Hogwarts: I'm really not the third Dark Lord

During a period in the Middle Ages, wizards suffered inhumane persecution.

Secular organizations, led by the church, launched a protracted "witch-hunting campaign."

Powerful wizards treat it as a joke, and some even deliberately get caught and enjoy the pleasure of being burned by the flames.

More young wizards who were weak or even unable to control their abilities were discovered, captured and burned to death.

Of course, wizards are not entirely innocent.

In that era without the "Law of Secrecy" and the Wizards' Federation, dark wizards arbitrarily captured and killed Muggles to conduct their evil magic experiments.

Many of the stories have been passed down to this day and have become a tool for parents to scare their children.

In that chaotic era where Muggles and Muggles, Muggles and wizards, wizards and wizards killed each other.

Four great wizards stepped forward.

Together they established Hogwarts to protect the little wizards; they built a wizard prison and filled it with their own hands to capture dark wizards.

They established the prototype of the modern magic system. As Hogwarts' influence in the magic world grew, it eventually replaced the dark and cruel ancient magic and became the mainstream of the magic world.

When Hogwarts was founded, there was nothing left to do, and they could not take good care of every little wizard they discovered.

So the outstanding alchemist Rowena Ravenclaw created something called the Forbidden Necklace.

It can perfectly conceal the magic fluctuations on the wizard's body, making him look no different from a Muggle.

When they find a young wizard who has just awakened his magic power but are too late to take him away, they will give him such a necklace to prevent him from being discovered by the church or villagers.

When several magic-forbidden necklaces are combined together, they can also release a powerful magic called [Silence].

It can expel all magic factors within a certain range and form a magic vacuum.

In this way, even if they encounter a dark wizard who takes pleasure in killing people, they will still have a certain degree of resistance.

They used this method to protect many young wizards. It was not until the Hogwarts system gradually improved and a system was established to discover and guide young wizards that the Forbidden Necklace gradually withdrew from the stage of history...

As an organization founded by the four founders, it is normal for the Truth Society to retain a few magic-forbidden necklaces.

It is precisely because of this kind of thing that Ivan and the others dare to carry out the "Superpower Project" openly.

Make a magic item that can release a shield and small lightning into an inconspicuous shape and hang it on the magic-forbidden necklace, so no one can find out the clues.

Even if the necklace accidentally falls off during the battle, Woods is still a genuine Muggle and will not show any flaws.

It can be said that Ivan and the others have considered every aspect of their plan very carefully, except for one thing - they know nothing about the real power.

If the original plan is followed, Dumbledore only needs to put a small magic mark on Woods, and he will be able to catch them all in a few hours.

Ivan and the others also thought of this and couldn't help but feel happy.

"Sir, what should we do now? Clear his memory?"

As long as Woods does not appear in people's sight for a long time, people will naturally think that he was killed by the lizard man.

With such a threat, Muggles will not have inappropriate thoughts because of the appearance of "superpowers". On the contrary, they will be more demanding of wizards, and the cooperation and connection between the two will be closer.

It can be said that except for some big shots who may not be able to sleep well for a period of time, this is the best way to deal with it.

Although killing Woods here is the most foolproof plan, Jerry can't commit the act of killing innocent people indiscriminately, so he can only settle for the next best thing and choose to erase his memory...

"and many more!"

At this moment, Ace spoke.

"Sir, instead of erasing his memory, it is better to accept him into our Truth Society."

Jerry heard this and looked over: "He should be just an ordinary person, right? What do you want him for?"

Isn't it used for some extremely evil human experiments?

"This man is very talented in the training of ancient knights. I think he can be trained into a knight of truth."

"Knight of Truth? What is that?"

After listening to Ace's explanation, Jerry learned.

In the Middle Ages, supernatural and secular forces were not as distinct as they are today.

The magic at that time was different from the current spells that are mainly short and fast. It was more like the Master described in the novel.

It is very powerful, but it requires a long time of chanting.

Therefore, there is also a melee wizard school, holding a staff in one hand and a sword in the other. During the duel, add the power and agility skills, and just charge straight away.

The most powerful and well-known melee wizard is Gryffindor.

For a period of time, traditional wizards were beaten down by these melee wizards who did not respect martial ethics.

So some traditional wizards came up with a way. They recruited a group of strong Muggles, transformed their bodies with potions and spells, and then dressed them in rune armor engraved with magic words.

The knights trained in this way are just like human tanks, and are called guardian knights by the wizards.

Melee wizards who lack powerful attack methods have no way to deal with these people.

As guardian knights became popular among wizards, any wizard would take a few with him when he went out. The genre of melee wizards also declined until it disappeared in the long river of history.

Although Gryffindor is the strongest melee wizard, he is not just a melee wizard.

In fact, he has high attainments in magic spells, transformation, and magic writing.

When the Guardian Knight first appeared, he was keenly aware of its potential.

At that time, Hogwarts was in the midst of internal and external troubles. Externally, the church, the Presbyterian Church, and the Muggle nobles all regarded it as a thorn in their side and wanted to get rid of it quickly.

Inside, the first batch of students have not graduated yet, so there are very few available people, and many informants have been planted by other forces.

Gryffindor combined his own swordsmanship, fighting skills, and potions developed by Slytherin to train what could be said to be the strongest group of guardian knights at the time.

In order to distinguish them from other guardian knights, Gryffindor called them the Knights of Truth.

In that chaotic era, the Knights of Truth went into battle and fought bloody battles, saving the crumbling Hogwarts countless times.

Later, as Hogwarts' status gradually became more stable, the Knight of Truth's protection was no longer needed.

The training of each Knight of Truth requires a huge amount of resources. In order to save money, Hogwarts canceled this establishment.

The soldiers of those days gradually grew old, and until they died, their armors were still kept at the stairwells of Hogwarts for all students to admire.

After hearing these secrets, Jerry couldn't help but be in awe.

Is there such a story about those rattling armors that can be seen on every floor of Hogwarts?

He seemed to have seen 1000 years ago, when Muggles and wizards were under the same roof. In order to protect their homeland, they joined forces to fight against countless enemies...

Jerry pondered for a moment: "Yes, but you have to ask him for his own opinion and don't force him."

"Of course!" Ace smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed, "I never force others. Don't you know best, Mr. Huishou?"

"..."

Jerry was silent. When they invited him to be the so-called "head of the meeting", they did not force him. After being rejected, they let Jerry leave.

But Jerry always had a feeling that the Truth Society was not as harmless as it seemed on the surface. Even in this incident, it was hard to tell whether they were behind it. Otherwise, how could they have appeared so promptly?

Even if he has to become the so-called "leader" now, the apparent leader of the Truth Society must be more vigilant against this group of people.

Jerry warned himself secretly.

……

……

Woods suddenly woke up from his nightmare.

In the dream, he gained superpowers and learned about his lofty mission.

He stood on a high place and called on people to unite to fight against the lizard people.

As expected, the lizard man would not appear at this time.

As long as they don't show up, maybe some people will believe him, but more people will just laugh at him as the ravings of a madman.

Unexpectedly, the lizard man actually dared to brave the disapproval of the world and appear in front of so many people.

He was proud of his strong physique and superpowers, but he was as weak as a baby in front of the lizard people.

He was knocked unconscious instantly.

Before he fainted, he seemed to see an old man protecting him...

"you're awake?"

came a kind voice.

"who is it?!"

Woods almost bounced.

Only then did he realize that the soft body beneath him seemed to be placed on a bed.

"You can call me 'Odin', the successor of Zeus..."

A kind-faced old man with a white beard appeared in front of him, looking at him with a smile.

"Odin...well, I want to know what happened that day!"

"You are too impulsive, the descendant of Zeus." Ace, who used the pseudonym Odin, shook his head, "The power of the lizard people is not as simple as you see. They can even erase the memories of everyone in a city in an instant. Even if I kill you in front of all London, no one will remember it."

"Then how did I escape?" Woods frowned. He remembered that he was subdued by that hateful lizard man almost instantly. But looking at the current situation, he was obviously no longer in the hands of the lizard man.

A trace of sadness flashed in the old man's eyes: "Zeus used his last strength to fight the lizard man, and after repelling it, he handed you over to me..."

"By the way, Zeus...master..."

Woods finally figured out where the dissonance he had been feeling came from.

The voice that had been nagging in his head had actually been quiet for such a long time.

"Master...Master..."

Woods desperately called in his mind, imagining that the old man would appear in front of him again.

"It's useless..." Odin looked at him sadly.

"Zeus temporarily defeated the lizard men at the cost of burning his own soul. His soul has completely disappeared from this world..."

"I don't believe it! You must be lying to me!"

Woods suddenly raised his head and roared, his expression extremely ferocious.

His master is the legendary God King Zeus!How could he die at the hands of an ordinary lizard man?

"Actually, you feel it too, right?" Odin said with a look of reluctance, "The old man who suddenly appears in front of you and saves you is your master Zeus!"

"master……"

Hearing this, tears flowed down his cheeks uncontrollably.

"That was the first time I saw Master in the real world... He wasn't as domineering as I imagined... But he felt kind and friendly, just like grandpa..."

The corner of Odin's mouth twitched and he said in a deep voice: "Successor of Zeus, now you have two choices."

Woods looked at him without saying a word.

"The first option is that now that Zeus and his power seeds have dissipated and you have become an ordinary person again, I can erase your memories from this period of time, change your appearance, and find a place to live again..."

"I choose two." Woods said expressionlessly. He had already felt that after waking up this time, he would no longer be able to use his previous superpowers.

After such a magnificent experience, how could he willingly go back to the past?

"Don't be too busy choosing yet," Odin said, "Listen to me -"

"The second option is to join the Divine Guards."

"God Guards? What is that?"

"In the age of the gods, ordinary people, after experiencing unimaginable experiences, can choose to climb Mount Olympus, become a member of the Divine Guards, and fight for the gods——"

"Can becoming a divine guard give me the power to fight the lizardmen?"

Woods asked.

Odin hesitated for a moment: "The most powerful God Guard can only compete with the most ordinary lizard people..."

"This is enough!"

Woods said without hesitation, "Let me join the Divine Guard!"

"You have to think carefully. To become a divine guard, you have to go through dozens of body transformations, during which you will endure unimaginable pain..."

Woods interrupted him and forced out a sarcastic smile: "No matter how unbearable the pain is, it can't compare to the heartache I feel now..."

"..."

Odin put a recording pen into his pocket, which was what Jerry requested, confirming that Woods' joining the Truth Society was completely voluntary.

Although I only intercepted the middle section, this is a real recording and there is nothing wrong with it!

After doing all this, he rarely felt a little sorry for Woods.

"But it's also to save the world!"

……

……

The next day, the Ministry of Magic.

Dumbledore sat in the guest hall, dealing with the constant flow of visitors.

Now that Fudge's whereabouts are unknown and even in danger, the person most qualified to take over as minister is probably the old man in front of him.

As a result, many people's minds immediately became active. Some of them simply wanted to become familiar with Dumbledore, while others thought more deeply.

Dumbledore has repeatedly declared that he prefers the position of Headmaster of Hogwarts to Minister of Magic.

They felt that this time was probably no exception.

The most important thing now is how to show Dumbledore that he is the one who can best implement his will.

Just like Fudge once did.
