Harry Potter: The Dragon That Sleeps

Go through the hall on the first floor and go to the end of the corridor leading to the kitchen. There is a small door going down behind the two stone knight statues.

There are many nooks and crannies in Hogwarts that many people have visited. The protective spells left by professors all year round in Hogwarts have inadvertently solidified, and the spells are entangled to form a maze in Hogwarts.

Jodi held up the wand and clearly felt that this area was repelling him, and there was a magic power that wanted to lead him to other places.

Jody stepped forward firmly and opened a downward door.

As Jody walked into the underground passage, Quirrell looked around freshly, "I've been at Hogwarts for so long, and I've never heard of such a place... Be careful! There are a lot of protection spells here!"

As he spoke, Quirrell pulled Jody and asked him to stay with him.

Quirrell's wand sprayed out a large ball of gold, outlining the guardian formations one by one. Jody used his protection to explain his purpose to the guardian formations.

Finally, Jodi felt that a certain consciousness recognized his request.

"Huh~ Hogwarts' Great Library's magic array is a very powerful thing. As you can see, these protective magics are all controlled by a consciousness behind them."

"I've wanted to ask for a long time, what exactly is the Great Library?" Jody asked a question that he had never had the chance to understand, while his hands were busy removing those troublesome spells under Quirrell's guidance.

"The Great Library is the oldest formation in Hogwarts. Even professors know about the existence of the Great Library. It is an artificial will composed of countless exquisite formations... The protective formations of Hogwarts are all

It is maintained by it, it is the tutor of all the house elves at Hogwarts and it is responsible for paying the salaries of all the staff."

"Remuneration?" Speaking of remuneration, Jody remembered his doubts about Hogwarts' operating model. As far as he knew, this school did not charge tuition.

"The gold of Hogwarts is the noble 'dark gold' that belongs to the 'gold of fairies'. You should have learned this part, and it is related to the goblin rebellion. The undercurrent of gold of fairies comes from their innate talents.

The underworld retrieved these magical metals born from the soul and brought them to the world.

After experiments on artificial humans were also banned, biological magic developed towards the field of pseudo-souls. People discovered that pseudo-souls could be used to transform the equivalent of "dark gold". From then on, the status of fairies was shaken, and war broke out.

After the war, the alchemical gold was called soul-melting gold. Compared with the dark gold, the quality of soul-melting gold was uneven. After all, they had not experienced the test of death. This situation was not reversed until Master Flamel created the Philosopher's Stone.

The improvement mechanism proposed by Master Mei has improved the overall quality of the Spirit-melting Gold a lot... Oh, it's finally been solved."

Jody used his mage's hand to brush away the dust, pull off the cobwebs and reveal the door.

"So, can I guess that there is a gold mine in Hogwarts?" Jody said exaggeratedly, and he himself showed a mischievous face as he joked.

Unexpectedly, Quirrell actually agreed with his statement, "You can also say that there is definitely magic leading to the underworld in the seven doors."

"But the Philosopher's Stone says that the underworld, as a secondary world, has been shattered by the main world?"

"Professor Binns must have also said that the underworld was absorbed by the main world." Quirrell corrected him, "The magic circle controlled by the Great Library can draw gold from the underworld as a teacher's salary, and the extra energy will

It was constructed into gems... Oh! Those gems are used to calculate the scores of the four major colleges."

Is this so? Qiao Dixin said that on the first day of school, she was wondering if she could steal a gem or two and sell it for money.

Those gems can be as big as an ostrich egg, and the smaller ones can be used as baseballs.

"But being a teacher at Hogwarts, gold coins are not enough to retain outstanding wizards. The position of priest constructed from the high-purity magic power extracted from the seven doors of Hogwarts is a temptation we cannot refuse."

"I seem to have read the word priest in the book about mysterious origins."

"You study very seriously, Jody." Quirrell praised, "The master of sacrifices, the master of sacrifices. Wizards had the habit of offering sacrifices a long time ago. This behavior was the craziest when shamanism was prevalent. The wizards at that time

They will even use their own flesh and blood to make sacrifices. After the Curse Sect system, the priest became the title of the owners of the magical land.

A complete mysterious circuit can form a magical land. When properly managed, the magical land can produce powerful and high-purity magic power. If the magic power is sufficient, it is called the place of sacrifice, and the leader of the sacrifice is the priest."

"Then principal..."

Quirrell was waiting for someone to ask him what he couldn't help but say immediately, "The principal of Hogwarts has the position of king, but only the patriarch of an ancient family or the leader of a large organization can have enough resources to support it.

Supreme status."

Although I don’t quite understand the concept, with a title like the King, everyone wants to try it, right?

While looking forward to it, Jody pointed the wand at the door lock, "Are you ready to do it?"

Hearing this, Quirrell quickly checked whether he was dressed appropriately. After completely completing the task at the shelter yesterday, he finally shaved and changed into clean clothes.

"Alohomora opens!"

The two of them walked into this ancient office one after another.

The first thing I saw was the golden light all over the place.

Gold Galleons, Silver Thickes and Bronze Nats were randomly mixed together to form a big pile of money!

Judging from the traces on the edge, a table should have been placed where the pile of money was.

Quirrell picked up a piece of rusty silver and made a face at Jodi, "I'm telling you, if you find this place, you've found a treasure."

"Haha... Indeed. Even I was surprised when I saw such a big pile of money." The hollow voice seemed to have a little more vitality, and Professor Binns stood up from his recliner.

Jodi opened his mouth to speak but then stopped.

Professor Binns seemed to know what he wanted to say. He stood up and picked up the book on the coffee table. "I was in this position when I died. I was afraid of the cold, so they prepared this last book for me."

It’s a dry basement, and it’s very comfortable to hang out here for a while whenever the stove is lit.”

"I can imagine..." Jody said, but did not look at the stove.

He couldn't help but stare at the thing in Professor Binns' hand.

It was an ordinary, thin book, and the wooden cover gave no indication of its age.

"Perhaps I should have told them that they no longer need to prepare my salary...but now it seems that the money can be used for other purposes." Professor Binns said, turning to the two of them with smile lines at the corners of his eyes.

Quirrell waved his hand repeatedly, "No, Professor Binns, perhaps only Joyce is qualified to accept this gift..."

As he spoke, he patted Jodi on the shoulder and said, "I even started to respect him a little."

Jodi pushed Quirrell away in disgust. What this guy said was disgusting.

"Professor Binns, although I really want to refuse, there is one thing I have to ask you for."

"Of course." Professor Binns raised the book higher and handed it to Jody, "It's yours now."

"Wait a minute, this is it!" Quirrell, who had always thought that this book had been put away by the big library, was surprised.

In his surprised eyes, the book opened the cover and the paper rotated to form an infinite paper wheel.

When the strangeness disappeared, a huge magic book as thick as bricks and as big as a desktop floated in front of Jody.

The material of its wooden cover is so familiar.
