At first no one paid much attention, they just stepped into a spiral downward passage.

The flat walls and stairs are no different from other passages in Hogwarts Castle... no, they are much simpler.

The interior of Hogwarts Castle is made of hard marble, or at least bluestone, but here it's just dirt—no lighting yet.

But as we walked, even the dullest person would notice something was wrong - this passage was dug by one person!

One person dug from the Forbidden Forest to Hogwarts Castle in three weeks, and there was still time to repair the passage... How is this possible?

Even wizards don't have this ability, right?

Involuntarily, the three of them glanced at the excavator being brought down from time to time, including Principal Dumbledore himself.

As time passed, and as he continued to deepen, finally, Professor McGonagall couldn't help it anymore.

"Remy, how deep did you dig?" Professor McGonagall asked.

"Huh? Not sure. I didn't make an instrument that can measure depth." Remy replied.

"Then... what kind of function does this car have? Can it dig and repair passages at the same time?" Professor McGonagall asked.

"Absolutely...it's not actually repaired, it's just dug out," Remy said.

After getting an answer that was not an answer, Professor McGonagall suddenly became more curious.

However, because Dumbledore had not spoken, she could not offer to try it now, so she had to continue walking downward while silently assessing the depth.

Continuing to walk downward, the surrounding environment gradually turns into rock, and occasionally some shiny ores can be seen from the stone walls.

At first, Professor McGonagall thought it was some kind of gem, but after closer inspection, she was disappointed to find that it was just some quartz.

I descended more than 100 meters in one breath, and after walking around a corner, my eyes suddenly opened up.

Cave, an underground cave, a cave with shining gems everywhere!

No, it reflects the colorful light under the illumination spell!

"My God!"

Professor McGonagall exclaimed and hurriedly stepped forward with the lighting spell in hand.

"These...these are all...crystals?! So many?!" Professor McGonagall exclaimed.

Not to mention Professor McGonagall, even Snape and Dumbledore couldn't help but be attracted, but they didn't know whether they were attracted by the gorgeous crystals themselves or whether they were calculating their value.

"Ah, they are all crystals, but the quality is not very good, and few of them are pure." Remy said: "Follow me, there is a smaller crystal mine down there, but the quality of the crystals there is much higher than here! "

"Didn't you say that only gold mines were discovered?" Dumbledore asked.

"Gold mine? You also discovered a gold mine?!" Professor McGonagall asked excitedly: "That's great! Now I finally have the money to replace the old training broom in the school that is falling apart with a new one! "

Hey, Professor McGonagall is also a money addict?He even thought about how to spend the money!

but……

"I would like to ask, is Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry short of money? I don't usually feel it." Remy asked curiously.

Originally, he was asking Professor McGonagall, but what Remy didn't expect was that it was Professor Snape who took the lead to answer his questions.

"It's lacking, but it's not very lacking." Professor Snape said while observing a large crystal column: "The school directors and the Ministry of Magic donate a sum of money to the school every year. It is enough, but there is not much left."

The school director also gives money?

No wonder Principal Dumbledore respects the school directors so much. I originally thought it was just because they have the power to appoint and remove the principal, but it turns out he is the financial backer of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry!

"Let me tell you, I used to be curious about how Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry can operate without charging tuition. It turns out that it relies on funding from the Ministry of Magic and donations from school directors." Remy suddenly realized.

"Not entirely. The school itself also has some industries of its own, such as Professor Sprout's plantation and some magical materials in the Forbidden Forest." Principal Dumbledore said.

"Oh...the two examples you gave, principal, should be the school's entire industry, right?" Remy asked.

Dumbledore stiffened and continued walking forward without saying a word.

Sensing Principal Dumbledore's reaction, Remy had an idea.

"It seems that the school's financial situation has not been very good. Have you ever thought about applying for some teaching funds?" Remy continued to ask.

"Why haven't you thought about it? It's just that we are not very good at this aspect, and... the economic situation of the entire magical world is not very good... no, to be precise, it is relatively... relatively..."

"Relatively stable?" Remy interjected.

"Ah, yes, it is relatively stable." Professor McGonagall said: "Just like in school, sometimes we feel that we need to buy a lot of things, but after thinking about it carefully, it seems that nothing is necessary."

Remy nodded: "Understood, the self-sufficient small farmer economy is like this. After the necessities are met, there is not enough desire to buy other items, and there are not enough new products to stimulate consumption."

"Small peasant economy?" Snape shook his head: "We are not farmers as you call them, Mr. Barrett, we are wizards!"

"Wizards just master magical powers that Muggles don't have, and I'm talking about production methods." Remy said: "Here, the quality of the crystals in this crystal mine is generally good. I think we can buy a few crystals for the school first. The ball. Anyway, given the current almost stagnant market activity, there is a high probability that it will not be sold, so it is better to benefit yourself first."

Professor McGonagall did not answer. She was completely attracted by the colorful and gorgeous scenery in front of her.

Red, gray, purple, yellow, pink...

Unlike the mine behind you, which is full of colorless crystals that reflect colorful light through reflected light, the crystals in the mine in front of you now have colors themselves!

These are all rare crystals!And it is a rare crystal with very high purity!

There are also colorless, almost clear crystals here, perfect for making crystal balls!

"It's so beautiful." Dumbledore said while stroking a piece of pink crystal: "If possible, I really don't want to destroy this place... Its existence is more valuable than the crystals themselves, it is a priceless treasure!"

"Uh... but I've already destroyed part of it." Remy touched his nose embarrassedly: "I was sleeping when I dug it up, and when I woke up... it's not a big problem, there's still something down there."

"Wait, Remy, how many mines did you find?" Dumbledore asked doubtfully: "Didn't you say before that you only found gold mines?"

"When did I say that I only found a gold mine? I said that I found a gold mine, I didn't say that I only found a gold mine!" Remy said after rolling his eyes.

Digging holes underground for so long only to find a gold mine?

Who do you look down on!
