Professor McGonagall gave a brief introduction to the new students with a serious face, and even if it was dry and uninteresting, the children who had just arrived at the new place still listened with relish.

Of course, excluding Kane, he only maintained basic listening etiquette, and what he really paid attention to was actually the scenery around him.

A blazing brazier hangs under the carved crossbars of the stone wall, and the walls and floor are all shale, with a slightly reddish yellowish hue, and obvious cracks and broken layers.

The material and color are very unpleasant to Kane, as if it is forever sprinkled with a layer of sand, dirty.

Influenced by the modern cutting-edge industrial technology system, he is somewhat clean, and prefers bluestone, basalt, and marble in terms of stones, which can clean up the effect.

And like Hogwarts, it will make him feel like he is living in a cave in the dirt, a wood house, or even a cave in the sand.

"Now, I have more reasons to renovate this place, and that's a sense of ownership, right?" he thought to himself.

Concluding with a brief explanation of the basic rules, Professor McGonagall led the freshmen into the auditorium, which also serves as the dining room.

The auditorium has two doors, the main entrance and the corner door, which is the back door.

The corner door is in the corner of the rectangular hall and is the gateway to the high platform, on which a table is placed horizontally for the faculty.

Under the high platform, all the way to the main entrance, there are four long tables arranged vertically, each representing a branch.

The main entrance is a sturdy and gorgeous bronze door with intricate patterns.

Bronze is a material Kane is familiar with.

The color of the finished product is like gold, bright and gorgeous. Only after a long period of lack of maintenance will it turn black and give birth to a grayish-green patina.

The bronze door in front of me is a typical example of being too old, the whole is bleak, and there are mottles in many places. Literary and artistic can make people feel the precipitation of time and the layering of years.

As for the decorative objects in the hall, the situation is similar to this door, and it is all set off by the light of the lights, which makes it look magnificent and wonderful.

Kane noticed the sculptures of the Quadrant Heraldic Beasts lined up on the east and west gables, which were used to hang braziers like poles, and were very representative magical devices.

Immediately, he looked at the thousands of candles in the air, and also noticed the fluctuation of mana.

"Wait, this is ......"

Kane pouted slightly, among the founders of Hogwarts, there are also bad tasters who play this kind of reverse thinking trick.

If he was not mistaken, these magic candles contained a transcendent substance that is precious in the multiverse, the soul crystal, which is the main ingredient for the creation of the soul lamp.

The lamp of the soul is easier to understand in terms of oriental metaphysics: the lamp of the soul is the fire of life.

When people die, the lights go out, and they are closely related, and what can make the two form this kind of transcendent connection is the soul crystal.

He was still thinking just now that the real Hogwarts was as quiet and dilapidated as an ancient tomb, relying on playing with light and shadow effects to support the scene and bluff children.

As a result, people slapped him in the face with soul crystal candles: just holding a golden bowl and pretending to be poor, why don't you accept it?

On the high platform, Dumbledore stroked his beard and smiled, Kane's expression in his eyes, and he roughly guessed Kane's mood at this time.

"Hogwarts, there's still some background. ”

To be honest, it can make Kane's snack deflated, and Dumbledore is still happy to see it. He knew very well that what Kane lacked now was the accumulation of years, and this was exactly what Hogwarts had.

Hogwarts has a long history, and compared to the weight of this time, even he, the headmaster, is just a young man with too many secrets that he still doesn't know.

He asked himself how much he felt more about Hogwarts than anyone else of his time.

Hogwarts is becoming more and more dilapidated due to various objective factors, and he sees it in his eyes and is anxious in his heart.

But this kind of thing, it's useless to be in a hurry. The cost of repairing Hogwarts would be astronomical, regardless of technology.

Since two years ago, Dumbledore has been considering whether the Shafiq family can participate in the renovation project.

At the time, under the guidance of a professional advisor who was well versed in Muggle economics, he thought about it like this:

First, through crowdfunding, get a sum of money, and then invest it in the MONOCULUS Chamber of Commerce.

Of course, this is taking advantage, the Demon Eye Chamber of Commerce is not short of funds, how many people are waving checkbooks, crying and shouting that they want to get on other people's big boats.

He put out his old face and played the card of 'alma mater' again, and he still had a certain degree of success.

After that, relying on the dividends of the shares, the bulk of the repair money was available.

Although the renovation is costly, it does not require a full payment, so as long as there is a stable and significant source of income, the project can be started.

As for the technical side, Hogwarts professors alone are not enough.

His plan is to play a dozen of the favor cards he has accumulated over the years, prepare for the usual work, and repair it in three months during the summer vacation, believing that he will be able to complete the project in 5-7 years.

However, the reality was much more skinny than he expected, and the renovation project was stuck at the school board before the crowdfunding process.

The school trustees formed a delegation, pretended to tour and evaluate, and finally rejected the proposal to be led by them to engage in crowdfunding on the grounds that there were no major safety risks.

Last year, the MONOCULUS Chamber of Commerce was booming in the field of magical architecture, and he secretly assessed to himself that the MONOCULUS Chamber of Commerce was strong enough in terms of technology.

Sure enough, whether it is the 'summer residence' of the Shafiq family, the fir manor in Hogsmeade, or several different types of private mansions and manors built for the United States, Germany, and France, they all reflect a high level of professionalism and are highly praised.

This made the idea of renovating Hogwarts come alive again.

"The technical strength is also there, the main thing is the lack of money. ”

No matter where the money comes from, it must be right to win over the Shafiq family.

So from then on, Dumbledore had already decided that Kane must be recruited into Hogwarts.

At the time, he didn't know that Kane was the reincarnation of an ancient wizard and possessed Su Hui. But he at least knew that there must be capable people behind the Shafiq family.

He also knew that the other party's style of acting was ruthless, causing many wizards and magical creatures walking in the darkness to sink into the sand in Nozawa Garden, and there were many strong people he met who might not be able to forcibly leave behind.

Undoubtedly, this is a dangerous signal, which means that the Shafiq family is not easy to provoke, whether it is an opposition or an alliance, it is easy to get into trouble.

In this case, the wisest option is to leave immediately, and most people do that.

He also thought more than once about how to get along with the Shafiq family. After all, his identity is relatively sensitive, and if he gets too close to any family, he is easy to be beaked and even criticized.

However, after a recent visit to the Shafiq family, he changed his mind.

He decided to go through Hogwarts and tie Kane deeply.

To put it simply, the more Kane invested in Hogwarts, the deeper his bond with Hogwarts became.

Then as the principal, he can provide Kane with additional permissions, and he has secretly decided that as long as Kane does not break the bottom line, he can toss as much as he wants.

For this reason, just yesterday, he had a brief conversation with the professors, gave them vaccinations, and told them that Kane Shafiq is very likely to perform amazingly, and he should be calm and reserved.

As a result, I received a quick message at noon today, and the dark forces committed murder at King's Cross Station, and encountered an even more murderous Kane, and the only living mouth was cut into a human being.

It is conceivable that at this moment, the professors who maintain at least decent manners are very curious about Kane Shafiq.

Even Snape, who had always been haughty, glanced at Kane, who was standing further forward and was significantly taller than the other eleven-year-olds.

The sorting ceremony had begun, and when it was his turn to save the two teenagers, Kane paid special attention to the skinny monkey named Wayne Schiller, who was sorted into Gryffindor. And Chubby Dun is called Bobby Lampard and goes to Hufflepuff.

It should have been deliberately adjusted, and he was placed last.

The young wizards of his age were not particularly outstanding, only a few of them, and received half of the praise without pain.

And what about him? Not only did the professors and wizard apprentices want to know what the Sorting Hat thought of him, but he himself was very interested.

You must know that as the master of the swarm, he used to work part-time as a psyker, and his attainments in mental power are not comparable to most wizards in this world who have not even successfully practiced the Occlumency Technique.

He has the ability to weigh and weigh, how divine is this magical creation of Hogwarts......
