The man behind Hogwarts

Fudge looked at his silent subordinates in silence, and silence became the main theme for a while.

As he watched, his anger burned again.

Could it be that the Ministry of Magic just allowed two enemies to invade the Ministry of Magic and then escape easily? Once this result is announced, it is hard to imagine how the magic world will discuss it.

He will never tolerate such bad things happening during his tenure.

Turning to look at the Director of the Department of Mysteries, he was the old man with a wrinkled face.

Despite his senile appearance, he is actually a treasure of the entire Ministry of Magic, and many confidential matters are carried out by him.

Fudge said solemnly:

"No matter what, find them out for me!"

"The Department of Mysteries is putting all other work aside during this period. This is your only top priority at the moment."

"Divination, prophecy, magical creatures, spells...all methods can be used."

As soon as these words came out, all the officials raised their heads in surprise.

Even though most of them are senior officials of the Ministry of Magic, they don't know much about the Department of Mysteries.

All I know is that the general research involves various indescribable issues, such as soul, space, time, mind, etc... and many research projects have been banned because the risks are too high.

According to Fudge, even taboo methods can be used?

The elderly director also frowned and asked again:

"All means?"

"Yes, all of them!" He nodded heavily.

Seeing that the director was still asking questions, Umbridge interrupted him at the right moment. Fudge was already furious. Why bother asking for small questions again and again? This old director is really confused.

I complained in my heart and smiled on my lips:

"Since the minister agrees to your use, just use it. As long as you can catch two intruders, any method must be worthwhile."

Seeing that the deputy minister and deputy minister expressed their opinions at the same time, others immediately followed suit.

The old director nodded. I was thinking that maybe the research on time travel can be restarted...

Time travel.

Fortunately, Fudge didn't hear his voice, otherwise he would have warned him sternly that all methods can be used, except time travel.

After arranging the Department of Mysteries, Fudge looked at the head of the Auror Office and also ordered them to focus on this matter.

Several people discussed some more questions about the caliber of external responses and finally dispersed.

There are only two people left in the office.

Fudge asked Umbridge to sit on the sofa and said in a deep voice:

"This matter cannot be hidden. Is there any way to reduce the impact?"

"Reduce the impact? Let me think about it..."

Umbridge thought for a moment and suddenly came up with an idea:

"There were many people who witnessed this incident. It is estimated that various newspapers and periodicals have started to print and distribute newspapers at this time. It will undoubtedly be difficult to curse them. But we can think of another way, which is to change the topic."

Change the subject?

Upon hearing this unique suggestion, Fudge seemed to notice something and quickly rummaged through the documents in the cabinet next to him.

Not long after, he took out a torn envelope, took out the letter paper, scanned it briefly, and immediately laughed heartily:

"Yes, that's a good idea!"

"Oh, you already have an idea?"

After complimenting him, Umbridge took the letter from him and motioned for her to read it herself.

In fact, she had already guessed the content of the letter when Fudge took out the envelope, but she still pretended to be cooperative and curious.

After reading the contents of the letter, I secretly said, "Sure enough, that's true."

There is a very unique emblem mark on the cover of this letter. Umbridge is familiar with this mark. After all, she was once proud of it.

A shield coat of arms is used as the base, and four animal figures surround an "H" letter.

"Hogwarts School wants to reconvene the School Competition, and wants to add another participant?"

"Minister, you mean to use this to divert people's attention?"

"Yes."

Fudge smiled proudly: "You contact Dumbledore for me right away and tell him that the Ministry of Magic is willing to support him in holding the so-called Four Wizards Tournament. I want to make it the biggest news."

"At the same time, let the Sports Department release the news that the Ministry of Magic intends to jointly organize the Four-wizard Tournament and the Quidditch match."

The biggest event in the wizarding world is the Quidditch match.

If it is true as Fudge said, then all wizards will definitely pay attention to this Four Wizard Tournament.

"What a great idea."

Umbridge wholeheartedly agreed:

"This will not only reduce the magic world's attention on us, but also use this competition to expand the influence of the British Ministry of Magic around the world. It's amazing, it's amazing!"

Hearing her compliments, Fudge waved his hands politely, but he couldn't suppress the smile on his face.

……

It wasn't long before.

A piece of news spread throughout the Ministry of Magic: Two unidentified wizards broke into the Ministry of Magic. It was rumored that they did so specifically for provocation and finally left safely.

As soon as this news came out, everyone was in an uproar.

If you want to find the safest place in the UK, most people will only name two names: Hogwarts and the Ministry of Magic.

The heavily guarded Ministry of Magic was invaded?

Are the invaders too powerful, or is the Ministry of Magic too lax?

"Daily Prophet", "Wizard Weekly", "The Quibbler"...

All wizarding newspapers and magazines talked a lot about this matter, some focused on the identity of the intruder, some focused on criticizing the Ministry of Magic, but everyone was paying attention to this matter anyway.

But in two days...

Things about the Four Wizard Tournament swept across the country, and with the help of the Ministry of Magic, they quickly overshadowed the invasion.

This news suddenly awakened the wizards' memories of the previous Triwizard Tournament, which was a very sensational event at that time.

"It's going to be held together with Quidditch?"

"Great, Hogwarts is the initiator of the competition, doesn't it mean that our British wizarding community is the top one!"

"I hope I can go and watch it live then..."

In the Ministry of Magic in London, Fudge and Umbridge looked at the thick stack of newspapers on the table. They looked at each other and smiled, extremely satisfied with the result.

……

When the magical world was in turmoil because of the invasion and the Four Powers Tournament, the world of ordinary people was also very lively.

Margaret hosted the product launch conference on behalf of Baofeng Technology.

Give enough time in the first two days for people to visit the press conference square.

This place, named "Storm Square" by the San Francisco government, has gathered countless wealthy businessmen from all over the country, even high-ranking political officials, cutting-edge technology diggers...

When the press conference officially began and Margaret showed off her smartphone on the stage, the entire square was silent for two minutes.

Everyone stared blankly at the small machine that looked like something from a science fiction novel.

It's as big as a palm, and can actually perform countless unimaginable operations...

William and Malzahar watched the conference with a crystal ball in the room.

It has been two days since they returned from the Ministry of Magic. During this period, they have been living in isolation and always paying attention to the trends of the Ministry of Magic.

After seeing that the Ministry of Magic defined them as "unidentified intruders", the two of them put down their last remaining concerns.

No, as soon as I felt relieved, I went to watch the product launch conference.

"How is it? How much has the causal power increased?"

Malzahar rotated the crystal ball to watch, and asked softly:

"I think there should be at least a few dozen points. This is one of the most important technological inventions in the future world, and it has influenced countless people around the world. I don't agree with it being less."

"It hasn't changed yet."

William was always paying attention to the system, but he never heard any prompts.

Just as he was about to enter the white cloud space, a familiar rising sound suddenly sounded in his ears.

"Congratulations on obtaining 7 rays of causal power."

"Seven wisps?"

William exclaimed, Malzahar followed suit, and both of them had expressions of disbelief in their eyes.

"How could there be only this little? I thought that no matter how bad it is, there should be more than ten or twenty points. At least it can support us in cultivating the remaining two incarnations... only 7 strands?"

The two looked at the crystal ball suspiciously, but did not find any mistakes.

Malzahar frowned and said, "It seems like that's really all it is."

"It turns out that in this world, ordinary people have so little causal power. It can be said to be very little."

"Hermione's joining the Gem Club will give you something. Now there are only 7 smart machines that can affect the world."

He shook his head helplessly: "Ordinary people are too worthless."

【Explorer】

Triple Crown (three consecutive wins in the final exam) - Target reward: Blue Secret Map (unfinished).

[The power of cause and effect: 11 rays]

“It seems that the destiny of this timing is all concentrated in the wizarding world, or in the story of Harry Potter.

No matter how much noise we make in the world of ordinary people, we cannot collect much causal power.

Perhaps these 7 strands are the limit that can be harvested from ordinary people. "

"Then there's nothing we can do. We have to look at the results of the semi-finals."

William thought for a while and smiled easily:

"Anyway, at least now I can cultivate an avatar again, which is good news."

The mind enters the white cloud space.

Go through the first three-way intersection.

Come to the [Explorer] dashboard.

Previously, the system reminded that the causal power of each world has a specific amount. It is not ordinary people's banknotes. As long as there are raw materials, you can print as much as you want.

At that time, he didn't quite understand how much causal power a world had.

Now he had some guesses.

Even if extraordinary abilities like magic exist in the world we live in, ordinary people cannot produce dozens of strands of causal power.

If it were on Earth, it might be very difficult to cultivate an incarnation.

If you really have the magical power of "one Qi transforming three pure things" on the earth, but cannot cultivate the incarnation because you don't have enough causal power, that would be the most depressing thing in the world.

"No, no, no..."

He smiled:

"There are so many immortals and powerful beings on earth who have traveled through the heavens. How can they be so weak?"

……

Leaving America and returning to Hogwarts.

William immediately devoted himself to the study of Madago cats.

Regarding its own splitting ability, you also need to check the nature, strength, plasticity, potential value, etc. of the ability.

According to the predictions of William and Jarvis, even if multiple bloodline templates can be added when cultivating avatars, the number will not be too many. In order to ensure success, William does not intend to try its upper limit.

In his opinion, as long as he can join three or four kinds, it is a great blessing.

Jarvis transmitted one item of data to William:

Bloodline Template-Characteristics-Potential Value-Adaptation Success Rate

Madago Cat - Split - 90-60%

The "bloodline template" in the data refers to various magical creatures. All creatures that have the potential to be added to the incarnation are listed in the table.

The "Traits" column refers to the abilities you wish to inherit from the bloodline template.

The "potential value" column refers to the potential of the "characteristic", that is, the maximum room for growth.

The "Adaptation Success Rate" column, in short, is Jarvis's success rate in cultivating avatars using this bloodline template.

William looked down the data.

Bloodline Template-Characteristics-Potential Value-Adaptation Success Rate

Madago Cat - Split - 90-65%

Lucky Turtle - predicts good or bad luck - 87-79%

Phoenix-Rebirth-93-54%

Jarvis-Computational Simulation-94-64%

Fander-Ancient Bloodline-78-69%

Bird Snake-Size Ruyi-84-63%

……

After reading it from beginning to end, the previous bloodline templates all have their own advantages and disadvantages, and some features are even more eye-catching.

For example, the lucky turtle predicts good and bad luck.

If the incarnation can obtain this ability, wouldn't it be like a child of destiny, everything he thinks and does represents the instructions of destiny. You can always choose the best option among all options.

And Jarvis’s computational simulation abilities.

William asked him if he had raised his potential, but Jarvis said without humility that this was an objective fact.

There are hundreds of bloodline templates from beginning to end.

But only Jarvis has the highest characteristic potential value, with 94 points.

Judging from the potential value alone, it directly suppresses super terrifying abilities such as rebirth from the ashes, predicting good and bad luck, and splitting.

"Jarvis, why do you rate analog computing so highly?"

"The potential value evaluates the potential, not the real-time combat power of the characteristics, nor the uniqueness. In my opinion, whether it is rebirth from the ashes, or predicting good or bad luck...

Since there are magical creatures with this ability, it means that it can be researched.

Being researchable means being replicable.

To be copied is to be owned.

As long as the 'simulation calculation' is given enough time and enough data, it can replicate any ability, and even integrate and optimize it. If it is stronger, it is not impossible to create something out of nothing. "

Well……

After listening to his words, William was thoughtful.

The implication of Jarvis's words seemed quite familiar, "Give me a fulcrum and I can lift the earth?"

"I see what you mean."

Not knowing what he thought of, William chuckled:

"You think that as long as you are given enough development time, you can kill seven super gods, push crystals, and be omnipotent, right?"

"Uh...that's true."

After joking for a while, his eyes returned to the data sheet.

It is undeniable that he agreed with Jarvis's statement.

In other words, simulation calculations must be arranged for the second incarnation!
