"New students and parents, all get off the bus."
Tony's deliberately louder voice spread throughout all the carriages.
The parents opened the car door and walked out.
The carriage stopped on a dark, damp meadow in the shadow of the castle.
They raised their heads and took a close look at this magnificent castle complex.
Qualified people who enter Hogwarts range from the lowest peasants to those from the middle and upper classes.
The selection threshold only depends on whether you have qualifications.
Therefore, some of these parents have actually seen or even lived in the castle.
But no matter what kind of people they are, they have never seen such a magnificent castle complex in their lives.
Perhaps, the palace is nothing more than this.
Among these people, there was actually a person who lived in the palace.
That is, Isabel, who is standing at the end of the crowd and has not been noticed by anyone, and her sister, Eugenia, standing next to her.
She was also watching all this in a daze, "Is this where you lived during the years you were missing?"
"No, but it's close," Isabel said.
"No wonder you are reluctant to come back." Eugenia muttered, "This looks much more comfortable than the palace, without all the troubles.
Your illegitimate son also lives here, right? "
Isabel was stunned, "What?"
"Arthur." Eugenia said matter-of-factly, "You don't think I really believe what you said, do you want me to be my father's son? If he was really my father's son, would he hide it from us for so long?
The time was just right as I thought. If I hadn't been smart, I would have been deceived by you. Does that child's height and abilities look like those of a thirteen or fourteen year old?
You are in your thirties, so you are old enough.
Speaking of which, more than ten years ago, before your mother passed away, you seemed to have been missing for a whole year.
She must be giving birth, right? "
Every time Eugenia said something, the tic-tac-toe on Isabel's forehead became more obvious. She resisted the urge to throw Eugenia off the island and forced a smile.
"You are so smart."
"Of course." Eugenia said proudly, raising her head, seemingly not noticing Isabel's mood at the moment.
She asked curiously, "Is your wild man here too?"
She looked at Tony standing on the stone steps, "Is this it?"
After a pause, she shook her head, "This man looks too frivolous and doesn't seem like something you would like. You should like guys who look serious and intelligent."
She took out the admission notice from her body and looked at it.
"Or is it this guy named Merlin?"
"That's Alicia's," Isabel said.
Eugenia opened her eyes in surprise, "Is this the reason why Alicia has been missing for three years?"
"It's not the main reason, but she has been with him for the past three years." Isabel said.
"Tsk, tsk." Eugenia sighed a little, "I didn't expect that. Among the three of us, she is the most obedient.
Speaking of which, I thought she wasn't interested in men.
There were many men pursuing her in the imperial capital. Although Ernst was not very smart, he was handsome and had a high status.
And it wasn't obvious at that time that he was mentally ill.
But she still looks aloof and should not be approached by strangers. "
"It's just boring," Isabel said.
Eugenia raised her eyebrows. She never thought that this word would appear in her sister.
"It looks like she's had some interesting changes."
While they were communicating, Tony stood upright at the top of the stairs, quietly watching the people present.
"First of all, welcome to Hogwarts," Tony said, "My name is Tony Stark, and you should be familiar with this name.
Because it is written on your admission notice, I temporarily serve as the vice principal of this school and at the same time serve as your alchemy and flying class teacher.
The back-to-school banquet is about to begin. After enjoying the banquet, if parents are in a hurry, you can take the train and leave.
The process is the same as the journey you took here. Wherever you come from, just open the door of the tavern.
Of course, you can also stay in the castle for one night, check out the school's accommodation, and leave the next morning.
Of course, the most important thing is. "
Tony's words paused.
"According to Merlin's First Agreement, the magical world is not allowed to be exposed to No-Majs."
No-Maj means "No Magic" a person who does not know magic.
“Your children will enter this world in the future, so as guardians, you are qualified to know.
However, it only stops there.
Everything that happens here, including what happens to your children, is not allowed to be disclosed to other people who do not know magic.
This is a very important agreement. We have special magic to monitor it. If it is violated, you will be punished. "
The group of people below nodded solemnly.
"Of course, if you are unwilling to abide by the rules of the magical world, you can leave directly and we will delete your memory." Tony said.
But obviously, there should be no fool among those present to choose to give up this opportunity.
Tony nodded and continued.
"Before the banquet begins, a sorting ceremony needs to be performed. Sorting is a very important ceremony, because while you are in school, the college is your home in Hogwarts."
“You will attend classes on campus with other students from the College, live together in College Halls of Residence, and spend your free time in the College Common Room.
The school was initially divided into four colleges.
There is no distinction between colleges and universities, but the focus of study is different.
The first is the Druid Academy. As the name suggests, it focuses on the teaching of Ogham magic writing in the Druid department. It is suitable for students who like nature and animals.
In addition to basic Ogham writing classes, it also involves animal transformation classes, pharmacy classes, animal communication classes, plant classes, etc. "
After a pause, Tony's eyelids closed slightly, "It's worth mentioning that the dean and vice-dean of Druid College are both beautiful women."
The students and parents below will all smile.
“Next, there’s Merlin Academy, where you mainly learn mainstream spell magic. The advantage is that it has strong versatility and can be used in daily life and combat.
And at the same time, the characteristic of Merlin Academy is that you need to practice magic swordsmanship, which has miraculous effects in actual combat.
People at Merlin College need to believe in bravery, vitality and chivalry.
The dean is concurrently served by Principal Mei Lin.
Then there is the college of which I am president, Morgan College. "
Morgan Stark is the name of Tony's daughter.
He looked at everyone present, "I only have one admission requirement, and that is intelligence. Our subjects are mainly based on the alchemy system, and we need to learn a lot of knowledge.
Want to learn how to turn stone into gold and create artificial humans?
Come to my academy if you want. "
"What about the last academy?" Gayward asked.
"The last academy," Tony paused, "is called Black Academy. The students it recruits are ambitious, shrewd, honorable, size up the situation, be prudent and protective, and win first.
He also practices mainstream magic, featuring jinxes, poison spells and curses under the black magic system.
It needs to be mentioned here that there is nothing evil about magic, only the people who use it are evil.
Every spell has its own meaning, and so does black magic.
Compared with white magic, black magic has more powerful lethality, which will give it more advantages in battle. "
Black means "black", which means black, so it is completely okay to call this academy directly the Academy of Black Magic.
"This academy only recruits egoists, but it specializes in teaching them black magic. Isn't this training villains?" one of them complained.
Tony turned his head and glanced at him, and he shrank back with a smile.
"It's not about teaching black magic to such students, it's about teaching black magic to such students." Tony said, "In the world of magic, it's not just people who choose magic to use, magic also chooses people."
The group nodded.
"Of course." Tony continued, "Although each college has different major subjects, you can still learn knowledge in other subjects through electives.
If you are smart enough and talented enough, you can learn all the knowledge in the four academies. "
After a pause, Tony said slightly mysteriously, "The dean of Black Academy is a very mysterious magician, and he is also very lonely. He usually does not participate in other activities of the school, and only participates in teaching. Appear.
But he is a powerful magician no less powerful than Merlin. "
In fact, Char also took on the role, but it was the other "half" that Char had mentioned to Albus before.
In the future, all the blame for dirty and dirty work will be thrown to him, so in fact, this vest can also be called "the evil of this world" or "the blame of this world".
Xia Ya is currently studying some clone-type magic, which allows him to fish while ensuring the quality of teaching. It should be effective soon.
"In short, the choices are savages, brainless fools, nerds and bad guys." Gayward murmured in a low voice, thoughts flowing in his mind.
Ebbs obviously heard it too, and twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "It seems like nothing is wrong."
Tony's words continued.
“Your excellent performance during your studies will add points to your college, and any violation of regulations will result in deductions. The college with the highest score at the end of the year will receive the College Cup, which is a very high honor.
I hope that no matter which house you are assigned to, you can bring glory to your respective house instead of being naughty and mischievous all day long. "
Tony's last few words were long-winded, and he looked at Gayward after speaking.
"I'm talking about you. Didn't your parents tell you to keep quiet when your elders lecture you?"
The two of them immediately closed their mouths and lowered their heads to avoid Tony's gaze.
Some students who were also talking in a low voice quickly closed their mouths after seeing that they were caught. There was silence for a while.
Tony glanced at everyone present, nodded with satisfaction, turned around and opened the door.
"Come with me."
Zhiya~
As the door opened, a stone staircase was revealed that led directly to the upper floor. The surrounding stone walls were covered with blazing torches, and the ceiling was almost invisible.
The flickering fire light flickers on and off, and the end of the stairs is pitch black, making people feel as if they have entered an ancient vampire castle.
Except for the sound of their footsteps, the entire staircase was silent.
They walked through the foyer, passed a double door, and entered a hall.
There were four rectangular tables in the hall, with shining gold plates and goblets on them.
There is another long table on the table at the top of the hall, which is where the teachers sit. There is no one on it at the moment.
The most surprising thing is the starry sky-like roof above.
Although Tony has always complained that this is the starry sky roof of Rolls-Royce, it is undeniable that this spectacle of stars flowing around has a great visual impact on people of this era.
People interacted with each other excitedly. Although the sound was not loud, there were hundreds of people here. If everyone was talking, the hall would be a bit noisy.
"Quiet!" Tony scolded loudly, and everyone quickly fell silent.
"Please find a seat and sit down," Tony said.
These parents and students followed Tony's words and found a seat to sit down respectively. However, even so, they could not hide their excitement and continued to lower their voices to communicate.
"Which college are you going to choose?"
"I'm sure Merlin Academy. The principal who is also the dean must be the most powerful, and he can also learn magic swordsmanship. How handsome."
"I prefer animals and hope to go to Druid College."
"Speaking of which, how does this school select colleges? Is it self-selection or teacher selection?"
The low sound of communication only became quiet when Tony's voice came.
"Teachers please come in!"
As his words fell, there was silence in the hall, and people subconsciously looked at the small door on the side of the high platform.
The first person to come in was a dwarf. The school required many courses, and it was obviously impossible to do it with just a few people, so Char still hired some people from the Fairy Country.
For example, this dwarf, named Jim Bronzebeard, has long fiery red hair and a thick beard, and his beard is tied into a Viking braid.
He is a good friend of Calcifer, and Char's main purpose of inviting him to the school is to forge swords for the students of Merlin Academy, and also to teach forging techniques.
Then there was an elf named Rowling.
Queen Titania's bodyguard, she was the one who led Shaya for them when they first went to the palace.
Char originally wanted to invite Queen Titania, but she didn't agree, but still sent her bodyguard.
As she appeared on the stage, everyone's eyes widened slightly.
The long, smooth golden hair, the delicate and beautiful face, and the pointed and long ears, this iconic appearance...
It's an elf!
The legendary elf!
It was the first time they saw an inhuman creature similar to humans. At this moment, these children were no less excited than when they saw Sky Island for the first time. They were chattering very noisily.
"Ahem, be quiet!"
Tony coughed twice and yelled loudly.
But what really silenced the hall was the appearance of another person.
A woman wearing a black silk skirt walked calmly towards the high platform from a small door on one side. The skirt was decorated with lace and satin trims. She wore a pair of black suede boots with elastic straps on the sides and a lace shawl. .
She didn't seem to be wearing any makeup, but simply outlined her red lips with lipstick. Her smooth silver hair was tied up, and some exquisite and luxurious hair accessories were inserted, revealing a pair of exquisite and luxurious ruby pendants, showing her nobility. .
Like a blooming Christmas rose on a snow-capped mountain, it is cold and noble.
Roses cannot survive on snowy mountains, so they are such a dreamy and incredible existence.
Alicia covered half of her face with a mask on the day of the banquet. At that time, Xia Ya felt that it had a kind of incomplete beauty like a Venus detached arm.
But now Xia Ya knows that that is pure nonsense, because Alicia is a bit more beautiful now than she was then.
Even if there were Elf Pearls in front of them, people had no intention of admiring the beauty of the Elf at this moment. Their eyes were all focused on Alicia, but they did not dare to look more, for fear that they would not be able to look away.
Her appearance took the breath away from everyone present.
Even if Isabel entered the scene later, no one noticed.
When people came to their senses, there were only two seats left on the teacher's bench, one of which was the middle seat.
That location is particularly special, even the chairs are custom-made, with many reliefs and magic runes, like a throne.
Tony is the vice principal, so he must be one of the positions, so isn't that the only one left?
Russell's mind recalled the name he saw on the invitation, and then recalled the legend called "The Legend of King Arthur".
Arthur's name spread throughout Europe as early as when he led his troops to defeat the Western French coalition.
Most people know the legend about him, so many people in Europe have a copy of the legend of King Arthur.
If you ask them who the king of their country is, they may not know.
But if you ask them who is Arthur and who is Merlin, then basically everyone can tell the truth.
Many people also silently took out the invitation and looked at the names on it, with thoughts flowing in their eyes. Obviously, they had the same idea as Russell.
Everyone turned their attention to the gate on the side of the high platform.
Amid people's stagnant breathing, a staff first appeared in their sights
