Sebastian nearly spit out a mouthful of saltine soda.
Could you please have some AC knowledge in your mind?
Is this really Grindelwald?
What about your personal charm?
If it weren't for the smiling Dumbledore sitting next to him, Sebastian would never have been able to connect this little old man with the legendary first generation Dark Lord.
To be honest, before coming here, he had imagined countless meeting scenarios in his mind.
But he never expected that he would receive a childish comment just after saying hello.
However, despite all his complaints, Sebastian was still surprised by Grindelwald's strength.
There is not the slightest trace of soul-stealing.
What did this old man see?
It's amazing to be able to predict the future!
He smiled and asked calmly: "What did you see?"
Grindelwald glanced at Dumbledore, then looked at Sebastian with a half-smile.
"Some of your arrangements in the Muggle world."
"You want to break the Statute of Secrecy, don't you?"
Sebastian couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. As expected, a great reputation is a real one. Just by seeing a little bit of the layout, he determined that his goal was to break the "Statute of Secrecy".
Is this the rumored power that Grindelwald has to see into people's hearts?
Originally, he came here just to learn spells, but before he even started learning the spells, Grindelwald saw through his intention to break the Statute of Secrecy.
This was a bit troublesome, and Dumbledore's face darkened.
On the other hand, the old man Grindelwald was smiling all the time, as if he was enjoying the fun.
Sebastian calmed himself down and made up his mind to confront his opponent.
Now that Dumbledore already knows about it and there's no way to fool him, I might as well just speak frankly today to avoid having to explain it all over again later.
Moreover, breaking the "Secrecy Act" was also the wish of these two old men when they were young. If they could be persuaded and won over to their camp, the road ahead would be easier.
In the blink of an eye, Sebastian had prepared a plan in his mind. He took out a chair and sat down opposite the two of them.
"I thought you would support me in breaking the Statute of Secrecy."
"I just agree with your idea of breaking it. Otherwise, I would not bother to say a word to you, even if you came with Albus."
For a moment, a look of disdain appeared on Grindelwald's face.
"But, making a movie in the Muggle world?" He curled his lips in contempt, "You can think of such a childish method."
"Naive? Your method is not naive, but it failed."
"In my opinion, your proposal of letting wizards rule Muggles directly is really naive."
"Oh, really?" Grindelwald still had a faint smile on his face, as if he didn't take Sebastian's words to heart at all.
"Young man, please tell me. I want to know what makes your method so clever."
"As long as you can convince me, I can teach you my unique spell."
Seeing Grindelwald's look of contempt, Sebastian lost his reserve and completely let go.
You know, what he is best at is convincing people with reason.
When dealing with an elderly person who has lived alone for half a century, the only way to deal with him is to shut him up with irrefutable facts so that he can calm down and listen to others.
However, before Sebastian could say anything, Dumbledore could no longer sit still and hurriedly spoke up to interrupt the argument.
"Sebastian, tell me, are you serious about breaking the Statute of Secrecy?"
"You should know that the wizarding world, which has experienced two wars, is very fragile and can no longer withstand any major setbacks."
Seeing that Dumbledore looked heavy, Sebastian motioned him to be patient, then took out a square object.
"There is a classic Muggle saying, 'Know yourself and your enemy, and you will win every battle.'"
"I want to ask you two, have you really understood Muggles?"
Sebastian pointed to the items on the ground.
"What you see before you is a groundbreaking product invented by Muggles - the computer."
"Unfortunately, there is no electricity or internet here, so I can't show you how powerful it is."
Seeing this strange object, Grindelwald instantly became interested. He had come to Nurmengard since 1945.
To be honest, he really didn't understand what this strange item was used for.
"With computers and the Internet, a Muggle in the UK can contact a Muggle in the US in a matter of seconds."
"This kind of communication can be text, pictures, or even looking at the other person's face to communicate directly."
"Principal Dumbledore, you may not know that Harry's aunt has this item at home."
"What does this mean? It means that this kind of item has begun to enter the homes of thousands of ordinary Muggles."
"With him, people around the world can communicate freely without being restricted by distance and time."
After hearing Sebastian's introduction, Grindelwald's expression turned grim.
His prophetic powers were triggered, and he discovered that the young man was not bragging at all.
He saw many uses for computers. It was not just a communication tool, but Muggles could also use it to learn efficiently.
Suddenly, his pupils shrank and he saw the young man took out a black brick.
He recognized it; this black brick had appeared in his prophecy; it was also a tool that enabled Muggles to communicate efficiently.
Grindelwald felt a little heavy-hearted. He had no idea what the Muggle world had become like now.
Thinking about the magical world that still used owls to transmit messages, he felt worried.
Where is the way out for the wizarding world?
Looking at Sebastian who was talking so eloquently, he realized one thing.
Each generation has its own mission, and his era has passed.
Since this young man has the idea of breaking the Statute of Secrecy, it would be a good idea to listen to what his plans are.
Slowly, he calmed down and listened carefully to Sebastian's introduction.
Looking at the two old men who were listening to him attentively, Sebastian seemed to be back in the Muggle Studies class and became more and more confident.
He took out many photos again, enlarged them and told the two old people about them one by one.
"Are these items magical? Do they look more magical than magic?"
"Don't underestimate Muggles. Although they don't have magical powers, they have unique wisdom."
Sebastian smiled to himself.
"Honestly, if I take a walk around the streets of London, I will feel that the Muggle world has surpassed the wizarding world by a huge margin."
He straightened his face and looked at Dumbledore sincerely.
"Principal, I've been worried."
"According to the speed of technological development in the Muggle world, in less than 20 years, the sky will be filled with Muggle satellites."
"There will be billions and billions of cameras on their streets."
"Then the wizarding world will no longer be able to hide."
Sebastian changed the subject, his voice becoming more heated.
"Instead of passively waiting for the situation to deteriorate, it is better to take the initiative."
"Put the initiative in our own hands!"
