Chapter 679 My Classmate Is a God
"certainly."
Hermione squinted at Ethan, she could feel that Ethan hesitated a bit, so she continued to ask.
"Since I'm a friend, shouldn't there be too many secrets?"
"What do you want to know?"
Ethan knew that Hermione had doubts about her identity.
"Are you really from an ordinary family?"
"no."
Ethan straightforwardly admitted that he was not ordinary. He used a fake identity just to sneak into Hogwarts. Discover awareness.
The reason for not telling Hermione and others is also very simple, because they didn't ask before.
Hermione opened her mouth, her little head couldn't figure out why Ethan hid his identity and entered Hogwarts.
"Does Professor Dumbledore know?"
But she quickly grasped the point.
"of course I know."
Hearing this, Hermione breathed a sigh of relief. Dumbledore knew Ethan's identity, so he could prove that Ethan and the others were not bad people—but there was no way to be sure, because these were all Ethan said. If Ethan was Who lied to her?
Believe it or not? Hermione decided to trust Ethan first.
As I said before, she regards Ethan as a friend, and she is willing to believe what Ethan says in her heart.
"So, who are you?"
She finally asked the question she had wanted to ask for a long time.
Since Miss Know-It-All is reading books when she has nothing to do, she has already realized that Ethan's identity is definitely not simple.
It is difficult for many adult wizards to easily defeat a fire dragon. She even suspected that Ethan actually used some potion to enter Hogwarts disguised as a child (the truth).
Considering that Dumbledore knew Ethan's identity, could it be...
"Could it be related to... that person?"
Hermione has never been shy about saying Voldemort's name. She didn't say it here because she was worried that this was in the corridor of the school and there were many people coming and going, so she was afraid of being overheard by others.
"Barely count."
Ethan himself is too lazy to talk to Voldemort, but now he has reached a tacit understanding with Dumbledore. Considering what will happen next, he really wants to meet Voldemort face to face for the last time.
Hermione looked left and right, with an expression of "I understand", she stopped dwelling on this question, and started asking about other things.
"Your real name is Ethan Arendelle?"
"My real name is Ethan."
"Arendale?"
"A random surname."
Hermione looked at Ethan curiously: "What's your real last name?"
"No."
"No? How could there be no?" Hermione couldn't understand the meaning of Ethan's words, wondering if he didn't want to say it at all?
"Why is it impossible? Not only do I not have one, but Skaha doesn't have a last name either."
Hermione opened her mouth, and she suddenly thought of a question: "Could it be that all of you are..."
"There are still some differences. Rin and Liya are real children. Illya's actual age may be a little older than her appearance, but not much older."
Hermione's head began to be confused. She found that the identities of Ethan's group were covered with layers of fog, and the curiosity in her heart was thoroughly aroused. She really wanted to clear away all the fog and know everything hidden information.
I turned my head and looked around, trying to find a place suitable for conversation, but found that there were a bunch of students in most places at this time, and Ethan has been in the limelight recently, so he would attract attention wherever he went, and he wanted to have a quiet conversation It's quite difficult.
"Come with me."
Ethan knew what she wanted to do, and beckoned her to follow him.
After walking for a while, Hermione recognized where Ethan was going.
"Professor Snape's office?"
"Yes."
"Why are you going there?"
"Aren't you looking for a place where you won't be disturbed? I can't think of a more suitable place."
In the entire Hogwarts College, Professor Snape is definitely the most disliked professor by students. He has a cold face all day long and has extremely strict requirements for grades. In the eyes of students, he is the embodiment of the devil, even if he is a Slytherin student. Most of them are in awe of him.
So Snape's office was an absolute forbidden place for the students, no one would run to this place full of food, and would not even approach it - for fear of being caught by Snape.
"But..." Hermione immediately understood the key point: "Professor Snape also knows?"
"Of course I know, otherwise how would I get so much convenience?"
When Ethan said this, Hermione immediately understood why Ethan lived so comfortably in Slytherin, he had almost everything he wanted, and Snape never criticized him even if he didn't attend class. It turned out that Snape Also an insider.
"No wonder."
When he came to Snape's office, Snape was about to go out. When he saw Ethan, he was stunned for a moment. He was about to ask Ethan what he wanted for him, and then he saw Hermione who followed him.
Putting on the most commonly used cold face, Professor Snape, the number one acting school at Hogwarts, posed as if he usually faced his students.
"What's matter?"
"Let me use your office." Then he waved his hand, signaling that he doesn't have to pretend: "Hermione has already noticed my identity."
"That's right."
Although the expression didn't change, Snape's temperament and tone of voice immediately changed. This change made Hermione wonder if she was dazzled? Why did she feel that Snape seemed to be very polite and respectful to Ethan?
Just as he was thinking that maybe he had read it wrong, he saw Snape reopen the office, then respectfully step aside, and invited Ethan in.
"..."
Hermione followed Ethan into the office dully, and then heard the door closing behind her, and turned around to find that Snape hadn't come in.
"..."
Turning around again, Ethan sat casually on the chair behind the desk, and motioned Hermione to sit casually, as if this was his office.
"Tea?"
"No thanks."
Watching Ethan skillfully beckon, An Jing was automatically thrown out of the tea set placed in the cabinet, and then started to make hot tea as if someone was operating it.
When Hermione sat down, Ethan spread his hands.
"What do you want to ask, I promise not to hide it."
Hermione sat on the chair, as if the chair was uncomfortable, she first moved it slightly, then turned her leg to the other side, and changed it back after two seconds, finally she seemed to make up her mind to finally ask had its own problems.
"Who are you?"
Pretty much the same question as before, but this time it means something different.
Hermione would ask this again because she had been thinking about it in her mind for a long time. After thinking about it, she found that she didn't know where to start asking, and in the end, she could only ask this question again.
"This question is not very easy to answer. It depends on which aspect you want to know? My identity? My position? Or something else?"
"identity!"
"A mage who is striding forward on the road to becoming a god, and has achieved some results so far—in short, a slightly more powerful mage."
Ethan briefly described his identity, but the string of adjectives before him still made Hermione's mouth wide open and unable to close.
"Become a god?"
This is not the most shocking thing for her, the next sentence "achieved a little result" is even more shocking, okay?
"Are you kidding me?"
"No."
Looking at Ethan's face, Hermione still couldn't believe what Ethan said.
"It's normal if you don't believe it. In fact, if you think of a god as a kind of life form with powerful magic power, and its own life form has also evolved, with stronger quality and power and a longer lifespan, you may be able to accept it faster. "
"I still can't believe it." Hermione rubbed her cheeks, today she always opened her mouth in shock, her cheeks hurt a little: "If you tell me now that you made up those things to lie to me, Maybe I also find it easier to accept."
"But what I say is true."
Continuing to rub her face, Hermione had an expression of 'I've given up'.
"Is there anything else that would shock me?"
"I'm not from this world, does this count?"
"Walter?"
After briefly explaining his background, Ethan looked at Hermione who had fallen into a sluggish state, took a sip of hot tea calmly, and by the way complained about Snape's bad taste.
After drinking a full cup of hot tea, Hermione was able to recover a bit. Her brain, which was flooded with too much information in an instant, finally returned to normal. She stared at Ethan with wide eyes, thinking about the past few years Some details that happened when getting along, I found that many things that would make people feel a little strange have reasonable explanations.
For example, apart from Ethan's guardian, the guardians of the other students never showed up, and no one contacted them.
Logan transferred to another school very suddenly and left - because he had played enough and didn't want to come back.
She also understood why Tohsaka Rin often came up with some strange magic theories, and why she had good theoretical results at the beginning, but always had problems in actual operation.
Scathach is very good at runes... because she is the legendary Scathach?
The truth turned out to be like this.
"This is really...too unbelievable."
People who I thought were friends and classmates actually had such amazing identities. Compared with this information, Ethan said that he was striding forward on the road to becoming a god, which didn't seem so unbelievable.
"So... your goal of traveling around and learning all kinds of knowledge is to become a god?"
Ethan touched the teacup that was still warm, looked at Hermione whose world view was collapsing, and stepped on the ruins.
"In a sense, I am now."
