In other words, the combustion of Gubraithian Fire was completely safe and harmless.
This discovery left both Wade and Nicolas Flamel extremely excited.
Wade immediately spent the entire night designing a Gubraithian Fire energy core before mailing the blueprint to Nicolas Flamel.
With Nicolas Flamel's help refining it, the first-generation Gubraithian Fire energy core was finally born.
It was a cheaper, more powerful, and safer energy core! The amount of power it could provide far surpassed that of ordinary Ancient Rune inscriptions alone.
In his excitement, Wade naturally began thinking about what he could create using Gubraithian Fire as an energy source...
Originally, he had planned to make some kind of combat puppet or construct, but while tidying up, he happened to notice the flying broom tucked in his pocket...
Flying broomsticks were capable of flight because the core components contained runic circuits that produced levitation and propulsion effects.
However, the power Ancient Runes could provide was ultimately limited!
So Wade casually stuffed the Gubraithian Fire energy source into the core component...
At that moment, everyone was still discussing how many Galleons Wade's broom could sell for.
Meanwhile, Andrews, who happened to be passing by nearby, held a rather pessimistic view on the matter.
"It won't be that easy... in every country, the sale of these kinds of products is monopolised by established pure-blood families. After so many years, their interests have already become tightly intertwined. Even with your excellent family background, Boss, trying to claim a share of the market would still require paying a tremendous price... this isn't something that can be solved just because the product is good..."
Hmmm.....
"Andrews, you make a good point. This is exactly the limitation of the current wizarding world!" Wade said with a smile. "Not bad. You've improved quite a bit in just one week!"
Andrews sighed. "I've simply suffered at their hands too many times... I think pure-bloods in every country are probably all the same..."
"That's normal. Since ancient times, any family that prospered inevitably came to see themselves as nobler than others. To preserve their status, they needed to suppress weaker people. To prevent their position from being overturned, they also had to maintain their own strength at all times."
"The most basic method was preserving so-called blood purity... only marriages between powerful families could ensure their descendants remained powerful. Over time, these pure-blood families gradually emerged..."
As Wade spoke, he took the flying broom back from everyone's hands. "Since we're already discussing this topic, I might as well talk to you all about it... if we want to build a better world, we can't avoid these troublesome social realities."
Wade had everyone sit down in the training ground's resting area, while Tom had somehow quietly appeared among the crowd at some point.
"This situation still continues even now. However, because the wizarding population is already small, and pure-blood families are few in number, many once-glorious pure-blood families have gradually declined over time... because their descendants became worse with each generation. Biologically speaking, this has a lot to do with inbreeding."
As Wade spoke, his gaze fell on Henry and Alphard. "I just hope my words haven't offended either of you."
Both Alphard and Henry shrugged.
Alphard said, "Actually, we all know it already. The reason so many names were burned off my family's tapestry... is because some of our ancestors secretly married half-bloods or Muggles. Of course, the names of those who married Muggles were burned away, while some who married half-blood witches or wizards were left on the tapestry and simply passed off as pure-bloods..."
Henry added, "Yeah, my family is the same. Oh, and so is Abraxas's family. The Malfoys were once obsessed with pursuing a Muggle queen. Back then, nobody talked about pure-blood supremacy."
"So the pure-blood families that have survived to this day are the clever ones, the ones who know how to adapt..." Wade said. "Because of historical reasons, these pure-blood families still monopolise most of society's resources and are spread across every industry... the so-called elite of wizarding society are, for the most part, pure-blood wizards from various pure-blood families, or half-blood wizards related to pure-bloods by blood. As for everyone else, such as Muggle-born wizards... only a very small number of lucky individuals can rise above their circumstances through exceptional talent and good fortune."
Henry and Alphard did not feel much about this, since their families themselves were already famous pure-blood families.
As for everyone else, the impact of these words was far greater.
Especially for Muggle-born wizards...
Muggle-born wizards and pure-blood wizards started from completely different positions. They were ordinary Muggles who awakened magical abilities by chance and were then sent to Hogwarts to study...
As a result, the only connections they had in the wizarding world were the classmates and professors they met at Hogwarts.
After graduation, aside from the extremely rare geniuses capable of changing their fate against all odds, most ordinary Muggle-born wizards had to slowly struggle their way up from the bottom of wizarding society.
As for those who did not wish to remain in the wizarding world, they would also find themselves completely lost upon returning to the Muggle world...
The knowledge they learned at Hogwarts could not be used in the Muggle world because of the International Statute of Secrecy. At the same time, because they attended magical schools, they also became disconnected from Muggle society. The most basic problem was that Hogwarts graduates possessed no Muggle qualifications at all...
In the end, these wizards could only choose to return to the wizarding world and become yet another piece of its lower class.
Pure-blood wizards, however, were different.
Their relatives and connections spread throughout the entire wizarding world, especially among the elite classes.
With those connections, climbing upward after graduation became extremely easy for them, and they had many different paths to choose from!
Even half-blood wizards had it much easier than completely Muggle-born wizards, simply because one of their parents was still a wizard.
Over time, pure-blood families firmly took control of the elite classes, while ordinary Muggle-born wizards had to expend several times more effort than pure-blood wizards of equal ability just to achieve similar accomplishments...
This was the cruel reality of the modern wizarding world...
