Ancient wizards return to Hogwarts.

After Les finished his opening remarks, he stopped talking and focused on eating the delicious food brought by the waiter.

I have to say that the meal Helga ordered was quite good. The tuna in the seafood platter was quite plump, and the lobster in the lobster soup was crispy and refreshing. You could tell that they were freshly cooked from live shrimps as soon as you took a bite.

The quality of seafood on the cruise ship under the protection of Poseidon is really good.

The other meals also had their own merits, making Rice exclaim that they were worth the money.

On the other hand, under Zeus's lobbying, Godric and Helga gradually stopped talking.

Zeus once said something very true: the existence of gods and evil spirits is a good thing for wizards.

Gods, evil spirits, wizards, and Muggles form a very interesting ecosystem.

The gods need the worship of Muggles, but they will also provide them with shelter, so that they have ways and means to deal with evil spirits. Wizards are sandwiched between the gods and Muggles, acting as a lubricant.

They can help Muggles get rid of evil spirits, and restrain the gods, so that they dare not do the crazy behavior of devouring Muggles' vitality to restore their strength. At the same time, wizards need the gods to be the sword of Damocles hanging over the heads of Muggles to prevent Muggles from crossing the river and destroying the bridge.

In this system, evil spirits are pure villains, the gods are high above, and wizards play the role of friends of Muggles.

Obviously, the wizards won hugely this time and became one of the biggest winners.

Although Godric and Helga hated the gods headed by Zeus, in the face of the overall situation, they decided to restrain their likes and dislikes and be rational.

"So, can we be friends?"

Godric and Helga both lowered their heads in silence. Les and Rowena exchanged glances, then Les raised his hand and filled Zeus's glass with wine.

Zeus raised his glass and gestured to the four people. Then, regardless of whether the other party reacted or not, he drank the wine in one gulp, then turned into a flash of lightning and disappeared.

Drinking this cup of wine means that the contract between the Olympian gods and the Hogwarts wizards is established.

Les and Rowena's expressions also relaxed.

If either of the two old friends were to oppose making peace with the gods, they would both continue to fight against the gods until they were destroyed.

Although this is not in the interests of the wizarding world, nor is it the best option.

Soon after Zeus left, Godric adjusted his mood and ate the food in front of him with relish, as if what was in front of him was not a feast, but the ancient Greek gods.

Seeing that Godric the glutton had already started cleaning the table, Helga called the waiter without any hesitation and marked a few dishes on the menu.

"Besides these, give me one portion of each."

waiter:……

His professional qualities made him say nothing more. After a brief reminder, he asked his colleagues to bring up the delicious dishes one by one.

For passengers in the luxury compartment, the restaurant's ingredients are free, equivalent to a buffet. But if there is too much waste, he will still report to the company and apply to add these four people to the blacklist.

But he soon put his worries aside, because the red-bearded burly man among the four was simply a good-for-nothing!

As each dish was served, his three companions would take a forkful and the strong man would dump all the food onto the plate in front of him and devour it in the blink of an eye, just as a whirlpool devours dead leaves.

This trend lasted for nearly an hour, and even the head chef in the kitchen was alarmed.

He couldn't help but come into the restaurant and make sure there were only four people there.

He felt that the scene of ordering food was almost the same as during peak dining hours.

After a whirlwind meal, Rice quietly cleaned up the mess and left the restaurant with a satisfied Godric.

After a quick calculation of how much Godric had just eaten, Rice was secretly shocked: If Godric hadn't liked to take students to hunt in the Forbidden Forest, Hogwarts might have gone bankrupt early due to financial problems!

Fortunately, Hogwarts is now a big family, and it doesn't need Godric to feed it. However, Rice still decided to send Godric to the Muggle city to eat buffet regularly.

If you don’t manage a household, you don’t know how expensive firewood and rice are!

At the same time, Zeus came to the deck of the cruise ship.

Many tourists were sunbathing on the deck or looking at the beautiful ocean view.

A brown-haired woman with healthy wheat-colored skin and slender limbs was lying on a sun lounger basking in the sun. Her beautiful face and broad mind attracted many people's attention, but due to her inexplicable temperament, no one dared to approach her.

Those who intended to strike up a conversation would never have imagined that the beautiful woman in front of them was Athena, the goddess of wisdom, war and art, who held a very high status among the Greek gods.

Zeus ignored everyone's gazes, walked straight to Athena, and lay down on the recliner next to her.

"It seems that Father God has successfully reached an agreement with those wizards."

"How do you know?" Zeus couldn't get rid of the faint smile on his face.

He was truly happy, because the conclusion of this peace treaty meant that the sword hanging over the heads of the gods had been removed.

"Because if you don't make a deal, you're not going to walk out of that restaurant alive."

The daughter's words wiped away the smile on Zeus' face like an eraser.

Zeus rubbed his temple and looked at Athena helplessly.

"Athena, I am the king of the gods after all, and I am capable of protecting myself."

Athena ignored him.

They, the subordinate gods, also found a way to watch the war that broke out before.

How should I put it? Anyway, Athena felt that unless the Father took out another wishing stone, she would basically be unable to protect herself.

"I will be leaving Olympus for a while. Please keep an eye on Ares and don't let that idiot bring disaster to my temple and priests."

Zeus glanced sideways at his proudest daughter and acquiesced to her actions - it was good enough that she could report to him, because Ares did not tell him when he caused trouble for Hogwarts.

When He knew what Ares was going to do, He sent Apollo there immediately to prevent Ares from causing any bloodshed.

The result of that incident was quite surprising to Zeus. He did not expect that there was a master of the god level in Hogwarts!

Suppressing all his emotions, Zeus said that he would look after Ares and would punish him by not letting him leave his temple for fifty years.

After that, Athena no longer talked to her father, but concentrated on enjoying the sunbath on the deck like a real mortal.

It's hard to tell whether she prefers the warm sunshine or this leisurely time.

But a few minutes later, a scene he accidentally saw completely ruined his good mood: he saw his father God walking towards the cabin upstairs with two handsome young men and two beautiful mortal girls. The two girls also each led a huge black Labrador.

Athena: ...

I hope they don't go too far with each other. I really don't want to have a few more brothers with strange bloodlines.

The cruise ship eventually docked in Sicily, Italy.

Athena got off the boat only after the other four giants had gotten off the boat, and then disappeared into the vast sea of ​​people.

He also wanted to experience the life of a mortal and do something big in the process.

Les and his three companions ignored the little plot between Zeus and his daughter. They entered Switzerland from Italy, then went to France, and finally arrived in Britain slowly.

The four of them had a vacation that was neither too long nor too short, and they relaxed for a while, and then they made an appointment to meet Dumbledore in Diagon Alley.

"I am glad to see you again before I lie in the grave." Facing Rice and the other three, Dumbledore showed a kind of happiness that came from the bottom of his heart.

During this year, he was under unprecedented pressure.

I thought I could retire peacefully after having all the big brothers, but all four of them disappeared at once. Who could stand this? It was only because Dumbledore had a good attitude. If it were someone else, he would have started a fight long ago.

The burden that had been lifted before fell on his shoulders again, and this time the external pressure was unprecedentedly great. In front of the gods of Olympus, Voldemort's danger was relatively small!

Fortunately, several students stepped forward to help him share some of the pressure, and Daphne's children surprised him greatly. It can be said that with these children, Hogwarts has a future.

"We've had a wonderful journey, and if you have enough time we can tell you about it slowly," Rice responded with a smile.

"There's plenty of time to talk to an old man who's over a hundred years old. It's really..." Dumbledore shook his head with a wry smile, but still invited the four to Rupert's dessert shop.

After several years of development, Rupert's Dessert Shop has tripled in size and has become the leading dessert shop in Diagon Alley. The candies it sells are no less than Honeydukes, as well as a wide variety of Muggle desserts.

There are also many private booths here. Chatting here can not only satisfy Dumbledore's appetite but also ensure privacy.

Lupert was quite excited to see Rice again. She led the five people to the seats at the back with joy and then served various desserts like water.

"Where should I begin..." Les thought for a moment and told Dumbledore about the experiences of the four of them in the past year. Dumbledore raised his eyebrows.

To be honest, the direction of this story surprised him.

"Establishing a Dark Lord stronghold in Azkaban..." Dumbledore laughed, and he thought of an old friend. The only difference was that he turned the castle into a prison, while the one in front of him turned the prison into a castle.

Of course, in Western Europe, the distinction between castles and prisons was not clear enough. The towering walls that separated the king from the common people were just another form of imprisonment.

After chatting for a while and eating a bellyful of dessert, Dumbledore took out a roll of parchment from his arms.

"Mr. Gryffindor, please sign this contract. Once you sign it, you will be the next headmaster of Hogwarts." Dumbledore said that he, an old man, had wanted to retire for a long time, but there had never been a suitable successor.

Godric didn't respond. He looked at the many empty dessert plates on the table and said in surprise, "Principal Dumbledore, you shouldn't eat so many sweets at your age."

"Most of this is for you to eat, we just tasted it!" Les ruthlessly exposed Godric's rhetoric.

Godric was just about to take the opportunity to discuss this topic in depth, but Rowena had already spread out the parchment in front of him and thoughtfully prepared an ink bottle and a quill for him.

"Godric, sign it, you will be the next headmaster of Hogwarts." Rowena's eyes were shining with excitement, and Helga took out the crystal ball for recording.

"What are you doing?!" Godric's hands couldn't help but tremble.

"The succession of the new principal is a serious matter. We must record this historic moment." Helga said righteously.

Rice took the opportunity to collect all the plates on the table and arranged some flowers around it, making the scene look much more solemn.

"No, I—" Godric finally failed to convince the former headmaster and three old friends, and signed his name on the contract.

From now on, Godric Gryffindor is the new headmaster of Hogwarts!

Rice and the other two bowed respectfully to the new headmaster. Dumbledore's eyes were gleaming with joy, while Godric's face turned as red as his beard.

"This isn't necessary..." he stammered.

"how come?"

"Of course!"

"This is necessary procedure, Headmaster Gryffindor!"

The three of them responded happily.

Happiness is conserved, Godric's happiness did not disappear, it just transferred to the three of them.

Looking at Salazar who couldn't suppress the curve of his mouth, Godric narrowed his eyes: "Okay, okay, Salazar, you are very happy, right? Now that I am the principal, it will be easy for me to control you, a student, right?"

Just wait for me!

Rice suddenly felt as if things had changed in a way that he couldn't understand.

After signing the contract and handing Hogwarts over to Godric, Dumbledore quickly left Rupert's Dessert Shop, leaving the remaining space to Rice and the other three.

After chatting for a while, Rowena and Helga left too. They were going to walk around Diagon Alley for a while and do some shopping.

Godric did not stay either, as he was now preparing to take over Hogwarts.

Soon, Rice was the only one left here.

He stretched himself and began to enjoy his vacation after stretching his muscles. They came back at a good time, during the summer vacation, so they could relax for a while and do some recreational activities, such as reading the report in the Daily Prophet about Godric succeeding as the headmaster of Hogwarts.

That report was really hilarious.

However, the happy time was short-lived. Rice's happiness came to an abrupt end after he received the "start of school letter" from Hogwarts.

When Les opened the envelope, a silver-green object fell out.

Yes, that is the prefect badge of Slytherin House.

This was the "feedback" from Godric.

Update, good night everyone.

The next update will be at midnight tomorrow night~
