A magical journey that begins at Hogwarts

Aaron: ......

No wonder my family likes to use contracts so much!

The reason has been found; it turns out it's a family heirloom!

"The gods each perform their duties and must not interfere with the authority of others without cause, nor arbitrarily kill mortals. Thus, the balance between good and evil in the world is achieved."

"By the way, among these people is the so-called God," Vico said sarcastically. "Although it has stopped the world from being continuously destroyed, the world itself is already overburdened and teetering on the brink of collapse."

Our ancestor noticed this and tried to heal the universe, but all his efforts only slowed its collapse.

"And then?" Aaron asked eagerly.

“Then Gaius returned to this world,” Vico said with emotion. “He didn’t try to become a god, but lived as an ordinary person, without even revealing any magic.”

While experiencing life, he fell in love with a woman and they formed a happy wizarding family.

Besides marrying and having children, Gaius also took on three exceptionally talented apprentices, teaching them different types of magic.

"Wait, stop." Aaron suddenly realized something. "Three apprentices? Could it be..."

“That’s right, it’s them,” Vico said, counting on his fingers. “Darwin was in charge of spreading knowledge and recording all the correct history.”

Ishkar is responsible for prevention and protection. If the world is engulfed in war, they will take immediate emergency measures to protect all wizards, including those of Muggle origin.

As for Klein, he was responsible for deterrence, and it is thanks to them that the world has not been invaded by foreign forces so far.

Gaius, on the other hand, was responsible for establishing connections with other worlds; there was a reason why the four reclusive families had always helped each other.

"So this is ah!"

Aaron used to find it surprising that the relationships between their families could remain unchanged for thousands of years.

The case has now been solved. Thousands of years ago, the master-disciple relationship was similar to that of father and son. To put it more bluntly, these families were distant relatives.

Do you think this is the end?

"Isn't it?"

“Of course not.” Vico shook his head with a smile. “After his wife passed away peacefully, he returned to the starry sky.”

He felt that his life had been wonderful enough, so he wanted to do something more meaningful.

He relinquished his authority, sacrificed his body and soul, and mended the gap in the universe.

In fact, only he could do this, not because he had partial access to the universe, nor because of his great strength, but because only he was willing to do it.

Because in the eyes of those high and mighty gods, the destruction of the universe is only a matter of time.

Powerful gods will create new divine realms in other universes, and less powerful gods will do the same, but their living space will be much smaller; if they are unlucky, they can only survive under the protection of others.

After hearing this, Aaron was stunned for a long time.

He knew his first ancestor was extraordinary, but in his eyes, the most extraordinary thing he could do was save the world, or, to exaggerate a bit more, save the galaxy. If the god of magic put in a little more effort, it wouldn't be impossible.

But he never expected that his ancestor had saved a universe. That's incredibly awesome!

“That’s amazing, but I wouldn’t follow his example if it were me,” Aaron exclaimed. “I don’t have my ancestor’s abilities, nor do I have his mindset.”

Perhaps he sees the sacrifice as profoundly meaningful, but I would probably never do such a thing.

Snapped!

As soon as he finished speaking, Aaron received a slap on the head.

“Sometimes sacrifice is necessary.” Vico taught his son, exasperated by his son’s lack of ambition, “The Gaius family is where it is today because of the sacrifices of our ancestors.”

“I didn’t say anything wrong!” Aaron said, feeling wronged. “Dad, you know me. The idea of ​​sacrificing oneself to save the world has nothing to do with me.”

"It's good that you think that way." Lisanna breathed a heavy sigh of relief. "The greatness of our ancestors is their business, but Mother hopes you can be a little more selfish."

Upon hearing this, Vico rolled his eyes in exasperation.

That's true, but is it really appropriate to be so blunt?

Chapter 229 The arrangement was meticulously planned.

"You heard it too, even my mother said that," Aaron casually shrugged. "What does this have to do with our family's mission?"

“Of course there is,” Vico said solemnly. “Our ancestor repaired the universe with everything he had, but it wasn’t without conditions. He made a deal with the will of the universe, securing sufficient benefits for future generations, that is, for us.”

"Oh?" Aaron's pupils widened slightly as memories from childhood flashed through his mind. "But I don't seem to have noticed anything special about myself."

"First of all, our clan is born with top-notch talent, and our innate advantages are far greater than those of ordinary people."

Simply put, the Gaius family has always been associated with the pinnacle of combat power in each era, or at least not by much.

Secondly, Gaius's bloodline can largely circumvent the laws of malice, a power that even the gods envy.

Finally, the ancestor's requirement for the universe was that his descendants, provided certain conditions were met, could travel to other worlds without any suppression or rejection.

This is the greatest opportunity; you will get a head start on experiencing a new world.

hiss!

Aaron gasped. "I was short-sighted. The sacrifices of our ancestors were truly extraordinary."

“Of course,” Vico said proudly.

"Father, have you been to other worlds?"

“Uh…” Vico hesitated for a few seconds, then saw the disdain in his son’s eyes.

“Tsk tsk tsk!

Father, your image in my heart has diminished by half again; now it's only a quarter.

puff!

Vico clutched his chest, feeling as if something was blocking his heart, making him feel extremely uncomfortable.

Do you know why you are the most successful one in the family for a hundred years?

Because not only did I not meet that requirement, your grandfather didn't either.

Hearing this, Aaron felt a little embarrassed, but also had some doubts in his mind, "What criteria does our family use to determine whether our descendants are qualified?"

“Based on this,” Vico pointed to the three crystal balls on the altar that were shimmering with blue light, “the fact that the first crystal lit up when you were born means that you are qualified.”

The lighting of the second crystal signifies that you have earned the right to enter the family's secret chamber for further study.

"When the third crystal lights up, it's urging me, the clan leader, to bring you here and fulfill your mission."

“This is too hasty!” Aaron frowned. “It’s not that I don’t believe in these three crystal balls, but even the most accurate prophecies can be wrong. You can’t decide my future based on prophecies.”

“What you say makes a lot of sense, but this is a prophecy of the family bloodline, and there’s no way it could be wrong,” Vico said confidently. “Besides, your talent is indeed stronger than mine and your grandfather’s, that’s an indisputable fact.”

Besides, you are more mature than your peers; your two escapes have already proven your capabilities.

"Fine! I have nothing to say."

Aaron shrugged, his last shred of hope shattered.

It can only be said that I am too outstanding, coupled with a completely accurate prediction, so I have no excuse to escape.

"So, my mission is to travel to other worlds?"

“It’s not just a simple trip; you have to do something meaningful.” Vico looked at Aaron with a complicated expression. “Leave Gaius’s name in that world.”

"That's an exaggeration!" Aaron's lips twitched. "I'm only thirteen."

“Age is no excuse. Otherwise, your grandfather and I would have gone long ago. How could it be your turn?” Vico said with envy and jealousy. It was only because he was his son that he could go to other worlds. Otherwise, only the God of Magic would have the ability to do so, and even then, he would have to bear considerable risks.

“Alright!” Aaron sighed softly. “I still have a few small questions.”

“Tell me, and I will answer your questions from the perspective of the clan chief.”

Are there any taboos when going to other worlds?

“There’s only one.” Vico raised a finger and tapped Aaron’s forehead seriously. “Never, never, ever think about conquering or ruling that world.”

This was the strictest rule established by the first ancestors, for it was the origin of almost all calamities.

Gulu!

Aaron swallowed hard, then chuckled sheepishly, "I don't want that kind of ambition, it's too exhausting."

"It would be best to think that way, because the consequences of violating this rule are severe. You will be removed from Gaius's family tree and lose those three privileges."

Even if you are my son, I have no choice but to uphold justice and even turn against my own family.

"Uh... I understand."

The second question is, how do I get back?

"There has to be a standard!" Aaron said with some concern.

He worked tirelessly in another world, but he didn't know how he would return; it was no different from being exiled.

If you go to a more developed world, at least you won't have to worry about food and drink. But if you go to some barbaric place, then it's not just a little bit tragic.

Thinking of this, Aaron suddenly pictured himself fishing in the river with a group of primitive people, and he instinctively shuddered.

"You don't need to worry about that. The family history will record all the important things you've done."

"Once it has turned enough pages, you will naturally have the right to return," Vico said, pointing to the history book. "Another method is to break through to the level of the God of Magic, at which point you will find the exact coordinates of our world within yourself."

Aaron: ......

"Okay! That makes perfect sense."

"But I'm already a Archmage, why would I even think about coming back?"

"Don't you want to come back and see your mother?" Lisanna said with a touch of sadness, her gaze towards Aaron filled with resentment. "You have family, friends, and a home in this world..."

Snapped!

Aaron patted his forehead.

“I was wrong, Mother.”

I assure you, I will definitely come back.

“That’s more like it.” Lisanna nodded and smiled, unconsciously tightening her grip on Abe’s arm, almost suffocating the young dragon.

"The third question," Aaron said hesitantly, "is, what if—I mean, what if!"
