Chapter 131 The descendants of robbers and thieves are not worthy of learning noble magic
In this universe, Christmas Eve in 2009 is destined to be a day that will be remembered by history.
The first known magic school in human history was officially completed and opened global enrollment on that day.
“All children between the ages of eight and twelve in the world hope to get an invitation letter to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry...” Humphrey Appleby stood on the podium at the press conference, Greet the eyes from all over the world with a smile.
“It’s just that learning magic is not an easy task, it requires children to have magic talents.”
"Sir, Mr. Appleby, what exactly is magic talent?"
"How to detect this talent?"
"Can you guarantee the fairness of the selection?"
“I still believe that only the United States can guarantee a fair and public selection!”
Ignoring the two whining losers behind, Appleby explained with a smile: “I’m sorry, it’s up to you to judge whether you have magic talent. Mr. Riddle is in charge and I trust he will select qualified students.”
The meaning is very clear, it is our magicians who are choosing students, not you who are choosing teachers or schools. If you have the ability, look for others.
As he spoke, Appleby took out a folded letter. The front of the letter was stamped with a red wax seal. The seal was a badge, representing Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
"Please look at this, everyone, this is the invitation letter for admission to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry." Appleby held up the letter and the camera showed a close-up, so viewers around the world can clearly see the appearance.
He opened the letterhead in front of the world's audience, revealing a piece of yellowish parchment with formatted text written on it and a name left blank.
"Dear Mr. (Ms.) XX, we are honored to inform you that you have been admitted as a student at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry..."
Appleby recited the formatted text of the letter affectionately, and was more engaged than giving a speech at a cabinet meeting.
"If your parents (or guardians) approve your admission, please sign (or fingerprint) in the space below and the magic will pass your family's feedback back to the school."
" After signing, the admission invitation letter will serve as a space key. Please hold it tightly and the magic will take you directly to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.” British support for magic schools.
“After negotiation with Mr. Riddle, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry will not charge any fees, and our government will provide free food and accommodation for every student.”
This is called speaking skills. It was obviously a request from Tom Riddle, but Appleby didn't say a word wrong, but it gave people the feeling that it was won by the British government.
Sure enough, reporters from all over the world gave enthusiastic applause at the press conference, and the poor people in front of the screen finally had a glimmer of hope.
Before, they never thought that this kind of thing would happen to them. They were just watching the excitement. Even if they were lucky enough to be selected, they wouldn't even be able to pay for the travel expenses.
There are so many countries on the planet. Not every country has a sound government that will invest in people at the bottom after they show value. There are also many turbulent countries that have no order and only believe in the "people eat people" rule. .
They will not invest in you, or they will try to snatch your opportunity. If they find that they cannot snatch it, they will even destroy you directly with the dark mentality of "I don't want to have you without you."
But it's different now.
This magic school seems to have taken all this into consideration. It does not charge tuition and does not require you to travel far. As long as you are selected, you can set off immediately.
Even if the neighbors find out that there is no one at home, they can openly announce it without worrying about any shady people, because after the established fact is established, they will only hide their jealousy and surround you with enthusiastic smiles.
Who dares to offend a family destined to have an extraordinary person?
After explaining in detail, Appleby raised his wrist, looked at his watch, and said with a smile: "The time scheduled by Mr. Riddle has arrived, and the enrollment invitation letters have been sent to the selected children. Please, children Fully discuss with parents to decide whether to enroll.”
"Friendly reminder, the magic on the letter will expire after 24 hours, so children and parents please decide as soon as possible to avoid missing the opportunity."
"Tomorrow afternoon, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry will hold a grand ceremony Welcome friends from all over the world to visit the completion ceremony and the first opening ceremony. "In the evening, it is also Christmas Eve, and the magic school will hold an opening dinner."
After that. Besides, you can’t tell the whole world that there will be life-extending treasures at the dinner party, right?
It’s a pity that even if he didn’t say it, the people on earth who should get the news still got it. The "Spirit Eagles" in the United States are so angry that they will explode.
"Why? Why can't you rob the magic school? Now that you are controlled by others, your voice has become softer!"
"How to rob it? If you want to rob it, you can only start a war."
"The key is that even if we start a war, we may not be able to get it. The wizard seems to be full of hostility to the United States."
At this time, a well-informed person revealed the attitude Tom had conveyed to the British high-level officials.
"Because he thinks that we, the descendants of robbers and thieves, are not worthy of learning noble magic..."
"Fake Squid!"
"Bichi!"
" How dare he?”
“Why don’t you pretend to be an old English nobleman and go to the dinner party at Christmas if you can?”
"Alas..."
"Force will inevitably bring revenge. Our technology cannot defend against space magic at all, and others have something we urgently need, so we can only cooperate."
"Why doesn't America have its own magician? Doesn't God no longer protect America?"
"We can get to where we are today, not because of God..."
"In the past two years It is indeed a disaster, and I don’t know what happened.”
Ah sneeze!
Lin Hao sneezed, touched his nose, and was a little confused: "Can I still catch a cold now?"
"No, someone must have scolded me!"
Just right. , the phone bug rang.
Jung Hyun’s face appears in the video projection.
"Okay, are you scolding me?" Lin Hao is used to taking the initiative.
He knew that Zheng Xian was probably under too much pressure when he contacted him at this time.
“How do you plan to end the situation like this?” Zheng Xian stared at him closely.
There is no need to think about it. When Tom Riddle appeared for the first time, Zheng Xian was sure that this person was created by Lin Hao.
"If you perform a full set of performances, there will also be children from China selected, and it is guaranteed that they will all be members of the Divine Spear Bureau." Lin Hao had already thought about it.
"When do you plan to open this school?" Zheng Xian asked again.
"Why are you panicking? The first batch of students will graduate in seven years at the earliest." Lin Hao is confident to control the situation: "In seven years, I can rebuild the Lingxiao Palace even if it is not guaranteed. How many more people should I be afraid of?" A little kid magician?”
Anyway, Zheng Xian is on his side and will calm down the internal pressure for him.
Except for Zheng Xian, no one knows the real boss behind this magic school. Zheng Xian’s pressure comes from the arms race and...
“Where is the dinner party? What are you going to do? Moth?”
