HP's Foreign Land

After the old and the young met, they went straight to the clock tower. Professor Katenen didn't tell Heimdall any other place names. Heimdall naturally connected the meeting with the principal with the principal's office.But he was wrong.Although the clock tower is still the same clock tower, the former and current do not need to be in the same room.Durmstrang is quite open-minded in this matter. The incumbent has the incumbent's approach, and the ex has the pursuit of the ex. It is enough to be depressing to listen to a dead man pointing fingers at him. 32 people show their faces together, and the effect is that Pretty amazing.

Therefore.

Occasionally meeting on the basis of mutual respect, mutual trust, and mutual understanding, the possibility of being scolded and obedient to the living incumbent is minimized, such as the body of Igor Karkarov and his like" It is better for those who are "weak" to be less stimulated.

No matter what, the one whose life is still alive is the biggest.

Climbing up the spiral stone stairs to the highest floor, you can see three landscape pictures of Durmstrang Castle hanging side by side as soon as you look up. A thriving and prosperous spring scene.

Professor Katenen turned a corner in front of the painting, not intending to "seek spring", so Heimdall naturally obediently followed and parted ways with Spring.

They walked towards the huge hanging clock.

Heimdall was surprised to find that there was a narrow path next to the big clock, and he came here more than once and never noticed it.In fact, there is nothing surprising about this.This path is usually half covered by the big clock, and the designer placed the entrance in a blind spot in the field of vision. Most of the people who visit the principal are teachers and students of the school, even people from other schools Who would find another way on a whim, not to mention the accompanying personnel of Durmstrang's side watching over him.

Suddenly, the copper bell in front of him tilted up in a frozen shape after being swung and then suddenly pressed the pause button. Tongyou Xiaolu was no longer Tongyou Xiaolu, but suddenly became Tongyou Avenue. "The voices sounded one after another, and the Tongyou Avenue became a brightly lit Xiangyang Avenue in the blink of an eye.The two rows of torches on the left and right stone walls formed two bright golden chains, much brighter than the cloudy sky outside.

Professor Katenen smiled at Heimdall, and took the lead into Xiangyang Avenue.Heimdall stopped after walking behind him for a short while, because at the end, the top of the avenue was neither a portrait nor a landscape painting, but a sculpture that was ready to come out, with a big mouth slightly opened and tongue half stuck out giant toad.

The gray stone toad's big head tilts down slightly when its limbs touch the ground, showing a posture of preparation before jumping. It is full of movement and seems to come alive immediately. A pair of protruding big eyes are as divine as a frog. Mo Kai was extremely powerful.

Heimdall figured he wouldn't be surprised if it croaked suddenly.

Kattenen said in correct German: "If you don't understand, pretend to understand forever."

The big stone guy jumped to the left with a "croak" of his tongue, and the black hole appeared in front of the two of them.

It wasn't until Professor Katenen got into the hole that Heimdall came back to his senses, and asked uncertainly, "Was that the password just now?"

Professor Katenin poked his head out of the hole with a laugh: "Principals have to change a new password every month, and this month happens to be Ferdinand's turn. By the way, they like to compare each other to see whose password is more connotative and more convoluted. It's even harder to remember, and I always enjoy it."

The dead have entertainment too?So he was going through the back door?Heimdall pouted secretly.

You can't see your fingers in the cave, and a white light source the size of a ping-pong ball can be seen with the naked eye far above your head, which is the only light source in the cave.The milky white circular light spot illuminates a small piece of the way forward under the feet. You can see a few stairs going up. The stairs are not wide enough for one person to walk. Professor Jenin moved slowly.I couldn't see the direction of progress, and the retreat behind me returned to the darkness one by one.

At this moment, the square inch of land you are in is your whole world.

Heimdall suddenly felt like he was about to ascend to heaven...

This can't be Nantianmen, can it? !A certain boy couldn't help fantasizing about it.

When the old and the young finally touch the "spotlight", the road to ascension to heaven has come to an end, and the Nantian Gate is of course impossible to appear. What comes into view is the destination of this visit - the gallery of past principals.

A very bizarre space, the entire cylindrical gallery is suspended in the air.

In fact, it is not appropriate to say that it is floating in midair. The reason why Heimdall feels dizzy for a moment is because the entire principal's gallery cannot see the ground.Except where the two of them stood, that is, where they entered the door, there was a gray rock protruding out about one meter, and there was nothing in front of it, only endless darkness, and there was no so-called ground at all, let alone the floor.A 1.5-meter-wide suspension bridge composed of countless colorful books floats unsteadily above the darkness and connects the entire room. It is also the only path in the room that can be walked by living people, if it can be counted as a road.On the left and right sides of the book bridge are high walls hanging portraits of past principals. The light source of the gallery comes from the ceiling, and the endless vast starry sky emits a bright and soft light.

Heimdall quickly scanned around, and found a T-shaped podium at the opposite end of the pontoon bridge, a book with a black cover was spread out on it, and a black quill was writing rapidly on the blank pages.

Behind the T-shaped podium are two rows of half-height golden letters, which are Russian and German respectively. The combination of shiny letters forms Durmstrang College, which upholds the school motto that has been carried forward for nearly a thousand years: a person has only one destiny. The moment the old and the young appeared in the gallery, the principals who were talking to each other stopped speaking and looked towards the entrance. The black quill stopped abruptly, and there was a long silence in the gallery.

【Oh, child, come here quickly. 】One of the portraits screamed excitedly, and waved to Heimdall with a smile on his face.

A portrait on the opposite wall suddenly raised an alarm: [Pei Dinan, you fouled! 】

As the sharp reprimand fell to the end, the paused quill began to move again, and then quickly stopped again.

Heimdall understood a little bit, that pen was like the court recorder, dutifully recording every word and every sentence the principals said.

Do you need to memorize the words of the dead?Isn't it said that the living are the most important?Heimdall feels that the school's sense of respect for the elderly is very detached.

"Come on." Professor Katenen took Heimdall's hand and walked up the wobbly book bridge. It was completely different from the worrying appearance, and his feet were very stable on it, as solid and hard as walking on flat ground.

【It's you Katenin again! ] One of the headmasters growled as they passed a portrait. 【You hypocrite!Cunning, vile and shameless!I said a long time ago that I shouldn't have agreed to let you--] Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Pei Dinan's cold snort: [You still call yourself a gentleman, is poking the spine the demeanor and demeanor that a gentleman should have?People are what I want to see, and they come to me if there is anything, jumping on such a trivial matter, as ridiculous as a street shrew. 】The principal slapped the table and threw the stool in the portrait, as if he was about to rush out and fight Ferdinand desperately.

Almost every headmaster has heard the news and started playing tricks. No one is willing to buy into anyone. The formation is mainly divided into two groups. There are those who support Pei Dinan and those who are against it. There are also one or two people who fish in troubled waters. Twice for a while, and then help the other side to drink twice.

This is the great pioneers in the legend who went forward and carried forward the past and ushered in the future?Heimdall was completely dumbfounded, his ears buzzing.No wonder it is called "the king does not see the king". When you see it, you will checkmate.Look, the consequences are so dire. Even if they are "generals", the king still can't see the king. When dozens of kings are put together, it becomes a quarrel with four uncles and eight fathers.

Although he was a good friend of President Pei Dinan, Professor Katenen, as the current honorary president, is duty-bound to try his best to persuade people to settle the matter. Unfortunately, the 32 presidents scolded each other like a tidal wave of the Qiantang River. Poor Professor Katenen is weak. Soon it was swept into the bottom by the tide of sound.

[Get out of the way! 】

A portrait was blocked by Heimdall so that we could not see the quarreling object opposite. In the painting, the headmaster wearing a top hat and wearing a gorgeous robe with high robe corners stepped on a chair and stomped fiercely, not much different from a hooligan. Heimdall dodged immediately, and he didn't back away, so he got one or two straight back to the podium at the end of the suspension bridge.

The black quill pen is recording the words of the principals verbatim, which is as complete and quick as the simultaneous subtitles on the live broadcast screen.

Heimdall patiently waited aside, while Principal Ferdinand was scolding in full swing, apparently unable to remember him for a while.Just when Heimdall was thinking about sneaking out, a voice came into his ears. The voice should speak at an ordinary speed, not as hoarse as the background music, which is very different.

Heimdall was no stranger to this distinctive voice. Heimdall looked to the right, and there was a portrait of Jolf hanging there, separated from the principal in front of him.In the painting, Jolf is watching Heimdall with a smile.

"Just get used to it?" Heimdall disagreed, with a fearful expression on his face. "It's good to experience some things once in a lifetime, and you can't be too greedy."

[Don't just look at the appearance, the dead welcome the visit of the living, no matter whether he is in the cemetery or in the portrait. 】Heimdall was startled for a moment, this voice... He looked to the right.

In the portrait, there is a man with gray hair and a young face, with his hands crossed on his knees and his body leaning against the back of the chair. The force of his fingers is as strong as a wire. Even though he didn't say a word other than the previous sentence, Heimdall seemed to hear the sound of blood rushing in his veins.

The flying eagle pendant in the painting is exactly the same as the one in memory.

At that moment, Heimdall's hairs stood on end.

【good afternoon. ] The man said that his voice was very educated, but a simple greeting was like pushing a chair for a lady before dining.

Heimdall backed away abruptly.

The man laughed, his ocher purple pupils reflected strange red highlights, burning like two flames in his eyes.

【You scared him. 】Jolph's voice is like the sound of heaven, saving Heimdall from the overwhelming horror.

"It seems that you have already met." Professor Katenen let out a sigh of relief while wiping the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief.

[I saw it some time ago. ] Yolf told Katenen. [In the old house of Sturluson. 】Professor Katenen nodded. Since Rommel has adopted this child, it is right for his ancestors to see him when he goes back.Professor Katenen suddenly realized, no wonder the child was calm from beginning to end, and was not frightened by these old people. It turned out that he had such experience.There have been students who were scared to cry and fainted because of this.

Professor Katenen thinks highly of Heimdall, he is calm and frightened, especially when he sees someone in his dream, he gets goosebumps, and the top of the sky is cold , I really want to run away.He's just pretending to be normal.In terms of acting skills, although Rigg, who has gone through two generations, is not at the Oscar level, at least he is at the film festival level.

The principals who have nothing to do are still bombarding each other, attacking each other, and turning over old scores behind them. Dead people are good at this, and they have endless time and energy.

Heimdall glanced at it, and then told himself not to expect Principal Ferdinand to remember him today.

I should go home immediately.

"Have you introduced each other?" Katenin said to the white-haired man.

The man shakes his head.

"It's an honor." It can be seen that Professor Katenen respects men very much. "The name of Heimdall Strulusson should be familiar to you." Katenin bowed at the portrait and then turned to Heimdall, "This is Ivan Vasilyevich, Durmstrang No. .17 headmasters and first headmaster emeritus."

Heimdall thought suspiciously, why is he both the principal and the honorary principal?Could it be said that both of them could be used concurrently in the past?

[Have you read the student handbook? ] Vasilyevich said.

Heimdall was taken aback. When Professor Katenen looked at him, he knew he had to answer: "I have read it."

【how do you feel?Tell me about your first impressions. 】

"It's the kind of thing that tells people to behave."

[It's too bad, it's still so disgusting after hundreds of years. 】

Professor Katenin touched his nose and pretended not to hear.

Heimdall didn't know how to interface.

【Are they still restricting the reading rights of teachers and students? 】

Who are they?

But this question does not require Heimdall to answer. Professor Katenen said helplessly: "Mr. Principal, this is one of the responsibilities of the Education Committee. The things you encourage students to see have exceeded the minimum standard of good and evil. Whether it's 500 years ago or 500 years from now."

[So it turns out, the Magicians Union is still doing nothing. 】

Professor Katenin shrugged and closed his mouth.

"Mr. Headmaster, I think if you—"

[Don't do this, it's stupid. 】

Heimdall stared at him inexplicably, his legs stopped shaking, his hair didn't stand up, he just felt annoyed that these undead guys were wasting his time!

[When others continue to deepen a topic, don't interrupt abruptly, especially if your new topic is not a continuation of the old topic.It is a very bad habit to change the subject in a hurry and want to bring the center to yourself. This will cause the entire friendly conversation atmosphere to fall apart, and then everyone rushes to end the topic, and finally break up. ] Vasilyevich said with a smile. ['This old bastard is wasting my time' Am I right?Rig? 】Heimdall looked at him bravely: "Your observation ability is really amazing."

[This is a subject that everyone must study for a lifetime.Ferdinand has no time to see you today, so go home, little Rig. ] Vasilyevich said softly, almost inaudibly.

The way back seemed to be shorter than before. When Heimdall's feet creaked the snow, the clock tower was gradually blurred behind the flying snowflakes, covered by the towering atrium of ancient trees.

"Principal Vasilyevich can easily make others look pale and invisible in front of him. He is a terrifying person." Heimdall let out a long breath.

Professor Katenen nodded, "Many people think so, dead and alive without exception."
