Chapter 231 Old Deng Was Really Stolen

"You have all the prerequisites to do this well, after all, I'm too busy." Lockhart said, finally noticed Anton's eyes, what a fine man he is, he reacted instantly come over.

"Haha, I won't let you pay in vain!"

Lockhart pulled out a blank parchment from the table, "In order to compile such a book with such wisdom, how could it be possible that some reference materials are not needed? I will collect all the magic books and materials in Hogwarts Open to you!"

Anton still looked at him coldly.

Old Deng had already made a list for him. Although black magic was not included, it was already a large enough number. This kind of condition can't tempt him at all.

But Lockhart still wrote smugly. In the end, he twisted his shoulders, took out an extremely delicate gold signature plate from the pocket of the wizard robe, and signed it very carefully.

This signature seemed to carry the magic power of Hogwarts Castle. After writing the last stroke, Anton felt his whole heart was shaken.

Squinting his eyes and quietly opening the magic eye, Anton was surprised to find that the parchment extended countless colored lines into the air, as if it was integrated with the entire Hogwarts.

Anton's heart moved, and the cabinet in the corner of the principal's office suddenly opened. It was full of Dumbledore's manuscripts and magical books that were not suitable for young wizards.

"Haha." Lockhart smiled, "I knew that the role of headmaster is very useful."

He pushed the parchment to the side of the desk, and looked at Anton with a smile, "Since we want to sort out the wisdom of the past, how can we not read Dumbledore's ideas for revisions again and again, I think every handwriting on it They are all precious treasures."

"Of course, it is also necessary to refer to some other books."

Lockhart tapped the parchment with his finger, "This may be the biggest permission signed by the principal to the students since the school was founded."

"..."

Anton remained silent.

Lockhart leaned back on the high-back chair and looked at him earnestly, "I won't let your efforts go to waste. I told you once that I want to teach you to write books and help you expand your reputation. I said to do it."

"This "Dumbledore's Wisdom" book will be signed by both of you and me."

"I'm the headmaster, and this thing is not a necessity for me, yes, I know who I am. But Anton, this kind of reputation built on Dumbledore's shoulders is absolutely necessary for you." The benefits are endless."

"With your talent in magic, you can use this reputation and the implied name of Dumbledore's heir, and follow his connections, to easily enter the Ministry of Magic and obtain a starting position that others envy."

"You can also participate in the International Federation of Wizards, the Wizengamot, various academic circles, various institutions and organizations that you have never thought of..."

Lockhart talked wildly.

Anton remained calm, staring at Lockhart, "Since this is the case, what good will it do you?"

"Gah~"

Lockhart's words came to an abrupt end, and he fiddled with his own fingers silently, trembling as if thinking of something terrible.

His tone was faint, "Sometimes there may be a swamp full of thorns under the road of bright flowers."

"My principal is not as beautiful as you imagined."

"It's like walking on thin ice. If you are not careful, you will fall into the abyss and never get up again."

Lockhart raised his head and looked at Anton fixedly, "I have to do something, I have to do a lot, Anton, I don't have enough time, I can only ask you for help, yes, I don't have much time left gone."

"I'd like to see the first draft before the end of the school year, okay?"

"Even if it's just a first draft."

Finally, in a lamenting tone, he said, "Help me."

silence……

There was a long silence.

Anton was still staring at Lockhart, and finally the corners of his mouth slightly curled up, "So, what's the price?"

"!!!"

Lockhart looked disbelieving.

"I thought I'd already told you how good it was for you!"

Anton shook his head calmly, "Fame? Do you think I really want it? Even if I want it, with my ability, I will naturally have a reputation that matches my strength in the future. I am only twelve years old, and I have never Don't worry about it."

"Principal Lockhart, I think similar words have been told to you before."

"..." Lockhart blinked and looked at Anton.

Anton blinked and looked at Lockhart.

for a long time.

for a long time.

"Okay, okay." Lockhart exhaled forcefully, "Greedy brat."

He stood up, thought for a while, and finally came to the high platform behind the desk, where there was a small staircase leading to a small locked tower.

Inside the tower is a pen made of a divination bird's feather, and a book made of black dragon skin—the pen of acceptance and the book of admission. They have the magical power to predict the list of students who are about to enter the school, and Hogwarts' admission letters are all based on this list.

At the bottom of this little staircase, there is a queer, quaint-looking little stone table.

Lockhart obviously hesitated, finally gritted his teeth, pulled out his wand and tapped it, a silver cuboid box appeared on the small table.

He came over and gently put the unknown metal box on the table, "You don't know how excited I was when I found it in the school's secret. It used to belong to Dumbledore, but now it belongs to Huo Gwartz, I have the power to arrange it."

After speaking, he sat down, took out another piece of parchment, and began to write seriously.

Anton leaned over curiously.

I saw that the box was covered with mysterious lines, and a line of words was engraved on it.

——[As a reference for latecomers, the most precious technical achievements of alchemy should not be easily destroyed. —Dumbledore, 1992]

This year's?

Show.

Anton somewhat guessed why Lockhart wanted to sort out Dumbledore's manuscripts. It was nothing more than a flattering scheme to please Dumbledore and leave a way for his own life.

But you give me what Dumbledore donated to Hogwarts...

Lao Deng knows that he is afraid that he will kill you with anger?

Haven't you considered this?

Anton looked at Lockhart who was writing furiously, thinking that he was a crazy gambler, sighed slightly, and shook his head.

In other words, his goal is not Dumbledore, and let the outside world think that he has done so many things for Dumbledore, so as to set up old Deng?

Forget it, too lazy to think so much.

Anton lightly touched the metal box with his fingers, and saw the lines on the box twist, and the box instantly became transparent.

in……

Inside is an irregular-looking red gemstone ore.

But if Anton didn't admit his mistake, no, he had seen it with his own eyes at the end of last school year, how could he admit his mistake.

This Nima is Nicole Flamel's Philosopher's Stone!

Show.

Dumbledore said at the time that this thing had been destroyed!

This old bee really doesn't know which sentence to believe!

Tut tut.

Old Deng, you were really robbed, do you know that?

Finally, Lockhart signed the document again in the name of the headmaster, and he let out a strong breath, "I can't control that much anymore!"

After finishing speaking, he stared at Anton, "Be sure to finish the book "Dumbledore's Wisdom" before the end of this school year, so that it will completely belong to you, otherwise you will not only be unable to open the secret storage spell on it, but will also be unable to open it." It was found that it was automatically taken back by the castle."

alright.

You offer too much, I can't refuse.

Anton carefully looked at the contents of the two pieces of parchment, and finally rolled them up and put them in the snuff box together with the metal box containing the Philosopher's Stone. He nodded slightly to show that he understood.

Now that the deal was settled, Anton turned around and left.

"Anton..."

Lockhart called out from behind.

"I don't think we have a conflict of interest, right? I have a good relationship with Lupine. I have read your files, the records filled in by Dumbledore himself. He is your guardian."

"I think, maybe we can have more cooperation, maybe..."

"Is this a good start?"

In order to show Lockhart's wisdom and set up people, these three chapters have been revised repeatedly until the head explodes. After all, it is very difficult to unfold the virtues of the original book. I hope you will like it.
