Chapter 166: The Punishment of the House-Elves

Hearing the news that he couldn't go back, Rove didn't lose his temper or act aggressively, just silence and silence.

In fact, he had already been mentally prepared.

Using a time turner, Eloise Mintab, trapped in 1402 for five days, physically aged five centuries when she returned to her time, eventually dying at St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries.

Eloise Mintab, and Rove will certainly be no exception.

He was just a fluke, always thinking that Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw might have a solution, but now that expectation ...... All fell short.

Rove sighed, no longer in the mood for small talk, he took the initiative to end the conversation and left the Ravenclaw office.

Hufflepuff quickly followed, and she pulled Rove on a tour of the castle he knew all too well.

Shuttling through Hogwarts, the endless stream of students also stopped to look at Rove curiously.

It will allow Professor Hufflepuff to spare valuable time to be his own guide and accompany him around...... Who the hell is this kid?!

Such a big face!

Hufflepuff greeted the students with a gentle and kind attitude, like a loving mother, and she smiled and asked:

"Rolf, does it feel any different from your time at Hogwarts now?"

Rove had seen five wizard duels that began without saying a word, and he replied:

"It's more martial here...... In our time, it was not possible to cast spells in corridors, and it was impossible to allow duels. ”

The boy thought for a moment and added, "The magic strength of those students is also much stronger than that of my time. ”

Using the Diamond Heart Charm is enough to go to Azca's advanced class, but Hogwarts in this era is just ordinary.

But even the third and fourth graders were proficient in using the Drill Heart Spell, which was a little unusual.

Their magical talents are outstanding!

Hufflepuff narrowed his eyes and said, "Were the wizards of your time weak?" ”

"Most wizards do." Rove pointed to a young wizard who used an iron armor spell and said softly:

"Ministry of Magic...... That is, most of the officials of your current Magic Council cannot use the Iron Armor Charm as skillfully as he does. ”

This is related to the fact that the Defense Against the Dark Arts professors change every year, but it is undeniable that the overall strength of the wizards of that era is indeed not as good as it is now.

Maybe there are one or two different ones...... Such as Dumbledore, Grindelwald and Voldemort, but after all, they are only outliers.

"The power of the wizard's bloodline is really weakening." Hufflepuff sighed.

"One or two generations are not very prominent, but the time span is obvious when you put it down to a thousand years."

Rove looked at Hufflepuff and frowned, "The power of the bloodline? ”

"yes." Hufflepuff bowed slightly, and she asked:

"Rove, do you know why pure-blood wizards are keen to intermarry with similarly pure-blood wizards?"

Rove thought for a moment and said, "Pure-blood wizards believe that marrying a Muggle or Muggle-born wizard will tarnish their bloodline. ”

"So how exactly is it defiled?" Hufflepuff asked.

"I don't agree with that." Rove shook his head and said, "So, I've always felt that this statement is a fallacy and discrimination against Muggles. ”

"Rov, any kind of opinion is not groundless." Hufflepuff said softly:

This statement may be biased, but it is not entirely false...... You should know that wizards are all weak in their ability to reproduce? ”

Rove nodded, he had heard Helena say that the entire wizard race was cursed by a more powerful existence.

"Ancient pure-blood wizards have made many attempts to solve fertility problems." Hufflepuff looked into the distance, as if she was caught in a memory, and said slowly:

"They found that Muggles are as fertile as rabbits.

Some pure-blood wizards tried to intermarry Muggles, hoping to use the Muggle bloodline to break the confines of wizard breeding. ”

Hufflepuff looked at Rove's face and sighed:

"But after several generations of intermarriage, those pure-blood families unexpectedly found that the power of their own bloodline was weakening."

"How did you find that?" Rove asked curiously, "Can there be such a thing as strength and weakness?" ”

"It can't be quantified, but it can be intuitively observed." Hufflepuff said with a solemn face:

"The Parseltongue of House Slytherin; The Ravenclaw family is a natural dementor; the Gryffindor family's Disguised Magus; The Celestial Eyes owned by the Trelawney family......

These are all representations of the power brought by the bloodline, and many abilities cannot even be learned! ”

"A pure-blood wizard in Slytherin who has intermarried with Muggles, and in the third generation of the heirs, there is no such talent as the Parseltongue.

In the fourth generation, there will even be squibs. ”

Professor Hufflepuff paused:

"After a large number of intermarriages, pure-blood wizards began to reject intermarriage with Muggles in order to protect the power in their bloodlines, which gradually formed discrimination against Muggles and some pure-blood superiority."

Rove couldn't help but sigh: "There is such a thing! ”

"yes." Hufflepuff was silent for a moment, then asked softly:

"If it were you, would you still be willing to intermarry Muggles after knowing that the blood of your offspring will be diluted step by step?"

Rove didn't answer directly, he just said softly:

But if you don't marry, it may not last forever...... Pure-blood wizards have a difficult breeding ability, and sooner or later the bloodline will be cut off in a certain generation. ”

"That's right." Hufflepuff laughed:

"This is a terrible conspiracy, just to weaken the entire wizarding race, slowly assimilate by Muggles, and finally perish completely."

"Who the hell did that?" Rove asked.

Hufflepuff didn't answer, she stretched and said lazily:

"Let's not talk about this for now, are you hungry, I'll take you to the kitchen to eat something."

"Professor, I'm not in the mood to eat right now." Rove shook his head.

"If you're not in the mood, you should eat something." Hufflepuff pressed Rove's shoulder and said enthusiastically:

"Delicious food always makes people happy, I cook for you myself, and most people can't eat the food I make."

The two snapped, disappeared into the endless crowd, and appeared in the kitchen in the next second.

Rove looked around and wondered, "Hasn't the Anti-Apparition Charm been cast at Hogwarts now?" ”

"Imposed." Hufflepuff smirked, "But this is the magic I learned from Addo, and I am not limited by the magic of wizards." ”

"Ado?"

"My adopted house-elf." Hufflepuff explained, "They use a different system of magic than wizards. ”

Upon hearing the movement, a group of house-elves appeared, standing in a row, all wearing the same uniform:

A tea towel with the Hogwarts crest on it.

Hufflepuff smiled, "Go and rest, I'll do it myself, I don't have to bother you." ”

"Yes, Professor Hufflepuff." The group of house-elves bowed respectfully and quickly left.

"These house-elves are all abandoned, most of them are defective, and no other wizarding family wants to adopt them, so I adopted them at Hogwarts."

Hufflepuff sat on a chair, she looked at the boy's side face and asked, "

"Rov, after a thousand years, are the poor fellows getting better?"

"Nope." Rove shook his head and said, "They are still slaves to wizards. ”

"Is that so?" Hufflepuff whispered with some disappointment:

"After so many years of punishment, I think it's enough, but I didn't expect that nothing has changed."

Rove raised an eyebrow and asked:

"What punishment?"
