Chapter 8 Pursuing Progress
With the exposure of Shafiq's mother and son from time to time, the two gradually became famous in a special way.
More and more people are turning their attention to these two.
And began to treat Shafiq mother and child as victims from the bottom of their hearts.
As a result, more information about their mother and child was exposed to the public eye.
Nozawaen Castle was listed for sale because it was unable to maintain the normal operation of the magic magnetic shield.
The price has been lowered once, but no one cares about it.
It’s not that no one really cares about it. A French wizard expressed interest in it, and Catherine wanted to buy it not long after it was listed for the first time.
But the Ministry of Magic came up with a bunch of rules and told the French wizard that he was not eligible to buy it. The dissatisfaction caused by this also caused a storm of public opinion, which affected the normal business exchanges between the British and French wizarding circles to a certain extent.
Many people have already noticed that some people deliberately obstructed it, wanting to suppress the price and swallow Nozawaen Castle.
The image of Shafiq's mother and son in people's minds has become a victim +1.
Waiting for an exclusive interview report to report the mother and child's residence and recent life, and completed the image upgrade of the victim +2.
Catherine's situation looks bad, and her son Kane's situation is even worse. Although they have a house, living in that dilapidated house may not be as bad as a Muggle homeless sleeping in a bridge hole.
Some people suspect that in this state, the two may not survive this winter.
Some people also sharply pointed out that some people wanted them to die in order to justifiably devour the last part of the wealth of the Shafiq family.
"The Quibbler" turned Dumbledore's last appeal and reprimand again. Then he published an article with the subtitle "Surrendering and pleading guilty is equivalent to going to jail, wealth being swallowed up, family members being humiliated to the extreme, being plundered, and finally starved to death on the street." The righteous people use never light mercy and ten times repayment to forge vicious elements who can only fight to the end. ’ article.
This article caused the editor-in-chief Lovegood to be invited to drink tea by the Ministry of Magic again. In the end, he publicly apologized, saying that he ignored the facts and talked nonsense.
A public apology can be written ironically, and Lovegood is still very good at writing.
When the article spread abroad, George Harrison, who had participated in Shafiq's public trial, published a commentator's article. In the article, his words were sharper and bolder, but it was still a rehash.
He wrote in the article: I predict here that ten years later, the second half of the Wizarding War will begin. At that time, no one will believe in the surrender, and no one will think that begging for mercy is still useful. One side must shed blood completely.
Most people have always regarded such articles as tricks to attract people's attention by concocting sensational gimmicks. But it will work somewhat.
People are afraid of the unknown. Especially in the wizarding world after the war, the overall situation is not good.
On the one hand, the entire wizarding society is scarred from top to bottom.
On the other hand, it is the various pressures brought about by the rapid progress of the human world economy and science and technology.
There is no need for humans to deliberately do anything, the wizards are already shaking.
They are like old hats living in the deep mountains, standing on the top of the mountain watching all kinds of vehicles passing by on the highway below the mountain, watching the prosperity of the human world with envy and helplessness.
The material civilization created by human beings with technology is full of temptations.
And the wizard from the Muggle family brought the atmosphere of modern society into this niche autistic world.
Arthur Weasley, as the chief officer of the Department of Prohibition of Misuse of Muggle Products in the British Ministry of Magic, enjoys studying various Muggle creations in private.
This is a very representative microcosm of the times.
Curiosity is a human instinct, and wizards will not always look at technology with the mentality of looking at garbage just because a single Animagus transfiguration can lift the coffin lids of Einstein and other scientific giants.
At the beginning of the 20th century, many wizards have already begun to try to use scientific dialectical methods to analyze various phenomena on the mysterious side.
And this is just the beginning, the changes in the Muggle world have brought wizards a whole new way of thinking.
Those wizards who come from the Muggle world, those who study the Muggle world, they set the trend and bring about change.
The wizard war is the vested interests of the wizarding world. The trend of reform caused by the half-blood wizards and mudblood wizards has intensified, and their interests have been touched.
Voldemort waged a war of definite class order in the name of 'Pure Blood Supremacy'.
Conversely, it can also be seen that the vested interests pushed Voldemort to the position of war representative.
Because those with vested interests are basically concentrated in the group of pure blood wizards.
Things got a bit out of control in the latter part of the war, mainly because Voldemort, the banner figure, became emotional and paranoid, which was completely different from his wise performance when he was lobbying for sponsorship.
They didn't know that Voldemort's changes were caused by cutting souls and making Horcruxes again and again.
But they knew that without their financial support, Voldemort would be a dog in the dark.
For those dark creatures and dark wizards, the theory of pure blood is of little value. That army never fought for a common belief and goal, so it disintegrated very quickly.
The wizard war has been fought for eleven years, but the fundamental problem that triggered the war has not been properly resolved, but both sides are tired and temporarily rest.
It is inevitable to fight again, and this time I am afraid it will not be dressed in the traditional cloak of justice and evil. It is a battle of power, a battle of interests, a war between the conservative party and the reformers.
Kane, who was born with a perspective almost like a high-dimensional person, can see the general trend clearly. He also knows that this is not a pure HP world, because he has come into contact with three kinds of vampires with different origins during the days of fleeing. The werewolves here are also more ferocious and powerful than originally imagined.
Of course, no matter how grand the layout is, it needs to be filled with details to build 'My World'.
In this way, it is indeed a bit more passionate, but it is not impossible to achieve it.
Zhao Wenrui felt that he could take this grand life goal as a different kind of reincarnation mission, with a more difficult start and a longer mission time.
And although he lost many additional technical and material bonuses due to his rebirth, and his ability system seemed a bit broken, the core and framework were there, and what was missing could be completed and replaced.
In this life, since he was able to walk steadily, he has been laying the groundwork for it. It has been nearly four years now, and he feels that the time is right and he can carry out the operation.
So in the next six months, he mainly did three things, heal his injuries, make money, and spend money.
Rehabilitation runs through the entire timeline, and his body cannot return to the level of a normal child before completing a certain secret technique.
As for making money, it is really not difficult for him.
In the way of cross-execution, he has done three business orders successively, all targeting Muggles, and all of them were done in the United States, the cousin's house in England...
