This Hogwarts isn't normal.

Donating money to the governments of various magic countries is actually paying protection fees.

Although there is no inheritance tax in the magic world, no one can guarantee that they will not be tempted.

Nico is spending money to buy the minimum peace.

When seeing off Fudge and Russell, Vincent had already secretly decided to get the money back.

No matter how long it takes, he must get the principal and interest.

When almost everyone left, the president of the International Alchemy Association came alone.

He was an Egyptian wearing a loose black robe.

"Hello, Mr. Wayne."

Vincent shook hands with him, "Hello, President Khafra."

Khafra seemed very enthusiastic, "I wonder if Mr. Wayne is interested in joining our International Alchemy Association?"

Coming here at this time, he probably wants Nicolas Flamel's manuscript.

After all, in the eyes of most people, children are very easy to deal with.

Unfortunately, he found the wrong target.

"President Khafra, I'm still in school."

Vincent looked at Dumbledore in the distance, "And I haven't reached the threshold for joining yet, right?"

"You are too modest." Khafra looked at the suitcase he was holding, "Mr. Flamel was our honorary chairman when he was alive, you can become an honorary member first."

He really came to get the manuscript!

According to Nico, he was told by an angel in a dream that he would get a magical book, which would give him extraordinary and amazing power.

Later, he exchanged 2 florins for this ancient and huge book, "The Jewish Book of Abraham".

It is not made of paper or sheepskin like other books, but of delicate and smooth young bark.

The cover is tightly wrapped in brass, engraved with text and strange symbols.

It is thick, but there are only 21 pages inside.

The text and illustrations in the book are not written, but pressed with metal, and colored in the depressions.

The original text is a mixture of Latin, Arabic, Chaldean and ancient Syriac.

Nico spent 21 years collecting information, and finally was able to decipher it with the help of a Hebrew scholar.

He summarized and organized the entire 21 pages of content and finally wrote a manuscript.

Vincent had never read the book, but he had the manuscript.

"I have to think about it seriously, President Khafra."

No matter how hard the other party talked, he remained ambiguous.

Nico was unwilling to share it "during his lifetime" because once some knowledge fell into the hands of bad people, it would bring endless troubles to the world.

Of course, those that can be shared must wait until he has learned it before considering it.

Khafra talked until all the "witnesses" left, and then forced a badge into his hand.

"Mr. Wayne, I will wait patiently for your reply.

He left, leaving without any loss or regret.

Vincent looked down at the badge in his hand.

It is made of mountain copper, with three delicate IAA letters engraved on the surface.

Dumbledore came over and took a look, "It has a notification function. Khafra gave you this probably because of the International Alchemy Exchange Conference next year."

"Can I not go?" Vincent knew that the other party had bad intentions.

"I suggest you better participate." Dumbledore took out a more delicate badge from his pocket, "Although the association has declined, it is still very influential internationally."

"I will go." Vincent pretended not to understand the hint in the words, "Professor, are we going back?"

Dumbledore shook his head gently, "No, we have to go somewhere else."

"Where?"

"Nico's home. "

Under Fawkes's sweet voice, the entire platform was wrapped in red flames.

Half a year later, the whole building has a stronger cyber flavor.

Those transparent glass before have all been replaced with alchemical items similar to monitors.

Newt and the others seemed to be used to it, and directly pushed open the door on the first floor and walked in.

The interior of the elevator has also changed, becoming more spacious and bright.

The corridor is also different, with many mechanical structures of unknown purpose.

On the top floor, Nico and Perenelle are both there.

They are all very satisfied with their funerals, and they also gave Dumbledore's Transfiguration a very high evaluation.

"Teacher, did you see everything just now?" Vincent suddenly remembered the stone platform floating on the sea.

"It is an alchemical item that can be monitored."

Nico pointed to a small stone under the big screen, "They are all paired, so through the reflection of the platform, I can see the whole process of the 'funeral'. "

Vincent's expression suddenly became strange.

People are standing on it, so the reflected images...

"I blocked most of the images." Nico understood his expression, "For this reason, I also specially created a set of the most complex magic circuits at present."

Like the original circuit board, this alchemical item that can render images without blind spots is very large.

Of course, the cost is also extremely high.

Nico opened a half-person-high device shell, revealing the dense magic circuits inside.

Everyone gasped.

If the large platform is broken, it can monitor the entire world.

Whether it is for civilian or military use, this is a strategically significant alchemical item.

"There are already many Muggle satellites in the sky." Nico installed the shell, "If technology continues to advance, it will be of great use."

Everyone fell silent.

Vincent knows what the future world will be like.

The development of the Internet is so fast that it only takes the blink of an eye to transmit images and videos.

Wizards would act differently as they do now.

Once discovered, the world will know of their existence.

How to determine who has watched the video and how to determine his location are all problems that future wizards must face.

Nico gave the answer in advance as if he had foreseen it.

Grindelwald may be right, because the Statute of Secrecy is bound to be broken sooner or later.

The difference is just active breaking or passive breaking.

Vincent found that Dumbledore's expression was very complicated.

Perhaps because he had foreseen something, he could clearly see the regret and regret on the other person's face.

The unchanging magical world is destined to change, and it is also divided into two options: active and passive.

Nico came to Dumbledore and said, "Albus, I'm going to give it to you."

Dumbledore seemed to have made up his mind, "No, I am not qualified."

His eyes swept over Newt and Jacob, then past Tina and Queenie, and finally stopped at Vincent.

"I am old and have become accustomed to a stable life."

Vincent, who was watched by seven pairs of eyes, felt no joy in his heart and even felt very depressed.

Old age might be one of the reasons, but he knew it wasn't the real reason.

"Teacher, I'm not interested in this."

Before he understood what Dumbledore was trying to escape, he would not take the initiative to resist this banner.

Even if Nico gives the thing to him now.
