Chapter 128: History of the Wizarding World

George's expression was a little strange, and he said slowly, "It's not so much about avoidance as it is about discrimination and self-isolation." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Harry and Ron had also been puzzled by the history of wizards hiding from Muggles, and when they heard George's words, they immediately leaned forward and listened more intently.

George's face was a little strange, as if he didn't know how to explain it, but he quickly began to calm down and said, "I told you that the basic education in the wizarding world is not good. A lot of wizards are very bad at logic and math, so you don't have to worry about learning to be better than others. ”

Harry and Hermione both nodded, George had encouraged them on the train at the beginning of their first year. And later, their situation also confirmed George's statement.

"We all have good grades, much better than other students from wizarding families. Hermione said confidently.

Not only did their grades be good, they were at the top of the grade in the whole grade. Although there weren't many people in one grade, Hermione might have even taken first place in every class if she hadn't been overpowered by George.

Harry and Ron weren't as good as Hermione, but they were both excellent in their schoolwork, and occasionally perfect. Their results are better than those of Malfoy, who came from a big family.

"But in fact, this statement is very unfair, the wizarding world has only lost to the world of ordinary people in the last 100 years. The former wizarding world was an existence that the real world looked up to. "In order to comfort Harry and Hermione, George had said bad things about education in the wizarding world, but in reality this comparison is unfair, it depends on the time.

"In other words, the wizarding world in the past was much more advanced and powerful than the world of ordinary people. Hermione followed George's thoughts and began to think.

More than 1,000 years ago, England was just unified, in the Anglo-Saxon era. Later, it was William, Duke of Normandy, who crossed the sea to conquer England and establish the Normandy dynasty. He was known to history, "William the Conqueror".

"There are too many advanced, you know, ordinary people at that time didn't take a bath, didn't brush their teeth, didn't wash their hair. George gave a figurative example, "They had more oil on their heads than Snape, and their hair dirtier than Snape." ”

"Hmm!" Hermione looked disgusted.

Harry and Ron also felt a little sick at the mention of Snape's hair, and he couldn't wash his hair more and learn from Lockhart.

"This is only the smallest aspect, in those days the infant mortality rate was as high as thirty percent or more, and even the aristocracy of the time had an average life expectancy of less than forty. ”

"Less than one person out of a hundred people is literate, and most of the nobles are illiterate, and few children can go to school. ”

To give an example of not washing your hair, not bathing, and not brushing your teeth although vivid. But after all, it is only a small section, and the real big life, as big as life and death, is the terrible scene that is really revealed in ancient times.

"It's scary. "Harry, they were all frightened by the life of people in ancient times, ancient times were not idyllic, country buildings, it was really backward, really poor, really dirty.

"At that time, the wizarding world already had equality between men and women, and with knowledge and education, the wizarding world at that time was incredibly ahead compared to the ordinary world. ”

George also thought of the wizarding world at that time, and he also felt incredible. At that time, the wizarding world was like modern people traveling through the past, their lives, and their abilities were completely ahead of the whole world.

"The world of ordinary people at that time was too backward. Hermione couldn't help but say.

Even if she came from the world of ordinary people, but thinking of that wild and backward era, the average life expectancy of ordinary people was less than forty, and the infant mortality rate was close to half, she had to admit that the world of ordinary people at that time was too backward, far less than the wizarding world.

It is precisely because of these that the average life expectancy is less than 40, and the infant mortality rate is close to half. Most of the time there is less than one percent literacy, endless wars and killings, endless deaths and backwardness. George said in a calm tone.

Harry, Ron, and Hermione all looked a little listless, and when they remembered that era, they could only feel sad except for being discouraged.

"The shamans were like modern people who went to the primitive tribes of Africa, and they were alien to the whole world. They hate the world, they don't look down on it. George's tone was a little ethereal, as if he also experienced the situation and mood of the wizards at that time.

Harry, Ron, and Hermione were all brought into that era by George's voice.

On one side are primitive and barbaric ordinary people, short and thin, and their bodies that have not been washed all year round emit a strong smell. A mouth is a smoky breath, a mouthful of yellow teeth, and a mouth full of vulgarity.

They are vulgar and crazy, they don't know life and death, and they can fight to the death for the honor of a word. It is also possible to sell everything for the benefit of a piece of land.

They can not only value righteousness over life and death, but also value profit over separation.

They live and die, madly indulgent, fearful of everything, and eager to conquer everything.

On the other side is a rational and arrogant wizard, tall, handsome, and meticulous in every stitch on his body.

They opened their mouths with a full stomach and a poetic spell. Entering and exiting is high-altitude and netherworld, and there are no taboos. Contacts are strong and sage, and there is no weakness.

They are intellectually arrogant, they consider themselves not mortal, they seek strength and despise the weak.

They can face the crazy and elegant concessions of the weak, but their sanity and tolerance are more like the fear of sticking to the dirty, and they will never treat ordinary people as creatures of their kind.

They value strength, they value knowledge, they know that men and women are equal, they know how to help each other, but these have always been limited to their own kind. For creatures of their own kind, they all categorize, "Dirty." ”

"It's hard for such a group to come together. Hermione thought about it, not knowing whether it was time for the sane and arrogant wizard to accommodate ordinary people, or for the weak and numerous ordinary people to worship wizards.

"Wizards hate this world, wizards don't look down on this world, they don't look down on it either, and they also discriminate against all the ordinary people in this world. George's voice returned to the ground from high in the air, revealing a solemn pressure.

"That's where pure-blood wizards discriminate against Muggles and half-bloods?" Hermione asked with some uncertainty, it turns out that wizards' discrimination is not all about being cautious, not all about persecution of the weak.

As if he could hear Hermione's thoughts, George continued, "The wizards' discrimination against Muggles and half-bloods is not all about being cautious, not all about the persecution of the weak, but more about the inheritance of the ages. At that time, wizards were indeed more like demigods than mortals. ”
