Chapter 51: The Magic Guild
The next day, Lucius arrived at Hogwarts, had a secret conversation with Weston, and then left with a smile on his face.
Dumbledore kept asking Weston what was going on, but Weston just smiled and didn't tell him what was actually going on. This made Dumbledore frown all the time.
Pure-blood families weren't going to stop just because Dumbledore didn't understand what was going on. In order to prevent Dumbledore from interfering, they instead sped up their movements.
Money, land, ......
Within a month, a castle was built. The location is just about five kilometres outside the village of Hogsmeade. It was originally a wasteland.
On the day of its completion, the pure-blood family jointly applied to the Ministry of Magic to establish a new organization called the Magic Guild.
The business of the Magic Guild seems to be very simple, it is to certify the level of wizards, and different wizards will issue different badges.
There are seven levels of wizard apprentice, low-level wizard, intermediate wizard, high-level wizard, great wizard, heroic wizard, and holy wizard, and each level is divided into three levels: low, medium, and high.
Then, the pure-blood family jointly stated that only wizards who have passed the certification of the Magic Guild are allowed to buy things of the corresponding level in their own stores.
For example, if you are an apprentice wizard, you can only buy some basic spellbooks and some basic materials in addition to wands, such as Standard Spells: Elementary, and more advanced ones, even Standard Spells: Intermediate.
At the same time, the Magic Guild also provides the certification of potions, herbalists, doctors, alchemists and other professions, the same level as the wizard level certification, and invites leaders in various industries to join the Magic Guild.
Finally, the Magic Guild has also established a mercenary system, that is, all wizards can be certified as mercenaries and receive tasks at the Magic Guild's task collection office, as their own profession, according to the completion of the task, set the mercenary level, and low-level mercenaries cannot receive high-level tasks.
Although the mercenary system has been opposed by most people, some special wizards are very much in favor of it, and praise this behavior, such as the werewolf wizard!
Werewolf wizards are a very special group in the wizarding world, they all have great power, but they are extremely unpopular, which is why most werewolf wizards are always underfed. And the mercenary system can be regarded as a boon for them.
Of course, it is not only the werewolf wizards who are affected, but all walks of life have been affected to varying degrees, in short, the whole of Britain is about to be in chaos.
According to an unknown Auror at the Ministry of Magic, Minister Fudge has been smashing at least three cups a day lately, and his face has not been good for a day. On the contrary, Director Crouch has been in a good mood lately.
Regardless of everyone's attitude, the Magic Guild has been established!
On the day the magic guild was established, a large group of wizards went to certify the wizard level, and at this time, people were pleasantly surprised to find that in addition to the wizard apprentice, there was also a gold gallona that had certified the wizard level, and learned that they could come and receive it every year!
The reputation of the magic guild has become even louder, for three days in a row, the people of the guild have not rested, there are too many wizards who need to be certified, even if there is no change of people every day, there is still a long queue in front of the guild.
After Dumbledore learned this, he sighed, knowing that the rise of the pure-blood family was already irrepressible, so he had to secretly suffer this dumb loss.
"Is that what you want to see, Weston?" Dumbledore looked at the still green face in front of him with some annoyance.
"No, that's just the first step!" Weston shook his head and said calmly.
Dumbledore's face sank completely, and he asked in a cold voice, "What the hell do you want to do?!" ”
"It's easy!" Weston stood by the window of the headmaster's office, looking at the faint queue, and whispered, "I just want to make progress in the wizarding world!" ”
"Progress?" Dumbledore raised his eyebrows, a hint of sarcasm on his face, which was quite rare for him.
"Yes, it's progress!" Weston nodded, then turned abruptly, his black eyes staring at those blue eyes, "Professor, do you know how long it has been since the wizarding world hasn't changed much?" ”
Dumbledore didn't expect Weston to ask such a question, and he didn't answer it for a while.
"Don't know? Then I'll tell you! It's been 300 years! Weston held out three fingers and said earnestly.
"The spells or potions created in three hundred years are not even as many as they have been in the previous fifty years!" Weston said loudly.
Dumbledore was silent.
Weston didn't stop: "You know, Professor, the wizarding world is supposed to be thriving! However, I don't know why, the wizarding world is like a stagnant water right now! ”
"Maybe it's because there is no war, so the entire wizarding world has no motivation, maybe it's because wizards have been detached from things for too long!"
"Since the introduction of the Secrecy Act, there has been no progress in the wizarding world! That's not what we're supposed to be! ”
"So, I'm going to change, change this wizarding world like backwater!" A gleam flashed in Weston's eyes, "I don't want you to stop me, Professor!" ”
Dumbledore was silent, looking at Weston, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face: "Why didn't I stop you?" ”
Alas? Weston was a little confused.
Dumbledore slowly stood up and sighed, "Actually, I know more about the evils of the wizarding world! I knew this when I was younger! ”
"At that time, I was exposed to Muggles, and I was simply amazed at their creativity, so I always thought that we should treat Muggles well, so that we would have a way out!"
"It's a pity ......"
Dumbledore's eyes flashed with a glitter as he said this, and then quickly disappeared as he continued.
"You know what, Weston, you've changed so much!" Dumbledore said with a grin.
Weston was stunned.
"To be precise, I should have grown up!" Dumbledore took off his glasses and said slowly, "In the past, you always looked lazy, and you didn't seem to have any pursuit at all!" ”
"Now you're good!"
"You're not worried about me becoming the Dark Lord?" Weston pondered for a moment, and asked the pointed question.
"To be honest, not at all!" Dumbledore looked at him with a smile, "Simply put, you're lazy!" It's okay to let you study magic, but if you are given the right, I guess you won't be interested! How could someone who had no interest in power become the Dark Lord! ”
Just say I'm not worthy! Weston wanted to say that, but after thinking about it, he let go of his thoughts.
"Do what you want, kid!" Dumbledore sighed and said, "Even though I'm getting younger, I'm still old, not as energetic as young people!" ”
"Still, if I need my help, my old bones can still move!"
Heh, trying to trick me into tears? Weston gave him a disdainful look, pulled out a letter, and handed it to him......
