Returning to Ancient Times (Free Extra, Unfinished)

After figuring out his own era and geographical location, a burning fighting spirit ignited in Skylar's heart—ever since he had mastered magic, he had often imagined the extraordinary talents of the ancient wizards.

The thought that he could actually meet them in this virtual world, and even have a fight with them, filled Skylar with excitement.

Okay, let's first organize Skylar's understanding of this era.

First of all, Hogwarts was only established at the end of the tenth century, which means that Hogwarts does not exist at present, and the master-disciple system is still the prevailing system in the wizarding world.

Those who have reached adulthood, and perhaps even gained some fame, are probably Gryffindor, Slytherin, Ravenclaw, and Hufflepuff. But long before these four became famous, the most renowned wizarding lineages in Great Britain were likely two—

The first is Queen Maeve, who was based in Ireland and ran an organization similar to a magic school, teaching magic to young wizards. In later generations, her deeds were even included in Chocolate Frog celebrity cards.

Legend has it that she once single-handedly cast a curse with the effect of a widespread infectious disease, causing all the male soldiers of the invading enemy army to become pregnant—as retaliation for their choice to attack her territory while she was pregnant with twins.

Some called her school of thought evil, but she didn't care at all; she was a rare, domineering female ruler of that era.

The second was the Druid School led by Cliodna. They used Ireland as their base and expanded their influence southward, gradually covering the entire Wiltshire, where they cast spells and built the famous Stonehenge.

As mentioned earlier, druids revere nature and have their own philosophy, beliefs, and legal system. They only accept the most intelligent apprentices and pass on all magic orally.

This is also the main reason why their magical heritage was gradually lost in later generations.

If we can meet these six people, then Skylar's troubles in coming here will have been worthwhile.

That said, Skylar currently looks like a fifteen-year-old boy. Even if he were to meet these renowned wizards, he would probably only be regarded as a junior.

Those who were truly of Skylar's generation...

Wait a moment!

Thinking of this, Skylar's pupils involuntarily contracted. In this illusory world, there were people of his generation, about his age...

Merlin!

Morgan LeFéy!

The predecessor of Bloody Baron!

Helena Ravenclaw!

The Peverell brothers!

Uric the Oddball!

Sir Cadogan!

Hengist, the founder of Hogsmeade Village!

The House of Malfoy's ancestor was Armand Malfoy!

These people are probably only between fourteen and eighteen years old now, which is the perfect age for them to communicate with me on an equal footing.

Skylar, who had originally only wanted to complete the test and quickly leave this illusionary world to claim his reward, suddenly changed his mind. It seemed that... staying here to explore the world of ancient wizards, embarking on a new adventure, and making a name for himself in this era of heroes was not a bad idea.

Thinking of this, Skylar suppressed his agitated emotions and asked casually, "You just said that a terrible battle is about to take place here. What's going on? Why do all the people here look so panicked and fearful when they see me?"

"Kid, do you know the two most powerful battle mages of ancient Greece?"

Skylar pondered for a moment. To be honest, although he had always enjoyed the History of Magic classes, most of the content taught by Professor Binns in class and the historical documents he had read in private were from the Middle Ages onwards. He didn't actually know much about the ancient times and the Paleolithic era before that. He pondered and said, "Are you talking about the Invincible Andros and the Vile Herpo?"

"That's right!" Gryffindor's face clearly showed surprise. He said, "I never expected you to know this. It seems your master in the deep mountains comes from a remarkable school!"

"Yes, yes, yes Skylar thought to himself, "Isn't it just the Hogwarts tradition that you and the other three Founders passed down?"

Gryffindor Skylar's changing expression, Gryffindor knew it was his personal matter and didn't want to pry, so he said, "Wait a moment, the Parseltongue school and the Sacred Remains School have agreed to a final battle here to settle the grudges between the two schools."

"The Parseltongue?" Skylar frowned. "I've heard it's an evil sect."

"There's no such thing as good or evil among wizarding schools," Gryffindor's eyes Winky. "All notions of justice and evil are definitions imposed on them by outsiders. What you consider just might be seen as evil by someone else."

A strange light flashed in Skylar's eyes; he hadn't expected Gryffindor to have such a side.

Gryffindor ignored Skylar and continued speaking to himself, "My lifelong ambition is to eliminate all differences between schools of thought, to create a world where all wizarding schools can coexist peacefully, even share knowledge, bring innovation and breakthroughs to magic, and ultimately join hands to build a new wizarding world..."

Even though Skylar knew it was just an illusion, he couldn't help but feel the highest respect for Gryffindor. It was a truly great ambition, and as it turned out, he ultimately succeeded. He and his companions established Hogwarts, giving all wizards—regardless of birth, bloodline, race, gender, or wealth—the right to learn magic!

I'll stop here for the medieval section for now. I'll finish it if I have the chance after this book is completed.

Tomorrow we'll return to the main storyline.
