Looking across the parchments 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 gods like the wizard.
Just now, Elena, who woke up, gave a complete explanation for the first time about the force majeure situation regarding the collapse of the ruble and the inherent weakness of the Soviet Union's constitution, and how 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 at will.
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 are 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 was an event that started directly from the result, and they just needed to wait for time.
The subsequent closing and liquidation will be carried out.
"Arithmetic divination? No, we call it science. Or, 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 economic system or the level of 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 antagonistic from the beginning.
Equivalence exists.
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 that it cannot be explained by the current level of science and technology.
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 and 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 the castle over 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, arranged her hair and spoke softly in a relaxed tone.
"Professor Dumbledore, let me ask you, when will Hogwarts disappear? Will the ownership of the castle no longer belong to us? No. Will the knowledge we impart change? No. It will be the Ministry of Magic or someone else.
An organization forcibly appointing 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 deep 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 are the ones who are most anxious. 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 am 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 Luoli raised her fingers and shook them happily, revealing a pair of cute little tiger teeth. Her delicate little face seemed to have an expression of "Come and praise me! Come and praise me!" written all over her delicate little face.
"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 gently, 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 by pretending to be 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 very anxious."
The silver-haired little Luoli hammered the palm of his hand anxiously, stepped on his small leather shoes, and ran quickly to the door of the Slytherin lounge while muttering loudly to himself.
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 lightly 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 the danger approaching, the silver-haired little Luoli, who was petrified all over, loudly condemned and purred like a kitten. She had an ominous premonition.
"I'm sorry, please understand the cheating behavior of an old man with handicapped legs and feet. From now on, 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 Luoli instantly realized the fate that was about to come to him, shook his head and struggled hard.
"Help, I killed someone, and 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 Burley, the house elf, 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, the savior arrived. The silver-haired little Luoli 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 am strong, and it will be easier for her to remember when I beat her."
Hey?! 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! Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo... You are bullying people!"
Bang! Bang! Bang...

It’s still a big chapter with 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, I need to explain the Gringotts-Ruble plan. Generally speaking, as long as the goblins keep their promises, they will only make small profits instead of suffering losses.
On the other hand, naughty children still need to be educated. Even if the results are good, they still deserve a beating.
I'm eating, and I'll try my best to code out one more chapter today... Save, save?
The food reserve was actually watching the show and he didn't come to help, so he just ate it.
