Chapter 360: The Death of Time (4)

The elves are no longer the remnants of the previous High Elves, but have become vassals of the wizard race. The decline of the wizarding world, the first to be affected, is naturally these vassal races.

In the past hundred years, as the ancient family has successively severed its bloodline, more and more elves have disappeared into the dust of history. Even if the current Black family is left, there is only an old and frail elf left, and with the destruction of the Black family in the future, the elf of his family will disappear completely.

If there is any way for elves to save themselves, I am afraid that the only one is Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, where Elder Dora is. Almost one-tenth of the elves in the entire wizarding Britain are gathered here, and these elves who live together have become more united and powerful by protecting and helping each other.

Of course, with the current situation, if the wizarding world is destroyed, the chances of the elves being able to escape are too small. Of course, Xie An is very clear about this, in the apocalypse, human beings may not be the last race to survive, but they will definitely not be the first race to be exterminated.

With the passage of time, the entire wizarding Britain became a wizard's territory, and the northern forests at this time became a place of exile. After the High Elves and Blood Elves were captured and exterminated, wizards began to realize that killing would not solve any problem.

Wizards come from Muggles, and Muggles are too weak for many magical creatures. In order to protect these weaker kinds, wizards are not allowed to hunt down monsters that slip through the net. Most of these captured monsters were killed, and a few were more intelligent and chose to flee.

These monsters continue to migrate to the cold regions of the north, and after a few decades, the forests of the north become the last home for these monsters. Faced with this chaotic forest overrun by monsters, the newly formed Wizarding Alliance did not rush to extermination, partly because it could be very costly, and partly because the wizards between Wizarding Britain and the European continent began to see each other as enemies.

Due to the sudden outbreak of internal conflicts among wizards, the northern forest was preserved, and as the internal war among wizards intensified, this forest became the prototype of the forbidden forest.

In the years that followed, many extremely little-known events took place in the Forbidden Forest, such as the continuous development of the Wizarding Union, the emergence of the Ministry of Magic, and the establishment of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and a series of other events that had little impact on the Forbidden Forest. It wasn't until hundreds of years after Hogwarts Castle became a wizarding school that the students here were freed from the brutal sectarian conflict, wizarding and Muggle conflicts, and began to focus on the castle's closest neighbor: the Forbidden Forest.

This legend appears in the notes of many wizards, most of whom believed that the Forbidden Forest existed for more than a few decades, even before the history of wizarding England, which can be inferred from the exploration of the Forbidden Forest and the age of some of the plants in the Forbidden Forest.

In other words, before the establishment of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and even before the advent of Hogwarts Castle, this forest was already a forbidden place for wizards, and the intelligent creatures in it were all descendants of wizarding enemies, and they did not welcome any wizards into the Forbidden Forest.

Hermione once vaguely realized that the reason why the Forbidden Forest was called the Forbidden Forest was definitely not because of the legend of werewolf activities in it, and powerful wizards were natural enemies of werewolves. However, both the Ministry of Magic and the professors at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry warned students not to enter the Forbidden Forest, probably because of the unimaginable dangers hidden in the Forbidden Forest.
