It's really the world of Harry Potter and!

It turns out that the biggest reason for Tom's blackening as an adult is Dumbledore's "care"?

This is really in line with the national conditions of the United Kingdom!

"Ahem."

Clearing his throat, Lin Zhengyang changed the subject.

"I thought maybe we could talk about the annual allocation of funds for education, you know, to maintain such a big school, every day is equivalent to burning money."

Chris also felt that it was inappropriate, he was coming on official business, so he also put on a formulaic smile and took out a document from his briefcase.

"Principal Lin, the Ministry of Magic has determined that you have the conditions to open a magic school, and I believe that you have enough knowledge and literacy to teach excellent wizards."

To open a magic school, not everyone has this qualification, the Ministry of Magic has a relevant evaluation procedure for this, and it roughly depends on the strength of that person, how well the knowledge is, and it is impossible for some third-rate wizards to run a cram school and call themselves a magic school.

You must know that the diploma issued by passing the magic school exam is common throughout Europe, which is a plus point for future job hunting.

Every year, the Ministry of Magic draws new blood from Hogwarts, starting with the best wizards, those with the most credentials.

Now that there is a major crisis at Hogwarts, it will not be able to continue for some time to come.

In order to ensure that the talent pool is not cut off, before solving the Hogwarts troubles, the Ministry of Magic will naturally turn its attention more to other places.

For example, a new, powerful school of magic.

It just so happened that the clock tower was recently erected, and its founder had a wide reputation in Asia and was recognized as the most academically accomplished wizard (monk) in the last hundred years.

This intrigued the Minister, so he ordered the exchange, the main purpose of which was to show the support of the Ministry of Magic····· and expeditions.

"We've talked to wizards in Asia and they hold you in high esteem········ But I'm personally curious, why don't you stay in your hometown and start a school? Of course, the UK is also a good place to be. ”

Lin Zhengyang did not speak on this issue, does he want to tell you that this is a task?

"Since the Ministry of Magic has assessed my own level to be qualified to open a school, I want to know how much the Ministry of Magic is willing to pay?"

"Well, I'm not in charge of that."

Chris was a little embarrassed and laughed dryly.

"Then please bring me a letter, saying that the clock tower is short of funds and is about to close down, and I implore the ministry to release the first batch of education funds as soon as possible."

Lin Zhengyang's words were fast and urgent, and Mr. Chris was a little stunned.

"Also, due to the large number of students we have here, the school food supply is not well funded, so we need support from the ministry···········

"Wait, a lot? How many students are there? ”

Chris interrupted and asked the question.

Hogwarts only enrolls forty or fifty students every year, and there are only a dozen students in each house, so it's not too much, right?

He subconsciously measures the clock tower by Hogwarts standards.

"Ah, the number, I think, seems to be seven hundred and twenty-one, if I'm not mistaken."

"How much do you say?"

"Seven hundred and sixty-one."

"It can't be! You are blackmailing! ”

Chris is surprisingly furious!

"That's eight hundred, so let's count it."

"The Ministry of Magic will never accept blackmail!"

Chris waved the briefcase in his hand, looking angry.

Obviously, according to the Hogwarts education system, only young wizards who have awakened their magic are allowed to enroll, so it is impossible to reach this number in a year.

Even if you count transfer students, you are far from hitting this number.

"Don't worry, please listen to me tell you the reason."

Lin Zhengyang still said politely.

"I'd like to hear your explanation."

Clock Tower enrollment has begun, and soon its unusualness will be noticed by the outside world.

After all, in Britain, where the total number of wizards does not exceed 10,000, more than 700 wizards suddenly appeared, which is not a trivial matter that can be ignored.

"Well, we expanded on the basis of modern magic, discovered the mystery of magic circuits, and discovered that everyone has this closed magic circuit. As long as you find a reasonable way to turn it on, then everyone can awaken their magic and become a wizard. ”

"Based on this theory, we have further explored the mysteries of magic and developed a series of groundbreaking new magic, which we call the Clock Tower Magic System, which will dramatically change the way people think about magic."

"With advanced mathematics, physics, calculus, we developed the arcane; The ancient bloodline magic has been reborn in the hands of the professor outside, restoring the bloodline warlock inheritance buried in the most historical history; With the discovery, inheritance and restoration of the magic net, we have studied the method of using the magic net to cast spells, and thus the mage school emerged; A sage from the desert who has brought us a revelation of the stars, another lost magical civilization that has brought new ideas·············"

Professor Lin used the art of indoctrination, spitting lotus flowers from his mouth, invisibly invading the poor Ministry of Magic staff's mind, and unwittingly weaving a large net to catch the poor little fish.

After this wave of brainwashing magic is over, the person in front of him will become a staunch supporter of the clock tower, as the inner line of the clock tower, and constantly pass on the news of the Ministry of Magic.

"Chris, would you like to join us?"

"I do!"

"Are you willing to devote yourself to this great cause, to promote change in the wizarding world, and to do so at the expense of your wife and children, and your friends?"

"I do!"

"Are you willing to bring us more education grants for the good of the world?"

"All appropriations should belong to the Clock Tower! Hogwarts must close! Backward education methods must be reformed! ”

Chris stood up and waved his hands excitedly.

"We will win! For great causes! Revolution! Revolution! ”

He roared hoarsely.

"Another ··········· has been successfully saved"

Lin Zhengyang looked indifferently.

Chris wasn't the first, and never will be the last.

"Recently, there have been more and more people watching near the clock tower·······

··············

The moonlight shone on the sea, and a few stars were scattered in the sky, gently blowing with a cold breeze.

Behind a huge black rock that protrudes from the sea is a steep cliff that plummets straight down, black and blurry to see.

Here you can hear the sound of the waves and smell the sea.

This is a relatively remote place near a small seaside town that is not very prosperous.

When Tom was a child, he was adopted by the government-run welfare home, which organizes outings several times a year.

With government funding, it's already a good place to visit.

It was here that young Tom met his first love, a girl as elegant and beautiful as a tulip.

Therefore, this place is especially cherished by him.

He engraved the ancient magic he knew little by little in the way of writing ancient magic words.

At the same time, it is also a laboratory for him, conducting all kinds of dangerous dark magic research.

After being injured, he immediately shook off the old glass's hands and hid here.

He believed that the old guy would not be able to come and follow him in person for the time being, because he had deliberately made a lot of noise when he left, especially since the officials of the Ministry of Magic were also present.

The entrance is quite hidden, and there is powerful anti-detection magic that even wizards like Dumbledore can easily trace.

Add to that the mess at Hogwarts itself, and the basilisk was hidden by Tom's orders, and maybe it will be used again in the future.

Dumbledore had to stay at the school and deal with a series of complicated procedures, not bothering a student who was going to transfer to another school of witchcraft and wizardry.

"Damn Dumbledore··········"

The boy gasped and gritted his teeth as he applied himself a strange semi-coagulated potion.

He leaned against the corner of the cavern, a strange charred scar on his left arm, bleeding all the time, caused by a spell he had blocked while fighting.

Applying medicine to a wound was not a pleasant thing to do, especially since the potion didn't seem to be so symptomatic.

But there was no way, he could only stay in this place where the ancient magic had been arranged in his early years, which would ensure that he would not fall into the hands of that old glass again.

The scorching pain, accompanied by the hissing of the snakes, a black smoke swirled up from the contact of the wound, forming a small snake with a skull head and spitting fangs, as if it were alive, the smoke writhed, and soon slowly dissipated.

It's an ingenious piece of magic, a classic of Tom's Potions.

The effect was surprisingly good, and the smoke disappeared completely, taking away the scars caused by the spell, except for a tattoo of the symbol of a snake and a skull with fangs spitting on his left forearm.

"I'll keep this trace, Dumbledore·········· I will always remember what you have given me, and I will repay it tenfold in the future. ”

The boy's handsome face was so thick that it could not be dissolved, and there was a sinister aura, which made him look a little like a poisonous snake.

"Where do I go without Hogwarts?"

The three most prestigious schools in Europe, Hogwarts in the United Kingdom, Beauxbatons in France, and Durmstrang in Northern Europe, are now facing closure at Hogwarts, and many of his classmates have already transferred to the other two.

But for Tom, who has no family and no connections, it can't be said that it is hopeless to transfer to the latter two schools, but it is obviously not easy in the short term.

"I've heard that there are eleven schools in the world, but almost no one in the UK knows about them, and the wizarding world is too closed. It's impossible to find just the name, the magic school is a key area of focus for the Ministry of Magic in a region, and any wizard with suspicious appearance will be arrested as a murderer, not to mention the fact that the various regions are closed to each other, so I don't even know their admissions criteria now. ”

Not for the first time, Tom hated the closed-mindedness, xenophobia, and lack of information in the wizarding world.

"Am I going to give up magic and live like a Muggle, work hard for ten or twenty years, and become the scum of British high society?"

He thought so, wandering unconsciously in place, remembering his footsteps in the cavern.

There was no lighting in the cave, only some moonlight shining through the hole, which seemed a little dark, but it didn't seem to have any effect on him, and the shadows made him feel like a fish in water.

At this age, he possessed advanced magic that could only be mastered by ordinary adult wizards, but it was all based on the vast collection of books at Hogwarts, the unique teachings of the professors, the precious and secret magic books in the forbidden area, and his own diligent and unremitting efforts, and finally the so-called talent.

But now that he is out of Hogwarts, it will be difficult for him to gain access to more esoteric magical knowledge.

After all, who else but a school of witchcraft and wizardry like Hogwarts would pass on their magic to others?

In the wizarding world, every magic is precious.

Not only are the magic books sold in bookstores expensive, but they are often abridged versions that have been castrated by the Ministry of Magic, and even then, it is difficult to find any value.

Those truly valuable magic books are firmly controlled and will never easily enter the market.

If you want to gain advanced magical knowledge, you can either join those families or work for the Ministry of Magic, and if you don't choose either, you can only mix in the gray realm and deal with dark wizards.

"I needed a job first, and I remember that the shop in Diagonal Alley was famous, and I thought there might be a lack of staff."

He had come into contact with Boginbock, where he could get his hands on advanced magic books, black magic items, and even dragon eggs that were banned by the Ministry of Magic.

Working there, he will definitely be able to learn more about magic, and that is what he is all about.

Just as Tom was pondering his next steps in life, he heard a strange "beep-beep" sound, like the sound of many bubbles bursting at the same time.

"Who?"

Tom clenched his wand and leaned low against the rock wall, slowly approaching.

"Could it be a house-elf? Or some other magical creature? ”

Tom wondered in his mind.

Most of the magic here is directed at human wizards, and there is nothing that can be done about the apparition of house-elves.

Because many magical creatures have subtle differences in the way their magic works from humans, it is difficult for many of the restricted spells developed for humans to work on them.

The most typical example is that Hogwarts protections prohibit apparition, but house-elves are still free to do so.

When we reached the entrance hall, a simple platform was carved out.

Here he saw a young man, dressed in oriental service, lying there unconscious.
