The next day.

Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

Durmstrang around Christmas is in the most terrifying part of the year.

The cold wind and heavy snow here are enough to drown all life in the cold wave.

So generally speaking, Durmstrang during this period would choose to take a long vacation.

Even those who have to stay in the school for some reason will be closed in the school to avoid the danger brought by the cold wave.

Today, however, a large number of Durmstrang students, led by their current principal, Professor Beckman, came to the huge lake at the rear of the castle, one by one, wearing thick coats and facing the cold wind.

This is actually an outlet to the sea.

It is also Durmstrang's only entrance to the outside world.

Anyone who wanted to enter Durmstrang by physical means other than water would be blocked by the surrounding mountains and bad weather.

This difficulty of passage will be magnified countless times in winter.

Because just like what the students saw, the huge lake in front of them, together with the huge ghost ship they docked in the lake, was completely frozen under the polar ice.

If you want to change to normal, from time to time someone will put on knife boots and run to the ice to skate and play.

After all, this is one of the rare outdoor sports that Durmstrang can do in winter.

So even if the school explicitly forbids it, everyone is happy.

But today is different.

Everyone gathered on the shore of the mountain, rubbing their hands, breathing heavily, and looking at the frozen estuary of the lake in the distance.

In such a bad environment, not only did the students not complain, on the contrary, their eyes flashed with anticipation.

And the professors standing at the front of their team were even more excited.

They yelled at the students over and over again, asking them to keep their attire, and asking them to stand up straight and not hunched over.

This state lasted for a long time, until the icy sun moved to the position above everyone's heads, and Beckman, who had been silent all along, glanced at his pocket watch and said with a smile:

"They are here."

As soon as Beckman finished speaking, a series of dull sounds rang out from under the ice lake in front of everyone.

Immediately afterwards, several huge cracks began to spread on the ice surface. With the eerie sound of ice breaking, a huge ghost ship with a lot of water plants and even octopuses and barnacles suddenly broke through the ice surface, all the way. Rolled over the thick ice and drove to the shore.

Seeing this, everyone on the shore also stopped all small movements.

Everyone's enthusiasm, which was slightly weakened by the cold wind, was rekindled, and they watched the ghost ship slowly dock with their eyes shining, and then a pale golden escalator composed of pure magic power took Link and Mrs. Foley. And Emily and a group of hunters extended down the side of the boat.

The crowd on the shore burst into loud cheers.

The sound reverberated among the mountains, continuously amplified, and finally even caused an avalanche on a small mountain in the distance.

Beckman, on the other hand, hurried up to meet him, gently supported Mrs. Foley's outstretched hand, and said with a smile:

"Welcome to you! Oh! This makes me so happy!"

Perhaps because he was too excited, Beckman was trembling slightly.

On the other hand, on Mrs. Foley's side, although she was also laughing, she could also feel the pure joy in Beckman because of seeing her daughter, but she was not so excited.

The experience of running the Foley family for so many years has already tempered her heart as hard as steel, and this heart will never soften unless it is in front of Link and Emily.

Of course, the most important thing is that Mrs. Foley still can't forget Beckman's interference in his marriage when he was young.

Even though this has been resolved under Link's operation, the seeds of emotion have already grown into towering trees and cannot be eradicated.

Beckman probably knew this, so after making out with Mrs. Foley for a while, he quickly turned his eyes to Link and Emily, and asked proudly:

"How is it, Link, the Durmstrang I managed didn't let you down, right?"

Link, who was looking at Durmstrang Castle in the distance, also smiled and nodded.

Although the last time I came here was a few years ago, Link still remembered how bad the Durmstrang Castle looked back then.

Compared to Hogwarts Castle, Durmstrang Castle back then couldn't even use the word 'castle' to describe it.

This is basically a prison stationed in a bitter cold place, and it belongs to the same architectural style as the infamous Azkaban, even the size and scale of the building are similar.

Now, after Link's investment and Beckman's own construction, the castle here is still not as grand as Hogwarts or Beauxbatons, but at least it looks like a castle.

This is probably the limit of what Durmstrang Castle can do. After all, the surrounding environment is really not suitable for the existence of too majestic buildings, even with magical maintenance.

Not only that, but even the lake where Link and the others are now has changed a lot.

Link still clearly remembered that the lake was full of shipwrecks at that time.

Except for one of the ghost ships that Durmstrang inherited from ancient times, it was repaired because it was going to participate in the Triwizard Tournament, and almost all of them were in this lake.

And now, in addition to the ghost ship that Link took away, two ghost ships, one large and one small, were docked in this huge lake.

And a little further away, the wrecks of the other ships were also pulled to the shipyard on the shore, which seemed to be undergoing repair and clean-up work.

All this work is enough to see that Beckman is not slack.

He'd done his best to be able to restore Durmstrang to this level when Link summoned him from time to time.

However, when Link's eyes turned to the students who were still cheering in front of him, the smile on Link's face became a little weird.

He turned his head and said to Beckman somewhat mockingly:

"Have you put a lot of effort into calling these students out to meet us?"

As soon as these words came out, the smile on Beckman's face froze.

Beckman was not surprised that Link could see that the group of students were not all voluntary. After all, Link was also a student, so he knew that rebellious students could not come out voluntarily to welcome the so-called visiting leaders.

In fact, anyone who has had a little school life knows this.

The reason why everyone is doing this when everyone knows it is purely for the sake of insurance.

This is the same reason that the slug club members licked Link last night.

Leaders may easily see through your careful thinking and even hate these formalisms.

But you still have to do it.

Because this is to express the importance you attach to leadership.

Gu Xian </span> Doing it may not make the leader happy, but if you don't do it, there is a high probability that the leader will be unhappy.

But what really surprised Beckman was that Link actually brought it up in front of everyone.

This is a little embarrassing.

Fortunately, Beckman is also an old fritter.

I saw that he just paused and said:

"Most of the students still welcome you to visit, or, in other words, they are already looking forward to this day. Of course, in order to make up for the loss that they can't go home for Christmas, I have also made some compensation, such as giving some scholarships. What."

Hearing this, Link couldn't help laughing.

According to experience, Beckman's previous sentence is probably farting.

I am afraid that these enthusiastic students are basically all attracted by scholarships.

But Link didn't mean to blame Beckman, he was just joking.

What's more, what Beckman did was really good enough.

At least he also gave out scholarships.

Those schools in Link's previous life welcomed leaders to visit, not to mention scholarships. It would be good not to let you come to the school every day off.

"Everything Principal Beckman said is true!"

Just when Link thought so, a familiar voice suddenly rang.

When Link and the others heard the news, they saw that a strong man in a heavy leather jacket had walked out of the group of professors and was waving at Link.

"Krum? I didn't expect to see you here. Shouldn't you have graduated?"

"Indeed, I have graduated." Krum shrugged as he walked over, "but you know, I have feelings for Durmstrang, so after graduation, I will stay on campus as a A flying professor."

"I understand your love for Durmstrang, but what about your Quidditch career?"

Link has come out of his joy and said to Krum with a frown.

You must know that Krum led the Bulgarian team to win the runner-up medal in the Quidditch World Cup when he was a student, and is also known as the best Seeker in the world.

In the original book, he did become a professional Seeker in the follow-up, and it is said that he has achieved good results.

Now he actually chose to stay in school?

This made Link feel a little guilty.

Because he thought it might be because of him, an outsider.

Hearing this, Krum shook his head strangely and said:

"Of course I'm still continuing my Quidditch career. My teammates and I are still preparing for the next Quidditch World Cup. I don't understand what conflict this has with me staying at school as a flight professor."

Hearing Krum say this, Link was a little stunned.

He turned to look at Beckman again, he believed that Beckman would definitely give him an explanation.

"Cough cough—"

Beckman coughed lightly, "Link, the two are indeed not in conflict, because the training ground for the Bulgarian national Quidditch team is now at Durmstrang."

"Are they crazy? Leave the original training ground unused, and come to this foreign training ground?"

"No, of course they're not crazy!" Krum leaned in and added, "In fact our team leader is very happy to be stationed in Durmstrang for training. For one thing, Principal Beckman has put Durmstrang The Quidditch pitch has been renovated, and all the latest and most advanced equipment is used here. In addition, the rent of the venue offered by Principal Beckman is also very cheap, so teams from many places want to come here for training. Principal Beckman was willing to give the Bulgarian Quidditch team this chance because of my own face."

Link nodded, and his gaze towards Beckman gradually calmed down.

This made Beckman a little embarrassed.

After becoming the sole manager of Durmstrang and mastering the entire Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Link continued to make large investments in Durmstrang.

Although the strength in this regard is not comparable to that of Beauxbatons, who inherited Nicole LeMay's legacy, it is also huge.

The reason for this is that Link valued Durmstrang's profound historical precipitation and excellent geographical location.

Unlike Beauxbatons in France, Durmstrang and Hogwarts, which are located in the northernmost part of the European continent, do not actually compete at all. The origins of the two wizarding schools are fundamentally different.

Therefore, Link's investment in Durmstrang will undoubtedly attract more students, and at the same time, it will not affect Hogwarts.

Link has actually achieved this goal.

Because he found that among the students who came to greet them, the number of students in the lower grades was much higher than that in the upper grades.

This means that more and more little wizards have chosen Durmstrang these days.

But among these many investments, it does not include the construction of a large state-of-the-art Quidditch pitch.

"Link, listen to me explain, that stadium is actually..."

Beckman wanted to explain, but he was only halfway through when Krum interrupted directly:

"No, Link, I just want you to know that everything Principal Beckman just said is the truth. Now Durmstrang students really love you and Principal Beckman very much, and they are very grateful to you for coming here. Very excited. Because Principal Beckman has not only improved Durmstrang's environment, UU Kanshu www.uukanshu.com has built a new Quidditch pitch and done many other things!"

"for example?"

Link asked with great interest.

Hearing that, Krum didn't talk nonsense, and said directly:

"I'll take you to see it and you'll know."

After saying that, Krum dragged Link directly to Durmstrang Castle, leaving only Emily, Mrs. Foley and the others with their faces bewildered, and the students on the shore were also a little overwhelmed.

Among them, Beckman was definitely the most depressed.

He already regretted agreeing to Krum's request to come to meet Link.

Under his arrangement, this welcome ceremony was supposed to be perfect, and Beckman took all the details into consideration.

But now, all this has been completely ruined by Krum.

Looking at the sluggish crowd around him, Beckman was extremely decadent, but in the end he sighed and said:

"This is the end of the matter, everyone, hurry back to the castle, don't let the wind blow here."

Emily and Mrs. Foley seemed to see Beckman's gaffe, and couldn't help but laugh.

The students below cheered when they heard the words, and happily chased in the direction Link and Krum left.
