The Mightiest Badger at Hogwarts

Having said this, Link's eyes changed when he looked at Principal Doug.

Although this frail old man behaved so humblely in front of that group of despicable people at the moment, he was even a little flattering.

But in Link's eyes, his rickety and thin figure was getting taller and taller, until he became a giant standing tall and tall!

"call!"

Taking a deep breath with some emotion, Link turned his head and looked at Krum again, who had gradually calmed down, and said:

"How much does Madame Maxime intend to pay for Durmstrang?"

"Buy!? You're right! She doesn't want to form an alliance with Durmstrang at all, but wants to buy..." Krum's anger was aroused by Link's words again, but this time it lasted longer It didn't take long, and soon he became depressed and said, "50, she is willing to pay 50 gold galleons! Merlin, is what we are doing here really meaningful? No matter how humble we behave, these stingy There is no way a ghost would give us 50 gold galleons..."

Hearing this, Link's brows wrinkled.

Since he was born in the Foley family, Link has never worried about money since he traveled to this world.

But that doesn't mean he knows nothing about the concept of gold galleons.

In fact, as the future heir of the Foley family, Link has already conducted a lot of in-depth research and understanding of the economic system of the wizarding world while investigating the Foley family's industry.

The first thing Link learned was that the value of the wizard's currency, Gold Galleons, was far higher than he imagined.

The so-called exchange rate of one gold Galleons for five pounds in the original book is just a preferential policy between the Ministry of Magic and Gringotts for pure Muggle students at Hogwarts. Wizard students from other backgrounds are not eligible to exchange, and even if they are For Muggle students, there is also an upper limit on the amount of gold galleons that can be exchanged from pounds sterling each year, but it is not unlimited.

This is a logical thing. After all, things like pounds have no meaning at all to wizards. They can just use a little transformation to create a lot of them.

On this basis, the purchasing power of gold galleons in the wizarding world is also quite amazing.

You must know that Mr. Weasley, who works in a government agency like the Ministry of Magic with extremely high welfare benefits (although he is not popular and has a very low position), his monthly salary is only 50 gold galleons.

He used these 50 gold galleons to feed the 9 members of the Weasley family, and also supported his 7 children in education!

Not only that, he was even able to save his own money to spend a full 50 gold galleons on his Muggle car modified by the Flying Demon!

If this is not enough to prove how strong the purchasing power of gold galleons is, then the prize money from the Triwizard Tournament is another powerful example.

As an international event that is jointly organized by many prestigious schools and attracts the attention of the whole society, its championship prize is only a mere 1000 gold galleons!

In addition, there is also the 700 gold galleons grand prize that Mr. Weasley won from the Daily Prophet and the 10000 gold galleons reward for facing a big criminal like Black who caused panic in the whole society!

All these can prove that 50 gold galleons is definitely a huge amount of money that is enough to stop the heartbeats of most people in the world!

So the question becomes, how could Maxim get such a large sum of money?

You must know that Durmstrang and Hogwarts, among the three most prestigious universities in Europe, have always been in a situation where they cannot make ends meet. Among them, Durmstrang cannot get rid of the financial deficit even with the income from overseas tuition fees. It still needs external support. The school director gave a blood transfusion.

Link didn't think that Beauxbatons, which had the same tuition-free policy as Hogwarts, would be rich.

After pondering there for a moment, Link rubbed his brow and asked Krum:

"Is it possible that Ms. Maxim is deceiving you? As far as I know, she cannot have such a large sum of money."

"No, Link, you are wrong. That crazy woman Maxim piled up 50 gold coins in the principal's office and showed it to us. We also investigated whether she was bluffing. But Facts have proved that Beauxbatons is really rich!"

Krum smiled bitterly, "You know Nico Flamel, right? He was born in Beauxbatons and is an outstanding alumnus of Beauxbatons. He has been funding Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry over the years!"

As soon as these words came out, Link suddenly realized.

Nico Flamel is the maker of the famous Philosopher's Stone!

With the help of the Philosopher's Stone, he and his wife truly achieved immortality and have lived from the fourteenth century to the present!

As the greatest alchemist in the history of alchemy, the wealth he accumulated over hundreds of years is absolutely astronomical!

Now he understood why Maxim got 50 gold galleons, and finally understood why those Beauxbatons students showed disgust at the reception at Hogwarts during the Triwizard Tournament.

With Nico Flamel as his sponsor, how much money does Maxim want?

Naturally, the daily treatment that Beauxbatons students enjoy is far superior to that of Hogwarts students!

The most terrible thing is that Nico Flamel is said to be tired of living. Since 1992, he has given the only remaining Sorcerer's Stone to Dumbledore. While starting the plot of the Sorcerer's Stone, he and his wife waited calmly. Death, I don’t know if he is dead now.

It would be okay if he didn't die, but if he died...

What a terrifying legacy will Nicolas Flamel leave to Beauxbatons?

In a fight for wealth with such a monster, even if Link had the Forley family and the Beckman family all in, it wouldn't be enough.

Holding on to his last bit of hope, Link sighed and said:

"Krum, what is the attitude of the professors at your school towards this matter now? I mean, are they forced to compromise because of the situation, or are they happily preparing to sell Durmstrang at a good price? ?”

After hearing this, Krum, who was still immersed in sadness, suddenly raised his head.

By now, even he had roughly understood what Link meant.

He grabbed Link's hand and said excitedly:

"Except for a very few greedy guys, most of our old professors have special feelings for Durmstrang. If it hadn't been for the sudden withdrawal of funds from the International Federation of Wizards, the school would really be unable to operate. , even if you give them more money, they will not let Durmstrang be annexed by Beauxbatons!

Link, we don't need 50 gold galleons at all! 20...No!It only costs 10 gold galleons!Even if life is harder!We can continue to support it! "

Looking at Krum, who was trembling all over and looking at him with pleading eyes like a puppy, Link hesitated for a moment and finally nodded:

"If you only need 10 gold galleons, I can provide the money on behalf of the Foley family."

"Really? Oh! Merlin...this is so wonderful...Thank you Link! You are so..."

Krum pulled Link and spoke incoherently. He was now so excited that he almost lost his mind. If Arkham hadn't been dragging Link's legs with his tail, Link would have estimated that Krum would definitely kill him. Pick him up and spin him around.

Link struggled to shake off Krum, and then continued:

"Don't thank me. There are not many people with such noble character as you and Principal Doug nowadays. Such people must be rewarded instead of begging from despicable people.

Besides, you don't represent Durmstrang.I think it's best for you to ask Principal Doug for advice now. "

As soon as he said this, Krum, who was still rushing towards Link to hug him, used his strong and flexible body to make a difficult sharp turn and jumped into the crowd with a big smile.

By the time Krum explained everything clearly and brought Professor Doug back, Link had already tidied up his clothes that had been messed up by Krum, and bowed respectfully to Professor Doug, who was already aging. :

"It's an honor to meet you, Principal Doug."

"Oh! Child... oh no, it should be Mr. Foley!" Principal Doug said tremblingly, "I must confirm with you again that you are really willing to donate 10 gold galleons to Demster Long Magic School?”

"Dear Principal Doug, you can just call me Link." Link said with a smile, "As you can see, I am the sole heir of the Foley family. Our Foley family has always attached great importance to the wizarding world. Regarding education, we have become the sole trustee of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry a few years ago and provide massive financial aid to Hogwarts every year. Now, we are very willing to provide the same to Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Help! For example - a donation of one hundred thousand gold galleons!"

Krum's voice was very loud when he explained to Principal Doug, so now many curious people gathered around Link and Doug.

When Link said this, not to mention the declining nobles, even the members of the Despicable Alliance who had seen big money were shocked.

You know - that's a full 10 gold galleons!

"Clap clap clap!"

Old lady Schwartz, who was the most adventurous, was the first to react and began to applaud vigorously.

This seems to be a signal.

Immediately, countless applause and flattery rang out from the banquet hall, instantly drowning Link.

Listening to their compliments, Link felt that the respectful expressions on these people's faces and their compliments were extremely hypocritical.

He knew very well that these people had regarded him as a fool who had a lot of money and was prone to overflowing love. They were looking forward to using all kinds of more miserable stories to get some benefits out of him.

Link would naturally not pay attention to these people.

His eyes were always focused on Principal Doug's face.

At this moment, Principal Doug was trembling so much that he could only stand with Klum's support. At the same time, he kept repeating words like 'thank you' and 'thank you'. He was obviously extremely excited.

The surrounding environment was too noisy. Link stepped forward and hugged Principal Doug gently, and said sincerely in his ear:

"You don't need to thank me. After all, I have something to ask for. Of course, I won't go too far. You just need to give me the same rights as the Hogwarts school director."

"well……"

"In this case, let's discuss the detailed terms later. This is not the place to talk about things."

Link smiled and was about to step back, only to find that Principal Doug, who looked extremely weak, had grabbed his wrist, and he couldn't break free for a while.

"Let's go to Durmstrang now!"

Principal Doug gasped.

Link was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then he patted Principal Doug's hand and said:

"Principal Doug, you are too anxious. You still need to go back and communicate with other professors in the school about this matter. In addition, I also need to allocate funds for you, right? The day after tomorrow, we will visit Demus again the day after tomorrow. Trump."

"You must come!"

"of course."

"Must come..."

……

It took Link almost an hour to successfully coax the excited Principal Doug back into peace.

Seeing him and Krum stepping back into the fireplace and disappearing, Link lost interest in staying here, and left the banquet hall with Beckman regardless of the attempts of the Despicable Alliance and other minor nobles to stay.

They did not use the floo network like Krum and the other two, but opened the door and returned the way they came.

"Why do this?"

The two walked in silence on the dark forest path for a long time, and then Beckman asked softly.

He has been curious about this question for a long time.

The reason why I didn't ask in the banquet hall before was because there were many people, and because Link was doing things in the name of the Foley family. Although he was Link's elder, he had no reason to interfere.

What's more, he believed that Link would never be someone who could just throw out 10 gold galleons out of kindness.

Link, who had been walking in front, suddenly turned his head when he heard this.

It was only then that Beckman suddenly discovered that Link's eyes were frighteningly bright in this darkness!

"What do you think a magic school is?"

Link said.

Compared with his fiery eyes, his tone of voice was as calm as a glacier in the far north.

This question stopped Beckman in his tracks.

Fortunately, Beckman was also very cunning. He quickly thought about it a few times before planning to say something meaningless and throw the question back.

But before he could speak, Link continued:

"Magic schools are what our wizard ancestors modeled on Muggle schools.

When creating magic schools, those ancestors, out of good and great original intentions, almost completely referred to the ideas of Muggles, and set the concept of magic schools to refer to the planned and organized education by educators. An organization that conducts systematic magic education activities.

But those ancestors who founded magic schools obviously forgot one thing, that is, wizards are different from Muggles. "

A group of dark, ominous, ferocious flames exuding terrifying heat suddenly ignited from the palm of Link's raised hand, dancing crazily in the evening breeze in the forest.

But at the next moment, Link strangled it completely with force!

"We wizards have the most powerful power in the world - magic!

With the blessing of magic, even the weakest wizard student has the power to kill others easily!

If such a force has the devoted teachings of professors and some ideological guidance, then the magic school will become an arsenal that can continuously produce wizard soldiers! "
