Hogwarts starts with stealing power.

Babel said confidently, "Yes! For the elementary and intermediate levels of Ancient Magic Runes, there is no limit on talent. As long as you study step by step, you can grow step by step. Only if you want to become a high-level Ancient Magic Rune Master, you need talent."

The wizard immediately said, "That's fine with me. I only have one idea. As professors, can we be the first to use this knowledge game?"

He shrugged and said honestly, "I wasn't interested in Ancient Demonic Script when I was studying, so now I feel extremely regretful that I didn't study hard before.

I am thinking about how to pick it up, this game can definitely help me, can you promote it as soon as possible? "

Babel smiled and said, "Of course, in fact, my students have already used this game in my afternoon class.

They all gave it very high praise, and even didn’t want to leave after class, wanting to stay in the classroom.”

This scene made many professors turn their eyes.

Hogwarts does not have student performance indicators. There are no rigid regulations on how many outstanding students a professor must produce, how many A-level evaluations, how many B-level evaluations, and how many unqualified students must be reduced to...

but.

If I could produce many outstanding students during my teaching career, that would definitely be better!
As a professor, who doesn’t want his students to become smarter and smarter?

Then another professor asked, "Is this game only applicable to Ancient Demonic Literature? Can other subjects be introduced into it as well?"

Babel nodded slightly: "This is why I called you to an urgent meeting."

She paused and said, "I want to promote this game so that all subjects in the school can use it. This requires you to gather your strength and rearrange the knowledge content of this game."

Babel emphasized: "Every subject, even the most boring history of magic, must be included.

I hope that students at Hogwarts will have as few biases as possible. I don’t ask them to be excellent in every subject, but they should have a certain amount of knowledge in every subject.”

The professors sitting on the floating seats were silent for a while, and McGonagall was the first to speak: "I agree!"

"I agree!"

"Agree!"

After every professor had finished speaking, Dumbledore spoke slowly, his blue eyes gazing at everyone present like a hawk.

“Because of the special nature of this knowledge-based game, it will only be promoted in Hogwarts for now. If the effect is good, it will be promoted in magic schools in every country first.

If the feedback we receive is good, we will gradually open it to the outside world and to adults.

Adults can learn more advanced content through this game. Then the evil god's whispers in the banned books will no longer restrict us, and only a pure competition of talent will remain.

Talented people can quickly learn knowledge from this game, even advanced forbidden spells—"

Dumbledore paused and said meaningfully: "I believe you should know what this matter represents."

As expected, the expressions of every professor changed slightly, and some were even horrified and covered their faces with their hands, somewhat terrified.

His expression changed drastically not because he felt guilty, but because the meaning revealed in the principal's words was so shocking!
This means that they can bypass the shackles imposed by the evil world and open up a new path for the wizard world.

Although this path has lower learning efficiency and tests learning ability, it is safe enough!
And didn’t you hear the principal say that learning through this method is a test of talent. If you don’t have a strong talent, you still won’t be able to learn. But if you have talent…

The professors' eyes flickered, and there was a hint of eagerness to try.

As professors hired by Hogwarts, they have all gone through many trials and tribulations to get to their current positions. In terms of talent, they believe that they are no worse than anyone else.

So this game is really fully open, and they are definitely the beneficiaries!

Before the professor could express his excitement, Dumbledore's words came:

"Because this is related to the innovation of the wizarding world, I require all professors present to cast a fidelity spell. Anyone who has the thought of leaking the secret will be tortured by the spell.

If he were to speak to anyone else, even a single word, he would be killed by the force of the oath.

This spell will bind the wizards who have sworn together, and if any one of them betrays, he will bear the brunt of the power of the rest of the wizards."

Dumbledore said in a slow, firm, powerful voice: "Even I will take the oath."

Babel's voice followed closely: "I will also join in the oath."

The two of them spoke one after the other, and immediately made some people with ulterior motives give up their original ideas.

Originally, those people wanted to spread the news, and it would be best if Hogwarts was forced to hand over the technology.

Hogwarts can use it, but why is it exclusive?
Other professors joined in the oath, but the wizards did not take it seriously.

After all, no matter how powerful the oath is, there is always a way to escape.

Some scarce materials in the wizarding world can be used to make a "disguise swearing potion", which allows wizards to take it before swearing an oath and then escape the subsequent oath.

It looked as if an oath had been taken, but it was a pretense, and in fact no oath had been taken at all.

For example, the "fake death potion" is specifically used to escape the oath.

After taking a suspended animation potion, the wizarding world believed that he was dead and the punishment of the oath was handed down. But in fact, the wizard did not die after leaking the secret, but just fell into a state of suspended animation.

For example, other potions can achieve the effects of "escaping the oath" and "faking death".

In this regard, ancient wizards have given many methods.

However, due to the decreasing number of rare materials in the modern wizarding world, many ancient potions cannot be made.

But just because it cannot be made now doesn't mean wizards don't have stock. Especially those powerful pure-blood families, who doesn't have a few good things passed down from ancient times?
But if Dumbledore and Babel were involved, the situation would be different.

The tolerance of medicine is also limited.

The more precious the oath, the more precious the disguise or fake death potion required, otherwise the escape will not be effective.

For example, if someone swore to destroy the wizarding world, it would be impossible for an ordinary disguise potion to easily solve the problem.

There is no escape from success without an imbalance of power.

Dumbledore alone is not enough, there is also the mysterious Babel...

The professors did not know Babel's true strength. They only knew that she was a professor of civil service and had deep attainments in ancient magic runes. Many of the ancient magic rune formations in the school were constructed by her.

Silent research scholars like this are often very low-key, but once they become high-profile, they will have a profound impact on the wizarding world.

Whether it is in terms of strength or ideas.

Look now, hasn't Professor Barbling dropped a bombshell?
If Babel was a wizard as powerful as Dumbledore, then there is no doubt that the difficulty of disguising and escaping from this experiment would be no less than becoming two Dumbledores!

Just thinking about it makes it seem completely impossible.

Under Dumbledore's watch, every wizard swore an oath, and no one dared to do anything. If you do something at this time, wouldn't it be obvious that you are a spy sent by other forces to Hogwarts?
Before you do anything tricky, think about whether you can get away with it in front of Dumbledore and Babel.

In the evening, Lin Xia participated in the patrol as usual.

The mission their team received was to patrol the third floor of Hogwarts at 11 o'clock in the evening.

The outstanding student who was handing over to them specifically reminded them: "Be careful when you patrol. I don't know what happened to the professors tonight. None of them showed up. I sent several letters to the professors through the outstanding student secret key channel, but received no response."

Lin Xia couldn't help but ask: "Not a single professor showed up?"

The top student shrugged. "Is Administrator Filch a professor? I gave him feedback, and he started patrolling with us with a kerosene lamp.

I contacted many professors and even the dean, but I didn't get a response. Fortunately, Hogwarts was very peaceful tonight, and I felt quite safe. "

Lin Xia said: "Okay, we will be careful."

She discussed it with the other kids and decided, “We will split into two groups, one with four people and the other with three people.

The Weasley twins will go to the group of three, along with Ron."

Without waiting for Ron to protest, Lin Xia said, "The professor is not here tonight. We must be careful. Everything is for safety. Don't get angry."

Ron pursed his lips and said nothing.

Seeing this, George and Fred expressed their sarcasm in an aria-like manner.

"Oh, my poor brother, he doesn't seem to want to see his dear brothers at all!"

"But the poor little brother will never know that his brothers have always cared about him and hope that he can be healthy and happy!"

Lin Xia glanced at them calmly and said, "You guys shut up too. Ginny and Ron are both younger than you, but their treatment is very different. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that you are biased."

The Weasley twins were about to say something, but Lin Xia seemed to have predicted their predictions and spoke first: "Ron is also your youngest brother, and his status is the same as Ginny's."

There is no need to treat the youngest sister and the youngest brother so differently.

George and Fred looked at each other, shrugged and stopped talking, tacitly accepting the arrangement.

After they started patrolling, George, Fred and Ron had a rare common topic.

After the three of them patrolled far away, George asked, "Ron, has Lin Xia always been so strong when talking to you in the past?

Don't you think she is very majestic? I seemed to see a smaller version of Professor McGonagall. I didn't even dare to breathe just now."

Fred agreed: "That experience was really terrible. She completely anticipated our subsequent answers. By the way, did she do very well in Divination class?"

Ron nodded and said, "Normally she's not that strict, but as long as you go to her lab to do an experiment and she finds a data error, she will become very scary.

Although I didn't scold you, the invisible pressure I gave you made you shudder! "

The Weasley twins felt the same way, they could already imagine it.

The two thought to themselves: If Lin Xia invited them to join her laboratory in the future, they must refuse harshly!

However, the facts prove that the law of true fragrance is always true!
-
Lin Xia and others are still very lucky.

They only patrolled three times before Professor McGonagall appeared on the third floor.

She greeted the little wizards and asked them to come to her office if they found anything unusual, but she did not tell them where she had been.

But the little wizard observed Professor McGonagall's expression and found that her face was flushed and there was always a faint smile on the corners of her mouth.

I don’t know if anything good happened.

This patrol ended normally, and nothing unusual was found. This is also the recent situation of Hogwarts.

Nothing happened as usual.

If Lin Xia and others had not experienced the contamination incident in Hogsmeade, they would have almost thought that Hogwarts was out of danger.

But it's not.

Hogwarts is loose inside but tight outside. Recently, it is almost like a closed school and no outsiders are allowed to enter, not even officials from the Ministry of Magic.

Moreover, the patrol on the fourth floor has not been included in the task list, and the professor doesn’t know what to look for on the fourth floor.

As long as the fourth floor is not on the task list, it means that there is a risk.

After the patrol, Lin Xia and others handed over their work to the outstanding students of the next class.

Professor McGonagall walked out and took a look, focusing her eyes on a little wizard. She just took a quick glance and quickly looked away.

But Lin Xia could sense that Professor McGonagall was looking at her.

Could it be that Professor Barbling has made new progress and has told other professors about her ideas?
I don’t know what the attitudes of other professors will be, but I think they will all actively promote it.

Professor McGonagall's look also made the other little wizards have wild thoughts.

After saying goodbye to Lin Xia, Ron thought about it and felt that Professor McGonagall had just given him a special look.

Ron said doubtfully, "Did I make the professor angry again?"

Hermione: "You have been very well behaved recently. Don't be so self-indulgent."

Ron: "But I think the professor is watching me!"

Harry whispered, "Ron, you were standing next to Lin Xia at the time. I think the professor was more likely looking at Lin Xia."

Ron also knew that this was the most likely possibility, but ever since Professor McGonagall gave him that glance, he had been feeling a little uncomfortable.

Hermione suggested, "If you still feel uneasy, why not do well in Transfiguration class? Professor McGonagall will praise you and won't give you any trouble."

Ron agreed: "You are right."

Even McGonagall probably didn't expect that the reason that motivated Ron to work hard in Transfiguration and surpass other young wizards step by step was actually due to this.

the other side.

After Lin Xia finished her patrol mission, she exchanged a few words with Draco in the Hufflepuff common room and then returned to the golden wooden house.

Draco has been very interested in cultivation recently and asked Lin Xia if there were any auxiliary drugs that could speed up his cultivation.

He already felt that what Lin Xia had given him before was no longer enough. (End of this chapter)
