I, Hogwarts Second Week

"If you have any questions, please consult Merlin." Owen said expressionlessly.

"Dig graves, or channel psychics, it's up to you."

"Merlin?" Neither Zhang Xiaolin nor Koyatel knew much about Merlin, who was once the heir to the ancient magic power.

They didn't know what Mei Dashanren had done.

"Yes - Merlin." Owen rubbed his neck, lay back behind him, and positioned himself in a comfortable position.

He stared at the oak ceiling of the Hufflepuff lounge, where many vines were spreading their leaves, like graceful girls, showing the most beautiful side of life.

"Merlin is a wizard from the Camelot era. Or a half-wizard. That guy is definitely not a pure-blood human." Owen said slowly, "The Camelot era was almost fifteen hundred years ago, and Merlin had at least one A thousand and five years old. How much do you think an ancient magic heir who can live for fifteen hundred years can do?"

"This-" The two girls were stunned, and then thought about Owen's words.

Fifteen hundred years!

Even Nico Flamel, who created the Philosopher's Stone, only lived for more than 660 years.

It's unimaginable how much he can do in such a long time.

Zhang Xiaolin even thought for a moment that Merlin might be a fake alien god and that he was the alien god. Such a ridiculous idea.

"The whole world has been arranged by Merlin a long time ago. He is like a Chat gpt. He has foreseen everything. Even your birth, experience, and life are all arranged by him. Now you can sit here with me. Maybe it’s Merlin’s instruction to chat?”

"Haha - who knows?" Owen chuckled.

As a chess piece, he himself does not know the truth of many things. He didn't want to know clearly either.

There's nothing wrong with being confused.

This is also the smartest thing about Merlin.

He did not reveal all his plans at the beginning or at a certain moment, but guided himself bit by bit, allowing himself to experience things that he might have arranged for a long time ago.

Through those things, he instilled his plan bit by bit, allowing himself to guess and speculate.

In the end, when you have experienced everything, you will naturally understand the entire plan.

ah! How bold.

How terrible!

It was just like the smoke that caused those capable wizards he saw on the coast of Australia more than a month ago to fall into the illusion.

At that time, he was still sighing at how powerful that kind of magic was, just like other gods.

Now, when I think about it, isn't his entire life just another form of magic that Merlin used on him?

There seems to be no difference between the two.

He is like a firewood king who picks up firewood for himself, waiting for the first fire to appear and the firewood to ignite, becoming the only torch that illuminates the way forward and the way forward.

Owen's words were like a heavy hammer, hitting the hearts of the two girls hard.

They changed their faces several times.

From deep thought, to surprise, to confusion.

Once people know that their life may be a false bubble, they will lose the motivation to go in any direction, and they will not even want to go back, they just want to stay where they are.

So——Owen said, there is nothing wrong with being confused.

"Okay-" Owen waved his hand, looking impatient.

He lowered his forehead, his emerald green eyes fell on Miss Zhang, and said, "Let's calm down and talk about the purpose of your coming to Hogwarts, right?

Aren't you the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor at Chang'an Taixue? So relaxing? "

Hearing the sound, Zhang Xiaolin's black eyes became brighter again. She took a deep breath, put the terrible distracting thoughts behind her, and then closed the folding fan.

Of course she had a purpose for coming to Hogwarts.

This was her choice after discussing with the old master.

However, there was no record of the ancient magic heirs in the Ming Dynasty. She didn't know much about certain things. She had discussed it with Dumbledore before coming, but the greatest white wizard did not answer her questions. Instead, he added A lot.

He seemed to trust his students too much.

All matters related to the ancient magic heir were handed over to Owen.

As for the Divine Grant Tower and the gods, he did say a few things.

"There are several teachers for each subject in Taixue. There are a lot of wizard students in the Ming Dynasty. Considering our territory and population, this is normal.

Chang'an Taixue has many more students than the three major magic academies in Europe combined.

I just shared some of the work of the Defense Against the Dark Arts professors. Before me, they were able to teach normally. The old master just wanted me to stay in Taixue, so he gave me the position of professor. In fact, the school is the same with or without me. "

"After the incident in Australia, I had a long talk with my husband and now I mainly work for the federation."

"Working for Dumbledore again?" Owen raised his eyebrows, but after looking at Miss Zhang's face, he knew why.

The girl in front of me is not teaching material.

She prefers to have adventures everywhere.

It is normal to choose to return to the Federation.

"It's not for Dumbledore." Zhang Xiaolin's tone suddenly became serious and stiff, "What Ming Dynasty needs is a stable Europe. Your war has affected our business.

As for why I came to Hogwarts, it was of course Dumbledore's invitation. Of course, I won't be there all the time. Most of the time I have other jobs.

As for me personally - of course I have some selfish motives.

I heard about you from Dumbledore and wanted to meet you, fellow children of the gods. "

"A child of a god?"

Koyatel gave a sneer.

She and Zhang Xiaolin looked at each other, and lightning seemed to light up on both sides.

Owen sat watching the show.

The two people's attitudes towards gods are completely different.

What Zhang Xiaolin said would definitely arouse the hostility of Koyatel.

"You actually think you are the child of some bullshit god?" Coatl said, getting a little excited. "That's ridiculous, or simply stupid!"

Zhang Xiaolin did not show the slightest waver in the face of Koyatel's ridicule. She waved the folding fan and said word by word, "I have experienced all the sufferings you have experienced, and even more, but - no matter what, without that power, you - or I would not even be born. "

"I would rather never have been born." Koyatel said directly, "This world makes me feel sick."

"Really? I heard that you have a boyfriend?" Zhang Xiaolin said suddenly, "I heard it from Tonks."

Koyatel was startled.

Her brows were furrowed, her clenched fists were deflated for a moment, and her eyes were evading. Her hands with no place to put were just like her life with no place to put.

Before this year, she lived for no one.

After this year, the house in the Devon village of Ottery St. Catchpole got her room.

She wanted to speak softly, decisively, and dejectedly.

But that would make her feel like she was betraying herself.

Staring at Koyatel, Zhang Xiaolin slowly said, "Me too."

Her eyes fell on Owen again, “We are all the same.

Isn't it? "

"What you said may make sense, but - the god is not a good thing, it is evil and crazy. Anyone who is contaminated by its power will eventually go to destruction. I have seen too many people, and they died one by one before me. In front of me, in Isabella's port, lies the hope of countless lives."

"Yes." Zhang Xiaolin responded, "You are right. Maybe the power of alien gods is indeed not a good thing, but - power does not lie in evil but in application. Facing an increasingly chaotic world, wouldn't you feel afraid? ?"

"I don't know what Merlin, or Dumbledore, Grindelwald, and Voldemort are planning, but I have never been a person who just sits and waits for death. Instead of relying on others to pin success or failure on others, I am more accustomed to taking it into my own hands."

"Haha -" Owen suppressed a look at her, "It's exposed. You really have ulterior motives for coming to Hogwarts."

"So you want to regain that power?" Koyatel's eyes widened. After saying so much, she finally understood the other party's intention.

"You are simply a lunatic. Everyone else is avoiding you, but you want to jump into the abyss again?"

"Maybe." Zhang Xiaolin didn't hide anything.

She said, "The magic that I could cast at will in the past has become very difficult now. I can no longer control most of the origin magic. The goddess Diana, the Supreme Will Ionia, their memories, about battles and The memory of magic is clearly engraved in my mind, and now I can only look at it - it’s like guarding a treasure but losing the key.”

Zhang Xiaolin's eyes glowed red, "I cannot accept such a result."

"I think you are in danger." Owen said coldly.

He could understand Zhang Xiaolin's current state.

If his strength suddenly dropped to that of a normal sixth-grade wizard, he wouldn't be able to accept it.

If the outside world was a normal Harry Potter plot, he might have been silent for a while and then accepted it.

But facing the deteriorating world and dark forces such as crazy Death Eaters, he will also rise up to find a way to restore his strength.

Because he can't joke with Hermione's life, he naturally doesn't mind lifting her up when he can control the situation, but when he doesn't have that strength, it will definitely drive him crazy what kind of dangerous situation Hermione will be in.

Moreover, Zhang Xiaolin also completely accepted part of the memories of the two gods. Most of those magics relied on ancient magic power to cast spells or perfect spells.

It's like playing a game and getting a god-level magician account. Just when you are happily preparing to take over the world, you find that your character has no blue bars - how painful it is.

However, despite understanding, Owen still had serious doubts that Zhang Xiaolin was held hostage by the memories of two ancient gods.

This change had been mentioned a month ago when he and Mr. Basil separated.

Judging from the current situation, although she has not changed for the worse, she is not the same as before.

"Where's Mr. Basil?" Owen said calmly, leaning on the bench.

When he read out the name, Zhang Xiaolin's mood changed instantly. It was not negative, but joy was mixed with a little happiness.

"Just work for Dumbledore on a daily basis, what else can you do?"

"Really?" Owen said, looking at her carefully.

There was a pause for a long time.

In the end, he decided that it would be better to announce it directly. Anyway, there were no secrets between the two parties.

"I think you should focus your life on your significant other, instead of pursuing the illusory power of alien gods." He said straightforwardly, "Those creatures who are lucky enough to obtain the power of alien gods escaped from the Divine Grant Tower, in every possible way. It's different. For example, you - you are in direct contact, and Coatl is passively endowed - through the human alchemy experiment, the power of the foreign gods in the Italian God's Grant Tower has not escaped at all, because only the consciousness of India remains intact. The throne is considered the worst, and only the purest power is left. I don’t know which god defeated Ionia.”

"Currently, if you want to regain that power, you can only try your luck in other divine grant towers that have not yet been opened. However, if you are determined to do this, then you will become the common enemy of Voldemort and us. Please advise I don’t want to say any more of your words. I only have one final warning for you – it’s hard to persuade a damn ghost with good words.

Don't be my enemy. "

"Hmph -" Zhang Xiaolin curled her lips, "Your threat is really naked."

"This is not a threat, but a statement of fact." Irving shrugged.

"Then I have a question too."

"explain."

"You are constantly collecting ancient magic power just to prevent it from falling into the hands of Voldemort? What if you have ulterior motives? Who else can defeat you at that time?"

"Oh——" Owen smiled slightly, "So that's what you were worried about."

"It's not me, it's the whole world." Zhang Xiaolin stared at him with sharp eyes, "Owen - I don't understand you, and I don't even understand Dumbledore. As the most powerful white wizard in the world, There are many comments about him from the outside world, among which the White Devil is the most widely circulated.

People like Dumbledore also have a dark side that is unknown to everyone. How can we trust you who is ultimately comparable to a god? "

"I'm not used to leaving the future in other people's hands and relying on other people's whims."

"I see. You finally told the truth." Owen smiled, indeed this was something he had never considered.

Little is known about Merlin's plans.

The only ones who can roughly guess are Dumbledore and Grindelwald, and maybe Wenda Rosier.

In the eyes of others, he is simply a time bomb more terrifying than Voldemort.

At least Voldemort still had Dumbledore to resist him, but what about him?

When all the ancient magic power in the world is attributed to him, it is no exaggeration to say that he is a walking god.

How can this make others not worry and fear?

Owen leaned forward, waved his hand, and said, "Although things will not turn out the way you imagine in the end - I really have no way to convince you."

"Behind you, perhaps the Old Master, Chang'an Imperial College, Ming Dynasty, the entire Far East, and most people in this world have such thoughts."

"Words always make people feel dull, why don't I take you to meet someone. It's time for me to go there."

"Coatl, you come too."

Owen said calmly, then waved and stood up to leave the common room.
