Chapter 21: Hello, Dumbledore

Hogwoods is a very large castle in Josh's eyes, with a beautiful view of the mountains and lakes in the back. However, the shape of this castle, Josh feels very much like the churches he met along the way, but think about it, the most beautiful building in the era when Hogwoods was built is probably the church, and it is very normal to refer to it.

Hogwoods is quiet, especially at night. Fireflies dance in the wind, owls fly freely in the sky, and there are all kinds of strange animal calls in the distant forest, which is particularly fascinating.

The candles floating in the sky illuminated the way forward for the visitors, and the three of them slowly rowed towards Hogwoods in a small boat, not to mention that Josh liked the environment here, and he was even thinking about whether to get the architectural blueprint here, that is, the design drawing, and then go back and build one himself?

To be rich is to be capricious, not to mention that Josh has a mine - just because he has no money in the territory doesn't mean he can't ask his dad for it.

And he tosses and turns in his own territory, and no one cares about him, so of course it's how to get it if he's comfortable, Galen also likes this kind of environment Although this is a magic academy, but such a calm and peaceful environment will be liked by anyone.

"What do you think I'll build one myself when I get back?" Josh touched his chin and turned to Galen to ask. "It looks really good here, and I think it would work well if I changed my castle to something like this."

"I also think it should work well." Gai Xian nodded of course, Josh is a prince, he doesn't think Josh will be incapable of renovating his castle at all, even if Josh has no money, he can use his lord's rights to call serfs to work for free, of course, this is not a good thing.

"What are you talking about?" Crouch paddled and heard the conversation between the two guys, and almost drove himself into the lake, what the hell? Build your own castle modeled after Hogwoods? Who the hell are these two?

"Nothing, just thinking about something later. Speaking Crouch, do you know any great architects who can design buildings like Hogwoods? Or, well, do you know who the Hogwoods blueprints are usually kept in? ”

"How do I know this?" Crouch said weakly. "Maybe you can ask Professor Dumbledore, they're the school's administrators. And I'm just a student! ”

Crouch was really by Josh, and they didn't know what to say. Is a castle said to be built? Completely disregarding anything else? For example, the amount of gold spent, such as having a large enough plot, etc.? Well, Crouch already has no idea what to say.

"Maybe that's the difference between the nobles and me? But did they run away from home? Otherwise, how could you go to Hogwoods as a teacher to make money? Crouch was full of questions, but he didn't say anything, he had been hit badly enough.

Josh and Galen were talking nonsense, and Crouch was rowing silently, and soon they were on the shore, and they only needed to walk a little way forward to see the gates of Hogwoods School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Josh went ashore and felt that the place was so strong that Josh believed that there was no modern communication in it.

There was also a spell covering the entire house, which Josh guessed was Muggle banishment and psychedelic charms. Because this can better prevent Muggles from breaking in by mistake, I have to say that the wizarding world in this world is really a bit jaw-dropping, as if they are afraid of being discovered by others.

But this is a problem in this world, and Josh can't control it at all and doesn't plan to care about it. Anyway, it's just a passerby for him, and of course, if this world can be his back garden, he doesn't mind giving it a good makeover. The premise is that Josh can do it and has enough people to help him.

Arriving at the gate of Hogwoods, Josh and Galen took a good look, and the iron gate was carved with some intricate runes. The years had not rusted them, but rather brightened them, and even though Josh didn't know what the runes meant, he knew that they were defensive type things.

"There's a motto at Hogwoods, Draco dormiens nunquam titillandus, which means never tease a sleeping dragon."

A voice came from behind the gate, and then the iron door of Hogwoods slowly opened, and an old man with white hair and even a white beard, wearing a mage robe, walked out. Behind him was a very old-looking, serious-looking, glasses-wearing, and black dress.

Of course, the two Josh knew each other, one was Dumbledore, the headmaster of Hogwoods, and the other was McGonagall, the headmaster. Actually, Josh wondered why they were still in school during the holidays, and they didn't have to go home? But Josh thinks this is the real principal, and he completely treats the school as his home.

"Welcome from afar, I'm Albus Dumbledore, Headmaster of Hogwoods, my closest friend and Deputy Headmaster of the school, Minerva McGonagall. It's a pleasure to meet you, and thank you so much, Mr. Edward, for bringing guests from afar to Hogwoods. ”

Dumbledore's words were very level, and he welcomed Josh first, and they also thanked Crouch at the same time. You must know that there are so many students at Hogwoods, and he can immediately remember Crouch's last name, which shows that he really invested a lot in this school.

Although Josh has never seen anyone say that he has a black belly or something, and he agrees with this opinion, these cannot deny the old man's dedication to this school. That's really a lifetime of contributing to this school, even if it means death.

Well, Josh thinks a little too much. He quickly smiled and politely responded, "My name is Josh, and this is my companion Galen." I'm glad you took time out of your busy schedule to meet with our Professor Dumbledore and, of course, Professor McGonagall. ”

"Of course." Dumbledore blinked and waited for Josh to continue to introduce himself, but Josh was also smiling and waiting for Dumbledore's next step.

β€œ.......”

"Idiot!" Galen covered his eyes, he really couldn't stand it anymore, and as a direct result, Josh's words continued: "My name is Galen Crownguard, and his full name is Josh Augustus. And glad to meet you, Lord Dumbledore. ”

β€œ......”

Josh looked at Galen and then at Dumbledore in embarrassment, and then he realized that he had lost so badly. In fact, this can't be blamed on him, he has never been out of the Augustan Empire in the Muya Continent, or he has always lived in the circle of people he knows. So he didn't need to introduce himself at all, and he finally said his surname once when he was threatening Galen.

"Crownback? Augustus? "Dumbledore is a little confused, the Crownguards? It sounds like a king's bodyguard, but it seems that there are no kings in Europe now, and even if there are, they are kings without power. As for Augustus? Dumbledore seems to have a Roman king named Augustus I in his memory, could it be that these two guys are Italians?

"I'm sorry, please forgive me for my ignorance, I haven't heard of these two families. Do you have any plans for coming to Hogwoods? ”

Dumbledore, who really couldn't figure it out, smiled directly and apologized, in fact, what he was most worried about was whether these two guys were close to Voldemort, and if so, then it would be a bit of trouble. Pure-blood nobles and mixed-blood wizards have always had contradictions, and if even foreign nobles are involved, then it will really be a headache for him.

"Actually, we're going to live in Hogwoods for a while, or maybe I'm going to hire a teacher here." Josh was very direct about his thoughts, but he immediately noticed Dumbledore's expression, and after thinking about it a little bit in the light of the original book, he probably guessed what this guy was thinking.

So Josh said disdainfully: "Don't think about Professor Dumbledore, are you worried about your student, now called Voldemort?" Don't worry, I don't have a good impression of this guy, and can I take your mental power back, it's rude to do this, if I accidentally fight back, I don't think you will feel good. ”

".....," Dumbledore laughed wryly, and immediately collected his mental power.

Josh knew what Dumbledore was worried about, so he didn't respond to Dumbledore's attempt to explore his mind with mental power, just a warning. He couldn't see anything anyway, because Josh already knew what Dumbledore's strength really wasβ€”the third order.

Like Galen, they are all third-order, which is good news for Josh. Because Josh is a fourth-order and his magic is very weird, even if Dumbledore is very experienced, he can't stand the gap in rank, and there is the gap in magic power.

One is old and frail, the other is full of energy, and even Josh can take down Dumbledore without using magic - pure bullying.

"Forgive my presumptuous Mr. Augustus, I'm just worried. In England, that guy has been a threat to the wizarding world, and the theories he promotes can easily attract pure-blood nobles, so I'll have to be careful. If there is any offense, I sincerely hope to receive your forgiveness. ”

Dumbledore apologized very sincerely, of course, the main reason was that he saw his opponent! This is incredible, you must know that he is already at the peak of the wizarding world, even if he is old and his energy begins to decline, but his magic power is still growing, but this means that it directly breaks his cognition.

"When did such a young man actually stand at such a height, it was terrible and incredible. No wonder Mr. Olidevan wrote to me in a hurry, telling me to be careful. It turned out that his perception was completely correct. ”

The reason why Dumbledore was waiting for Josh here was because Olidevan told them in advance, Dumbledore didn't believe it at first, magic is completely increased by time and talent, how can it be possible to have deep magic at a young age.

But now he had to believe that such a monster really appeared in the world, and now Dumbledore was very confused. However, Josh's next sentence made him even more confused, and he even wondered if it was because of his ear problem or Josh's broken brain.
