Hogwarts: Wizards of Eternity.

Chapter 122 Are all ancient wizards P-Corps war criminals?
Because of the powerful yet easily restrained nature of wizards, Muggles have been the mainstream of the world since ancient times.

From very ancient times, wizards have lived in seclusion.

It is for this reason that, with the help of Greece's unique topography, many wizards' former residences have been preserved to a certain extent...

Well, it is said to be preserved, but in fact, all the valuable things inside have been basically taken away by official or private individuals over the past two thousand years.

What's left are empty houses that are only of tourist value and those dark wizard testing grounds that are like Azkaban, so evil that no one wants to go there.

But with the time-travel spell, everything is different. Perhaps there is still a lot of value to be explored here.

"Greece is a country with a glorious past but a bleak present." Nikolaos looked at the surging sea.

A sailing ship cast with a special magic is sailing on the sea surface. Those key wizarding residences that are not open to the public are all cast with something similar to the Fidelius Charm, and only by driving this special ship can one enter them.

"This was once the center of civilization, mastering the most advanced ideas and technologies in the West, but after being destroyed several times..."

"I don't think Greece should be like it is now. I also want our Ministry of Magic to be as grand as the British Ministry of Magic. We don't want to become a tourist country." Originally, Nikolaos had this in mind.

He wanted to get something from the ancient wizard that might change the fate of the country.

That's why he condescended to serve Roger as the director of a country.

This idea spread in his heart like wildfire after he and Roger traveled together in Greece for ten days and witnessed many of Greece's historical highlights.

Some people study for the rise of China, some people storm Congress to make America great again, and some people fight to make Germany strong... Ordinary small countries do not have the ambition to compete, but those whose ancestors were wealthy will yearn for a glorious future even if they are temporarily in a trough.

Next, he took the opportunity to express to Roger his desire to use magical means to record what he saw.

Roger had no objection to this, as it was not something that needed to be kept secret, but he was not optimistic about Nicolao's plan: "Not to mention how much knowledge you can get from ancient wizards just by looking at them."

"Even if you do get it, what's the use?"

"Although some ancient magic has been lost in the flow of time, the overall system has never been interrupted. It was not lost due to a break in the generations, but was naturally eliminated by modern magic."

Ancient magic is more powerful than modern magic, but this comes at the cost of controllability.

Learning ancient magic is more complicated and difficult to master. If a person learns both ancient magic and modern magic at the same time, the modern magic will definitely be better.

Let’s use an example that is easier to understand.

Ancient magic is like the bow and arrow, and modern magic is like a pistol. Some heavy bows are far more powerful than pistols, and the same is true for range. A good archer has an effective range of about 300 meters, while a pistol only has 50 meters.

According to the panel data, bows and arrows are much better than pistols, but pistols are more convenient and it is easier to train gunners, so it is inevitable that bows and arrows will be eliminated.

The investment you put into learning one ancient magic is enough to learn at least five modern magics.

Roger's curiosity about the ancient wizards was more about the ideas and thoughts in their minds when they were creating a new path from nothing.

He wanted to look beyond books and see what inspired them in everyday life.

Instead of turning to ancient magic.

"...It's better to have it than nothing." In fact, Nikolaos also knew that the possibility that the relics of the ancient wizards could change the fate of Greece was very slim.

But what can he do?

Although he holds a high position, he, like Fudge, is a politician-type wizard who does not have much magical ability.

If you must say, his strength is not much different from Professor Quirrell who was possessed by Voldemort.

All he can do is take action in the direction he can work towards.

"At the very least, the discovery of a large amount of authentic historical materials will benefit Greece a lot."

.

.

.

When he actually arrived, Roger discovered that it was indeed necessary for the Greek Ministry of Magic not to disclose the residences of some wizards.

Along the way, Roger broke through 13 traps, 7 curses, and various dangerous places caused by the passage of time.

This made Roger a little annoyed. If this was not someone else's place, Roger would have wanted to raze it to the ground with a "Sun Fist" and then slowly investigate it. After the investigation was completed, he would cast a repair spell to restore it.

This was just the walk over. Once the time-travel spell was activated, it would be even more incredible.

Even Harry, who had witnessed many cruel scenes in modern and ancient wars, looked very bad and as if he was about to vomit.

Nicolao didn't want to lose face in front of the two young guests, so he held on, but Roger could see that he was almost at his limit.

"I thought that the ancient wizards might have played tricks, but I didn't expect it to reach this level." Roger rubbed his temple with his eyes half closed.

Morality and ethics often have different standards in different eras, different regions, and different groups.

For example, in ancient times, 14 years old was considered marriageable age, and the infamous massacre was even considered a normal military measure at some times.

In some groups, only they themselves are considered human beings, and all other races are just two-legged animals in human form.

Similar concepts are not uncommon among ancient wizards. At least they are rampant.

Some pure-blood wizards in modern times may have similar ideas.

Roger recalled the many books that Professor McGonagall had lent him and the many books he had seen in the Hogwarts Library, and he couldn't help but sigh.

It seems that those books must have been modified by later generations.

"Why don't we go here first?" Roger looked back at the two people with extremely pale faces.

And in the back of his mind was the scene of the ancient wizard studying human transfiguration, peeling off the skin, fat, muscles, nerves, internal organs, and bones of dozens of Muggles, floating them in the air, turning them into all kinds of weird things, and then piecing them together.

…and by the way, these Muggles were alive the entire time.

The scene was like the Blood Orcs under Slaanesh practicing their skills.

Roger finally understood how the ancient wizards were able to continuously improve their technology despite a lack of communication and mutual hostility among wizards.

So it's 1% inspiration, and 99% brute force trial and error?

It's very similar to Roger, but Roger used himself for trial and error, while they used Muggles for experiments.

"Let's go somewhere else first." With Roger speaking first, Harry and Nicolaou nodded hurriedly.

Before canceling the time-travel spell, Roger took one last look at the ancient wizard, and suddenly he remembered something.

Witch hunt!

The witch-hunting in this world, nowadays, may be a bit similar to what the shampooers did to the Jews. There must be many innocent people who have suffered and died in vain, but the initial cause may not be "innocent".

A small number of people committed crimes out of greed and took away the sweet fruits, but the innocent people had to bear the consequences of the final blow.

Roger took this incident to heart along with many other things he had seen during his previous journey.

When the three-dimensional method becomes popular in the future, we must also prevent similar phenomena from happening.

Whoever makes a mistake should take the blame.

"Alas..." Nicolao sighed as he walked out of the ancient wizard's laboratory.

He thought he would gain something valuable.

But the first stop was a failure.

What he saw might have some magical value, but it was completely inappropriate for public display.

Nicolao had many ideas about the future, and he once thought that the most likely one was to run a school.

There are three major magic schools in Europe, Hogwarts, Durmstrang, and Beauxbatons Academy of Magic. What Nicolaou wants to create is not a fourth famous school.

Instead, they used the large amount of ancient magic that had been discovered to create something like a 'holy land for ancient magic research'.

Given Greece's national strength, hegemony is out of the question, but cultural victory may be something they can try.

But now...

If all the things discovered later were of this kind, his hopes would really be dashed.

With a glimmer of hope, the magic sailboat set off again, and they headed for the next isolated Greek island in the Aegean Sea.
