LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 105 Do You Want To Know?
Solim knew a lot that others didn't, and Hermione learned that early on. What Solim said in the Slytherin lounge showed that he knew a lot more about the Chamber of Secrets than the rest, and what he said about mandrake potions reminded Hermione that if the school really wanted to cure Petrochemical students are easy to do, but the fact that the school has done nothing seems particularly suspicious. Combining the whole incident, especially the part related to Harry, and the incident with the Sorcerer's Stone last semester, and finally the diary that appeared strangely, Hermione has reason to believe that the school...or Dumbledore He was planning something again, and Solim obviously knew about it, so he said something that would not pose a threat to the lives of the students.
In the small classroom, Hermione just looked at Som, waiting for his reply.
Crack...crack...crack, Solim clapped his hands, looking at Hermione appreciatively.
"It's amazing, Hermione, it's really amazing." Solim looked around, and found that except for Sylna, Neville and Draco were all looking back and forth between himself and Hermione
"But that's just your guesswork."
"As you said, if the school really wanted to lift their petrification status, it would have been lifted long ago. If those petrified people saw something at that time...
"So, what do you want to know from me by saying these words?"
"All!" Hermione said grumpily. "What the hell is the school trying to do by 25? What the hell is going on with the Chamber of Secrets?"
"Tell me what you know, and I won't pursue your tricks on me."
"When did I fool you?"
"Potion Potion." Hermione gritted her teeth and said, "You figured it out a long time ago, didn't you?"
"I didn't expose you on the spot, and let you go. I didn't end up like those two. I think you should thank me." Solim said to Hermione with a smile
"But since you mentioned this, I really want to talk about you. You are too confident. You are so confident that you dare to use the compound decoction for the first time. You don't have to worry about the deformation of the compound decoction you prepared. Is there not enough time?"
"I followed the recipe exactly, and it turned out to be..."
"It's Professor Snape. If it wasn't for his help...according to what he said, the compound soup you prepared can only last for about 20 minutes. Is there anything else you want to say?"
Hermione really didn't expect Solim to say something like that, Snape? Help?
"Without Professor Snape helping you improve your Polyjuice Potion, you wouldn't even be able to get in the door to the Slytherin common room, you'd have to change back."
Solim added another sentence in his heart: "If I hadn't emphasized it to you, you must be sure that it is something on someone's body, and you are still lying in the school hospital right now.
"We...are being watched all the time?" Hermione bit her lip.
"You're incidental, mainly Potter. At this point, Solim looked at Draco, "Do you understand now? Why did I tell you not to mess with Potter, the headmaster and professors are watching what you do. "
Draco looked as ugly as if he'd seen Weasley hit the jackpot.
"This is Hogwarts - Albus Dumbledore's Hogwarts," Solim concluded. "There is nothing in this castle that is hidden from him—including the so-called Chamber of Secrets."
"Then what is it for this time again? The Philosopher's Stone has something to do with that person, and it trained Harry by the way. What about this time?" Hermione began to ask the bottom line.
"Exercising Potter, well, there is indeed this purpose, and the rest is not what you should know." Solim spread his hands and said, "Don't look at me like that, even if I know, I can't tell you."
"So you know?" Hermione insisted.
"True," Solim admitted graciously, but I don't think knowing too much would do you any good. Some things, the fewer people know the better. Sometimes, ignorance is a kind of happiness. "
"Nonsense!" Hermione obviously didn't buy it. Rather than saying that Hermione wanted to know the so-called truth, it might be better to say that Hermione was venting her dissatisfaction.
"Then let's talk about something unrelated." Solim smiled, "You guys, do you know what happened in 1945?"
Several people looked at each other in blank dismay, wondering what Solim was trying to do by suddenly asking such a question.
"Dumbledore defeated Grindelwald, ending the war." Hermione thought for a while and answered honestly.
"That's right, but I'm not asking about the wizarding world." Solim continued: "In 1945, the United States tested the world's first atomic bomb. In the same year, two atomic bombs were dropped on Nagasaki and Hiroshima in Japan, causing Numerous casualties."
Except for Hermione, the others were all dumbfounded, they didn't know what an atomic bomb was. Solim didn't explain to them either, he was mostly talking to Hermione.
"What are you trying to say?" Hermione asked.
Before Japan was bombed, that is, after the United States tested the first atomic bomb, within a very short period of time, wizard organizations all over the world knew that the Muggles had created an extremely powerful weapon, which was more powerful than wizards. Magic is more powerful weapon.
Is this okay? The wizards hurriedly held a worldwide conference of wizards in panic. European, African, American. The powerful wizarding powers of Asia are meeting hastily to discuss how to deal with a new and powerful threat from Muggle society. But it hasn't waited for these wizards to come to a conclusion. In the same year, the casualties caused by the two atomic bombs dropped by the United States on Japan shocked the wizards.
What kind of magic can have such power and cause hundreds of thousands of casualties? Under the unprecedented threat, the wizards put aside their past grievances and entanglements of interests
Quickly came up with a solution.
The International Federation of Wizards has established a new department - the Muggle Military Forces Supervision and Management Committee. They sent out capable wizards, used magic to break into Muggles, and began to use Muggles' military power-mainly nuclear weapons. At the beginning, there were only places where nuclear weapons were stored, but later, space-based nuclear weapons, road-based nuclear weapons, and sea-based nuclear curtains appeared one after another. It can be said that as long as there are nuclear warheads, there are wizards.
The worst thing was the wizards who were sent to the nuclear submarines. They didn’t eat well and had little space. If something happened and the submarine sank, nothing could guarantee the wizards’ lives except the port keys.
"Maybe you will ask me. Since nuclear weapons are such a huge threat to wizards, and wizards have also penetrated into Muggles, why not destroy those nuclear weapons and just use Imperius or Obedience to control their leaders. Is it easy to do?” Solim said regretfully: “Wizards are human beings, and as human beings, political
It stands to reason that wizards should get rid of nuclear weapons that pose such a huge threat to wizard society, but those wizards who hold power have not done so. On the contrary, for a period of time, the Muggles detonated their nuclear weapons crazily, each time becoming more powerful. Why?
"This world is not as simple as you think. There are many extremely powerful magical creatures in this world. Although most people don't know it, it doesn't mean that they don't exist. There are also some magical seals left long, long ago. , so long that there is no record of what 397 was sealed inside. Once the things inside the seal escape, it is very likely to cause heavy casualties, just like the Hadmore incident."
"What event?" Hermione had never heard or seen the term.
"Maybe you don't know about the Hedmore incident, but you should understand the Black Death." Solim looked at Hermione.
"But . . . Wasn't that caused by the plague?"
"Hadmoor untied the seal, the things in the seal ran out, and then one-third of the people in Europe died. This is the result. The same incident and the 'Chavez incident' in London in 1952 are said to be Respiratory diseases caused by poisonous mist, but in fact a 'fog demon' escaped from the seal, someone raided the location of the seal and released the mist demon, causing all the wizards guarding the seal to die." Solim said Said expressionlessly. The "Empty Elixir" given to Solim by Gilvez is a potion invented by studying the body structure of the Fog Demon.
After Schuyler graduated, many wizards would be assigned to guard the seal, which was also an important reason why Solim wanted to leave Skuller.
"Do you understand now? Wizards keep Muggle nuclear weapons to deal with monsters that may escape from the seal. Muggles have conducted so many nuclear tests, some of which are real tests, but some are for the purpose of destroying Some monsters in the seal."
"Now I have told you some truths about the world, truths that most people will never know in their lifetime." Solim said: "But what is the use of knowing this? What can you do? You are nothing Can't do both."
Solim paused: "So, Hermione, it's unnecessary to know too much about some things, and I'll let you know when it's time for you to know.".
