Chapter 129 The History of Hogwarts
Chapter 129 The History of Hogwarts
In a world where nearly half of the children born cannot be supported, most people live less than 40 years, and the literacy rate is less than 1%.
Even more common people are malnourished, look bad, don't take a bath, brush their teeth, don't wash their hair, and their hygiene is even more worrying. There is a strong smell from far away, only one mouth is a smokey breath, a mouthful of yellow teeth, and a mouth full of vulgarity.
Under such circumstances, how could the arrogant and indomitable wizard who could fly away from the sky not discriminate against ordinary people. Their discrimination against Muggles is like the sun, moon, mountains and rivers, and like mountains and seas, they rely on solid ground, and they remain unchanged.
With such a social foundation, it can be said that in the first thousand years of history, from the establishment of Hogwarts until a hundred years ago. Until the flame of science is ignited in the world, until ordinary people finally get on the express train of science.
The discrimination of wizards against ordinary people can even be said to be logical and difficult to be taken lightly.
"That is, in the era when the wizards were the most powerful and the Muggles were the most backward, the wizards decided to completely separate from the Muggle world. They couldn't bear to live in such a dirty and backward Muggle world." said in a tone of voice, with a noncommittal expression on his face.
It’s hard to say whether the decisions of the wizards at that time were right or wrong. Maybe in the eyes of some people, the wizards have power, so they should transform the world, so that ordinary people can live a long, wind, literature and learning, ww△w.c≥fwx.n ￡et happy life.
But this is too much to take for granted, unless the wizards have a thorough knowledge of magic that can be industrialized.
Otherwise, even wizards have great power. But a powerful individual is just like a powerful, unreproducible machine. How useful can a single machine be without everything?
Most of the nobles at that time were illiterate, and the knowledge books of wizards could not even be popularized to ordinary people. Before the establishment of modern scientific theory and the development of productive forces to a certain extent, wizards were only a powerful weapon after all, and they simply could not use their abilities in wider places.
"The origin of Hogwarts is that wizards try to isolate the world of ordinary people." Hermione's eyes were full of incredible.
She had many ideas about why Hogwarts was established. The establishment of Hogwarts may be to pass on knowledge, it may be to pass on magic, and it may be to build alliances.
But she never thought that Hogwarts was built to separate the wizards from the whole world and to isolate the world of ordinary people.
"Hey!" Harry couldn't help but turn pale in shock. It is unimaginable and unbelievable that someone has isolated the whole world because he hates some people and hates some things.
"It's a lot of experience." Ron stared, his family was also an ancient pure-blood family that lasted for many years, but he never knew this. Not only him, he bet his parents, his ancestors didn't even know about it.
He looked at George cautiously, his eyes full of shock and admiration, "This man can only speculate to this point based on some historical records, how terrible this is. Or, he is the founder of Hogwarts. Only people who have the same idea can understand the ideas of those founders so clearly.”
"It's really a big hand." George couldn't help but admire such a big hand, and said with some fascination.
It is completely different from those who live in seclusion, and are different from those who avoid wars and disasters. The wizards at that time were incredibly powerful compared to the world of ordinary people.
If the current world, the world of ordinary people, already has the power to destroy wizards, in that ancient and wild age, wizards had the terrible power to destroy all human beings.
In that ancient and wild age, wizards were truly invincible, like gods.
Not only do they look down on Muggles, they even discriminate against Muggles, and even the whole world is discriminated against and segregated together.
They are really proud to the extreme, but also sad to the extreme.
A rational and arrogant wizard, tall, handsome, and meticulous in every stitch. Their mouths are full of lessons, poetry and spells. Entering and exiting is a high-altitude ghost, and there are no taboos. The contacts are the strong and the wise, and there is no weak or weak.
They are rational and arrogant, think they are not mortals, they seek power and despise the weak. They value power, they value knowledge, they know gender equality, they know helping each other.
But they are just out of tune with the whole world, but they are just outside the world.
The world is not theirs, and the world is not filled with their kind.
The world belongs to those they fear contamination, "dirty stuff."
The world belongs to those primitive and savage ordinary people, to those ordinary people who are short and thin, their bodies that have not been washed all the year round emit a strong smell, and their mouths are full of vulgarity.
They are vulgar and crazy, they don't know life and death, and they can fight for the honor of one sentence. You can also sell everything for the benefit of a piece of land.
They can either focus on righteousness over life and death, or they can focus on profit over parting.
They live and die, indulge in lust, fear everything, and long to conquer everything.
But such vulgar savages are all over the world, and their filth and backwardness make even wizards reluctant to stay in this world.
Wizards are terribly destructive, but incapable of changing the world, or even adapting to it.
Wizards have the terrifying power to destroy all human beings, but they have no ability to impart knowledge, no ability to let humans master magic, and no ability to create more of the same kind.
Although wizards have no ability to change the world, they are even less interested in letting this dirty and backward world change themselves.
They refused to stay with the vulgar, refused to be the gods of the vulgar, refused to show their power in the dirty and backward world, and they finally isolated the whole world.
"After the wizards isolated the whole dirty world, they began to establish the pure kingdom of wizards, which is the origin of the wizarding world and Hogwarts." George's voice was a little low.
The wizarding world begins with a good idea, but all good ideas are meaningless. The world does not run on assumptions, on good intentions. Wizards are not monsters, nor bad people, but only good intentions, only ideas, it is meaningless.
"Hogwarts was established, and the four founders recruited young people with magical potential everywhere, brought them into the castle to cultivate, and established their imagined pure country belonging to wizards."
"But soon, they had differences again. On the purity of wizards, Slytherin and several other founders had serious differences. Slytherin believed that this pure wizarding country should recruit more demanding students. He only accepts wizards from pure magical families as his kind, and he refuses to accept Muggle-born children as unreliable."
