Chapter 476: Hogwarts Fantasy of the Three Schools
"The statues on this bridge represent King Arthur's one hundred and fifty knights of the round table, each of which is a very powerful magic prop, protecting the safety of Hogwarts and the world."
On the long bridge outside Hogwarts, Watson led teachers and students from the three schools to introduce the Knights' Mech standing on the bridge.
Hagrid looked at the round table knights facing the bridge with weapons around him, looking at their bodies, which were more than four times taller than themselves, and their scarlet eyes.
He murmured unnaturally to McGonagall beside him.
"McG, these statues seem to be alive, they are staring at us."
"That's a magic prop, it's not normal to live? Pay attention to his demeanor, Hagrid, and other people from other schools, don't be too fussy." McGonagall said softly.
But in fact, it’s not just Hagrid, but the teachers and students of other schools also felt a little uncomfortable peeking.
The students of Hogwarts were already used to it, but these outsiders were obviously a little uncomfortable and subconsciously accelerated their pace to finish the bridge as soon as possible.
But just as they walked across the bridge and entered the garden in front of Hogwarts Castle, they were attracted by the huge statues standing on the garden.
Wearing a crown, a robe, and ten rings on his hands, it was a statue that looked exactly like Solomon erected by Pandragorn.
If it was just an ordinary statue, it would certainly not attract their attention, but from the beginning of entering here, more and more students were coming and going around.
Some students would worship when passing by this statue, and sometimes they would leave a fresh flower, and under the statue was already filled with many flowers.
"Who is this?"
Mrs. Olim Maxim, the principal of Busbaton, asked curiously.
It was a mixed-race giant taller than Hagrid, but it was the opposite of the sloppy Hagrid.
Despite her size, she is elegant (and dances are great).
She had an olive face, a pair of dark and watery eyes, and her hair was combed behind her head.
She was wrapped in a black satin dress from head to toe and wore a lot of luxurious opals. She spoke great English, although with a French accent.
In Harry Potter's Goblet of Fire plot, she quickly won the favor of Hagrid:
For her, he made his hair look like a pile of mud, put on his most inappropriate clothes, and even told her during the confidentiality stage that the first event of the Triumph was Fire Dragon.
We don't know if Mrs. Maxim was moved by this, but on the other hand, Hagrid's move at the Christmas ball did make her very upset.
Hager thought Olim was a mixed-race giant like him—in fact, he was right, but she was really upset.
With Rita's article, which made Hager a mixed-race giant public, was published in the Daily Prophet, Hager's mood became even more depressed.
They became friends again before the third event of the June Triumph Championship began.
Hagrid even convinced her to go with him to find the giants in the Eastern European mountains, trying to get the giants to join in and fight Voldemort together.
Their friendship has grown even more during this journey, even if the mission ends in failure.
Olim also showed her other side of grace during this time: her jewellery and clothing, her hard work and her admirable ability in negotiating with the 20-foot-tall giant.
She eventually admitted her mixed-race giant bloodline, and she also proved that she was an unusual woman.
However, when Harry's children went to Hogwarts to attend school, Hagrid still lived in his cottage, and Mrs. Maxim was still in France, which shows that they should not be married.
Hagrid was over 60 years old when he met Maxim. They were no longer young and cherished this rare fate even more.
For the two mixed-race giants, if there is someone they care about and miss, their lives will no longer be lonely.
Then whether you are together or getting married is no longer that important.
Hagrid was not so anxious to come forward to reminisce with his old lover, but stood beside McGonagall, staring at her quietly, waiting for a better opportunity to be alone...
"He is King Solomon."
Watson looked up at the statue with emotion, his complex face murmur.
"King Solomon?" Maxim murmured softly, "Is it the ancient king of miracles in Israel?"
Watson nodded.
Mrs. Maxim continued, "Why do you want to establish his statue? Shouldn't you Hogwarts be the statue of the four founders?"
Before coming, Dumbledore explained the world and the origin of Hogwarts with the staff of the three schools.
The same rhetoric as Roman and Sherlock said, while Hogwarts in this world also has the same origin as Hogwarts, a school jointly established by the four great wizards.
"The founders created Hogwarts, and we respect them, but King Solomon is different."
Watson murmured with deep eyes, as if he was recalling the past.
“Eight years ago, the world suffered a disaster that was enough to lead to the end of the world.
Countless terrifying and fierce monsters invaded and killed people in this world wantonly, despair and death were everywhere. In that disaster, hundreds of millions of people died in the whole world in just one day!"
When hearing this terrible number, whether it was McGonagall, Hagrid, or Maxim's easy-to-use students who came to communicate with the three schools behind him for magic, they all widened their eyes.
Although the magic world in their world is not calm, let alone Voldemort.
Even when Grindelwald was there, no more than tens of thousands of people died in the entire magic world with Muggles.
Compared to what the young man in front of him said, it was like a child playing house.
"But, it was at such a time of despair that King Solomon appeared."
Watson looked up at the statue of King Solomon in admiration.
"He was merciful to the suffering of all beings. He was originally enjoying himself in heaven and resolutely came to the world as a hero.
At the moment of the final decisive battle with those monsters, he burned his body, achievements, magic and even the spiritual foundation on the Temple of Heroes, and once again performed a "miracle" in this world.
Not only did it save this world, but it also saved the lives who were forced to become monsters and kept killing, and saved tens of billions of lives in both worlds!"
Speaking of this, Watson paused and his voice gradually turned low.
"But he... has completely returned to "No". Even the God's Temple of Heroes no longer has traces left by him.
He could no longer live in the country of God, and even his soul no longer existed and he died completely.
All that remains is left, the memories of him that we have in our hearts…”
"After his death, all our Hogwarts students petitioned the school to set up a statue of Solomon inside Hogwarts to commemorate the hero."
Watson murmured softly, "Other than a school doctor, the entire Hogwarts all agreed to this proposal, which is also the origin of this statue."
...
The long silence gradually spreads among the three schools...
They have never experienced these things and are very unfamiliar with some of the nouns mentioned by Watson.
But the numbers he said were extremely clear, allowing them to most intuitively feel the intensity of the war and how great everything King Solomon did was.
Madame Maxim took a deep breath, and looked at King Solomon with a little respect.
"Although we don't understand what the world has experienced, I think he is indeed a respectable hero to sacrifice himself and save so many people."
Watson let out a sigh of relief and said, "Sorry, Madam Maxim, I have more words when I mention King Solomon. Come with me quickly, the banquet is about to begin."
As he said that, he stretched out his palm and asked for a gesture yesterday.
"It's okay, I like to hear stories about heroes," said Mrs. Maxim gracefully. "If you can, can you tell me more about this King Solomon?"
"no problem……"
Watson, a teacher-student follower of the three schools, continued to walk deeper.
But when they passed by King Solomon, they all respectfully bowed to the statue.
...
As the principals and students of the three schools gradually drifted away, Sherlock and Roman followed them into the square.
The space on the mysterious island is blocked, and even Sherlock cannot use the space gate here.
Like the teachers and students of the three schools, Sherlock and Martin also bowed to the statue of King Solomon.
Roman looked at the two men with a stiff expression. He also heard Watson's words just now.
Although it has been many times, every time he sees these people bowing to the statue of King Solomon, he has an indescribable awkwardness.
Especially after having the emotions of being a human being.
But there is no way, Roman is just an ordinary school doctor and has no say in Hogwarts.
Even if he opposed the establishment of the statue, it would be of no use.
In short, he has already locked out ten sea view rooms with his awkward ten toes. The key is that he has to pretend to be the same respect...
