Hogwarts: From Selling White Peppers to Becoming a God

Chapter 437 Godric Gryffindor

The note contained the prophecy of the savior, but Murphy had made some changes and deletions.

But to Murphy's further disappointment, the latter glanced at it without any expression, saying, "I don't remember making such a prediction."

Some prophets may fall into a trance when making prophecies and not know what they are saying, such as Professor Trelawney. However, this is usually due to their insufficient magical power. Magic masters like Merlin usually do not have this problem.

But this prophecy could also be something he made in the future, or the information left on that note might be completely wrong, and it might not be Merlin's prophecy at all.

Moreover, Merlin might not have been telling the truth to a stranger like himself.

Murphy thought for a moment, then decided not to dwell on the matter further, and instead asked, "Has Archmage Merlin ever heard of the name Miriam?"

Merlin remained expressionless, but Murphy kept a close eye on his expression and keenly noticed the slight contraction of his pupils.

He knew Miriam.

"I've never heard of it," Merlin said. "Camelot is frequented by many people every day; you might as well inquire about it in the city."

Although the other person said this without batting an eye, Murphy knew he was lying.

However, he seemed oblivious to this, nodding regretfully, "Alright, that's the only way. Thank you, Archmage Merlin. I'll take my leave now."

As Murphy stepped out of Merlin's tower, the latter clapped his hands, and a young wizard apprentice came from a nearby room in response, "Lord Merlin, what are your orders?"

"Godrick, follow that wizard and see what he's doing in the city. Remember, use the magic I taught you to hide yourself and don't let him find you."

"Yes, sir." The apprentice named Godric had bright red hair and looked very young. After receiving the task, he took his staff, went out the door, chanted a spell, enveloped himself in a hazy light, and disappeared into thin air. He then chased after Murphy.

Meanwhile, Murphy had just left the tower when, with a thought, a lightning raven landed on the spire of a building and stared at Merlin's tower. He himself then circled around and came to a deserted alley, where he waited for a while.

Godric rushed into the alley. He had just been momentarily distracted when he saw Murphy dash into the alley, which was right across from a bustling market. Once Murphy disappeared from sight, finding him again would be a real problem.

As soon as he rushed into the alley, he saw Murphy standing at the end of the alley, seemingly waiting for something.

Godric was very confident in the invisibility spell that Professor Merlin had given him. He tiptoed closer, just about to see what Murphy was doing, when suddenly the latter turned around.

In his magical vision, a bright, pale blue figure crept stealthily toward him. Even without his magical vision, the figure's invisibility wasn't perfect. Moreover, although he tried his best to minimize the sound of his footsteps on the road, they still couldn't escape Murphy's ears.

Murphy had nothing to say to this apprentice; he simply launched a petrification spell using his own "petrifying venom" magic.

Caught off guard, Godric was immediately struck by the spell and watched helplessly as Murphy appeared before him, dispelling the magic with a wave of his hand.

Murphy raised his finger again, this time recreating the scene of using "Total Recall" on himself in his mind, only this time the object was the other person. He touched the other person's forehead with his finger and immediately opened the door to that person's memory.

Although there is no magic network now, he has fully recalled how he used it many times, and he knows the workings of this spell by heart.

Originally, it was a way of using Legilimency on oneself, but now it was being used on others in return, naturally achieving a similar effect. After a short while, Murphy had read most of the magic apprentice's life.

"Godric Gryffindor..." Murphy frowned. "This is quite unexpected."

Gryffindor is actually Merlin's student!

The fact that the founder of Hogwarts has now been given the identity of a grand-disciple a thousand years later gives Murphy a strange feeling, as if he is betraying his master and ancestors.

However, besides his Gryffindor identity, Murphy also obtained a lot of useful information.

First of all, Miriam did live in this era, and like Gryffindor, she was Merlin's apprentice and a member of the Merlin Order.

But for some reason, Miriam has been acting very strangely lately. She has repeatedly contradicted her teacher Merlin, even accusing him of committing a serious crime, which led to her being imprisoned by Merlin. It is said that she later tried to escape but failed and is still imprisoned in Camelot's dungeon.

The Order of Merlin has many members, all of whom are wizards. They are usually assigned various tasks by Merlin. Gryffindor and Miriam are not familiar with each other, and this information is all hearsay.

Now that they knew where he was, things became simple. Murphy casually cast an invisibility spell on the ancestor, then tossed him onto a rooftop and teleported back to Merlin's tower using lightning.

The latter had already left, while from the perspective of the Lightning Raven, Merlin was passing through several corridors and heading towards the lower area of ​​the castle.

With a thought, Murphy transformed into a raven and followed Merlin from a distance.

The latter descended the complex staircase to the bottom of the castle, arriving at an underground hall. Behind the hall, a cave led to an even deeper underground.

Merlin reached the entrance to the cave, then suddenly stopped and turned around. "Who's there!"

Murphy, in his raven form, was perched motionless on a jagged rock protruding from the wall, intending to deceive his opponent. But Merlin paused, brandishing his massive wand, and shouted, "Reveal your true form!"

A magical fluctuation swept by, and Murphy's transformation became unstable for a moment, almost causing him to fall off the rock. Merlin immediately noticed the commotion. Seeing that he had been discovered, Murphy no longer hid. With a movement, he transformed into a wisp of black smoke and landed on the ground. "Archmage Merlin, we meet again."

"Murphy the Wizard..." Merlin frowned, "Where is Godric?"

Murphy didn't answer the other person, but instead asked, "Where is Miriam?"

Merlin was silent for a moment, then finally sighed, "You really are that person. Miriam said there was someone I couldn't predict who would ruin my plans, and since your origins are unknown, my precognitive abilities don't work on you..."

At this point, Merlin looked at him and said, "I will not allow defeat. You shall die here, Murphy."

Murphy frowned. In all the literature, Merlin was portrayed as a sage. Why did this guy look like he had been caught plotting something?

It looks pretty low-class.

But he had already sensed a familiar magical power within that cave.

Murphy sighed as he watched the other party about to make a move.

It doesn't matter anymore.

Anyway, we've already fought Gryffindor, so what's one more Merlin?

He raised a finger, and with a crackling sound, a huge bolt of lightning flashed.

Merlin didn't even have a chance to cast a spell before collapsing to the ground, his body steaming.
