Archdruid of Hogwarts

School is about to start, and Ernie is organizing the things he needs to study.

First, take the list and go to your home library to find books.

The characteristic of a big family is that it’s nice to pretend to be a good person, but it’s tiring to live in it. Going from the living room to the library is more laborious than going down to the door of the unit on the fifth floor to buy steamed buns in my previous life.

Along the way there are beautifully carved and magnificent buildings, and the scenery inside and outside is good, but no matter how beautiful it is, it will still make you tired of looking at it, let alone not feeling better in the universe.

Whether it's the spore forest in Zangarmarsh, Nagrand with floating peaks, or the starry sky in Shadowmoon Valley, the red grasslands of Suramar, etc., the scenery is truly magical, like the scene of Pandora in the movie {Avatar} , in comparison, they all seem too gaudy and not atmospheric enough.

After appreciating the scenery, what you see in front of you is just a collection of works full of craftsmanship.

The natural marble floor on the main road is eye-catching, and Ernie deliberately chose a simple and timeless color contrast of black and white squares.

Even so, he still disliked the fact that the whole building looked as shiny as newly minted porcelain, and wished he could hire professionals to make it look older.

It was really the increasingly unbridled gossip outside that annoyed him.

"Daily Prophet", the third revival of the MacMillan family, when it was all-powerful, the mother of the founder of the newspaper dared to call the MacMillan family a nouveau riche even before she was pregnant with him. Even talking about the newly ordered furniture for this mansion.

Isn't it just that I ordered the collector's edition of the "Encyclopedia of the Magical World" series?

It turns out that the Macmillan family also has a set of 3,000 simplified editions, and they are the only two pure-blood wizarding families in England to own this set of books.

Being able to buy it at that time was not because the MacMillan family was older and more sophisticated than the Black family, but because the MacMillan family was at a peak period in the history of the family and had the financial resources to purchase it.

At that time, the Malfoy family also emerged from the trough, and actively searched for marriages with ancient families in an attempt to make their own blood more noble.

But at that time, the families were not interested in Malfoy, who had a dark history and a bad family tradition.

So the Malfoy family did a gimmick and spent a lot of money to sell a set, as if this would allow their descendants to run on the road to a scholarly family.

But according to rumors, it is not all complete. Some of them were wrong and inferior editions that should have been destroyed.

But no matter what, the advertising effect at that time was still there, and the Malfoy family successfully married the Black family for the first time.

Originally, Ernie wouldn't be too impressed even if he knew about this kind of thing.

However, MacMillan's ancestral home was seized, and a third of the set of books was eventually lost. And just a few months ago, Lucius Malfoy deliberately pretended to be false, confusing right and wrong and distorting the truth of the year. He said that the Malfoy family had the financial resources to buy a complete set. MacMillan was trying to make a fool of himself. Shoddy goods as good ones...

This is obviously a provocation.

He thought to himself: "You want me to come out and talk to you about some old books? I'm afraid you don't know how my foundation makes money under the guidance of the prophet. You are more disgusting than a peacock man!" "

Especially after reaching an agreement to cooperate with Dumbledore, Ernie was not prepared to endure it any longer.

He has long seen that this kind of vanity fair is like dancing a tango. If you retreat, others will advance. He will only be proud of himself for being able to press forward step by step, and will not be touched by the tolerance of others.

If this continues, maybe soon, the Ministry of Magic will dare to send an official document and come to the house to find the rare books that were wrongly paid due to confusion in the accounts during the transfer.

So he directly donated the old set that was incomplete, repaired it, and bought this rare collection of ten thousand books.

Those who donate are not in vain. Books were precious in ancient times, and unless someone was sure to buy them, a large series like this wouldn't buy thousands of copies.

This means that each set is actually a batch, has its own ISBN, and even looks different.

He just wanted to make this set of incomplete and complete ancient books accessible to everyone, so that they could become familiar with its details.

He wanted to see if Lucius Malfoy dared to show off his sexual disguises in front of visitors. Their family had a complete set of ancient editions!

The Macmillan Family Library covers an area of ​​more than 100 square meters and has a collection of about 14,000 books. It is one-tenth the size of the Hogwarts Library. It has stairs and a second-floor circular passage like a shopping mall patio. The Sutra Pavilion he designed is full of flavor.

However, when Ernie first browsed the MacMillan family's book collection, he found it ironic.

He remembered saying to Selina: "Look, so many books are brand new and have not been opened. They are arty and spend a lot of money to install beeping stuff..."

This was his understanding at that time. For this reason, he even ridiculed the Ministry of Magic, because the relatively most complete series of objects brought back from the Ministry of Magic were books.

Therefore, the entire wizarding world is filled with an atmosphere of uneducated and ignorant people living in idleness. It is easy for Ernie to think of the Eight-Flags disciples who carry birds out of cages every day. No sense of inconsistency.

But later, after living in this relatively completely renovated large villa for a period of time, Ernie's personal experience made Ernie feel a lot calmer. The perspective of looking at the problem has also changed.

He felt that his previous thoughts had fallen into a misunderstanding.

We, the Great Britain, our wizarding world, our pure-blood family, have our own national conditions and family conditions of plunderers. We should not look at the problem from the perspective of China's hardship and simplicity.

To put it harshly, even if it is a waste, it also means that you can only waste it if you have it.

Moreover, isn't there a saying: it takes three generations to develop a true noble.

Since ancient times, China has also had a saying about scholarly families.

This means that it takes ten years of unremitting maintenance to maintain Qi and transplant the body. Only through the promotion of environmental atmosphere and the cultivation of habits can the family's behavior be completely changed and the previous grassroots, market and pirate atmosphere be transformed. , Taobao will be of a higher quality and will not be noticed.

So from this perspective, looking at the libraries and study rooms of the MacMillan family, and even many pure-blood powerful families, it can be completely understood that "I want to go ashore to clear my name, just to use money to create an atmosphere." Is that wrong?

One day, I suddenly felt interested and went to read a book. It was not in vain, it was meaningful.

This means having money, this means not being afraid of waste, this means you can only say that I am not willing to play, but you cannot say that without this facility, I cannot play.

Behind the poor appearance is the lack of self-confidence caused by not having, seeing, and experiencing. Then, if you turn around and act like a monster, you may cultivate an overly confident and arrogant guy, but at least he won’t have stage fright and will be bullish at all times. This kind of wealth shown in every detail is not the dignity pursued by powerful and wealthy people. A kind of?

Looking at it this way, you can see that he is not stupid, but his wealth allows him to be willful and promiscuous.

Ernie has never failed to reflect on himself and ask himself: Is it because my butt is here that it breeds a mentality of cleaning up and leaving it here to dry cleaning?

After thinking about it, I felt that I couldn't say that. Rather, it should be said that if you are not in your position, you will not do what you want.

From the perspective of a bystander, that is the view of the bystander, speak lightly, and even just pick out what you don't like, and believe what you want to believe.

He is now a party. It's just another feeling.

He discovered what it was like to be rich, and it was so exciting.

The vanity of spending money to enjoy, the sense of inflation of being praised by people from all walks of life, the worry of maintaining or even gaining more wealth, the fear of being robbed of the God of Wealth, and the paranoia caused by Tang Monk being plotted all the time. …

He thought to himself: "Being rich is really a dangerous profession. Fortunately, I have a golden finger to hold you in. Isn't it difficult to understand if someone with no ability jumps or is jumped from a building?"

So he has had a very hard time these past few years.

After all, he has done calculations more than once and found that if the ability to make money (emotional currency) cannot be improved, then the suits and weapons of the Heart Universe, as long as they are high-end, must be in the Lifetime series if they want to be embodied in reality.

The legendary saying ‘some people are poor in spirit’ has just come true!

On the other side, there is the pressure of survival in reality.

Orphaned and widowed, surrounded by wolves, the Ministry of Magic, the government of the wizarding world, is unreliable...

This is not a persecution paranoia, but the enemy's determination to kill me.

The saddest thing here is that as a pure-blood family, as a rich person, even if they are poor, they cannot compare with ordinary poor people.

He knows too much, and he carries grudges with him.

Just like the Malfoy family and the Daily Prophet, they can find reasons to disgust you without even leaving their homes, and they can arrange for you and become more and more excessive.

After thinking about this, Ernie realized, 'In the old days, the king would fly into the homes of ordinary people. ’ method is not suitable for the McMillan family.

You can convince yourself to stay humble and live an ordinary life, but others don't agree.

Even if you say it, do you dare to believe it? Why don't you give up your martial arts and try it first?

You feel that you have paid so much and sacrificed so much.

People think that your so-called concessions are actually incompetence. When it works, you pretend to be bad, but when it doesn't work, you just want to live peacefully...

I think it's beautiful.

Therefore, the problem for people without money is that it is really hard to make money, and they cannot spend it slowly enough if they earn too much.

The trouble for rich people is that while they are soaking in wealth, they have their vital points pressed with swords and guns.

We are all in the arena, and we can’t help ourselves.

But now, he is in a world of ice and fire. In the inner world, it is difficult to make money, and in the real world, black guns are aimed at his vital points.

For these reasons, it is a stupid thing to not go to Hogwarts to make connections when you have the opportunity, and hug Dumbledore and even the thick legs of the elderly elites in the British wizarding world...

After getting textbooks and teaching materials in the library, he went to the grocery room to get crucibles and other equipment.

He doesn't have any private alchemy room, although he can use background commands to directly maximize his professional skills, including herbalism, alchemy, and all MAX.

But Yamaguchi Mountain is Yamaguchi Mountain, and HP is HP. Knowledge is not universal, and professional abilities improved through cheating do little to improve professional qualities.

And what is his IQ level and his learning ability? He is still good at math, and he also understands that time travel cannot turn mediocre him into a top student.

Time is limited, energy is limited, be more content and less willing to try.

Therefore, there is no such thing as potion science or alchemy.

We have all the teaching materials and tools, what else is there?

Oh, the wand. There is one in this house too.

As long as the financial conditions are sufficient, most wizards will choose to customize their wands.

Choose the wizard instead of the wand as Ollivander said.

That's just a way to coax children. It's a primary-stage product. As long as it's similar in compatibility, it's fine. There are often several suitable ones, with slightly different degrees of fit.

Ollivander would help pick out the ones he liked. If he didn't like the ones he liked, he would throw them away. If they were useful, he could leave. Such is the case with monopoly business.

Besides, students' wands don't make much money. They can make a bunch of standard wands at once, and there's not much to pay attention to.

Ernie didn't bother to pay attention to it, so he used the standard staff at home, or a spare one.

The workmanship is better than the popular products sold by Ollivanders.

Poplar, twelve inches, with thunderbird feather core.

The archdruid thought that the wood matched the core of the wand, so it matched well.

The will of the natural apostle itself is a mysterious bonus and comes with its own divine blessing. It will not be useless just because it did not use the branches of Nordrassil, the crown of the sky, the wooden core of the sacred tree Garnier, the heart of Neltharion, or the nerves of Malygos.

School uniforms, of course, have to be made by a tailor who comes to your door. Moreover, it is not just school uniforms, but also formal wear and casual wear. It would be too shameful to go to a tailor shop.

Last but not least, the suitcase and wizard pet.

"Well, you can contact Dumbledore and let's go to Diagon Alley to put on a shopping show together."...
