Hogwarts: What bad intentions could a little badger have?

"Teacher, I understand." After a long while, Delphi whispered.

This wizard is indeed different from the ones she met before.

At least, no other wizard except Teacher Brian has said these words to her, not even Merlin.

"Okay, I hope you really understand." Blake nodded with satisfaction.

"Then... Teacher, since you want me to be more sincere, then... I have questions, so I will ask directly." Delphi said carefully.

Blake knew that this was Delphi testing, she was trying to get along with herself in another way.

That way was something she had never tried before... taking off the mask... or in other words, the way of communication after taking off most of the mask.

It was also the way of communication that Blake wanted her to adopt.

She wanted to know whether Blake really thought so or was just talking.

"If you have any questions, just ask. I will answer what I can answer, and I will tell you the reason why I can't answer it." Blake, who knew Delphi's thoughts, said slowly.

"Then... Teacher, what I want to ask is, why did you agree to let me be your student?" After asking the question, Delphi looked at Blake with hope.

This question is actually very important. She wants to know what is in her that makes this great wizard want to teach her knowledge, even if her flattery disgusts him.

You know, she has approached other wizards in the tower, but although these people are polite on the surface.

But when it comes to teaching people, they hide their knowledge. No one is willing to teach a stranger their best knowledge.

Only Merlin is really willing to teach me knowledge... Of course, it is a bit inappropriate to say that he taught me. It should be said that Merlin taught his knowledge to everyone...

So, facing this great wizard who favored her, Delphi felt that it was very necessary to figure out this problem.

"That's it?" Black looked at Delphi with a strange look.

"Yes, that's it. I... I want to know the reason."

"Isn't the reason very simple?" Black said: "You are the smartest and most studious of all the young wizards I have ever met. So, I plan to teach you my knowledge and change some of your habits that I don't like."

"Ah? Just... that simple?" Delphi asked in surprise.

"It's that simple." Blake nodded and said, "I don't know if you have traveled around. When I traveled before, I met many wizards. Forget about the older wizards. Let's just talk about the young wizards I met... Although some of them have good talents, they don't have much understanding. Even if they learn attack spells quickly and are very strong in fighting, they are completely paralyzed when they encounter more sophisticated knowledge..."

"YouYou know, the skills I am really proud of are alchemy and potions. Those idiots always stare at my dark magic. They don't care about the knowledge I am really good at..."

Black's face showed a proper look of dissatisfaction.

"Once, I tried to explain alchemy to a young wizard with good talent... But I gave up after only five minutes. I have never seen such a clear and stupid look..."

"So... when I came to the tower and saw you, I knew that you were very suitable to learn my knowledge. Because you are really interested in my knowledge and very eager, that kind of desire can't be acted. Moreover, you are very smart and very insightful!"

"So, although your flattering appearance makes me unhappy, I still decided to accept you as a student. Because I know that flattery is just a means for you to gain knowledge. "

Of course, these so-called experiences of Black were fabricated.

However, the people of this era, whether wizards or Muggles, were all very ignorant. This was originally an ignorant era.

In a word, the people were not enlightened. Ordinary Muggles had basically no education. Only nobles or rich people could study.

And the wizarding world was even worse. The long-term family inheritance model made these wizards generally biased in their studies. Moreover, except for going to Hogwarts, there was basically no other way to learn any knowledge beyond the family inheritance. However, most of these people points, but they just don't want to go to Hogwarts.

So young wizards of this era are generally very smart. Even if Neville is put back to this era, he will be a talented young man.

So, Black made up this set of true and false words.

After listening to Black's explanation, Delphi really believed it. Because she came back earlier than Black, she certainly knows what the current era is like.

For someone like her who has read a lot of books in the future and has broadened her horizons, returning to this era can really be said to be a crane among chickens...

"So that's how it is. "Delphie murmured.

Perhaps she really thought too much.

Teacher Brian had never approached her actively.

In the beginning, it was she who approached him, deliberately approached him, and deliberately flattered him...

In other words, her thoughts that he might have some intentions towards her were really stupid.

If there was really an intention, it was obviously her...

Of course, Delphie was the kind of person who was wary of everyone...

This was inseparable from her tragic childhood.

After sorting out these thoughts, Delphie finally reluctantly let go of her vigilance against Blake and developed a little trust in Blake.

"Any other questions?" Blake asked.

"No...no, old man.Teacher." Delphi shook her head. But this time, the teacher sounded much smoother.

"Okay, since you don't have any questions, then, it's my turn to ask you a few questions." Blake said.

Delphi immediately became nervous, but when she thought of what Blake meant just now, she would not force herself to say something she didn't want to say. Therefore, she felt more at ease.

"Ask me, I will answer what I can answer." Delphi said the same as Blake.

She had made up her mind that once Blake asked her about her past, she would just say she didn't want to tell him.

Previous experience told her that she must never lie in front of Blake.

"Okay, what I want to ask you is...what do you think of old Merlin's ideal of establishing the tower? "Blake asked.

Blake's question caught Delphi off guard.

She thought Blake would ask her about herself, but she didn't expect him to ask this...

"Merlin's ideal..." Delphi knew about Merlin's idealistic dream.

Delphi instinctively wanted to say a few good words for Merlin, but... after seeing Blake's sharp eyes, Delphi gave up the idea.

"I think Merlin's ideal is difficult to achieve." Delphi told the truth.

"Very good, I'm glad you didn't say nonsense to me, so... please continue." Blake motioned for Delphi to continue.

Delphi took a deep breath, and then continued: "I have been in the tower for a long time. I found that Mr. Merlin did what he promised, that is, he taught all his knowledge to the wizards who joined the tower for free..."

"But... compared to Mr. Merlin's generosity, the wizards who joined did not really give their real knowledge... the knowledge they handed over to the tower was obviously the most superficial part."

"In other words, these people were planning to take Mr. Merlin's knowledge for free. Therefore, the scene that Mr. Merlin hoped to see, that wizards actively communicated and learned from each other, was impossible to happen."

"Human nature is like this. So, I think Mr. Merlin’s idea is too naive...” (To read the exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)

Delphie said what she had been holding back in her heart in one breath.

Merlin’s ideal can be said to be extremely romantic, but... that’s all.

The wizards who joined the tower just came to get free knowledge and left after getting it. They would not leave all their knowledge in the tower as agreed, nor were they interested in communicating and improving each other for the future of the so-called wizarding world...

So, in Delphie’s view, Merlin’s ideal was impossible to achieve.

After listening to Delphie’s words, Blake already knew what was going on.

"Delphie, you are right, but have you ever thought that what you are thinking of has already been thought of by old Merlin?"

"Ah? But... I don't understand why? Since he has already thought of it, why does he still do this?" Delphie really didn't understand what Merlin was trying to do.

"If you want to change something that is deeply rooted, it is impossible without paying..." Blake said: "So, old Merlin originally intended to contribute his knowledge. Even if those wizards did not make the due exchange..."

"He turned himself into a banner. In the long run, there will always be people who will be infected by his spirit and imitate his behavior. Although there are few, there will definitely be such people..."

"Aren't there such people in the tower? For example... Balder who ate the poisonous fruit and was poisoned."

"Even if there are not many such people in the end, when Merlin's knowledge spreads, the wizarding world will still make progress. Don't underestimate Merlin's knowledge..."

"To be frank, perhaps the knowledge that those wizards hide is in Merlin's knowledge base. Even if they don't exchange, the tower will not lose much."

|= |

"When more and more people find that the knowledge they cherish is just a common thing in the tower, will anyone be so stingy with their knowledge?"

"Over time, when they find that the knowledge they have learned is actually similar, everyone will gradually let down their guard. When they want to make progress, they will inevitably communicate with each other, and in this way, Merlin's ideal will take another step forward."

"And after they communicate, some new knowledge emerges... Then this new knowledge is the fresh blood in the tower and the fresh blood of the wizarding world. From then on, it will be passed down from generation to generation, and the development of the wizarding world will be stronger from generation to generation..."[]

"Of course, this process may be extremely long... But in the eyes of old Merlin, all of this will come true one day."

After listening to Blake's analysis, Delphi was also shocked.

"It is undeniable that what Mr. Merlin did is indeed great, but... I still think it is too naive. And there are many variables..."

Delphi said with sharp eyes: "Teacher... the matter of the tower will definitely be spread. If it is not spread, other people will not know that there is Merlin's knowledge here."

"However, everyone knows the value of knowledge, let alone Mr. Merlin's knowledge, so..."

"On the other hand... Teacher, do you think it is possible that someone will want to conquer the tower and take the knowledge of the tower for themselves?"

"For some people, the temptation of this knowledge is the same as the temptation of treasure to ordinary people!"

Blake smiled and said: "You are right, Delphi! I thought of this too."

"At this stage, the tower orMaybe it's okay, but what happens after Merlin dies? The tower without the protection of the strong is just a piece of fat meat that can be slaughtered at will. Everyone wants to take a piece of it. "

"Then, by then, the tower will fall apart in an instant!"

"I think Merlin must have thought of this, so... before he died, he would definitely appoint a wizard to inherit his will and continue to be the guardian of the tower."

"If I'm not mistaken, he wants me to be the next guardian of the tower, and as for you... you will be my guardian after 433... Otherwise, why would old Merlin teach you wholeheartedly? And why is he so active in letting you learn magic from me? "

Delphie's eyes widened. She just realized it now. No wonder old Merlin favored her so much and asked her to be his assistant. He even taught her everything he had learned and gave her personal guidance.

No one in the tower had such treatment as her...

That is to say, before Mr. Brian came, Merlin had trained her as his successor.

When he met Mr. Brian and found that he shared the same ideals with him, old Merlin changed his mind.

It was decided that Black would be the next guardian of the tower. As for Delphie, she was still young and needed more time to become stronger. It happened that she could learn from Black and then be trained as the next guardian of the tower.

At this time, Black said again: "Do you know why I am telling you this?"

"Why? ”

“Because I want to make old Merlin's ideal come true faster... His plan is too slow, and, as you said, there are too many variables..."

Delphi asked curiously: "Teacher, how do you want to speed up this process?"

"You just said that those wizards who come to the tower are all planning to learn knowledge for free and leave after learning, right?"

"Yes..."

"Then... What if I can make them not leave, and also contribute what they have learned wholeheartedly, and then communicate and improve with each other?"

"But... how do you do this? "

Blake smiled and said, "You should have read the manuscript I gave you... Then, you should have noticed... the alchemy that can make people obedient..."

Delphi looked at Blake in shock, not because she was shocked by Blake's unscrupulous heart, but because... Blake's style of doing things was really to her taste!

"Will this... not be too bad?" Delphi's face flashed with excitement.

"What's wrong? Although I forced them to communicate with each other and forced them to improve, but... the result is the same as what old Merlin expected in the end. When all wizards are members of the tower, won't old Merlin's ideal come true?"

"Besides... if you want to get something, you have to pay a price... this is an eternal truth. If they want to learn the knowledge of the tower, thenYou have to become a member of the Tower... Remember, you have to truly become a member of the Tower... How can you get something for nothing?"

Delphi looked at Blake with a little more admiration.

That's right! Although the process is a bit unpleasant, Blake's approach is just to turn something that was originally voluntary into something that must be done! This is the price they pay for obtaining knowledge of the Tower!

"So... what is that alchemy like?"

"Haha, I made a ring... Are you ready? Delphi? Let's work together to make the Tower even greater...".
