Chapter 378 The End of Magic…
The delicious cauldron left by Hufflepuff can automatically turn very simple ordinary ingredients into various magical delicacies with wonderful effects. It feels like it matches the magical cooking of the house elves in school now!
This big pot of stew can feed the whole school!
Could it be that it was originally used to cook for students?
Ms. Hufflepuff, kept her “legendary kitchen utensil”!
By the way, she also left behind a golden cup. Could it be something similar? It's still in Dumbledore's hands now!
Besides the cauldron, there is also her "recipe", which contains her casual notes. There is a lot of valuable information, which can at least give people a glimpse of the magical world thousands of years ago.
Now, the legacies of the four giants are all gathered together!
…
"It turns out that as early as the time of the Big Four, there was already a conjunction of stars! It's just that the phenomenon at that time was so small that it didn't attract any attention at all." Hermione looked at the Hufflepuff that Ted had translated and compiled. notes.
Ted added: "It's not necessarily because it didn't attract attention. It may also be because the population at that time was not so large, and those things that appeared in other worlds have gradually been integrated into our world. So no one thinks there is anything strange. ."
What the truth is, I’m afraid it’s impossible to know now.
In other words, Hogwarts is a millennium school, and some clues have been left behind. Where can you find other places?
Going to some ancient ruins for archeology?
Isn’t that... isn’t that what the goblins are doing?
Um? !
Do those ugly monsters really have any ulterior secrets? !
Write this down and observe it closely in the future.
I haven’t paid much attention to this group of things recently.
Now that both sides of the wizarding world and Muggle society are in a mess, are they not doing anything at all? So peaceful?
By the way, Gringotts was robbed last time. How did they react?
Ted plans to ask Barty to pay more attention to the goblins.
It feels like there are still not enough manpower!
…
Ted also wanted to plant some informants in the Ministry of Magic. Unexpectedly, the Ministry of Magic took action first.
The pink toad appeared with a fake smile on his face again, holding a piece of parchment in his hand, and came to the auditorium with a smile on his face.
The students suddenly looked at each other, feeling that their appetite was affected.
Generally, this old woman doesn't come to the lobby to eat. The house elves send her to the office. She also has to eat alone, and she often makes some weird requests.
She has eaten the dish about the impermanence of life many times, but she is not like Lockhart, who still inquires about it. She just eats.
Of course, in order to ensure the original taste, we still use the old recipes and old methods~
But why did she come to the auditorium today?
“Cough cough cough~”
She coughed a few times, attracting everyone's attention.
Then he pointed the wand at his neck and his voice became louder: "In view of the sincere requests of many students, I contacted Minister Fudge many times. After many communications and discussions, I secured this huge opportunity for everyone..."
Hush, swoosh, swoosh~ Some Slytherin students started to applaud her. It's obvious that everyone has "taken refuge" in her now.
Aroused the disdainful looks of many young wizards.
Those little wizards didn’t take it seriously, and were even a little proud: in the future, if you graduate and can’t find a job, you’ll know how great we are!
Umbridge's sweet voice sounded in the auditorium, and then she began to "brainwash" everyone.
Ted finally figured it out, this guy is at the level of an Internet celebrity live broadcasting. They never tire of brainwashing and instilling their own unlucky ideas into the students.
How great the Ministry of Magic is, how you should respect the authority, how capable you are, etc... It feels like you are in a pyramid scheme where you understand the applause.
Now, she is taking the so-called "opportunity" and gushingly taking credit for herself, as if she helped everyone present get the spot to become an immortal.
It has the style of silly performance in some live broadcast studios, "I must fight for welfare for my family, I will tell you a number~".
The problem is, some people do believe in this style!
Especially since there are many junior students present.
Many young wizards who are immature in mind and have not yet completely solidified their three views are very likely to be deceived by this extremely stupid brainwashing method.
At least they have curiosity and doubts in their hearts, then they will be fooled!
Could Ted allow a bad guy to fool others in front of him?
Ted: What lower limit do you give to this show?
Then, no one was seen making any move, and suddenly there was a rumble in the entire auditorium, and then the sound was so loud that it immediately overshadowed Umbridge's voice:
"I am a pink toad~I am a pink toad~If you believe me, you are stupider than a toad! You can poke and jump~"
Hey guys, this time Ted is using Umbridge’s loud and clipped version!
The glass in the entire auditorium was buzzing and trembling, and it was impossible to hear what others were saying.
But the little wizards screamed with obvious excitement.
Especially the senior students, they wanted to take the opportunity to scold Umbridge’s 18th generation ancestor!
Umbridge has completely given up the clip sound, and is hysterical in a rich voice: "Quick! Get rid of it! Get rid of it! Disappear it! The curse stops!"
She waved her wand as hard as she could and used a general counterspell, but it was completely useless.
Not to mention how powerful your spell is, how can you counter-spell this ubiquitous sound?
Umbridge screamed and dropped the parchment, her hair disheveled, and ran away with her pink high heels.
This public humiliation made her quite miserable. There was no class for a week after that. But the students were very happy.
Someone has already arranged and composed the music and sung for "Pink Toad".
However, the piece of parchment that Umbridge brought was nailed to the bulletin board.
After all, this thing is a real education instruction from the Ministry of Magic, stamped with the seal of the Ministry of Magic.
The above content says, "In order to give young wizards a chance to practice first-hand, the Ministry of Magic is willing to open some internship positions and allow outstanding young wizards to try internships at the Ministry in advance, so that they can enter the Ministry of Magic in the future and provide a better future for the majority of young wizards. Laying a good foundation for wizard services..."
Ah~ it’s a magic exam!
This thing actually happens every year, but the number of people is really limited.
Think about it, there are only about 30,000 people in the entire wizarding world in Great Britain. How many people can there be in the Ministry of Magic? Say more than a hundred or so.
Some of these people have been working in the same position for decades, and their father may have been doing this.
Having connections and resources at home, I took her to my own position for internship after graduating from school.
However, the number of such people is very small every year, maybe ten or eight. The other half are children of pure-blood wizards.
In fact, the magic world doesn’t pay much attention to this. Look at Peggy. After graduating, she worked with a caravan in Diagon Alley and engaged in import and export trade.
Except for his father, no one in their family works at the Ministry of Magic—all of them have gone abroad! It has to be Weasley!
But this year is different. The Ministry of Magic has decided to expand enrollment.
In other words, Fudge felt that there were not enough manpower!
On the one hand, the Ministry of Magic really doesn’t have enough people.
In the past few years, there have only been a few sporadic unlucky people who died in the line of duty for one reason or another.
But this year, in the first half of the year alone, there have been more than a dozen cases!
As early as last year, the Ministry of Magic had begun to advertise in newspapers and other media to recruit more strikers.
The Auror Office is also stepping up its training of young Aurors.
But what’s the use of improvising on this kind of thing?
This year, the frequency of various incidents has begun to increase.
Ted contacted Lupine, and his busy foot hit the back of the head - he is now responsible for communicating with the British Prime Minister and the old lady, and lives at No. 10 Downing Street for half of a month!
In the past two months, Sirius broke away from the human relationship and changed Tonks' position - to protect important Muggle figures, which was actually sent to reunite with Lupin.
After the young couple got married, they almost separated in two places due to work reasons.
In this case, officials at all levels of the Ministry of Magic were crying and complaining.
Except for the two years when Voldemort and the Death Eaters were making trouble, when had you ever been so tired and dangerous?
Everyone wants to resign!
So, the Ministry of Magic is short of manpower, very short. We need young people who are not afraid of hardships and difficulties, work hard, and serve wizards!
Another aspect is that Fudge feels that his foundation is weak.
Although he has used various small means to control quite a few middle and high-level people in the Ministry of Magic. It’s not that it has no influence.
But this is based on the fact that he is the Minister of Magic, and there is about to be a change of ministers. It's hard to say what will happen then.
Furthermore, without someone you can trust, many things will be difficult to handle.
So, he also wanted to take the opportunity to cultivate some of his cronies.
Young people are easier to deceive, I mean coax.
While I am still a minister, I can justifiably train a group of people. Maybe they can be used during the change of leadership!
Under these conditions, the Ministry of Magic's Education Order No. 2 was issued.
It stipulates that "outstanding students in fifth grade and above, including fifth grade, can visit and intern in various departments of the Ministry of Magic."
In principle, these students who have done internships will be given priority in admission after graduation.
Although Umbridge was taken away by Ted, this thing still caused a lot of discussion. Many little wizards are discussing this thing.
The most positive ones are Ravenclaw and Slytherin.
In the Ministry of Magic, these two colleges have the most officials.
Originally Ted thought that no one would care too much. The result surprised him. A considerable number of students in the two colleges of Snake and Eagle were interested in this and even began to inquire about what the standards of excellence were.
The answer is Professor Umbridge’s assessment~
ah! Waiting here!
However, after all, this is an issue related to whether I can have a decent job in the future. Although I hate toads, I still have to get one~
Many students began to come up with so-called test questions and began to study them enthusiastically.
Obviously there are still two months until the exam, but the library is already overcrowded!
Ted: I didn’t expect that there is such a strong atmosphere for exams in the magic world? The end of magic is the exam!
How can this be done?
This is the parallel world of Harry Potter, the magical world!
I feel so panicked when you are like this!
No, absolutely not!
Ted feels that he has an obligation to help these "lost" children find the true meaning of life!
…
In the secret base, at the bottom of the core server of Utopia.
Ted stood in front of a huge purple crystal more than three meters high, "Parker! How are the preparations? The development of "Magic World" is going ahead of schedule!"
“My great and creative master, I have done all the preparations. I am just waiting to develop this new, magical virtual world!”
Originally, Ted wanted to create an "online game" to let more people join in and help him do research and trial and error.
Now it seems to be ahead of schedule.
Are the camps quite antagonistic? The battle between people is permanent and ever-changing.
There is always a time limit for players to engage in intrigues with NPCs. After a long time, they will get tired of it. But there is no time limit for fighting with others, and you will never get tired of it no matter how long it takes.
Surely it can't be like Warcraft, where one tribe is a tribe and the other is an alliance, right? Judging from the appearance of the tribe, there is probably no one there!
It’s better to set it as two countries or forces!
Then we must not only oppose each other, but also cooperate. How to cooperate? External pressure!
This is a catastrophic disaster that will destroy the world and destroy the earth. It is impossible for one party to bear it. It requires the sincere cooperation of everyone!
Well, we have to set some catastrophes and powerful world-destroying crises of alien invasion in the background...
Ted really knows how to do it. It’s nothing more than taking some inspiration and elements from those popular online games, stand-alone games and novels.
As for the conflict of styles? What are you afraid of? This is the crisis of alien invasion of the world! There are many kinds of other worlds! It’s normal for their styles to conflict!
Ted chuckled: "I'm such a genius!"
“Parker, we will develop according to this script. The background of the story should be broad enough! It is set as two main forces that are hidden in ordinary society and maintain social security and order without being exposed.”
“They have to deal with the endless invasions from other worlds, solve the crises of this world, and maintain relationships with ordinary people to ensure that they are not discovered. It helps them adapt to this world in advance..."
"By the way, you can set some evil wizards who do evil things, make them itch, and let players hunt and defeat them. In this way, everyone's understanding of ordinary people will be strengthened, and they will not be so separated from each other. In the days to come, I have a hunch that wizards and Muggles will work together for a win-win situation!"
"The most important thing is to set up a research and sub-professional system that is realistic enough! Let wizards do magic experiments and conduct magic research in the game, and then intercept some of the information I have here and use it as mission rewards or ancient artifacts. The relics left behind will guide their research anyway..."
If you are too busy yourself, you can find someone to outsource it~
Hehehehe~ The highest state of free prostitution is to have people take the initiative to give themselves free prostitution. They don't even know it yet!
"The first expansion pack will be called "Molten Core" after the Land of Fire a few years ago!"
…
Ted originally thought that he would spend the night in the laboratory today. Unexpectedly, I received news from Hermione.
Ted came to the upper floor and said, "Hermione, it's so late, why don't you go back to the dormitory to sleep?"
"Oh, I can't sleep a bit, I have nothing to do..." Hermione looked around and talked to him.
Ted naturally noticed it, took his girlfriend's hand and asked: "Is there something wrong?"
"…Um."
"Tell me?"
“I’m not going back to sleep tonight?” Her face was slightly red and very pretty.
“Aren’t you going to go back to sleep? Do you want to help me do experiments?” Ted asked strangely.
Hermione held Ted's face and said, "Let's do a **** experiment! Make AI!" She went straight to him.
It turns out it’s not for experiments, but for games.
Do you know how long it has been since my magic power increased?
It has been more than a month since the school started! Who can bear it? !
You bastard, do you still want me to take the initiative? !
You are dead today!
Hermione didn't even eat breakfast the next day. Ted brought it back.
Fortunately it is Saturday, otherwise all the classes in the morning would have been cancelled. It can only be said that the effects of forces are mutual.
…
Flowers that have been moistened by rain and dew are extremely delicate and beautiful.
So much so that during lunch, Harry kept asking Hermione what cosmetics she used today and why her skin looked so radiant.
Hermione: "I know you are in a hurry, but don't be in a hurry. You will understand later~"
At this time, Neville seemed to have lost his appetite. The fork in my hand was about to poke the roasted potato into mashed potatoes.
Ron took the chicken leg and took a bite, savoring it beautifully. Seeing his friend's appearance, he couldn't help but ask: "What? Today's potatoes are not to your liking?"
“No.” Neville looked a little sick.
This state is not as good as Hermione who stayed up most of the night. She looked radiant after healing her demons.
"Are you awake?" Jerry asked, "I came back from a night trip last night and heard you talking in your sleep."
“What did you say?” Ron asked.
“Neville said - this time we will definitely succeed, hahahaha~” Jerry’s imitated laughter was very sinister~
Neville's face didn't look good either, and he whispered, "I had a nightmare."
The friends stopped talking.
Because when Neville has a nightmare, it means something bad has happened, and it is probably related to Voldemort.
In the past few days, I have finished coding in the middle of the night. Alas, the situation started to deteriorate again.
