Chapter 518: Worrying about the Sky Falling

~9 min read 1,757 words

It was not that Harry or Sirius intentionally disrespected Tang Tang Nade, but for the two native old British wizards, aliens were too distant, even like a fantasy. The vast majority of wizards, just like Muggles dismissing magic as crazy talk, would also treat the aliens that Muggles kept talking about as gibberish.

Therefore, despite holding twelve points of respect, the two still found it hard to hold back their laughter. Of course, Harry felt that he was more influenced by Sirius; he hadn't intended to laugh at all.

"You can choose not to believe it, just wait and see. I have to say that Ge Ge Xuan has never done redundant things, and I don't believe he just did it to play a meme—he said before that everything must look at the benefits." Tang Tang Nade's tone carried a hint of helplessness, but still full of certainty, "Genius Build is a good example. I never thought before that I could directly copy Genius Bottles in another world, but he just did it."

"Of course, we understand your respect for Master Xuanjun very well." Sirius coughed heavily, suppressing the urge to laugh, "However, as the saying goes, summoning a batch of aliens as enemies, what are the benefits of this?"

"I can't be sure, but I think this is a very dangerous plan. Maybe he wants to use the power of magic to defeat those aliens and then obtain their technology?" Tang Tang Nade said hesitantly. Obviously, he hadn't considered it from this angle before. Those aliens that only existed in stories scared him to death.

"But if aliens can be easily defeated by our magical power, then their technology is not worth obtaining, right?" Harry said very earnestly, "By comparison, I think this is more like Master Xuanjun accidentally having a childlike heart—just like that novel A Song of Ice and Fire, we didn't see the characters in the novel appear in reality."

"Because they haven't been named yet." Tang Tang Nade explained, "If we name a child in reality, then according to the role of that ritual, his personality and talent will unconsciously lean towards the characters in the novel, it's just that I haven't figured out to what extent it leans."

"According to this, Mr. Fontroy." Sirius suddenly became serious, "You proposed naming the Kingdom of Werewolves as Gilneas earlier, right? Does this name have any meaning? Does it overlap with a place name in a novel or a fictional work by Muggles?"

Tang Tang Nade opened his mouth wide, his gaze fell on the invitation on the table, and then he swallowed a mouthful of saliva with a guilty conscience.

"Sorry, at that time I was really just out of, accidental excitement." He said sincerely, "But Gilneas didn't get a good ending in the story, it was destroyed by the invasion of the undead."

"Undead?" Harry couldn't help but want to laugh again, but he quickly remembered Voldemort making Inferi. The Wizarding World was not without the undead.

"Although I don't know how much impact this will have on reality, if the principle is already known, perhaps they should be asked to change a name..." Sirius pondered, "But I have to say that this kind of worry is really, too..."

"Worrying about the sky falling." Harry summarized, "This is an Eastern proverb, describing a person worrying about the sky collapsing, used to describe some groundless worries. Zhang Qiu used this proverb last time to describe Bellatrix worrying that I was Voldemort's illegitimate child."

"Very vivid." Sirius showed a relieved smile, "Perhaps we can wait and see, Mr. Tang Tang Nade: if Gilneas is safe and sound, thriving, then it shows that this so-called magic name principle does not always work, and you don't have to worry about those aliens."

"This is different." Tang Tang Nade was still worried, "Master Xuanjun's peeping and utilization of fate is far beyond mine. Even if Gilneas doesn't repeat the same mistakes, it doesn't necessarily mean Red Coast is safe."

Speaking of fate, Harry suddenly remembered that Tonks had once refused to take the position of doctor. She must have seen something in advance. However, if it came to resisting fate, Harry felt that he still had some successful experience and didn't need to fear anything.

"How about this, how about this." Sirius coughed twice, "Mr. Tang Tang Nade, you can think about it this way. No matter whether aliens exist or not, since this was invented by Ge Ge Xuan, then he must have a way to deal with aliens, right?"

"Hard to say." Tang Tang Nade was still worried.

Harry picked up the invitation on the table and handed it to him, saying with a bit of amusement: "Sir, no matter what is going on with the aliens, we can always think of a way together. And what you need to do now is to temporarily put down this worry, go back to pick out a suit and choose a female companion to attend the grand wedding of Gilneas that happens once in a century."

"To see if the Gilneas spell works?" Tang Tang Nade rubbed his head painfully, "What exactly is Ge Ge Xuan thinking..."

After saying all the nice things and sending away the traveler who had inexplicably started worrying about aliens, Sirius suddenly laughed out loud, followed by loud laughter, wild laughter. He slapped the table and couldn't control himself. Influenced by him, Harry also began to giggle uncontrollably, although he didn't know what was funny.

"I dare say this is a prank, a prank by Ge Ge Xuan to tease Tang Tang Nade." Sirius said after stopping his laughter, "We used to play like this, using a thing that only he cares about, a secret code that only he can understand. I generally call this a dog whistle. You mentioned before that Ge Ge Xuan and Tang Tang Nade both traveled from the future of parallel worlds to the present, right? Especially since they both come from the future, there will be a lot of dog whistles, and they are often used and new."

"Yes, are you talking about the prank?" Harry scratched his head, "I think Ge Ge Xuan already teased him hard enough with Evolt last year."

"Teasing a guy who thinks he's smart is always a fun thing, you reminded me of that." Sirius held up a finger, "I have to go back and change Snape's title on the invitation to 【The Honorable Half-Blood Prince】, oh, that will be very interesting."

No matter what, the Easter holiday was coming, and Lu Ping and Tonks were about to get married. These were all beautiful things that Harry was looking forward to very much, and would not change because Tang Tang Nade ran out and said a bunch of strange talks about summoning aliens. However, these strange talks ultimately had some subtle influence on his mood, and he couldn't help but ask Zhang Qiu.

"You say the significance of Master doing this? Then I think Sirius guessed right." Zhang Qiu shrugged, she didn't take this matter to heart either, "You might not know, Tang Tang Nade was scolded by his father last year, and then he was angry and ran to the Tianchao border to curse Master. So, according to this, Master making an alien to tease him is also very reasonable, nothing special worth mentioning."

"You used the word 'make', not 'fabricate', does it mean that you also feel in your heart that the alien statement might be true?" Harry couldn't help but ask.

"True or false, it doesn't matter. Since Master dares to do this, it shows that he is not afraid of this matter coming true, right?"

"Yes, theoretically Tang Tang Nade wouldn't not know this. And, if aliens want to destroy humanity, then Tianchao and your Master also need to fight against aliens." Harry grabbed his hair and said, "But why could he scare Tang Tang Nade like that? You know Tang Tang Nade should be the person who understands your Master better than us. Since he would be afraid because of this, does it mean he knows that your Master might not necessarily be able to deal with those aliens?"

"I think you are splitting hairs, Harry." Zhang Qiu said, "Just treat it as my English is not good. Let me reorganize the language. Master made up the story of this alien just to tease Tang Tang Nade and retaliate for his behavior of going to the Tianchao border to make trouble. It's that simple."

"Alright, alright," she stroked Harry's back with one hand, "I know you worry about this because of that document. The name Red Coast base was signed by you, which makes you a bit worried. But, taking a step back, even if aliens really appear one day, it has nothing to do with this signature."

"If it were aliens that already existed, then it doesn't matter whether you sign the document or not, they were already there." Zhang Qiu comforted him very earnestly, "And if it were aliens summoned because of a name and some kind of magic ritual, then they won't exceed the limits of magic, and the limits of magic are just in your and Luo En's hands, there is nothing to be afraid of."

"Just like Evolt, in the story he really has the ability to create black holes, but when we made this guy in the Wizarding World, he was just a slightly more powerful knight." Zhang Qiu said with a smile, "So, don't worry, okay?"

This last example was what truly put Harry at ease. He returned to the things he had to do before—organizing homework and notes, making holiday plans, and picking out the suit to attend Gilneas's wedding.

Finally, when that day was approaching, everyone's face was filled with smiles. With the cooperation of Snape and Lu Ping, not only was the life of werewolves thriving, but vampires were also gradually stabilizing. Moreover, with the Focus of Rainbow being built in large batches across the European continent, those Muggle spies who came to spy from time to time were greatly reduced, and the Minister of Defense of Albania was also preparing to come to attend this wedding. These spies became his very brilliant political achievements.

There was only one person in the guest seats with a bitter face, and that was Tang Tang Nade. His appearance of being restless whenever he talked about aliens caused secret mockery from almost all wizards. ===== CHAPTER 519 =====
