Chapter 86 Auditorium
Professor McGonagall briefly introduced the branch to the freshmen with a serious look. Even though it was dry and boring, the children who felt novelty everywhere they came still listened with relish.
Of course, not including Kane, he only maintained basic listening etiquette, and what he really paid attention to was the surrounding scenery.
Below the carved crossbar of the stone wall, there are burning braziers, the walls and grounds, all of shale, the yellowish color is slightly red, and there are obvious cracks and damage to the layers.
This material and color are not very favorable to Kane, as if it is always covered with a layer of sand and soil, which is dirty.
Influenced by the modern cutting-edge industrial technology system, he is somewhat obsessed with cleanliness. In terms of stone, he prefers bluestone, basalt, marble and other types that can clean up and produce a clean effect.
And like Hogwarts, it makes him feel like living in a cave, a woodshed, or even a sand cave.
"Now, I have more reasons to renovate this place, which is considered a sense of ownership, right?" He thought so much about himself.
With a brief explanation of the basic rules as the conclusion, Professor McGonagall led the freshmen into the auditorium, which is also a restaurant.
The auditorium has two doors, the main door and the corner door, that is, the back door.
The corner door is in the corner of the rectangular hall, and is the portal to the high platform. There is a table horizontally placed on the high platform, which is a teacher's seat.
Below the high platform, all the way to the main entrance, there are four long tables arranged vertically, each of which represents a branch.
The main door is a bronze door with complex patterns, sturdy and gorgeous.
Kane is very familiar with bronze.
The finished product is as bright as gold, bright and gorgeous. It will only turn black and produce gray-green copper rust after a long period of lack of maintenance.
The bronze door in front of you is a typical example of being overly old. It is dull overall and has mottled spots in many places. To put it more literary and artistically, it can make people feel the precipitation of time and the sense of layering of time.
As for the decorative objects in the hall, the situation is similar to this one. It is entirely based on the lights that make it look grand and wonderful.
Kane noticed the quadron heraldic beast sculptures lined with gables in the east and west. These sculptures are like rods and are used to hang braziers, which are very representative magical devices.
Then, he looked at the thousands of candles in the air and also noticed the magic fluctuations.
"Wait, this is..."
Kane curled his lips slightly. Among the founders of Hogwarts, there are also many bad guys who actually play this trick of reverse thinking.
If he read that right, these magic candles contain extraordinary substances that are precious in the multiverse, soul crystals, which are the main material for making the soul lamp.
The soul lamp is easier to explain in terms of Eastern metaphysics: the soul lamp life fire.
The lights are gone when a person dies, and the relationship is closely related. The one that allows the two to form such extraordinary connection is the soul crystal.
He was thinking just now that the real Hogwarts was as quiet as an ancient tomb, relying on playing with the effects of light and shadow to support the scene and scare the children.
As a result, the man slapped his face with a soul crystal candle: He just pretended to be poor with a golden bowl, why don’t he accept it?
On the platform, Dumbledore stroked his beard and smiled. He saw Kane's expression and guessed Kane's mood at this moment.
"Hogwarts still has some background."
To be honest, Dumbledore was still happy to see that Kane was defeated a little. He knew very well that what Kane lacked now was only the accumulation of time, and this was exactly what Hogwarts had.
Hogwarts has a long history. Compared with the thickness of this time, even the principal, he is just a young man who has too many secrets to know.
He asked himself about his feelings for Hogwarts than anyone in this era.
Hogwarts is becoming increasingly destructive due to various objective factors. He sees it in his eyes and is anxious in his heart.
But such things are useless. If you want to repair Hogwarts, you will not consider the technology and the cost will be astronomical.
Since two years ago, Dumbledore has been considering whether the Shafik family can participate in the renovation project?
At that time, under the guidance of a professional consultant who was familiar with Muggle Economics, he considered this:
First, get some money through crowdfunding, and then invest in the Magic Eye Chamber of Commerce.
Of course, this is a advantage. The Magic Eye Chamber of Commerce is not short of funds. How many people waved their checkbooks and cried and shouted that they wanted to get on their big ship but couldn't.
He showed his old face and played the card of "alma mater", and he was sure to be successful.
Afterwards, relying on the dividends of shares, the repair funds were largely funded.
Although the repair costs a lot, it does not require full payment at one time, so as long as there is a stable and expensive source of income, the project can be started.
As for technology, it is not enough to rely on the professors at Hogwarts alone.
His plan is to play the favor cards he has accumulated over the years, make preparations, and repair them in three months during the summer vacation. I believe that this project will be completed in 5-7 years.
However, the reality is much more skinny than he expected. Before the crowdfunding process, the repair project was stuck at the school board.
The school directors formed a delegation, pretended to visit, evaluated it, and finally rejected the proposal to crowdfund on the grounds that there were no major safety hazards.
Last year, the Magic Eye Chamber of Commerce was booming in the field of magical construction. He secretly evaluated himself, thinking that the Magic Eye Chamber of Commerce had strong enough technical strength.
Sure enough, whether it is the Shafik family's "Summer Palace" or the fir manor in Hogsmeade, or several different types of private manors and manors built for Cheng in the United States, Germany, and France, they all reflect their superb professionalism and are highly praised.
This made the mind of repairing Hogwarts liven up again.
"There are also technical strength, mainly because of the difference in money."
No matter where the money comes from, it is definitely true to win over the Shafik family.
So since then, Dumbledore has decided to recruit Kane into Hogwarts.
At that time, he didn't know that Kane was a reincarnated by an ancient wizard and possessed Su Hui. But he at least knew that there must be a capable man behind the Shafik family.
He also knew that the other party's style of conduct was ruthless, which caused many wizards and magical creatures walking in the dark to perish in Nozawa Garden. Among them, there were many powerful people he encountered, but he might not be able to force him to leave behind.
There is no doubt that this is a dangerous signal, which means that the Shafik family is not easy to provoke, and whether it is against it or the alliance, it is easy to cause trouble.
In this case, the wisest choice is to be close and distant, and most people do the same.
He has thought more than once about how to get along with the Shafik family. After all, his identity is more sensitive, and being too close to any family will easily be criticized or even criticized.
However, after visiting the Shafik family not long ago, he changed his mind.
He decided to use Hogwarts to tie Kane in depth.
Simply put, the more Kane invested in Hogwarts, the deeper his bond with Hogwarts will be.
As the principal, he can provide Kane with additional permissions. He has secretly decided that as long as Kane does not break the bottom line, he can do whatever he wants.
For this reason, just yesterday, he had a brief talk with the professors, gave them a vaccination, and told them that Kane Shafik was very likely to have amazing performances and should be calm and reserved.
As a result, I received a quick message at noon today, and the dark forces committed an offensive crime at the King's Cross Station, and encountered the more vicious Kane, whose only living habit was cut into a human pit.
It is conceivable that at this moment, the professors who maintain at least a decent manner are curious about Kane Shafik.
Even Snape, who had always been arrogant, looked at Kane, who was standing higher than other eleven-year-old boys from time to time, and was obviously much taller than other eleven-year-old boys.
The branch ceremony had begun. When it was the two teenagers he had saved, Kane paid special attention. The thin monkey was named Karin Schiller and was assigned to Gryffindor. The fat man was named Ruger Lampard and went to Hufflepuff.
It should have been deliberately adjusted and he was placed in the last place.
The young wizards of the same age as him were not particularly outstanding, only a few people received half of the praise that was not painful.
So what about him? Not only the professors, but also the wizard apprentices want to know the evaluation of the branch hat, but even he himself is a little interested.
You should know that as the master of the insect swarm, he has worked as a part-time psychic, and his mental power achievements are not comparable to most wizards in this world who have not even practiced brain closure.
He has the ability to weigh, weigh, how magical this magical creation of Hogwarts is...
