Self-cultivation of the traveler of the world

Hearing Wang Xuebin's words, Professor McGonagall shook his head.

"Those owls will be fed by the house-elves, we don't need to worry about it!"

Hearing this, Wang Xuebin couldn't help showing a smile at the corner of his mouth. A large part of the reason why he didn't like raising animals was that he was too lazy to feed them.

It’s okay to be able to get in, but it’s a lack of patience for those who can’t get in!

It's all right now, someone is helping to feed it, and he only needs to enjoy the convenience brought by the owl. Such a good thing made him want to buy an owl too.

"Oh! Very good, very good!"

Seeing the smile on the corner of Wang Xuebin's mouth, Professor McGonagall also breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he is satisfied with the environment, if he is satisfied, he can be a little more confident in bargaining for a while!

There is no way, the salary that the school can provide to a teacher is really not generous, and it is fine if it is an ordinary person, but facing Wang Xuebin, who has an extremely superior quality of life on weekdays, it is a bit overwhelming.

Every time Professor McGonagall thought about Wang Xuebin's basic necessities of life, he would feel distressed. Even if he deducted a little from his expenses every day, it would be enough for Hogwarts to change a broomstick!

No way, people are poor and short of breath!

"Let's go, go see Professor Dumbledore first, as for the school, it's not too late to see it!"

"Ah? Alright! Mr. Gu Yi, please follow me!"

Seeing Wang Xuebin's urging, Professor McGonagall was slightly taken aback, and then reacted, carefully glanced at Wang Xuebin's face, and seeing his admiration, he was relieved.

"Dumbledore's office will continue to move forward, on the eighth floor of the tower next to the auditorium, next to the Gryffindor common room!

The first floor here is also where the people of the college eat three meals a day, which can accommodate 500 people to eat at the same time! "

As Professor McGonagall introduced, he led the way ahead.

"The second floor here is my office, and it's also where the classrooms for courses such as History of Magic, Transfiguration, and Muggle Studies are located. Your Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom is also here!"

As he spoke, Professor McGonagall pointed to a small door next to the marble staircase.

"This is my office and the place where I usually live. If you need anything in your life or teaching in the future, you can come here to find me anytime!"

Hearing Professor McGonagall's words, Wang Xuebin nodded slightly, looked around, and did not express any opinions.

"If you are a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts, your office and residence will be arranged on the third floor. Of course, if you have special needs, you can also ask me, and I will coordinate for you!"

"It's okay, let's talk about it!"

Seeing Wang Xuebin's still noncommittal tone, Professor McGonagall was slightly disappointed, but this emotion was only fleeting, and it was thrown behind him in an instant.

"The stairs leading to the principal's office are next to the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor's office. From here, you can go directly to the principal's office on the eighth floor!

Principal Dumbledore has already prepared refreshments upstairs, and is waiting for your visit. My introduction will end here. If you still have any questions, you can come to the second floor to ask me anytime!

Looking forward to working with you, Mr. Gu Yi! "

Hearing Professor McGonagall's words, Wang Xuebin couldn't help showing a smile from his heart, looked at Professor McGonagall, nodded slightly, and said sincerely:

"Me too, Professor Minerva, thank you for your introduction and your teaching. I am also very much looking forward to working with you. I believe that our fate will never end here!"

When Professor McGonagall heard such a sincere answer, she finally had a bottom line in her heart. Looking at Wang Xuebin, she said goodbye with a smile:

"Mr. Gu Yi, see you at the dinner party!"

"See you at the dinner party!"

Chapter 447 Goodbye Dumbledore

After bidding farewell to Professor McGonagall, Wang Xuebin turned his head and walked up the slightly narrow and cramped spiral staircase. After walking along the stairs for about 5 minutes, a vigorous old man appeared in front of Wang Xuebin.

This person is none other than Professor Dumbledore who has been waiting here for a while!

"Long time no see, Mr. Gu Yi, on behalf of Hogwarts College, I welcome you!"

Seeing Wang Xuebin's figure, Dumbledore smiled enthusiastically, took a step forward, and stretched out his right hand.

Seeing this, Wang Xuebin also smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and shook hands with Professor Dumbledore lightly, and said loudly:

"Haha, thank you for your invitation. I must admit that Hogwarts is indeed a fascinating place!"

Hearing Wang Xuebin's words, Dumbledore smiled again, took Wang Xuebin's left hand, and led him towards the principal's office.

"Believe me, as you learn more about Hogwarts, the charm of this castle will attract you more and more!"

"Haha, I never doubted this!"

Talking and laughing, the two walked forward, passing through a tapestry of Barnabas beaten by a huge troll club, and came to the staircase at the end of the corridor.

At the top of the stairs stood a huge stone statue with a height of one and a half people. Sensing the arrival of Wang Xuebin and Professor Dumbledore, it didn't mean to ask for the password at all, and directly revealed the steps hidden behind it!

This section of stairs is not too long, only about half a floor. When you walk to the end of the stairs, you can see a fluorescent oak door, and there is a bronze ring in the shape of a lion eagle's head hanging on the oak door!

It is said that this bronze ring, like the one on Ravenclaw, is the proud work of the great four giants, Ms. Rowena Ravenclaw.

Of course, the bronze ring at the door to the headmaster's office is nothing like the bronze ring in the Ravenclaw common room, which doesn't like to ask questions!

The only function of this ring is to guard the oak gate when the principal is away, preventing anyone with malicious intentions from sneaking into the principal's office!

You must know that the headmaster's office can be said to be the hub of the entire Hogwarts. Once someone with malicious intentions sneaks into it, it will definitely bring unimaginable disaster to Hogwarts.

Of course, if it was really the turn of this bronze ring to serve as the last line of defense and come in handy, Hogwarts would not be much better off.

Therefore, since the completion of this bronze ring, it has been regarded as an ornament. No one except the principal knows the function of this bronze ring!

Pushing open the oak door, Wang Xuebin was overwhelmed by the lively scene in the principal's office.

This is a spacious, beautiful circular room, but it is filled with all kinds of noisy noise like a vegetable market.

Principal Denise DeVante was holding the wand in her hand, pinching Principal Phineas Nigellus' nostrils, and pulling his hair with the other hand.

Principal Evra and Principal Fosque are standing in two picture frames and cursing at the street, their behavior is no different from that of ordinary shrews.

There were several other principals or vice-principals who were sitting in their portraits watching the excitement, and some were cheering with snacks in their hands. It was a lively scene.

Not only the portraits are lively, but also some gadgets in the office.

On the slender-legged table were many strange silverware, whirling and puffing out little puffs of smoke.

The smoke was like a hand, persistently chasing a big fiery red bird!

If Wang Xuebin's guess is correct, this big bird flying around and apparating from time to time should be the phoenix belonging to the Dumbledore family.

Phoenix was avoiding the shroud of smoke, and accidentally bumped into a huge claw-shaped table, which was good, and woke up the Sorting Hat that was placed on the partition behind the table.

For a moment, the entire principal's office was full of noisy scenes, but all of this came to an abrupt end the moment the principal's door opened.

The smoke instantly diffused in the air, exuding a fresh breath, and the phoenix also appeared on the gold-plated perch.

The Sorting Hat and the male and female old principals also seemed to lose their vitality in an instant, with their eyes closed and their mouths shut.

If it weren't for Principal Phineas Nigellus with a magic wand stuck in his nostril, Wang Xuebin might really think that the scene he saw just now was an illusion!

"...Welcome to my office, Mr. Gu Yi!"

Dumbledore's expression seemed to be indifferent, but the slightly twitching corners of his mouth still betrayed his true inner feelings.

This group of worry-free gadgets are ashamed to be thrown home!

"Hmm...nice office...really nice..."

Seeing Principal Phineas Nigellus, who was suddenly pulled out of his nostrils by Principal Dai Lisi DeVante but did not dare to cry out the pain, Wang Xuebin really didn't know what to say!

"...Thank you very much for your compliment, I have prepared a sumptuous refreshment for you, and please comment on the craftsmanship of the Hogwarts house elves!"

Dumbledore is indeed a well-informed person, he did not show the slightest embarrassment, he understands that as long as I am not embarrassed, the embarrassing is someone else's truth!

Wang Xuebin nodded politely, followed Dumbledore's figure to the large desk that belonged to him, and sat on the soft seat in front of the desk.

Dumbledore came to the back of the table, took out his wand from his pocket, and tapped lightly on the sterling silver goblet on the table, decorated with precious stones and engraved with many intricate patterns.

In just an instant, the empty table was filled with all kinds of snacks and drinks. There were so many tricks that it didn't look like the handwriting of the British!

"Well, try this, this is our Hogwarts unique Routley Fruit Pie, believe me, you will never eat such delicious food anywhere else!"

"Oh, thanks!"

Wang Xuebin took the hot chocolate that Dumbledore handed over, and then took a stack of biscuits with a rough shape that he handed over, and took a sip... Sure enough, the sweetness was a bit beyond the standard!

Gently put down the half-bitten biscuit, looked at Dumbledore pretending to be innocent, smiled slightly, and talked about the business of this visit.

"Hehe! Thank you Professor Dumbledore for the invitation. I do have the intention to work at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, but I don't know how Professor Dumbledore plans to accommodate me, a tourist from other places?"

Hearing Wang Xuebin talking about business, Dumbledore stopped making rounds, put down the black tea with three times the amount of sugar added, looked at Wang Xuebin, and said sincerely:

"Mr. Gu Yi, on behalf of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Witchcraft, I sincerely invite you to take up the position of professor of our school's Defense Against the Dark Arts class!

As the Headmaster of Hogwarts, I assure you that as long as you do not harm the interests of Hogwarts, Hogwarts will never sit idly by and allow you to be hurt by some unwarranted curses! "

"Haha, I naturally don't doubt the guarantee of the greatest white wizard of our time, so let me hear the conditions you can give!"

Chapter 448 Conditions

"condition..."

Hearing Wang Xuebin's words, Dumbledore fell silent for the first time. He lowered his head, straightened his long white beard, pondered for a moment, and said slowly:

"I'm sorry, Mr. Gu Yi, Hogwarts' funds are not abundant, and the monthly salary we can provide to each professor is only 130 Galleons!

Of course, at the end of each year, there should be a year-end bonus of not less than one month's salary.

Overall, we can provide you with an annual salary of 690 Galleons per year! "

Dumbledore said, looked up at the calm Wang Xuebin, raised his eyebrows slightly, and continued:

"But don't worry, the school will have other benefits in terms of remuneration.

You don’t need to spend money on food, housing, and medical treatment. Every year, two new wizard robes from Madam Malkin’s Robe Store in Diagon Alley will be provided, and you can choose custom styles.

During the school period, if you have any special skills that can gain economic benefits without affecting teaching, the college is also willing to endorse you in this regard.

Even if you have masterpieces such as magic potions and alchemy items, I can help you connect with the right buyers!

Believe me, if you join Hogwarts, your gains will be beyond your imagination! "

"Is Hogwarts so difficult..."

Hearing Dumbledore's narrow-minded words, Wang Xuebin felt somewhat disillusioned.

In his impression, Hogwarts is gorgeous, elegant, magical, and at the same time beyond the constraints of reality.

Unexpectedly, when he really came into contact with this college, he discovered that this school is no different from other schools.

It's just because there is an extra principal with lofty ideals, and a group of dedicated professors who are working hard to maintain the school.

Behind the fairy tale-like memories of the students are all the painstaking dedication of these faculty members who have fallen into the dust.

But such a magic academy not only did not disappoint Wang Xuebin, but made him even more fascinated!

There is no one who would not wish to be associated with a man of high morals, not even a villain.

Wang Xuebin very much believed that if he was with this group of people with good moral cultivation, even if he couldn't get Hogwarts Castle in the end, he would still have a good harvest!

After all, being a human being, being happy is the most important thing!

"Well, I can't say it's difficult, it can only be said that I'm not well-off, and some basic necessities of life can still be guaranteed!"

Hearing this, Wang Xuebin smiled freely, shrugged slightly, looked at Dumbledore, and said with a smile:

"Haha, I have to say, if you resign as the headmaster to start a business, no one in the entire magic world will be richer than you!"

As soon as the words fell, Dumbledore and Wang Xuebin laughed heartily at the same time.

What do you mean?

I agree!

If you don't agree, how can there be so much nonsense?

"I don't care about financial issues such as salary, I only have two small requirements here.

If you agree, I will accept the position of professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts.

If you can't accept it, we are still friends. If you need my help in the future, you can also let me know by letter. I don't want this matter to affect our friendship! "

"Oh! You said, I'm listening carefully!"

Rich experience taught Dumbledore not to promise easily.

Therefore, although he would very much like to have an experienced wizard to teach the students Defense Against the Dark Arts, he still dare not speak out.

Putting on a posture of listening attentively, quietly waiting for Wang Xuebin to propose conditions.

"First request, I want the school to provide me with a syllabus, but don't interfere with the way I teach!
