Hogwarts: Wizards of Eternity.

Chapter 119 No one knows Greece better than me.JPG
"Is this your Ministry of Magic?"

Not only Harry, but even Roger was shocked.

Just like his visit to Germany, in order to avoid causing unnecessary misunderstandings, Roger contacted the Ministry of Magic in Greece in advance.

But the situation in the Greek Ministry of Magic is completely different from that in the German Ministry of Magic.

If the German Ministry of Magic is a modern political institution with a relatively complete structure, then the Greek Ministry of Magic can only be described as a makeshift team.

Many of the books Roger had read were works by ancient Greek wizards. Before he actually set foot on this land, he had never thought that the wizarding world here was like this.

The world of wizards was both familiar and unfamiliar to Roger. It was familiar because he had read a lot of knowledge in books, and it was unfamiliar because people would not write everything in books.

Subjectivity and prejudice are mixed in the pages of the book, making it difficult to distinguish. At least the situation in the German wizarding world is slightly different from what Roger expected.

In many books, Germany is a place where dark wizards are rampant.

But when he really got there, Roger discovered that even though the Cold War had ended, everyone's impression of it was still stuck in the World War II era.

And here in Greece, this feeling is even stronger.

"Times have changed." A muscular Greek man with tanned skin next to him said with a hearty smile.

June to September every year is the peak season for tourism in Greece. Not only do Muggles like to come here, but many wizards also come here to "trace their roots."

It is common to feel disappointed when arriving here because Greece is so different from what you imagined it to be.

As the director of diplomacy in the Greek Ministry of Magic, Nikolaos was already accustomed to this.

"Okay, come in, we'll register first." Facing the greeting from Nicolaou, Director of the Greek Diplomatic Department, Roger and Harry looked at each other, and then followed his pace.

Walked into the Tower of the Winds located near the ancient Roman Agora.

The Tower of the Winds is a building built by the ancient Greeks to observe the weather. The outer wall here is carved with many wind gods in charge of different wind directions. It sounds very impressive, but it is actually not very big, not even half the height of a seven-story residential building.

It looks rather shabby from the outside. It has become a tourist attraction for Muggles, and the entrance to the Greek Ministry of Magic is in a corner inside.

After passing through the magic door and stepping inside, there is no scene like in the Peach Blossom Spring where the exterior is simple but the interior is a different world.

It's just... quite simple.

If you have never seen magic, you might find it novel.

But after seeing the huge golden rune sky of the British Ministry of Magic, the neat layout and elevator passages, the ingenious combination of magic and modern culture, and the hall of the German Ministry of Magic, which is not exquisite but equally simple and elegant, looking at the Greek Ministry of Magic...

If I have to make an analogy, it's a beggar's version of Hogwarts Castle.

It has some magical qualities, but it’s not very suitable as the political center of a country.

"In fact, most of the original wizards in Greece have already run away. The wizards living in Greece now are all latecomers... Do you know Greece in Muggle history?" On the way to the registration office, Director Nicolao continued the previous topic.

"I know a thing or two." Roger said modestly.

After realizing the difference between what he learned from books and the real world, he would not be too confident.

"Then you should know that the ancient Greece that people generally think of is the period from about 600 to 300 or 400 BC."

Roger nodded. That was around the Zhou Dynasty in the East. The family of Mr. Ollivander, the maker of the wand he was using now, also started making wands around this period.

"At that time, ancient Greek civilization was relatively prosperous compared to other regions. The rise of Muggle philosophy promoted the development of magic from an ideological level. Some later magic systems had already taken shape during that period."

"The International Statute of Secrecy is something that has only been around for a few hundred years. In those ancient times, Muggles and wizards were very closely connected, and the royal families of many countries often had inextricable ties with wizards."

"In other words, in the national structure, countries without wizards have been swallowed up by countries with wizards." Nicolao continued.

Roger knew this. The magic of wizards was overwhelmingly powerful to Muggles. But as long as there was a wizard willing to lead the way...

"There were conflicts between wizards, and in that era when magic skills had not yet become systematic and mature, there were many opportunities for 'wild wizards' to become extremely powerful."

To put it simply, if one side has a wizard and the other side does not, the side with the wizard will win. But if both sides have wizards, then whose wizard is stronger is no longer the decisive factor in winning or losing.

Which side of the Muggles has more soldiers and horses is the key on the battlefield.

"Ancient Rome, Byzantium, Ottoman Empire, Greece were destroyed time and again by foreign races. Now it is not easy to find a Greek whose ancestors have not been mixed-blooded." "Those powerful wizards have already fled to other parts of Europe. Who is willing to risk death at the hands of the Muggle army and coexist with this weak place?"

At this point, Nikolao, who always had a bright smile on his face, looked unusually depressed.

Individual wizards have far greater power than Muggles, but from ancient times to the present, Muggles have been the main theme of this world.

When Muggles start a war, wizards must stay out of its way.

With a sigh from Nikolao, several people came to the registration office.

"Eh? That person seems to be from Ravenclaw..."

There were quite a few people queuing in front of the registration office. Roger and Harry even saw one or two familiar-looking little wizards who were being held hands by their parents.

As mentioned before, June to September is the peak tourist season in Greece, and there are many wizards coming here, which is different from Germany.

On the one hand, Germany has a bad reputation, with many dark wizards. On the other hand, the two Germanys have just been unified, and in the eyes of many people, it is quite turbulent there and not a good place to travel.

"Come on, come here." Nicholas called out.

He did not let Roger and Harry queue up with ordinary wizard tourists. They had special reception areas for special guests.

...The Ministry of Magic identity that the school board gave to Roger is very convenient in many places.

When he traveled abroad, he was not only a first-year wizard at Hogwarts, but also represented the reputation of the British Ministry of Magic.

Just like the German Ministry of Magic will send Charlotte, an employee of the Department of International Magical Cooperation, to accompany them throughout the trip.

The Greek Ministry of Magic must also make a statement, otherwise it would be too diplomatically rude.

After all, if you round it off, Roger is actually roughly equivalent to the Minister of Railways, the highest official in charge of an industry.

And if the virtual reality industry really becomes popular, the significance of Roger's position will be even more terrifying.

Britain's status in the world today is not low, and so does the British Ministry of Magic. To show its importance, the Greek Ministry of Magic, a small country, even had its director come over in person to greet them.

In fact, the so-called registration is that the Greek Ministry of Magic educates foreign tourists about some local legal taboos and attaches tracking threads to tourists' wands to monitor their spellcasting records. The wizarding world also has the concept of national borders. When you are in a place, you must abide by the laws of that place.

Unlike Germany, as a country with a booming tourism industry, the relevant measures here are very sound.

Because many wizards come here to pay homage to the relics of ancient wizards, many measures are necessary to prevent some careless guys from causing damage to the relics and former residences.

While being received by Nicolao, Roger also told him frankly about his "Time Phantom Shuttle Spell".

"...You mean, you can use magic to watch images from the past at will?!"

"It's not random. Images from tens or millions of years ago are beyond my ability." Roger explained.

Roger adopted a different strategy here than he had in the German Ministry.

The German Ministry of Magic had a lot of dark history. If Roger had said directly that he wanted to 'look at your browser history', they might have simply refused him entry.

But it is different in Greece. It is better to get straight to the point at the beginning.

In Roger's expectation, Greece would not overreact in this regard.

But it was beyond Roger's expectations.

The reaction from the Greek Ministry of Magic was huge.

But it’s in another direction!
"Dear prophet, please, please, please agree to my accompanying you. This is my lifelong request! I know all the places with wonderful history very well. No one knows Greece better than me!"

Nicolao held Roger's hand tightly and was reluctant to let go for a long time.

...Ah this?
