Chapter 5: Gathering

There were two rows of heavily armed steel warriors standing at the gate of the city, with sharp spears in their hands and broadswords pinned to their waists, all of them smelling of blood, obviously all of whom had rich experience in actual combat, and they did not check too much on pedestrians coming and going, but just stared at those suspicious and timid fellows with sharp eyes, and pedestrians like Hugo who rode in aristocratic carriages were almost not very obstructive, because after all, it was not a time of war when martial law or the situation was more sensitive.

Natural disasters, pestilences, droughts, locusts, and other afflictions were very severe tests for life on the Western European continent, and the only good thing about so many disasters was that the victories between the lords were much less than usual, because there were no more people and resources left to spend on war.

The Holy See even issued an agreement similar to a peace treaty between the nobles! Although there was little restraining power on those nobles who had real power, it gave the nobles who were in confrontation or war a negotiable stage.

The carriage staggered into the city gates, and the noise immediately filled the carriage around, and the streets that could be passed through were crowded, and crowded with poor people in ragged clothes, and the cries of chickens and ducks and other livestock came and went, which seemed to be both dirty and chaotic, and the overall environment here was very poor, and at first glance it was the ideal environment for the spread of the plague, even if there were no dark wizards who hated it to the extreme, the plague carried by the rats scurrying around the city alone would be enough to kill everyone.

Hugo put his head close to the window next to the carriage, and secretly looked out, he found that the carriage was constantly shuttling in the alleys of London Wick, and soon passed through the area of the city gate, and slowly came to the rich merchants and middle-class residential areas of the city, in the southwest side of the city, the house buildings here and the wooden buildings at the city gate began to be different, most of them were stone buildings, the houses were stronger, and the roads and sanitation were relatively much better, obviously not everyone could live in this kind of place。

The carriage stopped next to a gate decorated in the style of the Roman Empire, and the blonde man stepped out of the carriage vigilantly, looked around, and at the same time glanced at the Brown Knight, who had been following the carriage, and motioned for him to stand guard, and then he took out a magic wand from his sleeve and waved it gently, and a small icon suddenly appeared in the upper right corner of the gate that was nothing special, and the icon was composed of four animal motifs.

A lion is in the upper left corner of the pattern, to his right is a writhing snake, in the lower left corner is a living badger, and in the lower right corner is an eagle with wings outstretched. This motif is the Hogwarts crest, and the four animals on it represent the school's four houses, each representing one of the school's founders.

These four founders are the most prestigious white wizards who lead the light in this dark age!

The gate opened with the appearance of this small icon, and then the blonde youth drove the carriage and magically 'squeezed' through the otherwise spacious gate!

The inside of the door is very spacious due to the application of space magic, in addition to their carriage, there are two carriages of similar shape, which should be the companions of the blonde youth who have arrived, it seems that in addition to the blonde youth, there are other people looking for gifted children, and then take them to Hogwarts for education, to ensure the continuation of civilization and the inheritance of the white wizard.

Just as Hugo stepped down from the carriage with curiosity, a sweet voice suddenly rang out.

"Robert, you're coming back late!"

Hugo followed the sound and looked over, only to see a beautiful girl in a traveler's suit standing at the door of the room, calling out the name of the blonde young man very naturally, her chin slightly raised, and a taste of arrogance passed from this slightly raised chin.

"There was a little accident on the way, but don't worry, Angelina, nothing bad happened" Robert looked at the beautiful girl opposite, he tried to make himself look more handsome at this moment, and then straightened up without a trace and walked over with a smile, and then said: "Not only did I not find anything bad, but I received it a little unexpectedly!"

At this time, there was another person behind the beauty, his tall figure stood there as if he was always full of energy, his eyes were bright, and he radiated a very confident light outward.

"Oh, what windfall?" asked the tall young man.

"Oh~ Aphia, you will definitely be surprised" Robert's handsome face showed a smug expression: "It is a descendant of a white wizard with a very noble bloodline!"

Aifia glanced at his lips slightly, and said disapprerovingly: "Whether or not he can become an excellent wizard does not depend entirely on whether he has a noble bloodline."

"Whether or not you can be a good wizard depends not entirely on whether he is brave or not" Robert fought back without hesitation.

Angelina rolled her eyes beside her, and said helplessly: "You two are enough, don't directly say the differences in the academy in front of these juniors! I think that whether it is blood or courage, you can only really play a role under the premise of having a certain amount of wisdom, isn't it?"

By this time, Hugo had fully understood that the blonde young man Robert who had brought them here was definitely a Slytherin, and the tall young man Ephia was a Gryffindor, and that the beautiful girl named Angelina was a student at Ravenclaw House.

She has very beautiful long black hair, a slender figure, and delicate lips under the high bridge of the nose, although the lips are slightly thicker, but not only do not spoil her beauty, but make her appear more sexy.

The four founders of Hogwarts founded four houses under their own names based on their understanding of the wizarding spirit.

Godric Gryffindor from the Barren Swamp was very proficient in alchemy and was also the best duelist of his time, no one could defeat the brave Gryffindor in a heads-up, so he believed that only with brave qualities could he be a good wizard.

The noble Salazar Slytherin was a master of the magic of the Deception and a master of potions, all of which were gifts he had acquired from his bloodline, which made him pay more attention to the powerful power hidden in the bloodline, which made him obsessed, so Slytherin House only recruited wizards with pure blood.

Rowena Ravenclaw, on the other hand, was a very fair and wise wizard with a level of intelligence that the other three founders did not have, and was a master of spells, inventing many powerful spells, and he paid more attention to whether a wizard had superior intelligence.

Finally, Helga Hufflepuff is from the open valley, she is particularly good at food-related spells, she has developed many delicious dishes, and she is also a very powerful master of soothsayers and herbs, she believes that food and the future belong to everyone with wizarding abilities, so she advocates treating all wizards equally.

This is the admissions standard for the four Hogwarts houses.

While the three young men were arguing, the gate was opened again, and another carriage magically 'crowded' in through the gate again.

Hugo thought to himself, the carriages of the other three houses have arrived, so this last carriage must be the Hufflepuff carriage.

An ordinary-looking wizard stepped out of the carriage, completely lacking the distinctive brilliance of the other three people, like a calm, heavy rock, standing there the most easily forgotten, but the most difficult to shake!
