I'm the King of Curry at Hogwarts

Louis severely punished Catherine for her mocking behavior.

You have to tidy up when it's time to tidy up; sometimes it's a little bit of fun.

After the special disciplinary action, Catherine leaned on Louis's shoulder and murmured, "Why did you suddenly decide to help Principal Karkaroff solve his problem today?"

"I prefer intelligent people, that's all," Louis whispered in Catherine's ear, stroking her smooth, silky shoulders.

"Really?" Catherine smiled sweetly. "Let's just assume he's a smart man. Hopefully, he won't disappoint you."

Then, she suddenly changed the subject: "So, do you think I'm a smart person?"

"Of course you're not, you're just a little piggy right now." Louis laughed and hugged her tighter. "Wait until I add a little something extra, then you'll become smart."

"You bastard!" Catherine laughed and cursed, biting Louis's arm.

"Ouch, are you a dog?" Louis wanted to shake her off but was afraid of hurting Catherine, so he could only endure the pain... However, Catherine didn't use too much force, and it was still within a tolerable range.

"Hmph, in my next life I'll be a cat and you'll be a mouse, and I'll bite you to death every day!" Catherine loosened her grip and threatened fiercely.

"Okay, okay, you're a kitten, you're the cutest kitten." Louis ruffled her hair and asked with a grin, "Then I'll give you some dried fish, okay? Don't bite this mouse, alright?"

"It depends on my mood," Catherine said haughtily.

"Alright." Louis chuckled and kissed Catherine on the head.

"Hey, let me ask you something," Catherine suddenly remembered something, turned around to face Louis, and asked curiously, "What did you mean by what you said to Sakuya today?"

"Which sentence?" Louis paused, then asked, "Another breath?"

He assumed that Catherine was upset that Sakuya was filing his nails.

"No, it's that..." Catherine touched her lower lip with her index finger, thought for a moment, and then remembered: "Right, sometimes intelligence and stupidity are beyond their control. Use your intelligence when you're smart, and discard it when you're foolish. What does that mean?"

"It's just the literal meaning." Louis smiled, gently stroking Catherine's hair, and explained affectionately, "People aren't always smart. When I need them, they're smart; but sometimes, like Karkaroff, they don't just represent their own interests. When the interests of those around them are tied to his, many choices are no longer theirs. So, whether they're smart or not sometimes isn't up to them. If they don't suit my taste, I'll just replace them with someone smarter than I need."

"It's so complicated." Catherine wrinkled her delicate little nose. "It feels like it's too much of a brain drain."

"That's politics," Louise pinched her nose. "You can't think it's complicated. As the future Duchess, this will be a required course for you too."

“Man is the sum total of all social relations, little moon,” Louis stroked her cheek with his fingertip. “Even if you don’t learn these things, you’ll still use them in your daily life. But the difference is that if you don’t have the ability to quickly acquire knowledge, you might get sold out and still be helping the seller count the money.”

"Okay, Dad." Catherine rolled her eyes, expressing her dissatisfaction by addressing him as "Dad."

Look at you, babbling on and on. Anyone who didn't know better would think you were my dad.

"You think I'm annoying already?" Louis rolled over. "Looks like I need to teach you a lesson, you brat, take this!"

……

Whether Catherine likes it or not, she has to go back to her Muggle home every day to take a few lessons.

Of course, she was still quite compliant, after all, she didn't want to hold Louis back.

However, what Louis told him that night was a bit off; it wasn't just about politics, but also about the art of ruling.

It is a required course.

The three Pandaren stayed at Hogwarts for a full week before returning to Pandaria, completely satisfied. As Old Chen put it, "We were so happy here that we didn't even miss Pandaria."

To be honest, the dishes made by house-elves are not top-notch, at least not as good as those made by panda chefs or Tom, but they have the advantage of being fresh and new to them.

Before leaving, he didn't forget to invite Louis to go and have a look at Pandaria together.

"What are you looking at?" Louis asked, puzzled. "Wasn't the problem with Qinglong Temple already resolved?"

"There are still several demons to deal with." Zhu Talan had long regarded Louis as a savior sent by the monkey: "Your Ladyship's flames have an extremely strong special attack capability against demons. I hope Your Highness can lend us a hand."

In the past few days, they had already figured out the interpersonal relationships of the main people in the school, especially Louis, who was obviously a powerful helper, and they knew him very well.

"Oh, I almost forgot..." Louis slapped his forehead. "I really do have to go with you guys... Anyway, Hogwarts isn't too busy, and it'll be about three more months before we can do the last project..."

He returned to the manor, called away Catherine who was in class, and was immediately cornered by Hermione and the other two when he got back to Hogwarts.

"We want to go to Pandaria!" Hermione said, puffing out her cheeks. "You're so disloyal, Louis! You didn't even invite us to such a fun trip..."

"Huh? Then let me ask you, have you three mastered Occlumency?" Louis countered.

"Of course!" Hermione said, hands on her hips, looking confident.

Louis smiled gently, then his expression suddenly changed. He reached out and beckoned lightly: "Legilimency!"

Almost instantly, Hermione's eyes went blank, and her mind went completely blank.

Louis didn't read anything.

"Looks like you've learned quite well, so let's go together then." Louis shrugged. "Of course, don't blame me for not warning you, Pandaria is very dangerous. If something cuts off your arms or legs, don't blame me for messing with you..."

"How could that be?" Ron said excitedly. "We're so grateful to you, how could we blame you?"

"It's hard to say. Look at Hermione, she remembers everything from first, second, and third grade. It's inevitable that she might... Legilimency!" Louis suddenly used Legilimency halfway through his sentence.

Ron still had that silly grin on his face, but Louis didn't read any information.

It seems this kid can clear his mind faster than Hermione—well, or maybe his mind doesn't need to be cleared, just like Snape said, he's a red-haired giant.

"I never would have guessed that you all have such good skills in Occlumency," Louis nodded approvingly.

"Come on, Hermione ambushes Harry and me all the time. I'm used to it," Ron said with a hint of resentment, glancing at Hermione with a hint of displeasure.

A while ago, Hermione got a good beating from Ron because she read his memories.

Ron actually enjoyed being kissed by Hibiscus, which was simply intolerable.

……

Upon arriving in Pandaria, Zhu Talan and Lao Chen suddenly had no idea where to go next.

"Why don't we take the Valley of the Four Winds and go check out the Dread Wastes first?" Louis suggested. "I don't think the Pandaren can fight alone. Even with the Hozans, the Jinyu are far from enough. We should try to gain all the forces we can."

"Are you crazy? The Mantid live in the Dread Wastes!" Zhu Talan's eyes widened, her expression one of disbelief. "The Mantid are the Pandaren's mortal enemies, how could they possibly be won over..."

"You're making assumptions without understanding the Mantid," Louis said, holding up a finger and smiling as he explained, "Have you ever heard of the Klaxxi?"

"Karakshi?" Zhu Talan felt that the name sounded familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had heard it before.

"The Mantids are a rather complex group. How about we find a way to get to the hillside farm first, let me connect the Floo Network, and we can chat along the way?" Louis suggested.

"Alright." Zhu Talan nodded and led them to a flight station, introducing it to them: "Look, this is a Pandaren kite, a unique flying vehicle in Pandaria. It's very fast. We can just stand on it—of course, I still hope you two little boys behave yourselves while you're up there, and don't jump around, or I won't be responsible if you fall..."

Zhu Talan warned Harry and Ron as she boarded the kite.

The kite was large enough to carry all eight of them. After Zhu Talan asked if they were ready, a gust of wind came from somewhere, and the kite slowly rose from the spot. After reaching a certain height, it gradually accelerated and flew into the distance.

"Woo-hooo!" Ron shouted loudly, finding the feeling of flying, which was different from flying broomsticks, very novel.

Harry felt the same way; although it wasn't as fast as the Firebolt, the feeling was really novel.

Hermione's expression didn't look so good; she's afraid of heights.

"Continuing from where we left off," Louis said, putting his arm around Zhu Talan's shoulder as he explained, "Actually, if Zhou Zhuo were here, he would probably know about the Klaxxi. But before that, we need to know that the Mantid are not a monolithic entity. A significant portion of them have been corrupted by an extremely powerful Sha—the Sha of Fear. Led by their Great Queen Xia Yike...Shakshir, the entire lair has almost descended into madness."

"The Klaxxi, an organization of Mantid elders who manage the history and culture of the Mantid, have a vision and goals far beyond their queen. Unlike other Mantid, these elders have not been corrupted and driven mad; instead, they seek ways to replace the insane queen. They realize that the queen has already gone mad, and if their civilization is destroyed by the Sha, then everything will be meaningless. That is why they formed this organization to fight against the Great Queen Shakshir and her fearsome minions..."

"So, the Kharakshi are also a force we can try to win over?" Zhu Talan asked.

Louis nodded. He had never really understood why the Klaxxi Champions, with their thick eyebrows and big eyes, suddenly betrayed the revolution in the story. Logically speaking, unless Y'Shaarj himself was resurrected, they would not be able to be completely loyal to him. A half-dead heart would not be enough to make them risk the fate of their entire clan. If they were truly loyal to Y'Shaarj to the death, then why would they resist the corruption of the Sha of Fear?

But maybe that's just religious fanaticism; at least Louis doesn't quite understand it.

*Accept quest: Klaxxi Heroes

Awaken all nine remaining Klaxxi Champions and defeat the Great Queen Shakhir, the Sha of Fear.

Quest Rewards: Loyalty of the Klaxxi Heroes, Rune: Ber, Skill Points * 10

Reward description: Trust in the Mantis's loyalty; once pledged allegiance, it will never betray.

"What if Y'Shaarj suddenly comes back? Won't the Mantid rebels still turn against us?" Louis quietly called out to the system in his mind.

The system was also very straightforward, displaying a small message for him.

*rest assured.

Goodness, you're really sparing with words, System...

"But I still feel like this is a bit far-fetched. We've been fighting the mantises for tens of thousands of years..." Zhu Talan still found it hard to accept the fact that their mortal enemies of ten thousand years could suddenly become friends: "Could they really suddenly change their personalities?"

"That's what Chromie told me, so I think we can trust the Bronze Dragon, right?" Louis said, stroking his chin. Anyway, if there's a problem, just push it onto Chromie; the Bronze Dragon's word is never wrong.

Zhu Talan said with a serious expression, "Since it was Ms. Chromie who said it, then there must be no problem. Let's rest at the hillside farm for a while, and then set off immediately for the Dread Wastes to find the Klaxxi!"

Half-Mountain Farm is much larger than in the game. In fact, Pandaria is also larger than in the game. It took the group about seven or eight hours to fly from Qinglong Temple to Half-Mountain Farm.

In terms of speed, it's roughly equivalent to the distance from London to Berlin.

The hillside farm was enormous, with houses scattered in an orderly fashion and fields clearly divided into plots. While flying a kite, you could even see a panda man struggling to pull up a turnip that was bigger than himself.

Although turnips and radishes look similar, they are definitely two different species. The difference between them is greater than that between a tiger and a lion.

Turnips belong to the Brassica genus of the Brassicaceae family, while radishes belong to the Asparagus genus of the Brassicaceae family; tigers belong to the Panthera genus of the Felidae family, and lions also belong to the Panthera genus of the Felidae family, so... actually, although turnips and radishes look similar, they are quite different.

The three little ones watched with great interest as the panda people on the ground pulled up turnips and carrots as big as several people. Occasionally, a huge gray rabbit would come to steal them, only to be chased away by the farmers.

Before long, the kite landed, and a panda-man wearing a red and white jacket stepped forward and greeted him warmly, "Sect Leader Zhu, and Old Chen, what brings you here? These friends look unfamiliar..."

The last sentence refers to Louis and the other four humans.
