Hogwarts, a Scholar Becomes a God

"Yes, then in 1689, why did the wizards at that time sign such a strict "International Statute of Secrecy"? Why not sooner or later, but at this time?"

Clarke's words left Hermione in deep thought.

To be honest, she is not the kind of nerd who only immerses herself in learning book knowledge. On the contrary, she also has a good talent in logical reasoning.

But on the other hand, she also has women's natural deficiencies in military affairs, history and politics. Even if she didn't doze off in the history of magic courses, she just memorized a bunch of years and events .

"In 1699, the Austrian Empire acquired most of the land in Eastern European countries including Hungary and Romania. In the same year, Austrian wizards also occupied and divided up the local dragon farms, establishing the earliest dragon raising families.

Then, in 1709, at the International Conference of Wizards, under the impetus of caring people, a bill prohibiting private dragon breeding was passed. "

"You taste, you taste carefully."

Clark looked at Hermione playfully, the clever little witch frowned, thought for a while, and finally gave up.

"What is this for? Is it for the benefit of those raising dragon families?"

Facing Hermione's confusion, Clark looked out the window. The early summer sunset was as red as fire, igniting all the mountains, rivers and trees. And his eyes are empty, as if penetrating the long river of time, using history as a mirror to observe its rise and fall.

"Yes, and no. We always think that wizards and Muggles are two completely separate worlds, but as long as they are on this planet, as long as they are beings with desires, how can they not affect or interfere with each other?"

Clark's voice was ethereal and hollow, as if it came from a very distant place.

"Some things, you don't know, but it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. It's just that before the signing of the "Secrecy Act", wizards interfered in the Muggle world with simple and crude methods; after that, their methods became more covert and It's just complicated."

"But you said before that wizards are emotional, and magic makes them unable to understand the rational thinking of Muggles..."

Clark reached out and stopped Hermione from interrupting.

"Since the Renaissance in the 14th century, the Holy See has undergone religious reforms and its sphere of influence has shrunk. The ancient gods of the golden age such as Zoroastrianism, Greece, Egypt, Nordic, and Maya ushered in the twilight of the gods.

The wizards at that time entered the most active period in history, and the extraordinary power of the Silver Age, such as witchcraft, magic, shaman, knight, and druid, burst out with the greatest vitality.

They began to extensively participate in the wars among European countries, and supported agents one by one. What they did was some extraordinary materials and secret realms that still existed in the Muggle world at that time, handed down from the golden age.

Among them, the "Fire Dragon Land" located in the Romanian Carpathian Mountains is such a hidden place. "

"Secret Realm? Land of Fire Dragons?" Hermione asked curiously. This was the first time she heard such a statement. There was no such content in the Hogwarts library.

"That's right, that's some secret knowledge that has never been passed on to the outside world. Only some older families and forces have records." Clark nodded.

"The secret realm is a special natural environment. It is said that after the fall of those god-level powerhouses in the golden age, the fallen corpses affected the surrounding environment, thus forming a special different space with various magical effects.

There are even many magical creatures that can survive and reproduce only in secret realms. "

"However, the wars and internal conflicts that have lasted for centuries have also made wizards miserable, and many extraordinary powers were even on the verge of being lost.

Coupled with the rapid development of science, Muggles are more rational, and wizards cannot understand this new system, resulting in a greater split between the two sides, and the Silver Age has entered the end.

When all the cakes in the extraordinary world were divided, wizards took the dominant position, and those with vested interests sat together again, signed the "International Statute of Secrecy", arranged magic circles for the secret realm, and took the initiative to withdraw from the Muggle world. Hidden, and eliminated their traces in history.

The extraordinary world has officially entered the hidden bronze age. "

The battle of the gods in the Golden Age, the extraordinary rise of the Silver Age, the secrecy of wizards in the Bronze Age, the historical picture was torn apart by Clark, and Hermione suddenly discovered that the history of modern magic he told was as good as Professor Bibbins But also lively and interesting.

It was as if she really followed Clark's words, traveled through the long river of time, and glanced at the magnificent and extraordinary epic of that year.

"So... the signing of the "International Statute of Secrecy" is actually an obstacle set up by the wizards who have already taken the dominant position to stop the newcomers?" Hermione was a little uncertain about her guess.

"Then what about Romania? Since they have signed the "International Statute of Secrecy" and are supported by wizards from all over the world, why did the wizards of the Austrian Empire forcefully occupy the Fire Dragon Secret Realm in Eastern Europe despite the restrictions of the Secrecy Act?"

Hermione asked again, "Aren't they afraid that other countries will intervene?"

Clark's mouth was a little dry, so he snapped his fingers, and the teacup that had already bottomed out was immediately filled with ice-cold lemon black tea. He took a sip of the tea from the cup and moistened his throat.

"Do you think that the International Statute of Secrecy was not the intervention of the wizards of the Austrian Empire? There are many intrigues and political struggles involved in this matter. If you want to understand the deeper logic behind this, the first thing you need to understand is a concept."

He reached out and clicked on the book "Raising Dragons for Recreation and Profit" that was on the table.

"Giant dragons are a very important and sustainable regenerating extraordinary resource for wizards in today's magic world. This is very precious in the hidden bronze age, and it cannot be replaced for the time being."

There was a bloody breath in Clark's words, which made Hermione shudder a little. However, this may be the norm in the wizarding world.

"Just like the Muggle world, which does not hesitate to break out of war for oil, dragons are the oil of the wizarding world!"

"Oil crisis? The Gulf War?" Hermione suddenly interjected as if thinking of something.

Clark was taken aback, and looked at her curiously, "You still care about this?"

Hermione showed an embarrassed look on her face, "No, it's my dad. He used to speculate in oil futures and often said this at home, so I understand a little bit."

Clark nodded knowingly, "That's right, it can be compared in this way. The Austrian-Turkish war waged by the Austrian wizards for the Fire Dragon Secret Realm is the oil war in the magic world."

"As for the fire dragon, which is an important material lifeblood of the wizarding world, other Western European countries will naturally not stand idly by, that's why the "Secrecy Act" was signed.

In fact, you can guess with a little bit of brainstorming. How troublesome and annoying this secrecy law was to the Austrian Empire, which was in urgent need of wizards as extraordinary power at that time. The wizards in those countries in Western Europe were just stumbling them. "
