Chapter 146: Ideology

Crossing the line?

Arthur felt that he was starting to understand.

Sure enough, Nicolas's next words confirmed his thoughts.

"In the Middle Ages and even before that, Muggles hated and despised wizards. When Muggles caught wizards, many of them were unable to escape the stake.

"But in the end, wizards still think they are better than Muggles and even think of them as a different species."

"And Herpo's experiment broke this rule completely by turning a wizard into a Muggle and a Muggle into a wizard, which went against the rules."

"Think about how a wizard born to Muggle parents would turn their family and friends into wizards in those chaotic times."

Arthur imagined for a moment and struggled to say, "Capture a wizard and perform a blood exchange."

Nicolas nodded, "Exactly. Someone really did do that. The head of a pure-blood family had a squib son, so he captured a wizard and swapped their blood."

"But when this incident was exposed, the whole pure-blood family met anger from the public and was eventually wiped out."

"Since then, the blood exchange ritual and its methods were destroyed. I came from that era, which is why I know so much. Even if you ask Albus, he might not know."

After hearing everything, Arthur nodded thoughtfully.

Indeed, those who benefited from the current order would suppress a secret art that could blur the difference between "wizards" and "Muggles."

It was understandable that he couldn't find any information about it.

Shaking his head with a hint of regret, Arthur realized that even though Nicolas gave him answers, they didn't suit his purpose.

What he wanted was a way for a lot of Muggles to change, not one.

Seeing Arthur's disappointment, Nicolas thought that the loss of this secret magic made him sad, and his expression changed.

"Arthur, the mysteries of magic go far beyond this. Don't let your curiosity lead you down the wrong path."

Arthur was taken aback but quickly understood the meaning behind Nicolas' words. He couldn't help but smile wryly.

"I'm not disappointed about the lost secret magic of blood exchange. It's just that I didn't get answers to some questions I had, which is a pity."

After saying this, Arthur paused for a moment before continuing, "What I want is to allow everyone to learn magic."

Nicolas' eyes widened suddenly, looking at Arthur with disbelief. He couldn't understand why Arthur had such an idea.

"As wizards, our population is too small, so we can only live in the corners of the world. And as Muggle technology improves, wizards will have fewer places to live."

"I don't want to wait until that day. So, I have an idea. What would happen if all people in the world were wizards and Muggle-made technology combined with magic? Would it lead to something new?"

Arthur explained his reasons to Nicolas. Although he didn't mention anything about the system's task, these were his real thoughts.

In Arthur's previous world, there were satellites in every part of the world.

Even though magic kept wizards safe, Muggles always ignored the places where wizards gathered.

But who could say for sure that Muggles wouldn't invent technology that could stop magic in the future?

If that day came, there would be a small number of wizards who would be unable to deal with billions of Muggles.

When that time comes, the best possible outcome for wizards would be death, and the worst possible outcome would be dissection at the table.

Arthur believed that since they could not eliminate the Muggles, becoming with them would be the best option. If everyone in the world became a wizard, the conflicts would be less intense.

After Arthur finished speaking, there was silence in the room. Nicolas was shocked by Arthur's ideas and worried about the future he described.

After a while, he sighed, "You remind me of someone who almost destroyed the entire Paris back then."

Arthur was taken aback.

Grindelwald?

Grindelwald had caused a lot of trouble in Paris by using the Protego Diabolica very well, but he failed in the end.

"He also wanted to change the world, but unlike you, he wanted to enslave Muggles and rule the world. However, Albus Dumbledore stopped him. I'm not sure if your path is correct, but Albus will definitely stop you."

Nicolas told of past events and expressed his concerns about Arthur's ideas.

"Since I've made my choice, no one can stop me, not even Dumbledore."

Arthur looked at Nicolas firmly. Even if Dumbledore didn't cause trouble for him, Arthur still wanted to find an opportunity to defeat him.

Ever since the task of becoming a God was assigned, he and Dumbledore were destined to become enemies.

Seeing Arthur's determined behavior, Nicolas felt helpless.

"Fine, I'm getting old and don't want to meddle in these matters anymore. But I can still offer you some help with alchemy and potion research. We can discuss it in the next few days."

In fact, by saying this, Nicolas had already made his choice. He wanted to see what kind of world Arthur imagined.

However, he was still concerned and added, "Your fight with Albus is about different ideas. It doesn't have to get dangerous."

That's right, Nicolas was worried about Dumbledore, not Arthur because the sharp Nicolas had long discovered how strong Arthur's strength was.

And during this meeting, Arthur gave him an even more dangerous impression than before, with a hint of sharpness in his aura.

It probably wouldn't be long before Arthur could beat Dumbledore.

Thinking of this, Nicolas couldn't help but admire Arthur's extraordinary talent.

In fact, it was because Arthur had just finished drawing Gacha yesterday that he hadn't had time to digest his soaring power.

He hurriedly went to Paris, and Nico realized that his aura was out in the open because of this.

Arthur smiled gratefully at Nico, and they moved on from that topic to talk about some personal stuff.
