"That's it!"

Saw the whole conference room, because of the Darren?? Bock's criticism was noisy, and Clark, who felt that the heat was almost over, finally opened his mouth.

As soon as he spoke, the room suddenly fell silent, and the representatives of the school board of the several families all looked at him in unison.

"I know what you want," Clark said calmly, "but rules are rules, and if I open up to you, it will be unfair to the school directors who insisted on not divesting in the first place." ”

He glanced at the few people present, and the appearance of righteous words made them avoid their gaze with a weak heart.

"All of you here are Hogwarts trustees and family administrators, and you should know that if you don't punish you for doing something wrong, then the rules are useless.

Today you can ask to withdraw from the dragon farm project because of a change, and tomorrow others can also make other requests because of another situation, so can this project still be done? ”

Clark's words are well-founded, Theodore, who has just switched sides?? Aibo nodded repeatedly.

Seeing that Clark had finished speaking, George Ollivander also asked with great eyes.

"So, Mr. Prewitt, what do we have to do to allow us to return to the Dragon Farm project?"

Clark's fingertips tapped lightly on the table, making a dull sound of "tuk, tuk, tuk", which made the hearts of the school board representatives gradually lift.

Finally, just as they were about to run out of steam, Clark spoke.

"Originally, I decided to refuse to admit you back to the project, but for the sake of Uncle Lucius, Mr. Guffey, and Headmaster Dumbledore, I decided to give you a chance."

Several representatives breathed a sigh of relief, and Clark continued.

"Of course, the conditions for each of your families to return to this dragon farm project naturally cannot be the same as those of the Aibo family.

One thousand gold Galleons, you make up the refund you have to go back to before, and I will sell you your share of the shares. ”

Clark's words made the representatives of the families feel a twitch in their stomachs.

Make up the refund of the previous 500 gold galleons, and then pay another 1,000 gold galleons to buy the 10% of the project.

In this way, it means that they spent a total of 2,000 gold Galleons on the 10% stake in the project.

The same shares, the price was doubled, how could this not make their hearts ache.

Darren?? Seeing that the others were hesitating, Bock immediately seized the opportunity and yelled at Clark.

"Are you robbing? It's only been a few days, and the price has doubled, are you taking us for fools? The Bock family will not accept such unreasonable conditions! ”

His words shook the other three representatives, after all, the money was not a small amount.

However, Clark didn't care about it, he just looked at Darren?? Bock, sneered disdainfully.

"The condition I'm talking about doesn't include the Bock family, your family's 10% stake will be auctioned later."

After saying that, he also ignored Darren, who was so angry that he almost vomited blood?? Bock, looking at the remaining three representatives, "What about you, have you thought about it?" ”

The three representatives looked at each other, and finally it was George Ollivander who stepped forward, "If the three of us buy the shares again, can we participate in the auction of the shares of the Bock family again?" ”

Clark looked at Darren?? Bock smirked, "Of course. ”

As a result, there is no doubt that the representatives of the remaining three school trustees have also signed the reinvestment contract very decisively.

In this way, the Hogwarts Dragon Farm's fund account not only filled the gap, but also added 2,500 gold gallons.

The Puwitt family also successfully took advantage of this incident to establish a strong position in the school board of directors.

In addition, perhaps only the unstable factor of the Bock family has been completely excluded.

"You can't do that! You can't do that! "Darren?? Bock slumped in his chair and muttered to himself, eventually being ushered out of the room.

In exchange, their family's 10% of the project shares were naturally divided equally by the remaining 12.

After settling these heads, Clark returned to Hogwarts with Galleon.

After a period of suspension of work, the project of the dragon farm started again with the injection of funds.

And the last issue of the "Hogwarts School Magazine" this semester was also successfully released under Hermione's urging.

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets – that's the headline on the front page of the Hogwarts School Magazine.

Clark had promised Dumbledore not to reveal the gods, divinity, and Horcruxes, but he could still learn from Lockhart to make up stories.

Anyway, they were the only ones involved in the incident in the secret room, and after summing up with Professor Lockhart to make sure that there would be no conflict with the content of the other party's new book, Clark directly referred to the story of the original book and carried out his own artistic processing.

And with the two explosive points of "Secret Room" and "Harry Potter", their magazines also sold out directly, and even had to print thousands of copies in the end.

The last period of the second grade ended in this excitement.

In the blink of an eye, it was time for them to take the Hogwarts Express home.

Harry, Ron, Fred, George, and Ginny occupy a box alone.

They made the most of the last hours of magic allowed before the holidays, playing a few new magic decks, setting off the last few of Fred and George's laborious fireworks, and practicing with each other how to use magic to disarm each other's weapons.

After being tapped by Clark, Harry is now very proficient in this set of disarming charms.

Next door to them, Clark, Hermione, and Neville also occupy a separate box.

It's just that unlike Harry, the Clarkes don't waste their time on boring games.

"Neville, come to my house for the summer vacation, although the Gryffindor sword is not available for the time being, we also have a high-grade magic sword forged by goblins, I think it should be suitable for you as well."

Listening to Clark's words, Neville was not polite, but nodded calmly.

At this time, Hermione, who was sitting next to Clark, raised her head from her magic book and asked curiously, "Clark, I have always had a question. ”

Valley" said. ”

"You said earlier that Professor Lockhart decided to enter the Chamber of Secrets with you because of your persuasion. But in my opinion, he is not a man who can be persuaded by a few words. ”

"Hah! Ha! Ha! Clark laughed.

"Of course, he didn't believe what I was saying, in fact, I had already communicated with Professor Lockhart long before that. So what Harry and Ron saw at the time was just a scene. ”

"But how did you communicate with Professor Lockhart? Is it because he wrote a book to falsify? Hermione continued.

Clark shook his head, "That's not it, I don't like to use privacy to coerce others, and if I can agree on interests, why risk offending people and eventually having a repeat." ”

"Speak human words!" Hermione shouted in displeasure.

"It's Professor Lockhart's own mental state that has hidden dangers, and I happen to be very good at psychic spells, so we agreed that he would help me put on a play for Harry and them, and after the matter was completed, I would help him solve his mental problems."

After Clark finished speaking, Neville sat aside, recalled carefully, and said, "When you say that, when you were in the secret room, Professor Lockhart's reaction was indeed a bit strange. ”

"Mental hazards? What exactly is the problem? Hermione asked.

"This involves the negative effects of chaos magic."

Clark was about to educate them about this as well, so he said, "I remember telling you before that the reason why I helped you change classes is because there is a hidden danger in the magic of wizards themselves. ”

Hermione and Neville nodded.

"Actually, to be precise, the word chaos should be added in front of the word magic. Chaos magic, this is the source of wizards' power! ”

Clark leaned back on the couch, his tone drifting, but Hermione and Hermione listened more carefully to what Clark had to say, and they knew that now that they were free from the influence of magic, they might have a chance to see the secret behind it.

"The so-called chaotic one, formless, insubstantial, undivided, left and right, throughout the ages, refers to the state of confusion in which everything is one and not separated before the birth of the universe.

Of course, the wizard's chaotic magic naturally can't reach the state that goes straight to the root, but the meaning of chaotic magic is also obvious, it is a disordered, chaotic, and according to the wizard's mind, the power that can make things come true.

However, even this magical chaotic magic needs to follow the principle of occult equivalent exchange, but its exchange price is more subtle and less noticeable. ”

"Isn't it a loss of rational thinking?" Hermione asked curiously, she remembered that Clark had told her about it.

"No, the loss of reason, it's just the result of the wizard's use of chaos magic for a long time, it's not the reason."

"So what is it that causes this to happen?"

In response to Hermione's question, Clark explained, "It's the chaotic nature of Chaos magic, and the directive effect of magic, that has a permeating effect on the wizard's soul that causes this to happen. ”

"What?"

Faced with Clark's technical terminology, Hermione Neville was full of doubts.

"Chaos magic and Hermione's arcane magic you use today are two completely different powers. It is essentially disordered, and can pry the material world according to the will and spirit of the mage, resulting in many magical effects.

But the magic of chaos itself is disordered, and people's spiritual thinking is also whimsical and constantly changing.

If these two are superimposed, if left unchecked, what will happen in the end? ”

"Yes...... Doing magic in an unconscious state, such as when you have a nightmare? Hermione hesitated.

"Yes," Clark nodded, "that's what magic spells and Hogwarts are all about." ”

"People's spiritual consciousness is difficult to control, but it is also easy to be influenced.

The so-called difficult control is because in addition to the apparent consciousness that people show, there is also a hidden subconscious.

And the so-called easy to be influenced is also because ordinary people often have a stress reaction in the face of external stimuli.

And with these two characteristics, there is a place for magic spells. ”

For wizards, the sound of chanting spells and waving their wands is actually not magical, otherwise there would be no silent spell casting and wandless spell casting.

Their role is more to use a fixed sound and movement to adjust the wizard's mental thinking, so that it overlaps with the state when using a certain kind of magic, so as to successfully cast spells.

"Just like the radio? Spells and gestures are the knobs of frequency modulation, and only when the frequency is the same can the wizard's soul reach the state of casting spells, right? ”

Hermione's words made Clark pause, and this analogy is indeed very consistent.

"Pretty much." Clark nodded.

The so-called directional effect of magic is that through repeated chanting of spells and waving of wands, a habit is formed, so that the wizard's subconscious mind has a fixed link reaction to this behavior and results, so that the wizard subconsciously believes that as long as this step is completed, magic can be used.

The more convinced a wizard is of this kind of spell casting, the higher the success rate of spell casting, which is why learning magic begins with a young child's mindset.

Relying on this theory, wizards who want to go further in their spell-casting abilities need to not only believe in magic, but also develop the power of emotions.

That is, powerful wizards cast spells, not only to believe in the magic itself, but also to invest personal feelings and souls into this spell.

Just as the Enchantment Spell requires strong love, the Obstruction Charm needs to resist emotions, the Patronus Charm requires recalling happy things, and the Unforgivable Charm requires slow malice.

After listening to Clarke's story, Neville suddenly realized, "So my previous spell casting level was too poor, because I was too timid and cowardly, and my will was not strong enough to fully mobilize the magic of chaos." ”

"Yes," Clark nodded, "it's an effect of a wizard's mental consciousness on spellcasting ability, and Professor Lockhart's situation is the exact opposite of yours. ”

"You're not firm, you're not confident, and he's bragging too much, causing his mind to be too firm, too confident.

As I said earlier, the more a wizard believes in the effects of a spell, and the more he becomes emotionally invested in that spell, the more powerful that spell becomes.

If you rely on this theory, some means of self-hypnosis and self-psychological suggestion will become the fastest way for a wizard to improve his strength.

And that's exactly what Professor Lockhart did. ”
