Chapter 39: The Pure-Blood Gathering

The expression of the vampire of the Nofele clan can almost be described as stunned, looking at everything in front of them with trepidation and awe, a huge fire dragon corpse lying on the ice, a huge ice bridge spanning nearly half of the lake, and the Dark Lord, to whom their clan is allegiated, is waiting for them on the other side of the bridge.

The werewolves couldn't help but whisper as they lowered their heads.

Li Lin turned his back to these people at this time, he calculated the time, and took another sip of compound decoction, calculating, it should be the third or fourth time today.

When the vampire approached, Li Lin handed the vampire two bottles full of dragon blood.

Dragon's blood has many uses in potions, Dumbledore has published a paper on the use of dragon's blood, and for vampires, Muggle blood can only be regarded as the most basic life-sustaining thing, and their normal food is blood rich in magical power. But with their poverty never tasted.

Dragon's blood is the top-of-the-line existence on their food list.

Two trembling hands took the dragon's blood. Then at the same time, get down on one knee.

"Master!"

There was no doubt that the two vampires had sworn allegiance to Li Lin, and unlike their clan's idea that there was still a way out, the two vampires had succumbed to the great strength and willingness of Li Lin to do their best.

However, Voldemort's men all have opportunists like Malfoy, and even super spies like Snape. Li Lin doesn't think that if you show your strength, you can have subordinates who will never betray.

But it's better than nothing, at least there are a lot of things that don't need to be run around in the future.

Li Lin returned to the UK again through the Vanishing Cabinet, and then put away the Vanishing Cabinet here. He returned to Lovegood's house by moonlight. After all, it was already past midnight, and if you continued to stay outside for a while, it would be dawn.

After sneaking back to his room, Li Lin immediately went to bed to rest, after all, he was still a little tired after experiencing a lot of things this night.

But unfortunately, almost in the early morning, Li Lin was awakened by his mother, Mrs. Lovegood, and his attitude was very resolute, and Li Lin was not allowed to refuse. So he had to wash up with two dark circles under his eyes.

Li Lin, who finally took care of it, sat down at the dining table.

"So, Mother, what the hell is going on?"

Li Lin asked with a helpless face, a short period of sleep was not enough at all, and he desperately wanted to continue sleeping in bed now.

"Lin, it's a party. A gathering of pure-blood families. ”

With a bang, Li Lin's head hit the dining table.

He already knew what he was up against.

The pure-blood family has been passed down from the oldest past to the present, and finally got its name because of a book, known as the Sacred Pureblood Twenty-Eight Family.

But in fact, almost all of these twenty-eight so-called pure-blood families have mixed blood. Not as pure-blood as they claim, and of course, this is where pureblood defines the shift today.

The surname Lovegood is a pure-blood family name, but judging by the variegation of their hair color, one of their ancestors was openly married to a Muggle, or a wizard from a Muggle family. But this, it is impossible to judge, the Lovegood family has declined, and there is no complete genealogical system like the Black family.

However, until the 17th century, wizards marrying Muggles were considered to be confused with their own blood, and their offspring would be considered half-blood.

However, even in modern times, pure-blood wizards combined with Muggle-born wizards have still been accepted as pure-bloods.

But the Lovegood family withdrew from the pure-blood family, and judging from the age, it should be the ancestor of the family who married a Muggle woman, not what Li Lin had imagined before. So the Lovegood family lost the title of pure-blood.

But today, pureblood is almost non-existent, and for reasons such as war, there are almost no twenty-eight heirs at the gathering of pure-blood families.

And the Lovegood family at least inherited the pure-blood surname of Lovegood, so they were invited to this party. To be reasonable, it is used to make up the number of people.

Pureblood, the term originally referred to a family or individual who did not have non-magical blood. Salazar Slytherin developed the concept. At the same time, the definition of non-pure-blooded was expanded.

One of the founders of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry had a dislike of educating Muggle-borns, which sowed the seeds of his split with the other founders and expanded the scope of the purebloods.

First of all, the literature of the time and some ideas think. Muggle-borns were not only accepted, but were often considered more gifted. They got the nickname "magbob", which roughly means: magic is born out of nothingness.

But Slytherin's perverse and misleading discrimination against his origins began to circulate because he was at the helm of Slytherin.

Attitudes in the wizarding world changed after the International Secrecy Act came into effect in 1692, when wizarding communities spontaneously took refuge under Muggle persecution. It was a dark time for wizards, and intermarriage with Muggles was at an all-time low, mainly due to the fear that intermarriage would lead to the inevitable exposure of identity and therefore serious violations of wizarding law.

And in such turmoil, terror and resentment, pure-bloodism began to gather believers. They have been stubbornly opposed to international secrecy law and, at the same time, agitated for war against Muggles. It has to be said that if the war decree had been passed at that time, the ruler of this world would have changed.

The volatile environment has led more and more wizards to preach that intermarriage with Muggles is not only a risk of violating secrecy laws, but also shameful, unnatural, and will lead to the tarnishing of wizarding blood.

And before that, since Muggle-wizard intermarriage had been a normal practice for centuries, it was unlikely that those who taunted themselves as pure-bloods would have better wizarding ancestors than others.

But after the passage of the International Secrets Act, calling a person pure-blood has become politically correct.

In the same way, there was also a discriminatory attitude towards wizards born in Muggle families.

Today, when the talents of pure-blood families have disappeared in the long course of history, they advertise themselves as pure-bloods, generally showing magical abilities before the age of three, and riding a broomstick at the age of seven, which is a rather ridiculous statement.

Follow-up research provided by the Department of Mysteries has shown that these manifestations that are considered pure-bloods have in fact no basis whatsoever. But despite this, many purebloods continue to flaunt them as proof of superiority in the wizarding world. After all, they don't have the talent they once had, and even if they did, they would have been crushed by the wand.

In the early thirties of the 20th century, the Pureblood Guide was published anonymously in the United Kingdom, and it identified the 28 pure-blood families that existed in the United Kingdom.

For example, the Abbott family, the Weasley family, the Longbottom family, the Black family, the Crouch family, etc.

It only talks about the purity of the bloodline of these families, and does not elaborate too much on the talents of these families.

However, according to Li Lin's understanding, the Gaunt family, that is, Voldemort's matriarchal family, the talent inherited by their family, is the parseltongue, which still exists even now.

Although Li Lin refused to participate in the party, his mother's enthusiasm was still very high, and the dress she gave Li Lin was prepared for today.

This made Li Lin a little helpless, so Li Lin couldn't help but knock on the side, and only then did he get her thoughts from his mother, who loved spells.

Because Li Lin showed almost the same characteristics as a squib. Mrs. Lovegood had to think about Li Lin's descendants in advance, so she hoped that Li Lin would be able to get together with a girl from a pure-blood family.

In this way, the possibility that the child will still be a wizard in the future is very large.

Wizard families that have inherited this concept for a little longer are more superstitious, and if you think about it, perhaps it is because they believe in this concept that they have passed it on for a longer time.

After Li Lin got this answer, he couldn't say anything to persuade him, if he showed that he had been able to cast spells without a wand, I am afraid that what he got would be more doubts and excessive concern from his mother.

After all, from the birth of wands to the present, there has never been a record in the wizarding world that you cannot use a wand.

Li Lin couldn't refuse, so he had to let his mother dress up, although he is only 11 years old this year, but the age of marriage for British men and women is 16.

At this time, I have to complain, obviously the wizarding world rejects the Muggle world so much, why should it be on par with the marriage age, as for being so fashionable?

Finally, after a busy morning, Mrs. LoveGoode stopped, and Li Lin's hair was combed again. Because of his young age, he does not reflect any attributes such as handsomeness and masculinity, but because of his long hair and Mrs. Lovegood's feminine aesthetic reasons, she is dressed a little delicately, to be precise, a little too cute.

Li Ming sighed to himself in the mirror, that is, the business of the wizarding world is not very prosperous, and at the same time, magic is correspondingly more convenient, otherwise his mother, I'm afraid she has to take her shopping, that is a desperate experience.

After lunch, Li Lin set out for the party, and Mr. Lovegood was supposed to go with him, but there was something going on at the Singing Bad magazine, so Mr. Lovegood had to go and deal with it, and Li Lin handed it over to Godot. It was Godot who took Li Lin to go, too, to protect.

The meeting took place at the Malfoy family's estate, not their ancestral home in Wiltshire, of course, but their property in London.

Godot knew the place, so he took Li Lin's phantom to the shapeshift.
