Volume 8: In this Hogwarts without the Dark Lord Chapter 521 Why can’t we use the power of Muggles?
The North Sea, an area of sea rarely visited by Muggles due to the existence of certain magic.
A simple sailboat was moving forward in the rough waves. Jon stood steadily on the boat, his body motionless.
In fact, it would undoubtedly be more convenient for him to directly transform into a phoenix, or simply use the levitation spell to fly over. However, due to the blockade by Sir Stoke, the sea area that Muggles cannot set foot on is actually not very large. If he just flies directly over the open sea, it will be too easy for him to be discovered by Muggles sailing on the sea.
In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Jon simply used Transfiguration to create a sailboat. Even if it was seen like this, it was still a little shocking, but it was not considered a supernatural phenomenon.
Soon, Jon could sense that there were more creatures around the ocean that normal people shouldn't see.
Some curious fishmen have already poked half of their heads , quietly looking at this boy who is obviously not a normal person.
Not long after, Jon saw his destination in the distance, the towering tower connecting the sea and the sky.
He drove the boat straight to the steps in front of the tower. The door light in front of the closed door was shaking constantly in the sea breeze. Jon stood on tiptoe and knocked on the lampshade to wake up the door light guarding the door.
"Ha! How long have I been sleeping? There are guests coming to visit!"
You could feel the excitement of the door light just by listening to the sound. It was shaking by itself and looking at Jon. When it saw his face clearly, its tone couldn't help but become disappointed.
"Why is it a child? Did you fall into the water and drift here? Do you need help? Are you surprised to see a talking lamp?"
Jon drew out his wand, revealing his identity as a wizard.
"Please inform me that I am Jon Green, a visiting professor of astronomy at Hogwarts who happens to be passing by here. I would like to visit the owner of this tower."
Although it saw the wand in Jon's hand, the door light still looked at his young face suspiciously, but in the end it didn't say anything more and disappeared from the door with a "whoosh".
Jon stood in front of the door and waited, keeping his eyes on his feet.
In this world, there are no rockets under the tower.
He didn't have to wait long, and soon the door was opened from the inside, and the old house-elf Labill looked at Jon.
He had obviously gotten a description of Jon from the door light, but he was still a little surprised when he saw his extremely young face.
"Are you the astronomy professor at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry?"
Jon smiled.
"It's impossible for a normal eight-year-old boy to come to a place like this , even in the wizarding world, right? Don't be surprised by my appearance. I have something to prove my identity. Now I just want to visit the owner of this tower."
Rabil looked Jon up and down again, and indeed felt that he was extraordinary from his conversation and his ability to come to this place alone.
So he bowed and invited Jon into the tower.
This place looks exactly the same as when Jon came here in another world.
They walked up the stairs, letting the steps move on their own. From time to time, there were some black civet cats around, and they arrived outside Sir Stoke's study.
Jon saw the old gentleman sitting on the sofa with a book in his hand. He looked exactly the same as the last time Jon saw him.
The life span of wizards is generally much longer than that of Muggles. Sir Stoker looks to be only in his sixties or seventies at most, but in fact he is already over a hundred years old.
As Jon looked at him, he heard the noise of Labill and his men coming, and Sir Stoke's gaze turned to him.
He was visibly surprised to see Jon's appearance.
"Although I have never studied at Hogwarts, I don't think even that school would hire a child as a professor, right?"
Jon shrugged. He had already sat down opposite Sir Stoker, and then he took out a letter of appointment from his pocket. He had specially asked Dumbledore to sign it when he graduated from Hogwarts, and the position was specifically determined to be astronomy.
"There are always things like this in the magic world that make us different from who we were originally, right?" Jon deliberately made his words vague. "It's just the sequelae of a failed experiment. I believe that people who can live in a tower like this are not people who judge people by their appearance, right?"
This explanation is reasonable, and Sir Stocker did not care much about his appearance, but was very interested in his identity as a visiting professor of astronomy.
Soon they opened up the topic and started chatting.
Jon just found an excuse for himself that he happened to pass by, but neither Sir Stoker nor he himself was actually focused on this.
This old man who has lived here alone for decades is only interested in astronomy, and Jon came here for this very reason.
Soon Jon began to take the initiative to lead the conversation.
"Regarding the sky above our heads, it's not just wizards who have studied it. Muggles have studied it much more deeply than we do."
Hearing his words, Sir Stock's eyes became surprised, and he asked tentatively.
"Muggles? Do you know anything about Muggles, or do you think they invented a vehicle that can fly in the sky and a telescope that can see more clearly, and that they know the sky by these two things?"
Jon shook his head.
"Not only that, as early as forty years ago, Muggles had already flown out of the planet we live on and reached space. Some Muggles have even been to the moon."
Sir Stoke's eyes became even more surprised, and the look he gave Jon changed from admiration to eagerness.
"There are actually wizards in the magical world who understand this!"
He sighed.
"I have also paid attention to these things. I have always felt that wizards are too complacent. The Statute of Secrecy can block Muggles' knowledge of us, but it cannot make us turn a blind eye to the existence and progress of Muggles. They have already successfully reached the starry sky, which is far beyond the wizards' understanding of the sky."
At this point, his voice couldn't help but become a little dim.
"I have been studying for this purpose over the years. Astronomy should not stop astronomers on land. If they only look up, they will never be able to truly understand the starry sky."
Jon listened to his sigh quietly, then suddenly interrupted and said.
"Then why can't we rely on the power of Muggles? Since they are already ahead of us."
