Lockhart began to subtly instill his own ideas.

“It’s a big concept to protect your property.”

"First, we need to know how our currencies, such as "Gold Galleons", "Sikos", "Kat", and other assets, came into being?"

As he spoke, Lockhart waved his wand, and a golden Galleon appeared in the air.

"Golden Galleons are made by goblins. Initially, goblins, as defeated warriors, served wizards."

"They signed a contract that prohibited them from holding wands, so the wizards at that time were very confident about it."

"As the ancient wizards were few in number, they chose to delegate management rights to the goblins who refined gold galleons. Thanks to their miserly nature, the management was initially very stable."

"But as time went on, the overall strength of wizards began to weaken, while the goblins slowly grew stronger because of peace."

"Although they still abide by the contract, they have begun to demand, or to be more precise... expand their rights to wizard currencies such as gold galleons."

"..."

"Like Gringotts, it didn't exist originally, but later..."

"..."

"Gradually, the goblins began to have more control over wizard currencies such as gold galleons, and even formulated certain currency rules..."

"..."

"If we want to protect our property, in addition to preventing it from being robbed, we must also understand the rules of currency..."

"......"

Lockhart taught as usual. He waved his wand while lecturing, showing various pictures. He analyzed to them the origin and current situation of wizard currency, as well as ideas on how to protect their own property.

Subconsciously instilling the concept that goblins = threat, defeating goblins = gaining monetary sovereignty, etc.

Because the young wizards are still young, they cannot think deeply on their own like wizards in the fifth or sixth grade.

Therefore, Lockhart did not explain too deeply, but tried to give some interesting stories and pictures to attract all the little wizards.

But what he didn't notice was...

Dumbledore stood quietly outside the classroom, listened for a while, and then left quietly.

Chapter 119 Philosopher's Stone, Words of Magic (Please subscribe, please vote)

Morning, Hogwarts, eighth floor corridor.

Lockhart strolled leisurely along the corridor, looking at the tapestry in front of him showing a troll beating Barnabas with a club.

These days, taking advantage of his free time, he explored the Room of Requirement at Hogwarts.

I found that all the room scenes I imagined could indeed be transformed.

However, he felt a little regretful...

Lockhart once imagined a room full of various magical books, but after entering, he found that there were only a large number of bookshelves but no books.

Although he felt a little regretful, Lockhart also expressed his understanding.

Some material things, such as bookshelves, tables, and even some simple alchemical puppets, can be simulated well by the Room of Requirement.

But when it comes to some knowledge or technical items, such as books, potions, etc., I will respond to your request, but if not, I'm afraid I won't be able to do anything.

If it could be simulated...

Lockhart thought it would be more appropriate to call it the Wishing House.

However, broad daylight is not the time to enter the Room of Requirement.

The main reason he came to the corridor on the eighth floor today was to go to the headmaster's office to help Dumbledore complete his autobiography.

Well, it was mainly to find out Dumbledore's attitude, and it had absolutely nothing to do with reading gossip about Dumbledore's youth.

Dumbledore's gossip. When Lockhart thought of this, the fire of inquiry in his heart burned fiercely.

"Chocolate balls!"

Lockhart spoke the command skillfully to the stone statue of the water-drop beast in front of him, and with a 'boom', the stairs leading to the principal's office opened to him.

"Lockhart, come right in, the door is not locked."

Hearing the voice from above, Lockhart quickly responded and entered the principal's office.

"Good morning, principal."

Lockhart saw Dumbledore, who had just put down his quill, and greeted him directly.

"Morning, Lockhart."

Dumbledore nodded in response and began to seal the letter in his hand.

With his sharp eyes, Lockhart saw the name of the recipient - Nico Mele.

Thoughtfully, he remembered that Nico Mellor was the foremost alchemist in the entire wizarding world, and his representative alchemical item was the Philosopher's Stone that extended life.

Prolonging life is not difficult for Lockhart, who travels between two worlds.

What interested him most was Nico Mellor's hundreds of years of alchemical experience.

You know, apart from spell research, he now spends most of his energy on alchemy.

Naturally, I am full of curiosity about the masters in the field of alchemy.

With his mind turning, Lockhart asked tentatively as if chatting, "Principal, you are writing a letter so early."

"I can tell at a glance that he is your most precious friend."

Dumbledore looked up and said jokingly, "I spent a whole week procrastinating before deciding to write this letter."

"I believe if Nico knew what you said, he would definitely complain that I am not a good friend."

"Nicol, Headmaster, could your friend be Master Nicol Mellor?" Lockhart exclaimed in surprise.

"Of course." Dumbledore nodded gently, "Nic and I have known each other for nearly a hundred years."

Lockhart nodded and said with some envy: "I also want to have an alchemist master as a good friend like you. If I can communicate with a top master like Nico Mele at any time."

"I believe that my alchemy skills will improve by leaps and bounds."

"Don't underestimate yourself, Lockhart," Dumbledore said jokingly. "I have seen your alchemical magic works before."

"Using Rune and Ancient Rune to combine to create magic items is your original creation."

“I believe that if this is written into a paper, it will definitely be included in The Philosopher’s Stone.”

"The Philosopher's Stone" is the top journal about alchemy in the wizarding world. It is named after the Philosopher's Stone, the alchemist's ideal creation for thousands of years. The Sorcerer's Stone is its imitation.

In contrast, there are the top journals on spells, such as "The Magic Word", and "The Golden Crucible", the top journals on potions.

Hearing Dumbledore's praise, Lockhart smiled faintly and said modestly, "Thank you for the compliment, Headmaster. I just hope that my paper on runes can be successfully published in The Word of Magic."

"Oh!" Lockhart's words seemed to surprise Dumbledore, and he then blessed him, "Then I hope I can see your paper in the latest issue of Magical Words."

Lockhart also said expectantly: "I also hope to see my name in next month's "Magic Words"."

Well, I guess I’ll have to wait until the next time I travel back to the world of Harry Potter to see it.

But even if his paper was not included in "The Magic Words", he would not be in a hurry.

When he was doing research, he wrote a lot of related papers. After organizing them, he basically submitted more or less papers to major top journals.

And the topics are different. Some are about the healing spells of runes, some are about alchemy based on runes, and some are papers about how runes can lower the learning threshold.

He even vaguely revealed an idea, that is, if he could be a squib and study systematically, he might also be able to cast spells.

All of this is to pave the way for the subsequent promotion of the magic system.

He did not seek fame, but he wanted the Runes to be seen by all wizards.

As his thoughts turned, Lockhart gathered his thoughts and began to complete today's plan. He said gently to Dumbledore: "Headmaster, regarding the autobiography, last time we talked about your teaching at Hogwarts."

“Which of the following do you think is worth writing about?”

Hearing Lockhart's question, Dumbledore shook his hand slightly and said, "We'll talk about the autobiography later."

"Last time you talked to me about Runefwen, I thought about it and hoped that my old bones could still be of some help."

"Principal, is that true?" Lockhart suddenly felt as if he had been hit on the head by a surprise and was a little dazed.

He had always wanted the principal to join his magic research, and he tried his best to release various baits, but in the end, he just wouldn't eat them.

Unexpectedly, he now said he wanted to join.

Could it be that his luck has reached its peak recently? He just hired a full-time employee not long ago, and today Dumbledore chose to join again.

This made him extremely happy.

Seeing Lockhart's surprised expression, Dumbledore nodded slightly.

Well, he had always known exactly what Lockhart was thinking.

It's nothing more than wanting to use his own power to promote research, and even endorse the subsequent promotion of runes.

It is normal for young people to always be obsessed with fame and fortune.

He was also affected by these things when he was young, but as he got older, he became indifferent to them.

At first, because of Tom's affairs, he had no interest in getting involved and wasting his energy.

But it was no longer possible now. Lockhart's research was having an increasingly far-reaching impact. If he stopped intervening, it would be too late to undo what had been done when he wanted to intervene again.

At least after joining, I can guide Lockhart not to go astray.

Seeing Dumbledore's reaffirmation, Lockhart said quickly, "Headmaster, I will compile a copy of the latest research materials and give it to you later."

"I believe that the future potential of Rune will definitely live up to your expectations. I am fully confident of this."

Hearing what Lockhart said, Dumbledore shook his hand slightly and said gently: "Lockhart, there is no hurry."

“Before researching….”

"I want to share a story with you. It's also about my good friend Grindelwald."

PS: One more chapter will be added at 6pm tonight, and one more chapter will be added for every 1000 subscriptions.

Chapter 120: For the Greater Good (Additional chapters for orders over 1000)

"Grindelwald?"

Lockhart was a little surprised to hear what Dumbledore said.

Gutteral Grindelwald, the first Dark Lord, Dumbledore's best friend, 'lover', and pioneer of the wizarding world revolution...

In his previous life, he had heard people discuss Grindelwald's title many times.

But Dumbledore's sudden words made him a little overwhelmed.

Could it be that...he is regarded as the third generation Dark Lord?

When the thought came to his mind, he felt it was a little ridiculous.

If he is really the third generation Dark Lord, then there is no need to talk about it. He should be arrested and sent to Azkaban directly.

but.......

As his thoughts turned, Lockhart quickly gathered irrelevant ideas and pretended to listen to Headmaster Dumbledore.

"Principal, please speak."

Dumbledore waved his wand and a clear glass cup floated in front of Lockhart.

Then, honey flowed out of the glass.

"No hurry, Lockhart, try the honey and we can talk while we taste it."

As he spoke, some candies and snacks floated in front of the two of them.

Lockhart took a sip of the honey and listened attentively to Dumbledore's story.

This is a good opportunity to eat some gossip about Dumbledore and Grindelwald.

"People of your age may not have much impression of Getter Grindelwald." Looking at Lockhart's actions, Dumbledore began to speak slowly: "After all, 20 to 30 years had passed when you were born."

"However, you should have all heard of his title—the first Dark Lord."
