Chapter Eighty-Five: The Past

After dinner, everyone was busy. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Info returns to Phoenix in the office and takes out the Wright memory ball. Most of the portraits on the walls are not in the frame, and they may be in other portraits in the castle at this time. The castle is home to many landscapes, food, taverns, and other paintings that they are happy to visit.

Eden stood on the perch and chirped softly, urging him to hurry.

"You don't necessarily understand. Phoenix let go of his hand, and the Wright memory ball fell to the ground and shattered. A white mist was like a tornado, turning faster and faster, turning bigger and bigger, watching the fog in front of me fly in front of me at high speed, but the skin did not feel anything.

A small black dot appeared in front of Phoenix's eyes, and in an instant it exploded. Trees, sky, land, and sea all appear together.

"This is where we started. "Three men of about the same size stood by the sea, the first to speak, speaking not fluent Latin. All three were young, and the two standing in the back were not much older than Phoenix.

It's similar to the Latin that Phoenix learned as a child. It is a language of ancient wizards, different from that used by Muggles. That's because they thought that magical abilities could be learned by anyone, so they set up this language to protect the secrets of wizards. In fact, it is protection, the secret of their wealth and status.

Across the Mediterranean, Western Asia, and other regions, wizards have their own unique language used to communicate with other wizards. Later, East Asian wizards discovered that wizarding abilities were passed down through blood, and these languages were gradually abandoned and forgotten.

"Are you sure, Antioch, it's too powerful here," the master of memory spoke, and Phoenix could clearly feel the longing and envy in his heart, "Our level is not worth mentioning here at all, I heard that across this ocean, there is a strong city-state on the other side. The sorcerers there can use their magic to create massive structures as large as mountains. ”

"Really, I want to check it out. When the third child heard this, he immediately became interested, "Don't worry, we can learn, sooner or later, one day, we will rule here like we rule Britain." ”

"Ino is right," Antioch turned, looking young, with short black hair that looked like it hadn't been washed in a long time, "we should be like our ancestors, don't stay where we are, the world is big." If you don't move your legs, wealth and power won't come by themselves. ”

"You'd better think about it, the Britain we inherited was the result of our grandfather's hard work. Cadmus dissuaded, "Grandfather, they managed to escape from Crete and find a place to stay. ”

"If you want, go home and keep those ancestral properties. Ignotus said disdainfully to the second brother.

"No, the three of us must be together. Our unity will make us invincible. Antioch rejected Ignotus' proposal, "The selfish ones are short-sighted, and the strength of the individual can only be temporary, and the power of the group can last forever." ”

His two younger brothers were at a loss. The three men were silent, and finally Cadmus spoke.

"Well, since you all like it here, I'm not going to leave alone. ”

"That's right. ”

"So what are we going to do?" said Ignotus.

"Don't think about those unrealistic ideas, Ino," Antioch frowned slightly, "our primary purpose is to learn new and more powerful magic that will provide the foundation for our future careers." ”

"It's not easy," Cadmus said worriedly, "I admit that the magic my father taught us is outdated, but wizards rarely teach magic to outsiders, even if they are wizards. ”

"I'm free to arrange it. Antioch said confidently.

A mist rose, and the figures of the three were blurred.

Time passed, and when the three figures reappeared, they had already talked to the seaside for many years. The three of them had a more refreshed face, wearing silk robes that were hard to find at that time.

The three of them stood at the head of the city, and the two armies outside were fighting each other. It was dark, with the occasional ray of sunlight shining through the thick clouds to the ground, and after a few moments, it was obscured by the slowly moving clouds.

Suddenly, a powerful spell pierced through the area where the two armies were fighting, breaking down a section of the wall next to them. Where the spell passed, the bodies of the soldiers of both armies were blown apart.

"Hey, it's ruthless enough, and he doesn't even let go of his own people. Ignotus said lightly.

"That's all they did, I thought they were going to find some powerful wizards over there to help out. Cadmus spat on the ground and said to Antioch, "Do you?"

"There's no hurry. ”

This memory belongs to the third. Phoenix didn't know what Antioch had in mind, but he might as well guess for himself. The trio may have been commissioned by the city's master to help defend the city. Charging exorbitant payments afterwards was a normal thing in their time.

Without modern magic, wizards could not be self-sufficient, relying on food and many crafts from Muggle labor. Therefore, serving powerful Muggles in exchange for territory and possessions was the ideal of all wizards. Once they have a fief, they will be able to devote more time to the study of magic, and the more powerful the magic, the more enemies they can defeat, and the more land they can afford to support their growing family.

This period lasted for a long time, until his skills in Transfiguration and Spells advanced. Allowing wizards to keep themselves from starving for a long time, even with little food - the invention of the Expansion Charm and the Freezing Charm.

Now Antioch naturally wants to blackmail a bit and get more benefits.

"Why haven't you made a move?" a voice yelled in exasperation.

Behind them was a fat man dressed in beautiful costumes, and a group of soldiers with shields stood by them.

"Didn't we say that it would be good to make sure that the enemy army would not climb the wall?" Antioch dragged in a long voice, "and now they are still more than ten meters from the wall." ”

As he spoke, there was a burst of sharp arrows, except where the three of them were standing, and there was a wail beside them. The arrow stopped behind the trio, and Ignotus held a broken branch in his hand.

Phoenix really didn't want to call it a wand, because there were even leaves on it.

"Good, goodβ€”yes, I know, what you want, Peverell. "The lord of the city is not stupid," I'll add fifty more slaves and that damn piece of land. But you still have to beat them and make them disappear from my sight, you see!

Antioch nodded in satisfaction, not in the slightest fear of the already thunderous city lord.
