The years of welding at Hogwarts

Gryffindor spoke very slowly and hesitantly, "You don't seem to be surprised by anything here?"

"No, it was a little unexpected," Noah spread out his palms, "I didn't expect to see you in this place."

Unlike the Hogwarts headmaster's office in another world, which was covered with portraits of past generations, this office belonging to Gryffindor only had four lonely portrait frames hanging on the wall, and one of them was blank.

The portraits belonging to the other three founders were not given personality or memory and looked like just an ordinary oil painting. Of course, it is also possible that the original magic portraits stopped moving due to lack of maintenance.

"Before I set foot in this castle, I thought the person I was going to see would be Salazar Slytherin."

It must be the familiar name of Salazar Madara Slytherin that awakened the memories sleeping deep in the mind of Godric Hassy Gryffindor.

Gryffindor stood there for a long time, "Salazar?"

When this name was mentioned, Noah felt as if he heard an incomprehensible chuckle from Gryffindor's mouth, but looking at Gryffindor's calm appearance, it seemed that this was just an illusion.

"Given Salazar's personality, he is more like me than someone who would try every possible means to survive in this destroyed world at all costs."

Noah had no intention of accompanying a two thousand year old monster to reminisce about his youth and the good old days with Uchiha Salazar.

Seeing that Gryffindor's eyes were completely filled with memories, Noah couldn't help but interrupt his recollection of past memories and just repeated the question he had asked before.

"What on earth happened in this world to make it become what it is now?"

"The world... has become what it is now..."

The reminiscence in his eyes showed that Gryffindor was now trying hard to search deep into his mind, trying to find the key fragment that could answer Noah's question from those complicated memories.

After more than ten seconds, he slowly uttered a sentence that contained no useful information at all.

"It's a long, long story."

Leaning against the door frame, through the huge glass window behind Gryffindor, Noah saw the huge energy vortex that was slowly taking shape in the sky.

Although he had captured Gryffindor's key action of raising his hand and pressing on the hilt of the sword at his waist, Noah did not make any special reaction to this action that released key information.

"I think I should have enough time to listen to this story."

Gryffindor released his hand from the hilt of the sword, hunched over and slowly crawled to the back of the dusty desk, not minding at all that the chair he sat on was covered in dust.

Noah did almost the same thing, casually pulling over an armchair, but before sitting down he went through an extra step, using the "clean up" method to dust it off, unlike Gryffindor.

"It all started a long, long time ago."

Instead of getting straight to the point, he suddenly threw out a question. Gryffindor placed the long sword at his waist horizontally on the table, staring blankly at the sword that had accompanied him in battles for many years.

"Do you know the origin of wizards?"

There have always been many different theories about the origin of wizards in the magical world. Among them, the one with the most supporters and the most reasonable one is that it is a combination of humans and magical animals.

Well, people can’t, or at least shouldn’t.

But no matter what the process was, after obtaining the blood of magical animals, a small number of lucky people among humans began to gain magical powers, and over thousands or even tens of thousands of years, they gradually developed and multiplied into a huge population.

This is the origin of wizards.

However, this hypothesis cannot explain where the magic power flowing in the blood of those magical animals that originally lived on this planet came from and how it was produced.

This also means that, although the support rate for the theory of magical origins is the highest in the wizarding world, its status among the many theoretical hypotheses of the origin of wizards is far from the level of Darwin's theory of evolution in the hypothesis of human origins.

As a more rigorous academic, Noah naturally would not try to fool Gryffindor with such a specious and unproven theory, so he just shook his head silently a few times.

Gryffindor was not impressed.

Perhaps it was because his brain, which had not been used for a long time, was warmed up, and he, who originally spoke haltingly and slowly, gradually became fluent during the conversation.

“People have always been narrowly focused on the world we live in, but have never thought that the answers may exist in more distant places.”

As he said this, Gryffindor's lion eyes gradually became brighter, and his deep gaze seemed to penetrate the glass window, as well as the atmosphere outside that was filled with dust of various sizes, and reached the distant deep space of the universe.

"The Universe? You mean, aliens?"

Even though Noah was mentally prepared for what Gryffindor said, he still felt a strong sense of disobedience hitting his heart when he heard Gryffindor's answer.

"Do you believe in the existence of gods?"

God?

Gryffindor wasn't talking about the Celestials, was he?

Noah maintained a calm expression that showed deep disdain for the existence of gods, but his face was twitching constantly in his heart.

Originally, Noah thought that the world he lived in was very far away from the earth-shattering existences in the Marvel Universe, but he never expected that he would be in such a ghost place, hearing the name of the God of the Universe from the mouth of a deceased wizard whose style had nothing to do with the Marvel Universe.

Since it was difficult to explain how he knew the existence of the God of the Universe, Noah simply gave Gryffindor a negative answer.

"I don't believe it. In my opinion, those so-called gods are nothing more than some more powerful beings that are beyond people's cognition."

"Just like wizards who possess magical powers can be seen as miracles in the eyes of uninformed Muggles. The strange phenomena created by magic in their gestures can also be seen as miracles."

Noah looked at the Gryffindor in front of him with a slightly surprised look, "Could it be that you have seen the existence of God?"

"No, kid."

In response to Noah's question, Gryffindor just shook his head, "I haven't seen it."

Gryffindor glanced at Noah's serious expression and spread out his palms. A ball of materialized azure magic appeared in his hands like a dancing flame.

The surging magic power in Gryffindor's palm quickly spread into a shadowy light curtain, and the faint blue light illuminated Gryffindor's face.

"As much as I hate to admit it, it's true."

As Gryffindor finished his words, an illusory figure appeared on the light screen in front of him.

The body, including the head, was completely wrapped in dark golden metal armor. The surface of the heavy armor was penetrated by energy pathways emitting golden light.

The armored man in the light curtain did not look that tall, until a beautiful azure planet appeared beside him, and with the reference object for comparison, his huge size was highlighted.

It was a huge giant that stood tall and straight. The earth with a radius of 6371 kilometers was suspended beside it, just like a slightly larger egg that could just wrap around it.

Glancing at Noah who was sitting across from the desk, Gryffindor's expression was somewhat unreadable. "You don't seem to be that surprised by this?"

"On the contrary, I was surprised."

Noah's expressionless face showed no emotion. "I just don't know how I should react now."

He moved his gaze from the light curtain in Gryffindor's hand to the other person's face, "This is the god you mentioned, and we wizards are the descendants of these gods?"

"Rather than calling them descendants, it would be more appropriate to call them creations."

Gryffindor's lion eyes became brighter and brighter. "This mysterious advanced civilization visited our world tens of millions of years ago and planted the seeds of life, which led to the emergence of humans and a series of other creatures."

"Later, this mysterious civilization, which later generations called the 'Cosmic Gods', visited this world again. After collecting life specimens from this world at that time, they interfered with and modified the genes of early humans and some other animals."

"One of the gods designed a latent gene in the genes of early Homo erectus. This led to a group of people awakening an ability named "magic" during the evolution of humans in the future."

"This is the origin of wizards and magical animals with magical powers."

Noah did not speak, but just listened quietly to the story of the headmaster of Hogwarts from another world with an expression that said "are you kidding me?"

"As time went by, wizards, a special group among humans, gradually grew in size, until they established a glorious magical civilization that belonged only to wizards."

"until……"

Gryffindor's voice suddenly became low, and the blue planet that was originally floating above his palm also changed silently at this moment.

A bit of enchanting purple-black light bloomed on the surface of the planet, just like a drop of ink being poured into a cup of hot water, instantly spreading at an extremely fast speed.

The fluctuating and spreading purple-black energy infected most of this originally beautiful blue planet in the blink of an eye, and as time went by, the infected area was still expanding rapidly.

"Until it comes."

When the purple-black energy appeared, Noah had already made a very certain guess in his heart, but he still had a puzzled expression on his face, "Who?"

"Dormammu, the ruler of the dark dimension."

Gryffindor's sharp eyes swept across Noah's face. "Since you are familiar with the concept of the multiverse, you should know that there are infinitely many different worlds outside of our world."

"

Some of these worlds may be similar to the world we are familiar with, but there are also some special worlds, such as the dark dimension, which has no light at all and is filled with terrible magic flames and dark magic..."

Just as Gryffindor was telling Noah with an extremely solemn expression about the terrible past that this world had experienced, the blue planet floating above his palm quietly changed into another appearance.

A huge face formed entirely from pure energy, its huge size, just the head alone is no smaller than the god that Gryffindor just showed.

"And Dormammu is the ruler of such a dimension."

"He controls all the magic power of an entire dark dimension, but he is not satisfied with just that. Instead, he sets his sights on other worlds. The more other dimensions that are swallowed by the dark dimension, the stronger his power will become."

Although he understood every word Gryffindor said, and even without the other party's introduction, he knew what kind of existence Dormammu and the Celestials were.

But Noah really didn't understand. With the pitiful strength shown by the wizards in the world he was in before, who couldn't even cast a mere armor protection spell properly, how did they finally succeed in preventing the world from being assimilated by Dormammu and becoming a part of the dark dimension when facing Dormammu's invasion?

Even if they paid a painful price of complete destruction of civilization, this still can't explain it, right?

I don’t understand. I really can’t understand.

The confusion in his eyes was quickly suppressed by Noah. After coming to his senses, he raised his head again and looked at the Gryffindor in front of him. "So how did you finally repel this so-called dark dimension master?"

Hearing this question that went straight to the core, Gryffindor's old face couldn't help but show a hint of bitterness, "We have introduced the power of another dimensional demon."

Before Noah could ask which dimensional demon it was, Gryffindor took the initiative to speak.

"The God of Hades, Xithorn, the ruler of the Scarlet Dimension."

"Just when all of us were in despair, a witch was granted a high-level power called the power of chaos by Sithon due to an accident and coincidence."

When Noah heard the name of the god of the underworld, Xithorn, he was suddenly stunned.

So, the person lying quietly in the bronze coffin on the underground altar should be the witch who was endowed with the power of chaos as mentioned by Gryffindor?

Or should we call her Scarlet Witch?

That way, everything would make sense.

Although Sithon and Dormammu are both dimensional demons, just as the gap between people is sometimes hundreds of times greater than the gap between people and dogs, there are more or less differences between demons from different dimensions.

Just like Sithon, if we talk about combat power, Sithon, as the ruler of the Scarlet Dimension, is many times stronger than Dormammu, the ruler of the Dark Dimension.

It is precisely because of the difference in strength between the demons of the two dimensions that the Scarlet Witch in this world was able to repel Dormammu with part of the power of chaos she obtained from Sithon.

It's just that this world ended up being destroyed because of this earth-shattering battle.

"If I'm not mistaken, you should have seen her?"

It would have been better if Gryffindor didn't mention the man lying in the coffin waiting to die. When Noah heard this person, he couldn't help but feel a phantom pain in his chest.

Just a tentacle that condensed unconsciously directly made him half paralyzed. If he had not previously merged with Fox's phoenix bloodline, that sharp blow alone would have been enough to kill him.

"I have seen it, but the process was not very pleasant."

Noah rubbed his chest subconsciously. He still felt a stuffiness in his chest and didn't know if it was a sequelae of the serious injury.

Although this is an impossible thing.

Looking at Noah's appearance, Gryffindor knew without even looking at him what unpleasant things had happened during Noah's meeting with the Scarlet Witch.

He raised the corners of his mouth slightly. "Although she fell into a deep sleep due to the serious injuries she received in that battle, and has not shown any signs of waking up until today, her power cannot be underestimated."

Of course, Noah couldn't agree more with Gryffindor's statement.

Just when Noah was still immersed in the bizarre past of this destroyed world, he never expected that Gryffindor sitting opposite him suddenly stood up.

"Now that your curiosity has been satisfied, shouldn't you also hand over what's on you to me?"

"what?"

There was still a look of confusion on his face, but Noah's movements were not slow at all. In an instant he retreated to a distance of three meters away, putting some distance between him and this melee mage who was known as the greatest swordsman in the magic world throughout history.

While remaining alert, Noah's brain was working rapidly, going over in his mind all the items he had with him when he was thrown into this world by that old bastard in Slytherin.

But even so, he didn't

He wanted to understand what precious thing he was carrying that attracted Gryffindor so much that the founder of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in another world was willing to break off with him.

Looking at Noah's alert expression, Gryffindor opened his lips slightly and uttered an answer that even Noah himself did not expect -

"..."

(To be continued, hey)

Chapter 335 Infinite Stones and Time Tributaries

In a pile of messy and broken furniture, Noah and Gryffindor were facing each other several meters apart.

"what do you want?"

Carefully observing Noah's facial expression, Gryffindor's calm face suddenly showed a hint of understanding, "It seems that you really don't know anything about its existence."
