Chapter 503 It’s Time to Remind These Visitors From the Underworld of Us
After a little thought, Percy agreed to Sir Bernard's request. Because he thought the time was ripe for the magical world and the non-magical world to come into contact.
Percy, who was stuffed with a pile of books and a time converter by the Ministry of Magic and studied hard for a summer vacation, and then entered the British political arena for a whole year, was no longer the young man who had just started out.
Now Percy has grown up at an astonishing speed in the dark quagmire of politics.
And with the help of magic, Percy's experience in this year is comparable to the experience of ordinary Muggles in more than ten or twenty years.
The reason is simple. The Ministry of Magic authorized him to use the Oblivion Spell on Muggle civil servants. With the help of the Oblivion Spell, Percy was like turning on the game save mode, and he could find the most perfect answer for every answer and every response.
This made him invincible in the officialdom. In addition to the understanding and use of long and difficult sentences, nothing could stop him.
Of course, as his mental age matured, he also began to wander on the edge of the law. Sometimes, some potions were also used quietly by him to seek smoother communication.
He is already a different person from Percy Weasley, who just graduated from Hogwarts.
At first glance, you might even think that Percy is a graduate of Slytherin College. And indeed, only people from Slytherin College are suitable for the ecology of British civil servants.
People who are too Gryffindor can't get by here.
When Percy left Sir Bernard's office and passed by the lounge, he was stunned.
He was attracted by a figure on the TV.
'Les? ' Listening to Les's impassioned speech, Percy's eyebrows almost stood up.
If Percy didn't know Les, he would really believe him.
'What the hell, how can this Slytherin smell like Gryffindor. ' Percy couldn't help but complain.
Putting him together with Les on the TV screen, everyone will definitely confuse the colleges they graduated from.
But Percy just complained. Through Les's actions, he also realized that the magic world seemed to be ready to move and wanted to deepen communication with Muggles.
What else is there to say? Percy went straight back to his office to write to Professor Dumbledore and Mr. Henry.
A few hours later, Percy received a reply and got a positive reply from the other side.
As soon as he got the letter, Percy found Sir Bernard.
At this moment, he was enjoying the last glass of whiskey before going off work.
Seeing that it was Percy coming in, Sir Bernard's old face showed a happy smile.
"Oh! Mr. Weasley, come and sit down, come and sit down! Would you like a glass of whiskey-are you an adult?"
"Of course, I am still over 18 years old." Percy sat next to Sir Bernard and poured himself a glass of whiskey from the table-the wine in Whitehall is all top-grade wine, and he usually doesn't want to spend his own money to drink it.
After the civil servants held an internal banquet, Percy would even buy the unfinished whiskey and champagne, refill and seal them, take them back to taste or send them to his family to drink.
Sir Bernard: ? ? ?
He was just joking, but Weasley's response really surprised him: from his tone, he is not even over 20 years old?
Bernard really felt a little jealous at this moment, because Percy was really too young.
Under normal circumstances, an Oxford top student who wants to climb to his position needs at least 20 years of hard work, and can't make big mistakes, but Percy sat on it before he was even 20 years old.
"If this goes on, my position will be yours sooner or later." Bernard patted the armrest of the chair and said with great emotion.
However, Percy shook his head firmly in the face of this unparalleled temptation.
"No, I'm just a bridge between the magic world and the non-magic world. A bridge cannot be a leader."
Bernard looked at Percy meaningfully, and felt that the future of this young man was limitless.
He knew the boundaries too well, which was great. Having such a contact person is a blessing for both the magic world and the non-magic world.
"Are you here for bilateral talks? Did they agree?"
Percy nodded.
"Professor Dumbledore and Mr. Henry have agreed to your request. They hope to meet you at an appointment."
"Uh, do you need me to light the fireplace?" Bernard glanced at the extinguished fireplace. A while ago, the Prime Minister's brain was kicked by something and decided to replace the traditional fireplace with an electric stove to show his environmental awareness.
Although Sir Bernard wanted to complain, he finally did not embarrass the Prime Minister on such a trivial matter. Anyway, his political life is almost gone.
But it seems that this has blocked the way for the magic world to communicate with him, because he remembers that Crouch used to jump out of the fireplace.
"No need." Percy's face also became a little strange, "They want to be more formal, so they submitted a meeting application."
Sir Bernard was also shocked by the wizard's operation.
But he soon figured out the deep meaning of the wizards' actions. They don't seem to want to hide in the dark corner anymore, they want to be open and aboveboard for once.
"Okay, agree to their application. Weasley, you will be the recorder of the meeting."
At nine o'clock the next morning, Sir Bernard and Percy waited for Dumbledore and his party in the conference room.
This time, there was one more person from the wizarding world than Percy expected, and this one was even more of a heavyweight.
Godric Gryffindor accompanied Dumbledore and Henry to meet the Muggle leaders.
After learning that the red-bearded man in front of him had lived for thousands of years, Sir Bernard was so shocked that he couldn't even hold the pen in his hand.
A thousand years!
What is the difference between this and immortality? Is this the beauty of magic?
Bernard knew that this alone was enough to drive everyone crazy.
Prime Minister, President, Queen... who at the pinnacle of power doesn't want to live longer? Even if you can't live for a thousand years, it would be great to live for five or one hundred years!
And Dumbledore is also one hundred and fourteen years old, which is also an extremely long-lived person.
Looking at the two old wizards in front of him, Bernard couldn't help but ask how they had lived for so long.
"As long as you keep breathing, you can live for so long without taking a breath." Dumbledore answered his question with a smile.
"I was possessed by the remnants of the Nordic gods. He seemed to have found some way to keep my physical body active, and then lived in my identity for thousands of years. It was not until recent years that my friends took my soul Reawaken..."
Dumbledore glanced at Godric, who then realized that he seemed to have said the wrong thing and quickly stopped the car.
But it was too late, and Bernard was acutely aware that he had used the word "friend."
friend? Reawaken? Does that mean you have been asleep? Does this also mean that your friend has lived for thousands of years?
Now it is confirmed that the wizard has the method of immortality in his hands.
But neither Dumbledore nor Godric were very enthusiastic about this topic, so Bernard could only bring the topic back on track and talk about how to deal with the Greek gods.
"The situation is getting more and more serious. After the disastrous defeat of the coalition forces, Greece accelerated its pace of expansion. Now Corsica, Sicily and other islands in the Mediterranean have also been occupied by them. Egypt is not very peaceful either. Some people think that If they cause rebellion in the name of Pharaoh's servants, it's only a matter of time before the collapse there..."
After the defeat of the multinational forces, the evil spirits became more powerful, and their activities were no longer limited to the Greek peninsula. The entire European continent was quite turbulent: the gods of Greece, the pharaohs of Egypt, the vampires of Central Europe, and all kinds of others. Demons and angels and more.
All the monsters and monsters are back.
Amazingly, there are two places in Europe where there are not many evil spirits. One is the British Isles, which is isolated overseas, and the other is the pure land of Northern Europe.
People thought that the Nordic countries with their Nordic myths and legends would become the next Greece, but the results surprised them.
Everyone cannot understand this anomaly at all.
But if you don’t understand it, you don’t understand it. People’s bodies are quite honest. These days, the price of air tickets to the United Kingdom, Ireland and the three Nordic countries has suddenly increased more than ten times, and it is still on the rise. All routes are full, with seats packed, and the price of economy class is several times more expensive than first class in the past.
A safe haven in troubled times has appeared, and everyone hopes to get a ticket to the safe haven.
The last time Britain was so wealthy was back in the 19th century!
Bernard was in pain and happy now.
In this chaos, he vaguely saw the glory of the past empire.
"Do you want to know why no evil spirits attack Britain? Do you want to understand why no gods in Northern Europe are resurrected?" Mr. Henry had a polite but distant smile on his face: "It's because of us, wizards!"
He knew very well what was thinking in the minds of people like Bernard. Mr. Henry was determined to wake him up and let him know that the peace in Britain was not a coincidence, but the wizards led by Slytherin and Gryffindor. their contribution.
"Hogwarts is the best magic school in the world, and it also has the most powerful wizards in the world. Their presence makes evil spirits afraid to set foot in the British Isles. It was they who personally buried the age of the gods. !" Mr. Henry's words were filled with irrepressible pride.
He reached out and pointed in Godric's direction.
"Today's peace was fought for by Mr. Godric and his friends!"
Then he began to talk to Bernard endlessly about the war between the four giants and the Nordic gods in the past, as well as the greatness of Hogwarts.
Bernard was stunned for a moment.
He secretly calculated and found that the active time of these four people happened to coincide with the decline of Nordic mythology!
Now he believed what Mr. Henry said even more.
"I just made a small and insignificant contribution with my friends." Godric smiled and became modest. He did not mention the matter of sealing the underworld, because he knew that it was now impossible to seal the completely returned underworld.
This requires the continuous efforts of generations of wizards as powerful as themselves to achieve this.
Bernard felt strong confidence and pride from Mr. Henry's tone. After Mr. Henry's introduction, he finally understood the importance of wizards.
It can be said that the current Britain may not have a prime minister, a royal family, or even a civil service system, but it cannot be without the protection of wizards.
Without the protection of wizards, Britain's terrain would be a more suitable pasture for the gods than Greece.
"Mr. Gryffindor, we need your help, and humans need your help!" Bernard said seriously, "If you can really solve the problem in Greece, you and your friends will be heroes of mankind."
Godric nodded, indicating that even without Sir Bernard's request, he would still attack the gods.
Because this is the fate of wizards!
Listening to Gryffindor's words, Percy and Mr. Henry frowned secretly.
Mr. Gryffindor is so easy to talk to!
They can actually take the opportunity to negotiate with Muggles to give wizards a more favorable situation. He agreed so carelessly, which put the Ministry of Magic in a passive position.
But Godric agreed, what else can they do? After all, they are headed by this ancient wizard.
Mr. Henry couldn't help thinking that it would be better if the person who came to negotiate the conditions was Lord Slytherin, and Mr. Gryffindor was still not suitable for this kind of scene.
Gryffindor didn't think too much. After coming out of Whitehall, he left Dumbledore and Henry behind and went directly to meet his old friends.
He couldn't wait to start the expedition to Olympus.
After returning to the four people's foothold in London, Gryffindor immediately shared his decision with Rice and the other two.
"Without further delay, let's go to Greece now and teach those so-called gods a lesson!" Godric's eyes were full of excitement, "I wonder who is stronger, Zeus or Odin?"
Rice and Rowena were silent, and Helga echoed Godric.
She felt that the dead should not interfere with the world of the living. No matter how great the Greek gods were in their lifetime, they are all dead. Then they should stay in the underworld honestly.
"So you have promised the Muggle leader?" Rice interrupted.
Godric was stunned for a moment, then nodded slowly.
"Is there a problem? Shouldn't I agree so straightforwardly?" He also gradually realized that he seemed to have done something wrong.
"No, you did the right thing." Unexpectedly, Rice shook his head directly, indicating that Godric was right.
"Making a request at this time is suspected of taking advantage of the situation. We should still fight the Greek gods first." Rice's eyes flashed with an inexplicable light, "It's time to make them remember us!"
While speaking, Rice exuded a strong murderous intent.
In the eyes of Godric and the other two, Salazar, who had set off Ragnarok and fought against the underworld with them, was really back.
"I suggest that we take them this time." Rice's words made the other three people raise their heads instantly.
They knew very well what Salazar was referring to, but this shocked them.
Is it really necessary to use those four things?
