"You've made a lot of progress."

"Thanks to your teachings, teacher."

"Humility is a good thing, but I won't erase your efforts." In May, after a teaching, Lao Fu and Ike sat together and chatted for a rare time.

Lao Fu gently stroked Nagini's head, the cold touch made him very comfortable, and even his tone was much more soothing.

"You're excellent, Ike." Lao Fu said softly,

"Even now, I don't think Bella will be your opponent."

"But that's not enough, you understand?" Ike nodded respectfully and said, "I understand, teacher." ”

"Huh...... I think so. Lao Fu smiled,

"You have the potential to be a great wizard, always hungry for magic, and always in awe of magic."

"A lot of people do the first thing, forgetting that magic is never a trick to be manipulated." After a pause, he leaned back slightly, and slowly closed his eyes.

"How much do you know about the origins of magic, Ike?"

"There are a lot of them." Ike replied.

"That's right, there are a lot of sayings. Come on, tell me everything you know, and think of it as a story......" Ike pondered for a moment, looking for an idea, and then said, "I remember that in the History of Magic, there were no wizards in the early days. At that time, the land was a paradise for magical beasts, and people struggled to survive among those ferocious beasts. ”

"On an ordinary day, a person suddenly has magical powers, and can summon flames and lightning at his fingertips, which even a dragon can easily defeat."

"That's the first magic, something older than ancient magic, so powerful that it has no rules. After that, his bloodline was passed down, and gradually there were people who would awaken at an early age and master the power of magic, and they were the original wizards. ”

"But in the books I read in the forbidden section, it is said that the power of magic comes from the bloodline, and it is people who steal the power of the magical creatures who once ruled the continents and seas, and integrate their bloodlines into themselves."

"After failing I don't know how many times, and after I don't know how many people died for it, someone finally succeeded. Gradually, more and more people acquired the power of magic, and this power was integrated into their bloodline, which has been passed down to this day. ”

"There is another, similar to the Norse mythology, where magic is a forbidden power that not even the gods possess. It was Odin, the father of the gods, who hung himself upside down on the World Tree for seven days and seven nights in order to seek higher wisdom and greater power, and finally saw the most precious thing in the world, the Holy Fountain of Wisdom. ”

"Odin sacrificed one of his own eyes to obtain the Fountain of Wisdom, and when he drank from it, he realized greater power. The power is too subtle to be recorded. But Odin had attained extraordinary wisdom, and he created the Rune script to describe this great power. ”

"Power flows into words, and when the words of rune are read, that power is driven."

"Later, Heimdall taught the rune to the humans, but it was so profound that only twenty-four people understood the mysteries, and the humans were able to grasp the power that only gods possessed—magic." After listening to Ike, Lao Fu moved his head leaning on the back of the chair slightly, and asked softly, "What do you think, Ike?" What do you think is the origin of magic? ”

"Me?" Ike was stunned and silent for a long time. Lao Fu was not in a hurry, and waited quietly while stroking Nagini's head.

After a long time, Ike replied, "Wizards and wizards' descendants are more likely to awaken magic, and from this point of view, it is certain that bloodlines are a way for magic to continue. ”

"I think it's more logical to fuse the bloodline of magical creatures."

"Hehehe......" Lao Fu smiled and shook his head slightly,

"So, what about the last origin you talked about? Why do you think that's not true? Hearing this, Ike frowned and replied, "That's a myth. ”

"God? I never believed that there were gods in this world, they were just creatures with great power. Maybe it's people, maybe it's something else. ”

"When people can grasp that incredible power, they will also be named 'gods' by future generations."

"Pap, papa, papa......" Lao Fu slowly slapped his face, and a trace of approval in his eyes was fleeting.

"I'm glad you think so, and if you think about it, how can the power we have now not become 'gods' in the eyes of those who are ignorant?"

"Wizards can summon scorching flames and easily take the lives of stupid Muggles, how similar are the mythical gods?"

"In my opinion, the so-called gods are those wizards of ancient times." Leaning forward, the old man looked at Ike with red eyes, and tilted his head to the side.

"Don't ignore the myths and legends, which may contain the legacy of ancient wizards." Lao Fu said,

"It's like "The Legend of the Three Brothers" in "The Tales of the Poet Bean", the things that the god of death gave to the three brothers are real."

"Then think about it, could it be true that what is mentioned in other legends and myths is also true?"

"This ...... Is this possible, teacher? Ike stumbled a little, his face full of surprise.

"Of course it's possible, little Ike." Lao Fu smiled,

"The mythical Trident of Poseidon appeared in the 17th century." As he spoke, Lao Fu sighed, and his expression became more solemn.

"Ancient magic, those unimaginable prehistoric mysteries...... Although there are stupid people who believe that modern magic is not inferior to ancient magic, don't forget that so-called modern magic is built on the ruins of magic after the Middle Ages! ”

"Oh, ignorance!" Lao Fu was a little excited, and there was a trace of blood red on his pale face, which even spread to his neck.

After a while, the blood red receded, the whole person relaxed again, his back leaned back on the back of the chair, and his tone calmed down.

"Ike, like I said, the Dark Lord doesn't treat anyone who helps him badly. You let Wormtail take me out of the Albanian jungles, kill traitors for me, recruit werewolves and giants, and break Azkaban to free my former servants, you deserve more! As he spoke, Lao Fu waved his wand slightly, and a magic fell on the door of the basement, sealing the entire room.

He stood up, clutched his wand in his right hand, and said solemnly, "Ike Stred, get up!" Ike got up.

"Stretch out your left arm!" Lao Fu said again, Ike immediately pulled the sleeve of his left arm, revealing the black magic mark on it, and then, Lao Fu's wand lightly tapped on it, a wisp of scarlet slowly flowed in, the original black mark became blood red, and the python and skull also became vivid.

When Lao Fu put away his wand, the giant python seemed to have gained life, slowly swimming on Ike's left arm, and the waste notepad system in his mind also changed: Dark Mark Strade Custom Edition (Heir of the Dark Lord, you have finally gained the trust of the Dark Lord, and he will teach you everything; However, at the price, your magic will never hurt him...... ）
