Earth Immortal Righteous Path

Chapter 266 Attacking Tom (4000-word chapter please recommend)

It really is the world of "Harry Potter and the Gays"!
It turns out that the biggest reason for Tom's blackening as an adult is the "care" of gay Dumbledore?

This is really in line with the national conditions of the United Kingdom!

"Cough cough."

After clearing his throat, Lin Zhengyang changed the subject.

"I thought, maybe we can talk about the annual allocation of education funding, you know, maintaining such a large school is equivalent to burning money every day."

Chris also felt that something was wrong, he was here on official business, so he also put on a formulaic smile, and took out a document from his briefcase.

"Principal Lin, the Ministry of Magic has determined through research that you have the conditions to open a magic school, and believe that you have enough knowledge and accomplishment to teach excellent wizards."

Not everyone has the qualifications to open a magic school. The Ministry of Magic has a related assessment procedure for this. It generally depends on the person's strength and knowledge. It is impossible for some third-rate wizards to just run a cram school. A ridiculous situation for a self-proclaimed magic school.

You must know that the diploma issued by the magic school exam is common throughout Europe, which is an extra point for future job hunting.

The Ministry of Magic absorbs new blood from Hogwarts every year, first of all, the best wizards, those with the most certificates.

Now that Hogwarts is in a major crisis, it will not be able to continue to operate for some time in the foreseeable future.

In order to ensure that the talent pool will not run out, the Ministry of Magic will naturally turn its attention to other places before solving the troubles at Hogwarts.

For example, a new, powerful magic school.

Coincidentally, the Clock Tower was established not long ago, and its founder has a wide reputation in Asia, and is recognized as the wizard (monk) with the highest academic achievements in the past century.

This aroused the minister's interest, so he specifically ordered this exchange, the main purpose of which was to show the support of the Ministry of Magic...and to investigate.

"We have communicated with wizards in Asia, and they respect you very much... But I am personally curious, why don't you stay in your hometown and open a school? Of course, the UK is also a good place."

Lin Zhengyang did not speak on this issue, should he tell you that this is a task?

"Since the Ministry of Magic has assessed that my own level is qualified to open a school, I would like to know how much the Ministry of Magic is willing to pay?"

"Well, I'm not responsible for this."

Chris, a little embarrassed, smiled dryly.

"Then please bring me a letter, saying that the clock tower is short of funds and is about to close down. I implore——the Ministry will release the first batch of education funds as soon as possible."

Lin Zhengyang's words were fast and hurried, which made Mr. Chris a little stunned.

"Also, due to the large number of students here, the school's food supply funds are insufficient, and we need the support of the Ministry..."

"Wait, how many? How many students are there?"

Chris interrupts him to ask the question.

Hogwarts enrolls no more than 50 students each year, and evenly divided into each college, there are only a dozen people, so it can't be considered too many, right?
He subconsciously used Hogwarts' standards to measure the clock tower.

"Ah, this number, I think, seems to be 720, if I remember correctly."

"How many did you say?"

"760 people."

"This is impossible! You are blackmailing!"

Chris is surprisingly angry!

"That's eight hundred people, so let's count."

"The Ministry of Magic will never accept blackmail!"

Chris waved the briefcase in his hands, looking pissed off.

Obviously, according to the Hogwarts education system, only young wizards who have awakened their magical powers are allowed to enroll, so it is impossible to reach this number in one year.

Even counting the transfer students, it is still far below this number.

"Don't worry, please listen to me tell you the reason slowly."

Lin Zhengyang still said politely.

"I'd like to hear your explanation."

Enrollment for the Clocktower has begun, and soon its unusualness will be noticed by the outside world.

After all, in Britain where the total number of wizards does not exceed 700, more than [-] wizards suddenly appeared. This is not a trivial matter that can be ignored.

"It's like this. We have further expanded on the basis of modern magic, discovered the mystery of the magic circuit, and found that everyone has this closed magic circuit. As long as we find a reasonable way to open it, then everyone can Awaken magic to become a wizard."

"Based on this theory, we further explored the mysteries of magic power and developed a series of groundbreaking new magic, which we call the clock tower magic-magic system, which will greatly change people's inherent perception of magic."

"Using advanced mathematics, physics, and calculations, we have developed arcane art; the ancient blood magic has been reborn in the hands of outside professors, and the inheritance of blood warlocks buried in history has been restored; the discovery, inheritance and cooperation of the magic net Restoration, we have researched the method of using the magic net to cast spells, which led to the emergence of the school of mages; the sages from the desert brought us the revelation of astrology, and another lost magic civilization brought new ideas... ···········"

Professor Lin used the technique of enlightenment, spitting out lotus flowers, invisibly intruding into the heart of the poor Ministry of Magic employee, unknowingly weaving a big net, and catching this poor little fish.

After this wave of brainwashing magic is over, the person in front of him will become a staunch supporter of the clock tower, and as the insider of the clock tower, he will continuously pass on news from the Ministry of Magic.

"Chris, would you like to join us?"

"I am willing!"

"Are you willing to devote yourself to this great cause and promote the transformation of the magical world, and for this reason, you will not hesitate to abandon your wife and children, and your friends to turn against each other?"

"I am willing!"

"Would you like to bring us more funding for education for the good of the world?"

"All funding should belong to the Clock Tower! Hogwarts must be closed! Outdated educational methods must be reformed!"

Chris stood up, waving his hands excitedly.

"We will win! For a great cause! Revolution! Revolution!"

He roared hoarsely.

"Successfully transformed another..."

Lin Zhengyang watched indifferently.

Chris wasn't the first, and he won't be the last.

"Recently, there are more and more people watching around the clock tower..."

·············
The moonlight shone on the sea, and the sky was dotted with a few stars, blowing gently with a cold breeze.

Behind a huge black rock protruding from the sea is a steep cliff, falling straight down, so dark that it is impossible to see clearly.

Here you can hear the sound of the waves blowing and smell the breath of the sea.

This is a relatively remote location near a seaside town that is not very prosperous.

When Tom was a child, he was adopted by a government-run orphanage, and that orphanage organized several outings every year.

With the funds allocated by the government, this is already a good place to visit.

At that time, it was here that young Tom met his first love—a girl as elegant and beautiful as a tulip.

Therefore, this place is particularly cherished by him.

He engraved the ancient magic he knew on it bit by bit in the way of writing ancient magic characters.

At the same time, it is also one of his laboratories, where he conducts various dangerous black magic research.

After being injured, he immediately threw off Old Glass's hands and hid here.

He believed that the old guy couldn't come to follow him in person for the time being, because he made a lot of noise when he left, especially with the Ministry of Magic officials present.

The entrance here is quite hidden, and there are powerful anti-detection magic, even a wizard like Dumbledore can't easily track it.

Coupled with the mess of Hogwarts itself, the basilisk was ordered by Tom to hide it, and it might be used in the future.

Dumbledore had to stay at the school to handle a series of complicated procedures, and he couldn't embarrass a student who planned to transfer - when a considerable number of students chose to transfer to other schools of magic.

"Damn Dumbledore..."

The boy gasped, gritted his teeth and applied a strange semi-solidified potion to himself.

He was leaning in the corner of the stone cave, and there was a strange scorched black scar on his left arm, which was bleeding all the time, which was caused by blocking a spell during the fight.

It is not a pleasant thing to apply medicine to the wound, especially the potion does not seem to be so symptomatic.

But there is no way, he can only stay in this place where ancient magic was arranged in the early years, which can ensure that he will not fall into the hands of that old glass again.

Burning pain, accompanied by the hissing sound of snakes, a puff of black smoke spiraled from the contact point of the wound, forming a skull and a small snake with venomous fangs, as if alive, the smoke twisted, and soon slowed down. Dissipate slowly.

It's an ingenious piece of magic, Tom's classic in Potions.

The effect was surprisingly good, the smoke completely disappeared, taking away the scars caused by the spell, but leaving a tattoo of a snake with fangs and a skull on his left forearm.

"I will keep this trace, Dumbledore... I will always remember what you gave me, and I will repay you tenfold in the future."

On the boy's handsome face, there was an indelible gloom and evil spirit, which made him look a bit like a poisonous snake.

"Leaving Hogwarts, where should I go?"

The three famous schools in Europe, Hogwarts in the UK, Beauxbatons in France and Durmstrang in Northern Europe, now Hogwarts is facing suspension, and many of his classmates have already transferred schools and went to the other two schools. Family.

But for Tom, who has no family and no relationship, it cannot be said that he wants to transfer to the latter two schools. It cannot be said that there is no hope, but it is obviously not easy in the short term.

"I heard that there are eleven prestigious schools in the world, but almost no one in the UK knows about them. The magic world is too closed. It is impossible to find them just by knowing their names. Magic schools are the focus of the Ministry of Magic in a region. Pay attention to the area, any suspicious wizard will be arrested as a murderer, not to mention the mutual closure of various areas, so now I don't even know their admission criteria."

It wasn't the first time that Tom hated the closedness, exclusion, and lack of information in the wizarding world so much.

"Do I want to give up magic from now on, live like a Muggle, work hard for ten or twenty years, and become the scum of England's upper class?"

Thinking like this, he wandered in place unconsciously, recalling the sound of his footsteps in the cave.

There is no lighting in the cave, only the moonlight shining in from some hollows, making it look a little dark, but this doesn't seem to have any effect on him, instead, he is in the shadows like a fish in water.

At this age, he possesses advanced magic that ordinary adult wizards can master, but this is all based on the vast collection of books at Hogwarts, the unique teachings of the professors, the precious and secret magic books in the restricted area, and his My diligent and unremitting efforts are the so-called talent in the end.

But now that he left Hogwarts, it would be difficult for him to gain access to more profound magical knowledge.

After all, besides Hogwarts, who would teach their magic to others?

In the magic world, every magic is precious.

The magic books sold in bookstores are not only expensive, but are usually abridged versions castrated by the Ministry of Magic. Even so, it is difficult to find valuable ones.

Those truly valuable magic books are firmly controlled and will never easily flow into the market.

If you want to acquire advanced magical knowledge, you must either join those families or work for the Ministry of Magic. If you choose neither, you can only linger in the gray area and deal with dark wizards.

"I need a job first. I remember that the shop in Diagon Alley is very famous. I think there may be a lack of a clerk there."

He had been in contact with Bojinbok, where he could get a lot of advanced magic books, black magic props, and even dragon eggs that were banned by the Ministry of Magic.

Working there, he must be able to learn more magic knowledge, which is his purpose.

Just when Tom was thinking carefully about his next life plan, he heard a strange "beep beep beep", as if many bubbles burst at the same time.

"Who?"

Tom clenched the wand in his hand, leaned against the rock wall, leaned over, and slowly approached.

"Could it be a house-elf? Or some other magical creature?"

Tom wondered in his mind.

Most of the magic here is aimed at human wizards, and it is temporarily powerless against the apparition of house elves.

Because the magic operation methods of many magical creatures are slightly different from those of humans, this makes it difficult for many restricted magic developed for humans to work on them.

Typical of this is Hogwarts' protections against disapparation, but house-elves are still free to do so.

When we reached the entrance hall, a simple platform was dug here.

Here he saw a young man, dressed in oriental attire, lying unconscious.

　A book friend in the group appeared in a suit, spreading flowers, spreading flowers.
