Hogwarts: Wizards of Eternity.

Chapter 67 The Disaster Did Not Disappear, It Just Moved

“I believe that our joint efforts will bear fruit sooner or later, and people of all ethnic groups in our country will live in a prosperous and democratic society sooner or later.”

“I wish you all the best.”

After Map Head's TV speech ended, Dumbledore and Roger were silent for a long time.

After a long moment, Dumbledore murmured in a low voice: "...It's over."

For the nearly 100-year-old wizard, he has witnessed the establishment of this country, its strength, and glory, which brought about a whole new possibility for the direction of human civilization. He has also witnessed its decay and degeneration... and today, he witnessed its end.

Even for Dumbledore, it was a huge psychological shock.

After a while, Dumbledore let out a long sigh and said, "Anyway, the most terrible result did not happen, and the catastrophe did not come."

As the greatest wizard in Britain in the 20th century, his greatest achievement was stopping Grindelwald. He was also a Muggle wizard who stood on a pro-Muggle stance.

If the Cold War turns into a hot war, it will be a real world-destroying crisis.

On the surface, the power of nuclear bombs cannot completely destroy the human race, and humans still have a chance to rebuild civilization.

But actually, that's not the case.

This is a magical world. In the Middle Ages, not only did the Black Death kill a large number of people in Europe, but the black magic creatures that bred due to despair also achieved great results.

Once a nuclear war breaks out, God knows what kind of monsters will be bred in despair by humans whose civilization has been destroyed.

You know, the current global population is many times that of the Middle Ages when the Black Death was rampant!
"The catastrophe won't come? Not necessarily." Roger shook his head.

After the end of World War II, in 1960, the average life expectancy in the Soviet Union was 70 years old, while in the period after the disintegration, the average life expectancy was 58 years old, which is almost close to the 56 years old in Somalia, a country with long-term anarchy and many pirates. One can imagine the living environment.

The great plunder of the Soviet heritage was about to begin.

The disaster did not disappear, but instead was borne by the Soviet people instead of the people of the world.

This catastrophe will not be very severe, but it will be long.

The decline of the economy and the decline of the country's status.

A superpower split into numerous small countries, and the geopolitics of the entire region changed.

They were once one country and one nation, but in the future they may even become enemies due to new international confrontations.

Not just the Muggle world.

The same goes for the wizarding world.

Ever since the International Statute of Secrecy was signed, there has been an unwritten rule in the wizarding world.

The territorial division of wizarding power is based on the national borders of Muggles.

There must be a huge mess in the Ministry of Magic over there.

In the end, I don’t know how it will end.

I think that many eyes that were originally focused on the Middle East will shift their gaze to the other side, and Dumbledore will also be much more relaxed when dealing with the Statute of Secrecy issue.

"What do you mean?" Roger's identity as a prophet made Dumbledore somewhat concerned about his sigh.

Isn't the disintegration the end of everything?

Roger didn't reveal too much about this, but just briefly talked about what might happen in the next few years after the disintegration.

Dumbledore frowned as he heard this.

"Is there no way?" The prophet's 'spoiler' made Dumbledore feel physically uncomfortable.

"You want to stop the trend of the times?"

"The last person who thought this way was Voldemort, and the one before that you are more familiar with." Roger said meaningfully.

Since ancient times, people who go against the trend of the times will most likely not have a good ending.

Roger thought that Dumbledore should understand this well.

Unless... your power alone can overturn the torrent of common choice of all living beings!
Dumbledore clenched his fist, then unclenched it after a few seconds.

Although he was hailed as the greatest wizard in modern Britain, he always had to accept the fact that he was 'weak'.

His power alone cannot change anything, and the power of a wizard cannot turn the world upside down.

Be it Voldemort or Grindelwald, they both started doing big things after gathering strength.

Just as Voldemort could gather a group of crazy people, Grindelwald could attract the elite who believed that wizards were superior to others to follow him.

What about myself? As a member of the Order of the Phoenix, would I be willing to get involved in a crisis that has nothing to do with wizards just because I have a little kindness towards Muggles?

Even if they are willing, should I take them, who already have a stable life, to wade into this muddy water?

Moreover, as a wizard, my own interference might not bring salvation, but might bring another greater disaster.

After thinking about it in his mind, Dumbledore calmed down his turbulent mood caused by the great changes in the world situation.

Looking at Dumbledore who had calmed down, Roger continued: "What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again, there is nothing new under the sun."

"Don't think too much. In the future, human suffering will happen again and again countless times, unless..."

"Humans are not human."

As he spoke, Roger placed the notebook he had been holding in his hand into Dumbledore's palm.

Theory of Three Dimensions

"If humans evolve into a higher level of life, the underlying logic of thinking and various abilities will undergo major changes, and perhaps everything will take a different direction."

In Roger's view, as long as the human mind does not undergo fundamental changes, any changes in institutional laws and rules will only change the substance. Because no matter how you set the rules, they still need people to enforce them, and in the end they will become like "people".

Whether it is the current Soviet Union, the future United States, or even all powerful countries that will be born in the more distant future, even if they are powerful enough to unify the world, they will eventually succumb to the greed in human nature.

The strongest fortress is always shattered from within.

History is a mirror for understanding the rise and fall of dynasties. How did the extremely powerful dynasties of China fall? It is nothing more than this.

If you want to change everything, on the one hand, you need to change human nature, and on the other hand, you need to change productivity and production relations. The answer to both is... evolution!
Taking the book, Dumbledore looked at Roger's face without comment.

Everyone had their own answer to how the world could be a better place, and Dumbledore had no interest in arguing with Roger about it.

As I said, how you say it is not important, what is important is how you do it.

The shampooer still had a dream of making everyone as good as a dragon, but what he finally did was to sterilize the disabled and "inferior races". The Americans did something similar in 1924.

So, he was more concerned with what Roger might do in the future than with Roger's opinions.

And what will Roger do in the future...

Dumbledore carefully opened the book in his hand.
