0157 The wisdom of the race
"Sit."
Aini patted the spot next to her and motioned for the girl to come over.
Although she had been a little distraught for a few days, Hermione would not have questioned Aini at the door of the library, and under her leadership, the two of them went to the office of the Transfiguration Professor.
That's right, it was under her leadership that Aini gave Hermione a key, and the girl would come here when she wanted to be clean, but it was rare for the Lord to come over.
"Aini, that's life after all."
Hermione said with tears in her voice, she didn't like goblins, but the girl also knew that they were thinking and intelligent creatures, and the death and injury caused by the fire dragon when it escaped was really a big shock to the little witch from the peaceful era.
What worries her the most is what kind of role Aini plays in it.
"Hermione, what do you think of creatures like elves?"
Aini took out two bottles of Lin Lu, unscrewed one and handed it to the girl.
"Greedy, mean, cunning, cruel......"
After Ainiti, Hermione went out of her way to check the relevant historical materials, and it can be said that what the goblin did was completely contrary to the girl's view of right and wrong.
Every time she spits out a trait, the girl's eyebrows stretch a little, and she inexplicably feels that maybe the goblin after being baked by the fire dragon can be regarded as a good goblin.
"Yes, you're right. Few wizards would like these creatures, but they still exist, don't you think it's strange to be the outright underdog?"
Aini followed the girl's words, there is an unexpected light in this world, and there is also no shortage of unpredictable darkness.
"Is it because of ...... Country?"
Hermione hesitated to give an answer, she hadn't really thought about it before, but she did know something about the elf system.
Although Gringotts is present in every larger wizard hub, the elves are not divided by the human realm, and are still glued together by ethnic groups.
The overall strength is naturally far inferior to that of wizards, but the goblins gathered together are enough to fight against a single wizard kingdom.
"Not really."
Ani dismisses the girl's opinion, but instead of explaining the gist to her, he talks about the composition of the goblins.
"Elves have always claimed that their magical talents are stronger than those of humans, after all, as magical creatures, elves can almost play a few small spells when they reach adulthood. Most of humanity is Muggles, and even if wizards combine with each other, it is possible to give birth to Squibs. It's amazing that some people still believe it."
Aini gave a slightly mocking smile.
"In fact, the talents of most goblins are completely incomparable to those of young wizards like you who have admission qualifications."
As Ani spoke, several icons appeared in front of the two of them.
"For example, those in Gringotts seem to be very glamorous in their financial power, but they are actually ordinary goblins at the lowest level."
Ani pointed to the pyramid-shaped elf hierarchy in the center and said with a serious face, "The elves have never really surrendered. After the last goblin rebellion, they hid the elite of their clan in the so-called Avalon to escape the revenge of the wizards, and most of the people who are active in the wizarding world are those with mediocre talents."
"Avalon?"
Hermione asked incredulously, even when she was still a Muggle, she was thunderous about the legendary sleeping place of King Arthur.
"It's just a self-professed one, those ugly dwarves have nothing to do with the beautiful witches of Celtic legends, and the Avalon they call it is not an ideal country, but a place to lick their wounds."
After hearing Ani's explanation, Hermione breathed a sigh of relief, just now she had unconsciously begun to replace the elves in the fairy tale with the image of the goblin, which was simply ruining the childhood series.
The girl didn't have the slightest idea of questioning the goblin being preparing for war. Every once in history — a few decades, at most two or three hundred years — those ugly things start a rebellion.
It was the wizard's attitude towards the goblins that made Hermione a little confused
, From the current state of three or two big cats and kittens of various races, it can be seen that wizards are not a soft-hearted group, why let them jump like this?
Thinking of this, the little witch also expressed her doubts, and this is exactly what Aini wanted to tell her.
"As early as the middle of the Dark Ages, the ancestors wanted to exterminate the elves, but the upper echelons of the elves abandoned all the ordinary people and began to attack the little wizards in pieces. Although their magic is less powerful, it is better than stealth, and humans are caught off guard and suffer heavy losses, so they have to negotiate peace......
The girl seems to have lived through those dark years with Ani's story, and if there is a slight negligence on the part of her parents, the little wizard may be attacked and killed, and even her own yard will no longer be safe.
Everyone in the wizarding world was in danger, and eventually the two sides had to sit back at the negotiating table and sign an agreement that was not peaceful.
Since then, the war between humans and goblins has been divided into victories and no longer involves the survival of the race.
"Are you going to let the murderer go unpunished?"
Hermione asked angrily, having long forgotten how entangled her heart was after hearing about the Gringotts bloodbath, and now the girl wanted to let the fire dragon eat them all.
"At that time, there was no Ministry of Magic, there were no credible laws at all, only some powerful wizards would set some rules within their sphere of influence."
Aini stretched out his hand and nodded, and the two images in front of him were glued together, a familiar castle on the left and a slowly sinking island on the right.
"Hogwarts!?"
The girl opened her mouth in surprise, and then realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly raised her hand to cover her two big teeth.
"I've seen Hogwarts, a school history, and it says that the Big Four were founded to keep Muggles out of the prying eyes and to protect wizards from persecution......
Hermione spoke very quickly about what she had read from the books, but as she spoke, the girl's words slowed down until she stopped.
"Hermione, even though you're only a second-year student now, how can Muggles persecute you?"
The girl was speechless.
Indeed, any attack without the participation of magic power is difficult to cause damage to wizards, not to mention the weapon configuration of ancient Muggles, and even today's explosives, missiles and other heavy firepower have nothing to do with wizards, this is from the gap in energy levels.
As for small-power weapons such as firearms, they don't need an iron armor charm, and they can be completely ignored with the magic of the amulet alone. It was also the fact that Muggle weapons were almost no threat to wizards, which allowed the latter to establish a huge psychological advantage over the former.
The pure-blood family has lasted for thousands of years, not by pride and conceit, but by strength and interests.
Weapons can't do them harm, and sophisticated technology products can't be used in the wizarding world, so naturally, those of the same kind who don't have magical talent have become synonymous with uselessness in the eyes of pure-blood families.
Their approach is indeed biased.
After all, in the world of magic, knowledge is power, but without power, it does not necessarily mean that the head is empty.
Aini believes that even if there is no contact with the wizarding world, with the development of technology, people will definitely grasp the power of a higher class.
He had always believed in the wisdom of the race.
