Chapter 80 Listening to the principal tell history
It was late at night, and all the house elves in the kitchen had gone to rest. There were only two people in the huge kitchen, Charles and Dumbledore.
Dumbledore took a sip of his drink and began to tell a story.
He asked Charles: "You should know Merlin."
Charles nodded and replied: "I know that Merlin is a powerful wizard in history. It is said that he has lived for thousands of years and served as King Uther's think tank and King Arthur's teacher."
Dumbledore said with a smile: "Merlin did not live for thousands of years, but his successors were also named Merlin. Some historians believe that the first Merlin was a druid a thousand and fifteen years ago." p>
"Druid?" Charles was startled, there was something wrong with this style of painting.
Dumbledore said: "Many years ago, people had limited understanding of magic and had many names for wizards. Druids were one of them. They had not yet separated from the original religion."
Charles expressed his understanding that people in the past had limited knowledge of the world, and wizards who knew magic were regarded as the spokespersons of God.
Dumbledore continued: "According to legend, the magic used by ancient magicians a long time ago was crude, but very powerful. However, before the time of the first Merlin, the power of magic used by wizards began to become less powerful than before.
."
Charles was not very familiar with the history of wizards. In the history of magic class, you can win without snoring. When he heard this, he said in surprise: "So about a thousand years ago, the strength of wizards dropped a lot.
The conflict between ordinary people and wizards started to hunt wizards, and then Hogwarts was established to protect young wizards."
Dumbledore took a sip of his drink when he heard what he said, then nodded and said: "Charles, you have very keen observation skills, just as you said."
"Later, the power of the wizards gradually recovered, which made some wizards have some ideas."
Charles asked tentatively: "Grindelwald?"
Dumbledore nodded, and then said: "Grindelwald believed that the era when wizards were powerless had passed, and that in the future, wizards would rule Muggles, but he was wrong."
Charles didn't think about whether Grindelwald was right or wrong, but his mind was full of black lines. Why did this style of painting change to the spiritual energy revival flow?
Dumbledore began to talk about Merlin: "It is said that the first Merlin discovered the problem of wizards' weakening power, so he and other wizards 'hid the sunset deep until the long night passed and the sun rose.'"
Charles thought about it and said: "So, Merlin thought that magic would disappear in the future, so he and other wizards hid their inheritance somewhere, waiting for the magic to reappear and hand it over to the new wizards."
"That's right." Dumbledore was very satisfied with his keenness, "This inheritance is guarded by Merlin in every generation."
"Legend has it that a thousand years ago, Gryffindor, Slytherin, Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff met Merlin of that era when they decided to build Hogwarts in the darkest moment, and then the four
The founder established Hogwarts here, and people can’t help but associate it with it.”
Charles nodded, feeling that it made sense.
Dumbledore continued: "What Merlin was originally worried about did not happen. Although the wizards became weaker, they did not stop. Magic has been passed down."
"The last Merlin had been worried about this for a long time. The cause that countless people had guarded for thousands of years was of no use at all in the end. But he finally figured it out. No one can predict what will happen hundreds of years later. Although the efforts of the ancestors were ineffective,
, but their sacrifice and dedication for the wizards in the world cannot be denied."
"The last Merlin told his disciples that the careers of all Merlins would end in his own generation, and he could continue to use Nico Flamel's real name."
"The position inherited by Merlin and other wizards was taken to the grave by the last Merlin."
Charles blinked after hearing this. He didn't expect the ending of this story, and what he didn't expect was that Nico Flamel was actually the last generation successor of Merlin.
It's no wonder that Dumbledore knows this history. He and Nico Flamel are friends.
Charles thought to himself that Dumbledore might be telling this history to him because he wanted him to pass on the story of Merlin.
After finishing his drink, Dumbledore said: "There is no definite conclusion as to whether the hot cave is related to Merlin's inheritance. It is just a guess. Someone once excavated the room inside, and the result was nothing but collapse." Charles smiled and said: "It seems that I am lucky."
Dumbledore said: "It is mainly your bravery and kindness that provide you with opportunities."
"I plan to explore hot caves with other professors next weekend. Will you come with me?"
Charles naturally agreed to form a team with a big boss and gain experience.
Dumbledore said to him again: "Don't tell others about your ability to use the Patronus Charm and hunt Voldebats. You are very talented, but the time to learn magic is still short. It needs time to settle before you can go further in the future."
."
"You haven't joined the dueling club, right? How about I arrange for a professor to give you some dueling lessons?"
Charles immediately replied happily: "Thank you principal for your cultivation!"
But the next second he said helplessly: "But I don't have that much time, I'm still in Professor Snape's confinement period."
Charles could see that Lao Deng had the idea of cultivating himself, but the time in a day was limited. Even if he was young and could stay up late, he couldn't drag the professor out of bed in the middle of the night to teach him.
At this time, he suddenly thought of the time turner. This thing can indeed allow him to exercise for 30 hours a day. In "Memory", Hermione applied to the Ministry of Magic because she was good enough, and her ability to use the Patronus Charm should be within the range of excellence.
Inside.
Charles's heart suddenly beat violently. If he could really get a time turner, why not go back to Wales 12 years ago, see who put him in the trash can, and then go over and slap him twice.
Or... there are many things that can be done, such as going back 350 million years ago and kicking the first animals that climbed out of the water back into the water.
Sure enough, Dumbledore said to him: "I will find a solution as a matter of time, but it will be very hard."
Charles immediately replied: "No problem, you are working hard now so that you can enjoy life later!"
Dumbledore secretly sighed that this boy's ideas were always so unexpected.
Charles' feet were a little dangling when he left the kitchen. It sounded like Dumbledore was really going to apply for a time turner for him.
He was so giggling that when he met Malfoy on the stairs, he even greeted Malfoy with a smile, which scared his classmates and ran away.
