Hogwarts: Becoming a god from reselling fresh food

On a hillside in Cornwall.

Miriam was comforting the prisoners brought by Murphy with the Lightning Crow. Murphy appeared again through lightning teleportation and came to Miriam.

She looked exactly the same as Sophia, but she was very weak and haggard due to being imprisoned for a long time.

Murphy stared at each other from a distance, and for a moment he couldn't tell the difference between her and Sophia. He even had a ridiculous feeling in his heart. If the Queen disappears in the future, will she also cross a thousand years and come to this time? ?

And this so-called Miriam is just another name she gave herself?

Miriam bandaged the wounds of the two prisoners who were stabbed by spears. When she turned her head and saw Murphy, her eyes suddenly brightened, "You really appeared again, Lord Murphy."

Murphy came to her, "Do you know me?"

"Although you don't remember it now, you have saved my life in the past, and I already know a lot about your deeds from Sophia."

"Sophia?" Murphy frowned, "What's going on? What do you know?"

"It's a long story," Milly paused, "Let's go to a safe place first. I have a cabin near here."

But before that, Miriam asked Murphy to send the prisoners to a nearby inhabited village, and then pointed out the direction for Murphy. The latter released the flying technique for the two of them, and soon arrived at the place. A cabin next to a forest.

"This is the place where my grandfather originally stayed." Miriam said, "He was a hunter, and I grew up with him when I was young. Later, after my grandfather passed away, I left, and no one else knew about it. "

Miriam opened the door of the old wooden house. It seemed that it had been abandoned for a long time. A musty smell filled the air. Miriam recited a long spell, then waved her hands, and a breeze He swept away all the dust and cobwebs in the house, and even put all the utensils aside.

Murphy watched the other party cast a spell. This was not the "cleaning up" spell he was familiar with. The spell used seemed to be some kind of ancient rune language. It was long and complicated, but it could mobilize the wizard's own magic power and make it be programmed. A form that operates according to certain rules.

"Who taught you this spell?" Murphy asked.

"Merlin, although he is a speculator, he does have extraordinary magical talents." Miriam said, "It is said that such spells originally came from the gods, and they taught the wizards magic."

Murphy remembered what Salazar said at the abyss about wizards being the sons of gods, and frowned, "Magic comes from gods?"

"At least that's what God said." Miriam said.

Murphy pondered for a while and shook his head, "No, it's unlikely. If the gods are the source of magic, then the return of the gods cannot rely on the improvement of the magic level. Magic is the cause, and the gods are the effect. That can only be the case. , not the other way around. They lied."

Miriam listened quietly and nodded, "Sophia said the same thing. She said you have proved that humans created gods, not gods created humans."

Murphy frowned. He had never proven this. Why did Sophia say that?

But, more importantly, "What is your relationship with Sophia?"

"It seems there is no dry firewood. Let's go find some firewood."

Murphy was noncommittal and followed Miriam out. The two picked up some branches at the edge of the forest. Then Murphy used magic to cut down a few dead trees and transported them to the wooden house. Miriam didn't know where to find them. He took an ax and ground it on a stone for a while, then began to chop wood.

She had obviously not done this work for a long time. When the ax went down, the log was only split into a small piece, and the ax was still embedded in the wooden pile. She spent a lot of effort, but could not pull it out.

Seeing her panting, Murphy stepped forward and took the ax himself, "You're too weak, you'd better let me do it."

Murphy gently raised his hand and pulled the ax out of the wooden pile. With another gentle wave, he split the log into two symmetrical halves. The cross-section was as neat as if it had been cut with a saw.

The magic power was no longer bound by the magic net, but became more free. Murphy felt that he could easily attach the magic power to the body and the axe, which not only enhanced the strength of the body, but even made the ax sharper.

"Enchanting..." Murphy muttered. Although it is not as precise and stable as runes or enchanting rituals, it consumes more magic power and the effect of enchanting is also much worse, but its operational convenience is far higher than in the future. enchantment method.

The wizards of this era can control magic more freely than the wizards covered by the magic network, and those gods who have far more powerful magic than ordinary wizards can use this to make magic that is comparable to "making a wish" , not surprising.

"Sophia comes from the distant future. She can enter my body and control my body in her sleep across thousands of years." Miriam suddenly said.

Murphy was startled and remembered that the Queen had told him that it was not Miriam who was occupying her, but she was occupying the other person.

Mrs. Yaga also said that the Queen often dreams and enters the life of another person in her dreams.

That’s what it meant.

Miriam sat on a fallen tree trunk nearby, "She told me that we are one and the same. She is me and I am her. Her soul was lost in the spiritual world, and for some reason she returned to a thousand years ago. She was born into me, and I will create her with my own soul one day in the future."

"The same soul?" Murphy was stunned. He originally thought that there was just a strong blood connection between the two, but he didn't expect that they were actually the same soul.

It's just that because it's reincarnation, the memories are not the same.

This is not surprising. The Horcrux and the body can also be regarded as two people with the same soul.

"How did she know this," Murphy asked, "and how did she tell you?"

"I don't know how Sophia knows this, but when she takes over my body, I lose my perception of the outside world, so she usually communicates with me by leaving some diaries or the like," Miriam said.

"From what you're saying, Sophia's possession of your body has happened more than once? When was the first time?"

"Probably when she was five years old," Miriam recalled that moment more than twenty years ago, "At that time she foresaw... Oh, no, it was probably during the subsequent communication with me that she learned that I would When I encountered danger, I wrote a lot of words on the wall to remind me to leave that home quickly."

"Wait a minute..." Murphy interrupted, "You said that she learned about your past dangers during the subsequent communication... In other words, the time when Sophia traveled into your body was not sequential. ?”

"Yes, for me, when Sophia came into my body for the first time, she had actually seen me several times in the future. I told her some things that I had experienced in the future, so she Like a prophet who knows my future."

"Although I am called a prophet, my gift of prediction is no higher than that of real prophets. The most important predictions I have ever made are actually things that I will experience in the future. Through Sophia Communicated to my past self.”

"..."

Murphy was silent for a moment, it turned out that this is how the prophet was born.

"You said you would encounter danger. What danger was that? What happened next?"

"It's a bit ridiculous to say that the cause of the danger may be Sophia's time travel."

"My parents were horrified by the words she wrote on the wall to get me out of danger. I was only five years old and had not yet learned to write, and Sophia was probably too eager to realize This, anyway... my parents thought I was crazy. They were followers of Christ and didn't know much about magic, and the writing on the wall looked like the work of someone possessed by the devil. So, they called in Exorcist."

"The priest used holy water, a cross, and read scriptures on me for a day, but it was of no use. So the priest concluded that the devil in my body must be very hidden. He thought that Christ needed to come to scare away the devil. The way to ask God is to nail my hands to the cross, so that I have the stigmata and can receive the Holy Spirit.”

Murphy frowned. The Christian God should be real in this era, but his followers still behave like this.

Is it because God cannot restrain them? Or does it not want to be constrained at all?

"I was frightened. Just when the nail was about to pierce my palm, I suddenly felt a force. I pushed the priest, and he was pushed dozens of meters away by me and hit a tree. ,died."

"Later I found out that I became a witch. But the people in the Holy See didn't think so. They felt that the devil in my body had awakened and killed a priest. So they sent out knights and they killed my Parents, because they helped the devil, and even the knights burned down the entire village because they were worried that the devil's plague had contaminated the entire village."

"Just when they were about to burn me to death. You showed up."
