Chapter 69: Return and End (Part II)
Chapter 69: Return and End (Part II)
On the last night of 1348, the Hogwarts Academy, which had been established for less than three months, or the Hogwarts School of Divine Arts, which lasted only two weeks, was reduced to ruins in the midst of the raging flames and roars. And the city of Oxford, which is surrounded by the school, has also suffered a catastrophe.
As for the cause of this disaster, it was just two drunken students who were jealous of the woman's affairs and cast spells in public.
-- Since the venue of the battle was a crowded banquet hall, more drunken students were soon involved in the brawl, and all kinds of powerful attack spells were cast by these drunks as if they didn't want money, which eventually led to this earth-shattering disaster.
This catastrophe from the sky not only caused the university town of Oxford, which had just regained a little of its popularity, to be reduced to the brink of destruction with thousands of casualties at once, but also stirred up a great debate among the magnates of the countries that had organized the school about whether to allow such a powerful spell to spread widely. But what if the next bombardment target of these spells becomes their palaces, castles, and chariots?
Eventually, with the acquiescence of the Angels, Hogwarts Academy announced that the teaching content would be cut from the next class of students, and the number of spells taught to students would be reduced from thirty to eighteen, allowing them to master only some "daily buff" spells that did not involve combat and fighting.
The remaining twelve spells attacking the spells, classified as "forbidden spells", were strictly controlled by the Holy See and the royal families, and in principle were not allowed to be freely mastered by ordinary people, except for a few high-ranking nobles, high-ranking clergymen, and courtly favorites - the public reason was naturally for the stability and security of the social order, and the real goal was obviously to adapt to the changes in the world, to try to maintain the absolute dominance of the Church, the nobility and the royal family in this new era in which the illiterate knights had been eliminated and "knowledge equaled power", Prevent those people at the bottom who have mastered the art of coercion from rising up to make trouble and rebel.
-- As we all know, according to the common sense of political science, those who wield the strongest force should and must hold the supreme power; On the other hand, whoever holds the supreme power will monopolize the strongest force at any cost, no matter how much it costs.
It's almost a fundamental instinct to be a ruler.
On the other hand, because of the grief for these "divine magic" instructors and students who had been cultivated with great difficulty, most of them were killed and injured overnight. Rulers in other countries were reluctant to send their precious intellectuals to England to entrust them to others, and instead embarked on the path of running their own schools.
(Given the pathetic average literacy rate of Europeans these years, and the unprecedented devastation of deserted towns, empty rooms, and withered populations after the Great Plague, it may not be easy for a single country to cotogether a few hundred literate "literate people" within its borders.) οΌ
For example, Giovanna, Queen of Naples and Countess of Provence, took the rest of her students away from Hogwarts and prepared to survey the Provence region in the south of France, looking for a remote place that was sparsely populated and not easy to disturb others, but the transportation conditions were quite convenient, and prepared to build a "Beauxbatons School of Divine Art" (the name of the school was strongly proposed by Miss Ma Tong, and for this reason she also made nonsense about the sacredness of the word).
Not to be outdone, the wealthy Venetians planned to spend a huge amount of money to establish the "Durmstrang Academy of Divine Art" (the name also comes from Miss Ma Tong's hard work) in the desolate and cold Alps on the border with the German states - after seeing the bitter lessons of the New Year's season in the university town of Oxford, and fully understanding the great destructiveness of the "divine power given by God", the cautious Venetians certainly did not dare to arrange the "theosomy" academy in the densely populated and expensive city of Venice. In the same way, they did not want the fertile fields of the Po Plain in northern Italy to be destroyed, so Governor AndrΓ© placed Durmstrang College in the northernmost part of the country. This not only contributed to the security of the hinterland of the Republic of Venice, but also allowed it to expand its influence in the northern regions of Germany and Hungary in the form of "teaching divine arts......
Pope Clement VI was in an awkward position, and for a while he didn't know whether to place the envisaged "Academy of Magic" directly under the Holy See on the outskirts of Rome in the Eternal City, or near the Holy See in Avignon, France...... However, the teachers and students have already begun to organize and prepare.
In addition, Scotland, Denmark, Castile, Aragon, Florence and other countries and city-states that originally sent "intellectuals" to study at Hogwarts were also unwilling to be controlled by others, and took advantage of the situation to announce their departure, planning to return to their hometown to build their own colleges.
With the departure of students from all over the world, Hogwarts House, which was rebuilt on the original site of Oxford after the disaster, has gradually changed from a large classroom for all ethnic groups in Europe to a more pure English people...... Well, to be exact, an academy for the subjects of the Plantagenet dynasty.
The French subjects who lived under the Plantagenet dynasty in England were only slightly more numerous than the islanders of England. οΌ
Behind this qiΔ, there are obviously many kinds of intrigue, dealing, collaboration, and intrigue hidden, which are far less prosaic than they appear to be.
However, regarding this qiΔ's open and secret battles, strange clouds and waves, and scheming, Wang Qiu and Doraemon and other traversers don't care too much.
- Because, having achieved all their goals, they are about to leave this world forever.
(Doraemon has scavenged enough money to pay off his debts, and Levi has earned enough points to get out of the "main god's grasp.") οΌ
Of course, as a group of disciplined people, there is one last little thing that needs to be arranged before they leave this world forever......
β»β»β»β»β»β»β»β»β»β»β»β»β»β»β»β»β»β»β»
Oxford, on the shores of the "Black Lagoon" at Hogwarts House
In line with a conscientious and responsible work attitude, before bidding farewell to this world that is still shrouded in the haze of the plague, Mr. Doraemon endured the pain and left behind the [Encyclopedia of Magic] that created the current medieval magical era, so that those medieval European Christians who once bowed to the time-travelers and donated money and materials can continue to receive the "gift of God" after the time-travelers leave, and stay away from the disease under the protection of healing spells.
But where should we put this magical prop, which is almost related to the survival of European civilization?
Doraemon had originally intended to entrust it to the Holy See or a certain monarch for safekeeping, but when he thought about it, he felt that he could not trust their character - if the custodian destroyed the item out of ambition, stupidity, or some kind of foolishness, then many medieval European Christians who had just come from the brink of life and death and saw a glimmer of hope would once again be swallowed up by the dark haze of the Great Plague.
Eventually, in order to prevent this magical artifact from being stolen or destroyed due to human factors after they left, and even becoming a tool for some tyrants and careerists to kill the world, Doraemon deliberately used a 22nd century future prop to dig a slender tunnel on the base of the giant beckoning cat statue at Hogwarts House, slowly burrowed into it himself, carefully placed it at the end of the tunnel, in a cavity inside the Manekiko statue, and then blocked the tunnel leading to this internal cavity from the outside of the statue with cementand camouflaged flawlessly, in order to protect everything.
ββ¦β¦ Hey, in this way, the Europeans of this world will probably be able to survive the current compound plague."
Looking at the statue of the beckoning cat that gradually restored its original appearance, "Paladin" Levi touched his chin and said with a sigh, "Although it is only a 'magical era' simulated by relying on advanced technology in the 22nd century, it can last for more than ten to twenty years." In this way, we will be able to give an entire generation the happiness of being free from the suffering of the epidemic, and we should be worthy of their generous tribute and worship."
ββ¦β¦ Ten to twenty years? Hey, how is this possible? It's okay if it's a brand new product that has just left the factory from a well-known big company, but the [Encyclopedia of Magic] I just put in, but the discounted second-hand goods I picked up from the flea market look so-so, but the durability of any prop has a limit, I estimate that this thing can be used normally for ten years, which is already very good"
Doraemon glanced at Levi a little strangely, and poured cold water on his head, "In fact, if you leave this [Encyclopedia of Magic] alone and no one to maintain, overhaul and maintain it, there will be problems in about four or five years - of course, four to five years should be enough for Europeans in this time and space to basically extinguish the plague and restore the original rhythm of life."
ββ¦β¦ What the? It's only been four to five years, hey, it's really pitiful, the magical era they can enjoy is too short."
Wang Qiu, who was standing on the side, couldn't help but interject and said, "...... By the way, what happens if something goes wrong with the Encyclopedia of Magic? β
As soon as these words came out, the other traversers also turned their heads curiously, staring at Doraemon with blazing eyes, and question marks seemed to flicker in their pupils.
ββ¦β¦ Well, it's probably like an old household appliance that doesn't work when it works. Or maybe it's just that the spells are stringed together with each other, and the effect of another spell is produced when one spell is clearly recited...... Some of the channels that resemble shabby TVs will be linked to each other......"
Doraemon spread his hands and replied disappreciatively, "...... Generally speaking, don't all old machines become like this? β
In this regard, everyone thought it was true and nodded one after another. But Levi immediately gasped, and then, he turned his head to look at the other side of Yu Lake, and saw Joan, the surviving queen of England Lori, who was leading a group of palace maids to practice the [Fireball Technique] bombardment. Plantagenet, and thinking of the years when magic began to fail in the future, this paladin couldn't help but open his mind, and reverie in his mind a scene "Queen Joan's private visit to Weifu has no β tragic memory":
ββ¦β¦ Hmph, I am the Queen of England blessed by angels and blessed by the Light, one of the four apostles of the Apocalypse, and these impudent deceitfuls, let me be judged in purgatory now-Meow, omnipresent fire elf, please obey my call, gather together, and attack my enemies Meow - fireball spell eh? Meow, the omnipresent fire elf, please obey my call, unite and attack my enemy, Meow - Fireball
Huh? - You, you untouchables, don't come here, let me go, don't stain my clothes, even if I sell you, I can't afford to lose money, let go quickly, be careful, I'm going to call someone, meow, help, who's going to save me?"
ββ¦β¦ Oh, fantasizing little beauty, scream, scream, you just scream your throat, and no fool will come to save you......"
Well, this imaginary future scenario of "magic energy failure" is really enjoyable β...... Uh, no, it's too evil Levi quickly shook his head and kicked it out of his mind, but soon he couldn't help but continue to fall into his own mind, and began to smile with a sly face, imagining what kind of interesting events would happen to Queen Giovanna of Naples, who had rolled the sheets with him a few times.
Well, at that time, even if it is only for political considerations, it is estimated that this little widow should remarry, so what to say......
ββ¦β¦ What the? My husband was hit by a wild boar while hunting and broke a leg? What a problem, it has to be treated right away."
ββ¦β¦ Get out of the way, you idiot who can't even chant spells to spell books, I'll cast a spell on him in the name of the holy cat, bathe in the holy breath, eliminate the sickness of the body, bloom the vitality of life, and completely heal the magic meow"
- Boom
ββ¦β¦ Uh, Your Majesty the Queen, please mourn, he has been completely charred and he is not even recognizable to his face. It looks like you're in need of a new husband. Also, was it really a healing spell that you just chanted? Instead of a chain of fireballs or a dragon slash? β
ββ¦β¦ This, how is this possible? I memorized the mantra a few years ago, and I never mispronounced a syllable, oh God, what the hell is going on? Why should I be a widow again? Oh dear, how am I going to live without you?"
Ay...... This sight...... Just think about it...... Tsk, it's already drunk
I don't know why, the corners of Levi's mouth actually raised a wonderful arc slightly, and he sighed so happily in his heart.
- Obviously, although this guy seems to be normal on the surface, he has actually lost a lot of discipline......
There is no way, no matter how normal the three views are, no matter how good the Virgin-type person is, as long as he enters the "main god space", a pit place where human nature must be exterminated in order to survive, basically anyone who can survive will have to lose one to two purifications......
So, please forgive him for his occasional brainstorming routine.
Then, the time has finally come for you to say goodbye to this world.
