Chapter 123 In the presence of wizards, Muggles have no secrets.
After getting off the plane, without even leaving the airport, Irving saw a man in a suit standing in front of a luxury car, looking like a real estate agent. When he saw Irving, the man smiled and waved at him.
Irving wasn't surprised by their power at all. He plopped down in the luxury car and drove from the airport to the S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters. Looking at the unassuming building, Coulson noticed that Irving's expression remained calm. Just as he was about to introduce it, Irving suddenly laughed and said, "This place is quite interesting. Didn't I tell you last time that guns are useless against me?"
Coulson was taken aback at first, then suddenly recalled the defenses at headquarters, and his face immediately fell. But Irving didn't give him a chance to speak, and just walked in first, entered the password in front of Coulson, and then the elevator started moving.
"Don't be surprised, Mr. Coulson. Muggles—no, in your America, Muggles should be called Muggles—have no secrets from wizards."
Coulson sighed. He didn't want to talk anymore, because he didn't know what to say.
And so, he followed Owen all the way to the director's office, pushed open the door, and saw a shiny black, one-eyed bald head.
Irving sat down naturally opposite Nick Fury, staring at his bald head, and said, "Did you put some oil on your head?"
Nick Fury had thought of many opening lines, but he never expected this one. Just as he was about to speak, Owen raised his hand and said to him, "I have no interest in your Avengers plan, but if aliens really invade, I can lend a hand. But please remember, I'm only targeting aliens. As for the other ideas in your head, don't use them on wizards, because you don't have the ability to do so."
Black Egg frowned, about to say something, when Owen waved his hand again: "Wizards are a very simple group. They respect strength. If you are strong, you can gain the support of most wizards. But this strength is not power, but personal strength. Someone like you, trying to control the wizarding world through me, to put it bluntly, any student in my school could make you die a very unnatural death. So, please put away your dangerous thoughts."
How are we supposed to continue this conversation?
The feeling of being seen through at a glance, with everything stuck in your throat and unable to be said, is just so frustrating!
But what truly alarmed Nick Fury was Owen's ability to see into the deepest secrets of his mind—an ability that even the Ancient One didn't possess.
"Since you've brought up the Ancient One, then we can talk about this beforehand. Kamar-Taj violated some of the wizarding world's agreements. After I leave here, I'll go find the Ancient One and discuss this matter. As for how to contact me—"
Irving took out a mirror and placed it on the table: "If aliens come, smash it and I'll know. If nothing else, don't contact me."
After he finished speaking, he just sat there and suddenly disappeared.
Muggles' technology and weapons are indeed advanced and very lethal, but they are still somewhat lacking when it comes to targeting wizards. As long as wizards don't try to confront Muggles head-on, the Muggles are not guaranteed to win. At least Owen has countless ways to deal with them.
So he looked down on Nick Fury, but there was no need to offend him to the death. Besides, Irving was indeed very interested in aliens.
Almost all the dark magic creatures on Earth have been found and documented. So what kind of creatures are aliens? And how do they differ from dark magic creatures?
If Hogwarts could obtain some biological samples from aliens, it would have a completely new research topic. If it could figure out the truth behind the research, then Hogwarts' status in the wizarding world would surely be elevated.
What Owen wanted was never to be number one; he wanted to be number one by a wide margin, to make Hogwarts transcend any ranking in the future and stand forever at the top of the wizarding world!
This is a long-term goal, and he still needs to work harder and harder.
Although they were not the same magical system, the fluctuations in magical power could not be concealed. Owen easily found the temple in New York. Before entering, Owen's casual clothes were transformed into a formal black and gold-patterned magic robe. He identified himself to the temple guards, then stepped through the halo and arrived at Kamar-Taj in one step.
It must be said that this teleportation ability is indeed much stronger than Apparition. At least for teleportation over such long distances, Apparition cannot do it. The sling rings of Kamar-Taj are not much different from wands, except that the magic system here is not produced by itself, but borrowed.
That's why Kamar-Taj has never been recognized by the wizarding world.
But since there was already a system in place here and neither side had any animosity, they hastily came up with an agreement, kept it confidential from each other, and then there was little contact between them.
Anyway, over the years, if the old wizard hadn't written down the list, Owen really wouldn't have known that such a place existed.
However, when Coulson arrived at Hogwarts with the golden egg, the agreement was broken. So when Owen arrived, he had already informed the International Wizarding Union. The old wizards, representing the union, conveyed the opinion that he should go and talk to the Ancient One. If she had already denied the contents of the agreement, then the wizarding world would have a way to deal with it.
No one thought the exchange would be dangerous, but Irving had to be well prepared, which is why he didn't set off immediately.
"Irving Carrot"
"The Ancient One"
Owen nodded, took the golden egg from his pocket, and placed it in front of the other person: "Ancient One, your actions violate the agreement from back then. I am here on behalf of the International Wizarding Federation to ask you whether you still acknowledge the validity of that agreement?"
Gu Yi glanced at the golden egg, her eyes flashing. She quickly understood the whole story. Although she hadn't made it, the golden egg was indeed a product of Kamar-Taj, and she couldn't explain it.
"I admit it, but this time it was indeed our fault, so—"
The Ancient One took out a sling ring and a book with only a few pages, saying, "As compensation, this is our Kamar-Taj teleportation magic. Although our power systems are different, I believe in you, Mr. Owen, that you should be able to research new magic using these. This is my sincerity."
Chatting with smart people is actually quite boring. In just a few words, everything that needs to be said is said, and both sides' attitudes are clear. Owen also knows that this incident must have been caused by the people in Kamar-Taj. If he were to pursue it any further, it would be a loss of composure.
The old wizards are extremely conservative. The International Wizarding Federation is full of old men and women. What they value most is not power and wealth, but face.
With these two items as compensation, Gu Yi has given us plenty of face.
Just as Owen was about to leave, the Ancient One suddenly smiled and said, "Mr. Owen, I've heard of your name. If you don't mind, I'd like to test whether you are as legendary as they say."
We still have to take action.
Owen chuckled, "It was impolite of me to let the Ancient One bring it up first. How about—now?"
"please!"
Owen put away the ring and books on the table, and then followed the Ancient One to the training ground. Because they were going to fight, the training ground had been cleared out, but there were people standing all around.
Unlike the wizarding world, which values talent, Kamar-Taj recruits people based on fate.
The Ancient One immediately unleashed her ultimate attack, attempting to pull Owen into her illusionary space. However, Owen's magic suddenly erupted, unleashing wave after wave of invisible force that actually blocked the Ancient One's attack. He was not pulled into the illusion, nor did he need to use his wand. He immediately used Divine Shield and followed up with Polymorph.
It looks lively, but it's all a waste of effort.
Without getting serious, the Ancient One couldn't do anything to Owen, and Owen had no way to deal with the Ancient One, who was hiding herself in another dimension.
So after fighting for less than five minutes, the two stopped at the same time. After saying goodbye, Owen was sent back to England by the portal. After the portal closed, Owen turned around and arrived at the entrance of the Ministry of Magic. He found the old wizard in the office and told him everything that had happened that day.
An old house where a treasure.
The trust between Owen and the old wizard was extraordinary, and he did need the old wizard's insights to confirm whether he had gone astray on his path.
After listening, the old wizard fell silent. There was simply too much information to take in—especially the part about aliens, which left him wide-eyed.
Having lived for over a hundred years, spending the first half of his life battling with old friends and the second half battling with students, he has never actually seen an alien: "Darling, if you manage to catch one—remember to let me know, I'd like to meet one too."
As for the part with the Ancient One, the old wizard had no objections. Owen had done enough in that regard. And this young wizard, since he brought him back to Hogwarts from the Ministry of Magic, seven years have passed. The cute yet mature little guy from seven years ago has grown into a young man who can put people at ease.
Actually, whether the Ministry of Magic has a minister or not doesn't make much difference. With everyone performing their duties, there's nothing that requires the minister to make decisions.
The old wizard only came here to keep everyone calm. Usually, no one bothered him, and once the time was up, he could go home and go wherever he wanted. This was much freer than being the headmaster at Hogwarts.
Irving returned to school, looked at the sling ring, and read the concept of the portal. He knew then that it was impossible to learn this method of teleportation.
Even Merlin didn't delve too deeply into the power of space, let alone this multi-layered spatial folding technique. If one simply used magic to try and replicate it one-to-one, that would be a pipe dream.
However, it's not without research value. Multi-layered folding is impossible; magic can't skip several or more spatial nodes through folding. Magic can only do point-to-point, but it can't do folding, yet it can achieve instantaneous teleportation.
Irving can now use Apparition without thinking, so he can definitely try this experiment.
It doesn't need to be too far, just from Hogwarts to Vargadu.
During the holidays, students can rest, and professors can also rest. Most of them choose to stay on campus because their treatment remains unchanged even during holidays. Their food and accommodation are excellent. Of course, there are also some who genuinely have nowhere to go.
These people are the old devil's followers, now his followers. And these people aren't just sitting in the school doing nothing; they've gathered together to study how to strengthen Hogwarts' security.
In their eyes, the eerie and terrifying Forbidden Forest was Hogwarts' biggest defensive loophole. Poachers would sneak into the Forbidden Forest from time to time, which they considered a joke!
Therefore, a rearrangement is necessary!
Even the usually mild-mannered Hagrid was pulled over, since no one knew the Forbidden Forest better than him, without disturbing Owen.
No one would refuse such kindness, and Irving was no exception. He studied and took notes as he went, and the distance and speed of his Apparitions increased.
It wasn't until just before the start of the semester that he finally grasped the basics of the technique, and then he copied his notes and handed them over to the professors.
In Owen's eyes, there is no such thing as a unique skill in magic, because there is no need for it at all. Countless spells have disappeared since the time of Merlin. It's not that wizards like to keep secrets, but that the living environment does not allow it. Now that we have finally caught up with a peaceful era, if we do not vigorously develop magic but instead engage in the practice of keeping secrets, how can the magical world continue to develop?
More than 80% of the curses that wizards now consider evil are like jokes to Owen. If Merlin were to be reborn, he would be furious to death again.
Modern wizards are only as bold as a pinhead!
Read, learn, record, organize, and then improve.
This is what Owen is currently doing: after he teaches the professors the newly improved spells, the professors teach them to the students, and then the students gradually spread them.
Some students might not be able to keep up, but they weren't without a way to learn. After compiling the notes, Owen would have them printed, and thus, the Owen Notes became a series. After the History of Magic, there were gradually more series, such as Spells, Transfiguration, Potions, and so on.
These can all be purchased at bookstores.
