The rest of the day was long and tiring. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Xie An spends most of his time studying the magical photos she took with Luna. Luna took a lot of pictures of Xie An and other friends, and she used transfiguration to create beautiful photo frames and put pictures of her favorite friends on the head of the bed. In order to prevent others from taking her photos, she also cast a subtle positioning charm on those photos, which she learned from Xie An.

Xie An tried to connect his memories with these photos, trying to feel better about himself, pretending that there was a dimension between himself and the world. But Dumbledore's affairs, as well as Helena's revelation of the huge secret, made Shea's mind not idle for a moment.

"I'll keep these photos forever, they're more important than anything else, and they're priceless to me. Only these memories are mine, and if anyone wants to share them with me in the future, I think I will be happy to tell them our story. Luna said calmly as she looked at the magic photos.

"Luna, you're so much in love. Maybe someone else doesn't think that way at all. Xie An said pessimistically.

"What are you talking about, didn't Andrew consider me a friend?" Luna looked at Xie An with a hint of nervousness in curiosity.

Xie An shrugged his shoulders helplessly, "I'm afraid I'm the only one who will treat you as a true friend, oh, of course, maybe Hermione, uh, maybe Potter, who was born a savior." Xie An said with a wry smile.

"yes, then Luna has three friends at once, much more than Mom thought. Neville Longbottom and I often went to the stargazing tower in the divination class to look at the stars, and once I asked Neville, "Are we friends?" Neville said yes, and I consider him friends, and we treat each other as friends, so it looks like Luna has four good friends. That's a lot!" Luna said happily again.

After hearing this, Xie An felt very novel and sad.

It had been a long time since he had expected a pure and simple friendship. People seem to pay little attention to anything other than common interests. You and your lover, you and your comrades, you and your colleagues, these complex relationships rarely involve something concrete. The passion between lovers, the mutual help between colleagues, or maybe you are looking forward to your comrades helping you at critical moments. There are very few friendships like this that do not contain anything else, but are bound together by mutual interest.

Ineffective and futile friendship.

Trying to think of your friend as a fish that only exists in your mind in the far reaches of the sea, when you are lonely and miserable, you can say to yourself: Hey, maybe I'm not having a good time, but at least he or she, my friend so-and-so is doing well, you see, we all like photography, which shows that photography is not useless, and it proves that I am not useless either.

Xie An is more accustomed to solving problems by himself, and he sets all his goals on himself.

Luna and Shayne went to class and finished class together, talked and ate, Hermione greeted the two with some curiosity, Shayne was very happy to join Hermione, and the dodo brought new news from Lord Earl: The opening of Hogsmeade Village has been scheduled for the week before Christmas, and the pure-blood and up-and-coming families in the wizarding world will participate, including Malfoy, Bones, Longbottom, etc., as long as the family has a certain status in the wizarding world, they will be invited.

In Xie An's opinion, this was the wizard's last dying throes. Of course, no one wants this paradise to decay and destroy this wonderful world, but the reality is that in the last century, there have been more dark wizards with the goal of destroying horrors and so on than has ever been recorded in history! The defeated Gatler has not yet settled, and a new and more terrifying Voldemort has risen. Many wizards who had experienced the battle between good and evil began to weary and asked, "What's wrong with the world?" Is she no longer saved?

It is impossible to know when wizards appeared, but according to popular theory, the real and unambiguous process of wizards joining history began with the legendary wizard Merlin. The time was around the sixth century.

The mighty warrior named Arthur will bring astonishing changes to the entire ancient British civilization, at a time when the whole world is in chaos, far east, the emperors of the Northern and Southern dynasties are indulging in the ancient alchemy of the East, escaping a deadly palace coup. The glory of the Roman Empire had not yet been exhausted, and the Eternal King of ancient Britain had only begun his journey.

The realms of princes, shamans and knights dotted the land of ancient England, and at the foot of the mountain known as Barton Hill, where the fertile and barren Central Plains of England meets the Scottish Highlands in the north, is underway.

Those who have personally experienced the battle have the deepest memories of such a battle that is out of the ordinary human cognition. And those who are just hearsay have called it the Battle of Barton Hill. This bizarre and important Armageddon does not appear in any of the official history books of mankind. The final showdown between the Celtic leader King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table and the Anglo-Saxons ended with the Knight Legion slashing thousands of Anglo-Saxons.

Legend has it that the leader of the Celts, the Eternal King, Arthur's most important advisor and advisor was the legendary wizard Merlin.

Wizards are superhuman beings with inhuman powers. They roam the world with their special abilities, the ability to freely twist everything into what they want, and the fight to the death between other magical creatures who want to prevent humanity from unifying and thus achieving world domination.

At that time, wands had not yet been invented, and wizards fought only with powerful magic and mysterious spells. The battle between the two camps beyond Muggle knowledge, while exposed, was only perceived as surreal, confusing and terrifying. That battle broke out in such a chaotic era, in such an ancient world. However, due to its excessive transcendence of reality, it is incomprehensible, and history regards this war as a mysterious and treacherous dream, and after a few words of gentle dreaming, it is all forgotten.

In the middle of the night, a mutation struck. The shouts of the overwhelming thousands of soldiers were as powerful as the waves crashing on the shore, and the magic spells exploded in the sky like huge stars. Seven-colored fires flew everywhere, the camp turned into a sea of fire, and the devil's attack seemed too real compared to the illusion, as if it was going to be imprinted directly into people's hearts. The mighty and evil descendant of the Far Cuban Serpent opened their mouths to devour hundreds of soldiers, and fear completely took over the souls of ordinary Muggle soldiers. Merlin fought it with all his might, but the near-magically immune ancient serpent made all the wizards frustrated.

The footsteps of giants and ogres roared across the earth, and the undodging soldiers were trampled into the dirt and burst into pools of flesh, evil bloodthirsty spirits pounced from soldier to soldier, leaving only a sucked skin pouch over the skeleton, and a frightened woman prayed to the gods to protect her family from the demon's torment, but the elf's dagger cut her throat without hesitation.

The nightmare battle, through the bloody facts, proved his truth and cruelty.

At the center of the battlefield is the Eternal King Arthur and his close comrades, and the Knights of the Round Table are able to withstand the giants' onslaught by working with other wizards. The frenzied howls of the Anglo-Saxon lords, the desperate charge of the enemy with sharp weapons, the wails of the miserable civilians before they died, all this is a real thing.

Although history has since chosen to forget all this, many of the wizards and Knights of the Round Table who witnessed the battle were lucky to survive. With the near-miraculous magic of the Ancestral Witch Morgan Lefey, the world was turned upside down, and for the first time, the vision of a landslide appeared so real in front of ordinary humans. The people of the time did not see this terrible ability as a threat, but cheered and rejoiced that the wizard on their side had mastered such a huge spell.

After the end of the Great War, the Eternal King established his own kingdom. However, after the establishment of the kingdom, King Arthur's power grew larger, and it was natural that secular power and wizard power were in conflict. The group of wizards, who regard themselves as gods everywhere and consider themselves superior, has become the biggest hidden danger in the empire. In order to show his attitude, King Arthur rejected the admiration of the Ancestral Witch and instead married the daughter of an ordinary prince, Princess Guinevia, as his wife.

The legendary wizard Merlin dissuaded King Arthur from making enemies with Morgan Lefey, the Ancestral Witch, who was more powerful than any mortal could have imagined. But Arthur, who wields such a powerful force as the Knights of the Round Table, and secretly believes that wizards' magic is just a trick, insists on his choice with blind courage.

Enraged by King Arthur's betrayal, hatred and jealousy drown out the kindness and forgiveness of the Ancestral Witch, the Witch King wields powerful magic and prepares to forcibly twist the future of the thriving kingdom. She made one of King Arthur's knights of the Round Table, who was ranked very high in terms of strength, drink the initial aphrodisiac. The Knights of the Round Table, who drank the primordial aphrodisiac, fell madly in love with Princess Guinevia, Queen Arthur's queen.

The simple and kind princess begins to be ignorant of the witch king's machinations and overwhelmed by the pursuit of the knights of the round table. Mortal wisdom is eventually lost in the witch's demagogy, and the queen, broken by the peachy news about King Arthur for unknown reasons, chooses to take revenge on the eternal king through fornication with other knights.

This tragedy, which embodies the narrow-minded selfishness and other feelings of jealousy and rage that characterize human beings, does not end with the queen's captivity, and King Arthur, who considers himself seriously offended by his dignity, decides to lead his army across the sea to fight the betrayers who have fled to France.

The powerful Witch King sneered as King Arthur rejected the persuasion of the legendary wise Merlin and left his kingdom, and the Witch King Morgan Leffy and Vivienne of the Lake joined forces to defeat the wizard Merlin, who sealed the legendary wizard in a cage made of air, so that he would always exist as air and could not interfere with the real world in any way. It is said that this was to punish Merlin for not stopping King Arthur's flower.

Witches are far more magical than male witches, perhaps because many powerful goblins are women. At the same time, even if the average Muggle human made up for the richest knowledge in life with experience, hearsay, opinion, etc., he finally had to admit that the smartest Muggles and the best wizards of that era were not at all on the same order of magnitude in their grasp of the world and their destiny.

In layman's terms, this is where pure-blood wizards' sense of superiority comes from: wizards possess knowledge and power that Muggles can't even imagine, and they can trick Muggles into applause if they want to.

Unfortunately, this illusion only lasted for a few hundred years, and as more and more Muggle sages worked from generation to generation, the Muggle world had been turned upside down, while the wizarding world, as if frozen by powerful magic, was forever in the twilight of the setting sun.

Albus Dumbledore certainly discovered this. Wise old wizards have tried to change the old wizarding world when they are young, but the constraints of their parents, the death of their sister, the parting of ways of their friends, and the accusations of their younger brother have exhausted the ambition of the wizard in the prime of life.

As long as you follow the clear path of "fate", you can temporarily get an illusion, or you can say that it is easier for you to accept it, and you can stop thinking. Therefore, mortals like to predict their own future, as if they are some chosen one, and as long as they follow the determined future, they will always get a good result.

Pure-blood families are desperate to prove through the theory of descent that they can only or only deserve to live a life of luxury and happiness, and those defeated elven goblins and stupid Muggles can only be vassals attached to the higher races. "Fate" depends on your birth, and this is the core of the pure-blood family philosophy.

Of course, the Earl, who is well aware of the history of the Ancient East, has heard of these strange theories, and in fact, in the history of the Ancient Oriental Empire, there was an incomparably elaborate system to achieve such a rule: the Law of the Nine Rank Officials. This system, which was based on the birth of a family as the first element of selection, also took into account a little morality and talent, and once maintained the rule of pure-blood families for hundreds of years in the ancient Eastern Empire.

Regardless of the eventual demise of the system, Lord Earl feared that this variant of the doctrine of descent, the pure-blood theory practiced by the European Dark Lord Gatler—more extreme, stricter, and, of course, more cruel—had come close to dominating all of Europe not long ago.

Albus Dumbledore, a moderate reformer, now has the heart to unite with the nouveau riche wizarding family, and Shea's father, Earl Lee, is the embodiment of this force. When Xie An was very young, he knew that the principal and Count Li maintained close contact, but Xie An, who was still unable to integrate into this world at ease, had no intention of paying attention to these at all.

Fundamentally, this theory of descent has never died out or even weakened, and even today, whether in the Muggle world or the wizarding world, royalty still exists, and there is a huge market for ethno-ethnic territorialism that thinks that people should be superior by birth. Although many people are disgusted and rejected by these ideas on the surface, they still have dreams of getting something for nothing.

The hegemony of the Eternal King eventually disappeared with the wind, and the truth of history was buried in the depths of the Forbidden Forest with the passage of time. Today's Ministry of Magic still adheres to a conservative attitude, and although the Minister made many enlightened policy promises during his campaign, look at his right-hand men: Dolores Jane Umbridge, Mafalda Hopkirk, all representatives of conservatism, among which Deputy Minister Umbridge, as Fudge's confidant, is even more ruthless than her master in this regard--- she opposes the waste of limited educational resources on children of non-pure-blood families, and she wants to deprive them of their right to education.

There are many contradictions, and at the same time, the wizarding world is on the verge of survival. Muggles have reached the moon, and wizards are still indulging in a brave adventure in the Himalayas. Albus Dumbledore knew that if Hogsmeade's change didn't get off to a good start this time, then the entire wizarding world would reject any change next. (To be continued.) )
