Chapter 706: Mediocrity

All in all, it could be called a good thing.

The legendary personal guidance of a wizard, and on profound ancient magic at that.

Sean felt he had gained a great deal.

"Heh—awake?"

Professor Sineipu had originally had a sneer on his lips, but he didn't manage to laugh this time.

"Professor Sineipu, Professor Marcus Maige."

Sean said.

"Tell... us, what happened? Why were you cursed?"

Professor Marcus Maige asked sternly.

Sean was silent.

The conjecture of multiple Horcruxes, the evil artifacts that hadn't been destroyed, the fact that Voldemort had returned after all...

He didn't feel his ability was greater than the professors', it was just that some things couldn't be said, and even less could they be known by others.

"Professors, you are disturbing my patient! He still needs rest!"

Madam Pomfrey rushed over, furious.

She was a conscientious healing witch who treated her patients with equal importance.

Even the Minister for Magic couldn't make a scene in her hospital.

"I understand, Poppy."

Professor Marcus Maige paused, and after Madam Pomfrey left, she pursed her lips again and asked Sean,

"Tell me, why did you fall into a coma..."

Her tone was no longer stern.

"I had a dream."

Sean said honestly.

"What kind of dream?"

Professor Marcus Maige asked.

"A Ravenclaw dream."

Sean continued.

Professor Sineipu, who had been silent, let out a sneer suppressed with anger.

He couldn't even make up a lie...

"Continue."

Professor Marcus Maige glared at Professor Sineipu and asked again.

"I found a book, a knowledge carrier existing in the form of a scroll, inside which was stored the wisdom left behind by Ravenclaw...

Subsequently, I had a dream about Ravenclaw, and some memories were added to my head."

Sean said slowly.

"Where is the scroll?"

Professor Sineipu asked with a dark face.

"It disappeared."

Sean replied.

"What exactly did Dumbledore tell you that made you prefer to make up this incredibly stupid lie?"

Professor Sineipu's gaze locked onto Sean, almost without blinking, as if it carried physical weight and heat.

"You dreamt of Lady Ravenclaw again?"

Professor Marcus Maige asked in surprise.

Professor Sineipu locked his gaze onto her almost instantly.

"Severus, this is true."

Professor Marcus Maige said earnestly.

Professor Sineipu's expression froze.

"Yes, Professor, I have learned some knowledge."

Sean had certainly learned some knowledge.

But more importantly, he had grasped the essence of magic.

All along, he had had some slight questions:

Power like magic was always related to gods, but in this Wizarding World, there only existed legends of ancient wizards.

Wizards never worshipped gods, and their catchphrase was only Merlin.

Why was this?

For at least several thousand years, wizards hadn't developed a belief in gods?

Not even some legendary stories?

But the fact was, these simply didn't exist.

Ravenclaw said in the memories: Wizards only believe in themselves.

Ravenclaw said in the memories: Wizards are gods.

And now Sean said: Wizards' belief in themselves gave birth to magic, and wizards who are paranoid about their belief are gods.

Compared to modern wizards, why were ancient wizards more powerful?

Because the magic of that time required more power, and was even more cruel. ===== CHAPTER 707 =====
