"A very reasonable word." Nicol nodded, "So you want me to take Harley to meet my old friend too?"

It's a bit of a pity, most of my old friends are already lying in their graves, and the living ones have probably changed their state. ”

Dumbledore smiled and said, "Why can't I come to see you?"

Aren't you and Perenal two living history books, two living legends? ”

"Thank you for the compliment. It's very old-fashioned, but I'm happy. Perenal said with a smile.

Nicol helped his glasses, and Harley noticed a magical fluctuation on them:

"Albus, hearing your words, I was reminded of those things again.

Ah, it's not me boasting, my life is better than you and ...... What that kid went through was so much more exciting.

After all, my age is here. Think of the beginning, the 14th century ......"

Nicol began to babble in the old age, and Perenal added important information from time to time, reminiscing about the difficult but very good times the two spent together.

Hallie listened attentively, and was shocked from time to time.

Nicol, like himself, is a person who can't stand loneliness. He has lived for hundreds of years, dug up countless ruins, and even explored the history of the Second Age, and even knew about the existence of the ancient sun god.

Not to mention the fact that the poor ancient sun god was betrayed by six of his eight angel kings, only his two children were not betrayed.

Nicol also has a fascinating history of the wizarding world that is completely absent from the History of Magic and various other books.

For example, according to Hogwarts records, Slytherin left because of a disagreement over whether or not to accept Muggle students.

However, according to Nicol, there was a secret to Slytherin's exodus, and the subsequent departure of the other three founders from Hogwarts confirmed this view.

"The Gaunt family had several children who had not been able to make a living, and they sold a particularly valuable portrait."

Niri sat on the chaise longue, squinting and contemplating this history,

"I happened to have some spare money, not much, but enough to buy the painting.

From the mouth of that portrait, I got some very wonderful, but terrifying information.

For example, Slytherin's exodus was the discovery of a truth from 5,000 years ago and the desire to stop it.

Of course, I don't know what the truth is. After all, his destination was the door, and I didn't dare to go through it and find out.

Oh, by the way, it was five thousand years ago in Slytherin, and it should be six thousand years by now.

At that time, there were countless races with magical powers in the whole world, and all races were fighting each other.

At that time, human beings were extremely weak, but through their strong reproductive ability, and using some dishonorable means to steal the bloodline of other races, they obtained magical abilities......"

Nicol's topic kept jumping, and there were many nouns in the middle that Harley didn't understand, such as the door.

But since Nicol didn't say it, and Dumbledore and Perenarse didn't add an explanation, Harry naturally wouldn't be bored.

Besides, Nicol has a lot to say. The old man spoke very vaguely, but Harley could still hear the level of blood.

“…… In the end, humanity achieved its current position. ”

Nicol finished such a long history in one breath, and took a few sips of water from his cup.

After putting down the cup, the tea is automatically filled up again.

"Definitely. I've heard it countless times, but now that I think about it, I'm still amazed at how dark that history was. ”

Dumbledore nodded to the side, then looked at Harry, "Harry, aren't you going to ask Nicol about house-elves?" ”

"House-elves?" Nicol repeated with interest.

"Yes." Hallie nodded, and then recounted what had happened to her some time ago.

"I see." Nicol snapped his fingers, and an invisible wave of magic flashed through the room, and all sounds were cut off from it.

He glanced apologetically at Harry and Dumbledore, "I don't want those house-elves to hear about this history. ”

"In a sense, this history has made us the Lemay family." Nicol sighed and said softly,

"Do you remember what I said earlier about the oldest history of the wizarding world? At that time, countless races with magical powers or their own unique abilities fought each other.

At that time, house-elves were not called house-elves, but were called goblins.

They weren't what we now call weak, mentally retarded garden goblins, but truly powerful and intelligent creatures.

They are natural craftsmen who can craft a variety of powerful magical equipment. They even claim to have the true 'God' and believe in it.

As history progressed, goblins and wizards gradually became the only two races that remained powerful.

Others, such as merfolk, centaurs, and vampires, have all weakened with the passage of time, leaving only a small number of their clan members to survive and lose much of their abilities. ”

"And then?" Harley asked with interest.

"Then the goblins want to be the sole rulers of the wizarding world.

They want to slaughter entire wizards, extract their magic to craft magical equipment, and enslave the remaining ordinary humans.

According to my family's account, their so-called 'god' even took action himself.

However, there are also sorcerers who are called gods, and they stop the goblins.

Of course, in my opinion, the 'gods' are probably just powerful wizards and goblins.

All in all, the wizard was victorious in this battle and placed an eternal curse on the goblins.

The goblins have become house-elves that have become uglier and have lost their natural craftsman abilities.

As revenge for their delusional enslavement of humans and wizards, house-elves can only serve their masters forever and obey their masters' orders.

And my family also plundered a lot of goblin-derived technology during that time, which is why it has its current status.

I was able to make Philosopher's Stones because of the primitive accumulation that I had since then. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to collect the materials on my own. ”

Nicol whispered about that part of history, and although it was said quickly, there was blood between the lines.

It's a war between two races! Only living beings are qualified to record history!
