Chapter 817 Questions and Answers

one,

Usually, in order to achieve a balance between praise and criticism, and to prevent the magic school teams from falling into excessive inflation or excessive inferiority complex, what will appear in front of everyone after self-affirmation will be a platform for the general public to be questioned.The European wizarding education evaluation conference did not disappoint the Durmstrang representative team. After all the 47 representative teams showed off, the host of the conference announced that it will enter the questioning session. School questions.

47...Chairman Sturlusson belatedly realized that this number was much larger than expected. There were 47 magic schools in Europe with formal school qualifications.What is incomprehensible is that in Heimdall's eyes, Heideggerach, whose indicators are top-notch, is not one of 47.

Heideggerack too short?The conventionality of the European Conference for the Evaluation of Wizarding Education is unmotivating.

The 10-minute preparation time quickly passed, and the witch who presided over the meeting began to call out according to the number.

All the representatives of the magic school numbered 1 stood up. Except for the team teacher and the team leader, the other five nervously walked down the aisle to the center of the arena, and stood in a row facing the rostrum.They all puffed out their chests and retracted their stomachs in unison, their facial expressions showing a bit of stiffness.

Number 1 is the most suspenseful number, and it is about to open up on a road full of unknowns.

Zug said suddenly, "I've seen it in the papers."

"What have you seen?" Everyone was puzzled.

"Muggles line up their prisoners when they execute them."

Everyone was speechless.

Heimdall asked, "You mean it's unlucky for them to stand in a row?"

Zug raised his voice seriously, "Only condemned prisoners stand like that!"

The gazes projected from all around also seemed a little ominous.

It turned out to be the meaning, as expected of the successor of the head of the experimental research laboratory, his divergent thinking is so incongruous.

"How should we stand? It's unlucky to stand in a horizontal row, and stand in a vertical row?" Carlo was entangled.

Heimdall shook his head resolutely, it wasn't a radio gymnastics competition!

"Not neatly arranged, more casual." Unexpectedly, Kane abandoned the deep mode and tried to blend into the group?

In an environment that requires everyone to work together, any small friction will only become an excuse for other teams to criticize Durmstrang. Eun offers words for collective glory—at least until the convention is over.

"The conference didn't stipulate that they have to line up after going down. They lined up spontaneously." Beja agreed with Kane's statement.

"Then it's a deal, we can order freely when it's our turn later." Mr. Chairman made a concluding speech.

Professor Roy Laurent was still dozing off little by little there, without the slightest awareness of the accompanying professor teaching by precepts and deeds. The leading teachers of the other representative teams took the time to give them instructions. Professor Laurent probably slept out of Europe at this moment and went to the New World up.The German school team was like motherless children. Laurent's rhythmic and soft voice reached their ears, and the little faces were a little bit bitter and bitter.

While they were having an in-depth discussion on the issue of standing, Magic School No. 1 ended the expert questioning session.The questioning mode of the European wizarding education evaluation conference is similar to the answering session, only asking but not answering, that is, they only ask questions, and the correct answers are not announced on the spot.The representative team that answered incorrectly in the answering session will know how many questions they answered correctly through the ranking of the representative team's points after the whole session is over.The process is very heart-wrenching, and until the end you still don't know what the correct answer is...

[Then please ask Magic School No. 1 to answer questions from other teams. ] The witch paused here. 【All teams, please get ready and pick up the rattles in your hands. ] Do you want to grab the questioning session?The representative teams looked at a certain team that had been deserting in fear.

"Is it my illusion? Why are other schools staring at us?" Carlo keenly felt the hostile eyes from all directions.

"It's not an illusion," said Leon, the only one in the seven-member team who listened to the experts' questions. "The following is the questioning session of each representative team of the magic school. The questioning method is the same as that of rush answering, and you need to ring the bell."

Four pairs of eyes focused on Chairman Strulusson.

Heimdall said calmly, "I don't even know the name of No. 1 school, how can I ask?"

The implication is to give up.

The magic school’s questioning session was in the second round, and other schools found that the terrifying Durmstrang had always kept a wait-and-see attitude. When the questioning reached the fourth round, Durmstrang still did not move, and the other teams finally felt relieved , Dedicated to the battle for the right to ask questions.

Everyone in Durmstrang, who seemed to be abandoned by the whole world, looked at each other.

Heimdall said strangely: "Why are these schools so elated all of a sudden? Making things difficult for their peers makes them happy? It's really bad!" Mr. Chairman deeply felt that he might have missed something.

The teammates squinted at him, don't be funny, you were very happy to make things difficult before, and the more frustrated you became, the more courageous you became.

"Should we also cultivate some spirit of participation and muster up the courage to have fun with the people?" Chairman Sturluson said and raised the rattle in his hand.

A scream that hurts the eardrums suddenly broke out in the arena, "He's going to ring the bell!"

It was French.

The fiery venue fell silent for an instant as if under a petrification spell, and even the representatives of Magic School No. 1 in the middle of the venue couldn't help their scalps tingling.Mr. Chairman, who could not understand French, still held the bell, and was puzzled by the sudden silence.

The first person to laugh out loud was Professor Boli on the rostrum. The petrification curse was broken by itself, and the laughter was very contagious, spreading to the audience in an instant.

Everyone in the German school couldn't help laughing.

"What's going on? Why are they laughing?" Heimdall asked with question marks all over his face.

"They're afraid of you," Carlo said.

"Afraid of me being so happy?" Heimdall didn't believe it.

Carlo pondered how to say so as not to dampen his enthusiasm, and after thinking for a moment, he suggested: "They want to use laughter to make you retreat."

Chairman Sturluson: "...It sounds similar to the expulsion method of dementors."

To the other teams in the same venue, Durmstrang's student union president is indeed no different from a villain.

two,

The witch who led Giorgio La Carlini into the reception room was Marie Meyer's vice-principal, a voluble vice-principal with a gracious smile and a pair of light brown eyes that were not restless. The cover-up deliberate glance made Victor, who had never had anything to do with impulsiveness, almost turned his face.

"Thank you," Victor said in English, pretending he didn't know Italian. "I want to talk to George alone. I hope you will give us some time. We have been separated for too long." Victor said here and turned to George Lacarlini, who looked unnatural in his eyes He swallowed hard.

Giorgio Lacarlini's momentary horror at his sudden appearance was not fake, he hadn't expected to see himself before that.But when Victor proposed to be alone, the other party showed no reluctance. This discovery made Victor look forward to the content of the next conversation.

The vice-principal pretended to ignore Victor's implication, and spoke insincerely flattering words in broken English. It wasn't until Victor showed a stern face that the vice-principal left the reception room with regret on his face.

The room finally fell silent.

"Sit." Victor pointed to the opposite chair and sat down.

Giorgio Lacarlini sat down nervously.

"Surprised to see me?" Victor didn't try to circle around.

Giorgio Lacarlini finally let out a sigh of resignation, "Yes."

Victor said slowly: "You should think of the consequences when you write such a letter to my partner."

"How do I know that you are so close..." Giorgio Lacarlini muttered.

"What do you have against me, please reveal something." Victor smiled slightly.

Giorgio Lacarlini pursed his lips, "Nothing."

"Since it's about me, I think I have a right to know."

"I do not want to say."

Victor looked at him for a while and confirmed that the other party was determined, so he said, "If I have a way to find you in a short time, then I can find out what I want to know from you. I'm not like Rigg, I don't care about the means Form, if it’s what I want to know, even if I need to drill a few holes in your head, I don’t mind doing it myself.”

Giorgio Lacarlini felt a chill run down his back from Victor's eyes.

"I, I'm your junior brother, you can't... that's against the law!"

"I have many juniors, not one less than you, and you are no longer a student of Durmstrang, an insignificant former junior," Victor said expressionlessly. "You are in the fourth grade this year, maybe in three years the hole in your head will be healed."

I don't know what Giorgio Lacarlini had imagined, his whole face was white.

"I said, I said... don't scare me..."

He also knew that the master was scaring him...or maybe not, who knows...

Victor made a gesture of invitation that seemed reasonable.

Giorgio Lacarlini took a deep breath, stared at the pattern on the table and said, "I don't have your handle." He raised his head, and the person he passed was so calm that it made people feel creepy.

"I really don't have your grip, that's just an excuse to ask Stulusson out! You have to believe me—"

"I know," Victor interrupted. "I don't think you have anything against me."

Giorgio Lacarlini was dumbfounded.

"I want to know the reason why you came out with Yorig, why you wanted to meet him, and even made up lies."

Giorgio Lacarlini opened his mouth and said awkwardly: "Actually, I just want to ask him something..."

"what's up?"

"It's nothing important."

"Drill holes."

Giorgio Lacarlini burst into tears, "I want to ask him about Kane's recent situation."

"Kane?"

"Yes, he used to be a member of the Durmstrang Experimental Research Laboratory. Later, because of a little friction, he had some small conflicts with Sturlusson, and was finally kicked out of the experimental laboratory by Sturlusson."

"It doesn't seem to be the version I heard."

Giorgio Lacarlini was quiet for a while, "... Kane thinks he has the ability to run the laboratory, he is just working hard to achieve his goal, Stulu is too small, since he has already won back the director in public Why did you drive Kane out of the laboratory?"

"The version I heard seems to be completely different from yours, but this is not the purpose of my visit today. I have no obligation to correct your concept of right and wrong, because that is none of my business," Victor said. "Don't go around in circles, get to the point!"

"I have been in touch with Kane. Even after I left Durmstrang, our communication has not been interrupted. We do often have disagreements, and we will fight when the quarrel is fierce, but this does not affect our friendship. I consider Kane my friend and Kane regards me as a friend, that hasn't changed."

Giorgio Lacarlini's expression gradually became tense, and a certain emotion seemed to be on the verge of breaking out in him.

"We originally agreed to travel together during the New Year's holiday. He sent me a letter on the eve of the holiday. In the letter, he happily said that he finally got approval-I don't understand this very well, and the letter didn't mention it; he He told me he couldn't travel with me, and promised to write me after the holiday, but I didn't hear from him until the holiday was over."

"Are you worried that your best friend has abandoned you?" Victor asked.

"I'm worried about Kane's safety!" Giorgio Lacarlini looked around nervously after speaking, as if he was afraid of being targeted by something.

"As far as I know, the best friend of yours is now safe and sound at school in Durmstrang."

"I don't feel right."

"Durmstrang?"

"No, it's Kane!" George Lacarlini suddenly lowered his voice. "I wrote him three separate letters before the end of the holiday and he never replied to me. I was very disturbed and at night I dreamed of screams from nowhere and I couldn't see him. Where, so I went to visit Kane's house before the end of the holiday."

"You didn't see him?"

"I see." Giorgio Lacarlini shut his mouth abruptly.

"What happened?"

"Family enjoyment."

"...Are you disappointed?"

"I'm scared." Giorgio Lacarlini swallowed his throat. "Kane's parents are very loving, it can be said that they are too loving, they only care about each other, Kane has not received the care of his parents since he was a child, he has been alone, his home is also very deserted, his parents rarely go home... ...why don't you speak?"

"Most people will tell you at this time that his parents finally realized that they neglected their only son and want to make up for him. This is a happy happy ending. Your worries are groundless. You are just affected by dreams Don't make a fuss. I think you didn't express your concerns to me to hear me say such things."

Giorgio Lacarlini grabbed Victor's hand, "That's not Kane, I can't explain the reason, my feeling tells me he is not, where did he get my friend?!"

three,

"After we go down, if there is no designated answer object on the rostrum and the representative teams of each school, Carlo will be the main answerer. If the answer is designated, Carlo will be the main answerer, and he will follow his instructions." Heimdall said before departure deployment.

Roy Laurent, who was digging poisonous weeds and breaking branches in the dream, could not be counted on at all.

"What about you?" Carlo didn't believe it was all over, he decided to take a step back?

"Do you think they will appoint me to answer?" Chairman Sturluson quickly reset the plan after figuring out what happened just now.

Several people suddenly fell silent.

"The plan is the plan. Let's adapt to the situation after playing, and pay attention to mutual cover." Heimdall said.

It's like going to war.

Mr. Chairman's answer to Durmstrang is that you can't be fooled casually!

[The following invites Magic School No. 21. 】

The audience was short of breath, as if they were facing an enemy, which shows how deeply No. 21 is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

The group of the German school still remembered the original plan. They did not stand neatly in a row like other schools. Although they were facing the rostrum, they were one to the east, one to the west, and one to the front. The arched moon lineup surrounding the center is up.

Professor Boli took over the job of the host and waved to the five students, [Durmstrang, move closer to the middle. 】The German schools, which tried to avoid stereotypes, eventually followed the crowd and gathered them into a "lineup of death row prisoners".

Professor Boli looked at them, [Whispering before going on stage, you are not thinking about any bad ideas again, are you? 】 Carlo glanced at Heimdall, who returned his wink.

Bo Li said with a smile: [Don't flirt, just you, tell me, what did you discuss just now? 】Stretched out his hand and pointed to the most tender-looking Zug.

Chu Ge was a little nervous, he didn't dare to look around, and said honestly: "The director asked us to answer the questions carefully, and we can't say no if we answer wrong."

【Office Chief? 】

"Heimdall Strulusson, the chairman of our student union, is also the head of the school's experimental laboratory."

[Well,] Bo Li nodded. [Why is your room chief so emphatic? 】

"I don't know..." Chu Ge shook his head.

Professor Boli raised the corner of his mouth, [Isn’t it true that you can’t say no if the answer is wrong? ] Zug looked bitter. He was used to obeying Heimdall, and he rarely thought about why...

Khabarovsk, including others, finally regained their balance by bullying minors.

Khabarov didn't feel embarrassed anymore, and started asking questions from the expert group.

[Professor Durmstrang’s black magic teaching materials have never passed the unified certification of formal institutions, nor have they been approved by authoritative institutions. There are no taboos in terms of absorbability and practicality. This is worrying. The parents of the students all think that this degree is quite difficult to grasp. How does Durmstrang face this problem? 】Speaking as if Durmstrang himself closed the country and reaped the consequences of himself.

Carlo was ready to answer, but Professor Boli called Heimdall's name. The three schools before them played freely without calling names. Everyone in the German school thought that the experts were tired of calling names.

"The status quo in Durmstrang is the school's ancient answer," Heimdall said.

[Durmstrang is not going to change? 】

"As far as I know, before the black magic was banned, there was no black and white magic in the wizarding world. Durmstrang has not changed, it has become people's hearts. Rather than forcing a school to change teaching principles, it is better to change the morality of the next generation. Conceptual work."

Children in the wizarding world enter magic schools at the age of 11. Education before the age of 11 is blank. The family with good financial conditions finds a tutor or sends the child to a specialized training institution. Morality and other aspects have hardly received systematic teaching. The correct concept of right and wrong must be established from an early age. Enlightenment education is very important. There is a saying that the country is easy to change and the nature is hard to change.

[Black magic is evil, they are dangerous, you can’t deny that, shouldn’t a school that teaches dangerous magic be banned?Durmstrang needs to know how to adapt, and only by keeping pace with the times can he survive. ] "Sorry, I don't agree with that," Heimdall said. "Schools that don't teach black magic must cultivate angels who can save lives and heal the wounded? Children who enter Durmstrang are bound to go astray after graduation? How many of the prisoners held in wizard prisons around the world are there? Graduated from Durmstrang? Or how many of them have received a systematic education in the dark arts?"

Professor Boli was silent, other experts had different expressions, and the school representatives whispered.

After a while Burley said again, [But the existence of Durmstrang is tantamount to telling wizards that black magic can actually be learned openly, in other words, nonsense can be used openly!Durmstrang's teaching principles continue to mislead some wizards into believing that there is nothing wrong with the use of the Dark Arts. ] "With all due respect, you are a little too strong." Heimdall pointed out bluntly.

Professor Boli's face was clearly displeased because of his sharp remarks.

[What about your answer? 】

"A person can't give up eating because he choked on food. Similarly, he can't put it on the shelf just because black magic kills people. When it comes to killing people, spells other than black magic can also do it. Last year, the whole world was very Among the wizards who died normally, only [-]% were killed by black magic." Heimdall suddenly smiled. "For wizards, killing people is easy."

Everyone trembled at his sudden soft words.

Professor Boli's face is cloudy and uncertain, and there are two forces in his heart competing for the commanding heights.

"Experts and professors, although the impression Durmstrang College has left on you since the conference was held is not very good, including gossip and gossip in the society, and our performance that we are not very gregarious, etc., I want to What I said is that we at the German School really thank the organizing committee for sending us the invitation letter to step into this threshold."

Professor Boli came back to his senses and laughed sarcastically.

"I know you don't believe it, but I don't care whether you believe it or not, I just convey my thoughts to you," Heimdall said with a face full of emotion: "Thank you for giving Durmstrang College this honor. It is not an easy opportunity to perform, thank you for giving us the opportunity to stand at the venue of the European Education Evaluation Conference, and let me have the opportunity to speak out what is in my heart."

The four of Carlo followed Heimdall and thanked them in unison.

[It's useless to flatter. 】Bali snorted coldly.

"I'm going through the process." Heimdall touched his nose.

Experts such as Khabarov were dumbfounded.

"When I came to the venue today, what I felt the most was the struggle and contradiction in the heart of the European Wizard Education Evaluation Conference," Heimdall said without rushing to finish. "The conference gave us a chance, and the conference regretted giving us a chance, so the conference needs to find a reason to continue to give us a chance from our performance. Because the reputation of Durmstrang College has always been too bad, European wizard education The evaluation of the conference must consider the positiveness of its own image, to prevent the breeding of unfavorable rumors such as the conference’s compromise with the black magic factory, and then affect the reputation of the conference established over hundreds of years.”

Professor Bo Li was silent for a long time, and sighed softly, 【You dare to say anything. ] He did not deny it.

The moods of the teams from each school suddenly became mixed.

Heimdall said frankly, "Durmstrang has always insisted on teaching black magic openly. We can completely hide from specialized institutions, but Durmstrang didn't do that, so I think openness and honesty are more conducive to communication without miscellaneous impurities. Even if Durmstrang is not recognized by the conference in the end, we have no regrets."

The experts on the podium bowed their heads thoughtfully one by one.

Chairman Sturlusson breathed a sigh of relief. It is time to be sharp and graceful. It's embarrassing to show Yue's false appearances. Mr. Chairman thinks that he is at the end of his talents, so he can keep his mouth shut and wait for the other party to finish.
