Although Eriri didn't understand the underlying meaning of their conversation, she instinctively became wary. This alertness prompted her not to accept Jessica's sword, but to simply warn, "If something like this happens again, tell me in advance!"

511 Confident Hermione

This is an actor: Ali, you lost this time.

Book Artist: Huh? How do you say that?

At this time, Eriri had returned to her residence, took off her cloak and clothes, and soaked her whole body in the bathtub.

To be honest, she was really disgusted with her mysterious suit now. Not only was it a bit inconvenient during battle, but it was also very stuffy.

This is an actor: What they want to give you is not just a sword.

Curly: Yes, I can see that too! That apology obviously wasn't just a sword. You're really at a loss!

Book Artist: Could you please stop being a riddle teller and explain yourself more clearly?

Scarlet Snake Fairy: I think this is pretty clear. That sword symbolizes her entire family. And if she's willing to give it to you, it's like she's willing to give you her entire territory, isn't it?

Book artist: ???

Eriri, who was rubbing her back, froze in shock.

Lazy Kitten: Damn, if that's the case, then I'm really losing out! Bloody loss, sister! The entire territory, that's the entire territory! Ali-chan lost her position as lord!

Hatchet Girl: What a pity...

Illustrator: Your speculation is a bit far-fetched. Why would she give me her territory for no reason? She's a lord, a venomous snake of the empire! This isn't some charity!

Skirt-lifting maniac: Alas, it seems that Ali-chan still doesn’t understand women’s hearts.

Book artist: You don’t understand. After all, our Master Lei is the king of the harem in Academy City!

Skirt-lifting maniac: Damn it, it's started again? Are we going to hurt each other again?

The illustrator said: "Get it straight, you were the one who attacked first! What does this have to do with a woman's heart? You're just forcing it!"

Angel of the Hidden Rain Village: I think Ruiko-chan really didn't force the involvement this time. I'm afraid that the female lord really has a crush on you.

Lin Fengjiao: To be honest, I think so too.

Illustrator: ??? He fell in love with me so much! Is there such a thing as love at first sight in another world? And I didn't even show my face! This doesn't even count as seeing!

Wig: Fate is sometimes very clever. Sometimes it comes silently like a heavy rain.

Lazy Kitten: Damn, Wig, you sound quite artistic when you say that! Hilarious!

Foul-mouthed man: Damn it, why? Why do all you women have this enviable situation, but I don't? It's not fair, this is truly unfair!

Book artist: If you envy us, you can go for an operation.

Skirt-lifting maniac: Hahahaha, don't forget his X-factor! Even if I wanted to do it, I can't! I don't have the channels!

Hatchet Girl: Haha, it’s really funny that I don’t have any channels!

Foul-mouthed Suit Man: Laugh, laugh at me all you want! I've already expected this outcome. Every hero will be looked down upon and ridiculed.

This is an actor: What kind of hero are you, a hero who creates the undead plague?

Book artist: Hahahaha, damn! An Ran-sang's finishing move is just amazing!

The foul-mouthed man in the suit: Fuck, uncle, from today on I will redeem myself from my crime and make amends for it!

Hatchet Girl: What crime did you commit? You can't even leave the cell? Wait, you really escaped from prison?

Foul-mouthed man: No! I wrote a letter of guarantee!

Curly-haired boy: Poof!

Skull Island Handsome Guy: Letter of Guarantee...

The illustrator said: This is really surprising. Even the unruly Mr. Deadpool would write a letter of guarantee? We must have walked into the wrong set, hey!

This is an actor: Interesting, this is a tip from Nick Fury.

Although Jellal's words seemed to be a question, they were actually affirmative. Because according to Deadpool's personality and behavior, it is impossible for him to come up with the idea of writing a letter of guarantee on his own.

It's very simple for Nick Fury to do this, he just needs to take out insurance.

From the last incident with the Undead Scourge, it was clear that Deadpool truly possessed the power of a powerful superhero. Furthermore, with someone like him as his backer, it would be a waste if he didn't use it.

But if it was used, Nick Fury himself could not bear any serious consequences. That's why he thought of using the guarantee as an insurance policy.

This way, even if Deadpool does something wrong, the Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. can use the letter of guarantee to clear himself. And if Deadpool doesn't do anything wrong and instead makes a contribution... Nick Fury can still use the letter of guarantee to claim credit.

You can attack when you advance and defend when you retreat, and you can gain advantages from both sides.

Thinking this in his mind, Gerard pretended to be nonchalant as he listened to Fudge's long speech. This was the first time the Minister of Magic had given such an impromptu speech at Hogwarts, and the excitement on his face was beyond words.

If Dumbledore were still the headmaster, he wouldn't be so arrogant. But the current acting headmaster is McGonagall, and with her abilities, she is no match for a political veteran like Fudge.

Although Fudge on the stage was very excited, the young wizards below were complaining.

They weren't the bureaucrats at the Ministry of Magic who would flatter their superiors. To them, this long, boring impromptu performance was a disaster, not even as good as the mashed potatoes for dinner.

"Damn, this guy is so annoying!" Harry Potter couldn't help but complain in a low voice.

"But some people really like it." Ron looked at his brother Percy, who was concentrating on his work, and his mouth twitched slightly. "Why is this guy's last name Weasley?!"

"Let's put that aside. Has Harry got the address?" Hermione asked softly.

"Well, but do we really want to go?" Harry nodded and said worriedly, "Dobby told me it's very dangerous there, and the leading house-elf is more powerful than an adult wizard!"

"Pfft, that's the funniest joke I've heard this year!" Ron laughed out loud and said, "Harry, I think you should read more of the book Secrets of Magic."

Hermione explained bluntly, "House-elves are indeed very proficient in magic, but the magical power in their bodies is less than one-tenth of that of wizards. So it is impossible for a house-elf to be more powerful than a wizard, unless it is not an elf at all."

Harry was silent for a moment, then said, "That's a possibility. We can't be careless."

"Don't worry, I already learned the basics of celestial magic yesterday." Hermione patted her ordinary chest and said, "According to Professor Ziklaine, even an adult wizard could be defeated by me if he's not careful!"

512 The Powerful History of Wizards

"What celestial magic?" Ron asked subconsciously.

"Have you forgotten what Professor Ziklein said in the first class?" Hermione looked at him in shock and said loudly, "The astronomy class we are taking now is based on the theory of celestial magic!"

"Yes, Ron." Harry nodded at this time and said, "I heard it too."

"What on earth do you do every day? You even skip such an important class?" Hermione scolded with some disapproval.

"I don't think it's that important." Ron turned his head away and muttered softly, "Anyway, it's all knowledge that I don't understand at all. How can the human body correspond to the universe?"

"The fact is, it can indeed be done through magical trajectories and power!" Hermione argued, "The human body's magical circulation can itself simulate the trajectory of the universe! This is the mystery of celestial magic. You really should listen carefully..."

"Oh, please!" Ron's mouth twitched. "I've really had enough! We already learn so much magic every day, why do we have to cram in celestial magic? And the theory is so abstruse, who can understand it?"

"I've gotten started, Ron," Hermione said, frowning.

"That's because you're Miss Know-It-All, and we're the last ones!" Ron said with a hint of sarcasm in his tone, "Are you satisfied with this answer?"

"The theory of celestial magic is indeed very profound and confusing," Harry nodded in agreement. "For example, the idea of concentrating magical energy to simulate a nebula within the body...how exactly does one do that?"

"Yeah, and even if he did, so what?" Ron rolled his eyes and said, "He can beat adult wizards at our age, really? Only a crazy fan like you who has fallen for it would believe it!"

"Ron!" Hermione was furious. "You've gone too far. Not only have you insulted me...you've also insulted Professor Ziklaine! The professor is definitely not a liar. You can't slander him like that!"

"Alright, I apologize." Looking at the furious Hermione, Ron decisively backed off and said, "But what I said is also based on facts. How can little wizards of our age possibly be a match for adult wizards? This is totally against the laws of magic!"

"Laws aren't the only rules!" Hermione breathed a sigh of relief, her tone slowing down. "If laws were absolute, why would someone like Professor Ziklaine exist? He passed the Auror test two years ago, something many adult wizards can't pass!"

"But as far as we know, Professor Ziklein is the only exception, right?" Ron shook his head and said, "Besides him, who else has violated this law?"

"And Professor Ziklaine is an Obscurial," Harry continued. "The magical energy in the bodies of Obscurials is many times greater than that of ordinary people. They have power reactors like the Obscurus to provide magical energy conversion."

"Then we'll wait and see. We'll prove it with practice!" Hermione no longer tried to convince her two companions and decided to slap them in the face with her actions.

"Okay." Ron spread his hands, feeling very disapproving.

He felt that it was ridiculous that they could defeat adult wizards at their age, just like a house-elf could defeat an adult wizard. This was absolutely impossible.

Why have wizards been able to rule the entire magical world for thousands of years, while humanoid magical creatures such as vampires, werewolves, and swamp witches can only hide in dark corners?

Are they just outnumbered by human wizards?

Actually, it's not. In ancient times, the number of these magical creatures even exceeded that of wizards. Moreover, they are all immortal species, with lifespans far exceeding that of humans.

But why is it that in modern times, these magical creatures have almost disappeared? In the entire magical world, only Romania can detect the existence of some vampires?

That was because they had suffered a massive, coordinated extermination by wizards, a near-blanket annihilation. Their proud racial talents were completely vulnerable to the powerful magic created by the wizards.

This is an absolute gap in power. The wizard himself is the strongest in this world.

Ron was afraid that the house-elves would start a war, not because he was afraid that wizards would be exterminated, but because he was afraid that young wizards like them would be affected, and being involved would be an unprovoked disaster.

Moreover, the war disasters described in the book made him instinctively averse to war.

Just as their three-person group was discussing privately, Fudge's speech on the stage finally came to an end.

As expected, the Minister of Magic finally couldn't help but lash out at Dumbledore, saying that his actions in capturing the house-elves were a disgrace to wizards.

This also made many teachers and students glare at Fudge, and only a very small number of students, such as Malfoy, clapped and cheered enthusiastically.

In their view, Fudge's clear-cut stance was a signal. This signal indicated that Dumbledore's era was over! Without Dumbledore's suppression, their pure-blood faction could finally raise its head.

"Damn it, damn it!" Ron roared in anger, his face full of anger. "How dare he say that! Dumbledore brought shame to wizards! If it weren't for Dumbledore, the world would have been ruled by You-Know-Who long ago!"

"Not only the You-Know-Who, but also the previous Dark Lord Grindelwald was stopped by Dumbledore," Harry added.

"But what Fudge is saying now is downplaying this part of the truth." Hermione was silent for a moment, then said, "What he needs now is not to mention Dumbledore's achievements, but to completely suppress his reputation."

"This damn politician is not worthy at all!" Ron said angrily.

"It's not a question of whether he's qualified or not. The problem is that he's the one in power now." Hermione sighed and said, "He can formulate the entire policy plan, but we can't. We can only watch the situation get worse and worse..."

"So, we have to speed up the process." Harry breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Let's meet in the lounge tonight."

513 Anxious Hermione

The night is getting darker.

In the Hogwarts castle, inside Gerald's dormitory.

Hermione kept looking up at the wall clock, her expression somewhat absent-minded.

"You're wrong. You got the node of the sixth section wrong." Luna patted her shoulder and said softly, "This should be the Alpha line. This is the only way to stabilize the other magic nodes."

"Oh, sorry." Hermione quickly used an eraser to erase the curved line she had drawn and outlined it again.

"Are you worried about something?" Jellal looked at her and asked knowingly.

"No, nothing... nothing." Hermione lowered her head guiltily and said softly, "Maybe I didn't sleep well last night."

They really didn't dare tell the young professor what they were about to do. After all, the implications were too great, and they had to proceed with caution.

But hiding it from the other party made her feel guilty, so she felt very guilty.

"You didn't sleep well, so you might need some sleep-inducing magic." Luna blinked and spoke in her ethereal voice, "I happen to know a few of them. Do you want to try them?"

"No, thank you." Hermione's lips twitched slightly. She didn't really have insomnia, so why would she need a sleep-inducing spell? If this really worked, how would she go about her business at night?

"Then go back and rest early. There's no need to rush the construction of the Paradise Tower." Gerald said considerately, "Now that we've found a site, we should be able to start construction next semester."

"Is it okay?" Hermione looked at the time and it was indeed getting late. If she didn't get to the lounge early, who knew if those two guys would act rashly or not.

"Sure, it's okay." Jellal nodded slightly.

"What about Luna, aren't you leaving?" Hermione turned her gaze to Luna again.

She instinctively didn't want the girl in front of her to be alone with the boy, so she didn't forget to mention it at this time.

"I still need to further observe and simulate the stability of the magic circle." Luna's eyes were vague, as if she didn't hear the hidden meaning in Hermione's words.

"Is that so? All right then." Hermione stood up, somewhat unhappily, and bowed to Gerald. "See you tomorrow, Professor Ziklein," she said, turning around and leaving, clutching her notebook.

"Oh, she didn't seem to say that to me." Looking at Hermione's disappearing back, Luna said meaningfully, "So, she doesn't want to see me tomorrow?"

"I think you're overthinking it." Jellal said expressionlessly as he continued with the task at hand.

"Ha, isn't the Demon King worried?" Luna walked over to him and sat down on the desk. "Your good student might get hurt."

"This is her own choice." Gerald paused and said, "And I don't think there is anything there that can hurt her."
