An infinite journey that begins at Hogwarts

The dark sky shrouds the earth, and today is the day of darkness. This is what the silver humans on the ground call a specific time since the sun, moon and stars reset their rising and setting times.

On this day, the sun only rises for two hours, and the moon and stars are completely hidden. Only the towering temples bring limited brilliance, but how can these brilliance be compared with the sun and the moon?

That is to say, now is the Silver Age. Due to the gifts of the gods, lush food can easily grow on the ground, so there is no direct death. However, as this celestial phenomenon continues, it seems that the goddess of agriculture cannot maintain the current situation. of grain production.

Achilles adjusted his shoulder straps and pulled the leather armor that was completely pierced. His handsome face was expressionless as he passed through the frightened crowd and headed towards the temple of Athena.

This is the city of Athena. It was originally a glorious, free, and prosperous city. But now the marble buildings are still magnificent, but they look pale and dilapidated without the light of the sun and the moon. The fruits on the grape vines are sour and astringent, and they have become serious. Affecting the economy and life of this legendary city.

The orators all around stood on a simple high platform on the roadside and spoke impassionedly, "The Mycenaeans and Phoenicians are at war. Now their warships have almost enveloped the eastern route of the Aegean Sea. We We should help the Mycenaeans defeat the red-purple Phoenicians, so that we can not only reopen the route, but also obtain the Phoenicians' share of the grape and olive trade..."

A young man below said with confusion and confusion, "But hasn't our city of Athens always been known for its peace and neutrality? How can we help one kingdom defeat another kingdom?"

An old man beside him pulled the young man's sleeve and whispered, "Child, times have changed. I don't know how long the change will last. We need more grapes and olive planting land to maintain Athens." The Mycenaeans, who are prosperous but not good at farming and have no direct territory bordering ours, are more worthy of our help."

Achilles' pace quickened a bit, and suddenly the earth began to shake violently. Everyone was lying on the ground as usual, praying for forgiveness from Gaia, the mother goddess of the earth. Achilles, who stood out from the crowd, and Wang Guiyi and others beside him She suddenly seemed a little isolated, and an old woman suddenly scolded, "Those foreigners, why don't you kneel down on the ground quickly and pray for forgiveness from the Mother Goddess of Earth? Do you want to hurt us?"

At this time, the crowd, which had been like sheep before, started talking in low voices, and then the voices became louder and louder, converging into curses, "Get out of the city of Athens, you guys who don't know how to fear the gods!"

A broken clay pot depicting the praises of the gods hit Achilles from nowhere, but the latter did not resist or dodge, letting the pot hit him, and then used Wang Guiyi, who was covered in blood. Shield squeezed through the crowd and walked quickly to the temple of Athena. The crowd of curses and chases gradually dispersed.

Under the guidance of the priest, several people came to the Parthenon Square. Cedric and Athena stood side by side. The golden light lit up the place like the Kingdom of God. They looked at the entire city of Athens, as if The two clay sculptures, even though their brilliance is enough to illuminate half of the world, are still limited to this place and refuse to show any mercy to mortals.

Wang Guiyi looked at the teacher he admired before with a complicated expression. In just a few years, although the teacher's appearance had not changed at all, he couldn't believe it because he had changed so much. Or maybe it was said that his teacher had always been like this, but he only recognized it now. Be clear about His part.

Cedric turned his head, looked at Wang Guiyi, whose shoulders were becoming more generous, and said, "Are you very disappointed? I am not as perfect as you imagined. Boys who slay dragons eventually become evil dragons, and I am the same, so I was right in the beginning." You said, maybe you could take a different path.”

Wang Guiyi did not directly question why Cedric did this. He sighed, "At least you told me the complete story and let me know that all disasters originated from you."

Cedric shook his head and looked at Achilles, "What you did in Athens was completely unnecessary. It seemed like you were trying to atone for our sins."

"So you mean you don't need atonement at all?" Achilles' voice was calm, but with an unspeakable sarcasm.

Cedric rubbed his brows, "So sometimes Angers' three-dimensional education is too good, which is also a trouble."

Athena, the goddess of wisdom beside him, suddenly said, "Have you ever considered that going to the most dangerous places and killing all kinds of demons is part of our plan?"

"What do you mean?" Achilles frowned and twisted his eyebrows into the Chinese character "Chuan".

"It means that you don't have absolute power, and what seems like redemption has become a part of our plan. We need the various legendary deeds you left in the world to help us achieve a certain goal."

Cedric looked at the silent people and continued to explain, "The reason why we are telling you now is for two purposes. First, the planners of this plan are me and Athena, so even if you are being manipulated, There is no serious problem, but your enemies in the future are not like Athena and I, so you must control your emotions reasonably. Even mercy, redemption and justice can be bargaining chips in the hands of the superior. Complete each step. A bigger conspiracy."

After hearing Cedric's words, Wang Guiyi and the others suddenly felt completely distorted in their outlook. Was their salvation all along also part of their teacher's plan?

Achilles clenched the golden short spear in his hand, "What about the second one?"

"Second, we will give you a chance to save the world from the crisis in front of you..."

"I refuse." Achilles said directly, "In the dragon world, I have also faced despair and know how to compromise, but this does not mean that I will become your means to fool the world. If we do not save the world , it’s you two who should be more worried.”

Cedric shook his head, "Although Ange's education is good, his level is still a little low. Do you know why he calls himself an Avenger? Because he has never been able to play chess. Even if you don't help us subjectively, Can you really get rid of fate? The fate of Achilles in you is the main theme of this era. Presumably, you who have experienced the world of dragons should know what fate and despair are. Your current disobedience is nothing more than turning the mortal world into reality. Amplifying the disaster to a higher level does no harm to Athena and I, because the beginning of the matter is already in our hands, without the intervention of a more powerful existence, and the result is also in our hands, but the process may be more painful. Just a little.”

Wang Gui looked at the teacher in front of him, who had a silent expression and used all living beings as pawns. He took a deep breath and said, "Teacher, you didn't call us here today just to preach, right? This is not your character."

Cedric nodded without arguing, "In addition to letting you come here today to teach you a final lesson, I also want to tell you that you are not chess pieces, at least not completely compared to those at the foot of the mountain. "

"What do you mean?"

"One of you has the qualifications of a human emperor, and the other has the qualifications of a god king, which means that you have the ability to jump out of our chessboard and become real chess players. Only when you actually play chess will you be qualified to redefine the rules of this world."

Then he said with a self-deprecating tone, "Perhaps at that time, you will also become a dragon like us."

Achilles stared at Cedric in front of him, and then said, "I know."
