At this moment, Nicole, who was almost headless, floated over and floated between Elwyn and Harry.
"Hello, did you have a good summer vacation? Speaking of which, a lot of things happened during this holiday! " He deliberately spoke in a very sad tone, shaking his head on his neck. He looked like he was preparing, as if he was reciting something. "Many people died. Bad things happen every day. The world of magic is in a state of panic …"
"You're quite well-informed, you know everything." Ron said casually, stuffing another piece of cake into his mouth. He swallowed hard and made a vague sound, "I dare say, you definitely did not leave Hogwarts."
"I did not leave, but I can see it from the newspaper." "Every morning, Dobby would give me the latest issue of Hogwarts Magic Times, and I would tell him the news I collected from the castle. From there, I know what's happening in the magic world …" Nicole said grumpily, dissatisfied with Ron's interruption, "Every morning, Dobby would send me the latest issue of Hogwarts Magic Times.
Through this method, Hogwarts Magic Newspaper collected information about the ghosts.
Every day, the phantom of the house-elf would appear in the homes of the ghosts, collect all kinds of information, and then feed it back to the newspaper headquarters, where a special editor would be responsible for sorting it out. Dobby was responsible for the transmission of information in the area of Hogwarts and Hogsmeade.
Through this method, as well as the house-elves hired by Fred and George's shop, Elwyn had now become the second house-elf employer in the whole of England, second only to Hogwarts, and the number of house-elves working for them was increasing. Next, if they could persuade the house-elves in the underground world to come out to work, the number of elves they hired would even surpass Hogwarts, becoming the largest house-elf employer.
Hermione planned to use this method to gradually promote her S.P.E.W. concept, which was a new idea she had recently come up with.
It sounded much more reliable than the previous simple propaganda, calling on people to be kind to the house-elves and so on.
Although they were still unwilling to accept wages and holidays, it was an indisputable fact that the treatment of the house-elves had improved.
If this treatment could become the standard for hiring house-elves, perhaps the current situation could be changed.
Hermione's idea was good, but Elwyn felt that the fundamental problem with house-elves was that they were not servants hired by wizards, but slaves without wages and freedom. Even if the practice of treating house-elves well became the standard, it would not change anything.
That was because that was the standard for "hiring" house-elves, not the standard for using slaves.
"Don't think of ghosts as ignorant. Although we've been dead for a long time, we still try to accept new things." Nicole emphasized her tone and looked at Ron, who was struggling with the food. "I read the newspaper every day, not missing any section. I know what's happening in the magic world, and what Elwyn did in Egypt. I know all about it."
"That's really amazing," Ron said perfunctorily without raising his head to look at him.
"A spirit that can read newspapers is truly amazing," Elaine interjected.
"It's actually not that difficult, is it?" Nicole immediately turned her head to look at Elijah and said with a smile, "However, I'm indeed the only one among the spirits to do so. The other spirits don't have the patience and find it troublesome. They all ask me for information, do you still remember …"
He told them that with the help of the newspaper, he was now the most well-informed of all the ghosts.
Even Sir Bodmore came to him for information.
This guy was the captain of the Headless Horseman Club. He had always looked down on Nicole because his head had not been completely chopped off. On the day of Nicole's death anniversary party, he and the other Headless Horseman members had been invited. That night had been a nightmare.
They had made a mess of the party. Of course, most of the ghosts had thought it was very interesting.
Nicole finally said that as a hobby, he thought reading the newspaper was much more valuable than hitting his head like a ball.
Elwyn was skeptical of this statement. If possible, he probably still wanted to join the Headless Horseman Club.
Moreover, with Elwyn's understanding of the club, it was also doubtful that they could talk to Nicole like that.
"You guys seem to be very concerned about the situation in the magic world?"
"Yes, the ghosts have been talking about what has happened recently. Everyone wants to know the latest news, so they came to me," Nicole said. "All kinds of rumors are spreading rapidly among us. It's hard to tell the truth from the lies."
"What rumors are there?"
"A lot. The scariest one is that the mysterious man and his followers are hunting us everywhere. Many ghosts have gone missing," Nicole said and suddenly lowered his voice. As Nicole spoke, he suddenly lowered his voice. "It's said that there's a type of extremely evil black magic that requires the use of a person's soul. Ghosts are also a type of soul. That's why they are hunting us everywhere. It sounds scary, doesn't it? I can't imagine what kind of magic this is. "
Elwyn blinked. He knew what kind of magic it was …
When transforming oneself into an evil god, a large number of souls were needed as energy and necessary materials. From the information he had gathered so far, the specific process of casting this magic was very detailed. The number of materials needed was also beyond imagination. Different souls had different uses, and it might involve special souls like ghosts.
In that case, the Lord Voldemort and the rest had already started to attack the ghosts?
Or was it really just a rumor …
"Although I think those guys who went missing might just be hiding, it's undeniable that this rumor made everyone very afraid. So, many ghosts ran to the Hogwarts," Nicole said, returning to his normal voice. "After all, with Dumbledore around, this should be the safest place in the magic world. You guys might not know this, but during this holiday, the school's security measures are a hundred times stronger than before. It's very reassuring. "
When he entered the school gate, Elwyn felt this. There were protection spells everywhere.
Previously, it was possible to bring people out through the door keys and specific fireplaces. Now, it was completely impossible.
Of course, there were other loopholes. No matter how tight the protection was, it was not omnipotent.
