Snape resisted the urge to walk away and took the grilled fish, but his eyes were scary.

"Is there something you want to tell me, Severus?" Felix asked. Seeing Snape remained silent, he understood. They came out of the hall and came to the center of the courtyard, where a layer of white snow covered the ground.

"I heard you and Bubbage discussing the use of magic to grow crops." Snape paused and finished his words without any ups and downs: "I happen to have similar confusions."

Of course, he heard more than that. For example, there was a pen pal in it. He estimated that it was probably the dangerous element mentioned by Dumbledore. Through Felix's description, Snape simply outlined the image of a closed, stubborn, inarticulate, and solitary wizard in his mind.

This kind of person is not uncommon in the magic world. But to make Dumbledore so afraid, he must be a powerful person.

These thoughts flashed by, and Snape finished speaking, looking at Felix calmly.

Felix glanced at him and was not surprised. He just wanted to bring in a potion master. Compared with Damocles Belby who was far away, Severus who was obviously close at hand was more suitable.

There was also a backup candidate, Slughorn, but the old man was afraid of heavy work and liked to enjoy himself. It was not easy to convince him.

"Wizards have always tended to be self-sufficient. Using magic to grow vegetables? In their eyes, it is no different from using magic to wash dishes and clean the room, but if you look at it from another angle, vegetables, fruits, and crops are all living things. In this process, what role does magic play? No one can explain clearly."

Snape listened silently, always feeling that something was wrong. Why did they really talk about growing vegetables?

"What wizards are accustomed to is a fantasy in the eyes of Muggles." Felix continued, "I think this is a good entry point."

"What entry point?" Snape asked sharply.

"Observing Muggle science from the perspective of wizards, the final destination is back to magic." Felix said: "This process requires understanding of both sides, but it is not necessary to be proficient. Professor Bubbaji's knowledge reserve is enough, so I introduced this topic to her."

Snape snorted and said indifferently: "It is indeed better than overestimating one's own ability to study the nature of magic."

Felix did not respond, "As far as I know, no wizard has ever systematically studied the impact of magic on crop cultivation. In addition to the fact that there are indeed few people in the wizarding world, there is another biggest reason: pragmatism prevails among wizards."

This is also the conclusion that Felix came to from a higher perspective to observe the differences between wizards and non-wizards.

The foundations of the two buildings of magic and technology are completely different. The former is magic and mind, while the latter is based on reason and logic. For most wizards, although rationality and logical reasoning are useful, they are not necessary, at least they do not affect their spellcasting.

Over time, this part of knowledge is only reflected in specific disciplines.

"… Magical Planting? Magical Planting? If Professor Bubbage can really come up with some results, maybe it will change the world."

"Change the world?" Snape couldn't help frowning. This word sounded dangerous.

"Ah, the word is inappropriate," Felix smiled and took a bite of the grilled fish: "The correct way to say it is to save up a powerful trump card."

Snape wrote it down silently, and at the same time secretly thought about where this card could be used. He subconsciously took a bite of the fish meat. The tender and tasty fish meat exploded in his mouth, and then a warm heat spread in his stomach, making the air in the courtyard even colder.

He heard Felix continue, "Professor Bubbage is standing at the door of a brand new field. I am happy to see it happen and I am willing to provide some insignificant help."

"For example, that pen pal?" Snape asked risky questions.

He felt that he was getting closer to the truth little by little. Dumbledore's instructions to him were wrong. Dumbledore didn't intend to tell him who that person was, but it didn't prevent him from knowing it from Felix. Snape thought secretly.

He didn't expect it to go so smoothly. Felix didn't seem to have any intention of hiding anything.

Snape felt a strange sense of familiarity. When was the last time? Oh, he was pulled into the Future World Company. He still had to take some time every month to brew the enhanced version of wolfsbane potion and analyze the formula of alchemical materials...

His vigilance was instantly full.

Felix blinked. You've overheard a lot of things, Severus. He was like an experienced hunter waiting for his prey to take the bait, and patiently explained: "Not only him, there are more people. At least I can think of it. Let's call it magical planting science for the time being. This subject may also require the knowledge of spells and potions."

He? Is he a wizard? Snape's heart moved. Then he understood why Felix revealed this information to him. To use the knowledge of potions... He felt like he was walking into a trap.

"It seems like a big project, but I don't see what it's for." Snape said calmly, "I've only heard of wizards who died of stupidity, but never of wizards who died of starvation."

"Open your mind, Severus, there are more than just wizards in this world."

Snape pondered for a moment, and his calm heart suddenly began to ripple. His hands holding the grilled fish were shaking, and he had to use the brain closure technique to cover up his true emotions. After a while, he asked hoarsely, "Are you talking about those Muggles? There are no restrictions on the Statute of Secrecy unless..."

His expression became unfathomable, but his heart was chilled.

Felix waved his hand, "I don't mean to challenge the Statute of Secrecy, so I said this is just a trump card," Snape felt a little relieved, but Felix's next sentence made his heart rise to his throat, and his internal organs were about to jump out.

"After all, there are precedents," Felix said, "If there is anything I have learned from this, it is that you should not go to extremes, because if you are extreme, those who support you will be more extreme. Even if you influence 100,000 people, it is still insignificant." He gave Snape a meaningful look.

Snape instantly thought of a name, Gellert Grindelwald. Is he the person Dumbledore is wary of, the first generation of Dark Lord? He couldn't wait to continue listening, even his breathing slowed down, carefully considering every word Felix said.

"Stubbornness will bring blind followers, but it will also distinguish you and your followers from normal people..." Felix said, "This happens often, doesn't it? Only 'you' are anxious and shouting loudly, but the bystanders don't care. Instead, they feel strange and afraid of the way 'you' wave your arms, and subconsciously stay away from you."

"Then how do you solve this problem?" Snape asked, he had completely calmed down.

"We have Dumbledore and the Ministry of Magic at the forefront!" Felix said irresponsibly, "At best, I just foresaw some possible crises and made some preparations in advance. It's not illegal to start a company, and supporting the development of the wizarding world won't lead to mass attacks..."

"Including pushing Bubbage to study what you call magical planting? Do you think this can help overcome a certain crisis?" Snape asked knowingly.

"I don't know." Felix said briefly, "I only know that in this era, there are still more than a billion people who don't have enough food to eat."
