Chapter 86 Auditorium

Professor McGonagall briefly introduced the branch to the freshmen with a serious face. Even if it was dry and uninteresting at all, the children who were new to the place and found it novel still listened with gusto.

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

A burning brazier hangs under the carved crossbar of the stone wall. The wall and the ground are all shale, with a slightly reddish earthy yellow color, and there are obvious cracks and sheet damage.

This kind of material and color is not to Kane's liking, as if there is always a layer of sand and dirt, dirty.

Affected by the modern cutting-edge industrial technology system, he is a bit of a clean freak. In terms of stone materials, he prefers bluestone, basalt, and marble, which can be cleaned to produce a clean effect.

And like Hogwarts, it will make him feel like living in a dirt cave, woodshed, or even a sand cave.

"Now, I have more reasons to renovate this place. Is this also a sense of ownership?"

After briefly explaining the basic rules, Professor McGonagall led the freshmen into the auditorium, which is also a restaurant.

There are two doors in the auditorium, the main door and the corner door, which is the back door.

The corner door is at the corner of the rectangular hall, which is the gateway to the high platform. There are horizontal tables on the high platform, which are the teachers' seats.

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

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

Bronze is a material that Kane is very familiar with.

The color of its finished product is like gold, bright and gorgeous. Only after a long period of lack of maintenance will it turn black and develop a gray-green patina.

And the bronze door in front of you is a typical example of being overwhelmed with obsolete, the whole is dim, and there are mottled in many places. Speaking of literature and art, it can make people feel the precipitation of time and the layering of the years.

As for the decorations in the hall, the situation is similar to that of this door, and it is only due to the light of the lights that it looks majestic and wonderful.

Kane noticed the heraldic beast sculptures of the quadrants lining the east and west gables. These sculptures are like poles and are used to hang braziers, which are very representative magic devices.

Immediately, he looked at the thousands of candles in the sky, and also noticed the fluctuation of magic power.

"Wait, this is..."

Kane curled his lips slightly. Among the founders of Hogwarts, there are many wicked people who actually play this kind of reverse thinking trick.

If he reads correctly, these magic candles contain an extraordinary substance that is precious in the multiverse, soul crystal, which is the main material for making the soul lamp.

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

When people die and the lights go out, they are closely related, and the one that can make the two of them form this extraordinary connection is the soul crystal.

He was thinking just now that the real Hogwarts is as quiet and dilapidated as an ancient tomb, and it relies on playing with light and shadow effects to maintain the scene and fool children.

As a result, someone hit him in the face with a soul crystal candle: he is just holding a golden bowl and pretending to be poor, why not accept it?

On the high platform, Dumbledore stroked his beard and smiled. He could see Kane's expression, and roughly guessed Kane's mood at this time.

"Hogwarts still has some background."

To be honest, Dumbledore would be happy to see Kane's small snacks deflated. He is very clear that what Kane lacks now is the accumulation of years, and this is exactly what Hogwarts has.

Hogwarts has a long history. Compared with the richness of this time, even he, the headmaster, is just a young man who has too many secrets that he has not yet known.

He asked himself his feelings for Hogwarts more than anyone else in this era.

Due to various objective factors, Hogwarts was becoming dilapidated day by day. He saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart.

But this kind of thing,

There is no use in haste. If you want to repair Hogwarts, regardless of technology, the cost will be astronomical.

Since two years ago, Dumbledore has been thinking about whether the Shafik family can participate in the repair project?

At that time, under the guidance of a professional consultant who is familiar with Muggle economics, he considered this way:

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

This is of course taking advantage, the Magic Eye Chamber of Commerce is not short of funds, so many people are waving check books, crying and shouting that they want to get on other people's big boats.

He put up his old face and played the 'alma mater' card again, and he still has a certain chance of success.

After that, relying on the dividends of the shares, the bulk of the repair funds will be available.

Although the renovation is costly, it does not need to be paid in full at one time, so as long as there is a stable and affordable source of income, the project can be started.

As for technology, Hogwarts professors alone are not enough.

His plan is to play a dozen favor cards accumulated over the years, make preparations at ordinary times, and carry out repairs during the three months of summer vacation. It is believed that this project can be completed in 5-7 years.

However, the reality was much skinnier than he expected. The renovation project was stuck at the school board before the crowdfunding session.

The school directors formed a delegation, made a pretentious visit and evaluated it, and finally rejected the crowdfunding proposal led by them on the grounds that there were no major safety hazards.

Last year, the Magic Eye Chamber of Commerce was booming in the field of magic construction. He secretly evaluated from the side, and felt that the Magic Eye Chamber of Commerce had strong enough technical force.

Sure enough, whether it is the "Summer Palace" of the Shafik 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 superb Highly acclaimed professionalism.

This made the idea of ​​repairing Hogwarts alive again.

"Technical strength is also available, but the main reason is the lack of money."

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

So since then, Dumbledore has decided that Kane must be recruited into Hogwarts.

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

He also knew that the opponent's style of acting was ruthless, causing many wizards and magical creatures walking in the dark to fall into the sand in the Nozawa Garden.

There is no doubt that this is a dangerous signal, which means that the Shafiq family is not easy to provoke, whether it is against it or an alliance, it is easy to cause trouble for the upper body.

In this case, the most sensible choice is to stay away, and most people do the same.

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

However, after visiting the Shafiq family not long ago, he changed his mind.

He decided to go through Hogwarts and deeply bind Kane.

Simply put, the more Kane invested in Hogwarts, the deeper his bond with Hogwarts became.

Then, as the principal, he can provide Kane with additional authority. He has secretly decided that as long as Kane does not break the bottom line, he can do whatever he wants.

For this reason, just yesterday, he had a brief talk with the professors, vaccinated them, and told them that Kane Shafik is very likely to perform astonishingly, so they should be calm and reserved.

As a result, I received an express letter at noon today, saying that the dark forces committed crimes at King's Cross Station. They encountered an even more brutal Kane, and the only survivor was cut into a human pig.

It is conceivable that at this moment, the professors who maintain at least a decent manner are curious about Kane Shafik.

Even Snape, who was always proud, glanced at Kane who was standing forward and was obviously much taller than the other eleven-year-olds from time to time.

The sorting ceremony had already begun, and when it was the turn of the two teenagers he had rescued, Kane paid special attention to it. The thin monkey was named Wayne Schiller and was sorted into Gryffindor. And the little fat pier is called Bobby Lampard, and he went to Hufflepuff.

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

The little wizards who were the same age as him were not particularly outstanding, only a few of them received half-hearted praise.

What about him? Not only the professors and wizard apprentices want to know what the Sorting Hat thinks of him, but even he himself is very interested.

One must know that, as the master of the swarm, he once worked part-time as a psyker, and his attainments in spiritual power are not comparable to most wizards in this world who have not even successfully practiced Occlumency.

He has the ability to weigh, weigh, how amazing is this Hogwarts magical creation...
