I'm in Hogwarts, what the hell is the Honghuang system?

Chapter 38: The golden bell in Yuxu Palace rang, and from then on, the disciples of the Chan Sect

Rhine's heart skipped a beat when he saw this message.

When I received the Hogwarts admission letter, which the system called the qualification for admission to the Chan Sect, the system began to bind.

Now that I've officially arrived at Hogwarts, can the system still be upgraded?
This trip to Hogwarts was really a good decision, otherwise I would have missed a great opportunity.

At the same time, looking at the new features revealed by the system after the upgrade, Rhine was also looking forward to it.

"The talent smelting function comes just in time."

"I now have a lot of random talents. Some are very useful, some are useless, and some are duplicates."

"Once the talent smelting function is enabled, perhaps we can find other uses for those useless or duplicate talents."

Thinking of this, Rhine couldn't wait any longer.

If there weren't so many people here, he would have wanted to fly the owl sword directly to Hogwarts Castle.

But now, we still have to follow the process.

When freshmen go to Hogwarts for the first time, they still have to pass through the Black Lake as usual, but they don’t have to do that in their second year.

Rhine once wondered why the new students didn’t follow the same path as the old students?
Why make a group of little wizards spend so much effort and time?

But in the history of magic textbook, Rhine saw the reason.

This is because the original intention of the four founders to establish Hogwarts was to protect young wizards from the increasingly crazy witch hunts at that time.

At that time, Hogwarts was not like it is now, and could only be entered and exited through this secret path.

It is for this reason that the four founders cast a strong protective spell on this road.

Any student who enters Hogwarts from this road can receive protection within Hogwarts, greatly reducing the chance of accidents.

This protective spell is still effective today, so young wizards still have to retrace their path to school in order to obtain the protection of the founders.

At the same time, this is why Hogwarts is known as the safest place in the wizarding world.

It's not just because Dumbledore is here, but also because of the protective magic that has been preserved here for generations.

Otherwise, how could those students who unfortunately encountered the basilisk in the second year of the original book be so lucky that they didn't look directly into the basilisk's eyes and avoided immediate death?
It's okay if one person is lucky, but it really doesn't make sense that so many people are lucky.

Some of the courses at Hogwarts are indeed a bit outrageous in their danger level, but over the years, although there have been cases of broken limbs, I have never heard of any deaths.

This is all because of the magical protection that remains on this road. As long as students are not as unlucky as Myrtle, or they are not seeking death, the safety of students within Hogwarts is guaranteed.

Thoughts flashed through his mind, but Rhine did not stop moving. He brought Hermione, Harry and Ron to an empty boat.

Soon, the boat was sailing forward across the mirror-like lake.

Everyone was silent, staring at the huge castle that reached into the sky.

As they approached the cliff on which the castle stood, it seemed to tower above them.

"Lower your head!"

Following Hagrid's classic shout in the original book, we passed through the ivy curtain covering the cliff, passed through the dark tunnel under the castle, crossed the underground dock, and finally climbed onto a ground covered with gravel and pebbles.

This long journey made the little wizards terrified.

After all, the Black Lake is bottomless. When you stare into it, you can't help but feel that there are many eyes watching from below.

After getting off the boat, the little wizards rushed to get away from the Black Lake.

Only Rhine's eyes showed a strange expression, even a hint of surprise. He turned around and glanced at Black Lake reluctantly. Just then, the system screen refreshed with information.

[Kunlun Mountain, where Yuxu Palace is located, is the ancestor of all mountains and the origin of dragon veins. You passed by a large lake at the foot of the mountain and discovered that there were dragons in the lake and a dragon palace was built at the bottom of the lake.]

[The dragon clan has always been rich in treasures and has a long history. They are in charge of raising clouds and rain. Even after the Conferred Gods Tribulation, during the Journey to the West, the dragon clan still roamed across rivers, lakes, and seas.]

[Making friends with the master of the Dragon Palace at the bottom of the lake will be of great benefit to you.]

Establish a casual acquaintance with the Lord of the Dragon Palace and gain the gift—Dragon Spirits. Dragons control the clouds and rain, and govern the world's water veins, drawing spiritual energy from them. With this gift, you can draw spiritual energy from areas with abundant water veins. This gift is even more effective when combined with the powers of Eating Wind and Drinking Dew and Sun Essence and Moon Essence.

[Engage in a close friendship with the Lord of the Dragon Palace and gain the gift of Water Control. Manipulating water will become second nature, allowing you to cast common water spells with ease.]

[Achieving a life-or-death friendship with the Lord of the Dragon Palace grants the magical power of summoning wind and rain. Changing the celestial phenomena, controlling wind and rain, a single thought can bring down a shower of blessings, a single thought can bring down torrential rain. This is a common but powerful magical power.]

Rhine took a deep breath.

The creatures identified as dragons by the system under the Black Lake should be the mermaids that appeared in the original novel.

There are benefits to making friends with merpeople, which is definitely a pleasant surprise.

Not to mention the rewards that would come later, just the reward for being an acquaintance was enough to make Rhine determined to get it.

The presence of dragons brings spiritual energy, and the ability to obtain spiritual energy from water veins is exactly the talent that Rhine urgently needs!
"Looks like I need to go to Black Lake sometime."

However, at this moment, the most important thing for Rhine is to participate in the branching ceremony and complete the system upgrade.

At this moment, Hagrid had brought them to the castle gate, raised a huge fist, and knocked on the castle gate three times.

Rhine's heart skipped a beat.

"Is this the ringing of the Golden Bell?"

But no prompt appeared on the system screen, so Rhine had no choice but to follow everyone and continue walking inside.

Next, Professor McGonagall’s introduction, the appearance of the ghost, and classic scenes from the original novel emerged one after another.

It was not until the young wizards entered the hall in a single file that the Sorting Hat appeared and sang the song it had made up out of boredom.

The other little wizards were both excited and nervous, while Rhine clenched his hands slightly.

But he was not nervous because of the sorting, but because he had clearly entered Hogwarts Castle, so why didn't the system give any prompts?

Doesn’t Hagrid’s knock on the door count as a golden bell? Neither does Professor McGonagall’s classic speech, and why doesn’t the Sorting Hat’s singing count?

In Rhine's estimation, he thought the Sorting Hat was the Golden Bell determined by the system, but after the Sorting Hat finished singing, the system did not respond.

So what does it mean when the Golden Bell rings?

Could there be a bug in the system again?

Just as Rhine's heart sank slowly and he was prepared for the system to go awry, Professor McGonagall took a few steps forward with a roll of parchment in her hand.

"Whoever's name I call now will put on his hat, sit on the stool, and wait for the sorting."

"Hannah Abbott!"

The moment this name sounded, Rhine seemed to hear a clear bell in his ears.

The system light screen suddenly refreshed.

[The golden bell in Yuxu Palace rings, and from now on, I am a disciple of the Chan Sect. Congratulations to the host for officially joining the Chan Sect!]
