Chapter 603: The Head of a House-Elf

Behind the brick wall, is a wide space. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

As soon as Evan entered, he was taken aback, facing his huge wall, which was densely covered with something.

When I looked closely, I realized that they were all wrinkled heads of house-elves.

They were densely stacked on top of each other, and they all had the same ugly big noses on them.

These were much more realistic than the row of house-elf heads that Evan had seen in the Black family's old mansion before, and under cryogenic preservation, they appeared lifelike, as if they were alive, staring at the intruder with big eyes and indifference.

There are many house-elves with humble expressions and smiles on their faces, and the corners of their mouths are very exaggerated.

On such occasions, these smiles do not feel the slightest kindness except for the eerie ones.

Imagine the sensory stimulation, shock and pressure that thousands of ugly heads piled together.

If he didn't know that house-elves had a habit of cutting off their heads and hanging them on the wall after death, Evan would have thought that this was the base of some of the most evil dark wizards, and that only the psychopaths would hang such things on the walls.

Separated by a wall, on one side is Hogwarts' cold storage for food, and on the other side is indeed a hellish head gallery.

If the students saw this picture, they wondered if they would be able to eat the food made by the house-elves.

Behind Aven, Dobby walked in.

He suddenly screamed, and his right arm crossed over to cover his eyes.

Dobby held the corner of Aiwen's clothes with his other hand, and followed Aiwen trembling forward, as if he was very afraid.

"Master Aven, let's go back!" said Dobby, "It's making Dobby feel uncomfortable here." ”

"Uncomfortable?!" Evan asked, "Isn't it your house-elf tradition to cut off your head and hang it on the wall?"

As far as he knew, the vast majority of house-elves had this terrible thought, such as Kreacher.

His biggest dream was to cut off his head and hang it with his ancestors in the Black family's old mansion.

"Dobby doesn't like this tradition, Dobby don't hang his head here!" Dobby said sharply, "Dobby is a free elf, and Dobby will be buried like a wizard when he dies...... Let's go back, Master Aiwen!"

"Wait, we're seeing!" said Aven, amusedly looking at the house-elf trembling at his feet.

He led Dobby past the rows of house-elf heads, wand aloft, and looked around carefully.

The large room was cold and quiet, perhaps because someone cleaned it regularly, and there was not even dust on the floor.

Only the heads on the walls hung silently, with strange expressions on their faces.

Some of the house-elves looked solemn, some were smiling, some were angry, and some were very humble......

In a way, this is the sacred place for Hogwarts house elves.

From these heads on the walls, you can see the changes in history and the change in the status of house-elves.

House-elves in different eras dress differently and have different expressions on their faces.

Most of the elf ancestors' heads that Evan saw at first were full of confidence, and there were also many exaggerated accessories.

Many of the trinkets were of high value, and Aven could even feel the magic in them.

As you can imagine, the house-elves of that era were relatively wealthy and had a lot of personal property.

This was the early days of the history of magic, and they were a free and independent species before domestic elves became slaves to wizards.

They were on an equal footing with wizards, as they were docile, peace-loving, and possessed powerful magical powers, and the house-elves of that era were the most inhuman, intelligent creatures most closely associated with wizards, and they were hired by human wizards to serve as assistants to wizards in various magical fields.

Evan moved on, thinking back to the history of the house-elf race he had seen in the book.

The further back you go, the closer you get to modern times, the more humble the look on the elf face on the wall, and there are no longer so many ornaments.

At this time, they are no longer a free species, but the efforts of wizards.

There was a section of the wall with a head hanging from it, and the house-elves on it were missing something, or more.

The faces look particularly shocking.

They appear to have been subjected to some kind of cruel abuse, permanently damaged by irreversible magic.

This was the period when pure-blood theories and dark magic were at their highest, and the persecution of house-elves by wizards was the worst.

Even the house-elves in the school are not immune to being attacked and abused by the students as a tool for fun.

One can imagine how miserable those elves living in pure-blood wizard families will be.

In fact, in those dark times, the same was true for other creatures.

In this case, there are many inhuman, intelligent beings who have rebelled against the tyrannical rule of human wizards.

The most famous of these is the Goblin Rebellion, which they have rebelled against many times.

The largest and most successful one occurred in 1612, when the elves used Hogsmeade's tavern as a command to attack the wizarding world.

At the beginning of the battle, the cunning goblins, ostensibly allies of the wizards, hide behind the scenes.

But in the dark, they unite the giants and let them come out to make trouble.

While the Ministry of Magic's army was engaged in a battle with the giants, the elves suddenly mutinied.

The sudden turn of events left the wizards devastated, and many of them died in the battle.

The goblins occupied the Ministry of Magic and Diagon Alley as quickly as possible, and even the pure-blood wizard family was attacked, and everyone was in danger for a while.

The last and most tragic phase of the war was the Hogwarts Attack and Defence.

The elves continue to build on the advantages they have gained, and they unite inhuman intelligent creatures such as centaurs, giants, merfolk, and vampires, as well as a large number of dangerous magical creatures, as well as the help of many evil dark wizards, far exceeding the wizarding forces of the Ministry of Magic.

Wizards huddle in Hogwarts Castle, their allies limited to house-elves and a handful of magical creatures.

House-elves are the only inhuman magical creatures in the Elven Rebellion that have not betrayed a human wizard.

At that time, the Ministry of Magic and pure-blood wizard families probably promised the house-elves a lot of things to convince them to become their allies.

There's no way to find it, and Evan doesn't know how they did it.

The only thing that can be known is that the bitter war ended in a draw, and the elves did not succeed in taking Hogwarts, but the wizarding world has successively recognized the independent status of inhuman intelligent beings such as elves, centaurs, and merfolk, and they are no longer slaves of wizards.

Only the status of the house-elves who helped the wizards in the war did not change in any way, but instead they were subjected to more deformed and severe enslavement and oppression, and at that time, there was no one to speak for them...... (To be continued.) )
