"Let's go to the dormitory first, the new students are coming in the evening, and I can't miss this celebration." After Zhu Kunming finished speaking, he followed Filch away, leaving Professor McGonagall with an unhappy face.

"Head Dumbledore, his origin is unknown! Is it really good for us to do this? McGonagall looked at the departing Zhu Kunming, and she didn't know what was wrong with her, she just felt uncomfortable looking at Zhu Kunming.

"Look at this!" Dumbledore said, pulling out a small red crystal ball from his bosom.

"Truth ball!" Looking at the ball in front of her, McGonagall couldn't help but whisper.

Dumbledore looked at the red ball in his hand, played with it for a while, and then put it back in his arms, and said; "The ball of truth can distinguish lies, although the effect is not as good as that of spitting out the truth, but it is also very magical. And after Professor Zhu agreed to my conditions, I tested it with the ball of truth and found that he was not lying. ”

"Dean, the mantra ball is only a simple test, and it can't be accurate." Professor McGonagall shook her head, deciding that Dumbledore's approach was too hasty.

"Don't worry too much, I don't think he has any ill intentions. And it's just malice, do you think it's useful for us to reject him? Dumbledore pointed to the flattened mountain and sighed; I can't do this kind of magical killing, and with him right under our noses, we can better grasp his movements. In this way, no matter what he wants to do or what he intends to do, we can know and prevent it in the shortest possible time. ”

"Professor McGonagall, you're an old man in the Academy, too. You must know that the enemy hiding in the shadows is always more terrifying than the enemy standing in the light, and the current Professor Zhu has no possibility of conflict with us. Dumbledore said, glaring toward the location of the Forbidden Forest. It's as if you've seen everything through layers of obstacles.

Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is nestled in the mountains, backed by a forbidden forest. The academy itself was built on a cliff, so there was no other way to the outside world except for the inland lake directly in front of it. It is also because of the ease of defense and difficulty of attacking Hogwarts that in the entire wizarding world, Hogwarts is known as the four safe places along with the Goblin Bank, the Wizard's Headquarters, and Azkaban Prison, and is a well-known safe place.

However, what outsiders don't know is that in the more than 2,000 years of Hogwarts history, more than one-fifth of the successive heads of the school were killed in the Warcraft riot in the forbidden forest. This casualty ratio has never been reduced since the founding of Hogwarts, and this is why Hogwarts is here.

For Dumbledore, the Mysterio was nothing compared to the dangers posed by the Warcraft Rebellion. After all, although the mysterious man is powerful, if he wants to say that he is the best in the world, Dumbledore will not believe it first. Because in Dumbledore's hundreds of years, he had seen too many strong men. In his opinion, these powerhouses are like the little-known Professor Zhu, hidden in all corners of the world, who has spent his whole life exploring the mysteries of magic, and is not known to the outside world at all.

"People say that I and the mysterious man are the strongest in the wizarding world, but compared to those wizards who break the limits of life, and the holy beasts in the forbidden forest, what is the strength of me and the mysterious man! Hehe, maybe it's because our strength is not the top that we are famous! ”

"Professor McGonagall is good, but she's too narrow-minded. Maybe in the eyes of those really strong people, we are as ridiculous as the monkey king who doesn't know the depths! Dumbledore smiled bitterly in his heart and looked in the direction in which Zhu Kunming had disappeared.

In this way, as the night slowly fell, small boats with lanterns gradually appeared on the surface of the originally calm lake. And Zhu Kunming was standing in his tutor's dormitory on the tower, quietly staring at the red lights outside, waiting for the new students once a year.

Hogwarts Castle is divided into seven floors, the first of which is a large hall dedicated to banquets. The second floor is the student dormitory, which is used for students from grades 1 to 7. The third floor is the teaching building, which has laboratories for students to provide knowledge. The fourth floor is the residence of the tutors of the college, where dozens of tutors from various disciplines live. The fifth floor is the library, which has the most comprehensive collection of books in the wizarding world. The sixth floor was Dumbledore's office with the four school heads. The seventh floor is a forbidden place, which houses all kinds of secrets since the establishment of the school, and prohibits students from entering.

This time, the place where the new students were received was placed in the large hall on the first floor. The flags of the four major branches were hung everywhere in the auditorium, and there was no magically simulated starry sky on the ceiling at the top. Under the starry sky, hundreds of students of all grades of the academy sat on either side of the long table, and thousands of candles hanging in the air above their heads kept floating and emitting bursts of bright light.

Dumbledore sat on the main seat of the high platform, smiling at the students below. The seats of the four deans followed Dumbledore and sat alongside Zhu Kunming, an honorary professor. In addition to these Hogwarts executives, the instructors in charge of different disciplines also sat on either side of the high platform, looking at the new students below.

Seeing that the students and instructors had arrived, Dumbledore smiled at Zhu Kunming and nodded, then stood up and walked to the lectern between the students and the high platform.

"Hello new students, I'm Dumbledore, Head of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. I am honored to be here with all of you to work for the prosperity of the wizarding world. Dumbledore stood on the podium and took the trouble to say his annual opening remarks. White.

As Dumbledore spoke at length, the new students underground listened attentively. However, unlike the new students, the senior students and the instructors on the stage, who have listened to it countless times, showed a lack of interest in this opening statement, which is the same every year.

Looking at the sleepy senior underground, Dumbledore shook his head helplessly, and then tapped the podium a few times, so that everyone's eyes were focused on him again.

Dumbledore looked at the lazy cadets below and spoke again; "When I see the way you look, I know you're tired of my old man's tirades. Well, I'm going to talk to you about the interesting things today. ”

"Interesting thing!" Listening to Dean Dumbledore's words, not only the students below pricked up their ears attentively, but even the instructors on the high platform sat upright one by one, waiting for Dumbledore's next words.
