Raven's Claw at Hogwarts - Chapter 597
c595 secrets of the world
Then the white-bearded wizard explained a lot to Mike about the mysterious containment objects.
Some of the content opened Mike’s eyes and deepened his understanding of the world.
In ancient times, the world was still in a period of fantasy. At that time, the rulers of the world were not humans, nor ancient behemoths such as dinosaurs, but intelligent creatures who had mastered various extraordinary powers. They, such as goblins, elves and titans.
In the eyes of these ancient extraordinary creatures, humans at that time were just slightly smarter monkeys, not worth mentioning at all.
The only use of humans in their eyes is to kill indiscriminately to add some fun to their boring lives.
Yes, that’s right.
At that time, humans were not even qualified to be their food. After all, humans were too small, had no magic power in their bodies, and had no nutrition at all.
Originally, garbage creatures like humans should have become extinct soon like countless unfortunate creatures in history. But fortunately, the elves have developed another role of humans, which is to create and construct.
Since then, humans have been taken as slaves by the elves, who built them magnificent palaces, gorgeous tableware, or beautiful ornaments, while the elves provide humans with shelter from the invasion of other supernatural creatures.
This seems pretty good, but in fact human life is far from that good.
You must know that the elves here are not the long-eared, handsome and perfect creatures in traditional fantasy stories. They are more like elemental creatures. Their bodies are covered with traces of elements such as electricity, rocks, and flames. In addition to having a human body Humanoids have nothing in common with humans.
And their attitude towards human beings is not good. This can be seen by looking at modern history. How good can a cotton farmer in the southern United States treat his black slaves?
Theoretically speaking, under this kind of rule humans should soon become as humble creatures as house elves.
But then an accident happened. A group of strong men and women suddenly appeared in the human race. By mating with extraordinary creatures such as elves, goblins and even giants, their offspring gained some ability to control magic.
At the beginning, other extraordinary creatures didn’t think it was anything. After all, although humans have mastered magic, the concentration of magic in their bodies is too low. At best, they can only shoot fireballs and do some magic tricks, and compete with other races. The level of being able to master a large number of talent spells as soon as one reaches adulthood is too far.
But soon, things started to change.
Human fertility is so strong!
The seeds of magic soon spread among the human race, and more and more humans with magic appeared. In addition, other extraordinary creatures were also constantly at war with each other, so the first human rebellion began.
Under the leadership of countless fierce men and women descended from the sky, mankind declared its independence.
But due to long-term slave work, they have no life skills. In addition, the environment at that time was too harsh, and the living conditions and situation of humans were worse than when they were slaves to the elves.
Then, Lady Luck kissed the human forehead again.
A mysterious being that cannot be described in words appeared in front of humans and began to teach humans occult knowledge.
With the help of the knowledge imparted by this mysterious existence, humans developed the prototype of magic spells, greatly improved the efficiency of using magic power, and gradually established a firm foothold in ancient times.
He is the first known mysterious creature in human history – the saint Ouranos.
The reason why wizards also celebrate Christmas is officially to commemorate this great saint (although no one knows whether he is human or not).
Then human beings developed slowly, and under the guidance of the saint Ouranos, they searched for other mysterious objects, and finally found the Book of Truth, which is said to record all the truths in the world.
Humanity paid tribute to the sage Ouranos with the Book of Truth, and the latter quickly disappeared with the Book of Truth. However, before the sage Ouranos left, humans still obtained the last piece of control over the world from him. Puzzle – Magic Wand!
What happened next was going to be much smoother. Humanity began to frantically extract resources from the world to make wands, and then used wands and other collected mysterious objects to eliminate many elves, Titans, and other strong threats to them. race, and finally took over the world.
It can be said that the rise of wizards and even humans is completely based on mysterious objects.
Nowadays, the reason why the existence of mysterious objects is not known to the general public and other creatures is entirely because of the knowledge blockade of wizards. After understanding the power of mysterious objects, wizards simply do not allow other creatures to contact them to prevent themselves. Embark on the path of the ancient elves.
In addition, this world is originally a fantasy world.
Ordinary people and other intelligent creatures do not understand the existence of mysterious objects, and even if they come into contact with mysterious objects by chance, they will think that it is just an ordinary magic item.
After listening to the white-bearded wizard’s story, Mike couldn’t calm down for a long time.
He really didn’t expect that the wizarding world had such a hidden past.
Looking at Mike’s appearance, the white-bearded wizard also smiled softly and continued:
“Actually, you don’t need to pay too much attention to these things. Mysterious objects are not as scary as you think. They are actually very common. For example, the elder wand you are holding is a mysterious object, but it can be properly treated. It’s just a mysterious thing used.”
Hearing this, Mike suddenly raised his head, his eyes focused and he said:
“So the Three Deathly Hallows are also mysterious objects?”
“Of course.” He spread his hands and said with a smile, “Times are constantly developing. Things like the Three Holy Artifacts of Death cannot even be made with our current level of alchemy. How could it be possible in ancient times? Come out?”
Mike’s brows knitted together.
The words of the white-bearded wizard once again reminded him of what Zhou Hong once told him about the warnings about the ancient gods.
Mike originally thought that was nonsense. After all, with the wizards’ level of occult knowledge, they simply couldn’t summon any ancient gods.
But now he thinks so.
There are mysterious things in this world!
There are things that cannot be understood by common sense. Ancient gods and the like may actually be summoned!
After swallowing, Mike raised his head again and asked tentatively:
“Then do you know what will happen after the Three Deathly Hallows are gathered?”
Hearing this, all the ministers of magic looked at each other, and finally the white-bearded wizard spoke:
“Nothing will happen. If you think about it, you should be able to know that these three things were discovered by the Peverell family. If the three holy artifacts of death are really gathered together as in the legend, death can be defeated. Then how could the Peverell family possibly decline?”
Mike nodded and felt reassured, because this was indeed the truth.
When the white-bearded wizard saw this, he looked at the sky outside, and then said quickly as if he was afraid that Mike would continue to ask questions:
“In this case, our summit today is successfully concluded. We are all busy with official business, so please go back quickly.”
After saying this, the ministers of magic from various countries around him nodded to the white-bearded wizard, and then turned into twisted afterimages and disappeared in place.
Mike had also achieved his goal, raised his wand and was about to return to the Ministry of Magic.
But as soon as he raised his wand, the white-bearded wizard’s voice rang again.
“Wait a moment, Mr. Mike Townley.”
Mike turned around and saw the white-bearded wizard approaching and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear:
“Sir, now that everyone else has left, there is one thing I need to tell you.”
Mike didn’t reply, he just raised his chin to signal the other party to speak.
The white-bearded wizard was not displeased at all when he saw this, but a smile of unknown meaning flashed across his face and continued:
“As for the promise not to implement egalitarianism, I won’t say more here. I believe that with your wisdom, you should know what to do. What I want to say is about the mysterious object. The existence of the mysterious object is related to the entire wizard For the stability of the world, it is the duty of every Ministry of Magic to protect this secret. I hope you can keep the secrets well and take good care of the mysterious objects kept in the Ministry of Magic of the United States.
This is my sincere request, but you can also read it as a warning. Since ancient times, those who violate this rule will be severely punished, even legendary wizards are no exception. ”
“Oh, is it so?”
Mike said word by word, his eyes gradually becoming dangerous.
But the white-bearded wizard in front of him was not afraid at all. Instead, he grinned and said:
“What exactly do you think Grindelwald was imprisoned for?”
“You mean?”
“I have said that the secrets of mysterious objects must not be touched by others.” The white-bearded wizard continued, “On the surface, it seems that Grindelwald was imprisoned because he wanted to break the law of secrecy, but in fact, anyone who breaks the law of secrecy The seriousness is far less serious than you think, after all, it can still be made up for. What really made him fall into the abyss was precisely because of his obsession with exploring mysterious objects!
Grindelwald and Dumbledore, two talented young men, developed a strong interest in mysterious objects represented by the Deathly Hallows. This is not surprising at all. After all, we are young people, and it is a good thing to have an inquiring mind. But the bad thing is that they are still not satisfied after obtaining the Deathly Hallows, and seem to want to continue to explore deeper secrets. This is a bit ominous.
We are the watchmen of this world. We have been guarding this world for countless years. It can be said that the reason why the world can maintain peace now is entirely due to us. So we took action.
I’m not afraid to let you know that the sudden explosion of Obscurus in Dumbledore’s sister was entirely caused by us. With our push, Dumbledore decisively gave up the search for mysterious objects. Grindelwald’s defeat was also secretly manipulated by us. Otherwise, wouldn’t you really think that Dumbledore and the Hogwarts principal alone could defeat the powerful Grindelwald? ”
As he spoke, the smile on the white-bearded wizard’s face gradually became sarcastic. He shook his head and said with a smile:
“I have to say that Grindelwald does have some talent in magic, but he is so stupid. So stupid that he can’t see through the nature of the world. In comparison, Dumbledore is so stupid. Much smarter. In fact, he already knew the truth about the death of his family, but he did not take any revenge. Because he knew very well that what we did was right and we were the just party. And what he did All you can bring to this world is destruction and…”
“boom!”
Before the white-bearded wizard finished speaking, a ball of flames spurted out from Mike’s body, and along with a burst of explosions, the void-like flames swept through the entire palace.
In this illusory flame, Mike stood with a ferocious expression.
Although Dumbledore did die at his hands, this did not affect his continued respect for Dumbledore. Now that he heard such insulting words, he could not help but feel angry inside.
However, the white-bearded wizard was not burned to ashes by the cursed flames as he expected.
There was a sudden violent fluctuation in the air in the flames, and the illusory figure of the white-bearded wizard appeared in front of Mike’s eyes again.
He smiled and shook his head and said:
“It’s useless, Lord Tangli, my true body is not here.”
“boom!”
The flame exploded again, and Mike didn’t have any desire to listen to him continue, so the flame he released this time was an energy flame composed entirely of the power of the curse.
But the powerful power of the curse penetrated the figure of the white-bearded wizard without any hindrance, causing the figure to tremble non-stop, as if the white-bearded wizard standing in front of Mike at this moment was just a cruel weapon. Just a shadow.
Upon seeing this, Mike immediately understood that the other party must have used a mysterious projection object!
Mike’s expression suddenly became solemn. The abilities of mysterious objects are all kinds of strange, and some can even violate the rules of the world. If the other party really has that kind of mysterious object, then he may really be in danger!
When the white-bearded wizard saw Mike’s change again, he stopped smiling, returned to his original sincere expression and said:
“Sir Tangli, I don’t mean to be hostile to you. In fact, we are actually on the same team. This can be seen from the fact that I told you all this. Having said so much, it is time for me to Goodbye, I believe you know what to do.”
After saying that, the white-bearded wizard looked for Mike’s hand, and then quickly disappeared into the flames.
After confirming that he had left, Mike looked ugly and withdrew the flames. At this moment, the palace on the sea had been burned to death by the cursed flames. He stood alone on the sea, looking at the sun falling into the sea in the distance and the setting sun. On the red sea surface, Mike’s hands were tightly clasped together.
