Chapter 557 The first hole card
Snape resisted the urge to leave and took the grilled fish, but his eyes were so scary.
"Is there anything to say to me, Severus?" Felix asked, and when he saw Snapemer remained silent, he understood. They came out of the auditorium and came to the middle of the courtyard, with a layer of white snow on the ground.
"I heard you and Bubaji discuss using magic to grow crops." Snapton paused, finishing his words without a trace of ups and downs: "I happen to have similar confusion."
Of course, he heard more than that, for example, there was a pen pal inside, who probably was the dangerous person Dumbledore said. Through Felix's description, Snape simply outlined the image of a closed, stubborn, unspeakable, and lonely wizard in his mind.
Such people are not uncommon in the magic world. But if Dumbledore is so afraid, he is probably a powerful person.
These thoughts flashed by, and Snape finished speaking, looking at Felix calmly.
Felix glanced at him, not surprised. He happened to want to pull a potion master in. Compared with Damocles Belby, who was far away in the sky, it was obviously more suitable for Severus, who was close to him.
Another alternative candidate is Slughorn, but this old man is afraid of heavy people and likes to enjoy it. It is not easy to convince him.
"For a long time, wizards have tended to be self-sufficient. Grow vegetables with magic? In their opinion, there is no difference between using magic to wash dishes and clean up the room. But if you change the angle, vegetables, fruits, and crops are all life, no one can explain clearly how magic plays a role in this process."
Snape listened silently, always thinking something was wrong, why did he really talk about growing vegetables?
"What wizards are used to is a fantasy in Muggles' eyes," Felix continued. "I think this is a good entry point."
"What entry point?" Snape asked keenly.
"From the perspective of a wizard, I finally got to the point of ending up going back to magic." Felix said: "This process requires understanding of both sides and there is no need to be mastered. Professor Bubaji's knowledge reserve is enough, so I introduced this topic to her."
Snape snorted from his nose and said indifferently: "It is indeed better than studying the essence of magic than overestimating one's own ability."
Felix did not respond, "As far as I know, no wizard has systematically studied the impact of magic on growing crops. In addition to the fact that there are indeed few people in the wizarding world, there is another biggest reason: pragmatism is prevalent among wizards."
This is also the conclusion that Felix came to examine the differences between wizards and non-wizards from a higher perspective.
The foundations of the two buildings, magic and technology, are completely different. The former is magic and mind, while the latter is based on reason and logic. For most wizards, although rational and logical reasoning abilities are useful, they are not necessary, at least they do not affect their casting.
Over time, this part of the knowledge is only reflected in specific disciplines.
"…Magic Planting? Magic Planting? If Professor Bubaji really can research some results, it might change the world."
"Change the world?" Snape couldn't help frowning, the word sounded dangerous.
"Ah, the wording is inappropriate," Felix smiled and took a bite of the grilled fish: "To be precise, save a strong trump card."
Snape remembered it silently, while secretly wondering where the card could be used. He subconsciously took a bite of the fish. The tender and delicious fish exploded in his mouth. Then a warm heat spread in his stomach, making the air in the courtyard even more cold and biting.
He heard Felix continue, "Professor Bubaji stands at the door of a completely new field, and I am happy to see it, and I am willing to provide some insignificant help."
"For example, which pen pal?" Snape asked on a risky note.
He felt that he was getting closer to the truth little by little. Dumbledore told him something was wrong. Dumbledore didn't intend to tell him who the person was, but it didn't prevent him from knowing from Felix. Snape thought insidiously.
He didn't expect that the progress would be so smooth, and Felix seemed to have no intention of hiding it.
Snape felt a wonderful sense of familiarity in his heart. When was the last time? Oh, he was pulled into the "Future World" company. He still had to take some time every month to make an enhanced version of the wolf poison potion and analyze the alchemy material formula...
The vigilance was instantly full.
Felix blinked and eavesdropped on a lot of things, Severus. He was like an experienced hunter waiting for his prey to take the bait and explained patiently: "It's not just him, but more people. At least I can think that magic planting should be named this for now. This subject may also require knowledge of spells and potions."
He? Is he a witch? Snape's heart moved. Then he understood why Felix revealed this information to him and used knowledge of potions... He felt like he was throwing himself into the trap.
"It seems like a big project, but I can't see any use." Snape said calmly, "I have only heard of stupid wizards, and never starved wizards."
"Open the way of thinking, Severus, there are not only wizards in this world."
Snape thought a little, and his calm heart suddenly stirred up ripples. His hands holding the grilled fish were trembling. He had to use brain closure to cover up his true emotions. After a while, he asked hoarsely: "Are you talking about those muggles? There is no limit to confidentiality laws unless it is."
His expression became unfathomable, but his heart felt cold.
Felix waved his hand, "I don't mean to challenge the secret law, so I said it's just a trump card," Snape felt a little relieved, but Felix's next sentence made him raise his heart to his throat, and his internal organs were about to jump out.
"After all, there is a lesson in the past," Felix said. "If I learn anything from it, it's that I can't go to extremes, because you are extremes, and those who support you will be even more extremes. Even if it affects 100,000 people, it's a bit insignificant." He handed Snape a meaningful look.
Snape instantly thought of a name Garrett Grindelwald. Is he the one whom Dumbledore is guarding against? The first Dark Lord? He couldn't wait to continue listening, even his breathing slowed down, carefully pondering every word Felix said.
"Stubbornness will lead to blind followers, but it will also distinguish you from your believers from normal people..." Felix said: "This happens often, right? Only 'you' is anxious and shouting loudly, but the bystanders don't agree. Instead, they feel strange and afraid of the way 'you' waving their arms, and subconsciously stay away from you."
"Then how did you solve this problem?" Snape asked, who had completely calmed down.
"There are Dumbledore and the Ministry of Magic in front!" Felix said irresponsibly, "At best, I just foresee some possible crises and make some preparations in advance. It is not illegal to open a company, and supporting the development of the magic world will not be attacked by groups..."
"Including pushing Bubaji to study the magic planting you mentioned? Do you think this can survive a certain crisis?" Snape asked clearly.
