The Strongest Badger at Hogwarts

Link was led by Krum all the way into Durmstrang Castle.

What they walked was not the gate carefully arranged by Beckman, but a small door on the side of the castle.

Behind the small door is a long, narrow and dark corridor.

Compared with the main entrance avenue, which is filled with flowers and magic lamp stones, this place is as simple as a dungeon.

Perhaps because he also felt that the environment here was a bit bad, Krum explained as soon as he entered:

"This is a shortcut to the Quidditch pitch. I'll take you to visit the pitch first. Besides, Link, don't look at it. It's a little smaller and dirty, but it's much better than before. "

"Really?" Link glanced at Krum and said, "My memory is very good. It seems that when I came to Durmstrang last time, the corridors I passed by were better than here, right?"

"It's just that the old principal didn't let you see it." Krum said firmly, "They are going to rely on you to invest in saving Durmstrang, so they will naturally hide those messy places. Try to show you the good side of the school. In fact, before Principal Beckman took over, the passage we are walking now was abandoned because it was too old.

That is, Principal Beckman wanted to restore the appearance of Durmstrang in its heyday as much as possible, so he cleaned it up again. You can trust me on this point, I have lived in this school for nearly ten years, and there should not be many people in Durmstrang who are more familiar with it than me! "

Link nodded noncommittally.

Krum didn't continue to explain, because following the previous conversation, the two had officially walked out of the passage and appeared on the Quidditch pitch that Krum had mentioned many times just now.

As soon as he came here, Link was shocked.

This is an extremely rare thing. After all, with the improvement of Link's strength and status, his knowledge is also increasing at an extremely fast speed.

For now, there are few things in this world that can shock him.

Even the Sky City he saw when he went to the International Federation of Wizards earlier just made Link find it interesting.

But the current Quidditch pitch at the Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is an obvious exception.

That's not to say how extravagant the stadium is.

Because the biggest feature of this stadium is actually the 'new' that Krum mentioned before.

But that's not much to brag about.

When any new Quidditch court is built, due to consideration of the service life, relatively new technologies and equipment on the market are often used to prevent the venue from becoming obsolete early.

And apart from being 'new', this Quidditch pitch is actually not very different from the Hogwarts pitch in terms of size and equipment.

What really surprised Link was the light blue magic shield that covered the entire stadium above their heads.

Under the protection of that thin shield, the external wind and snow cannot invade the stadium at all, and the temperature in the stadium is also maintained at close to 22 degrees, which is the most suitable temperature for the human body.

This directly caused the stadium to be as warm as spring and green grass.

But outside the stadium is ice and snow, and there is even a spectacle of snow tornado hanging in the distance.

"The scenery is not bad, right? I remember that when I came to the newly built stadium for the first time, I was stunned. My classmates even knelt on the ground and kissed the lawn excitedly."

Krum put his hands on his waist and said quite proudly.

When Link heard the words, he nodded intently and said:

"So how does this work?"

"It's very simple. The shield above our heads to shield the wind and snow is a very common protective layer of magic power. Its protection is actually not strong. It is difficult to block even the most basic attack spells, but shielding the wind There is enough snow. In addition, the stadium and even the entire Durmstrang Castle have been equipped with constant temperature formations and climate simulation formations by Principal Beckman, which is why many Quidditch teams want to come here to compete. The reason for training. Because only here can simulate various climates while having a lot of new equipment, so that the team can fully train."

"This idea was proposed by Beckman?"

"Of course, to be honest, this plan was originally intended to provide heating for Durmstrang Castle, but considering that students also need sports and entertainment in winter, the Quidditch pitch was rebuilt. In this way, the stadium rent can subsidize the heating consumption of the castle."

Speaking of this, Krum suddenly looked around and saw that no one was chasing him, so he whispered, "The only bad thing is that Principal Beckman is stingy. The free heating in Durmstrang Castle has always been It’s not very strong, it’s only about 15 or 6 degrees all the year round, so it’s still a bit cold in terms of body feeling.”

"You can't blame him, after all, it's all free, and this type of heating consumes a lot of resources, right?"

Link said a little dumbfounded.

He still has some understanding of this type of formation.

Because there is a similar system in the Ministry of Magic of the country.

Since it is necessary to simulate the real climate and adjust it at will, the construction and use of this system are completely different from the heating and air conditioning in Muggle society.

What can be used as an energy source is no longer electricity or coal fire energy, but magic power.

These magic powers are stored in an extremely complex formation, which requires daily maintenance and long-term magic power infusion, so the cost of use is very high, and only organizations with a large amount of spare wizard labor such as the Ministry of Magic of various countries can afford it. afford it.

So it's normal for Beckman to be stingy.

If it is really open to use, Beckman will feel distressed no matter how rich he is.

Krum scratched his head and smiled when he heard the words:

"Of course we also know that the consumption in this area is relatively high, so we will not complain that Principal Beckman does not turn on the heating for us. I say this just to let you know that Principal Beckman is relatively frugal. The investment you give is being spent all over the place."

At the same time Krum said this, Beckman and others happened to trot into the stadium.

They entered Durmstrang Castle from the direction of the main entrance, so they were slower than Link and Krum.

The few people just arrived at the scene and heard Krum's last words before they had time to speak. Facing Link's slightly smiling and calm eyes, Beckman froze all of a sudden, and could only stand there and laugh awkwardly. .

In the end, Mrs. Foley stood up, took Link's hand and said:

"Don't forget the purpose of our visit this time, and don't do something irrelevant."

Hearing this, the smile on Link's face became even stronger.

He nodded with a smile and said:

"Of course, I was just joking with Grandpa Beckmann (the country also has the name 'Grandpa')."

Link was telling the truth.

He doesn't really care about whether Beckman has embezzled public funds or not.

Beckman gave him all the assets of the entire Beckman family. Even if he regrets it now and embezzled a little public funds, so what?

Link didn't think it was a big deal.

Because to be honest, now Gallon is just a simple number to Link, not money.

With his status, money has changed from gold coins to various resources in his eyes.

What's more, judging from the current situation, Beckman did not embezzle public funds. At best, he was a little too kind to Durmstrang's people.

Valley Line\u003c/span\u003e But it's also a good thing.

Link can clearly feel the respect and gratitude of the teachers and students around Durmstrang through the passively activated Legilimency spell. Without Beckman's almost exaggerated kindness, he would not be in Durmstrang How could it be possible to get the love of these people?

When Beckman heard what Link said, he even called his grandfather for the first time. The original embarrassment and tension disappeared in an instant, replaced by endless joy.

In fact, he doesn't value things like wealth.

As the patriarch of the Beckman family, he has already enjoyed most of the luxuries that can be enjoyed in this world.

Now that he is older, what he values ​​most has become family affection.

Seeing that Link and Mrs. Foley were about to return to the castle, he hurriedly called the students who gathered around them to lead the way together, so as to get the welcome ceremony that had almost collapsed back on track.

But with Krum as a stunned young man, this is also a difficult task.

Fortunately, this time Krum is relatively restrained, he didn't pull Link up and run to some inexplicable place like before, and he was roughly within the range set by Beckman.

This also made the whole process of receiving Link a lot more normal.

All Link saw was the beautiful scene that Beckman had built with Link's investment.

For example, the climate change system mentioned by Klum was pushed to the extreme today by Beckman’s deliberate actions. The entire Durmstrang Castle, which was shrouded in wind and snow, was as warm as summer at the moment. day.

What's even more outrageous is that Beckman also used the same technology as on the Quidditch field to build a small tropical ecological garden in the atrium of the castle.

This is a scene that the students in Durmstrang who have lived in a bitterly cold place since childhood have never seen in their lives.

According to Krum, this is also a favorite place for student couples, because they don’t need to wear too thick clothes when they stay here.

After that, he gave Link a wretched smile, which made Emily and Mrs. Foley couldn't help laughing, while Beckman gave him a hard look.

In addition to the heating system, the interior of Durmstrang Castle has also been completely renovated.

Although its standard is not as refined as Beauxbaton's, nor is it as atmospheric as Hogwarts, and it can even be said that except for important places such as the auditorium and the reception room for foreign guests, the rest of the place looks a bit rough, but it is still better than the previous one that leaks everywhere. Durmstrang Castle is much better.

It can be seen that Beckman's work is quite good.

After walking all the way, Link, Mrs. Foley and others all had sincere smiles on their faces.

Seeing that Link and the others were in a good mood, Beckman tentatively asked:

"Link, do you have any business to do here this time?"

Hearing that Link turned his head and glanced at Beckman, the corners of his mouth rose even more.

Of course he knew that Beckman was a little uneasy after hearing what Mrs. Foley said to him earlier.

But in fact, where do they have any business to do?

On this point, Beckman is still not very familiar with Link due to his lack of contact with Link, and he is far worse than Old Kled.

According to Link's habit, if it was serious business, he would never bring Mrs. Foley and Emily.

In fact, the reason why Link and others came to Durmstrang on Christmas Day was purely because Link attended Professor Slughorn's Slug Club dinner on Christmas Eve yesterday, and then brought Emily returned to Foley Castle for the sake of the family dinner.

This made Mrs Foley very angry.

She had learned how to cook from Little Button for several days, and then she made a pumpkin stew for Link yesterday.

But I didn't expect Link to dare to be late!

So in order to punish Link, today's Durmstrang itinerary was finalized by Mrs. Foley.

In other words, the visit that made Beckman tremble with fear was actually just a trip on a whim by Mrs. Foley.

If Beckman knew the truth, he would probably be so angry that he vomited blood.

Fortunately, Link had already prepared, and had already prepared a formal reason.

Thinking of this, Link took a deep breath and said:

"You know, the situation has been a little tense lately, maybe it's time for Durmstrang's forces to strike."

Hearing this, Beckman raised his brows, feeling a little disappointed at first.

Because the reason he wants to hear more is that Link brought his fiancée and mother to visit his grandfather.

But soon he sorted out his emotions and became excited again:

"Link, you mean, a war is about to start?"

"I can't tell the time, but it will be soon. At least the Chinese Ministry of Magic has made preparations. When the war will start, it depends on when the French Ministry of Magic can give us an excuse that can be used."

Hearing what Link said, Beckman clenched his fists excitedly.

He is very clear.

Durmstrang has always been a force Link has deliberately kept hidden.

It's very important to Link.

It is precisely because of this that Link entrusts him with a heavy responsibility, let him be stationed in Durmstrang as the principal, and will not mobilize him without special or large-scale actions.

This is actually a kind of rejection, a kind of rejection from Link, or from the power circle of the Foley family.

But Beckmann can't complain about that.

Because this is indeed a crucial job, it is simply a kind of extreme trust that Link entrusts such an important job and such huge resources to him.

It would be a little too much for him to say bad things about Link again.

But Beckman is still very uncomfortable.

He is no longer interested in power and wealth, he just wants to be with his daughter.

And now, Durmstrang's power is about to be activated, which also means that his mission is coming to an end.

Will he be able to return to his daughter after the mission is over?

How could Beckman not be excited by this?

After taking several deep breaths in a row, Beckman smiled confidently:

"I understand, Link, you are here for the military parade before the war. It's okay, let me show you Durmstrang's current strength!"
