All along, Dumbledore has hoped that Hogwarts can accommodate more wizards from Muggle backgrounds, and he wishes that these young wizards can bring a subtle influence to the stale magical world after entering the magical realm. To complete the transformation in peace is his idea.
As Amelie said, there are some extremely persistent and highly corrosive things hidden in the air of the magical world. Most wizarding world children who want to survive will be assimilated by them.
Amortust clearly knows that Dumbledore's plan is destined to fail because he underestimates the potential of Muggles and also underestimates the speed of progress in the Muggle world.
With the "God's perspective," Amortust was well aware that by the 21st century, when Muggle society had fully entered the information age, the flexibility of magic would further be compressed. It might not take a hundred years before wizards would be crushed in all aspects by Muggles.
"--The《Wizard's Secret Law》 has been in effect for three hundred years, it is a strong cage. Everyone thinks that it is the Muggles who are imprisoned, but the reality is that the wizards are being held captive, while the Muggles society has shown incredible potential because it has not been interfered by the wizards--"
Watching Amelie listen attentively, Amortust said in a faint manner, "Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to elaborate on the details of our plan.
"I would stake my life on it, Amelie, that not just one but several Muggle governments are secretly researching weapons to counter magic using technology. If they ever succeed, have you ever been to a Muggle zoo? That will be our fate."
Animals in the zoo.
Amelie closed her eyes, imagination fades to a picture as described by Amortust, only to feel a shiver up her forehead, causing her to shiver with fright.
Amelia is a high-ranking official at the Ministry of Magic with a visionary perspective, not one of those mundane lower-level wizards in the magical world. She knows that Amortust is not just making idle threats.
"Change is inevitable --"
Amelie gently massaged her temples, wearily said.
"Someone has tried that before, but it failed."
Amortust's flat tone caused Amelie to jump, her brow furrowed and her expression turned grave.
"You mean"
"Voldemort publicly claims to be seeking to restore the glory of the pure-blood families, but anyone who has seen the turbulent twenty years and knows him well knows that what he desires is a completely chaotic magical world and Muggle society. He seeks autocracy, not change."
"Over!"
The teacup in front of Amelia suddenly overturned, spilling the tea mixed with tea leaves on the wooden table.
Amelia, her face pale, tried to pick up the teacup, but her trembling limbs were uncontrollable. Several attempts ended in shamefully failed.
As a female servant in a cheongsam uniform witnessed this scene, she quickly stepped over to pick up the spilled tea, but the gray-haired lady froze in place as the young man opposite her casually scanned her with his eyes.
"We can handle it ourselves --"
A rich, low-pitched voice came from behind, startling the lady, who quickly nodded in a hurry and looked away.
"You actually --"
Amortust gently tapped the table, and the tea that had spilled onto the surface and the stone floor quietly vanished. Amelie, who had finally recovered, did not scold Amortust for openly using magic in front of a Muggle. She patted her chest and stared at Amortust with disbelief. However, when she saw the calm expression and enigmatic eyes of the young man in front of her, she found herself unable to continue her original rebuke.
Amelie understood now. The exceptionally talented young wizard sitting in front of her, whose name will, no, is already – leave a profound impact on the history of magic.
This is a wizard as outstanding as Abhor, and such a wizard will not be frightened by the 'simple' Dark Lord.
Amortust didn't care about the huge waves caused by the words "Voldemort" in Amelia's heart. Noticing that her emotions had slightly stabilized, Amortust said casually,
"I mean the Gellert Grindelwald, who was earlier known as the Dark Lord, a wizard with foresight and unique vision. He predicted that if wizards continue to dwell in the glory of the Middle Ages, they will be forced into an impasse by Muggles sooner or later. Therefore, he wanted to take advantage of the fact that Muggles were still unable to resist and initiate a change."
"But he failed."
After a slight pause, Amelie said, "Dumbledore stopped him."
"Even if Dumbledore had not stopped him, he would have failed, because he took the wrong path."
Amortust critically criticized without mercy, "He was wrong in his approach."
"Step by step, step by step, the Muggles have been rapidly developing. It's not just because wizards favor tradition or they are too arrogant to change that they refuse to acknowledge the rapid development of Muggles. But because once the change begins, it will touch the interests of pure-blood wizard families."
For thousands of years, these traditional wizard families have been like towering giants in the magical world, dominating every aspect of the lives of ordinary wizards, controlling the Ministry of Magic, the media, and even Hogwarts. War was inevitable, but not a war like Grindelwald's against the Muggle world."
Amelie brought up this topic to subtly reveal her future governing objectives. She believed that young wizards like Amortust, who are extremely powerful and come from Muggle backgrounds, would be highly attracted to the word 'reform'. However, she didn't expect to be drawn into the idea herself by Amortust.
She listened intently and solemnly to Amortust's viewpoint, and when she heard the unfinished sentence at the end, a sense of heart palpitations surged up, and her expression turned ghastly.
She understood Amortust's meaning. In the current situation of the magical world, attempting to introduce significant reforms would certainly fail unless there was a war. An internal war would be needed to eliminate the pests within the magical world.
"It's difficult to achieve, Amortust, no one can."
Amelie said with difficulty,
"--With such determination, and, Albus will definitely stop."
Amortust stroked the rim of the teacup, a smile so enigmatic that it was hard to read.
"Yes, it's hard to do, but not impossible -- in the distant East, in that ancient land, there is a phrase: 'Not destroyed, not established; after destruction, there is a foundation for reconstruction'--"
Amortust gazed at the surprised and doubtful Amelie, with a slight curve in the corners of his mouth, a cold smile.
"Only patching up and building will not result in magnificent structures. Great civilizations are not invincible; they may fall, but they will rise from the ashes of ruin."
For a moment, Amelie Bones felt a strong urge to turn and leave.
Or perhaps risking death, pulling out a wand to arrest Amortyst Brewn, Amortyst Brewn, who was sitting opposite her as if she didn't realize the serious consequences of her words if they got out, will grow into the next generation of Dark Lord. He will be far more terrifying than the name itself! A Dark Lord that cannot be mentioned!
The Director of the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures was in a state of chaos, cold sweat dripping from her graying temples, forming a small puddle on her shoulders.
If in front of her was not Amortyst Brewn, who had single-handedly wiped out Greengrass and been hailed by numerous news media as the most powerful wizard of the contemporary era, beneath Albus Dumbledore, then perhaps Amelia would not have felt so tense. It is precisely because Amortyst is a highly skilled and rising young wizard that she is so wary. Because she is very clear that if Amortyst were to attempt to ignite an internal war within the magical community, he would definitely be able to do it!
"Don't worry, Amelia --"
Seeing Amelia with sweat running down and her expression constantly changing, Amortyst smiled slightly,
"Up until this moment, I have never had the intention to actively promote change in the magical world, as you said, Dumbledore would not support it, and the environment of the magical community does not allow it. But in the future, if there is a suitable opportunity, I would not mind stirring things up."
