Ancient Wizards Return to Hogwarts...

Chapter 160 Aren't you also living off the legacy of your ancestors?

Like the other wizards, the three of them descended from the stands and walked slowly toward the castle.

As they walked, Capricorn said, "The reason Gryffindor was able to severely wound Odin, the king of the gods, and plunge the immortal Odin into an eternal slumber, was because they used the cursed sword of gods, which was placed on him by the goblin king Legnark I. Once we obtain this sword, we too can possess power comparable to that of the gods."

Upon hearing Capricorn's words, Rice's assessment was: "It's hard for him to hold back."

He didn't know why later generations had spread such rumors, but as far as he knew, Gryffindor's sword was really just an ordinary goblin-forged sword...

And you guys really know how to glorify the Norse false gods! "Eternal slumber," what a ridiculous phrase, how could they even come up with something like that—this god-king must have had a very good sleep, right? After all, he didn't even wake up when his skull was used to make a crown.

He felt helpless in the face of these later generations' imaginations. He didn't understand why some people always thought that an ordinary person could become invincible after getting a specific weapon.

The sword of Gryffindor is like this, and so is the legendary Elder Wand.

One could kill gods with a single pick-up, while the other would never be defeated once you became its master—Rice thought both were quite absurd.

There are also things like the "Sword in the Stone," which seem to have done something earth-shattering and awe-inspiring since birth, and are quietly stuck in the stone. Whoever pulls it out will become the king of the entire land.

Isn't that utter nonsense?

What's the difference between this and picking a support character in a game, then relying on a carry to win and saying that the carry was able to win because they were matched with a support like me?

Legendary people always come first, and then legendary items follow.

The Capricorn of the Secret Order felt that Voldemort was mentally unstable and was unwilling to recruit him. Rhys shared this view of the Secret Order members. He felt that none of the three were mentally sound.

He remained hidden underground, silently following the three men, intending to make his move when they reached the edge of the Forbidden Forest. By then, they would be far enough from the pitch and the castle that they wouldn't attract too much attention.

Daphne should be resting by now, right? Rice guessed she was probably already asleep.

He had just used a clever trick, using a transformed avatar to lure Daphne back to the castle lounge, with the aim of preventing her from getting involved in the battle with the Secret Order.

To her, these three members of the secret order were still too dangerous.

"It's hard to find a minor villain like Quirrell with mediocre strength!" Rice exclaimed sincerely.

At the end of the school year, he really wanted to spare Quirrell's life. It would be such a waste to discard such a precious teaching material after only using it once! If it were recycled, it could provide Daphne with several years of training!

Unfortunately, by the time he met Quirrell, he had already been completely drained by Voldemort and was beyond saving.

Instead of obediently going back to sleep as Rice had expected, Daphne sensed something was amiss and made a somewhat foolish but extremely useful decision: she would wait outside the bathroom until Rice came out.

This really made her discover the problem: Rice seemed to have dissolved into the bathhouse; once she went in, she never came out again.

After waiting for a long time without seeing Rice come out, Daphne mustered her courage and rushed into the bathroom. After looking around inside, she clenched her fists.

Just as she expected, Rice shook her off and ran away secretly; there was no trace of him in the bathroom!

……

Rice had no idea that his little trick had been seen through. He only knew that the three members of the Secret Order in front of him were not the kind of small fry who could be easily dealt with. The old man named Capricorn had actually mastered the domain!

However, after his domain was summoned, Rice suddenly smiled with relief.

Capricorn stood at the edge of the Forbidden Forest, gently waving his arms. As he moved his arms, a thin layer of mist appeared at the edge of the Forbidden Forest.

"We're in luck tonight; the humidity is high." Capricorn seemed to be in high spirits, even becoming more talkative: "It's perfect for the development of [Fog]. Vigo, Sagittarius, you two need to work harder and comprehend the domain as soon as possible. If you can't comprehend the domain, you'll never amount to anything."

Capricorn's words deeply stung Sagittarius's heart. Although he was very unhappy, he couldn't find a reason to refute them because what Capricorn said was the absolute truth.

Vigo nodded, indicating that he would study the divine remains more when he returned, striving to open his own domain as soon as possible.

Seeing that his teammates all had this attitude, Sagittarius could only shrug and say that he didn't have any good solutions for things like domains, and if he couldn't figure it out, he just couldn't figure it out.

"I really have been participating in the research; if you don't believe me, look at the usage records of the quiet room in the organization!"

Capricorn feels that Sagittarius has completely ruined their good mood.

Somewhat irritated, he accelerated the opening of the domain, and soon a thin mist completely covered the lawn outside the castle.

Perhaps due to rising moisture, fine raindrops began to fall from the sky, bringing a chill.

The mist began to gather around the three of them, in accordance with Capricorn's plan. This mist would provide them with a very convenient protection, making their movements undetectable by magic. More importantly, the three of them would move at an astonishing speed within this mist, allowing them to escape the battle as quickly as possible even if they were discovered by the school's teachers.

But just as the mist was getting closer to Capricorn, he suddenly felt something was wrong: even in the rain, the mist was gathering way too fast.

Something is wrong!

"Activate the Divine Remains at full power, quick!" Capricorn roared.

Although Sagittarius and Vigo didn't understand why Capricorn had gone mad, out of respect for his strength, they immediately activated the divine remains fused to their bodies.

Sagittarius's eyes suddenly lost their luster, the whites of his eyes became cloudy, and the veins on his face turned bluish-purple. Vigo's skin turned a deathly grayish-white, and a faint stench of decay slowly wafted through the air.

"Aren't you also just living off the legacy of your ancestors? What's even more ridiculous is that those false gods aren't even your ancestors; you're just a bunch of tomb raiders."

A young voice rang out in the air.

The next moment, the mist on Capricorn's chest instantly condensed into an ice spike, piercing his heart as he looked on in disbelief.

The second update will be later, so you can watch it in the morning.

Today's funny picture—Luna in a Japanese anime style (though it would also be quite fitting to call her Daphne).
