Helga's questions were as sharp as ever and hit the point.

Jon's research is indeed stuck on this issue.

If the answer is yes, then there really are gods in the world, which is not good news for Jon.

It is true that any civilization or sect has its own culture, and similarly, these civilizations also have their own gods.

There must be a reason for the appearance of gods. Assuming that gods originally existed in this world, then there must be a reason for them to be known to people.

When a god appears in front of the world, it will cause a series of consequences, and these consequences may not be good. In the same way, a person becoming a god will have the same effect.

Among the many myths and legends, people becoming gods is the most common form of deification.

This is mainly a requirement of religion, because only when gods are endowed with human nature can people see divinity in themselves.

Gods, or legendary wizards, have long become symbols in the magical world where one can pursue personal power.

Over a long period of time, countless wizards have worked hard to become legendary wizards, and even longer ago, they have also worked hard to become gods.

Even if the hope of becoming a god is slim.

But if you gain great strength, you will inevitably gain power, wealth, fame, and everything else.

In a world that pursues individual strength rather than group strength, it is inevitable that this situation will become mainstream.

Because the traces left by the gods left such a shocking impression on his pursuers.

That is the power that can reverse human common sense.

However, the existence of gods cannot yet be proven.

Nature is the basis for the existence of human beings, including wizards. The magical traces in this world may not come from gods. Nature itself has strong strength to create all kinds of miracles that humans have seen.

"However, during the long years of continuous exploration, wizards have actually divided their powers. It is not just like now, it is just divided into adults and minors, legendary wizards and non-legendary wizards.

Wizards once summarized this power system into six stages. In the Hogwarts inheritance, these six stages are apprentice, instructor, professor, scholar, sage, and legend.

These six stages, as the name suggests, respectively correspond to the six periods of becoming a legendary wizard. According to my standards at that time, your magic level has reached the top level of an apprentice, and you can already become a teacher."

"Wait a minute, I still don't understand. According to your theory, if someone of my level can become a teacher, doesn't that mean that Hogwarts is still training students according to the original rules?"

He has always been demanding himself according to the standards of the magic school.

"I never said that Hogwarts gave up this rule, but as time went by, this rule changed."

Helga said gently: "As you can see, Jon, times have changed."

"The entire wizarding world has been experiencing faults for a long time. I have stayed in the castle for so many years, and I still see this very clearly.

The world is changing, and wizards are naturally changing too. It has been many years since anyone has reached the level of a sage.

Even Dumbledore jumped directly from the realm of scholar to the legendary wizard. Even if he did not use any tricks, he still left the realm of sage in the middle. This is why I told you before that he had no chance to move towards it.

The reason why Rowena’s realm reached a further level back then.”

Jon was silent.

Regarding the issue of Dumbledore's magical attainments, he and Helga did not really discuss it in depth, but only talked about it a few times during casual chats.

Logically speaking, Dumbledore is the greatest white wizard of this era, and his magic level should not look so... weak as it does now.

It's not that there's anything wrong with his strength, it's just that there's still a certain gap between his strength and the legendary wizards Jon saw.

After all, Helga was hanging around him every day, not to mention Rowena taking him to see a deeper part of the magical world.

Now it seems that this skipped "sage" stage should be the main reason.

"Although Dumbledore's family is also pure blood, it has risen in the past few hundred years, so it is most directly affected by the fault. I know that there are several ancient families that still inherit this set of procedures.

It's a pity that if you don't have enough talent, you can't truly inherit it."

"However, in this era, there are definitely more people doing research than before."

Jon thought about the information he had read. Due to the weakening of the magic environment, many more people have turned to research.

"Although the number of people studying magic is increasing, the number of people who are actually researching useful things is decreasing. Their research directions are a little biased. However, these are not what you should consider now. How to survive the first semester smoothly?

stage.”

As a "magic apprentice", Jon's progress is not particularly fast. However, the promotion of apprentice to instructor is a fourth-year course at Hogwarts. Jon has not accumulated any experience and has not prepared for this, so naturally he has to do it.

Be careful.

"I think it's a bit too fast to get promoted now, but there's no need to be in such a rush. Recently, I always feel like someone is spying on me secretly. This matter may be more important."

Speaking of this, Jon became a little nervous. Although he had been preparing for so many years, this was the first time he actually faced a dark wizard.

"That's not a big deal. There are many passages to the outside of Hogwarts. You have that blueprint and you should know those passages. It won't be difficult for someone to check in."

Helga patted Jon on the shoulder: "Now that Dumbledore is here, no dark wizard dares to sneak in, but have you often felt visits from dark wizards recently?"

Jon nodded.

"Dark wizards... Hogwarts has trained many dark wizards over the years. After all, their magic is also inherited from war magic. Speaking of which, is what you have learned not black magic?" Helga

After thinking for a while, he muttered: "You are not weak now, and you have some reputation in the academy. It is normal for you to be targeted. You should be more careful on weekdays. There is no need to go out casually. There are few night outings.

Do it, the little war magic you have learned now will wear you out if you use it too much. Don't overestimate yourself, and don't be too nervous. You are just a dark wizard, so there is no need."
