Chapter 540 Godric: Do you need me to lend you some courage? Salazar

Looking at the broken chicken snake bone in his hand, Godric raised his eyebrows.

"I swear to God, I didn't use much strength."

Rice sighed.

Is this the interference of the power of fate? Rice didn't do much research in this area, and couldn't explain it.

Things like divination failure can be interpreted in any way, depending on the fortune teller's intentions - anyway, there is always a 50% chance of guessing right afterwards.

"So you should tell me why? Why do you suddenly want to do divination?"

"It's about Helga..." Rice told Godric about Trelawney's prediction in the divination class.

After listening to his old friend's words, Godric couldn't help laughing.

"You came here in such a hurry, just for this?" Godric slapped the table, "This is really, really... I am so surprised."

"Godric, I think this matter should be taken seriously, Cassandra of Troy--"

"Hey, that's different!" Godric waved his hand, indicating that Salazar, don't try this.

"Think about it, your identity when you did the divination was Les Lint, not Salazar Slytherin, and Sybil doesn't know your true identity. I have learned that she is most likely coming for your apprentice, the little guy named Daphne, so don't be suspicious."

Les frowned.

Godric's words did not dispel his doubts at all, but made him more worried.

Don't the performance of the three old friends correspond to "making correct predictions, but no one believes"? As for himself who believes in the prophecy, he was subconsciously excluded by Les.

But Godric has not finished speaking.

"And," Godric's expression became serious, "even if it's true, what can it do? Is there anyone in the world who is immortal? Everyone will die, sooner or later."

Les's mind moved slightly.

"Salazar, you don't really think you are the same as those false gods, do you?" Godric sneered, "Although they respect us and fear us, we are human beings and wizards after all."

Godric felt that if his old friend had any strange ideas because of Zeus' humility, he had to correct his thoughts with his fists.

Les glanced at Godric and felt that he was the least qualified person to say such things, and he was the second least qualified.

Rowena is now a special ghost, and Helga is a pure human. Before his reincarnation, he took the star meteorite, so he should be classified as a half-human and half-god. After reincarnation, he must be a normal human.

Godric is the most "divine" among the four, because Loki has transformed this body, giving it the characteristics of immortality similar to the body of a god.

"Don't pursue immortality, it's unrealistic. Won't those false gods die anyway?"

"I haven't pursued these. On the contrary, I have actively embraced death! I'm just... a little reluctant." Les couldn't help but correct the fallacy in Godric's words.

"Well, I just want to say that Helga is very old, and it is normal for her to die. As for how she chooses, I think her decision should be respected." Godric spoke his mind.

Godric was also reluctant to let Helga leave them, but he was more willing to respect the wishes of his old friend.

It's still very simple for these people to live in the world.

There are several existing ways to prolong life: the Philosopher's Stone, Salazar's Rejuvenation Potion, and Rowena's Ghost Transformation Method, all of which can prolong life. But if Helga doesn't want to use it, there's nothing we can do.

After hearing what Godric said, Les sighed.

"What are you sighing about!" Godric glared at Les, "You seem to be nagging - Salazar, do you need me to lend you some courage?"

"Go away." Les's response was brief and powerful.

"Hahaha!" Godric laughed again.

After laughing, he said seriously: "Even if Helga chooses to embrace the underworld, we can still visit her. At most, we can invade the underworld again! They have come to the world so many times, and it's our turn to visit them."

"Indeed." Les nodded in agreement.

It has been too long since they last entered the underworld, and the evil spirits in the underworld may have forgotten their names.

If Helga really chooses to embrace death, then they will visit her in the underworld in the future.

After a long conversation with Godric, Les felt that the depression in his heart caused by hearing the prophecy had finally dissipated.

At this time, he and Godric felt that someone had stepped into the principal's office at the same time.

After a few seconds, the office door was pushed open and Athena walked in.

When Athena saw Les sitting opposite Godric, she was stunned for a moment, and then asked herself awkwardly if she came at the wrong time.

"You should knock on the door..." Godric couldn't help but complain, "One or two, don't you have the habit of knocking on the door?! Salazar, you are the same!"

Les frowned.

"You remembered the wrong name, Gryffindor Headmaster, I am Les Lint."

Athena rolled her eyes: Can this childish role-playing game stop?

Maybe the other idiots in school can't see who you really are, but you think it's a bit insulting to my intelligence that I can't - I'm Athena, not Ares or Aphrodite.

However, Les was still immersed in this "little game" and couldn't extricate himself. He didn't care whether Athena knew the truth, as long as the parchment on the surface was not punctured.

After forcibly resisting the urge to beat Salazar, Godric reluctantly said: "Classmate Les Lint, you have to knock on the door before you can enter my office! Because you are rude. Five points deducted from Slytherin."

After deducting some points from Slytherin House, Godric suddenly felt refreshed, as if he had taken a hot bath.

Is this the power of the principal? It doesn’t seem so bad!

Godric felt very uncomfortable whenever he thought about being forced to take the position of principal, but when he realized that he could deduct points from Salazar openly, he felt less uncomfortable.

"Yes, Principal." Rice's face was full of divine light, "I promise you, I will definitely knock on the door before entering the Principal's office in the future——

——and shouted out the password for the principal’s office. "

"Ha, ha - actually, there is no need to be so serious. Okay, Professor Athena, what are you doing here?" Godric quickly changed the subject.

Athena silently watched the exchange between the two. Although she was confused and didn't understand what medicine they were selling in the gourd, she still suppressed her emotions after hearing Godry's question and turned to her own demands.

"Principal, I hope the school can allow me to recruit graduate students. I think it is also necessary to study Defense Against the Dark Arts in depth." Rice frowned.

What’s the deep meaning behind Athena’s move? Could it be that he wanted to take the opportunity to expand his influence among the wizard community and promote the beliefs of the Greek gods?

Les had always been wary of the goddess Athena. Because she came down from Mount Olympus after all, you must be cautious in your attitude towards her.

"Why do you suddenly have this need?" Godric was also a little curious and didn't understand why Athena suddenly wanted to recruit graduate students.

Athena was silent for a while, and then said nonchalantly that the teaching pressure at Hogwarts was a bit beyond her expectation.

Les:…

Godric:…

Both of them were silenced by Athena's answer.

"You are the goddess of wisdom, war and art, how come you can't even teach a small defense against dark arts?" Les directly expressed his inner confusion.

In Rice's opinion, since the title contains wisdom and war, he should be a very smart guy with quite good physical strength. So why do you feel that teaching is stressful?

Godric sat aside and nodded repeatedly, indicating that this was also a question he wanted to ask.

After Les's question was spoken, Athena's face turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"I can't help it. I've always given blessings directly before. With one blessing, mortals can also have powerful power." She said dryly, "But Hogwarts obviously doesn't allow me to do this. Then this It involves my knowledge blind spot.”

What she didn't say was that corporal punishment of students was not allowed at Hogwarts. In other words, corporal punishment cannot be done in public, and confinement also needs a suitable reason. This is completely different from the teaching method on Mount Olympus.

The Spartan education model was actually quite popular among the gods. But the problem is still that, if Athena chooses to use this education model, she will definitely be interviewed by Hogwarts.

With both parties frustrated, Athena could only study magic from scratch and then teach the students. As a teacher, she only knows what she is going to say one day ahead of her students.

At the same time, she also had to answer students' stupid questions in class. Sometimes she really wanted to crack open the skulls of those stupid students and pour the knowledge in her head into them.

In this way, Athena was naturally exhausted mentally and physically, and felt that she needed a few graduate students to teach for her - just like the professor next door who claimed to be named White.

After listening to Athena's words, Godric felt that what she said made sense.

"Then how about..."

"No." Les interrupted Godric's words and forcibly rejected Athena's application.

Athena's ears became even redder. She took several deep breaths and kept warning herself that the person opposite was a powerful person on the same level as Father God, and she must not offend him.

When she recalled the power of Father God, the strange emotions in her heart disappeared - she didn't even dare to admit that the emotion was anger.

"Please allow me to know the reason, and I am willing to make corrections." Her posture was very low.

"I'm not targeting you." Les said nonsense first.

In fact, he was targeting Athena, who was born as a god. She has not been able to gain his trust yet.

"I just think that you can't even master the basic version of Defense Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts, and you are not qualified to recruit graduate students yet. If you become qualified in the future, you don't need to apply. We will contact you proactively."

Les's meaning is very simple, he is afraid that you will mislead others.

You can't even teach a first-year wizard, how can you teach a graduate student?

Athena felt that what Salazar said seemed reasonable, but she really needed one or two graduate students. Otherwise, she felt that she might become the first god in the world to be pissed to death.

"Please be flexible. If you are worried about the future of the students, I am willing to give them the strongest blessing."

"This is not a blessing." Rice looked at Athena seriously and told her that wizards prefer to improve their strength through their own learning.

It is better to ask for help from oneself than from God. That's the truth. Rice can never accept the new generation of wizards being obsessed with the blessings of the gods. That is to force the growth of seedlings.

Blessing can improve a person's strength in a short period of time, but from a long-term perspective, this behavior is extremely harmful. The wizard who can really defeat the gods cannot be born by blessing-except for the Indian gods.

Before hiring Athena, Godric also repeatedly emphasized that she must not bless the students of Hogwarts. Once discovered, the turmoil caused by it cannot be quelled by a simple expulsion. It will cost blood and even life.

Athena was a little disappointed, but she had no choice.

One of the founders explicitly rejected her proposal, and she was definitely not allowed to recruit graduate students.

"But it's true that you mentioned that the work pressure is high." Rice changed the subject and gave Athena new hope, "How about we add an assistant teacher for you?"

Athena's eyes lit up.

"That's great, please arrange it quickly, I can't wait!"

Looking at Athena who was very happy because she got a teaching assistant position, Rice narrowed his eyes: How real is her current personality? Is she acting in front of us?

His distrust of the gods is engraved in his bones. It is hard for him to believe that the famous goddess Athena in ancient Greece has a personality similar to Godric.

After suppressing all the emotions in his heart, Rice recommended a candidate for the teaching assistant to Athena: Daphne Greengrass.

"I think she can help you share enough pressure." Rice's words are not empty words. Daphne has helped him with homework since she was a child and has developed a good skill.

Rice thinks it is still easy for her to be a teaching assistant. More importantly, this is like driving a nail into Athena's side.

"Oh? Flame Fist? Great, I hope you can inform her earlier."

Athena has no objection to this.

When she was about to leave, Godric stopped her.

"How do you Greeks tell fortunes?"

It seems that Godric has not completely given up the idea of ​​telling fortunes again.
