strict logic where a single numerical error can cause the entire ‘building’ to collapse.

On the contrary, it's very subjective. You can master a technology without fully understanding all its details.

Just like wizards didn't fully understand time before developing time magic; they had time magic when their understanding of time was still relatively vague.

Later, they reverse-engineered the rules of time through the study of time magic.

Taking one step at a time, first setting a lower goal, achieving it, and then setting another goal, moving forward step by step.

This is a very correct thing to do in Muggle scientific research.

But magic is different.

With magic, you can research interstellar technology in the primitive era, and it can actually succeed... even if you may not fully understand what you've researched.

Just like the Floo Network space transmission channel that spans the globe.

Muggles are still playing with physical propulsion, while wizards are already playing with space-time jumps, but if you ask a wizard to explain the cosmic theorems behind it, to translate the technology into Muggle technology, it's completely impossible!

After gaining a deeper understanding of magic, Roger believed that setting a high goal directly would lead to faster progress than taking a gradual approach.

And it would be much faster!

If he followed Hermione's approach to research, he might not be able to complete the “ultimate version” of the wand, which requires no further improvement, even by the fifth year!

Wasting so much time, besides gaining the inexplicable amazement and worship of outsiders, the return is pitifully low.

Roger didn't choose this path before, and he won't choose this path in the future.

The meaning of eternal life is never eternal life itself, but the scenery that the eternally living can experience. Roger knows this, and he has emotions and desires.

But why waste time experiencing those incredibly magnificent landscapes before eternal life? Can't he finish the important things first and enjoy them slowly after eternal life?

How can one indulge in pleasure before the career is accomplished?

In Roger's eyes, useless actions that don't help him on his path to eternal life are always something he tries to avoid.

He's not a precise machine that never gets tired, not omniscient and omnipotent, always making the right decisions.

Roger certainly has times when he wastes time and makes mistakes.

But as long as Roger realizes it's a wrong path, he will definitely not let himself go down it.

He once told Harry to ‘do what you think is right.’ He can't give guidance to others while doing terrible things himself, right?

Practice what you preach. If there's only preaching, then he, as a guide, would be too much of a failure!

“This—”

Under Roger's explanation, Hermione has roughly understood Roger's thoughts.

She was speechless.

When people think about problems, there are often two obstacles.

One is the deviation in information acquisition, and the other is the tendency to judge others by oneself.

Hermione thinks about the world in Roger's eyes from her perspective, and naturally, she will get a wrong result.

“Alright, don't think so much.”

“Speaking of which, how are you considering the matter of your second magic?” Roger had no interest in verbally refuting a 12-year-old girl.

It would take a very boring person to do something like that.

Seeing that Hermione had understood his meaning, Roger brought up another topic.

Previously, Roger advised Hermione not to anchor the ‘Mind Link Omniscience’ she developed as her second magic.

In Roger's view, the essence of Mind Link Omniscience is a more controllable but still incomprehensible magic.

Suppose magic is a spaceship, wizards are primitive people, and other wizards can only use the spaceship as a cave to live in.

If Hermione's path goes to the extreme, she can perfectly control all the functions of this spaceship.

Cannons, space jumps, flight...

But she still can't understand how this spaceship was made, what its operating principle is.

In the early stages, Hermione's second magic might exert a strong power.

But its interference with the outside world relies too much on magic. After all, the potential is a bit lacking, and it can't go too high.

Unless Hermione completely abandons magic and takes another path of ‘connecting all things.’

But that's too difficult, like using addition to calculate how many grains of rice the world can cultivate and produce in a year.

It's better to change to a better second magic.

“I've already thought about the problem of the second magic.” In fact, Hermione had already had the answer a few days ago, but Roger seemed very busy with research, so Hermione didn't say it.

She originally planned to wait until school started to talk about this matter.

But since Roger asked about it now, she directly stated her thoughts: “I don't intend to completely follow your path.”

“Of course, I also know that my current path has problems.”

“Do you want to try Headmaster Dumbledore's mental strength?” Roger asked rhetorically.

Hermione shook her head: “To be precise, I want to try every path until I find the one that suits me best.”

After communicating with Roger, Hermione clearly realized one thing.

Instead of choosing the strongest, it's better to choose the most suitable.
