Hogwarts Raven

Chapter 251: Teacher and Apprentice

In the ancient castle hall, the dim candlelight flickered on the mottled walls, and the light and shadows danced on Morgan and Ian's faces, making their expressions appear even more clear.

Morgan looked relaxed and joking, while Ian was stunned for a moment, his eyes widened, his expression extremely incredible, as if he could hardly accept such heavy news.

indeed.

Morgan's words about elder sister and apprentice made Ian dumbfounded. He stood there in a daze for a while before he came back to his senses. Ian knew that the elder sister and apprentice Morgan was talking about were most likely the evil queen in the Snow White story, the traitorous apprentice Morgan had once tricked.

The old witch is actually his cheap senior sister?

The evil queen in Snow White?

When Ian thought of this, he felt it was quite magical - who could have imagined it! Who could have guessed that this was the situation! The first time he and his cheap senior sister met was actually in this scene!
I don't know if the cheap senior sister knows that the person she wants to "take over" is from the same school as her. However, after Morgan's revelation, Ian understands why when he fought the old witch, the old witch also used the method of changing reality with cognition and said what Morgan had said before.

original.

This is a lineage passed down from master to disciple!

Ah!
If you think about it... the old witch, well, my cheap senior sister is really my apprentice. After all, I was the first wizard Morgan followed to learn magic.

of course.

Regarding the matter of Medivh, Ian certainly didn't dare to show off to Morgan in front of him, and he didn't even dare to acknowledge the relationship between him and his disciple that Morgan had mentioned.

Morgan when he was young and Morgan now are definitely not the same person. That's why you should hit someone when they are young. Morgan now is not as easy to appease as he was when he was young.

Therefore.

Ian knew that the wisest choice was not to answer this question. The legendary wizard Medivh was Medivh, so what did it have to do with his identity as a little wizard in front of Morgan?

"Wait, let me take a moment."

Ian deliberately did not respond, but acted as if there was too much information and he needed to sort it out himself, quietly avoiding the situation of having to face the sensitive topic of teacher and apprentice.

He turned his head and looked a few times.

Then he sat on a magic chair that could adjust its shape automatically. However, the chair squeaked unsatisfactorily from time to time, as if protesting against his skinny butt.

Just like what he had seen at the beginning, most things in Morgan Castle, including tables, chairs and benches, were given the attribute of "being alive" by Morgan's cognition.

Don't think they are not moving now.

When he moves, he is even more flexible than many fat people.

"Stupid little pig, you really don't realize this at all? Don't you feel familiar with the battle with that woman?"

Morgan tapped lightly on the long golden plate in front of him.

The tone is funny.

She addressed Ian by his familiar name again. At this moment, after his first encounter with Morgan as a child, Ian already understood why Morgan called him that.

When Morgan first met him and Riddle as a child, it was in her evil pig farm laboratory. He and Riddle were both mistakenly believed to be the products of successful experiments. Perhaps for Morgan, who has grown up, the childhood experiments were also quite absurd, but this was her first meeting with Ian after all.

Ok.

Strictly speaking, it was the first time she met Ian. I think when Ian first met Morgan, Morgan had already recognized Ian as the legendary wizard who went into the pigsty.

Therefore.

That's why he always calls Ian like this - Ian used to think that this was just Morgan's bad taste, but now it seems that many of Morgan's words and actions are actually full of deep meaning.

Just as Ian had thought before, in his opinion, Morgan had far more secrets than Merlin. Perhaps this was also related to the fact that Morgan had more intersections with himself.

"Why don't you answer?"

Morgan saw that Ian was silent, so he raised his eyebrows and asked again. She sat on the same unchanging bench, her fingers constantly drawing circles on the golden plate.

Above.

Not only did the things Ian had experienced before disappear, but even the ruins of the ancient Greek temple that appeared at the end turned into a pool of dark lake water.

There was no water stain on the golden plate, but as Morgan's fingers continued to stir it, the water in the plate was also rotating in a very regular pattern.

I don’t know whether the scene here really exists, and whether Morgan can affect the lake across space.

"No, I was just thinking."

Ian also smiled apologetically, "To be honest, I do have a familiar feeling, but I didn't think about it in that direction. I thought that even if my cheap senior sister was still in the hazy illusion, she should live in a castle or something like that... That kind of black forest is more like a place where some wild wizards are trapped by their obsessions."

This is indeed the reason why Ian did not think about it in this way. To be honest, calling this cheap senior sister a vicious senior sister is really not unfair to her at all.

Perhaps in the story of Snow White, her image is somewhat tarnished. However, judging from the fact that as soon as she saw Ian, she wanted to catch Ian as a "scapegoat" and then borrow Ian's body to return to reality, the cheap senior sister is definitely a ruthless person. If she is not vicious, who else can be vicious?
Ian was a stranger who had no grudges against her! How should I put it? Perhaps if I think about who this cheap senior sister learned from, I can understand that she must not be a good person.

Ok.

Morgan must not hear this. Ian glanced at the teacher in front of him, while Morgan looked at the golden disc in front of him again.

"I can only say that your senior sister... is an unlucky old bitch." Morgan obviously knew some inside information, but she just maintained her mysterious attitude.

I don't know whether she didn't want to tell Ian or she couldn't tell Ian for the time being. Anyway, this explains why the cheap senior sister is called the forest ranger.

It was obvious that he was conscripted.

"So that's how it is..." Ian recalled the old witch's face that first became old and then became charming and young. It seemed that she really had some of the style of the evil queen. After all, in the story of Snow White, the evil queen once turned into an old witch to give Snow White apples.

Although this is just a plot in the story and does not represent real history, the story should still have a source, so the vicious queen is probably really a Metamorphosis.

There is a big difference between Metamorphosis and Animagus. It is a kind of magic that can change one's own form. Most Metamorphosis are innate abilities.

However, Animagus can be learned later in life. For example, in the original story of Harry Potter, the red-haired beauty Nymphadora Tonks was born with the ability to change her appearance.

Ok.

Ian's good friend Aurora and Aurora's grandfather also have the ability of Metamorphosis. Although it seems that a few people have been mentioned, in fact, people who can use Metamorphosis magic are even rarer than those who can use Animagus magic. The vicious cheap senior sister can have this ability, which shows that her own magical talent is indeed not weak.

Just when the little wizard was still immersed in sorting out the clues.

"Do you feel frustrated?" The evil witch Morgan asked again deliberately, with a smiling face, as if she really enjoyed seeing Ian being humiliated.

"A little bit..."

Ian admitted his feelings, but he was still a little confused. Why could a vicious queen in a fairy tale be so powerful?

You know. According to his current strength.

His level is definitely not weak among legendary wizards. His only shortcoming is that his foundation is too shallow.

"My cheap senior sister is also a legend?" Ian asked the question that confused him. Without knowing the answer, he felt that his thoughts might not be able to make sense.

Invincible heart! Invincible heart!

Why can’t I stand up straight?
The little wizard was still depressed, but Morgan laughed again when he heard the words. The laughter echoed in the silent room, seeming a little unscrupulous.

It seems that no one here can control her.

"That woman doesn't have that kind of talent." Morgan's tone carried a hint of contempt for his former apprentice, but perhaps this was just accurate insight.

"Then how can her power be so strong?" Ian hesitated to speak. He used [Fel Energy Burst], didn't Morgan die under this magic?
Sensing the young wizard's confusion, Morgan looked at his special apprentice and said, "In fact, if she were still alive, you could easily kill her countless times. The reason why she can have such strength in the Misty Land is actually because of the story she carries."

This was a more serious answer, and he was no longer as evasive as before. However, this answer still made Ian a little unsure.

"The story it carries?"

Ian had some guesses in his mind, but he couldn't be sure.

And the next moment.

Morgan's fingers gently moved in the air, and the story of "Snow White" began to emerge, which verified Ian's thoughts.

“The power of fairy tales.”

Ian became thoughtful.

He thought of the frail big bad wolf he had caught.

And this time.

Morgan nodded gently. "You can think of it as a special bloodline, the kind that is born after birth. Of course, this is definitely not bloodline, but a kind of carrier that regards itself as something."

She might have done a deep study of fairy tales. After all, when she and Ian first met, she followed Ian to search for clues about fairy tales.

after that.

I guess the bad witch has done a lot of research on this kind of thing.

"Fairy tale...power..." Ian felt his temples throbbing. Some important clue was about to emerge in his mind, but it seemed as if it was hidden behind a thin veil and could not be seen clearly.

“How special is this power?”

He almost held his breath as he asked this question. If he remembered correctly, he had heard some clues about his pursuit of fairy tales from Merlin before.

Morgan looked up at her fireplace. The whole hall was extremely quiet, with only the sound of the flame dancing in the fireplace. She seemed to be organizing her words.

It seemed as if he was considering how much to tell Ian.

"How should I put it? It's so special..." Her voice suddenly became ethereal, as if it came from far away. "If used properly, you can even use it to defeat fate."

The words trembled in the air, and the flames in the fireplace stopped burning, as if they were frozen, as if they had touched some taboo, or as if they were a warning from somewhere. Morgan's expression was complicated and unpredictable, as if he was sighing, but also as if he was afraid of some mysterious thing.

I don't know what he is afraid of.

It may not necessarily be life, nor may it necessarily be a person, but perhaps some kind of mysterious rule.

"But the big bad wolf I caught also exists in fairy tales, so why is it so weak?" Ian believed that Morgan must still remember the soul he caught from the shadows.

"Big Bad Wolf?"

Morgan suddenly burst into laughter.

The laughter made all the utensils on the table resonate crisply.

"I told you, it should be used properly. Apparently, our old friend is also a confused and unlucky guy." Morgan looked as if he was thinking.

She leaned sideways and tapped the edge of the bench. "It's like a story. Different ways of telling it will produce different effects. The same story will also be different and exciting."

to be frank.

This metaphor seemed a bit abstract to the little wizard.

but.

He did not ask any more questions, but was trying to figure out what his riddle teacher was trying to say. At this moment, Morgan looked up at her bookshelf. She snapped her fingers, and the flames in the fireplace leapt again, casting changing shadows on the stone wall.

"Think carefully, my dear teacher." Morgan suddenly used the title that Ian did not dare to respond to. She raised her hand and a notebook flew into her hand.

Ian thought Morgan was going to give it to him directly, but Morgan stretched out her other hand. Under Ian's surprised gaze, she grabbed a corner of her dress and tore off a crescent-shaped piece of fabric with a "swish". What a familiar scene, Ian had seen it more than once.

But this time he didn't understand Morgan's operation. He saw Morgan pressing the notebook directly on the fragments of her dress, and then it was as if something was imprinted on it.

"Today's homework." She handed the still glowing cloth to Ian. Stardust-like light spots floated out from the broken parts, and those light spots had an uncomfortable smell.

"Is this related to fairy tales?" Ian took the thing Morgan handed over with a confused look on his face. The pieces of the dress were still warm in his hand and felt heavier than usual.

"It's a fairy tale, but also a soul palace."

Morgan nodded slightly and responded softly.

Just when the little wizard was about to start studying.

"Go back and study it slowly. Don't... disturb me here." Morgan let go of the notebook as if he was disgusted, and the notebook flew back to the bookshelf.

"Forehead……"

The little wizard was a little confused.

Morgan spoke again with a sigh.

"There is a reason why I sealed this knowledge in other media, Ian... Not everyone is like you. Knowledge that may be sweet to you may be poison to us." Morgan's words were filled with a sense of annoyance, and he didn't know how he had been influenced in the past.

“Knowledge is poisonous?”

What a familiar feeling.

Ian felt the presence of his old friend here again.
