007. If there is a new one, who would want the old one?
[You have received sincere praise from Adrien Fox, a professor of Dark Magic Defense, and he intends to make an investment in you.]
【Occurrence and defense spell talent +1, offense and defense spell strength +1, black magic talent +1, black magic strength +1】
Lynn was shocked.
It is not surprising that he can add points by himself after receiving praise from the professor. After all, this was reflected in Professor McGonagall before. As long as the praise is sincere, professors from various subjects will add points to various magic.
The praise from the professor of the Black Magic Defense Class is also understandable when adding points to offensive and defensive curse.
But...what the hell is adding some points to the black magic talent?
You are the defense of black magic! Black magic is getting stronger and stronger, your defense is no wonder!
Moreover, his talent for black magic was already high enough. If he continued to do so, would he be a black wizard?
Fox thought Lynn was considering his investment proposal just now, so he didn't disturb him, but was happy to see that a man enjoyed the mutton just being eaten in the hot pot.
After thinking about it, Lynn speculated that there are three possibilities for this situation:
The first one is the most likely, and the problem lies in the Black Magic Defense class, which is very special.
The second type is that Fox just now not only praised him, but also added some points to his intention to invest. However, there is no explanation for why he added it to the black magic, so the second type may be a bit far-fetched.
The third type is also the one that Lynn prefers most, which is his black magic defense professor, his own problem...
Fox noticed Lynn's gaze looking at him, so he asked out loud.
“How are you considering?”
"Although I live alone now, I will also pay a fixed amount of living expenses every month, so... Sorry, professor, I'm not short of money."
Lin En was not praised for a few words, and then he sipped his beer and proudly forgot about the east, west, south and north.
Investors invest for returns and returns. Now they get a sum of money they don’t need much, but who knows what they will pay in the future.
Lynn's refusal did not surprise Fox, and he did not treat him as a child now.
"Although you are very smart, you don't know much about the magic world, Belloc." Lynn was already full, but Fox was still putting potatoes and lettuce into the hot pot.
"The currency in the magic world is different from the currency of Muggle. Oh, the Muggle here refers to ordinary people who do not know magic and do not believe in magic.
Although Gringott has the business of exchanging Muggle currency in the Magic World currency, that is, Jin Jialong, in the bank of the wizarding world, this exchange is not endless.
Those elves are not fools. Some of them even pretended to be humans and went to Oxford University in Muggles to study economics and obtained a degree certificate.
Therefore, the currency exchange rules they formulated are restrictive and fluctuating, and are subject to changes at any time according to the monetary inventory and economic needs of the magic world.
This year is a coincidence, because the economy in the Muggle world is in a downturn, they have strictly restricted the exchange of currency. Even if you spend a lot of pounds, you can only exchange ten Garons at most.
Ten Jinjialongs, a magic wand requires at least seven. You have to leave some money for emergencies. Do you still have money to prepare for the remaining school robes, books, cauldrons, etc.?"
Lynn really doesn't have a deep understanding of the magic world. Not to mention how much he still remembers the original plot, even if he remembers them all, there will definitely not be much introduction to the original book.
For example, in terms of currency, he really has no idea about the specific exchange rules.
But not knowing it does not mean that Lynn has no doubt about Fox's words.
"But students from Muggle families like me are definitely not an isolated case. If they don't have enough money to buy magic items, what should they do when they go to school? Hogwarts won't sit idly by, right?"
"Of course not. In previous years, if such a situation occurred, the Ministry of Magic and the School Board would jointly fund the fund. Hogwarts came forward to issue a subsidy to the students of the Muggle family. Although it was not much, it was enough to satisfy their daily needs. But it has been different in the past two years. The Ministry of Magic and the School Board of Hogwarts are reducing school expenses, especially the school board is basically composed of pure blood families. The direction of the knife is of course you, the group of young wizards from Muggle families."
Fox didn't say it too bluntly. There are many twists and turns in it, including the contradiction between Dumbledore and the Ministry of Magic, the contradiction between Dumbledore and the school board, the contradiction between the academic and the family, and the most important, the contradiction between pure and non-pure blood.
“Dumbledore has made the biggest fight for you, besides essentials like wands, other things like school robe book crucibles, Muggle-born students can accept gifts from fresh graduates, which means you can use used second-hand goods they have used.
But I think, Belloc, you are definitely not a person who is willing to treat yourself badly. If there is a new one, who would be willing to use the old one?"
Lin En was speechless, actually complaining in his heart that it was not necessarily true. If it was a magic potion textbook used by a mixed-race prince, he would be very happy to use second-hand ones.
"So what reward do you need if I accept your investment? Professor?" Lynn asked.
The smile on Fox's face became stronger, and it was obvious that Lynn was moved.
"I need you to come to me after graduation and be my assistant for a few years."
"Assistant?" Lynn frowned, "Can't anyone else? There are many talents in the magic world, right? Why do you have to be me?"
Faced with Lynn's series of problems, Fox smiled mysteriously at him.
"I'm not studying ordinary things, Belloc. You haven't entered school yet, so I don't know much about the magic world. Even if I say it, you may not understand it. You just need to know that I will not let you do something that is harmful to the world, but it will require extensive magic knowledge, multi-angle thinking ability, and... being able to accept some things that the magic world cannot accept."
After hearing him say this, Lynn looked at Fox with a weird look, wondering if the thing he was talking about was black magic.
"You're so sure that I'll meet the requirements you said after graduation?"
Fox looked at him with a smile.
"So I said this is an investment. If you don't meet the requirements at that time, it means that my investment has failed, but the loss is only a lot of money.
Besides, maybe I won’t live when you graduated from Hogwarts. I have no idea whether I can spend this year safely in Hogwarts.”
Lynn fell into deep thought.
To be honest, he had no resistance to black magic. Magic itself is innocent. Those who are guilty are those who use magic. What's more, his talent for black magic is extremely high, and Hogwarts does not teach black magic at all, which is not an opportunity for him.
Of course, he is not 100% sure what Fox is talking about is black magic, but the chance is indeed very high.
Moreover, as he said, Lynn has not even entered school yet, and it is even more impossible to graduate. He will also experience a series of things about Voldemort's restoration. No one knows what kind of changes will happen at that time.
So Lynn made his decision.
"Happy deal, Professor Fox." He raised his beer and blinked with a smile.
