Chapter 352 The Destined War in the Future
After turning into an afterimage and rushing into the wine barrel, the rich aroma of wine made Minerva McGonagall feel a little dizzy.
To make an inappropriate metaphor, Professor McGonagall felt that she was like the poor ghost lady in the bathroom on the second floor of Hogwarts. While hiding in the toilet, someone pressed the flush button of the water tank, and her whole body was sucked in. There was some kind of eddy, and Gulu Gulu flowed down the river.
I don't know how long it took, but the dizzy feeling finally disappeared. Professor McGonagall felt like she was lying on a soft bed. The thick quilt had been dried, and a reassuring smell of sunshine lingered in her mouth and nose.
After recalling his situation clearly, Mag stood up from the soft bed and woke up completely.
The room in front of me is decorated in a Scottish style. Light green is the main color of the room. The wooden furniture and accessories still look new, as if they were just added. It was probably a house that a newlywed couple had just decorated.
"This is, this is..."
Looking at this familiar house, Professor McGonagall was moved in her heart and couldn't help but quickly walked to the dressing table and looked at her current appearance in the mirror on the table.
Her pajamas were decorated with plaid patterns, the hairnet on her bun had not been taken off, and a white-green lace handkerchief was pinned to her chest.
The most important thing is that although the face of the woman in the mirror is familiar, she is not that old, and there are much fewer wrinkles between her eyebrows...
Professor McGonagall froze on the spot, speechless for a moment.
"Oh, Minerva, are you awake?" Elphistone Uquiart, whose hair had turned white, walked in from outside the bedroom, wearing an awkward apron with a delighted smile on his face, "Quickly Come try it, I made crème brûlée.”
"El..." Professor McGonagall looked at him blankly, with tears in her eyes.
Elphistone looked at his newlywed wife in confusion, wondering why she looked like this. After thinking for a while, he tentatively asked: "Is there anyone talking about you keeping the surname Mag?"
"Oh, don't worry about it. I don't think McGonagall is a Muggle surname, and Urquilt is a pure-blood surname... these are all messed up, I-"
Before he finished speaking, he saw a smile suddenly blooming on his wife's face, and he was stunned for a moment.
Professor McGonagall looked at the person in front of her. This was when they first got married. She knew that her husband would die from a poisonous tentacle accident three years later. As a mature professor, she certainly knew that history could not be changed.
But she is still grateful that fate has brought her back to this time, allowing her to relive the best three years of her life.
Mag said with a smile: "I just want to taste the pudding you made."
"Of course it's no problem... Oh, I mean, it might be a little mushy, but it tastes pretty good..."
…
The turbid mead liquid exudes complex aromas, including the alcoholic aroma of fermented wheat, the sweet aroma of wild honey, and the aroma of fusel alcohol produced during the fermentation process.
Even though she has tasted this taste countless times, Daisy still feels that this is the best wine she has ever drunk:
"When the four founders arrived in the different space, they were all shocked speechless by the scene before them... Over the course of hundreds of years, the magic of the Immortals polluted the different space into an unimaginable distortion, almost No living thing survives..."
"The fog that enveloped the entire world, the drifting acid rain clouds, the monsters made of twisted flesh and blood... The whole space was filled with strange and strange phenomena that made people uncomfortable. Just when the four of them were helpless, Hufflepuff penetrated the fantasy and saw the reality. Led the other three people to find the clues left by Merlin and Morgan."
"Please wait a moment, Ms. Doddridge..." Loren frowned and interrupted Ms. Doddridge's story, "Why did Merlin only leave clues? What about him? Did he die in a different space?"
He didn't believe that this legendary wizard who changed the world just disappeared. Judging from Ms. Doddridge's previous story, Merlin was able to assist three kings, and after killing the Immortal, he could continue to stalemate with others for decades. What do you think? Merlin saw through the limit of lifespan and gained eternal life like the immortals.
In the prison in another space, the Immortals definitely don't have the ability to surround and kill Merlin, otherwise they would have rushed out long ago.
Then why didn't Merlin stop the Immortals' abnormal movements in time, but instead just left clues for the Big Four to discover?
"No one knows Merlin's whereabouts..." Daixi stared at the turbid mead liquid, and after a moment of silence, he slowly shook his head, "Maybe he was killed by that Vivian, or maybe he and the kind-hearted person in the past lived forever. Like you, he is tired of his long life and chooses to understand himself, or maybe, as you said, he and Vivian are living happily somewhere."
"All I know is that after the four founders of Hogwarts came to a different space, they found Fairy Morgan's wand under a fruitful oak tree. The moment Ms. Hufflepuff touched the wand, The lights, shadows and memories buried in history emerged in front of the four founders, and they understood all the truth...
The four founders were different from Merlin. Their magic was more novel and had more possibilities... but they were still too young at that time and could not compete with the immortals who had accumulated hundreds or thousands of years of experience. "
"It sounds like it was an era not long after Hogwarts was established. Gryffindor and Slytherin haven't had a falling out yet, so they haven't fully grown up yet..."
Loren nodded, "However, if the four of them cooperate closely and add the death curse that has been spread, it's not impossible to fight, right?"
Daisy glanced at Loren's expectant expression and shook his head: "The experience of the Immortal has made them cooperate more closely. Not only that, there is a certain difference between the Death Curse that has been circulated and the magic used by Merlin to kill the Immortal. The magic is the four founders, and their magic is still some distance away from Merlin."
"The most troublesome thing is that the immortals who have been imprisoned for hundreds of years gradually fall into madness. In order to break through Merlin's time and space blockade, they try all kinds of forbidden magic on themselves and others, making the entire alien space a mess... They are in a strange place. The four founders of the environment were no match at all, so they could only support themselves hard and eventually fled."
"Ah, you can't beat them at all..." Loren muttered in a low voice, "I thought they could slowly annihilate these people with the help of friendship bonds or something, but in the end they also lost in the combination skills..."
"As I said before, no matter how great the wizard is, he is still a human being..." Daisy didn't have much worry on her face. She knew how things would develop. Justice would eventually defeat evil.
"After returning to the real world, the four founders woke up and could not confront the immortals head-on. They once again found the goblin king Legnac I, and with his help used Ravenclaw's crown, Hufflepuff The golden cup created a magic——
Using Ravenclaw's diadem to absorb the twisted and crazy consciousness of the immortals, and then using Hufflepuff's golden cup to obliterate them, this plan continued for many years and finally achieved complete victory. They never dreamed of any absurd scenes again, and the vessels used to explore dreams no longer connected to different spaces. "
Loren knew that things were not as simple as Ms. Doddridge told. The four founders completed the unfinished work of Merlin and Fairy Morgan. Judging from the path and method they chose, the four people made a new breakthrough in the magic of the soul. path of.
Ravenclaw's control of wisdom, Hufflepuff's unique gentleness... I just don't know what role Slytherin played in it.
As for Gryffindor?
Probably the Goblin King Legnac I was invited again.
"That is to say, the four founders failed to go to the different space to confirm the results of the victory..." Loren carefully sorted out what she said, "This method of handling is very smart and very Slytherin, but they cannot take the initiative to go deep into the different space. , no one knows the real situation... The Immortals are a group of scheming people."
Loren said, his tone gradually became serious unconsciously, and there was some worry on his face.
The main reason is that there is a Dark Lord in the real world, who may collude with the Immortals at any time and create a big trouble for the world... When the time comes, Principal Dumbledore will be the only one to rely on, and Loren is worried that he will not be able to withstand it.
After all, even Merlin and the four founders couldn't completely deal with those guys...
Daisy shook her head and explained: "It's just that there was no way to confirm it at the time, and Ravenclaw and Slytherin couldn't completely feel at ease... Later, they studied magic intensively, and in their later years, they learned about the astrology left by Fairy Morgan. Records, they once again opened the passage to another space."
"The minds of the immortals have completely disappeared, but they left a curse on their remaining bodies before they completely decayed. They claim that the curse will cause Muggles and wizards to encounter more serious disasters than the immortals in the future."
"If they were unable to cause such a disaster during their lifetime, then this curse sounds like an incompetent roar before death..." Loren said in a relaxed tone, his hanging heart falling back into his stomach, "And it's so far away from that Nearly a thousand years have passed, and the world is still in a good place."
Somewhat strangely, Daisy did not agree with him, but quietly drank a glass of wine: "They did set a curse, and they calculated the four founders."
"Huh?" Loren looked at her in shock.
"The immortals anticipated that the four founders would return to another space, so they hid their most vicious magic that pursued immortality in an imperceptible way, attached it to Ravenclaw's crown, and returned to reality. After the world, quickly disappeared and lurked.”
Daisy recalled his experience that year, "A few centuries later, this magic was obtained by an evil wizard. He spread the Black Death in an attempt to realize the mystery of immortality in endless death."
"The Black Death..." Loren opened his eyes wide and breathed a sigh of relief. He glanced at Daisy quietly and said tentatively, "I remember that Nico Flamel seemed to have solved this trouble..."
Loren said, suddenly stopped, a little stunned.
Daisy almost combed through the magic epic in front of him, and all the doubts that had arisen from studying the history of magic were answered. For example, why ancient magic was lost and disappeared, and the mystery of the fate of the immortals...
However, with the appearance of Nico Flamel, more doubts arose in his mind.
If the magic of immortality was destroyed and banned, where did the method of using the magic stone to refine the elixir of life come from?
Who is Abraham? Is he a former immortal?
Is it a good immortal who chooses self-understanding, or an evil immortal who participates in ruling the world?
What role does Mr. Nick Flamel play in this history?
Finally, Loren raised his eyes and looked at the creator of the Leaky Cauldron, Ms. Daisy Doddridge. Why was she, a 16th-century person, here?
"Yes, the magic left by the immortals has caused big trouble to this world... But looking at the entire history, the Black Death is only an insignificant page or two. Mr. Nico Flamel and the former Merlin, the former Hogg Like the four founders of Woz, he finally solved this big problem."
Daisy didn't seem to feel Loren's probing gaze, or she felt it but didn't care, "But that doesn't mean we are safe... After the Black Death, Muggles seemed to have broken free of the shackles of restraint and used They developed at an unprecedented speed, and by my time they had become the masters of the world."
"It sounds like...the Black Death is not a more serious disaster than the immortals, right?" Loren frowned slightly, "And did the four founders just let the curse go? According to Slytherin, Winclaw’s character, even if he thinks the curse is an incompetent rage, he will check it carefully, right?”
"In fact, Slytherin did use prophecy to glimpse the truth of the curse..." Daisy looked slightly dazed. After half a minute, he slowly came back to his senses and said in a deep voice with sharp eyes,
"That curse is a war that is destined to happen, a war in the distant future, a war between wizards and Muggles!"
"What's the meaning?"
Daisy said calmly: "Mr. Morgan, do you think Muggles and wizards can coexist harmoniously?"
"Should..." Loren thought carefully, but couldn't come up with any definite answer.
Dumbledore once asked him a similar question. At that time, he believed that the magical world was destined to be impacted by Muggle society, and wizards were destined to be transformed by Muggle ideas...
Looking at this issue now, I have new thoughts.
Any impact on transformation will produce conflict and resistance. If the resistance of wizards causes real harm to Muggles, and if the conflict continues to escalate...
"When I was young, I saw many tragedies between wizards and Muggles, so I built the Leaky Cauldron. I didn't have any too unrealistic delusions. I just wanted to allow wizards and Muggles to coexist harmoniously in this bar... …”
Daisy looked back at the bright lights in the front hall of the bar and said sadly: "But that's just a wish, there will only be one winner in the war...
If the wizard wins, Muggle blood will be imbued with magic, and the contract will make them slaves as lowly as house elves. If the Muggles win, the magic of wizards will be regarded as original sin, and wizards will need to endure various cruel punishments to atone for their sins. "
"This is just the worst case scenario..." Loren opened his mouth, but his words were not convincing at all.
Even in a world without magic, human beings will be divided into different camps just because of different skin colors, and violence and conflicts will never stop. Even in the 21st century, some people will still launch wars in the name of ethnic conflicts and massacre women and children of the other side without restraint.
War is an eternal theme in human history.
