Capital was cold and ruthless, but one of its most prominent characteristics was its efficiency.
In such a capitalistic society, the most important thing was to be efficient. If one was caught unprepared, the opportunity might have already passed.
This was the so-called "opportunity knocks but never comes again."
If this thing was taken away by others, it would be difficult to get it back.
"You have a point. I'll send them a letter to ask."
Jon waved his hand, and a light gray parchment flew up. With a flick of his finger, he left behind a clear handwriting.
As his magical abilities grew, his life became more and more convenient. There were some things that originally required him to do personally, but now there was no such troublesome method.
Magic was indeed a miraculous thing. As long as he flicked his finger, his will would be carried out by the magic elements floating in the air. Moreover, the results would be imagined, even better than doing it personally.
Of course, this was only limited to simple things.
However, the meaning of magic itself was the same as that of technology. It was to make the lives of those who could control it more convenient, so this was not a big problem.
"Oh, right."
After Jon finished writing the letter and sent it out, Cecatly suddenly thought of a problem.
"Yesterday, Naughty Ghost sent a note over. It seems to be asking if you have time to accompany him. Where are you going?"
"If I were to accompany him, it should be to see the Basilisk. Recently … You also know that the Basilisk has woken up from its sleep. Due to the restriction of the spell, there is no way to make it go back to sleep for a while. This kind of magic beast hibernating in the shadows of Hogwarts is a very dangerous thing to do.
As the principal's secretary, Naughty Ghost naturally has to do something befitting of his status to prevent the Hogwarts students from being attacked by the Basilisk.
There's no other way. Who told the principal to not be in school recently? "
Jon was really puzzled. Where did Dumbledore and Grindvall go?
Why hadn't they returned yet? Logically speaking, with their strength, half a month's time was enough for them to travel across the entire Earth. What had they spent so much time doing?
Although he guessed that the two of them had gone to look for the last Resurrection Stone in the Sacred Artifact of Death, he couldn't ask them since they weren't by his side. Moreover, Dumbledore and Grindvall didn't leave him any way to contact them after they disappeared. This made his work more difficult.
"Actually, it's not that difficult. Naughty Ghost can help you solve most of the problems here. If there's something he can't solve, we can discuss it. There are three professors in the school who can help you directly. What are you not satisfied with?"
"There's nothing that I'm not satisfied with. It's just that we've been in school for too long. This little house is only so big. If we continue to stay here, we'll both turn into fossils."
"You're exaggerating. It's not as serious as you think, okay?"
Cecatly, on the other hand, was indifferent.
"Actually, we haven't been here for too long. It's just that you've been here every day. That's why you feel that it's been too long.
If you really want to, you can go out and take a walk. Hogwarts is quite big, especially in the forest behind. There are a lot of interesting things. You can go and take a look. There's no need to force yourself so hard. "
Cecatly didn't feel that there was a big problem. After all, she had been like this for many years. Because of her identity, she couldn't leave the manor and could only go out when she was working.
Therefore, she didn't feel that there was any problem with sitting here. To be honest, wasn't this just a change of location?
For her, the way she used to increase her strength was only through her bloodline. Sometimes, she would obtain some extra strength. She had never felt the joy of being able to control her strength and feel it grow by herself like this.
The feeling of being able to feel the growth of her strength and slowly becoming stronger was amazing.
When people became stronger, they would feel an inexplicable sense of pleasure. It stimulated their nerve center, causing them to hallucinate. They would feel as if they were as big as the sky and as vast as the mountains. In short, it was a very majestic feeling.
This was the reason why some people would rather hurt themselves in order to become stronger.
That thing was addictive.
Jon didn't have such an experience because his strength … was too simple. Moreover, he had seen more powerful existences, so he didn't care about that bit of strength.
Although he was a rookie, after seeing Mount Everest, no one would think that a small hill that was only a few dozen meters tall was tall.
Therefore, he was very anxious to increase his strength. He wasn't like Cecatly who was content with the current situation.
That was because he couldn't get any joy from the slow progress. He needed faster things to stimulate himself. Or rather, he needed something more exciting.
"Then, according to what you said, facing the snake monster might be a very exciting thing, right?
I think if you go, you might be able to gain something. Just do as I told you before. That snake monster has lived for so many years, it's time for it to die. "
"Wake up, I can't beat a powerful magical beast like the snake monster. The snake monster's natural enemy is a rooster, and I'm just a rookie."
"What a boring joke. You're the Wizard. What's so hard about killing a snake monster that has been sleeping for so many years?"
Cecatly flicked her finger.
"Isn't the biggest difference between you and a magical beast that you have a brain?
Use your wisdom, use the talent you usually use to debate with me. What's there to be afraid of about a snake monster? "
"You're not fearless, you're just standing there and talking. Anyway, you're not going, so of course you don't care."
After being rolled eyes by Cecatly for so many days, Jon finally found the opportunity to roll his eyes.
Facing a snake monster and still wanting to accomplish his goal, this kind of thing was not that easy.
If the snake monster was so easy to talk to, he wouldn't have been blown away by the aftermath of the battle.
"I personally suspect that although Mr. Salazar Slytherin left this snake monster for the school to protect the Hogwarts, but after so many years, this snake monster might have developed some wisdom that it shouldn't have. Plus, it had been in contact with Voldemort before, so I don't think this risk is worth it."
