Chapter 312 What Is the Heart of a Strong Person?
Voldemort has been lurking for half a year, specifically targeting those magic circles whose political orders do not leave the capital. He first organized some blood sacrifices in the Muggle society to restore limbs and strength, and then defeated those scattered witchcraft tribes one by one.
After six months of low-key development, the tribes he controlled have swept across several southern countries and began to spread to central Africa. They have not attacked the Ministry of Magic of various countries, and specifically selected those tribes that are at odds with the capital as the backbone. Moreover, after being controlled by him, they will not take the initiative to cause trouble to the local Ministry of Magic, and will even take the initiative to give in when they are surrounded by the Ministry of Magic.
Judging from the development momentum, Voldemort is integrating the strength of various tribes and deliberately avoiding any tribes and capitals that are pro-International Confederation of Wizards, even though his current power is enough to overthrow the Ministry of Magic of two or three small countries.
Chen Bin can see from these one-sided reports that Voldemort's plan this time is not small, and he has found the right direction of development.
If the rate of extraordinary people born in Africa is similar to that in Europe, then at least 46,000 people are confirmed to have wizard talents!
If Voldemort unified 10% of Africa's combat power, he would have at least 4,000 men under his command.
In addition, the Dark Lord is good at dark magic and has a tradition of teaching his men to learn. He could select some tribal leaders to focus on training, and then let these people teach their tribal wizards, and the combat power would immediately change significantly.
More importantly, Africa is not only populated by people, but also by animals. The more wizards he has, the easier it will be to tame powerful magical animals or recruit violent humanoid creatures.
In the original destiny, Voldemort had a large number of alien races and violent creatures, even more than wizards.
In this way, if Voldemort regained 4,000 tribal wizards, he would probably be able to recruit the same number of non-human men.
The more Chen Bin thought about it, the more worried he became. This disgusting guy could raise tens of thousands of forces at any time, and he was still in an area not bound by the International Confederation of Wizards.
This time, the reason why Voldemort's actions were exposed was that a tribe that was exterminated by him was not completely slaughtered, and several wizards escaped and found the Ministry of Magic in southern Africa, and reported the matter to the International Confederation of Wizards.
Soon, the Ministry of Magic in central and southern Africa also began to investigate the tribes with abnormal dynamics. Many Ministry of Magic personnel were lost in the operation, and they could only roughly estimate that at least more than 40 tribes had become Voldemort's forces, with a population of roughly 700-3000 people.
Yes, the report is such an unreliable speculation, hiding place, list of characters, financial resources, military strength, etc., nothing!
This is the wizard tribe, and it is still in the few magic circles where the government orders cannot leave the capital. The local Ministry of Magic is willing to send spies to investigate this matter. It is considered to be doing its best!
"Professor, this is really a big deal. Do you plan to intervene?" Chen Bin put the report back on the table, not optimistic that the International Confederation of Wizards can solve this problem.
"You also know what the representatives of the various ministries of magic are like?" Dumbledore shook his head and looked at the cover of the report in silence.
Chen Bin knew that Old Dumbledore had not called him here to propose a solution, so he sat opposite Old Dumbledore and stared blankly together.
That is, if the enemy does not move, I will not move, and if you move, I will not move. Old Dumbledore must have called him here for no good reason.
After a while, Dumbledore saw that Chen Bin was really concentrating on staring blankly, but he still couldn't resist the shamelessness of this funny guy and broke the silence. "I will be busy with meetings during this period. You and Minerva are optimistic about Hogwarts, is there any problem?"
Who is Chen Bin?
Don't sit if you can lie down, don't stand if you can sit, don't walk if you can stand, and don't run if you can walk.
: "Obviously there are Sirius, Lupin and Snape, why do you have to find me? Flitwick and..."
Dumbledore's eyes suddenly became sharp.
(╬ ̄俣): "You still have a choice. I am optimistic about Hogwarts. You will take charge of the Defense Department and the International Confederation of Wizards for me."
(〃'▽'〃): "Hogwarts is my home. Everyone should take care of it~ Principal, I will do my job. You can leave~ Go out and preside over world peace~"
"Get Out Of HERE!" Dumbledore was really unhappy this time. Seeing this, Chen Bin immediately ran away.
Chen Bin left. Old Dumbledore stood by the window and looked into the distance, sighing, "If the European magic world was as united as the East, who would be afraid of those self-proclaimed demon kings? That kid didn't consider a head-on confrontation, he just wanted to be a happy clown... The more I think about it, the angrier I get. If I had his conditions... Alas!"
"That's right, Principal." Chen Bin had clearly walked out of the office, but suddenly turned back to the door, stuck half of his head out and asked, "You said before that I don't have the heart of a strong man. What exactly is this heart?"
"How about it? You suddenly want to be a strong man again?" Dumbledore was indeed interested when he heard this, but Chen Bin shook his head decisively and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? I just want to discuss academic issues in this area with you."
Chen Bin then sat back in his original seat and described the dream that Mahalat replayed.
Dumbledore really showed great interest, and repeatedly and carefully asked about every detail and feeling, but Mahalat could no longer leave Chen Bin and Kate's body, and could not report the dream to Dumbledore.
After a long while, Dumbledore gave his guess. "It's not that the ancient bloodline has degenerated, but that people's ability to understand has weakened."
Chen Bin was confused by his words, as if two people with different worldviews were talking about the same thing. He always believed that there was no winner after the ancient magic war. In order to pass on their heritage, every wizard family had to marry with Muggles, and the offspring born would naturally have blood degeneration. Accumulated over generations, of course, each generation is worse than the previous one.
However, Dumbledore's point of view is different. He believes that there was a heritage gap in the ancient times, and their perceptions and experiences were not left, making it impossible for future generations to return to their level. Those extraordinary feelings in the dream that surpassed the magic level were definitely the essence of practice in that period. The power of magic was just an appearance, or a product of auxiliary belts.
His reasoning was not supported by any facts, but the logic was very complete.
The war of mental illness only caused the strongest to die, but the secondary combat power of the same blood survived. Their blood is consistent with the strongest, and there must be some pure-blooded wizards who continue to maintain the tradition of pure-blood intermarriage.
However, by the time of Olympus, wizards had not yet reached their original terrifying heights, and their combat power had even declined significantly.
It was not until the Roman period that the real universal marriage was achieved, and it was extremely difficult to find a wizard descendant whose ancestors were not mixed-blood.
That is to say, the real period of complete mixed-blood appeared in ancient Rome, but the earlier Olympus community could not catch up with the ancestors in a closed environment.
Therefore, Dumbledore believed that the strongest died with the inexpressible essence. They may not have really died in battle, but they deliberately erased this inheritance that could destroy the world.
On the other hand, with the change of dynasties, the closer to modern times, the fewer monks there are so-called "ascending", and the miracle of "ascending" has not even reappeared since the end of the Qing Dynasty.
The monk world, which also pays attention to bloodline, can at least maintain the pure monk bloodline in ancient times, but no great gods of the level of the War of the Ancients have been born, and the descendants have also weakened from generation to generation.
Therefore, whether in the East or the West, there were also catastrophes caused by extraordinary people in ancient times.
Then, although both sides still had descendants of blood, the problem of declining strength had already appeared before large-scale interbreeding.
Combining the results of the East and the West, Chen Bin had to believe Dumbledore's inference-blood degeneration was not the main reason, and the strongest ancient people joined forces to destroy the inheritance of the god level was the fundamental reason.
Even the Nama family with a complete genealogy, the Nama witch who survived the war did not mention the inheritance that surpassed the magic level, and that inheritance was the foundation for the extraordinary to destroy the world.
Without inheritance, magic is still magic, but there is no longer the spiritual skill that surpasses the perception of wizards, that is, the indescribable feeling in dreams, and only pure magic is left.
After the ancient war, the magic power of several generations is still close to the level of the strongest, but the magic power driven by magic theory alone is no longer the strongest The ability to destroy the world.
This is like a tank is still the same tank, but the descendants no longer know how to fire, and can no longer use the sights, electronic equipment, communication devices, positioning systems, etc., and can only crush the opponent with their own weight and tracks.
In the eyes of ordinary mortals, whether it is cannon fire or track crushing, being hit is death.
The descendants lost the method of artillery fire and continued to study driving skills.
Then, they married ordinary people, and the descendants born changed from heavy tanks to medium tanks, medium tanks to light tanks, and light tanks to various types of tracked vehicles. They even gave birth to descendants who did not know how to drive - dumb guns!
However, after the ancient war, wizards were the real dumb guns, because they had become tanks that could not shoot, and magic power became the diesel of tanks, and they only used more backward methods to crush their opponents.
No matter how the magic skills are improved and how sophisticated they are, they are still the driving skills of tanks. This is like playing drift with a tank and opening a bottle cap at high speed with tracks. It is still not comparable to the main gun in terms of level.
