Chapter 501 The Board of Directors Has Decided that You Will Be the Headmaster of Hogwarts
Rice and the other two naturally had no objection to Godric's wish.
Their first thought after waking up was to take a look at Hogwarts a thousand years later.
Well, this statement is not quite accurate. The first thought of Rowena, Helga and Godric after waking up was to beat Salazar up...
The second thought was to take a look at the current Hogwarts.
But Rice himself did not realize this.
The four of them walked out of the dungeon along the path and came to the first floor hall.
Godric opened his eyes wide: There are so many torches and candles, Hogwarts is really rich. And these oil paintings on the wall are all very beautiful, and the armor in the corner looks pretty good!
He looked around like a bumpkin who came to the city for the first time, wishing to take in everything.
When he entered the hall, Godric's eyes were completely wide.
Such luxurious decorations are not comparable to Odin's temple.
However, the shadow of Hogwarts in the past can still be seen from some large frames, such as the iconic ceiling.
Just as the three of them were walking around the castle with Godric, Dumbledore appeared.
The old man did not leave the school as soon as the holiday ended, but stayed in the castle for a while to get in touch with the principals who chose to stay in the UK.
After the invasion of the underworld began, he was even busier. Every day, he had to reply to a lot of letters to keep wizards around the world calm, and occasionally he had to accept interviews from newspapers and help from the Ministry of Magic.
In this unprecedented great change, Dumbledore experienced what it means to be in troubled times.
Under such high-intensity work, he was a little exhausted physically and mentally.
After all, no matter how strong his magic power is, he is a centenarian after all. Other elderly people at his age can still take care of themselves, which is quite good, how can they continue to work?
What's more, his mission is now infinitely close to saving the world.
Dumbledore himself felt that if it weren't for the help of the field, he might lie down on the bed and sleep one day.
At this critical moment, he chose to seek help from several big men in Hogwarts, that is, the foundation of the school, hoping that they could help him share the burden on his shoulders.
As a result, when he came to the corridor on the first floor, he actually saw the three people gathering with Godric!
Dumbledore was stunned at first, and then overjoyed.
With the characteristics of the three people, they would never let Loki out, so the person in front of him was undoubtedly the real Godric Gryffindor!
That would be great, especially at this time.
Hogwarts, and even the entire wizarding world, needs the power of these four people.
Dumbledore strode towards the four people. When he saw their faces, he felt that his fatigue was swept away, and his body was more like thirty years younger.
"Professor Dumbledore, you haven't..." Helga wanted to say go home, but considering that Dumbledore was homeless like them, she changed her words in time when she said it: "... Start to enjoy the holiday?"
But this sentence didn't work very well.
Dumbledore sighed and smiled bitterly.
"Professor White, you should know that the underworld has invaded and the whole world is in chaos. How can I enjoy my vacation?"
You know, Dumbledore's identity is not only the headmaster of Hogwarts, but also the chairman of the International Confederation of Wizards, the chief wizard of the Wizengamot, and a series of other titles.
Since he has such a title, he must bear the corresponding obligations.
Dumbledore can't sit idly by and watch the fate of the wizarding world. Although he has been unwilling to leave Britain like a ghost for more than half a century, he will still provide some help within his ability.
Hufflepuff nodded, indicating that he did speak out of turn.
Godric on the side was stunned.
What is the invasion of the underworld? Wasn't the underworld sealed by the four of us?
After seeing the confused expression on Godric's face, Helga took the initiative to explain to Godric what happened in Hogwarts at the end of the last school year, which silenced Gryffindor.
I didn't expect that after so many years, I would have to face such a mess when I woke up again. Is my fate to keep running around? Godric couldn't help but complain that he didn't seem to have a few days of peace in his life.
However, after feeling the breath of the three old friends around him, Godric regained his calm. The old friends are still there, and at most they will fight again.
They have solved all the Nordic gods in their heyday, and they are not afraid of some guys who ran back from the underworld.
"Let's ensure the safety and stability in the UK first," Les said softly, "otherwise it will damage the prestige of Hogwarts."
Dumbledore glanced at the boy who was a head shorter than him, and thought to himself, you finally don't act anymore, right?
Lestan faced Dumbledore's eyes frankly.
He is now just an ordinary fourth-year student at Hogwarts, and he came back to see his teacher during the holidays.
"Oh, by the way, there is something I forgot to tell you." Les told everyone that he saved a plane on his way back.
Helga and Godric were stunned.
Has the old venomous snake changed his character? Why would he take the initiative to save the Muggles?
When everyone was adventuring together before, Salazar always preferred to do less. If the other party could not give him enough chips to impress him, he would definitely choose to stand by and watch.
Such a person would actually take the initiative to save a plane of Muggles?
How come Loki took over Gryffindor's body, and Gryffindor's soul, which had nowhere to go, took over yours?
Rowena understood Salazar's intention when he was halfway through.
"That plane was in the UK, right? Then you did the right thing. We can't just sit back and watch those evil spirits trample on the rules set by Headmaster Dumbledore."
Rice nodded. He said that he took action entirely for the sake of Dumbledore and the Hogwarts he represented behind him.
"Oh!"
"I see!"
Helga and Godric smiled at each other. That's right! This is indeed something Salazar can do.
He may have all kinds of problems, but he is in the lawful camp after all.
Dumbledore was quite surprised. He didn't expect that he had such a big face that he could drive such a person to defend his promise. But he immediately realized that this person was probably willing to cooperate because of his identity as the headmaster of Hogwarts.
If it were someone else, they wouldn't have such a big face.
The four people in front of them have already stood at the top of mankind and are truly people who can do whatever they want.
After a few simple chats, the strategy of the magic world was decided.
They had to stabilize the situation in the UK first and wait and see.
After talking about these things, Rowena, Helga and Les exchanged glances quickly. They thought they should talk about something interesting.
"Professor Dumbledore, how old are you this year?" Helga took the lead in bringing up the topic.
Dumbledore raised his eyebrows, and he keenly sensed a hint of unusual smell.
Could it be that...?
"By July this year, it will be 114 years old." Dumbledore suppressed his excitement and said in a relatively calm tone.
All four were surprised.
They knew Dumbledore was very old, but they didn't expect him to be so old. It's no wonder that his influence in the Ministry of Magic is gradually declining, because he is too old. The Ministry of Magic and the Daily Prophet may have even prepared his obituary in advance.
At this age, he really shouldn't be under high-intensity work pressure.
"The job of the headmaster of Hogwarts must be very stressful." Rowena whispered.
Dumbledore immediately understood what she meant, and his eyes lit up.
The reason why he had been the headmaster of Hogwarts before was because he had no choice. Tom Riddle had been lurking in the shadows like a venomous snake, threatening the safety of Hogwarts, which made him dare not hand over the position of the headmaster of Hogwarts to others.
No one in the school's teachers was Tom's opponent, so he had to be the old man.
As the days passed and he gradually aged, Dumbledore felt a little uneasy. He was afraid that after he passed away, no one would be able to check the man who fell into darkness.
Now his uneasiness has disappeared.
After he retired, there were still Godric, White, Arius and the others. After these two people, there was also Les Lint. The talent curve of the entire Hogwarts was extremely healthy. Apart from anything else, if Les Lint was really as old as he showed, then Hogwarts would not have to worry about the top combat power for the next 70 years.
The reason why he had not retired was entirely because of the sudden invasion of the underworld, which made him have to stay in this position and stabilize people's hearts with the huge prestige he had accumulated over the past hundred years.
Now that they mentioned this matter, it means that they are ready, and it is time to hand over the position of the principal.
So Dumbledore immediately followed Professor Arius' words.
"The work pressure is really too great. To be honest, if it weren't for the underworld, I would have submitted my resignation at the end of the semester."
Godric, who was standing aside, suddenly became solemn. He knew that he was about to face a disaster.
He instinctively wanted to resist his "fate", so he said: "The situation is urgent now, Professor Dumbledore, why don't you -"
"We should give the position of principal to someone with more prestige." Dumbledore sensed the retreat in Gryffindor's tone, and he made a prompt decision to stop Godric before he finished speaking.
"You, Godric Gryffindor, the founder of Hogwarts, one of the greatest wizards in the history of magic, a legend from a thousand years ago, are undoubtedly the best candidate. I believe you can lead the teachers and students of Hogwarts through the current underworld crisis, and then develop Hogwarts to a thriving stage. Professor White, Professor Arius, what do you two think of this candidate?"
"Great."
"Perfect as it can be!"
Helga, Rowena and Les immediately took over Dumbledore's words and praised Godric.
Compliments like "the greatest of the four giants", "a symbol of courage", "the greatest hymn of mankind is the hymn of courage" were said without cost, with only one purpose: to put Godric on the headmaster's throne.
Godric was dumbfounded, and he had never expected that things would turn out this way.
He knew that with his three good friends around, he would become the headmaster of Hogwarts sooner or later, but he was chosen as the headmaster less than half an hour after his resurrection. Wasn't it a bit too hasty?
Godric wanted to say something, but Rice and the other two didn't give him a chance. The three of them formed a "凵" character, surrounded Godric in the middle, and then pushed him to the staff seat in the auditorium.
After arriving at the staff seat, Rice grabbed Godric's arm and pulled him to the chair in the middle of the long table where Dumbledore had sat before. Helga and Rowena grabbed Godric's shoulders on the left and right, and forced him to the chair representing the position of the headmaster.
Rice glanced at Dumbledore, who understood what he meant and said to Gryffindor loudly: "The board of directors has agreed to let you be the headmaster of Hogwarts! You are now the current headmaster of Hogwarts - we will complete the formalities later."
After hearing this, Godric's face fell directly. He said to the three old friends around him with a bitter face: "You really made me suffer!"
This sentence came from the heart, and it was absolutely Godric's true words.
He really didn't want to be the headmaster of Hogwarts, especially when the three old friends were all there.
In their era, sitting in this position would be laughed at by others!
But Rice and the others didn't care about these. They just happily discussed when to announce the news of the replacement of the headmaster.
...
When Godric became the headmaster of Hogwarts, the Muggle society was also in a state of turmoil.
A small group of Greek government officials fled to the United States and established the Greek government in exile in New York. After a very short time, the United States immediately defined the actions of the Olympian gods as an invasion.
At that time, the United States had just won a great victory in the Gulf War, and its international reputation was at its peak. Greece was also a member of NATO. So in a very short period of time, an army of extremely astonishing size was formed.
Their purpose was: to kill the gods.
In fact, Muggles are generally optimistic. They think that the times are developing, technology is advancing, and the so-called Greek gods have been swept into the garbage dump of history.
It's time to teach these arrogant guys a lesson!
On the day Godric was resurrected, the Security Council passed a resolution setting the deadline for the withdrawal of the ancient Greek gods from Greece as July 1, 1995, and authorized "all necessary means to implement Resolution 660" - a diplomatic language that authorized the use of force.
In the evening of the same day, the tentative negotiations between US Secretary of State Baker and ambassadors of various countries and the ancient Greek gods broke down. At this point, the war was a foregone conclusion.
The countries mobilized more than one million troops, more than 3,000 tanks, 6,000 armored vehicles; 1,940 combat aircraft, 247 warships, and 9 aircraft carriers, trying to flatten Mount Olympus in one fell swoop.
In the temple of Mount Olympus, the king of gods Zeus smiled after hearing the news.
"We have been asleep for too long, so long that mortals have forgotten the majesty of the gods. Then let me help them remember." He stood up from the highest throne, with lightning flashing in his palm.
