Chinese students at Hogwarts

"As for the so-called gods in ancient times, relevant departments in the wizarding world have actually conducted a lot of research and excavations.

Existences like the Silent Man were born based on these things.

There are many discoveries in the wizarding world, many of which cannot be made public because they will greatly impact the concepts of ordinary wizards. "

Nicoléme is worthy of being a living fossil in the wizarding world. In his faint narration, hundreds of years of ups and downs are revealed.

Those unknown past events and secrets are all narrated by Nick Flamel.

Dumbledore seemed very happy that Nick could provide Zhang Xiao with these things, in the eyes of this old principal who wanted to retire.

In the future, I always want Zhang to look after the wizarding world on my behalf. Although Dongfang seems to need him to look after him, but with great power comes great responsibility.

Five years have passed. These five years are enough for Dumbledore to see a person clearly. If he leaves it to Zhang, he can rest assured.

Zhang Xiao nodded. The Department of Mysterious Matters, as its name suggests, is quite mysterious. To outsiders, this department studies all kinds of mysterious things.

What love, time, prophecy and so on.

But according to Nickoleme, a large part of the work in the Department of Mysteries consists of instruments, materials, documents, etc. left over from ancient times. They deconstruct these things to support theoretical research on magic.

Much of the information for the Standard Spells Committee comes from the Department of Mysteries.

"Research has found that those gods have more or less magical abilities due to issues of belief, but the beliefs of polytheism are scattered and far less powerful than the unified belief of monotheism.

Zhang, you should be able to understand this concept, right? "

Zhang Xiao nodded, of course he could understand. In fact, if Buddhism were not in China, it would probably not have the momentum of the three major religions now.

After a while, Zhang Xiao's expression suddenly froze, where are his ancestors?

It seems that I have never heard from my parents, but I just know that they do exist?

I still remember my dad asking himself, if offering incense to our ancestors and believing in our ancestors is considered a religion?

has a problem! The water in my hometown is definitely very deep.

"Zhang?" Nick Flame asked a little strangely, watching the expression on Zhang Xiao's face change.

Zhang Xiao came back to his senses:

"Oh, it's okay, just keep talking -"

Nick nodded and recalled what he had just said:

"Monotheism has a great advantage in this regard. They can concentrate their beliefs. Not talking about the power of their gods, but simply the advantages of the system. Monotheism is easier to spread than polytheism.

So in the long battle, the monotheistic religion gradually won.

While this is an answer we have inferred from history, it has never been confirmed, nor has the body of the so-called god ever been seen.

Zhang, your discovery in the pyramid is crucial, just like we never thought that the Greek gods would go to Egypt hundreds of kilometers away and kill them. "

"Mr. Nick, why don't these religions work anymore? What about those gods? They finally won, but why do they seem to be gone now?

And religion still exists and is quite prosperous! "

"Hahahahaha" Nick Flamel couldn't help laughing, the wrinkles on his face were squeezing together: "Zhang, looking at issues out of touch with the times will inevitably lead to misunderstandings.

It seems like this is what you said when chatting with Albus before. "

Looking at issues out of touch with the times?

Zhang Xiao frowned. Could it be that the current era is different from ancient times? environment? Could it be that spiritual energy has declined and that it is the end of the Dharma era?

"Zhang, haven't you ever considered human issues?"

people?

Zhang Xiao looked at him slightly confused, and then heard Nicoléme say softly:

“Thousands of years ago, people’s thinking was much simpler than it is now. The complexity of people’s thinking was based on the information they received and the things they came into contact with.

Because the information received by ancient people was limited, they came into contact with things they could not understand, and they developed fear and worship.

That kind of thinking is undoubtedly many times simpler than that of people today. "

ah?

Zhang Xiao immediately reacted, yes, people in the past had simple thoughts, and their cluster consciousness could be useful, but now you let ordinary people be as simple as in the past and cluster.

It's simply impossible. Some countries want to subdivide infinitely and cut people into countless attributes, so that it is difficult to unite.

“So even if the ‘god’ of monotheism defeated the ‘god’ of polytheism, he did not ultimately become an immortal existence as he expected?

Instead, it gradually disappeared in the long river of history? "

The three old men nodded together:

"While we didn't find conclusive evidence, that should be the case."

"What was the final outcome of those monotheistic 'gods'? Did they suddenly die?"

Zhang Xiao suddenly became interested.

"Well, you shouldn't be crazy. Just like countless people talking constantly in your mind, with all kinds of emotions, you should be crazy, right?

In the end, because there is no one to preside over it, it will lead to internal strife within the religion, which will also 'tear apart' their gods and eventually lead to their demise. "

Reasonable! Success is also faith, failure is also faith

"It is precisely because these so-called gods are all human beings that there are legends about killing gods. If they are really gods, in fact, such an absolute difference in personality makes it impossible to kill gods."

Dumbledore took over the topic, which brought a successful conclusion to the chat between several people.

Everyone stood up and silently watched the commotion below from the rooftop.

The conflict became more and more intense. The church leaders were no match for the lower level. The demon hunters they had painstakingly trained finally made them suffer the bitter fruit that was hard to swallow.

Zhang Xiao's plan achieved results beyond expectations. The demon hunters shouted slogans and attacked the defense of the church leaders regardless of life and death.

Originally, they had the help of Muggle soldiers, but the angel's arrival was not only seen by the church, but also by the Muggles.

It was a joke to ask them to deal with the "Lord's Warrior". Some of them turned their guns and joined the battle.

Most of the others remained neutral because they saw the considerable weekly salary.

At this time, something unexpected happened.

The demon hunters were so brave that they even directly broke through the secret base set up by the church here. The secret base was in the basement of the building.

As the headquarters, there was a fairly large underground bunker here to prevent nuclear bomb attacks.

When the demon hunters found many children imprisoned here, which were the materials for the sacred reincarnation ceremony, and women with chains on their limbs and wearing crowns of thorns on their heads, acting as reproductive machines.

They collapsed directly. They had more or less secretly captured them all over the world, but the explanation given by the church leaders was that they were contaminated by demons and needed to be taken back to the headquarters for evolution.

But no one expected that they would evolve like this!

The Muggle soldiers were more collapsed than them. The situation here directly confirmed the sins of the church leaders.

"By the way, Harry's cousin, Dudley Dursley--"

Zhang Xiao suddenly remembered this question. He never thought that Dudley, the bully fat boy in the original book, would transform so much and kill Bella together with Neville!

At the last moment of evacuation, it was Zhang Xiao who held the line. Seeing that the church and the Muggles did not dare to act rashly, the others evacuated.

Dudley's current situation was really unclear to him.

"Don't worry-your friend Malfoy has made a lot of efforts. Dudley has lived in Hong Kong with Petunia. Old Malfoy's business is doing well.

The company over there also needs manpower."

Dumbledore said with a smile, and Zhang Xiao nodded with relief. This is the best.

"By the way, there are also some research materials on the ruins in Greece. I will send Fox to you when the time comes. I hope it will be of some help to you."

Zhang Xiao thanked Dumbledore, looked back at the building that was already emitting thick smoke, and waved to the three old men.

Accompanied by the crackling sound of the Apparition, only a wisp of green smoke was left.

Above the Atlantic Ocean, Zhang Xiao floated in the air, and a strong light rose from his body, rushing straight down to the ocean.

A huge column of water rushed up to the sky, and he rushed towards the ruins on the seabed at a very fast speed.

Last time, he needed the Water Fairy, but this time he rushed completely with his powerful strength.

The sea water was separated by an invisible force, and Zhang Xiao rushed all the way to the underwater city where he had come in the second round of the project.

This place is no different from the last time he came. The traces left by the previous fight have long been smoothed by the ocean current.

The marine creatures that were scared away also gathered again.

Zhang Xiao stared at the sea city in the shadow and directly chose a door to rush to.

The mark obtained last time is still valid. It is like an ancient identity authentication. Dumbledore admitted that he just borrowed the original magic of this city.

This city lying on the seabed is still quiet. Without the obstacles and no-fly magic set by Dumbledore, this journey is unusually convenient.

After a while, they passed the residential area in front and came to the palace.

Atlantis is very interesting. According to Dumbledore and Nicolas Flamel, it is a co-king system. The king of the largest city of Atlantis is appointed by Poseidon himself.

It also has several satellite cities, each with its own king, just like a fiefdom.

The statue of Poseidon stood silently. Just looking at him, Zhang Xiao could imagine how magnificent the statue was.

As one of the only Atlantis cities discovered so far, the secrets of this city have actually been almost excavated.

Maybe it was destroyed too suddenly at the time, and there were no useful clues left at all.

Zhang Xiao came here because he wanted to do something for no reason. He used the method Dumbledore taught him and used all kinds of detection spells to the extreme.

Dazzling streams of light immediately appeared on the statue, and Zhang Xiao carefully identified it.

Well. The spell of "permanently bright and clean as new" has been almost destroyed, and it is indestructible. This one is still there.

After carefully identifying it for a while, he still sighed with regret, and did not see what he wanted.

Yes, Dumbledore had already swept the entire city inside and out before the second round of the game.

With the old man's meticulousness, he generally wouldn't leave anything behind.

After circling the empty city again, Zhang Xiao turned his head and rushed towards the deeper depths of the ocean.

He was extremely fast, pulling out a long white tail in the deep sea.

The deeper you go, the darker it is. Even with the Dharma Eye and the Illumination Technique, his field of vision is still far less than that of land.

The pressure is getting greater and greater. When it comes to a depth of two or three thousand meters, even Zhang Xiao feels a little tired.

The bright light source attracted the deep-sea creatures to gather around curiously, such as a giant squid that was 20 meters long.

It looked like it wanted to take this glowing thing back home to use as a light bulb.

In desperation, Zhang Xiao had to suck the tears that slipped from the corners of his mouth and freeze the big seafood into lumps and put it away.

After wandering aimlessly in the sea for a long time and attracting countless marine creatures, Zhang Xiao finally gave up this futile action.

Searching for lost relics in the sea without any clues is no less difficult than searching for a black cat in a coal mountain.

So he simply stopped in the sea and then directly Apparated in the deep sea.

Target, Greece!

The Greeks once believed that Greece was the center of the earth, and Mount Olympus was the center of Greece, so the gods settled on Mount Olympus, which was shrouded in clouds all year round.

But later the Greeks changed their views, because they felt that since Mount Olympus was covered in ice and snow and surrounded by clouds, they didn't want to live there, and it was obvious that the gods didn't want to live in such a deserted place.

Later, based on their sailing experience, they learned that Greece was not the center of the world, and Mount Olympus was not the center of the world, so it was impossible for the gods to live on Mount Olympus.

When the Greeks climbed Mount Olympus, they thought that the gods were close at hand, but they did not find any of them.

So they gradually changed their views.

They began to think that the Mount Olympus they imagined was far away in the sky, and the gods lived in that distant place that was out of reach.

And the fact is. It is indeed so.

Zhang Xiao stood on the highest peak of Mount Olympus, looking into the distance quietly.

Holding the note sent by Fox in his hand, on which was written the clue given by Dumbledore.

Once a wizard saw a phantom of a high mountain full of gorgeous palaces in the sky of Mount Olympus when the sun rose.

He used the sacred mountain to describe what he saw. After the news spread, countless wizards flocked to witness this magnificent scene or find out.

But many wizards wandered around for a long time again and found no traces, and Rolando, the wizard who first discovered this sign, was also called the King of Big Lies.

Rolando was spurned by everyone and became depressed, and eventually died alone, but before he died, he was still muttering to himself that he had really seen the sacred mountain.

Dumbledore said in the note that he had heard this story and had gone to Greece, but after a search, he also found nothing.

But before leaving, he did find something unusual, which was a trace covered by powerful magic.

So Dumbledore felt that Rolando was not lying, but wanted to see the sacred mountain, there must be harsh conditions.

It's just that Zhang Xiao needs to find this condition himself.
