Archdruid of Hogwarts

After taking a nap, the little wizards started making noise again.

I don’t know who suggested it, but they went to a professional underground magic training ground to play a duel game. Even Hermione and Hannah were eager to try.

The Lilliputian adventure made them truly feel their own lack of combat power.

In Hermione's private words: "Ernie shouldered all the key points alone. This cannot be explained by 'money ability'.

Ernie shows us how powerful an 11-year-old wizard can be, and whatever the reason, we shouldn't be too far behind.

Anyway, if I wasn't strong enough, I would be embarrassed to let Ernie take me on adventures. "

Harry and the others also have self-esteem, but they just can't quantify the 'strong' in Hermione's words.

"What level does it take to be considered strong?" Harry asked Hermione.

Hermione couldn't help but said, "Anyway, it's still far from enough."

Therefore, Iron Triangle actually pays great attention to practical combat skills.

At this party, after listening to each other's stories about how they used their magic skills to show off in front of their classmates and even senior students, I suddenly felt a little bit anxious and wanted to compete.

"You go, I want to study the knowledge of the Mirror of Erised." Ernie said and handed Hannah a golden card.

"what is this?"

"Battle card, please help Dumbledore get it. Pay attention to safety."

Hermione said dissatisfied: "I've never heard you say that before."

"It didn't take long to complete. I never thought you would be able to use it now."

"Isn't it difficult?" Ron interjected, with an expression of "the harder it is, the more interesting it is", which seemed a bit unsatisfying, and probably a bit inflated.

"Well...it's indeed a bit difficult for you now. You can go to the showroom to arm yourself and then challenge." Ernie scolded unceremoniously. After all, that set of gadgets was used by him for practice, and now Hermione and the others were playing together, and he was also a younger brother.

It's not that he is dozens of blocks higher than Hermione and the others, but that he can forcefully master some spells, but Hermione and the others cannot.

The authority established by Ernie made the five little wizards obediently go to the showroom first.

The showroom is in the attic. It was originally used to store miscellaneous items. In response to new needs, the space was expanded by the expansion spell.

To this end, Ernie spent a small sum of money and asked Dumbledore to make some repairs from the outside of the Shrieking Shack, including integrating the three magic circles of Hogwarts into it.

Otherwise, with the original dilapidated condition of the Screaming Shack, it is no longer enough to stably carry such a huge expansion spell pattern.

In the showroom, the artifacts used by the six people during their adventures in Lilliput are listed one by one, including gadgets in their pockets, invisibility cloaks, masks, and souvenirs.

Ernie was not short of money and thought it would be more ceremonial and honorable. He even included a text description while displaying it, engraved on a bright copper plate, and signed by several people.

Hermione stood in front of her own display cabinet and said proudly: "In the future, I will expand the display room into a display hall to display more glorious deeds and glorious moments."

Harry glanced at Hermione's golden crown of Lilliput representing the MVP with some envy, and said, "Next time I take risks, I will fight for the first place."

Ron said bitterly: "What if my suit is damaged during training? I hope it will always be as perfect as it is now."

"Use the Restoration Charm," Justin said.

"Can't a normal repair spell work?"

"Then ask Ernie for a loan." Justin shrugged.

Ron scratched his red hair into a mess: "It feels so bad to be in debt!"

Hermione patted Ron on the shoulder like an adult: "You should read books on how to manage your own life. If you are interested, I can recommend a few."

"How many more books? I don't want to read any of them. Can't I be free to do what I want to do? It's so difficult for me!"

Hermione rolled her eyes, ignored Ron, took the healing spray and left first.

This magic item has no expiration date. As long as it is stored properly, it can be used whenever.

Likewise, it becomes part of the display, but if you replenish it after it is used up, you will have to pay the price.

As for the delicious wind snake, you have to ask Ernie for it.

Ernie completed the achievement "Where is the Hidden Fish" in the inner universe, and thus obtained the toy "Compressed Ocean" and exchanged it.

In this way, he can summon a huge ocean bubble (like a miniature version of the entire ocean planet wrapped in the atmosphere) anytime and anywhere to catch fish in the world of Yamaguchi Mountain.

Super cost effective.

Among them are mutated fish, which are of little use at ordinary times. After accumulating, they make delicious wind snakes and store them in Yamaguchiyama six-grid linen bags that will not spoil the food.

Naturally, he made this bag himself. He learned from Tailor Yamaguchi and kneaded a few sets of linen cloth, and his skill level was enough to make a linen bag. The investment cost was very low, and he didn't feel bad about washing off his skills afterwards.

Magical items like the Delicious Wind Snake are available in the Screaming Shack, which is the campus secret society activity room. They can be purchased in vending machines with treasure coins.

Speaking of treasure coins, Ernie came up with this because he was so annoyed by Hermione.

There are lazy debt lords like Ron, and there are academic masters and money-making experts like Hermione.

There is a lot of valuable information, and even the meal tickets for next year have been exchanged. What should I do?

And Hermione was not satisfied with her desires. After experiencing the adventure in Lilliput and knowing that Ernie had many good things, she obviously wanted more. what to do?

Ernie thought of the Continental Hotel and Killer Gold in John Wick that he had seen in his previous life, as well as the famous Treasure Island and other films.

So the treasure coin was born.

Magic currency made from a mixture of platinum and gold. The background color of the wall is platinum and the pattern is gold. For internal circulation, it can only be placed in a special purse, otherwise it will fly away with a 'ping' if it is left in someone's hands for a period of time.

Ernie still can't handle this magical power, but he can do it with money.

The job was taken over by Dumbledore, who would sometimes come to the Secret Society to buy some gadgets for the Order of the Phoenix, such as the healing spray that even Nick Flamel had promised.

Of course, it was much more difficult for Dumbledore to earn treasure coins than Hermione and the others, so there was no secret discount.

It was through this method that Ernie got Dumbledore to work for him in disguise and help build the new training hall.

After the little wizards came to the training hall, as Hannah inserted the card into the special slot, the humble room immediately turned into a mansion, and the originally empty basement became a high-end CS game venue.

The little wizards quickly mastered the gameplay and suddenly felt that simple duel was too low. This is more fun. You can PK in groups or against virtual opponents together, and you can also adjust the opponent's level. It's not too fun.

Harry and the others yelled and played for the whole afternoon. They were exhausted, and finally they couldn't play any more, so they reluctantly left.

Justin asked Ernie: "Practical training is so fun, can it be opened regularly?"

"Not yet. On the one hand, it consumes a lot of magic power. On the other hand, it's the principle."

Ernie further explained: "Why wasn't Hogwarts built into a magic gladiatorial camp? There wasn't even a decent magic combat class?

There are many reasons, but one of them is to guide the value orientation of the little wizards.

The wizarding world doesn't need a bunch of citizens who only use violence to solve problems.

Moreover, those who are good at swimming will drown, and those who are good at riding will fall. Even if they can win in duels, they cannot say that they can avoid sieges and sneak attacks. "

Hermione and the others looked at each other and said to themselves, "Okay, it's another preaching lesson!"

Ernie said: "Adults generally believe that it is better for young wizards to master as few skills as possible before their minds are mature enough.

From my point of view, I agree with it in theory. Lack of control can easily lead to disaster.

Just like Voldemort, it is precisely because he knows that few people are his opponents that he becomes unscrupulous. Anyone who disobeys him will be retaliated by him, often directly using violence.

You may ask, how could I become Voldemort?

But I want to say that the original Voldemort did not necessarily want to become the person who later became a hateful ghost.

His path was also taken step by step. From being a boy in an orphanage to making a pure-blood wizard bow to his knees, there is more than just ambition and madness here.

Well, actual combat training will not be available for the time being. Until some kind of mental assessment is completed, during this period, you can try to accumulate treasure coins. Practical training is expensive. "

Justin and Ron immediately lamented, and the other three also looked discouraged.

Seeing this, Ernie was dissatisfied and added to the lesson: "In addition, I hope you will use your power carefully. There is an old saying in the East, 'He who started the figurines has no descendants?'

This means that if you try to use a magic wand to solve other people's problems, others will try to use their magic wand to solve your problem. Not to mention who is right and who is wrong, are you sure you are willing to bear the corresponding price?

This is different than our adventure, which was against bad wizards and we disguised it. This is school, the other party is an alumnus you will see in the next few years, and there are a lot of onlookers. "

The little wizards were thoughtful.

Ernie continued: "I don't believe any of you want to create a bully image in the minds of your alumni.

But the problem is that your image in the minds of others depends not only on what you do, but also on what others think.

Why are private fights prohibited in schools?

In addition to insufficient safety protection, which can easily lead to tragedy, there is another important reason.

That is the private battles of little wizards, often lacking strict rules and an arbiter that both parties can agree on.

People always habitually attribute success to themselves (strong abilities) and blame failures to external factors (pig teammates). At the same time, the success of others is attributed to external factors (good conditions), and failure is attributed to internal factors (people are not good). "

Hermione shouted in her heart: "You must remember this!"

Ernie continued: “So it’s not formal and has double standards, so is it easy to lose and become unconvinced?

Coupled with jealousy, some people even make bad jokes to stoke the flames. Is the image worrying?

Then the situation of hearsay and spreading rumors that we discussed last time occurs again. Is your image in the minds of others becoming more and more precarious?

Therefore, violence should not be given priority in solving problems. If you have to, try your best to be courteous and aboveboard.

However, it is easier said than done. Even adults may not be able to do this, let alone those of us who are growing up? It can be said that many of our peers do not even have the concept of this aspect.

It’s a momentary pleasure to pretend to beep, and social death is on the spot. (Ron: This sentence is good, this sentence is good)

This is where mental assessment was born.

As for since I don't plan to let you use it, I still want to let you experience such interesting practical training.

This is another very important reason.

Danger.

I believe that through this training, you will have a more intuitive understanding of the gap between yourself and adult wizards.

I hope you will be more vigilant and more aware of danger than other students. After all, the wizarding world is never short of darkness and danger.

Finally, my brothers and sisters, I have a lot of expectations for you. You must grow up quickly so that you can be freed from my thoughts as soon as possible, haha! "
