Chapter 96 Do You Want to Change the World with Me?
Jiang Li was correcting the alchemy papers submitted by his students, and the smile on his face disappeared instantly.
There were very few people who wrote seriously about alchemy, and some people even wrote stories and drew pictures in their papers.
She wrote down the grades as "P" with a cold face. It was a mental torture to read the students' homework.
I wonder if it’s too late to resign now?
Jiang Li missed the ease of teaching the Defense Against the Dark Arts class last year.
Voldemort cursed the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, so why not just change the name to Attack Against the White Arts class? Why change the class?
"Professor Malfoy, what's wrong with you?"
Elena sensed Jiang Li's increasingly irritable mood and asked cautiously,
"nothing."
Jiang Li closed his homework book and said with a smile: "I think I need to make an alchemical pen for marking papers."
After reading these things every day, she felt her blood pressure was high.
"The professor is amazing." Elena looked at Jiang Li with shining eyes and said, "I wish I could become someone as outstanding as the professor in the future."
"You don't have to be like me, just be yourself."
Jiang Li threw aside a homework book with a turtle pattern on it. She looked at Elena and said, "I'm not as beautiful as you think. Don't be swayed by the illusion in front of you."
Jiang Li held a feather pen and it turned into a flower.
Looking at Jiang Li's profile, Elena remembered something and asked cautiously, "Professor, are the Scavengers Death Eaters?"
Hearing this, Jiang Li looked straight at Elena, smiled slightly and said, "Why do you think so?"
"Because I've also heard what the Scavengers said from the Death Eaters." Elena said softly.
Her father said those same things at home.
So when Elena heard those words in the "Second World", she felt a strong sense of discomfort in her heart.
So what her father did was so unbearable in the eyes of others?
Jiang Li held his chin up and looked at Elena and said, "Do you think what the Death Eaters did was right?"
"I don't know." Elena shook her head.
Everything her father did was for the family.
As a vested interest, Elena could not blame her father for what he did.
"Have you read the history of the goblin rebellion?" Jiang Li asked.
Elena nodded.
"What do you think?"
Jiang Li inserted the rose pen into the pen holder and asked casually.
"Many people died in that battle, and the losses were very heavy. The wizards paid a lot of blood to suppress the goblins. I don't think we should give these goblins too many rights."
"Anything else?" Jiang Li asked.
Elena was slightly stunned and shook her head: "I don't know."
"In fact, there are more histories of rebellion by other species, but some are not recorded because history books are written by the victors."
Jiang Li smiled at the somewhat confused Elena and said, "Do you think house-elves are born to like being slaves?
They have abilities that are no less than those of wizards. They can use magic without wands, and their ability to travel through space is even stronger than that of wizards. What do you think they were like before they became house-elves?"
Elena's pupils shrank slightly, and a terrible thought arose in her mind.
She said with difficulty: "You mean someone has erased this history."
“Aren’t these normal?”
Jiang Li looked at the frightened Elena and said in a relaxed tone: "If the Death Eaters succeed in occupying this wizarding world, our fate will be the same as that of the house elves~"
Elena couldn't laugh anymore and felt a little panicked.
She couldn't imagine how terrible that world would be.
"Then...if we join the Death Eaters, will we not become like house-elves?" Elena asked cautiously.
Hearing this, Jiang Li chuckled, looked at Elena gently and said, "Have you ever read Muggle history books?"
Elena shook her head.
“Violence can indeed solve some problems, but it cannot resolve the real contradictions within.
Most of the Death Eaters enjoy destruction. Their existence has broken the balance. With them around, the wizarding world is doomed to be unstable.
Brutal rulers are doomed to not last long. Having enjoyed equality, how can people be willing to be slaves? Unequal distribution of resources will lead to riots and constant conflicts among the lower classes until their destruction.
Or the people in power will shift the target, bring out another target, and let people set the target somewhere else."
Jiang Li looked at Elena and asked, "How do you think they will divert the conflict?"
Elena thought about it seriously and tentatively answered, "Directing the blame to other races?"
"Yes, but not entirely." Jiang Li gave a hint, "What did Grindelwald do?"
"Diverting the conflict means wizards ruling the Muggle world and going to war with Muggles!" Elena exclaimed.
"bingo."
Jiang Li snapped his fingers, looked at Elena and praised her: "But there is no reward."
"This is too terrible." Elena found it hard to accept.
"But we won't necessarily attack the Muggle world. After all, Muggles are very powerful now, and an escalation of war is not a good thing."
Jiang Li analyzed seriously, "In fact, I think it is more likely that the Death Eaters are fighting among themselves. They are not very disciplined and they do things as they please.
After ruling the wizarding world, there is a high possibility that they will fight for power. For example, the worse Death Eaters at the bottom will most likely become cannon fodder and victims.
Or he would be killed by Voldemort. After all, no one in power would allow others to challenge his authority.
No matter what the outcome, things will get chaotic in the end, and ordinary people’s lives won’t be easy.”
Listening to Jiang Li's analysis, Elena's face turned slightly pale.
"Then what should we do to stop the Death Eaters?" she asked Jiang Li.
Jiang Li did not answer her, but looked at her seriously and said: "My [Second World] is not yet complete. More and more people will use this thing in the future. Are you willing to help me?"
"Can I?" Elena asked unconfidently.
"Of course you can. You are very talented in alchemy. I believe that as long as you are willing to learn, you will be able to achieve something." Jiang Li said sincerely.
"Elena, are you willing to change the world with me?"
"I am willing!"
Hearing this, Elena's eyes warmed slightly, and she agreed without hesitation.
I didn't expect Professor Malfoy to think so highly of her.
"Professor, don't worry, I will try my best to be able to help you!" she said excitedly.
"Since there is no problem, then take a look at this employment contract."
Jiang Li took out a contract from the drawer and handed it to Elena, saying, "This is your first month's salary. Your salary will be gradually increased based on your ability and what you do."
"This is too much."
Elena took a look at the amount on the contract and immediately said to Jiang Li: "Professor, I don't need that much money. As long as I can be with you, I'm already very happy."
"Don't have that idea. You should be paid accordingly for your hard work."
Jiang Li handed the pen to Elena and said, "If I make it impossible for you to make any money and keep you busy, you will start to hate working for me."
"No." Elena took the pen, looked at Jiang Li with burning eyes and said, "I know you are not that kind of person."
She looked down at the contract and carefully signed her name on it.
After a long time, Elena had become a famous alchemist. Whenever she thought of what happened today, she couldn't help but be glad that she did not make the wrong choice.
Jiang Li took the contract and was in a good mood.
Great, I have one more hardworking employee under me.
Alchemists are too scarce, and most of them have no shortage of money, so Jiang Li had no choice but to look for someone in the school. Elena is one of them. He hopes she will not let him down.
Elena didn’t know what Jiang Li was thinking, otherwise her filter for her would have been shattered.
She looked at Elena, smiled gently and said, "I hope we can get along well from now on."
Hearing this, Elena also showed a happy expression.
The next second, Jiang Li took out a stack of books of the same height as hers, and said to her in a gentle tone:
"This is what you will learn in the next month. Please finish reading it as soon as possible. I will start spot checking tomorrow. After a month, you will start studying the relevant plans of the "Second World" with me. We will strive to produce a portable "Second World" consciousness access device by the end of this semester and launch it on the market."
Elena: "..."
I feel so stressed and suddenly feel a little regretful.
