Chapter 167: The Wizard's Doomsday Catastrophe
House-elves are undoubtedly useful as slaves.
They have a long lifespan, with an average age of 200 years old, and are more durable than their owners, perfectly realizing the feeding concept of "one pet is passed on to three generations, and people are still there".
House-elves are also very powerful, with their own unique magic system, and can even cast spells without a wand.
The most important thing is that the house-elves are loyal, and they do not hesitate to beat, scold, abuse, or even let them commit suicide...... It's as if there is a steel seal of thought.
Even Voldemort's Death Eaters who trained him so hard would not have been able to achieve this effect.
If the Dark Lord had recruited a group of house-elves as his younger brothers, he would have been resurrected long ago.
So here's the problem...... How did the wizard manage to make such a powerful race a slave and still be so loyal in the first place?
Listening to Hufflepuff's words, there seems to be a hidden secret.
Standing in front of the fire, Hufflepuff waved his wand and quickly processed the ingredients, and whispered:
"Speaking of house-elves, we have to mention the ancient wizard realm with a brilliant civilization, powerful magic, and great skills......"
Rodf had heard the phrase "wizarding realm" more than once, but neither Nicol Lemay nor Dumbledore knew anything about it.
In Nicol's words, most of the ruins left behind by the wizarding kingdom have been excavated by the Big Four and taken away important things, and it will be difficult for future generations to study them systematically.
Now that Rove finally saw the real person, his eyes flashed, and he hurriedly asked:
"Professor Hufflepuff, how did that wizarding realm disappear?"
"An apocalypse." Hufflepuff's face was solemn, and he said slowly: "That terrible catastrophe almost sank the entire continent and directly destroyed that wizarding realm. ”
She stretched out her green fingers, snapped her fingers slightly, and a painting floated over, and the young man looked up carefully:
A flickering flock of flames, dragging a long tail of fire, shot into the ground in a parabola, and the land was torn apart and turned into a scorched earth, and the burning smoke stained the morning sky gray......
Hufflepuff stared at the painting as if to say to himself:
"This painting depicts the apocalyptic apocalypse, which my ancestors painted through memories and passed down to me from generation to generation."
"After that apocalyptic catastrophe, the entire magical civilization disappeared completely, and the shattered continents also collapsed all over the world like meteors, and even some ruins sank into the depths of the sea."
"I, Ravenclaw, Gryffindor, and Slytherin, have been digging around the ruins over the years, and have collected a lot of valuable things."
A small gold cup appeared in Hufflepuff's hand, and she handed it to Rove, and said softly:
"This golden cup is a magical item made in that wizarding realm, it can never hold enough water, and the process of making it will be lost long before the end comes."
Rove looked at the famous Hufflepuff Gold Cup, and he suddenly remembered Nicol Lemay's alchemy.
The sorcerer, who called himself Abraham, gave a dream to Nicol Lemay that the four prophecies would lead a teenager to find the relics collected by the Big Four.
"Professor, what is the Doomsday Havoc?" Rove asked curiously, "Natural disaster or man-made?" ”
Hufflepuff shook his head and said:
"Rove, I don't know what the Doomsday Havoc is or how it came about."
"For thousands of years, many wizards have speculated about this.
But it is getting farther and farther away from that era, and year after year, the mud and sand are falling, and occasionally a little truth comes to the surface, but it is also quickly drowned in it, and finally it is regarded as a fallacy.
In short, the truth is right in front of you...... I'm afraid no one knows. ”
Rove sighed and said, "It's a pity that the ancient wizards created such a glorious civilization, and there is no left. ”
"Wrong." Hufflepuff shook his head and said, "Fortunately, it's ruined, so you and I can only stand here and talk now." ”
Rove looked at Hufflepuff in bewilderment, she smiled, and explained:
"That ancient wizard kingdom was not founded by our ancestors. Our ancestors, who were not yet sorcerers, were just poor slaves...... Just like the house-elves now. ”
Rove was stunned.
"The rulers of that kingdom, they are the real wizards, so to speak...... God and Creator! Hufflepuff said with a serious look:
"That group of wizards is scarce in number, but they have a long lifespan, they barely age, they rule the world, and they are the source of all magical power."
"Over the years, they have used their powerful bloodlines to combine with the animals of the earth to create many magical creatures that they will keep as livestock in captivity.
The sorcerers also produced many slaves to assist them in their work. ”
"The giants were the first slaves, and they were so powerful that they could carry things and build magnificent palaces, but they were too stupid;
The goblins are the second group of slaves, they are clever, but too cunning and greedy;
The horses are the third group of slaves and good mounts, but they are always obsessed with the sky and the stars. ”
Hufflepuff brushed his sideburns and continued to whisper:
"Those wizards later made many slaves, but they all had their own flaws.
They eventually combined their bloodlines with early Muggles that were still in the Stone Age to create our ancestors. ”
"The ancient wizards were satisfied, but they slowly discovered that this new group of slaves had a free heart and tried to rebel against their rule."
Then, they learned their lesson and made the most perfect slave house-elf, powerful and obedient.
They wanted to erase our ancestors, but the apocalypse came. ”
"How did our ancestors survive the apocalypse?" Rove curious.
"The savior has appeared." Hufflepuff said with a solemn face:
"He withstood meteorites, blessed the whole race, and taught many magic...... The Savior also built a great ship that would carry all the people across the sea to the Fertile Crescent, the Mesopotamian region of the Valley of the Two Rivers. ”
"That group of survivors came together and founded the early nation...... Elidu, Kish, Lagersh, Uruk, your, and Nipur...... They were the first purebloods. ”
Rove listened quietly, eyes fixed on Hufflepuff.
"In the same way, after the apocalypse, not all ancient wizards died, some survived, they were seriously injured, but they still wanted to continue to enslave our ancestors."
"But the ancestors could no longer stand this life after the hardships of being slaves, and they united intelligent creatures such as giants, elves, and centaurs to form an alliance to fight the mortally wounded ancient wizards."
Hufflepuff said in a hoarse voice:
"In the end, the once high master was reduced to a pile of severed limbs in the mud.
Our ancestors have also changed from slaves to the new masters of this world, and have inherited the title of 'wizard'. ”
"Those house-elves, because they helped those ancient wizards, became our slaves as punishment."
Rove slowly digested this information, he thought for a long time, and slowly asked:
"Those ancient wizards back then, are they all dead?"
Hufflepuff lost her mind slightly, but after a moment she came back to her senses, and she smiled:
"Great question."
