Travel from Hogwarts

Professors at Hogwarts cannot be treated simply by hearing.

Each one of them is a master with real knowledge.

"Ahem, cough, cough, I seem to have digressed a little. Let's get back to the topic," Professor Binns smiled, then changed the topic and continued.

"I'm afraid we have no way of verifying the earliest wizard recorded in historical books. However, according to the existing historical records, the earliest race to use magic was the Egyptians."

"Actually, there are some records about magic in the legends of various nations. For example, there is such a passage in Greek mythology, which describes in detail the ability of God King Zeus to turn into a lion. If this is true, So theoretically, this should be the earliest Animagus." Professor Binns continued.

"Zeus? Isn't Zeus the king of gods in Greek mythology? Zeus is a wizard?" This passage piqued Drinker's interest. He wanted to listen carefully to this kind of mythological story that was similar to an extra story.

"Actually, there are records about gods all over the world and in various countries. If there is nothing, then these myths are likely to be the earliest magic." Drinker wanted to continue to listen carefully, but Professor Binns made a U-turn. , turning Greek Zeus into an Egyptian mummy…………

"But among the many myths and histories, the title wizard is only mentioned in Egyptian historical books. In the Egyptian Sunday Bible, there is such a passage, the wizard: turns the staff into snakes and the river water into blood."

"That's what the original words said. If this record is true, then the wizard who cast the spell at that time should be a very powerful wizard, because these spells are still very powerful magic even today." Professor Binns The conversation changed and turned directly to Egypt.

"Of course, in the UK, we also have many records of magical deeds, such as the greatest magician in the UK, Master Merlin." Just after talking about Egypt, Professor Binns changed the topic again without even a twist. On to Merlin.

"Merlin?" A llama flew through Drinker's mind. He should have guessed it earlier. How could the history of magic, or the history of British magic, be without Merlin?

In fact, Merlin, a legendary person, is a household name in Britain. He is a great figure in both the Muggle world and the wizarding world.

"The Archmage Merlin is King Arthur's advisor and the prophet of magicians. You should all have heard of his name." Hearing this, Drinker felt a little helpless. Professor Binns seemed to be a Merlin fan, and his deeds have not yet been told. Licking a wave.

"Merlin is probably the most famous magician Britain has ever produced. And he appears in many of our favorite legends."

"According to known literature, Master Merlin can use his wand and magic power reasonably, and this also allows him to often help King Arthur win the war."

"There are documented records that Master Merlin can turn himself into a hunting dog or a stag. This is a very profound spell, and this is not an Animagus, but a very ancient form of transformation." Professor Binns continued.

The legendary Archmage Merlin naturally has more than this ability. As far as Drinker knows, there is more than this.

"He can also predict the future and control people's destiny, and this magic should be the great prophecy." Sure enough, Professor Binns then talked about another ability of the Archmage Merlin.

Moreover, when Professor Binns mentioned the great prophecy, his tone immediately changed.

Regarding prophecy, Drinker knows more. For example, Hogwarts now has a very powerful linguist. Yes, it is Professor Trelawney. To be fair, this professor is Drinker. The professor I want to meet the most, in fact, her words are the beginning of the whole story.

It seems a little off topic, let's go back to class. Drinker thought Professor Binns would continue to tell some legends about Merlin, but apparently he thought too much, because next, Professor Binns started to explain Merlin's past.

"What we are going to learn today is the story of Merlin. Like many great figures, the Archmage Merlin also had a pair of outstanding parents. His mother was a princess of a kingdom, and that kingdom itself had a very powerful wizard. So Master Merlin’s mother knew a lot of magic since she was a child, "

"However, compared to Master Merlin's father, his mother's identity is not that important. Because Master Merlin's father is not a human being, but an evil devil. They look like this," said Binns. The professor stretched out his blue palm and directly used his blue soul to embody the appearance of the devil.

"Devil?" Drinker was really surprised this time. He looked around. Sure enough, none of the little wizards around him seemed to have heard of this story.

"Is there really a devil in the world?" Drinker couldn't believe it.

"The devil race is actually some kind of evil ghost life form. Of course you can also call it nightmare. Of course, the nightmare race no longer exists, but according to history, we know that the nightmare race does exist. They are in the world. There was an active period in the fourteenth century," continued Professor Binns.

When Professor Binns manifested the nightmare, Drinker understood that the appearance of the nightmare was completely different from its name. The nightmare was not ugly. On the contrary, it was a little bit sacred. Yes, the nightmare was long. He is very handsome, at least he looks handsome to Drinker, with a high nose bridge, tall body, etc. Why does this nightmare look so Asian.

Yes, Drinker looked very familiar to Nightmare.

"Nightmares are definitely evil, but Master Merlin did not inherit the characteristics of nightmares. Instead, he inherited his mother's kindness and justice." Professor Binns Ji Xi said.

"Kindness and justice?" This sentence caught Drink off guard. Moreover, he didn't think Master Merlin was just. He killed many people!

"When Master Merlin was still a child, he showed his unique talent. His unusual talent did not make him popular. On the contrary, he got into trouble. The story begins with the British King Woti in the 15th century. Root, King Vortigern at that time wanted to build a tower, but failed. "Just when Drinker raised his interest, Professor Binns actually changed the topic again. He, he actually told the story .

"Because no matter how hard his soldiers worked during the day, the tower would turn into ruins at night. So King Vortigern asked his magician for a way to deal with it. The magician said that the tower should be built before the tower was built. The blood of a child was added to the lime, and the father of the child must not be human. In this way, in order to find such a child, the king launched a large number of envoys. With the continuous efforts of the envoys, they soon discovered that the nightmare possessed Merlin's blood, so he was taken by them and brought to the king."

"Merlin was only 7 years old at the time, but after he met the king, he changed the king's mind. The seven-year-old Merlin accurately explained why the tower collapsed every day because the tower was built on a piece of underground water. At the same time, he It was also predicted that if the groundwater was drained, two dragons would be seen sleeping in the two hollow boulders. The king didn't believe it at first, and then he locked up Master Merlin, but he also sent people to check. , the people who came back told him that there was indeed a river under the tower, and then the king began to send people to pump out the underground water. After the water was drained, two giant dragons appeared underwater. It turned out that Merlin's words were not wrong, so the king Let Merlin go." Professor Binns spoke more and more vigorously, and when he said this, his voice became several points louder.

"Later, after the death of King Vortigern, Master Merlin became the advisor of the kingdom, and since then, Master Merlin has been the advisor of three generations of kings of the kingdom. These three kings are Aurelius and Uther. kings, and most famously, King Arthur, son of King Uther.”

"People in later generations believe that during the reign of Aurelius, Merlin moved Britain's national treasure, the prehistoric Stonehenge, from Ireland to Britain through magic. This is not groundless, because at that time, King Aurelius wanted to build For a large monument, he begged Master Merlin for help, and after Merlin took a look at the site, he chose a place in Ireland that is rich in stones. This place is called "The Dance of Giants" in Ireland. People believe that giant stones have special effects. Because , the boulders there are unusually heavy." Professor Binns continued.

It was obvious that he was about to tell another story.
