"There are only five families with such surnames that have been passed down to this day, and our Huo family is one of them.

Huo Bufan said proudly that there are many families like theirs, but there are very few that can be passed down from thousands of years to the present day.

"Since you have your own clan school, why did you go to this United Academy? It doesn't sound like the Huo clan school."

Hope was keenly aware of something unusual.

When Huo Bufan heard this, his arrogant expression suddenly froze and he collapsed.

"Strictly speaking, this is also our clan school, but it is a joint academy with four other surnames. Our Huo family is also a member of the board of directors."

"It sounds like he's just a director, so which surname is in charge here?"

"Uh...neither. The dean of the academy is a wizard who was born a commoner."

Huo Bufan said hesitantly, as if it was a shame for him to say this.

Hope immediately stared at Huo Bufan with some suspicion. This sounded...as if it was different from the glory of the family name he just mentioned.

Huo Bufan glanced around to make sure no one was eavesdropping on their conversation, and explained:"Although the dean was born a commoner, he is a genius that is rare in a thousand years and the most powerful wizard today."

At first, Hope thought the other party was talking about Dumbledore.

"More than forty years ago, the dean appeared out of nowhere and led a group of white wizards to overwhelm the five clans, establish the Wizards Union, integrate the power of the entire magic world, and serve as the first president of the Wizards Union. Later, he asked the five major clans to hand over their clan schools, run schools in a unified manner, and share magic equally regardless of status."

Huo Bufan whispered mysteriously.

Hope was a little surprised and interrupted:"How come this is completely different from what you just said, didn't you say that the clans are powerful? The combined power of the five clans can be overturned by a group of white wizards?!"

In this case, he almost believed what he said just now.

"I also think it's impossible, but that's how it is."

Huo Bufan said very aggrievedly. In fact, he still wants to understand how he was overturned in the past, but this is a secret of the older generation, and he is not qualified to know.

From Huo Bufan's narration, Hope also understood the situation of the magic world in his hometown. In short, the five clans are powerful, but they are being ridden on by an ordinary wizard. Although they have been suppressing clan privileges in recent years with the intention of equal rights, they have not been wiped out. The five major clans still have considerable power in the magic world today.

"So your father will be the head of the Huo family in the future, what about you?"

Hope asked casually. It sounded like Huo Bufan was indeed of noble status and the son of the future patriarch.

"I am the fifth child."

Yes! After hearing what Huo Bufan said, Hope immediately knew that Huo Bufan's most honorable identity in the future would be the son of the clan leader at most, and the position of the head of the family had nothing to do with him.

"Okay, in that case, then I'll take your uncle for a good walk. Are there any shops here?"

Hope didn't forget his original plan and put his arm around Huo Bufan's shoulders. Although Huo Bufan was so arrogant before, how could an uncle like him bother with a junior?

"There is none in the academy... but there is one in the nearby ruins of the old capital." Huo Bufan was not used to being hugged by his"uncle" who just wanted to silence him. His body twisted unconsciously, but he was firmly held by Hope and could not break free.

The ruins of the old capital was the gathering place for wizards located in the old palace.

According to Huo Bufan, it was the most prosperous gathering place, gathering more than ten thousand wizards.

The Wizarding Union was there, and there were four departments under the Union, namely the four departments of etiquette, labor, civil and criminal justice, which together formed the Ministry of Magic in his hometown.

Hope nodded. It would be easier if he went there, but it was not bad to come here. At least he had one more relative, even if it was only a blood relative, but he had no choice but to let the other person cry to recognize him. He looked down at the clothes on his body. This outfit was obviously not suitable. With a thought, the clothes on his body changed immediately. In a blink of an eye, he was like Huo Bufan, wearing a gray gown with another set of clothes inside.

"How did you do that?"

Huo Bufan couldn't help but widen his eyes when he saw this.

"Transfiguration, don't you teach that here?" Hope answered casually.

"But you didn't chant any spells!" Huo Bufan was very puzzled and asked

"Wandless and silent spellcasting, don't you teach that here too?"

Hope said with a puzzled look on his face, feeling that the kid was making a fuss out of nothing.

Huo Bufan blushed when he heard that, but he couldn't complain. Of course he knew, but this was Transfiguration! It was not an ordinary spell. He had never heard of any student being able to do it so easily. Besides, Hope was a few years younger than him...

After changing his clothes, Hope was ready to go to the ruins of the old capital. He took Huo Bufan's arm with one hand, and the next moment, the two figures disappeared.

Huo Bufan looked at everything in front of him blankly, a little dazed. He naturally knew where this was? But how did he appear here all of a sudden from the United Academy? Could it be that he had just been cast a spell of forgetfulness and lost his memory?!

He stared at Hope with wide eyes and looked at him in disbelief. Was this really his cousin whom he had never met?

At this moment, he had to suspect that the jade pendant of the clan was damaged, otherwise it could not explain all this.

"How did you do it? The United Academy prohibits the use of Apparition magic!"

Huo Bufan asked in a voiceless voice. He was eager to know the answer and held Hope's arm tightly with one hand.

"Maybe what you teach here is different from what we teach here."

Hope perfunctorily replied, but his eyes were sweeping around. This place seemed to have maintained its old appearance, just like an old palace.

In the distance, there were tall palaces standing in rows, but here was an ancient street, with bluestone paved on the ground and old-style buildings built on both sides. It seemed to be quite old. At first glance, it seemed like one had traveled back to ancient times. There were many wizards walking on the street, but their uniforms were different from those of the students in the academy. Some wore Muggle clothes, and some wore silk clothes like wealthy officials in ancient times.

He was full of joy and immediately took Huo Bufan to wander around.

Soon he was dazzled. The things here were completely different from those in Diagon Alley.

Even the wands were of various kinds, and many of them were modeled after ancient styles.

There were whisks, brushes, hair buns and even Zen sticks, and these were all wands that could cast magic.

"In order to conceal their identities, ancient wizards naturally tried their best to make their wands into something that would not arouse suspicion and could be carried with them. It is said that many people at that time would pretend to be Taoist monks in order to carry their wands.

However, these were just for the sake of novelty and were not practical."

Huo Bufan directly acted as a tour guide. Looking at Hope's fussing appearance, he secretly despised him in his heart, but of course he did not dare to show it.
