Helga's question was as sharp as ever, and it hit the nail on the head.
Jon's research was indeed stuck on this question.
If the answer was yes, then there really were gods in the world. This was not good news for Jon.
Of course, in any civilization or sect, there was a culture that belonged to them. Similarly, these civilizations also had their own gods.
There must be a reason for the appearance of gods. If gods originally existed in this world, then there must be a reason for them to be known.
The appearance of gods in front of the world would cause a series of consequences. These consequences were not necessarily good. Similarly, a person becoming a god would have the same effect.
In many myths and legends, it was the most common form of deification for a human to become a god.
This was mainly a requirement of religion because only when gods were endowed with human nature could they see divinity in themselves.
Gods, or legendary Wizard, had long become a symbol in the magic world, where the level of personal power could be pursued.
In a long time, countless Wizard had worked hard to become a legendary Wizard. A long time ago, they had also worked hard to become gods.
Even if the hope of becoming a god was very slim.
But with great power, there was bound to be power, wealth, fame, and everything else.
In a world where the pursuit of individual power was not the pursuit of group power, such a situation was inevitable.
Because the traces left behind by God had left a shocking impression on His pursuers.
That was the power that could reverse human common sense.
But the existence of gods could not be proven at the moment.
Nature was the foundation of the existence of humans, including Wizard. The magical traces in this world did not necessarily come from gods. Nature itself had a strong power to create all kinds of miracles that humans saw.
"However, in the long years of continuous exploration, Wizard, in fact, divided their power. It was not just like now, where it was simply divided into adult and underage, legendary Wizard and non-legendary Wizard.
The Wizard once summed up this power system into six stages. In the inheritance of Hogwarts, these six stages were apprentice, instructor, professor, scholar, sage, and legendary.
These six stages, as the name suggests, correspond to the six stages of becoming a legendary Wizard. According to my standards at that time, your magic level had reached the top of the apprentice level, and you could already be an instructor. "
"Wait a minute, I still don't understand. According to your theory, if I can become an instructor with my level, doesn't that mean that Hogwarts is still training students according to the original rules?"
He had always been according to the standards of the magic school.
"I never said that Hogwarts gave up on this rule. It's just that with the passage of time, this rule changed."
Helga said gently, "As you can see, Jon, times have changed."
"There has been a gap in the entire Wizard world for a long time. I've been in the castle for so many years, and I can see this very clearly.
The world is changing, and so are the Wizard. It's been many years since anyone reached the realm of a sage.
Even Dumbledore directly jumped from the realm of a scholar to a legendary Wizard. Even if he didn't use any tricks, he still left the realm of a sage empty in the middle. This is why I told you before that he didn't have the chance to go any further than Roy did back then. "
Jon was silent.
He and Helga had never really discussed Dumbledore's magic level in depth. They only talked about it a few times when they were chatting.
Logically speaking, Dumbledore was the greatest white Wizard of this era. His magic level should not be as weak as it was now.
It wasn't that there was a problem with his strength, but there was still a certain gap between his strength and the legendary Wizard that Jon saw.
After all, Helga was hanging around him every day, not to mention that Roy had taken him to see a deeper level of the magic world.
Now it seemed that the skipped "sage" stage should be the main reason.
"Although Dumbledore's family is also pure-blooded, they rose up hundreds of years ago, so they were the most directly affected by the gap. I know of a few ancient families that still pass down this set of procedures. Unfortunately, there's no way to truly pass it down because they don't have enough talent."
"But, in this era, there are more people doing research than before."
Jon thought about the information he had read. Because of the weakening of the magic environment, there were many more people who switched to doing research.
"Although there are more people studying magic, there are fewer people who are really researching useful things. Their research direction is a bit off. However, this is not what you should be thinking about now. It's how to get through the first stage smoothly. "
As a "magic apprentice," Jon's progress was not particularly fast, but the promotion from apprentice to instructor was a fourth-grade course in Hogwarts. Jon had not accumulated experience and did not prepare for this, so he naturally had to be more careful.
"I think it's a bit too fast to be promoted now, but there's no need to be in such a hurry. Recently, I've always felt that someone is secretly watching. This matter may be more important."
Speaking of this matter, Jon was a little nervous. Although he had been preparing for this for so many years, this was the first time he really faced the black Wizard.
"That's not a big deal. Hogwarts has many passages to the outside. You have that map, so you should know those passages. It's not difficult for someone to investigate."
Helga patted Jon's shoulder. "Now that Dumbledore is here, no black Wizard would dare to sneak in. But recently, have you often felt the black Wizard's inspection?"
Jon nodded.
"Black Wizard … Hogwarts has cultivated many black Wizards for so many years. After all, their magic is also derived from war magic. Speaking of which, isn't what you're learning black magic?" Helga pondered for a moment and said, "You're not weak now, and you have some reputation in the academy. It's normal that you're being watched. You should be more careful. Don't go out casually if you don't have to. Also, don't do things like night roaming. The little bit of war magic you've learned now will drain you if you use it too much. Don't overestimate yourself and don't be too nervous. It's just a black Wizard.
Jon nodded. "I know, don't worry."
