Chapter 130 Alnwick Castle and Hogwarts
While Nick Fury was distracted, the British side had selected several magic school sites for Tom.
Unexpectedly, Tom saw a familiar castle inside.
"Where is this?" he asked Humphrey Appleby who was standing next to him.
"Alnwick Castle, located in Alnwick City in northern England, has a history of more than a thousand years." Appleby is already familiar with the locations of all magic schools.
"Annick..." Tom suddenly stood up, grabbed Appleby's shoulders, and disappeared into a vortex.
The maids by the wall are not surprised. They have all received professional training and have to endure it.
The scene changes, Tom and Appleby appear on the streets of Alnwick.
Appleby has gradually become accustomed to the side effects of space transformation. He quietly took a deep breath to suppress the discomfort, and then immediately took out his phone to contact the local government personnel.
Soon a commercial vehicle arrived and took the two to Alnwick Castle.
Looking at this quaint castle, Tom looked reminiscing.
Somewhat similar, but not quite the same.
This castle is very similar to Hogwarts in many places, and not like Hogwarts in many places.
There are no mountains or dense jungles in the distance, just castles on the mounds and green woods that look dated.
Near the ancient castle, in order to defend against foreign enemies, it was impossible to leave tall jungles.
There is no large secluded lake, only a small river surrounding the castle.
The Dark Forbidden Forest and the guard hut are both gone.
No unicorn and no gamekeeper in sight.
After all, it’s not the same world.
Tom felt a little sad for no reason.
Even if he is a powerful Dark Lord, he cannot cross the world's barrier.
The mysterious master can bring him from other worlds...
After receiving the news, the top government officials of Alnwick City have politely asked tourists to leave the castle and notified The owner of the castle.
Who in the UK doesn’t know that the magic school will bring huge benefits to Great Britain?
If you can be located on your own territory, you will be blessed with wealth and wealth.
The increase in land prices and tourism revenue brought about is a trivial matter, but policy inclination and even an increase in the right to speak are the real wealth.
This is a magic school on the surface!
The only place in the world that can produce extraordinary power.
How much does it cost to sell land?
Stupid!
Gotta give it away for free!
That’s it, no matter how many people want to give it away, they are not qualified!
The owners of the castle came in a hurry. They did not dare to disturb Tom who was immersed in memorial, but they hurriedly came to Appleby.
"Sir, is Mr. Riddle..." The owner of the castle smiled nervously.
If the magic school really chooses this place, he and his family will receive unparalleled benefits and even be able to restore their glory hundreds of years ago.
"Keep your voice down, sir, don't interfere..."
Before Appleby finished speaking, Tom's indifferent voice came: "Just here!"
As if hearing the sound of nature, The owner of the castle suddenly became sluggish, just like Fan Jin's behavior when he passed the exam.
"Congratulations, Mr. Riddle has chosen your family's property!" Appleby was a little disappointed. After all, he also asked his family to contribute several castles and manors.
However, it is the consensus of the British people to implement the magic school and open enrollment as soon as possible, and it is also the top priority at present. Although Appleby feels sorry for it, he does not dare to delay the important matter.
"You won?" The owner of the castle realized it and was overjoyed: "Did you win?"
"Yes, sir, you chose Alnwick Castle."
Appleby immediately took out the Hand over a document that you carry with you.
"You can choose to continue to retain ownership, but you must agree to any transformation of the castle by Mr." "No, we are willing to give Castle Alnwick to Mr. Riddle." After all, he is a son of a big family. The intellectual ability is still there.
When giving favors, you have to do it in one step, so as to maximize the benefits.
It’s better not to give it away.
Giving away a castle, what you get in exchange is the opportunity for your family to take off.
Apart from anything else, you have to take care of our family first when enrolling students, right?
As expected, Tom turned around and glanced at the middle-aged man and nodded to him, obviously very pleased with it.
"Okay, then you sign the gift document." Appleby was well prepared.
Here they were signing documents, but Tom took out his wand and drew a circle on the lawn. A ball of soil floated out of thin air and floated into the sky with him.
Then, the front end of the wand emitted a white light. The light was so strong that it was dazzling even in the daytime.
A transparent film of light suddenly appeared in the sky, spread out in a spherical shape, and enveloped the entire Alnwick Castle in a moment.
After the magic shield is completed, it flashes twice and disappears without a trace.
Tom returned to the ground and the lawn returned to its original state.
Ignoring the shock of others, he spoke indifferently: "Notice is issued that the enrollment of the magic school will begin soon."
Appleby nodded in shock, but immediately reacted and quickly asked: "The enrollment method What is it? Does it require a test?"
"No, the bloodline with magic cannot be discovered through the test."
Tom suddenly showed a mysterious smile: "Children on earth only need to receive it. A letter stamped with the 'Hogwarts' stamp, then signed by the guardian to approve their admission, will take them here with the letter in hand."
"Is 'Hogwarts' the name of the magic school?" Appleby asked one after another: "Is the letter the key to space, just like the magic you performed before?"
These questions are all asked immediately Of course, you must ask carefully about the key content that must be announced at the press conference to be held.
"Yes, no matter which country you are in, as long as you hold the letter in your hand, you can reach Hogwarts." Tom replied.
“By the way, Hogwarts does not charge tuition, and you need to bear the daily food and accommodation expenses of students.”
Appleby was stunned, but quickly responded: “Please don’t worry. , it’s just a small thing.”
Although recruiting students from all over the world requires spending money to train extraordinary people for other countries, it is also a move to expand the influence of England.
At that time, the United States used the indemnity money from the Qing Dynasty to ask for overseas students. In the end, they raised the first generation of banana people without spending a penny of their own money. The remaining poison has caused harm for more than a hundred years.
Today is an extraordinary era, and every extraordinary combat power is precious.
Even if they come from other countries, England may not be able to keep them. They are all eight to ten-year-old kids, which is convenient for brainwashing.
According to the script formulated by the host, Tom added: "I will provide three magic potions at the opening dinner and give them to the person who donates the largest amount."
Everyone who heard this sentence gasped, and the surrounding temperature seemed to drop a little.
"Medicine...potion..." Appleby covered her excited heart with trembling hands, and asked tremblingly: "What does it do?"
"It doesn't have any other effect... ..." Tom's voice was still calm, but he spoke loudly: "It just makes people look younger."
There was a "hiss" sound.
The temperature of the entire Alnwick Castle dropped a few degrees, and then there were pairs of burning eyes.
"We will make arrangements immediately to publicize the news of the establishment of Hogwarts to the whole world!" Appleby pressed her chest hard and made a promise.
This is not the establishment of a magic school. This is a great opportunity for people to live for another few decades!
After the news spreads, the old guys in England will definitely work together to overcome any difficulties. Even if the United States wants to start a war, they will not hesitate to fight.
It’s not them who died anyway.
"Go ahead, I need to make some improvements to the campus." Tom waved.
Appleby bowed to him and rushed to the car in the distance.
At this moment, he was even faster than the young man.
Fourth update
Guess what operation Director Lin will use to make them younger?
