Librarian at Hogwarts

"This big guy didn't expect to be so afraid of my Ring of Alsimon."

Neil looked at the fantasy turtle in his hand and said with a smile.

"Alsimon is the god in charge of illusions."

"According to legend, the Phantom Turtle is the creature that Alsimon raised."

Bastida spoke of allusions from the history of magic.

She speculated that the Ring of Alsimon's restraining effect on the Phantom Turtle must be far beyond their imagination.

It might just have a suppressive effect like a natural enemy.

"Do you think there are really gods in this world?"

Mag didn't pay attention to the Phantom Turtle or the Ring of Alsimon, but she paid special attention to the topic of gods.

This question is actually a very interesting question.

Igno is familiar with the history of magic, and he knows that gods are mentioned in many places.

However, Igno firmly believes that those so-called gods are nothing more than powerful wizards or creatures that have mastered some kind of power.

"I don't quite agree with this point of view."

Basilida unexpectedly put forward her own idea.

"There are rules for everything."

"The creation of gods must follow certain natural rules."

"They may not necessarily be strong on their own, but they may be derived from nature or rules and order."

This debate.

It made Neil feel confused again.

"God?"

"What is that?"

"I always thought that gods were just fairy tales told to children before going to bed in the middle of the night."

"I think the things you argue about every day are really making me want to turn into a 'nerve'."

After hearing Neil's complaints.

All three laughed.

The three continued on their way.

Along the way, Mag and Bathida will still be discussing things about the gods.

In the current magical world, no one can prove the existence of gods.

However, there are clear records of gods in many ancient books.

Most of them are described as representatives of some mysterious power, or as totems of a clan.

"There are even some gods who will actively choose Muggles—human beings without magical power—to obtain offerings from them."

Bathida spoke.

"Are these gods really not wizards or other creatures?" Mag asked tangledly.

"I have reason to believe that there must be gods."

I don’t know why, but Bascida seems to be very sure.

"However, they have all disappeared now...for some reason."

Ignat listened to their conversation in front of him.

Interjected.

"The so-called gods."

"I think it's just some people who like to pretend to be gods and ghosts to fool those ignorant mortals."

This sentence was met with a rare roll of eyes from Basilda.

But Bascida did not continue to argue with Igno.

Because this itself is a very controversial matter.

The presence or absence of gods.

That was a sensational event that could change the origin of the entire wizarding world.

For a long time, as the wizarding world has continued to integrate and communicate with Muggle society, even many Muggles have the ability to perform magic.

As a result, more and more wizards began to think.

What exactly is the source of magic's power?

It's blood.

It is a gift from nature.

Do so-called gods really exist?

Yes, the theory of gods has always been the most controversial theory in the wizarding world.

Many wizards who believe that Merlin is the origin of wizards also believe that Merlin is a god and anyone with his bloodline can possess magical power.

The emergence of this statement was initially agreed by many pure-blood wizards.

Because, in this way, they can show the nobility of their bloodline - originating from the purest bloodline.

However, there is no denying that magical powers can also appear in Muggles who have never had a relationship with wizards.

At first, this was generally unacceptable to pure-blood wizards who firmly believed in the power of blood in the doctrine of gods.

They felt insulted.

Because magic should only be mastered by noble bloodlines like theirs.

With continuous evolution, more and more Muggle wizards and half-blood wizards are growing.

They began to try to change the bloodline theory in the doctrine of gods.

They also agree that Merlin is a god, but they feel that magical power does not come from blood.

Rather, it comes from gifts, or from absorbing certain natural rules, or from being chosen by the gods.

Once this idea opens up.

It can be said that various theories are on the paper.

Countless wizards began to claim that they had confirmed the source of the wizard's power, although many of them were later proven to have large and small doubts.

But it has to be said that these theories began to promote the progress of the wizarding world.

The wizards began to think about the source of power.

Igno said nothing more along the way.

However, he has actually been thinking about the relationship between gods and the source of power.

What Bascida said, Ignat had also seen in many ancient books.

However, he really couldn't accept that an unknown creature could control his own destiny casually.

If there really are gods.

So, doesn't it mean that your future will always be in its hands?

This is not what Igno feels is right.

Igno feels that fate is just an excuse for losers, and the strong will never believe in the theory of fate.

Just after this discussion on the topic of gods ended.

The four have come a long way.

However, looking at the location marked on the map, it seemed that it would take at least three days to reach the ruins.

So, when the sky darkens.

Basilda and Mag took out their tents from their bags that had been enchanted with space extension spells.

They found a place that seemed safer and settled down.

Igno and Neil finished casting various protective spells outside, and then they entered the tent.

"Wow, this pot of thick soup is so delicious."

Neil tasted Basilda's craftsmanship and couldn't help but let out an exclamation of surprise.

"Well, I stewed this with a live chicken."

Bascida smiled, then opened the lid of the pot and took out the ingredients inside.

"There are also mushrooms and wild vegetables in it."

Mag was also there to help with the dishes.

Inside the ring on Basilda's hand were many fresh plants, enough for her to use for a while.

She took out a fish, roasted it on the fire, and then put it into the basin.

"Let's have a bowl of soup first."

Bascida said: "You can eat grilled fish later..."

"This soup is delicious."

Neil admired, and after taking a sip of the soup, his cheeks suddenly swelled.

He couldn't help but take a few more sips of the soup, and patted his belly with satisfaction.

"how did you do that?"

Neil asked.

Bascida shook her head: "I figured this out myself, you can try it..."

"Basi, you figured it out yourself?"

Neil blinked.

"Yes!"

Bascida nodded, then looked at Igno and smiled: "What do you think, Igno."

Igno originally didn't like soup.

But under Basilida's enthusiasm, he took a small taste.

I have to say, this tastes really delicious.

Igno took a sip and immediately wanted to take a second sip.

"It seems that we may eat a lot of delicious food in the future!"
