Hogwarts: Wizards of Eternity.

Chapter 148: New Semester Begins, Demon God's Phase Structure

"Very good, you can give this answer. It shows that you really understood what I said before." Roger did not refute or show any displeasure when he heard that Hermione did not directly choose him.

Instead, he smiled knowingly.

Roger had said before that, given the nature of magic, setting a high goal would yield greater rewards.

But this is just an appearance.

Hermione saw the truth beneath the surface.

Magic is a miracle of the mind.

Only when you firmly believe in magic and desire it, will magic respond to you.

The reason why Roger took this path and was able to succeed on it can be re-examined using this theory.

It's easy to find.

Along the way, in addition to Roger's own talents and prophetic abilities, there is another very important point, that is, he firmly believes that he is on the right path.

He doesn't care what others think of him.

It doesn't matter whether you respect yourself as a prophet, consider yourself a murderer, or even a lower evaluation.

Be it respect, fear, disregard, disgust, belittlement or love, Roger turned a deaf ear to them all.

He would not plan any action plans for things that would not benefit his path to eternal life, and he would not bother to care about things that would not harm his path to eternal life.

Saving people, teaching school bullies a lesson, and other seemingly "trivial" things are actually closely related to his path to eternal life.

'Spiritual integrity'.

Doing what he likes, not doing what he hates, and maintaining the bottom line are one of the ways he anchors himself.

If you can't even be firm in yourself, you don't even need to think, and you will definitely not go far on the path of ignorance.

In order to achieve immortality, he constantly absorbed new knowledge, conducted various magical experiments, communicated with professors at Hogwarts, started an industry to test and improve new constraints, traveled around Europe, and trained successors.

He always does what he believes is important and right. It is this kind of determination and belief that makes him receive a magical response.

Now back to the original question, how should we choose the path of the second magic?

Potential is certainly important, but continuing on a path you know has major flaws is clearly not appropriate behavior.

But it doesn’t mean you should choose the path with the highest potential.

"When we return to Hogwarts, I will talk to Headmaster Dumbledore about you. Then you can go and study with him for a while."

"Yeah." Hermione nodded.

Roger's approval made Hermione even more convinced that she was right.

Potential is potential, strength is strength.

Not everyone can turn potential into strength.

Just like the potential of computer science is endless.

Create artificial intelligence and open the next chapter of human civilization development. Master network technology and call the shots on the Internet. Write software that makes life more convenient for countless people and increases productivity...

Looks wonderful, right?

However, most practitioners are unable to reach the limit of their professional potential. They work overtime every day as code farmers, and are "optimized" after their thinking becomes unable to work. They end up with occupational diseases, and they don't even know if the money they earn is enough to treat their diseases. This is the main theme.

Hermione's choice was to experience several different second magic paths while everything could still be turned back.

Find a path that suits you best and that you can go the longest!
It’s useless to design the second magic with a high upper limit. You have to find a way to realize it with a high upper limit!
"Roger! Come over here and look at this!"

When Roger was about to say a few words of encouragement to Hermione, a surprised voice came from Ollivander beside him.

"Look at this wand, it's different from the previous experiment..." Ollivander, like Gollum stroking the One Ring, with a gleam in his eyes, repeatedly looked at the wand that was still shining with a different kind of magical brilliance.

"Oh? Let me take a look." Roger walked over.

He had nothing more to say to Hermione except encouragement.

In fact, he thought that Hermione would most likely choose her own path of 'realm of illusion and truth' in the end.

But what she was about to do was not in vain.

Just like many people, the career they end up pursuing is not related to the major they studied in school.

So is it the right choice not to study and go straight to work so that you can have a few years more work experience than your peers?
Let’s ignore the very few individual cases that were created by the times and personal abilities.

In most cases, those who learn more are more likely to go higher in the future.

Society’s recognition of academic qualifications, the connections made in school, the more logical way of thinking acquired through learning, the problem-solving methods learned, and even the emotional ups and downs.

These are all very meaningful things in life.

In Roger's eyes, Hermione seemed to be taking a detour, but the act of taking a detour itself was meaningful.

Again, magic is closely related to the mind.

Directly learn your own illusory and true realm, and experience various second magic powers, and finally determine that the illusory and true realm is the most correct way, and start learning.

It may take some time in the early stages, but in the long run, this may allow Hermione to go higher and further on the road of magic!

The next day, early in the morning, the sun rose.

Ollivander sighed, "Unfortunately, it cannot completely simulate everything in reality. It can only be used as a form of communication at present."

The rising of the sun means that the summer vacation at Hogwarts is completely over. Roger will leave Ollivander's Wand Shop and go to King's Cross Station to take the train to Hogwarts.

"It will be perfect one day." Roger said with a smile.

Roger's smile was not just a polite smile, but he was really in a very good mood.

Technology research is a wonderful thing.

Sometimes the technology you research for goal A may inexplicably be effective for goal B.

Just like the little blue pill that was researched for heart disease but unexpectedly became a boon to some men.

Roger and Ollivander were obviously researching the combination of the second magic and the wand, but after much research, they unexpectedly unlocked a "technology tree" that was beyond Roger's expectations!
【Ultra-long-distance virtual world networking! 】

"I will contact you after I have sorted out my return to school at Hogwarts, and we will continue our research then."

"Okay," Ollivander replied in an expectant tone.

Roger's virtual reality technology has always had a limitation.

That is, if two people are using virtual reality devices at the same time and both want to connect online, they must be very close to each other so that Roger can use the power of mind magic and alchemy to link the two together.

This is why Roger specially cleared out an abandoned old classroom in Hogwarts to use as a 'game room'.

Instead of distributing the equipment and letting students and professors use it at will, we should spread the equipment to society and let the wizards' 'global village Internet era' come.

It’s not that I don’t want to, it’s that I really can’t do it.

But it's different now.

It is now 1992. The world's first modern Internet search engine was created by British network engineer Jonathan Fletcher in 1993. Google and the like only began to emerge around 1996 to 1998.

Judging from the current trend, maybe wizard civilization can really overtake others and enter the era of information explosion earlier than Muggle technological civilization!
And it happens in one step, skipping the mouse, keyboard and display screen and directly entering the virtual space.

Unreasonable leaps in development is also one of the characteristics of wizard civilization.

"Hermione, are you packed? If you are, take my arm."

"I'm ready." Hermione said, holding the suitcase in one hand and holding Roger's arm with the other.

Hermione had never expected that she had come here to witness the wizarding civilization's wand technology opening a new chapter in history, but she unexpectedly witnessed a breakthrough in virtual reality networking technology.

How is ultra-long-distance virtual world networking achieved?
This story all started with the wand that Ollivander held in his hand like a treasure last night.

The two thought it would be a sample of an important technological breakthrough in wand research.

But unexpectedly, a mistake happened. The highly fused state of the magic wand only lasted for a short time, and then it exploded.

Powerful magic power poured into the virtual world of the incarnation wand core, allowing it to prop up a huge illusory scene in reality, not to mention Ollivander's Wand Shop.

Half of Diagon Alley saw the semi-finished 'Illusionary Realm' appear in reality.

It was clearly summer, but the sky was filled with snowflakes dancing in the air.

Roger naturally tried to cast a spell to erase it to avoid causing chaos.

And it was during the casting that Roger discovered.

The unfinished product, the 'Realm of Illusion and Truth', did not have much ability to interfere with reality. The falling snowflakes did not make people feel cool at all. The phantoms of the snowflakes passed through the body as if they were just a projection.

But...the snowflakes actually 'penetrated' into other wands when they landed on them!

The sunny forest, the silent moon, the turbulent ocean, the one-to-one replica of an uninhabited city... the different virtual worlds in the magic wand also began to snow.

Yes, this incomplete world of illusion cannot affect reality, but it can interfere with the weak and ethereal virtual reality!
At that moment, an idea popped into Roger's mind.

Nested structure of virtual worlds.

Roger had read a work in his previous life.

"A Certain Magical Index".

The being standing at the pinnacle of the extraordinary system is called the Demon God, which does not mean the god of demons, but the god of magic.

They have covered reality with a layer of 'phase', and can influence reality by manipulating their own phases, and can manipulate, create, and destroy all the laws of the universe at will.

To put it in Muggle technology terms, if reality is an online game, then the devil can use a "private operating system modifier" called phase to influence everything as he pleases.

And now, Roger found that he could probably play a similar set of things.

However, with my current abilities and the limitations of virtual technology, what is affected and modified is not reality, but other virtual worlds created by myself.

Cultivate a 'Second Magic Realm of Illusion' that does not affect the real world.

Instead, it is cultivated in the direction of "big" and "interference in the virtual world".

As long as we 'feed' it until it is larger than the earth, we can achieve unlimited global networking!
He even combined it with his own 'Utopia Creation·Dream Shadow of Thought' technology, using the utopian creature Dream Shadow of Thought as a repeater for jumps.

As long as there are tens of thousands of planet-sized virtual interference versions of the Illusionary Realm deployed on the colonized planets of the future, the era of delay-free universe online gaming will come immediately!

Even if you are far away in the M78 Nebula, you can still have a father-son game of Zaun showdown with Earth.

This thing is much better than the Yaspace Network.JPG
With a yearning for the future, Roger looked at his arm and made sure Hermione was holding on tightly.

Disapparate!

Accompanied by a fluctuation of space, the two figures disappeared in front of Ollivander.

.

.

.

Hermione's face looked a little ugly. She was holding the suitcase and her face was pale.

Apparently, Apparating was not a pleasant experience.

Hermione felt so uncomfortable just once, so one can imagine how Harry felt after Apparating thousands of times in space.

...After coming into contact with Roger, Harry gained greater room for development, but conversely, he also experienced a lot of pain that should not have been in his destiny.

Just like right now.

"Huh?" Roger glanced around, a little confused.

When he arrived at King's Cross Station, Roger saw many familiar little wizards, but there was no trace of Harry.

After experiencing more than himself getting along with Harry, Roger clearly knew that Harry was now a person without procrastination.

He should prefer to arrive early rather than waiting for the right time.

But I didn't see him at this moment.

"...Could it be that he was delayed by some inexplicable thing?" Recalling Harry's original fate in his second year, Roger frowned slightly.
