Professor Binns nodded. "Okay! Then I'll tell you! In fact, this person is very ancient. Or rather, no one can prove that he really existed! Because the era he lived in is too long ago! He is a figure from the Merlin era!"
(I'll make a change here! According to the original book, Merlin was a student of Slytherin, but if we calculate based on the time of King Arthur, the time period of Merlin and the Big Four should be hundreds of years apart! This may be a bug in the original book! Or maybe I didn't think of this at the time!)
Professor Binns continued, "In that era, Merlin met a man! This man's name can no longer be traced, but he was very powerful! Even Merlin almost died at his hands! Later, Merlin used his talent as a dragon speaker and defeated this man with the help of the last dragon! And this man is also known as the first Dark Lord! After being defeated by Merlin, this man disappeared! Many people say that he is dead! Of course, there is also a saying that he went to other places to study new magic and make a comeback, but his strength is unquestionable! However, these are all legends! Because no one can confirm that this person really exists! Perhaps Merlin is the only one who knows the truth! Unfortunately, Merlin disappeared! No one knows where he is, and naturally no one knows the truth. Even I only learned a few words through some ancient books!"
Erwin nodded. Others could not prove it, but Erwin knew that this person really existed.
Otherwise, the system would not say that he is the fourth Dark Lord.
Just then.
Erwin found the highlight.
"Professor Binns, you just said that Merlin disappeared? He's not dead?"
Professor Binns said, "I don't know! However, Merlin came to Hogwarts when it was first established! At that time, the Big Four also met Merlin! I don't know what happened afterwards! Merlin refused to teach at Hogwarts! He left Hogwarts! No one has seen him since then!"
Erwin was stunned.
Merlin has met the Big Four?
Doesn't that mean that Merlin would have been several hundred years old at that time, conservatively speaking?
If I were alive now.
Be good.
Two thousand years younger?
Isn't the accumulated magic power higher than the sky?
The most important thing is, if Merlin is really not dead.
Doesn't that mean he has mastered immortality?
Erwin's eyes lit up.
Of course he had thought about immortality.
Who doesn’t want to live forever?
Not wanting to live forever is a fool.
But Erwin just thought about it in his mind.
He is an eleven-year-old scumbag who can't even defeat Voldemort, but he wants to live forever. What's he kidding?
Professor Binns looked at the young wizards with interest on their faces.
I also seem to have found the long-lost passion for teaching.
"It seems like you all like listening to this story?"
The young wizards nodded hurriedly.
They love to listen to any story.
It didn't matter what story it was, as long as they didn't have to sit through some boring History of Magic class.
Professor Binns said, "In that case, let me tell you more about that unknown existence! Although some of the courses are not for young wizards of your age to know, it doesn't matter if I talk about them! You know the Unforgivable Curses, right? Erwin, you tell us!"
Erwin stood up. "The Cruciatus Curse, the Imperius Curse, and the Killing Curse! These three curses are all extremely powerful dark arts. Once used, they will inevitably lead to the fate of Azkaban!"
Professor Binns nodded. "Yes, that's absolutely right, and very comprehensive! Five points to Slytherin!"
As soon as these words came out.
All the young wizards were stunned.
Whether it is the Slytherin side or the little wizards from Hufflepuff who are taking classes together today.
At this time, everyone looked at Professor Binns with disbelief.
There's a saying at Hogwarts that you won't get a single point rewarded in Professor Binns's hands.
Because Professor Binns never asks questions, he just lectures.
So, even our Miss Know-It-All didn't get a single point reward in the History of Magic class yesterday.
And Erwin.
Elvin Cavendish actually got five points from Professor Binns.
What a rare five points! The Slytherin wizards even thought they could frame the five points and hang them on the wall, telling the wizards of other houses, "See? This is our Slytherin's hidden prefect, the one who got the points from Professor Binns!"
Erwin was also a little surprised.
In fact, he had given up on the idea of getting high marks in History of Magic.
Professor Binns laughed and said, "What's wrong? I remember I have the right to extra points!"
Erwin nodded. "Of course! It's your freedom, Professor! Thank you for your generosity!"
Professor Binns said, "This is the child you deserve!"
Professor Binns waved his hand and asked Erwin to sit down.
Then he continued, "There are actually many theories about the Unforgivable Curses. Some say they were created by the masters of the Three Deathly Hallows, the three brothers who made a deal with Death! Many people also think it was created by someone else! But all these speculations have been rejected one by one! However, the Big Four did have their own guesses! The Unforgivable Curse was most likely created by the first Dark Lord, whose name has been forgotten! He created it to deal with Merlin after he was defeated!"
Erwin raised his hand.
Professor Binns nodded and said, "Mr. Erwin, if you have any questions, just ask! From now on, if you have any questions in my class, you can just ask! No need to raise your hand!"
Erwin said, "Professor Binns! I've heard that the spells used by ancient wizards were completely different from ours! It wasn't until the emergence of the Big Four that modern spells were developed from ancient magic for better teaching!"
Professor Binns said, "That's right! When Hogwarts was first established, the Big Four, along with many teachers and wizards, worked together to create the current method of casting spells from ancient magic. After all, although ancient magic was extremely powerful, it required a trade-off of equal value!"
Erwin said, "If that's the case! What's the point of creating the Unforgivable Curses? Ancient magic is far more powerful than the Unforgivable Curses. The Dark Lord wouldn't do such a thing!"
Professor Binns said, "I don't know about that! Or rather, no one could know! After all, the era is too far away! But this kind of powerful and evil black magic can only be created by someone who has made great achievements in the way of black magic! Apart from the first generation Dark Lord, there would be no one else at that time!"
