A smile slowly appeared from the corner of Link's mouth.

This smile was like the spring breeze blowing across the winter earth, making all the frost on Link's face melt away.

Emily finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw this.

The sudden change that Link showed just now was really scary.

In the entire hall, only Furong still maintained her original dull look.

This is actually a variation of Link's Legilimency Curse.

He combined the Legilimency spell with the energy of Occlumency. By invading the brain, he could enable others to abandon unnecessary emotions within a certain period of time and become calm and rational.

"Tell me carefully, why is Maxim crazy?"

Link asked gently as he helped Fleur up.

Hearing this, Furong trembled instinctively, as if recalling something terrible, and said in panic:

"Link, do you remember that we met in Durmstrang?"

Link nodded, but his eyes involuntarily glanced at Dumbledore.

Coincidentally, Dumbledore was also looking in his direction.

When the two looked at each other, Dumbledore's face looked a little unhappy.

Link has been to Durmstrang?

This is information that Dumbledore has never obtained.

As for what Link was doing in Durmstrang, Dumbledore knew it without asking.

Nothing more than doing the same things he did at Hogwarts.

Seize the position of school director, then install a puppet principal to take control of the entire magic school.

Dumbledore even felt that Link's progress at Durmstrang would be faster than that at Hogwarts, and his depth of control would be more comprehensive.

After all, Durmstrang does not have a headmaster like Dumbledore.

Link, Link, you hide so well!

Dumbledore thought this, but closed his eyes, refusing to continue to look at Link.

Fleur on the other side had no idea that her words exposed Link's arrangement on Durmstrang's side, and continued:

"Actually, the Triwizard Tournament caused a great psychological impact on Principal Maxim. She has never understood why Beauxbatons lost to Hogwarts, and it was so miserable!

Obviously the teaching environment at Beauxbatons is so good, and the stipends given to students are higher than those at Hogwarts.

But it just can't be like Hogwarts, which can continuously output energy and produce a genius wizard who can be called a legendary level. "

While speaking, Fleur glanced at Link with complicated expressions.

Obviously, the genius wizard she was talking about was Link.

It was Link's incomprehensible performance in the Triwizard Tournament that brought Maxim to the verge of collapse.

"So after the Triwizard Tournament ended, Professor Maxim had the idea of ​​reforming Beauxbatons. Initially, her reform idea was to improve the teaching quality of Beauxbatons. She felt that she had There is reason to believe that the reason why the students at Hogwarts are so outstanding is because of the excellent professors. But the problem is that an excellent professor is something you can only meet but cannot find. This cannot be exchanged with money alone. To come, you still need luck. So, he set his sights on Durmstrang.”

Fleur continued, "She wants to take advantage of Durmstrang's internal and external troubles to directly seize control of Durmstrang. Then she will use her power to use various means to make Durmstrang Some outstanding professors from Langzhong left for Beauxbatons, thus improving the quality of teaching at Beauxbatons and changing Beauxbatons' teaching ideas.

At this time, Principal Maxim was actually not too crazy.

At least in the entire process of seeking Durmstrang, she had never used any power other than money and power.

Then, this time, she failed again. "

Link touched his nose and said nothing.

He was the culprit of Maxim's failure.

However, Link felt that even without his presence, it would be difficult for Maxim to conquer Durmstrang.

Whenever another candidate appears among them, Durmstrang's die-hard professors will support that person just as they supported him in the first place.

After all, Maxim's attitude was too arrogant.

This may not matter to others.

Durmstrang die-hards might be happy to show off.

Because they worship the strong.

A raging soldier, and a raging nest.

In their minds, a strong leader can better lead them on a strong path.

Isn't this much better than Karkaroff's pustule?

But the problem is, Maxim is a woman, and a hybrid witch with giant blood.

How can you let the die-hards in Durmstrang accept this?

You must know that Durmstrang is a famous pure-blood magic school throughout Europe!

Its foundation is black.

It was impossible to accept the rule of an arrogant giant half-blood witch.

Furong sighed again and said:

"This failure made Principal Maxim completely crazy. Although she still insisted on her initial reform ideas, her methods became more and more ruthless.

He began to set his sights on the small magic schools around him, and used countless methods including assassination, bribery, and alienation to gain control of them.

The result of this is that small magic schools across Europe have suffered.

They were almost completely destroyed by Principal Maxim's attack!

At the same time, Beauxbatons, who had sucked the blood from these small magic schools, became more and more powerful.

Its student base is becoming larger and larger, and the quality and quantity of its teaching staff are also rising rapidly. "

"Isn't that a good thing?"

Emily frowned and whispered.

She didn't think there was anything wrong with what Maxim did in this matter.

General power expansion often uses some shameful means. This is the case for the Foley family, and the same is true for other families and even organizations.

What Maxim did was just what everyone would do.

Those small magic schools that were devoured did not deserve mercy either.

There may indeed be excellent magic professors among them.

But overall, they are still misleading.

The students who come out of these small magic schools either go down evil paths, or they can only become useless. There is no third possibility.

Therefore, being devoured by Beauxbatons cannot be considered a bad thing.

"Yes, if this is all, it would indeed be a great thing for Beauxbatons. But the problem is, things have just begun..." Fleur said quietly, "The quality of teaching and the number of students have steadily improved. Principal Maxim was very happy. Although Beauxbatons was spending a lot of money to maintain this situation, Principal Maxim felt that as long as the quality of students could rise, even if only Hogwarts' genius output rate If it's less than half, then she will be satisfied.

Unfortunately, Principal Maxim's strategy proved to be wrong.

In a school-wide test half a year ago, the average scores of all grades in Beauxbatons, instead of rising, plummeted by nearly [-] points!

This is a very exaggerated number, so exaggerated that Principal Maxim went completely crazy. "

"Her failure is inevitable." Link shook his head and said, "Even compared to Hogwarts and Durmstrang, two super large magic schools as famous as Beauxbatons, Beauxbatons' The living conditions are also the best, not to mention those small magic schools in remote places.

When professors and students from poor schools enter Beauxbatons, they are like mice falling into a rice vat, and hungry ghosts who have been tortured in hell are suddenly pulled into heaven.

This sudden change in the external environment is unlikely to make them continue to go crazy and strive for strength. On the contrary, it will turn each of them into a worm who is greedy for enjoyment!

This is human nature!Even wizards are no exception! "

"As expected of you, Link, your guess is exactly the same as the conclusion reached by Principal Maxim after the investigation. The professors and students who were raided to Beauxbatons are indeed corrupt. Even this corruption is more The trend has spread, and many of Beauxbatons’ original outstanding professors and students have also been affected by them and have become lazy.”

Fleur said slowly, "But foreseeing in advance and drawing conclusions after investigation are completely different! Professor Maxim, who was unprepared when he learned that all his good intentions were fed to the dogs, even those who benefited from them She went completely crazy after being taken advantage of!"

"What happened next?"

Link asked, unable to help but sit up straighter.

He had a hunch that what Fleur was going to say next would be the key to what they came to France to pursue.

Link trusted his premonition very much, because it was actually a quasi-precognitive ability obtained through Link's soaring mental power.

Fantastic.

After hearing this, Furong closed her eyes in pain and said:

"In the early days of Principal Maxim's plan to annex Durmstrang and other magic schools, Beauxbatons welcomed a new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor. His name was Madero Tomf De Lillo. Professor Lillo is a very young, but very knowledgeable man.

He's always able to approach us from points of view we've never thought of before, providing us with a wealth of truly practical Defense Against the Dark Arts.The most important thing is that Professor Lillo has no airs yet.Compared to the more serious title of Professor Lillo, he preferred to have his students call him Madero.

His excellent teaching quality and approachable personality directly made him the most popular professor in Beauxbatons in a short period of time.Even Principal Maxim favored him. "

"Is this related to what you said before?"

Old Kled frowned and said.

He felt that Fleur was off topic.

"Of course it does matter!" Fleur suddenly said loudly, "Because it was Madero who gave Principal Maxim a proposal when Principal Maxime was frustrated because of the comprehensive corruption of professors and students! He proposed that in Beauxbatons implements a comprehensive teaching plan that combines Hogwarts Headmaster Black’s education and Durmstrang’s Spartan education!”

"I know a lot about Sparta, where the weak eat the strong." Old Krei asked in confusion, "But what the hell is Blake's education?"

As soon as he said this, Dumbledore cast a look of pity on Link and Old Kled.

In his opinion, the head butler of the Foley family is so ignorant and ignorant. This is really...

Link's face was a little confused, and he took a deep breath and explained:

"Phineas Nigellus Black, the great-great-grandfather of Sirius Black. He once served as the headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and during his reign, he always implemented a high-pressure and high-punishment rule. In Hogwarts at that time, there were endless corporal punishment measures against students. If you have been to Filch's office, you will understand.

He still has a collection of torture instruments used to punish students at that time. There are all kinds of fancy things, which are guaranteed to open your eyes.

Students like the Weasley brothers would have been beaten to death long ago during Phileas Black's tenure as headmaster!

Note that the word 'beat to death' here is not an exaggeration.

They will really be beaten to death.

Because Hogwarts at that time had a quota of casualties every year.

As long as the number of student deaths does not exceed this quota, everyone will treat it as nothing happened.

This kind of teaching strategy made the students who came out of Hogwarts become extremely powerful. It was also during that period that the magical world of China reached its highest peak in history. "

"But this teaching method is inhumane!"

Dumbledore stood up and retorted, saying that Link's last words were simply pulling him and Phineas Black away, which he could not accept. "The most valuable thing about us as advanced intelligent creatures is that we have Human nature can be used to resist our own desires. Although Phineas's teaching strategies can effectively improve the quality of students, they will wear away our humanity and return us to the state of beasts.

Indeed, the students during Phineas's period were the most powerful in Europe. This group of students even led the magic world of the Republic of China to conquer most of the magic world in Europe.

But this situation can’t last forever, can it?

In fact, the status of the country's magical community in the international wizarding community has been plummeting since then.

The reason is precisely because although the students during Phineas' period were powerful, they were inhumane.

Most of them have turned into dark wizards and become cancers that disrupt the order of this magical world! "

Link also narrowed his eyes and retorted:

"But what's the use of blindly developing humanity? Professor Dumbledore, don't you think there is any essential difference between you and Phineas Black? In my opinion, aren't both of you gone? Are you an extreme representative figure? The only difference between you is that Phineas Black is an extreme radical and you are an extreme moderate. And history has proven that any extreme strategy will extend Extremely bad consequences will occur! Only inclusiveness is the best solution!"

"So you said all this just to show that you are more correct than any other headmaster in the history of Hogwarts?"

"Isn't it true? I stand on the shoulders of giants and learn from the lessons and experiences of those who came before me. Naturally, I can do even better!"

Dumbledore was silent.

He stared into Link's serious eyes, seemingly unable to find any words to refute Link's point of view.

After a long time, he said with a wry smile:

"Being inclusive is not as easy as you think. It's like a person is blindfolded and walking on a road full of crossroads. In this case, it is almost impossible for you to continue to walk in a straight line steadily. Things. Many leaders in history have tried, but without exception they all deviated from their original path, either to the left or to the right.

Hope you can succeed. "

"Of course I have full confidence in myself and my partners."

Link said expressionlessly, ending the debate with Dumbledore.

At this time, they realized that Emily, Fleur and others around them were all looking at them with incredible eyes.

He was obviously shocked by what just happened.

This left Link and Dumbledore a little overwhelmed.

The current complex relationship between them is far from being explained in a sentence or two, and it is not something people like Emily and Fleur should know.

At this time, Old Kled showed his outstanding qualities that made him the butler of the Foley family.

He coughed twice and quickly changed the subject:

"So, that guy named Madero actually proposed that Beauxbatons switch to a more rigorous teaching plan?"

"This is indeed the case in general, but on a detailed level, there is still a big difference." Fleur sighed, and then said, "In fact, the core point of Madero's proposal is - differentiated treatment.

He adopted the extremely strict education of Principal Black, and also adopted the Durmstrang-style Spartan system of the weak and the strong.

The result of the combination of the two is that a small number of talented students and professors receive higher salaries and grants, better living conditions, and better performance through monthly tests and regular studies. The privileges of low-level students and even professors can be punished at will.

In contrast, students who have poor grades and are not good at maneuvering are deprived of most of their survival resources.

Even they themselves have become slaves to other outstanding students! "

"This is really... I'm sorry, I really don't know how to describe it." Link shook his head and said, "I can only say that his proposal was a bit too much. He almost pushed the reward and punishment mechanism to the limit. To the extreme, it is hard for me to imagine how bad the students trained in this way would be. Not to mention me, I am afraid that even Phineas Black would not be able to stand such a vicious education method. .”

Dumbledore also nodded and said:

"Indeed, their set of ideas is essentially consistent with the set of competitive ideas you implemented at Hogwarts. But your execution and scale are very good, so as to achieve the goal without affecting the nature of the students. , the result of which students began to compete with their consciences.

But it is undeniable that such an extreme approach will be much more efficient in simply improving students' performance and strength than the one at Hogwarts.

After all, the rewards they gave out were really amazing. "

"That's why I ask you to help rescue Gabrielle." Fleur said with a pale face, "Gabriel...she has been deeply trapped in it and can't extricate herself!"
