After chatting with Dumbledore for a while, Ani pondered for a while and then asked: "Albus, what do you think of ancient myths from various places?"
"Well, that's a good question."
Dumbledore scratched his beard. Aini's question was a bit unexpected. In other words, few people in the wizarding world now research the myths and legends before the Dark Ages.
Let’s not mention the great erasure at the end of the Dark Ages, but just talk about the chaotic social state at that time. Even the chronology of various countries is not consistent, let alone accurate historical records.
As for things like history, the closer the era is, the more detailed the records will undoubtedly be. Not only is the difficulty of dating archeology twice as high, but the accuracy of the results obtained will also be greatly reduced.
In addition, many people pretend to be gods and ghosts, which makes the records about gods become "colorful" and difficult to figure out.
Fortunately, archeology in the magical world is not just about generating electricity with love. Some gains, such as a certain lost and precious ancient formula, or the location and entry method of some subspaces, may bring huge benefits to the discoverers.
And this income brings not only wealth, but also status and strength. There is no anti-monopoly in the magic world.
But despite this, there are still very few people involved. There is no way. The threshold for archeology in the magical world is too high. Elite wizards who can meet the standards have better choices. Except for those who really love it, few people will take out
Throw a lot of experience and time into this bottomless pit.
Of course, there are some cases where people will get involved.
What's even more fortunate is that Dumbledore is such a person. In order to make up for his past regrets, he often looks for ways from the pile of old papers. Otherwise, I am afraid that it will be difficult for Aini to find a suitable person to answer his questions.
After all, the relationship between the projection of alien gods and the annihilation of black magic is too great. Once it is leaked, it will definitely cause countless troubles.
"Ancient legends do contain some very interesting contents, such as soul-stirring love and hatred, ever-changing adventures, heroic epics and, of course, aloof gods."
The old man looked at the young newcomer opposite with deep meaning. After Aini came back, he noticed a mysterious aura on the other person, which was ethereal, yet vast and majestic.
According to Dumbledore's perception, although the aura was not strong, it was like a candlelight in the endless darkness. It was weak but extremely eye-catching, reminding him of certain ancient objects he had come into contact with before, and...
"Aini, what do you think of gods?"
Dumbledore did not answer Ani's question directly, but instead asked the other party a question.
"Perhaps, those who have reached our level can be enshrined by tribes even in the era of civilization and ignorance."
Ani mused that this was indeed what he had always thought, even after coming into contact with the concept of alien gods.
At that time, he thought that whether they were the gods in the legend of Blue Star or the alien gods at an unknown distance, they were just individuals that were too powerful to be understood by ordinary people, but they were no different in essence from all living beings, and the so-called divine authority was only
It's just a reflection of their great strength.
It was not until after defeating the projection of the alien gods that he obtained the wish technique.
“Very much in line with mainstream thinking.”
After hearing Ani's answer, Dumbledore nodded. This is also the view of most people in the wizarding world. As wizards with extraordinary power, the visions they can induce are like miracles in the eyes of Muggles, which are a bit strange.
The names and deeds of powerful wizards from hundreds of years ago are still part of Muggle myths and legends.
"I thought the same way when I was young, but back then..."
Dumbledore paused for a moment, his eyes seemed confused and nostalgic. He didn't want to elaborate on the efforts he made to resurrect his family. If he wasn't communicating with Ani, some of the images that flashed through his mind almost made him
Lost in memories.
"In short, I found that everything is not that simple. Some existences have abilities that are difficult for us to touch, just like..."
The conversation came to a standstill again. Some concepts are like summer insects that cannot be explained by ice. For those who know it, no need for too much explanation. But for those who have never seen ice, we often find that even after detailed description,
The other party may not be able to vividly outline the image of ice in his mind.
Fortunately, just when Dumbledore was thinking carefully about how to express that concept accurately, Ani took over the topic.
"Just like the 'God-given royal power' of the Muggle rulers in the past, those abilities do not come from practice, but are more like gifts from beings with supreme power."
"That's probably what it means. The power of those gods comes from themselves, while their authority comes from heaven and earth."
Hearing this, Dumbledore nodded. Using "God-given royal power" to describe the authority of gods is not very appropriate. In other words, this only understandable concept is very difficult to describe clearly, but at least from Aini's answer
, the old principal knows that he does understand this concept, so the subsequent communication will be much easier.
"Ani, you always exceed my expectations. I didn't expect you to be exposed to this now."
Dumbledore was really surprised. Only with relevant abilities can he clearly understand this concept. It was a coincidence that he was able to come into contact with him. And counting the time, he was almost eighty years old at that time.
But how old is Aini now?
"It can only be regarded as a legacy of our predecessors. Do you remember the last time Newt came over..."
Sensing Dumbledore's surprise, Aini did not show off any more and gave a general account of the origin of the wooden box and the trip to the temple.
This is not the past. When he first stepped into the gate of Hogwarts as a professor, his heart was full of wariness. The road ahead was filled with white fog, and he couldn't see his feet clearly or the future.
There are bustling interactions between people, intrigues, enemies of each other, doing harm to each other, hand in hand, supporting each other, earnest teachings, and goodwill support...
People's hearts change people's hearts, and now Aini is no longer the boy who came here anxiously, but a professor at Hogwarts. There are elders who care and love him, colleagues who treat him well, close friends, and
The students who loved him, including Sylvie and a large group of cute friends.
When he stepped into the gate of the castle, what brought him was no longer uneasiness, but inner peace.
This was a change that Ani had not expected, but he did not resist.
The more and more people you can trust and the more and more people who are willing to trust you, aren't this a sign that your life is getting better and better?
Dumbledore tapped his fingers lightly. What he heard now was really shocking, but more importantly...
The old man looked at Aini with a happy smile on his face.
