Chapter 40 There Will Be No Good End for Naughty Children
"I see. I understand what you're thinking."
Looking across the parchment filled with numbers and charts scattered on the bed, Dumbledore rubbed his forehead tiredly and let out a heartfelt sigh.
"Is this arithmetic divination developed by Muggles?"
After understanding all of Elena's plans, the old wizard suddenly had a hint of respect on his face, not only for Elena, but also for the people in the other world who were exploring the realm of God like the wizard.
Just now, Elena, who woke up, fully explained for the first time the force majeure situation regarding the collapse of the ruble and the inherent weakness of the Soviet Union's constitution, as well as the way Hogwarts used the rules to reasonably seize huge wealth.
Although she was only in the Slytherin dormitory on the lower floor of Hogwarts Castle, the girl's mind seemed to be above the dome, combining all kinds of seemingly unrelated information in an imaginative way.
Through a large number of meaningless numbers superimposed on each other, from the British Isles to the American continent on the other side of the ocean, from the calm after the loud noise in 1945 to the undercurrent in 1991, they circled like precise gears. Linked to each other, it is as sure as a prophecy to deduce the great changes that are about to happen - no, it is even more terrifying than the prophecy, as if a superior god is moving the chess pieces, making people feel powerless.
From the moment the gold Galleons were transported into Hogwarts Castle, they didn't need to do anything else. Unlike any previous plans and plans, this is an event that starts directly from the results, and you only need to wait for time to finish the follow-up.
"Arithmetic? No, we call it science. Or rather, scientific deduction."
Elena shook her head slightly, explained in a hoarse voice, and the light in her eyes was particularly bright.
The most essential difference between the magical world and the non-magical world is not the level of economic system or technological power, but the difference in social thinking between the two. There may be artificial barriers between magic and non-magic, but science and magic are not opposites and equivalents from the beginning.
Ordinary people have a narrower vision than wizards from the beginning, but this is not a reason to hinder their understanding of the world.
Science is the way non-magical humans understand the world. All the magic that seems incredible is just unexplainable by today's technological level.
In Elena's view, as long as it can be observed, it can be studied; as long as it can be studied, it can be influenced; as long as it can be influenced, it can be dominated and controlled - no matter which world it is, this is a universal basic law.
"But, have you ever thought that whether it is science or arithmetic divination, there will always be accidents. What if it fails? Hogwarts may cease to exist because of your reckless behavior. Faced with the worst case scenario, what are you thinking?"
Dumbledore stretched out his hand, carefully put away the manuscript papers scattered on the girl's bed, and asked the last question.
This is also the point that puzzles him the most: according to the oath, once Elena does such a behavior, it is equivalent to putting Hogwarts in crisis. Before the final result comes, to a certain extent, no matter what, An early warning that triggers the Unbreakable Vow.
"The worst case scenario? Then just hand over the castle to the goblins, and then find a way to get another loan... The goblins will never be able to destroy or harm Hogwarts from the beginning."
Elena stretched and replied nonchalantly.
The girl patted the soft bed beneath her, lifted the quilt and got out of the bed, walked to the mirror in front of the window, and while arranging her hair, she spoke softly in a relaxed tone.
"Professor Dumbledore, let me ask you, when did Hogwarts disappear? Did the ownership of the castle no longer belong to us? No. Did the knowledge we imparted change? No. It was the Ministry of Magic or someone else. The organization forcefully installs a principal or teacher? Of course not! But when Hogwarts no longer trains and educates young wizards."
Elena turned around, her white little toes playfully pulling on the thick and warm wool carpet, her lake-blue eyes looked at the magical lake bottom scenery outside the lounge, and she said with a gentle smile.
"Even if Hogwarts is destroyed by war, the entire castle is razed to the ground, the Forbidden Forest no longer exists, and the lake dries up and turns into a pit. As long as there are enough financial resources and manpower, Hogwarts can continue to pass on knowledge. Even if magic The world has disappeared, and as long as human civilization still exists, Hogwarts will never disappear."
"Besides, if we really can't repay the money, the goblins will be the most anxious party. In order to prevent this loan from becoming a bad debt, they will do whatever it takes to help Hogwarts continue in the longer term— —Mortgage Hogwarts to obtain a loan has always been a means, not an end."
Elena winked playfully and said proudly.
"How about it, Professor Dumbledore, do you think I'm very powerful? There is a Muggle word you can learn about, which is called lying down. It is very suitable to describe the current situation."
The silver-haired little loli happily raised her fingers and shook them, revealing a pair of cute little tiger teeth. Her delicate little face seemed to have "Come and praise me!" written all over it! Come and praise me! ] expression.
"It is indeed a surprising and genius idea. I have no doubts about this matter, and we will try our best to cooperate with your ideas in the future."
Dumbledore clapped lightly, nodded approvingly, and said softly with a smile, "Next, I think there are some other small issues that need to be discussed..."
The old wizard glanced at Elena, whose tail was almost raised to the sky, and his voice became warmer.
"——About taking the Hogwarts title deed from the principal's office without permission, and signing important contracts under the pretense of being authorized by the principal."
"Eh?!"
Elena's happy little face froze slightly, and a piece of uncombed silver hair on her head suddenly bounced up. Why did the atmosphere seem a little wrong?
"By the way, what time is it now? I haven't sent a letter to Benitez's father to say he's safe. He must be anxious."
The silver-haired little loli hammered her palms anxiously, stepped on her small leather shoes, and ran quickly to the door of the Slytherin lounge while muttering loudly to herself.
Looking at Elena who was suddenly panicking, Dumbledore had a smile in his eyes. He slowly took out the wand from his long sleeve and tapped it forward.
(→→)つ—☆......【Everything Petrochemical】
Elena felt her whole body stiffen, and before she could fall to the ground, her whole body flew into the air, and finally landed on the soft big bed in the dormitory.
"Professor Dumbledore, you actually cast a spell on a child who has never been to school! I must report you to the Ministry of Magic! You, a powerful wizard, actually tortured a child with magic. Where is your conscience?!"
Feeling that danger was approaching, the petrified little silver-haired Loli loudly condemned and purred like a kitten. She had an ominous premonition.
"Sorry, please be considerate of a little bit of cheating by an old man with handicapped legs and feet. I will not cast any more spells."
In Elena's peripheral vision, the silver-haired and long-bearded Dumbledore put away his wand calmly, walked slowly to her side, and spoke slowly with a smile.
"According to Mr. Benitez, there is a relatively primitive Muggle education method, which is usually more effective in helping naughty children like Miss Elena realize their mistakes."
As he spoke, Dumbledore rolled up the sleeves of his left and right arms, sat on the edge of the bed, picked up Elena and placed her on his knees.
"wait wait wait……"
Seeing Dumbledore rolling up his sleeves and raising his arms high, the silver-haired little loli instantly realized the fate that was about to come to her, and she shook her head and struggled hard.
"Help, I killed someone, Dumbledore became a dark wizard..."
Snapped!
"ah!"
Tuk, Tuk, Tuk...
At this moment, there was a rhythmic knocking on the door of the dormitory and the lounge, and the voice of the house elf Burley floated in from outside.
"Professor Dumbledore, I have brought Mr. Benitez to the door."
Before he could finish speaking, the dormitory door was pushed open by Benitez.
"Elena, are you okay?" The man rushed in with an anxious look on his face. He couldn't help but froze when he saw the scene in front of him, and asked with some hesitation, "Um, Professor Dumbledore, what are you doing?"
"Dad, save me, save me!"
Finally waiting for the savior, the silver-haired little loli was so excited that she almost cried. The old wizard's bony palm spanked her butt, which was so painful!
"I just learned that Miss Elena mortgaged the school this morning."
Dumbledore raised his head and explained calmly, as if something very ordinary had happened.
“You mortgaged the school before school started?!”
Benitez felt dizzy, and he finally knew what big thing Elena was talking about.
"I understand, now leave Elena to me."
After pondering for a few seconds, Benitez nodded. Before the smile on the girl's face could rise, he added in a deep voice.
"I'm strong, so it's easier for her to remember when I hit her."
Why? ! Hey hey hey? !
Elena's eyes widened for a moment, the script shouldn't be like this, she is the hero! She is the cutest and caring little cotton-padded jacket!
"Wait a minute, I'm doing this all for the good of the school. I haven't embezzled a penny..."
Snapped!
"Let me go. I realize my mistake. I promise there will be no next time..."
Snapped!
"Professor Dumbledore, you clearly swore to protect me..."
Snapped!
"Ouch! Ouch, ugh, ugh, ugh... you are bullying people!"
Snapped! Snapped! Snapped……

It’s still a big chapter of 3,000 words, so please vote for it.
I originally wanted to fast forward and get on the train directly, but after thinking about it, I decided to put it in Chapter 41. Because on the one hand, the Gringotts-Ruble plan needs to be explained. Generally speaking, as long as the goblins keep their promises, they will only make a small profit instead of suffering a loss.
On the other hand, naughty children still need to be educated. Even if the results are good, they still deserve a beating.
I ate my food, and then I tried my best to code out one more chapter today...save it, save it?
The food reserve was actually watching the show and he didn't come to help, so he just ate it.
