Chapter 1401: A Visit to the Bishop of Hogwarts
There are many theories about the origin of magic, and there are many theories, which have always been the focus of debate in academic circles.
Among them, because of the worship of nature, demons, gods, and elves, some of the gifted people, that is, later wizards, comprehended or learned magic from them. There are also magical creatures with powerful magical powers that mate with humans, and some of their offspring become centaurs, merfolk, elves, or house-elves, and some inherit better genes, maintaining their human form and gaining the ability to use magic.
This particular descendant is believed to be the origin of pure-blood wizards, a theory that is currently widely accepted by the wizarding community, as it both proves that pure-blood wizards are special and different from ordinary Muggles, and explains why many pure-blood wizarding families have animal insignia.
Because, the animal motifs that appear on these family crests are not ordinary creatures, but the ancestors of pure-blood wizard families.
There are a lot of them, all of them are powerful creatures with names and surnames, and they only exist in legends.
The older and more noble the pure-blood wizard families, the more prevalent this phenomenon becomes.
In addition to this, there is a more logical origin theory, but it has never been recognized by wizards.
At least emotionally, not many wizards can accept this statement.
The current system of magic was inherited from the ancient warlocks of the previous era, which sounds reasonable and logical.
This can also be attested to by the ancient ruins discovered in recent years, as well as very classic examples.
Like, the despicable Helbo.
The same dark wizard who researched basilisks, horcruxes, and thousands of curses, and he may have turned himself into an evil god later, this guy is the most famous dark wizard in history, and the creator of the modern system of dark magic theory.
At the same time, he is also the last known ancient warlock.
This famous case proves this claim of the origin of magic to a great extent, but there is a problem here, and the main reason why wizards are generally reluctant to accept this claim, is that magic and spellcasters from the Roman Empire are considered to be the rightful heirs of ancient warlocks.
After the fall of the Roman Empire, the Eastern and Western Churches fought for the identity of the heir to the magic of the Roman Empire for more than a year, and they both considered themselves orthodox, did not recognize each other's legitimacy, nor did they recognize the existence of wizards and magic, and even launched countless jihad and witch hunts to defend their orthodoxy.
As Gryffindor said, they didn't know that doing so would hurt real wizards, but they did what they meant for themselves, which was to deprive wizards of their inheritance of the magical civilization of the Roman Empire.
For most of history, the reason for the antagonism between wizards and the Holy See was also largely due to this.
And the Holy See was very successful in this behavior, they defended their legitimacy, and even now, no wizard would think that they were of the same origin as the magic of the Holy See, and the wizards would not accept it emotionally, preferring to believe that their magical abilities came from those powerful magical creatures.
Although everyone is using magic, their origins are different, one is divine magic, and the other is heresy.
Of course, by the time Evan lived in later generations, there was no one who didn't pay attention to this thing.
The members of the Holy See who can use magic, like wizards, are all hidden, or have formed a strict system to manage it all, keep secrets, and give most of the world to Muggles, and those magical creatures are also very low-key, living only in certain protected areas.
But now it is still more than a thousand years ago, the situation is completely different, and both the Holy See and the wizards are very positive......
Although the current situation is not as tense as it was during the later witch hunts, in this case, a cardinal of the Holy See dared to openly visit Hogwarts, I have to say, this is a very bold act, and it can also be seen that the power of the Holy See is very strong, and the wizarding world is in a weak position compared to them......
"Which big man belongs to that carriage outside? Is it the Peverell family? Clive guy always brags about how rich his family is. ”
"Don't be stupid, didn't you see those pegasus?! That's only for the Holy See, and the pure-blood wizard family can't afford it. ”
"Yes, I'm Catholic, and so are my dad and mom......."
"Don't talk about that in school, you're a wizard now, those believers are Muggle or something. ”
A few minutes later, an old man in a white robe and a red cloak slowly walked into the Great Hall of Hogwarts Castle, holding a long scepter in his hand, topped in the shape of a cross.
With a smile on the old man's face, he should be the cardinal, and Evan clearly felt that the atmosphere had become tense, no one welcomed his arrival, no one even stood up, everyone sat upright in their chairs.
The atmosphere was completely different from the previous one, and almost all the wizards were staring at the bishop.
Their eyes were jealous, curious, and unreservedly hostile, and some wizards even pointed their wands at him.
But he didn't seem to notice it, unaffected by the substance-like magical pressure in the air.
He walked slowly to the high platform, like an ordinary Muggle old man, and greeted the four founders, those wizards who were very old, and some important people of pure-blood wizarding families, as if they were very familiar with each other.
Evan stared at him for a moment, then turned his head to look for the Malfoy family guy in the crowd.
He didn't find the other party, and he didn't know where he was hiding and what his expression was like now.
Although many things happened in between, his plot succeeded if the bishop proved that the Ravenclaw crown was fake......
Evan had to admit that he had thought of this conspiracy a bit simply.
The Ravenclaw crown was important and had become a symbol of wisdom, and if it proved to be lost, especially if it was stolen by her daughter, it would indeed be a complete scandal, causing an uproar in the wizarding world, and could have the effect of striking at the Ravenclaw family that the bill would not pass.
But if you want to shuffle the current strength of the wizarding world, it seems that the weight is still a bit insufficient.
But if the forces of the Holy See are involved, then this is not just a matter for Hogwarts and the wizarding world!
The Malfoy family, who were able to contact the Holy See, seemed to have a more complicated plan.
Also, the unstable interior of Hogwarts.
Gryffindor had just said that Salazar Slytherin's magic was not suitable for the Bishop to see, and why was that?
