Chapter 1471: There are a lot of house-elves
Not a request, but a command.
The ring of fire tightened tighter and tighter, and the encircled house-elf demon screamed loudly.
Dumbledore's flames did not cause any visible damage to its body, but it looked painful, painful, and brutally tortured.
For a moment, Aven, Harry, Hermione, Elaine, and Ron looked at each other.
This is the Devil?
What about the terrible things that are good, what about the power of the good ones, and the majesty of the demons that are good about them?
This guy is so weak, really weak.
In the face of Dumbledore's fiery restraints, it didn't even have a symbolic resistance.
It's amazing, you know, it's not some powerful magic.
As for this guy's strength, Evan has another judgment to prove that it is indeed weak, and that is magic.
The magic power he consumed to summon this demon just now was very small, and for Evan now, it was simply a negligible consumption, and to the extent of using two or three "disarming spells", how powerful could the magical creatures that could be summoned with such a small amount of magic power?!
"Damn, damn it, stop, stop this magic, what do you have to ask?" ”
Under Dumbledore's control, the golden-red ring of flame spread out in all directions, leaving room for it.
"Damn wizards, it's always been like this, that's why I hate you. The demon said resentfully, his face twisted, "What do you insatiable guys want to ask? ”
"We want to know something about Hufflepuff. Evan said, "The message she left ......"
Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the demon on the other side, and the resentful expression on its face quickly turned to surprise.
"Hufflepuff, you mean Helga Hufflepuff?!"
"Yes. Evan said, the guy's reaction was so strange, "You know her?"
"Of course I know, the Headmaster of Hogwarts, the famous wizard, the famous soothsayer, and who doesn't know?" replied the demon angrily, "I must admit that she did us a lot of help at the time, but you have the wrong person to know about her from me." You should ask her poor friend, not me. ”
Poor friend?
"Who is this friend you're talking about?" asked Aven.
"Of course it's that elf traitor, that shameful coward, he has long since completely surrendered to the wizard, and he wants to stop me, because I have been calling on the elves to rebel against the wizards, and we can fight......" It began to talk about the war between the house-elves and the wizards, which happened a thousand years ago.
Because of the length of time, and because there is not much wizard history related to house-elves, there is only a small description of this history in the history of magic: wizards conquered house-elves through external expansion, and since then, the elves have become a subordinate race of wizards, and the magic and servility in their bloodlines have made them serve their masters for generations.
As for the details of the war, there is no record.
Despite the incoherent words spoken by the house-elf demon, it was barely audible that he was a witness to this ancient war and advocated fighting the wizards. To be exact, it is a hero, a hero who belongs to the house-elves.
During the war with the wizards, the house-elves eventually lost their homes, and many of the elves became captives of the wizards.
Hufflepuff took in some house-elves, the demon seems to have found some powerful magical object in the castle, it thinks it can change the outcome of the war, but at the last moment, it is betrayed by the traitor it speaks of, and is left at Hogwarts forever in the form of a demon.
It didn't say exactly what the magical item was, but it was clearly a source of power that transformed it into a demon.
This history is quite interesting, and Hermione listens carefully.
Dumbledore also seemed interested in the topic and did not interrupt it.
It's Elaine who is a little impatient, this house-elf demon has subverted her understanding of demons, there is no fear and nervousness at all, she has no interest in this history at all, this place is so cold, she wants to go back.
Finally, she asked impatiently, "Who is that he you are talking about?"
"I said, it's that traitor, that coward......"
"What's his name?"
A moment of silence, a long time seemed to make the house-elf demons forget each other's names.
It just cursed him with words like traitor and coward, resenting what he had done back then.
Soon, the demon seemed to think of something.
Its expression distorted again, "Of course it's Toto, that traitor, I'll never forget him!"
"Toto......" Evan has an impression of the name, and when he first returned to Hogwarts a thousand years ago, Hufflepuff had asked her house-elf Doto to bring him a lot of treats she had made herself, all of which tasted so strange that they would be remembered for a lifetime.
Tracing his gustatory memories, Evan remembered a house-elf: he was neatly dressed, wearing a rare outfit, and ......
"It's Toto, that traitor, that coward, what elf is willing to be a servant of a wizard other than him?!" said the house-elf demon indignantly, "he simply treats Hufflepuff as everything, even after her death, he is willing to stay in this ghost place, and instills his set of false theories into the other elves, so that they can work for the wizards in the castle for free, look at the nonsense he says, what does he think of elves?!"
The only house-elf who willingly serves as a servant for wizards?
It's going to be everywhere now, okay?
Now house-elves are not just servants, but slaves of the wizards to whom they belong, private property, not to mention the service of wizards, they are eager to give everything they have, they do not need wages, holidays, no benefits, they take pride in their labor, they are ashamed of being free to wander.
After death, they also wanted their owners to cut off their heads and hang them on the wall as decorations.
In the ring of fire in front of Aven, the house-elf demon began to speak a lot of bad words and curse him again.
It's all about how he sells the dignity of raising elves to serve Hufflepuff and the other wizards at school.
It seems that there is a deep contradiction and hatred between the two sides, and even after a thousand years, they are still obsessed.
Truth be told, he should have taken a tour of it and learned how house-elves live now......
