Unlike the letter written to Aisha, which was filled with a lot of disgusting words, the letter written to Mo Fei is much more secure.

I opened the letter, and it was full of words about what I had learned and how much I had grown.

Because of his letter, Mo Fei also felt a lot more involved.

However, Aiwen's letter also made Mo Fei somewhat worried, not because of anything else, but because this time, the place they arrived at was a place in Germany.

It stands to reason that the Chamber of Commerce will not encounter any problems. The war between countries is far from intensifying. Moreover, the Chamber of Commerce itself has its own channels, and they will avoid the most dangerous places.

Even if businessmen pursue profit, they will not put their lives on the scale of measurement.

Therefore, although Mo Fei is a little worried about Aiwen's safety, this path was chosen by Aiwen himself, and he can only watch him go on his own.

Moreover, as long as Aiwen can come back smoothly, his income this time will be enough for him to do some small business in London.

There is no need to go out again for such high-risk overseas business in the short term.

At the beginning, Mo Fei also thought that Aiwen was conducting trade within Britain. Although the benefits of doing so were much smaller, it was at least safe enough.

No one thought that Aiwen would choose the path of overseas trade.

This road is a typical high-risk, high-reward road.

Even within the Chamber of Commerce, there are not many people who choose this way, and Aiwen is the youngest among them.

However, perhaps because of this, he was able to gain a lot of experience and capital in less than a year, allowing him to make a lot of money.

If Aiwen comes back safely, Mo Fei will warn him. Making money is not easy, but keeping your own money is even harder.

How to use every penny and remind him to make reasonable planning is his next task.

After planning his future work, Mo Fei once again devoted himself to Tom's education and the collection of inherited magical plants.

It sounds like maybe Grindelwald had a plan in advance.

Every time he comes, there are only two people in the orphanage, Tom and Mo Fei.

The other children are not here either.

And his teaching of Tom was completely different from what Mo Fei imagined.

In Mo Fei's imagination, this legendary and dangerous and powerful wizard should adhere to the natural law of survival of the fittest when teaching. He might impart a large amount of magical knowledge in one go, and then wait for students to understand before telling new things...

Such elite education is the stereotype of Mo Fei.

But after actually listening to Grindelwald's lecture, Mo Fei discovered the difference.

This wizard can definitely become the most competent professor.

Unlike the original book where Dumbledore likes to add a lot of truths to everything he talks about, Grindelwald doesn't like to add his own opinions to his teaching.

Everything that came out of his mouth was the most standard answer, as if it were rubbed from a book.

However, unlike the legendary ghost professor Hogwarts History of Magic, when he told this magical knowledge, although he did not use his own subjective judgment, he also told it very vividly.

If he had to say something, he was like a third party observing, stating everything he could from a completely objective perspective.

The second lesson for Tom is what Mo Fei is most worried about.

"Tom, what do you think Dark Magic is?"

When hearing this question, Mo Fei forcibly resisted his desire to lift the table.

How could anyone tell such a thing to a young wizard who has not yet entered school? Even the top Dark Magic family, Black family, should not be so crazy...

Just as Mo Fei was about to stop him, he heard that Tom had already answered the question.

"Professor, is the Dark Magic you are talking about the kind of magic used by villains in fairy tales? Is it the kind of power that can make princesses fall asleep, make flames sweep through them, and turn the world upside down?"

Hearing this answer, Grindelwald also laughed.

"It seems that your dean has told you a lot of stories..."

He looked at Mo Fei, who was walking towards us with a bad look on his face, and then made a gesture to ask him to sit aside.

"First of all, in Wizard World a long time ago, there was no such name as Dark Magic... Just like in the legends circulated in many Muggle Worlds, Merlin who helped King Arthur was a legendary wizard. What were the magics he used?"

"Astrology Prophecy, Transfiguration brought about by stargazing, elemental manipulation, blessing, immortality,... as well as illusion and mind control magic..."

"If you think about mind control, there is a wizard who can invade your spiritual world at will and then distort your thoughts... Is this kind of magic Dark Magic..."

"Also, Merlin can communicate with nightmares and then create nightmares for people... Is this ability the same as Dark Magic?"

Question after question, not only Tom, but also Mo Fei was a little confused.

Indeed, these methods do not sound very safe, and, looking at it now, mind control magic is not Imperius Curse in modern Three Unforgivable Curses, and summoning nightmares and communicating with nightmares sounds very dangerous.

Seeing that the two of them were lost in thought, Grindelwald did not end there, but continued.

"Then if I tell you that in that era, almost all wizards had one or two of these 'stunts', what would you think?"

Mo Fei took a deep breath and tried to bring the topic back.

"Sir, this is not a thing. Even if the wizards at that time would use it, it does not mean that it is correct..."

"There is never a thing that everyone does right..."

Grindelwald looked happy at Mo Fei's rebuttal.

Although Mo Fei is a Muggle and cannot master magic, to a certain extent, his ideas really make sense.

No, he directly discovered the problem, and the illusion created by Grindelwald was directly exposed.

"Hahaha, yes, the name Dark Magic, or the reason why this category is opposed by people is very simple. It's not that kind of thing, but because these magics are powerful and easy to activate. They just require some extreme emotions, so they seem to be high quality and cheap..."

"But the real problem is that these magics will induce you to continue to develop to extremes, thereby losing yourself and becoming a simple-minded machine instead of a wizard..."

"In that era, because the secrets of magic were still scarce, many people might only master one or two magics in their lives. Even if it was some extreme magic, they couldn't do anything about it, so weird wizards appeared..."

"They have already become slaves of Dark Magic..."

"But why do those great wizards have nothing to do even if they learn Dark Magic? The first thing is that they have enough strength to prevent any deviation of their will... This way they can maintain their integrity..."

"Also, from another aspect, some Dark Magics have different emotions. The more they master it, the more these Dark Magics will help them maintain a fragile balance..."

"But, what I want to tell you is that this balance is very fragile. Once it is completely out of balance... then..."

"So, this is the second lesson I teach you - when you are not capable, stay away from Dark Magic!"
