Archdruid of Hogwarts

Ernie's sermon continued.

He said: "Things at least have pros and cons. Although being beaten hurts, it can also become a motivation for progress.

Being indolent and indolent is the instinct of life. Only with enough motivation can you drive yourself to continue to carry out some counter-instinct activities. Study, work, adventure, etc.

Some people can transform motivation better and are always full of energy.

Some people are like cows and horses. They have to be whipped before they move. If they are not whipped, they are free and loose. They can do anything but don't want to do serious things.

I actually came from the latter, but I was corrected after paying a sufficient price. "

Ron sighed: "I really hope I can be corrected without paying the price!"

Ernie smiled: "What do you think I am doing here with you, other than to make you pay less?

If you listen to what I say, even if you just stick to it for a week or two, you will get a week or two of rewards at a very low cost. "

This time, the little wizards became more serious.

To be honest, based on their age and cognitive base, Ernie's nagging was indeed not easy to accept. Moreover, each other's knowledge structure is also different, and the degree of understanding and absorption is different.

However, one good thing about wizards is that their extraordinary powers make them mentally powerful.

Perception, which sounds like a mysterious concept, can be said to be a high-level expression of 'intuition'. For wizards, it is a real ability.

This ability allows the wizard to more easily identify the other party's true emotions and attitudes.

Therefore, Harry and the others knew that Ernie had very good intentions and was passing on his experience and knowledge to them. Even if they don't agree, it's most likely not because what Ernie said is wrong, but because they themselves are wrong or don't understand it well.

It is precisely because of this that when some of Ernie's words prick their itch and resonate with them, their attitude will be much better.

This is an increase in the level of carelessness.

However, the main principle that needs to be said has already been explained at this time.

Ernie concluded with a slightly lyrical personal recognition: "In fact, from a certain perspective, everyone's life is probably like this. Run, rest, and run again. Those who can keep running deserve to be Winner in life.”

Hermione's eyes sparkled when she heard this, and she almost blurted out: "I am! I can do it!"

Hannah's eyes were also bright, but unlike Hermione, she was comparing Ernie's statement with the tutor's relevant knowledge, which was another form of information digestion.

Harry and Justin were trying to remember what Ernie said.

It has to be said that Ernie's nagging is straightforward, but the truth is very profound, at least for the two of them, and they need to digest it slowly. It is more difficult to digest than magic food.

Ron paid more attention to the scene, just like reading a book. It would be unfair to say that he didn't take it seriously at all, but it didn't matter how serious he was. He just chatted and remembered as much as he could after chatting.

He shrugged: "To be honest, I don't really want to run."

Ernie laughed: "Hong Kong is a kind of life. For example, as long as you master the hypnotic spell, the calming spell, and be able to cast spells without a wand, you can go to the mortal world and work as a psychiatrist.

Mortal people living in cities are under great psychological pressure, and many suffer from depression. As long as your methods are effective, you can also make money from underworld.

Or if you are eloquent, you can work as a medium and summon someone's ghost to act as a translator to chat with customers, and you can get paid.

If you are not afraid of danger, it is also good to do special logistics. Use apparation + expansion spell to carry large bags, transport goods that are neither white nor black, and earn freight.

In short, extraordinary abilities are a skill that no one has in the mortal world. As long as they are not discovered by Aurors and sent to Azkaban, it is not difficult to live a small life. "

"Yeah, that's fine, but let's forget it. Let my mother know that she has to beat me to death!"

Ernie was really amused this time, and said to himself: "Your mother's intimidation power is still higher than that of Azkaban. It seems that in the future, 'Ron, your mother calls you home for dinner' will be used as a special summon." The curse will work very well."...

Ernie actually helped Harry after all.

Of course, there is still some sense of propriety. There was no reason for him to destroy Dumbledore's well-intentioned training of Harry just to show off.

He gave Audio-Technica a more down-to-earth advice and included a message.

He said: "Since we are conducting a secret investigation, we cannot avoid violating school rules. We cannot avoid Filch.

Filch was a stumbling block, but he couldn't be treated harshly.

Then you have to learn how to fight him.

If you can beat him, you will get the spoils. It wasn’t mine, but in Filch’s drawer was the Marauder’s Map made by the ‘Predators’ headed by James Potter.

When activated, this map can show the whereabouts of everyone as long as they are walking on the ground.

With the Marauder's Map, you can at least know who is the person who stays up late at night and sneaks around. "

The Audio-Technica's eyes lit up when they heard this.

Even Justin was interested in the James Potter Four, whose stories he had heard Ernie tell at the Shrieking Shack during his adventures in Lilliput.

Unexpectedly, they also invented such a magical magic item. If it were not for the geographical restriction, its effect would definitely rival that of ancient magic weapons.

Hannah asked: "Ernie, why do you always know some unknown secrets?"

"Do you believe my ability?"

Hannah shook her head.

"Then let me tell you, something similar to how you used the library to copy valuable information as meal tickets also happened in the large library affiliated to the Ministry of Magic, and even among the people. The only difference is that the reward is not meal tickets, but gold galleons. Do you believe it?"

Now, Hannah couldn't say she didn't believe it.

Ernie smiled and said to himself: "Very good, I have thought of this day for a long time. It seems that my advance arrangements are still appropriate."...

In the blink of an eye, it was mid-December, and the area where Hogwarts was located finally received some decent snow.

In fact, even if it doesn't snow, it can still snow in a small area as long as Hogwarts needs it.

Therefore, Christmas at Hogwarts is always very grand, with plenty of snow as a backdrop, but there is no Santa Claus. It is said that the blind Santa Claus has been killed a few times. Unfortunately, there has been no such thing since the Victorian period. Extra entertainment.

Since that large sermon lunch, Ernie has not given any sermon classes, mainly because he is busy practicing.

He no longer pays much attention to the universe and carries out inefficient practice.

Instead, practice magic circle repair in reality.

The mysterious Hogwarts is supported by a large number of magic circles. It can be understood as the various components of an institution building or a large clock tower, assembled and working in an orderly manner.

The system is old, and many of it is on the verge of being scrapped.

Dumbledore, McGonagall and others invested their energy in repairing it.

But this is a drop in the bucket.

From a certain point of view, trying to maintain the castle system is like an upgraded and expanded version of Ernie's internal renovation of the Screaming Shack. He casts spells over and over again until the structure is stabilized, and then begins daily maintenance.

At present, the school can only guarantee the daily maintenance of key parts.

For example, there are four branches.

Dumbledore is responsible for the daily maintenance of main facilities outside the branch, such as the Great Hall, etc. The only thing left is to repair it if you have time.

This depends on the dedication of the professors and personal preferences.

It's a pity that I, Da Ying, have never regarded "hard work" as a virtue, and even think that this word has a certain derogatory connotation. After all, he is really anti-human.

Therefore, it is easy to understand things like the escalator convulsing from time to time.

Although Hogwarts is in decline, those who want to engage in related rescue work still require very high qualifications, and not just anyone can do it.

And Ernie can join this ranks mainly because of Dumbledore's small efforts.

From a certain perspective, this is yet another reward from Dumbledore for his efforts.

To be more specific, it involves Lilliput.

Lilliput is really a country that has been operating for nearly two hundred years.

Three parts:

A baron's castle used to rob people, brainwash them and domesticate them.

A magic factory used to produce various equipment.

A mining city used to excavate magical relics.

Others include micro-farms and the like.

The Baron Castle system, is obtained in the amusement park. There are more than 10,000 people.

The magic factory was discovered in Kaa's lair.

It is an industrial base similar to a sweatshop in the mid-19th century, with an associated worker community with a population of more than . Like the Baron Castle, it has formed a society.

Adding the two together, it’s almost fifty thousand. You must know that Newport, the third largest city in Wales, has a population of just over 100,000.

It is not difficult to imagine the complexity of managing this stall.

Of course, it depends on what the rulers are trying to do to improve the people's living standards. If they want to be treated in line with the treatment of contemporary British citizens, hehe...
