The Strongest Badger at Hogwarts

Chapter 372 The new ideal has not yet appeared

Compared with the title of Muggle master, Link believes that the group of wizards is more like a parasite that lives in Muggle society.

For a long time, their personalities have been quite strange and brilliant, which is directly related to the powerful power brought to them by magic, but the main reason is that they have long lacked a powerful, similar to Qin Shihuang who can carry out large-scale activities. Uniform tyrannical leader.

This directly led to the fact that the wizards under the loose alliance system did not create a prosperous wizarding civilization completely dominated by wizards, as some wizards in the previous life imagined.

Their choice was not to directly rule over Muggles, but to only intervene and influence to a limited extent without revealing their existence.

This method was quite effective when the Muggles were still in the ignorant period. The wizards succeeded in shaping themselves into gods, and they only needed to pick up the success of the Muggle development - this is an extreme lazy behavior!

But when Muggles, or mortals, took control of the true power of God, the 'nuclear', the development of Muggles was completely out of control.

To this day, Muggles have achieved a strange balance of force with wizards who were once aloof.

As for other aspects, it left the wizarding society far behind.

One of the most notable is the production model.

Muggles have almost reached the peak of mass customization production in this regard, and have begun to rapidly transform to flexible production of multiple varieties and small batches.

By the time Link came, the Muggle society had even been in a peak stage of lean production and just-in-time production.

However, the production mode most commonly used by wizards is still the most backward manual workshop production, which is inefficient and difficult to standardize.

In fact, this is no longer a secret in the wizarding world.

There used to be many Muggle-born wizards who thought they had seized the opportunity after discovering this and began to reform the production model.

Then, they hit the first problem of reform - the class solidification barrier created by the pure-blood wizard nobles.

These old nobles have completely monopolized all the extraordinary resources and zz resources in the wizarding world hundreds of thousands of years ago, and those Muggle wizards with no background want to rely on the reform of the production model to snatch resources from them. , that's just a fool's dream.

Of course, if there are some people with outstanding abilities who solve the first problem by means of being the spokesperson of a big family or other unknown means, then they will immediately find that there are densely piled up like mountains behind them. other obstacles.

Resources are exhausted, market size is limited, potions alchemy products are difficult to standardize, labor costs are extremely high, arrogant wizards are reluctant to learn Muggle experience...

Therefore, in the face of so many problems, the reform of the production model of the wizarding society has become an almost impossible thing.

Due to the particularity of the industry, and the fact that Mrs. Foley, Link and old Kled are not pure-blooded supremacy, and even have a good impression of Muggles, after years of hard work, the Foley family is already producing. Major changes have been made to the model.

Now, apart from the hunting department, which is more profitable than robbery, the Foley family has already formed a preliminary assembly line for mass customization and production, such as breeding, slaughtering, warehousing and processing plants.

Link had visited his factory with Mrs. Foley.

He was surprised to find that after successfully crossing the countless mountains that stood in the way of the reform of the production model, the productivity of the wizards would increase exponentially with the help of magic.

At least, a wizard can control five pipelines at the same time. Muggle society can't do it at this stage.

Although the industrial chain of the Beckman family seems to be quite large, the model used is actually backward, no different from that of American slave owners who planted cotton more than 100 years ago.

Even more backward than that group of slave owners.

After all, the slave owner at least knows how to send it to the assembly line factory for initial processing after picking cotton, but the Beckman family's seemingly huge pharmaceutical farm uses workshop-style production. If it dies, they can add another cluster in front .

Therefore, Link said that the Beckman family's industry is "not bad", which is really a very polite statement.

Of course, Link did not expect Beckman to understand this 'kindness'.

After coming to this world for so many years, he has already seen countless stupid people.

He was even prepared that Beckman would be furious after listening to his evaluation. After all, in a normal context, when the other party asks such a question, he just wants to hear some compliments.

What he didn't expect was that Beckman just shook his head in a very calm tone and said:

"No, the Beckmans are rotten."

"Uh, it's not so."

Link said a little embarrassedly.

He is also telling the truth, because although the industry of the Beckman family is extremely backward compared to the Foley family, compared with other families, it is simply a representative of innovation.

Beckman did not continue speaking this time.

So the old man and the young man walked silently, through the gorgeous atrium, through the dark corridor, and finally came to a very special huge room.

The special thing about this room is that it is completely shabby instead of the splendor of the previous places.

The ground here has long been damaged, the slate in many places has been broken into scum, the soil below is exposed in broad daylight, and clusters of weeds and vines grow out of it, crawling everywhere.

It can be seen that the walls of the room should have been painted with very exquisite decorations and patterns. Unfortunately, these murals, which can be called works of art, are already covered with cracks, as if they will collapse at any time.

There was even a big hole in the ceiling.

The bright moonlight just shone down through the big hole.

Link's attention instinctively looked towards the place illuminated by the moonlight, and then his eyes suddenly widened, and his pupils also widened.

There is a stone tribute table placed where the moonlight shines.

This is probably the only piece of furniture left intact in this room.

More importantly, the tribute table was placed with an iron sign consisting of a large equilateral triangle surrounded by a circle and a vertical line.

Deathly Hallows logo!

Or - the Grindelwald logo!

As a symbol used by the original Dark Lord Grindelwald, the meaning of this thing in Europe is similar to the mark of the Dark Lord in the country.

The difference between the two is that the damage caused by this symbol to the wizards of other European countries is even greater, and because Grindelwald has completely fallen, this huge damage and fear have also turned into extreme anger.

Even if it's been decades since Grindelwald's rampage.

It is still illegal to possess or make such a mark.

Of course, guys who are generally known to have this stuff will not be punished by the Ministry of Magic, because they will be torn to shreds by the local angry ordinary wizards if they can't hold out for the Aurors to come and arrest people!

To be honest, it wasn't a big surprise to see Link in the house of the 'old saint' Beckman.

But if you show it to him at this time, the meaning here is a bit complicated.

"Hoo!~"

Taking a deep breath, Link turned to look at Beckman, waiting for Beckman's explanation.

"Do you know what this is?"

Beckman spoke softly and came to the offering table, and began to wipe the dust that did not exist on the offering table and Grindelwald's sign with his hands. His tone was hazy, and his expression was extremely pious.

Before Link could answer, he continued:

"This is my belief.

Mr. Grindelwald, my master, he is a very great man!

His voice, his ideals fascinated me.

I swore to always follow him, love him, do what he gave me, and never die!

This is because I believe that only he can make this world a better place, and only he can make wizards truly master the world!

Oh! my lord!

May your body always be healthy!

May your power endure forever!

May you..."

Listening to Beckman's intoxicated prayer, Link involuntarily took two steps back, and his eyes became cold at the same time.

Beckman's loyalty to Grindelwald far exceeded Link's expectations.

In a way, Beckman is the same kind of person as Barty Jr.

This is not good news for Link.

Because Grindelwald isn't dead yet.

Link was already prepared in his heart. As long as Beckman dared to say that he wanted him to help support Grindelwald's comeback, he would immediately turn around and return to his country.

After all, he inherited Beckman, the Grindelwald saint's family industry, and the International Federation of Wizards can turn a blind eye, but if he also inherits Beckman's 'saint' status and belief, then the international The Wizarding Association should probably hit him at all costs.

Therefore, even if you want to inherit the status of a 'saint', you should wait until Voldemort rises and reaches the peak.

After a long time, Beckman's long prayer was finally over.

He looked a little sad, and his eyes were even red. He faced Link and said in a hoarse voice:

"Link, do you know how brilliant we were in the past? Our countless brothers and sisters escorted Lord Grindelwald, we roamed the European countries, and the enemies were terrified wherever we went! We..."

"enough!"

Link interrupted, "Stop talking to me so much nonsense. I'm very interested in the Beckman family's property. Tell me, what exactly do you want me to do?"

Link's tone was cold, and his expression was even more indifferent, without the slightest emotion, as long as the trace of impatience in his eyes made people feel that he still had a touch of humanity.

Hearing that, the emotion on Beckman's face also quickly receded.

He and Link looked at each other for a long time before saying firmly:

"I want revenge!"

Link's heart was stunned for a moment, and he frowned and said:

"Don't you want me to attack the International Confederation of Wizards or the German Ministry of Magic? Oh, no. It seems that Dumbledore was the one who defeated Grindelwald. You want me to assassinate him?"

"You wouldn't do these things, even if I exchanged the entire Beckman family, right?" Beckman said calmly, "So what I said about revenge is for my former brothers and sisters."

"saint?"

"Ah, they were, but not anymore."

"Can I ask why?"

Hearing that, Beckman fell silent again, and this time it was much longer than before.

"The new ideal has not yet appeared, and the long-standing ideal has been put aside, sad people."

Beckman said very sentimentally, and at the same time reached out and moved the Grindelwald logo, and then a circular portal appeared in front of him.

"It's almost time, Link, are you interested in going to a banquet with me?" Beckman invited. "As for the more detailed things here, I'll talk to you on the way."

Link frowned deeply.

Beckman's mystical behavior annoyed him.

However, after pinching the magic scroll hidden in his cuff and possessing the power of Dumbledore's full blow, Link finally nodded and said:

"Okay, let's lead the way."

Beckman finally had a slight smile on his face when he heard the words, and grinned and got into the portal without saying a word.

...

"...You said earlier that Dumbledore defeated Lord Grindelwald. Well, I don't actually agree with that. The truth is that Lord Grindelwald was defeated by love. He was a close friend during the years, and Lord Grindelwald has never been involved in the country because of Dumbledore's sake. And you have seen it as a result. Dumbledore's perfidious despicable villain, he united with the International Federation of Wizards to use Lord Grindelwald's trust in him eventually forced Lord Grindelwald to imprison himself in the Nurmengard wizarding prison in Austria.

Oh! My poor Lord Grindelwald!

He is always so kind! do you know? He never killed a Muggle from start to finish! Even Lord Grindelwald couldn't bear to watch when we were clearing the Muggles we had to kill, and would be heartbroken afterwards..."

On a deep forest path, Beckman was talking to Link about the brothers and sisters who needed to be avenged by him.

But maybe it was because he was too religious to Grindelwald, or because he was washed by Grindelwald, Beckman always digressed to the past about Grindelwald.

Seeing that he strayed from the question again, Link coughed twice in dissatisfaction, and then woke Beckman, who was immersed in the past and unable to extricate himself.

"Oh! Sorry! Where did I say? Nurmengard, right?" Beckman smiled apologetically at Link, "Speaking of Nurmengard, that's really sad. This wizarding prison is actually a We set up to hold those who oppose it. Unexpectedly, it became Lord Grindelwald's cage. After Lord Grindelwald was stationed in Nurmengard Wizarding Prison, we saints were naturally confronted by international wizards. The reckoning of the Federation..."
