Chapter 523 521. Why can't we use the power of Muggles?
The North Sea, a sea area that is rarely set foot by Muggles due to the existence of certain magic.
A simple sailboat was moving forward in the rough sea waves. Jon stood firmly on the boat, his body motionless.
In fact, it would be more convenient for him to directly turn into a phoenix, or simply use the floating spell to fly over. However, being blocked by Sir Stoke, there is not much sea area where Muggles can't set foot. Just flying directly on the unobstructed sea like this is too easy to be spotted by Muggles navigating at sea.
In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Jon simply used the transfiguration technique to conjure a sailboat. Even if it was seen like this, it was still a bit shocking, but it was not a supernatural phenomenon.
Soon, Jon could feel that there were more creatures around the ocean that normal people should not see.
Some curious murlocs had already poked half their heads out from under the sea surface, quietly looking at this boy who was obviously not like a normal person.
Not long after, Jon saw the destination of his trip from a 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 constantly shaking by the sea wind. Jon tiptoed and knocked on the lampshade to wake up the door light.
"Ha! How long have I been sleeping? There are guests visiting!"
Just listening to the sound, you can feel the excitement of the door lamp. It swayed by itself, and at the same time looked at Jon. When he saw his face clearly, his tone could not help but become disappointed.
"How is it a child? Did you fall into the water and drift here? Need help? Surprised to see a talking lamp?"
Jon pulled out his wand, showing his identity as a wizard.
"Please let me know. I am Jon Green, a visiting professor of astronomy at Hogwarts who happened to pass by here. I want to visit the owner of this tower."
Although he saw the wand in Jon's hand, the door lamp still looked at his immature face suspiciously, but in the end he didn't say anything more, and disappeared from the door with a "whoosh".
Jon stood in front of the door and waited, while looking at his feet.
In this world, there are no rockets in the part under the tower.
He didn't make him wait long, and soon the door was opened from the inside, and the old house elf Rabiel looked at Jon.
He had obviously obtained Jon's description from the gate lamp, but after seeing his extremely young face, he was still a little surprised.
"Are you an astronomy professor at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry?"
Jon smiled slightly.
"It's impossible for a normal eight-year-old boy to come to this kind of place alone, even in the magic 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."
Rabiel looked Jon up and down again, and really felt that he was extraordinary from his conversation and ability to come to this place alone.
So he bowed and made an invitation gesture, inviting Jon into the tower.
It looks the same as when Jon came to another world.
Jon saw the old gentleman sitting on the sofa holding a book in his hand. From the outside, he was exactly the same as the last time Jon saw him.
Wizards generally live much longer than Muggles. On the surface, Sir Stoke is only sixty or seventy years old at most, but in fact he is already a hundred years old.
When Jon looked at him, he heard the movement of Rabiel bringing people, and Sir Stoke's eyes turned to him.
Seeing Jon's appearance, he was obviously surprised.
"Although I have never studied at Hogwarts, I don't think even that school will hire a child to be a professor?"
Jon shrugged, he had already sat down opposite Sir Stoke, and then took out a letter of appointment from his arms, which he specially asked Dumbledore to sign when he was from Hogwarts, specifically identifying the position as astronomy.
"There are always things in the magic world that make us not what we are, right?" Jon deliberately ambiguously said, "It's just a sequela of a failed experiment. I believe that the people who can live in this kind of tower shouldn't be people who judge people by their appearance?"
Such an explanation is reasonable, and Sir Stoke really doesn't care much about his appearance, but is very interested in what he said is his status as a visiting professor of astronomy.
Soon they opened the topic and started chatting.
Jon just made an excuse for himself to pass by by chance, but neither Sir Stoke nor himself actually focused on this.
The old man who has lived here alone for decades is only interested in astronomy, and Jon is here for that.
Soon Jon began to take the initiative to lead the topic.
"About the sky above our heads, it's not just wizards, Muggles are much deeper than what we want to study."
Hearing his words, Sir Stoke'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 clearer astronomical telescope? They know the sky through these two things?"
Jon shook his head.
"More than that, as early as forty years ago, some Muggles flew out of the planet we live in, reached space, and even went to the moon."
Sir Stoke's gaze became even more surprised, and his gaze at Jon had changed from admiration to eagerness.
"There are still wizards in the wizarding world who really know about this!"
he said with emotion.
"I am also concerned about these things. I have always felt that wizards are too self-confident. The "Secrecy Act" 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 that starry sky, far surpassing wizards' understanding of the sky."
Speaking of this, his voice couldn't help but dimmed a little.
"I have been researching for this goal here all these years. Astronomy should not allow astronomers to stop at land and only look up. There is never a way to truly understand the starry sky."
After listening to his emotion quietly, Jon suddenly interjected.
"Then why can't we use the power of Muggles? Since they are already ahead of us."
