Hogwarts starts with stealing power

To view more advanced information, you need to spend research points.

To request help from a fellow researcher, you need to spend research points.

To request the Research Association to change to a more advanced research site, you need to spend research points to further understand the secret knowledge you are studying.

Some advanced experimental equipment requires research points.

To improve your living environment, you also need research points.

…

Lin Xia looked at them all. In short, the internal currency in the Research Association is research points.

Without research points, you can't move forward.

Lin Xia thought for a while, and suddenly asked: "Mo Ling, you said that the Research Association provides basic experimental equipment and related basic knowledge to members for free. Can I understand how basic it is?"

The blue light screen in front of her changed, listing the various basic services provided by the Research Association.

Lin Xia's frown relaxed slightly.

She didn't know what other researchers were studying, but looking at the basic services provided by the association, she could already meet all her requirements.

Lin Xia joined the Researchers Association this time, and she already had a topic she wanted to study, which was to make an audio version of the Guardian Rune.

In fact, she had already completed half of this topic at the end of last semester.

If she hadn't encountered a holiday, she would have been able to crack it within two months according to the plan.

This topic is like a fantasy for wizards who have never been exposed to ancient magic words and related sound spell communication studies.

But it is not a difficult task for Lin Xia.

The only thing she found difficult was that ancient magic words were too difficult to find, and many of them were very complicated.

Most of the nobles cherished them and refused to open them to her.

This made her only able to buy some basic ancient magic words that the nobles basically knew from the black market at a high price.

And half of the ancient magic words she collected were directly given to her by the Malfoy family.

Originally, Lin Xia planned to wait until the new semester started, and she would take Professor Babel's class to see if she could find time in private to ask the professor for some basic ancient magic words.

But now Lin Xia looked at the content on the light screen, and her eyes flickered slightly.

There were many basic ancient magic words that she had never seen before, and this part of knowledge was regarded as a basic service by the Researchers Association and was open to researchers for free!

Lin Xia thought: For researchers, just these basic knowledge bases, the Researchers Association is a temple of knowledge for free.

She didn't know how harsh the conditions were to become a formal researcher. Did every researcher have a huge amount of knowledge, so they looked down on these basic contents?

But these contents are very helpful to her now.

Lin Xia said without hesitation: "Mo Ling, improve my data encryption permissions!"

Mo Ling: "Formal researcher Lin Xia, do you want to spend 10 research points to encrypt your data?"

Lin Xia: "Yes."

After a while, the gentle voice of the Mo Ling came: "Deducted, upgraded."

Lin Xia's office is very large, and pushing open a room is the laboratory.

The experimental equipment inside is very complete, and there are many equipment that Lin Xia has never seen.

She only uses what she knows.

Soon, Lin Xia devoted herself to the research of the audio version of the guardian amulet.

The Researchers Association does not actively assign research projects to researchers. All projects are initiated by researchers, and then the Researchers Association will assess the level of the research project based on the research value and the impact of the results, and obtain corresponding research points.

If the researcher is willing to share the results of the project with the Researchers Association, he will get a more generous research point.

But if you don't want to, it doesn't matter, you can keep it yourself.

However, there is a prerequisite here. Every time a project is initiated and ended, it must be registered and filed.

So even if the researcher is unwilling to share the results of the project with the association, the association can still get some progress information through the name of the project.

At the same time, this part of the information will be made public for other researchers to understand.

If other researchers' projects need this part of knowledge, they can come to discuss the price of help.

This model gave Lin Xia other ideas.

Although the association uses research points for circulation, in the process of communication between researchers, they may promise something more precious than research points.

When Lin Xia was soaking in the laboratory, the project she initiated had been approved by the demon spirit and updated to the internal network of the Researchers Association at the same time.

Some researchers who had just finished their projects or were immersed in a project and made no progress went to the intranet to check the news.

This time, they found that the association had actually introduced a new official member.

And this member had determined the research topic on the first day.

"She is so young, doesn't she need to think about it again? Is it worth studying such a basic field as the guardian amulet?"

"Low-level guardian amulets have no protective effect against higher-level evil gods' whispers!"

"Shouldn't the Researchers Association temporarily consider all research content on the battlefield? How to win is what we should do."

Other researchers expressed different opinions.

"The demon spirit has passed, proving that her research ideas are feasible and helpful on the battlefield."

"I'm not saying it's not possible, I just think it's a waste of resources and research points on this kind of topic."

"Such a basic topic doesn't require research points at all. Maybe she didn't use them?"

A researcher with an octopus-like head but a human body said in a strange voice:

"You are so interested in the newcomer. As soon as the novice protection period is over today, use your authority to check her identity information. As long as it is not encrypted, you can find out everything. See who this person is."

Other researchers said: "Since she has joined the association, she is at least a colleague of ours. There is no need to do this."

Other researchers laughed, "It's still uncertain whether she can survive the first experimental loss!"

Some researchers asked Pu En curiously during dinner.

"Pu En, this is the researcher you led. Didn't you mention the importance of the topic to her?"

Pu En's magnetic voice sounded: "Experiments are free and should not be bound by the Researchers Association. She is still young and has unlimited possibilities.

I just reminded her to earn more research points. It is probably because of this consideration that she determined the research topic so quickly and invested in the experiment."

After Pu En left.

The other researchers gathered together quietly, whispering.

"Skeleton Pun must have set his sights on the new researcher and wants her to work for him."

"That's a formal researcher, unanimously recognized by the research association, and she's not the same as those assistants and chores. If it were you, wouldn't you be tempted?"

"What on earth is there about the new formal member that is worthy of the magic spirit to think is outstanding? She's too young!"

"She must have many secrets..."

Lin Xia didn't know that her youth and the speed of establishing the topic on the first day made some members of the Researchers Association pay attention to her privately.

After using the research room provided by the association, she made one thing clear.

The Researchers Association must have some special magic array that gathers all kinds of special magic inside the association.

When she was doing research, she felt more comfortable than doing research in the Golden Wooden House.

You know, the Golden Wooden House is not an ordinary product. It ranks among the best in Hogwarts, but compared with the laboratory provided by the Researchers Association, it has become weaker.

Lin Xia looked around the laboratory and shook her head regretfully.

She couldn't find out what technology was used.

If she knew, she wouldn't mind renovating the golden wooden house.

After a short rest, she continued to study the ancient magic language.

"Ancient magic, a long-lost spell, is extremely complex. One word has more than ten annotations. As long as the gesture and tone of the wave change, it will become another meaning."

Lin Xia couldn't help but sigh: "The ancient magic language is really too complicated!"

But these ancient magic languages ​​were open to her without reservation, which also made her learn quickly. She was addicted to it, and the sparks of inspiration in her mind collided more and more intensely.

It only takes one opportunity to bloom.

At midnight, the time broadcast sounded in the laboratory.

This was the timer she specially adjusted, so that the demon spirit would remind her at that time, which was quite useful.

Lin Xia put down the book, walked out of the laboratory, and looked at several other rooms. Finally, she chose a room with a very high concentration of magic power and practiced "Nine Heavens Mysterious Yang Secret Records Furnace".

This is a compulsory course that must be done every day, and it cannot be stopped for a day.

While Lin Xia was practicing.

The wizards who were secretly eager to make a move on her all used their authority to check Lin Xia's identity information.

But they all received the reply that the authority of the magic spirit was insufficient.

This surprised the formal researchers.

"She increased the encryption authority of her own information!"

"A newcomer is so decisive that she puts all research points on data encryption. Doesn't she worry about her experiment going wrong?"

"As long as the research points become negative, she will work for the Researcher Association!"

Although surprised by the courage of this witch.

But Lin Xia's behavior is also telling others that her identity information is not simple, so she wants to protect her secrets.

Afraid that these secrets will be coveted by others!

Puen is also a member of the inquiry, but he is not surprised by this result at all.

From the magic bus, he felt that this little witch was smart and bold, but also alert and cautious. She had a strange and very attractive trait.

At that time, Puen thought that they would definitely meet again for the second time, but no one expected that the second meeting would come so soon.

"Annie from "Today's Transfiguration" can no longer be contacted. Could it be because of Lin Xia?" Puen muttered to himself in the office.

His hand gently stroked the skull on the table, and his voice was so soft and terrifying, as if he was talking to his lover.

"She is a very interesting little witch, right? I have a hunch that she will bring me many surprises... But she is the one that Babeling likes, it's a pity that I can't grab her."

He said it was a pity, but his empty eye sockets flashed with blue light, with a firm and weird feeling.

-

While Lin Xia was researching, Fudge also started his work.

The first task of the Noble Anti-Corruption Investigation Department is to ask questions to the nobles.

Aurors gave Fudge a long list of names. Fudge glanced at it quickly and his eyelids twitched.

The families on the list were all well-known families in the British Ministry of Magic.

The family background is profound, all of them are pure blood, and the inheritance has been more than 10 generations.

He couldn't help but complain: What's wrong with Dumbledore? He has been patient for so long, and finally wants to take action against these nobles?

Fudge has worked in the Ministry of Magic for many years. He has heard more than once that the nobles despise the Ministry of Magic and believe that the Ministry of Magic's rule in the British wizarding world should be overthrown and the aristocracy should be restored to power.

Every few years, there will be a noble revival movement.

But if the nobles don't put forward someone who can have an equal dialogue with Dumbledore, it will all end in vain.

According to the regulations, Fudge first sent an inquiry letter to these nobles, requiring them to go to the Anti-Corruption Investigation Department for questioning in a certain year and month.

However, when the time came, no noble came.

Fudge waited from morning to noon, from noon to afternoon, and finally to night. The Noble Anti-Corruption Investigation Department was deserted and cold.

Fudge suppressed his anger and said, "This is too much. They are challenging the authority of the Ministry of Magic and resisting the will of Dumbledore!"

Umbridge on the side echoed, "Yes, those nobles are still living a life of drunkenness and dreaming, thinking that it is still the aristocratic era of centuries ago. How can they ignore the inquiry of Director Fudge?"

The Department of Anti-corruption Investigation of Nobles has only one director, Fudge, no other employees, and no one came to apply for the job.

Fudge didn't want to do everything himself, so he borrowed the practice of the Auror Department and transferred Umbridge from the Foreign Affairs Department to work in the Anti-corruption Investigation Department under the Auror Department.

There were two salaries and two subsidies.

Fudge took one of them, and the high job and high subsidy of the Auror Department were accepted by him.

There was no way, the money had been borrowed by his subordinates before, and he was poor.

Under Umbridge's flattery, Fudge also hated those nobles who were seriously corrupt.

"No, we can't let them go!"

Umbridge asked respectfully: "Director Fudge, what are you going to do?"

Fudge pondered and said: "I will dispatch a group of Aurors to go directly to the nobles and ask them if they feel guilty!"

Umbridge praised loudly: "This method is great. Director Fudge is worthy of being a person favored by the Aurors Department and the Foreign Affairs Department. The great Dumbledore will definitely use you!"

Fudge submitted the application, and the Aurors Department quickly approved it. Five Aurors were assigned to him and they will go to the noble families together tomorrow.

At the same time.

For the nobles, because the Ministry of Magic established a new department to target the corruption of the nobles, some guilty nobles immediately held a meeting to discuss countermeasures together.

Among them was the Malfoy family.
