Chapter 58: The Truth About the Witch Hunt
Although time magic can interfere with prophecies in a certain sense, and the identity of the time traveler will not be easily seen, and it is difficult to distinguish by means of magic, but there is no guarantee that the time traveler himself will not reveal his identity.
For example, Merlin was active in the Arthurian period and became famous for 50 years before and after, in the fifth century, that is, around 500 AD.
You can't blame others for putting you in the poems of various bards.
At that time, there was no history of faith, and people can only study that era from the ancient poems that have been handed down to this day.
For example, the sage without a surname, King Arthur's mentor, what is his identity.
Some people say that Merlin is a creature like a nightmare, so he can look old and immortal; Some people say that he is used to playing with people's hearts and has all kinds of bad tastes; Merlin has even been described as a despicable wizard who uses magic to pimp King Uther········
There are many theories, and no one can be sure where Merlin was born or what the background is.
However, one thing can be confirmed, Merlin was not from a noble family at that time, so he did not have a surname.
The European Middle Ages was extremely chaotic, only nobles had surnames, Merlin was not a nobleman, so no matter how famous he was, there was no surname.
Elena makes people talk, in fact, it means "I've found you".
"Do you want me to say more? Your Excellency the Great Sage? ”
Ravencalow had already put on his beloved tiara, a large sea-blue gem in the center shining against the tiny jewels around it.
"Is it because of the Merlin Order? Or is it because the name is the same? ”
Merlin was curious about the reason for his exposure.
"There is a portrait of the Merlin Order that has been handed down, and when King Arthur drew his sword in the stone, Merlin stood beside him."
"It turned out to be a painting from that time··········· It wasn't a magic portrait, so I didn't pay attention to it at the time. ”
"And the Merlin Band, which I organized with a few friends out of pity for the Muggles."
"I didn't expect that the jazz band that was created on a whim 500 years ago would be able to survive to this day, and to be honest, I always felt that the organization would not last long."
"The kind of organization that was purely for the sake of Muggles, I even wanted to disband him myself, because it was the wizards who needed to be protected."
Merlin was active around 500 AD, while Hogwarts was founded in 992 AD, a difference of exactly 500 years.
In this era when there are no history books, if you want to know what happened in the past, in addition to relying on the magic of time to go back to the past, you can only read all kinds of poems and the handwritten notes of our ancestors.
So, in fact, the possibility of exposure is smaller than imagined.
Don't look at Yelena Ravenclaw to guess, but the students of the entire school, including the other three deans, have not had the slightest suspicion for six whole years.
If it weren't for Yelena's recent reading of Arthurian poetry, it would not have been linked to the student council president of her school, which can only be said to be a coincidence.
"Now that I've been recognized, then I'll admit it, and it just so happens that I also have plans to leave."
The sage, who had a thick face and a black heart, took the opportunity to admit his identity.
"If nothing else, I can leave now."
Yelena didn't speak, she seemed to be choked, and she slowed down for a moment before she spoke.
"When I was tracing the history of the witch hunt to find the truth, I stumbled upon the Virtue Society of Arthur's time. This eccentric church, which claims to teach people to practice virtue and to fulfill the Holy Spirit by virtue, originated in a country church in Ireland. What's even more interesting is that that period is exactly when you live in seclusion in Ireland. Can you tell me what's going on? ”
Elena Ravenclaw recounted the incident calmly, showing no sign of anger.
Merlin sensed a faint and faint fluctuation in his forehead, and the crown seemed to have a calming effect.
"Virtue is born out of me, and many witch hunts have been driven primarily by me, but the target has never been wizards."
Merlin was not ambiguous at all, and directly admitted his "pseudo-god" sign.
"Since it's not the four of you gathered here today, it looks like you're aware of it."
Merlin was pretty sure that Elena was the only one here, and that it was impossible to keep him.
"The witch hunt didn't really hurt many wizards, and I know that more of the people who died on the stake were Muggle-born young wizards who had just rioted at the stake, or some people who had been killed by mistake."
"I admit it was manslaughter, but the witch hunt makes sense."
Merlin's hands were intertwined, reminiscing about the past.
"In some time and space in the future, according to the present, it belongs to the downstream of time, and invaders from outside the world are at war with the demonic civilization I created."
"The battlefield between the two sides, starting from the high-dimensional coordinates of the invasion, continues to spread in all directions on the river surface of history, occupying more possibilities."
Merlin paused at this point, and could see that Yelena didn't seem to understand the high-latitude coordinates.
"The so-called high-latitude coordinates, it is very troublesome to explain specifically, you just need to know that entering the world from the source sea is directly entering a certain period of time and space in this world, and this coordinate not only contains the direction but also the order and time, and even includes logic and cause and effect, which is very complicated."
"Once this coordinate is determined, the other party will not be randomly scattered to different illusory timelines, but will lock on to a certain one, so that it will be gathered together, which will be more difficult to deal with."
"They've invaded a lot of times and are very experienced in this area. Although we have also established a Time Ranger Squad and a History Keeper, and even established a Space-Time Authority in the later stage, we still have not been able to completely curb the spread of the other side. ”
A long, winding river appeared in front of the two of them, and a little ink began to spread around in the downstream direction, as if a little ink fell into the water and fainted.
"So you've come to the past, the past that's still under control, and you're going to fight the invaders from the top down?"
Elena whispered, she seemed to believe it.
"It's just, does this necessarily have something to do with the witch hunt?"
Merlin shook his head.
"The witch hunt is actually to find out those who behave strangely, who have suddenly learned strange skills, and who know the knowledge and insight that do not belong to this era, and who are often deliberately created by those invaders to distract me in an attempt to get by."
"The real intruders are lurking beneath the surface, and I have to cut through the fog to find them."
