"White, try the bow Hercules gave you!"
White's world in a box.
His Muggle friend Hanson was following White excitedly, wanting to see what he had gained in the underworld.
"Wait until I finish feeding the animals here," White said.
This place is White's secret base. Like Tony's laboratory, it was built using space expansion technology and is connected through the box he often carries.
This is a small shed with simple decoration and a lot of storage cabinets. But even so, there are still some things scattered on the table. The warm kerosene lamp brings a very gentle light to the place.
There are some green plants, sofas, and a small bar, like a cafe built in nature.
Standing on the scaffolding on one side is a very special-looking eagle, which looks like a falcon in length, with a long neck, broad wings, long beak, short legs, and large feet that are not completely webbed.
Under its body, there are several broken-shell birds waiting to be fed.
White carefully took out a box of mealworms from a cabinet on one side and fed them to the birds bit by bit with tweezers.
The chirping of these birds even sounded like the sounds of cows, horses, and lions.
This was something new for Hansen.
"What kind of bird is this?"
"Berbery," White said while feeding the bird, "is a magical bird in the mythology of the Scottish Highlands. It has ever-changing abilities and can transform into any creature at will. It is the most brilliant assassin.
It can make the cry of a wounded cub to lure adult beasts to the water's edge and drown them.
Already nearly extinct in the Fairy Land, I found the last pair. "
Almost all the people here are magical creatures that are about to become extinct. They cannot survive in nature or are taken in by him for other reasons.
He is mainly responsible for the research, protection and reproduction of these creatures.
There is a reason for any creature to exist in the world, and maintaining the diversity of species is the obligation of every student of the Druid Academy.
Hansen nodded.
"Your bread is delicious." White said, "If it weren't for your bread, we might not even be able to enter the gates of Hades."
Hansen smiled proudly, "Of course!"
After feeding the animals in the room, White walked out of the room carrying an iron bucket full of fish. The world outside was even more different. Hansen saw the dark lake, the vast plains, the sand, and the seven or eight The different terrains are separated by wooden boards.
In a sense, this space is larger than Tony's laboratory, but most of it is actually a projection, and the real space is not as big as it seems.
Different weather spells are used in different areas here to simulate the habitats of different creatures.
Hansen saw many small birds flying among them, all of which could not be seen in the world.
White came to the plain ecological compartment. There was not a single creature on the plain, but soon, Hansen felt a strong wind blowing from nowhere.
He slowly raised his head and looked at the source of the strong wind. A monster with a griffin's head and body was flapping its wings and slowly landed next to White.
White stretched out his hand, and the gryphon-headed monster slowly lowered its head and let him stroke it. The warm sunlight projected down from the sky, shining on White's body and the gryphon-headed monster.
The feathers of the griffin monster were very shiny, shimmering in the sunlight.
White lowered his head and whispered to the griffin monster.
Hansen looked at this scene slightly absent-mindedly, feeling that this scene was like what was told in many epic legends.
"His name is Griffin." White turned to Hansen and said, "It's a gryphon. When we found it, it was hit by goblin technology and penetrated the chest and abdomen. It took me seven days to rescue it. .
I don’t know if there is still a female griffin in the world, otherwise, it may become extinct. "
"Even the last place where magical creatures live: the land of goblins, is gradually no longer suitable for magical creatures to survive." He whispered.
Hansen nodded, but he was still a little afraid of the gryphon and didn't dare to get close.
White seemed to want to say something, but soon, their thoughts were interrupted by violent tremors in the entire space inside the box.
The ground was trembling, and the magical creatures around him began to stir.
"What's wrong?" Hansen said in panic.
White did not speak, but directly pulled Hansen out of here and walked out of the box through the upward stairs.
They were now on the Skytrain, preparing to return to Britannia. Hanson had been staying at Hogwarts these days and had just left with him today.
The train hummed and moved at a constant speed in the air, with steam gushing from the front and the whistle blowing, surrounded by an endless sea of clouds.
However, the train seemed to be under attack at this moment, as a group of masked magicians were floating around the train on broomsticks.
The conductors on the train were holding magic wands to resist the magicians, but the people around them were obviously elites. Under the impact of the magic light, they directly knocked down the conductors and walked onto the train through the front.
White quickly closed the box and pulled Hansen towards the back.
"Who are those people?" Hansen was obviously still confused.
"Who else could it be?" White said. "The people from Gaward should be here to steal the divine bow."
"How do they know you have this bow?" he asked puzzledly.
"Gayward has the ability to predict future fragments." White pulled Hansen back and said solemnly, "He should have shown it when he gave a speech. He is the best divination wizard, than Ai Booth is still good.”
"So what do we do now?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a masked wizard walked into the car behind him.
Without any hesitation, White took out his wand, turned them all to stone, and threw it away.
His reaction speed was faster than that of the wizard. The wizard was hit as soon as he took out the magic war and fell straight to the ground.
White pulled Hansen and continued walking backwards.
Hansen looked at the person on the ground in confusion, "Is he dead?"
"Petrified," White said, "but not dead."
They quickly reached the last carriage. It was not the beginning of school, and Sky Island itself had a small population, so there was basically no one on the train, at least who was behind it.
But just when White opened the back door and was about to leave here on a magic broomstick.
A ray of magic hit the hand holding the box directly, knocking his box to the ground.
White didn't hesitate at all. When he turned around, a ray of magic shot out. The man in black not far away also passed through a ray of light. The magic power of the two people collided with each other, and the raging light shone in it.
But White's magic power is obviously greater. The water from the River of Fire that he drank in Hades was divine food, and the increase in magic power was considerable. It can be said that White has been completely transformed after coming out of Hades.
At least in the human world, his magic power is second only to Gaward and Albus, two geniuses blessed by fate.
"boom!"
The terrifying magic power directly knocked the man in black away several meters away.
White lowered his head and quickly picked up the box on the ground, but another magical light came from behind. White raised his hand and magic surged out, knocking back the light, and at the same time, he applied an armor to himself and Hansen. Protect yourself.
Several rays of magic light shot at White's body at the same time. In addition to the conventional petrification and flying wands, these magic spells even included the Unforgivable Curse.
Some were bounced off by White's armor, but the Unforgivable Curse armor was indefensible. Although it was weakened a little, the intense pupils also eroded his soul.
The veins on his forehead popped out and he looked extremely painful, but he gritted his teeth and held on.
As the light dissipated, White also used his wand to draw two Ogham characters in the air. The words lit up with light, and thick vines surged out from the words and crashed into the black magicians on both sides.
One of the magicians standing at the end of the train was directly knocked away and fell thousands of meters into the air.
The magician behind White was smarter and directly used the fire spell. The raging flames burned on Tengman and quickly devoured him.
As the flames burned Tengman into ashes, the magician continued to prepare to use magic, and White immediately turned around and prepared to fight back.
However, Hansen seemed to have discovered something and shouted, "Be careful, White!"
White reacted immediately. Just outside the train, a magician riding a broom was pointing the wand in his hand at White.
The radiance of magic shot out, but White could no longer react.
But soon, another ray of light shot over from one side, blocking the blow for White.
When he came to his senses, another magician was hit by a bolt of lightning and fell directly from the sky.
At the same time, there was another person in the carriage, and it was Dumbledore.
"Professor," White said.
"follow me."
Albus raised his hand and grabbed White and Hansen, using the phantom to take them away from the train.
There is an anti-Apparition spell in this world, and using it at will without confirming the environment may cause the risk of splitting. This is why they did not use Apparition to move.
But obviously, Albus is more talented and bold.
When they opened their eyes again, they came to the plains of Britannia. At first glance, they could see dense forests and occasional rolling hills, and in the distance were the buildings of the imperial capital.
Although Apparating is very convenient, there are actually many limitations. For example, if the distance is too far, there is a risk of being separated. Apparition is not possible in many special places.
Therefore, wizards usually use trains, ships, etc. to travel far away.
Only particularly skilled wizards, such as Albus, can perform intercontinental disapparation.
Hansen had obviously never experienced such a long phantom transition. He fell to the ground dizzy and retched on the ground.
"Hansen." White tried to help him up, but he waved his hand, "I'm fine, let me slow down for a while."
"Professor." White looked at Albus and said, "The Witch Party may already know."
"I'm not surprised by this." Albus murmured in a low voice, "But now, there are more important things."
He handed the newspaper in his hand to White, "Take a look."
White took the newspaper with doubts and looked at the contents. There was a very conspicuous headline on it.
[The Magic Association drops all charges against Gayward Hognidd. 】
His pupils shrank slightly and he looked at White in disbelief.
"How could it be possible? Why would President William do this?"
"Maybe he has also defected to Gaiward." Hansen said frustratedly, "Then what else can we do? We can go home and wash up and sleep."
"He probably won't stand on the same front as Gayward." Albus murmured in a low voice, "It should be to avoid civil war. The magical world can no longer bear a second civil war like the one in the past."
"Public opinion in the wizarding world now favors Gaward. He has a large number of supporters, and William has been in power for a long time. People are eager to replace him with a more decisive leader.
He had to give them the right to speak out, so he dropped the charges against Gayward, chose to resign, and announced the election of a new president of the Magic Association. "
"If he loses the election, it will be the will of the people, and the fire he lit may be extinguished a little."
"He has many supporters, so he must have been chosen," Hansen said.
"Not necessarily." Albus murmured in a low voice, "Magicians all have higher education, and there will be more rational ones."
"Will you run for election?" White asked, "You are the principal of Hogwarts. Most magicians come from Hogwarts. You will definitely be able to convince the public, and your prestige will not be inferior to that of Hogwarts." Gayward.”
"William expects the same." Albus said.
He looked at White, "Do you want me to be this president?"
White was silent for a moment and said, "To be honest, you are better suited to the school. The Magic Association is too bureaucratic and you would be out of place there."
Albus whispered with deep eyes, "Yes."
"Or, let Mr. Merlin make the choice himself. His words are absolute in the magical world," White said.
Albus smiled and shook his head, "He won't interfere in such things."
"That"
"I've made up my mind," Ibbs said.
He looked at White, "During this period, the people in Gaward will definitely try their best to find you. He has the ability to predict. No matter where you escape, you will definitely be found by him."
"What should we do?" Hansen said.
"For him, conspiracy has no effect, so we will use conspiracy."
Albus handed the document in his hand to White.
White took the document and looked at it. It was the work contract for Merlin Tavern.
"You want me to work in the Merlin Tavern?" White was a little confused, "But isn't that a place where all magicians go?"
Suddenly, he seemed to realize something, and murmured softly, "That's also a place where all magicians dare not be arrogant."
"No one dares to use magic to cause trouble in the tavern opened by Merlin, not even Gayward."
"So, that is also the safest place." Albus said, "So what if he knows your location? We will tell them where you are and see if they dare to risk offending Merlin to come to you. "
"I see."
Albus stretched out his hand and grabbed the hands of White and Hansen. Following the transformation, he came directly to the door of the Merlin Tavern in the imperial capital, and led them to open the door and walk in.
There were already many people sitting in the tavern, and people were whispering to each other, but even so, the tavern was very quiet. They dare not make a loud noise, because loud noise is also one of the prohibitions of the tavern.
"You go find Mr. Semmerer to get hired, and I'll go find someone else."
After explaining, Albus walked into the corridor on the right. Guests were not allowed to enter here, but with Albus's reputation, he could get in by swiping his face.
He walked through the corridor and came to the door at the end of the corridor. This door was very simple and was a bit out of tune with the surrounding decoration style, as if it had been forced in.
He reached out and knocked on the door.
After a while, with the doorbell ringing, the door opened, and Alicia stood behind the door.
Behind the door is Char's castle.
The tavern was the first place connected to the castle gate, but because more and more magicians came to the tavern to "pilgrimage" in recent years, Char reshaped the door and placed it in a relatively hidden place.
"Xia Meilin is not here." Alicia said.
"I'm here to find you, Professor Alicia."
Alicia frowned slightly, but still let Albus into the living room and poured him a cup of tea. As the aroma of tea gradually dissipated, Albus slowly spoke.
"I came here to ask you a favor."
Albus looked at Alicia with sincere eyes.
"Three days later, the wizarding world will hold an election, and Gaward will also become a candidate to participate in the election."
Alicia narrowed her eyes slightly, "You want me to help you persuade Merlin to intervene in this matter?"
"No." Albus shook his head, "I hope you will try your best to keep him in this place on that day."
Alicia raised her eyebrows in surprise, but quickly calmed down and continued to silently raise the tea cup in her hand to take a sip.
"Why?"
"I'm not sure where the professor stands," Ibbs said.
"Where do you think he stands?"
"I used to think that he was neutral, independent of the magic world, and did not interfere with the magic world." Albus's voice was calm and his hands were crossed, showing that he was nervous.
Alicia looks much younger than Albus. Probably no one would have thought that Alicia is actually his elder.
"Not long ago, the Gayward Witch Party poisoned Mordred to death, and the professor expressed to me his intention to intervene.
Thinking about it, it was what Gaward did that touched his bottom line. "
Alicia raised her chin slightly, "I think you are overthinking it."
After a pause, she said, "But if he really plans to intervene, wouldn't it be a good thing for you?"
"Yes." Albus murmured in a low voice, "If the professor takes action, no one can question his decision, but..."
He paused for a moment, "The current conflicts in the magic world can no longer be solved by the origin of magic by forcefully suppressing them.
This contradiction will be buried, piled up, and explode at some point in the future.
At that time, there will only be more people in the magic world, and humans will be more powerful, causing more casualties.
Of course, this is only one of the reasons, the other is my personal reason. "
He raised his head and looked at Alicia, his decision already made in his eyes.
"I wanted to be done with him myself."
