Hogwarts: Wizards Supreme - Chapter 317
c316 Merlin’s story
Brian approached the opened box and took out the two old books inside.
After briefly checking the wizard hat and wizard robe underneath, he sighed softly, reached out and closed the lid of the box, and put the box back into the dug hole.
The excavated soil gathered back into the hole, quickly filling the hole and burying the box inside. Soon, it turned back into the original small slope, but the flowers and plants on it had been buried.
However, I believe it won’t take long for it to be covered with tough green grass again.
“It is indeed a tomb.” Brian muttered to himself. He turned his attention to the two books in his hands, which looked like two notebooks.
One of them is thinner, the paper is newer, and the black cover has Merlin’s own symbol mark.
The other one was thicker and older. The paper had already turned yellow and there were traces of moth-eaten on it. However, it was carefully preserved using magic. The paper still remained flexible and did not fall apart after seeing the light of day.
What made Brian pause was that the symbol on the cover of this old book was the word “D” surrounded by dense runes of different sizes, which was the symbol of the Death God sect.
Brian took a deep breath, sat down next to the slope, and first opened the book with Merlin’s mark.
There is a sentence written on the title page: Do you believe that the past can be changed?
Signed Merlin Ambrosius.
Brian frowned. In his mind, the past could not be changed. Although the time turner could take people back to the past, it was just to complete a period of history.
He turned over the title page and saw the notes written in neat and classical handwriting.
“I had a premonition that another goblin rebellion was about to happen unstoppably. It would be bigger and more unstoppable than before. The world always grows at the alternation of war and peace, but experiencing this kind of thing again and again is always disappointing. Extremely tired.”
“In this situation, one person’s power is very small. Even if I have enough power to stop this kind of war, it won’t last long. If I just suppress the conflicts that have surfaced again, the next outbreak will only be more serious. violent.”
“Over the past few hundred years, I have found that I have become more and more indifferent to this. I have become more and more aware of the importance of conforming to historical trends, and I have become more aware that what people need is guidance rather than relying on personal strength to turn the tide…”
“Every familiar person passed away before my eyes. In my long life, I have seen too many.”
“Even though the world is always experiencing difficulties and setbacks, it is also constantly changing and developing, and it is full of unparalleled vitality. Even I can’t see clearly where the future will go.”
“The good news is that I find that the role I can play is getting less and less. The children are growing up and I no longer need to protect them…”
“Perhaps it’s time for me to leave. I should have left a long time ago. Go look for her until the end of death.”
“Future friend, I can only vaguely see your existence. Like the so-called ‘God of Death’, you are an existence that is beyond the long river of fate, but is also bound by the long river of fate, and has escaped death.”
“I know you should be looking for the runes left by the God of Death. They are things that do not belong to this world and are naturally rejected by the world. I left the runes of the ‘death’ part on the last few pages of my notes. If you want Study it as soon as possible, I seem to have a hunch that you don’t have much time.”
“Here, I am also willing to answer some of your doubts. I only hope that you can bring good changes to this world.”
When Brian saw this, he blinked slightly and murmured to himself: “Bringing good changes to this world… He could actually predict this?”
Thinking like this, he turned to the next page.
“Do you believe that a person can go back in time and change the past?”
“The time turner can’t, but in the realm of death, in this realm where the truth is within reach, everything becomes possible. I am like this myself, a gift from another life, but also the cruelest punishment.”
“I have left here forever to pursue possibilities that may never be pursued. It is not that I cannot tell you my own hidden story.”
“Maybe everything about me is vague, but it’s actually very simple because I’m back in time.”
“This is a situation that no one expected, and it surpasses the power of all magic. I still remember myself, an ordinary boy born in this village, with a girl I admire, and ordinary parents. If there is no magic, maybe Like the common people in the village for generations, I would work hard in the fields, marry that girl as my wife, and have an ordinary family. But the gift of magic changed the trajectory of my life.”
“At that time, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry was not long established. The four giants died one after another, and the wizarding world was in turmoil.”
“With curiosity and desire, I came to this school to learn how to become a wizard. Studying is considered diligent, and life is ordinary.”
“After graduation, I returned to this village and lived a peaceful life. Perhaps, I will silently marry that girl here and then protect this place. This has always been my wish. When I saw the peaceful and beautiful lights and In the magnificent morning light, I knew that this was the destination of my life.”
“However, the war that swept the country still broke out. Wizards, Muggles, and even I were not immune to the flames of war. The world has always been like this, and war has never been eliminated.”
“I had to leave here, leave the people waiting for me, and plunge into a long war.”
“During the war, I continued to grow and gained a great reputation. In the end, I carried the hopes of many people across the country, and with the hopes of countless people, I finally led people to end the war.”
“But in the end, I still couldn’t return to this hometown. I was cursed in the final battle and died after the war.”
“I wonder if someone will bury me here, with my hometown, the most beautiful scenery, and the person I love most.”
“But, death is not the end. There are endless mysteries there, and naturally there are loopholes.”
“When I opened my eyes again, I found that I had become a baby again and was thrown into a poor and dilapidated monastery to grow up again.”
“I realized that going back to the distant past, everything would happen again. At that time, I didn’t know whether I was sad or happy, and I didn’t understand the consequences of it all.”
“So, there is Merlin now.”
“The story of this life, I believe the records in the history of magic are much clearer and more detailed than my own account.”
“But, I am just a little butterfly that returned to the long past and changed everything I know about the future.”
“Everything I have done has gradually changed history as I know it. I am glad that Hogwarts is still a school, even though my influence is involved.”
“But when I returned to my hometown in my previous life, it was still there, but there was no ‘me’ and no her.”
“I changed the past, so I also lost the future I had experienced. The real hometown in my heart can only be seen in my dreams.”
Seeing this, Brian tightened the pages in his hand, frowned slightly, sighed softly and said, “Go back to the past?”
He continued to look down, but what followed surprised him even more.
Merlin wrote in a calm hand: “However, I want to believe that the lost future has not been completely eliminated, but has come to this world in a different way and been known to people.”
“I was very happy when I found that some people started to be confused about everything about me. It may mean that the future that I killed still exists in some way.”
“This kind of confusion initially appeared out of order. Some people saw what I did in the previous life in their sleep, in hallucinations, or suddenly confused.”
“This change was absurd and unbelievable at the time, because it was so contradictory to myself. Those who saw this scene also laughed dumbly, thinking that they were just dreaming or thinking wildly. .”
“However, time is always a magical and fascinating thing. As time passed by in units of hundreds of years, the confusion gradually became unclear, and the debate about my past began to arise and never ended.”
“When the lost future returns in this situation, I begin to believe that I can find the hometown in my dreams. So, I finally plan to set out to find it.”
“This is my story, and I have a feeling it can help answer some of your questions.”
