Chapter 300 298 The Witch Hunt Launched by the Wizard

Chapter 300 298. Witch hunting campaign launched by wizards

It turns out that Jon's face is getting thicker and thicker.

He once showed some shameful expressions when he proposed a "win-win" plan with Grindelwald and Dumbledore in Grindelwald's principal's room.

But now that he had stolen something from someone else's house, and was boasted by the owner of the thing, whether sincerely or sarcastically, he could remain calm and clear his throat as if nothing had happened.

"Well, Mr. Slytherin, does the fact that I can come through this door mean anything special?"

Slytherin's face was calm, and even Jon felt that it was actually an unknown indifference.

The co-founder of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry said expressionlessly.

"This only proves that idiot Godric is wrong. The choice he thinks I make about my students is not what I want at all."

Jon's heart suddenly sank slightly when he heard Slytherin's words.

The words of this portrait old man were obviously not friendly, and Jon could actually think of the reason for being unfriendly very straightforwardly.

Salazar Slytherin, who once fell out with his best friend over bloodline issues and left the magic school he founded without saying a word, hated Muggle students.

Even if he could push open the bronze door and walk in front of him with the so-called character issues necessary for Slytherin, he still wouldn't be able to gain his approval.

Jon was mentally prepared for this in advance, but he thought that because he could open the door and walk in, this old guy would give him some face. However, looking at the current situation, he was just a portrait. If it were a real person, he might not be able to do anything to Jon.

But even though he had felt Slytherin's rejection and hostility, Jon had no intention of ending the conversation just like that.

And because there is no possibility for the two parties to get along harmoniously, he has no psychological burden on stealing the candlestick.

"Then the person you really recognize is a descendant of your own blood who came here more than ten years ago?"

Jon shrugged, asked the question unabashedly, and said uncertainly in a pretending doubtful tone.

"But according to the rumors I heard that are not true or false, it seems that your descendant is not pure blood? Has he ever told you that his real surname is Riddle?"

Even Slytherin showed his dislike for Jon, and he didn't seem to want to keep silent.

After all, as a portrait that is hidden in a secret room, he may have few opportunities to communicate with others. Even if he doesn't like it, Jon is at least a person who can talk.

"That was an ignorant mistake made by his mother, and it has nothing to do with him. I never think that noble blood can be diluted by other things. In other words, I don't actually think that people with the so-called pure-blood wizard blood are better than those without. How much better can a person with such a bloodline really be?”

Slytherin did not seem to be irritated by Jon's words, nor did he feel any dissatisfaction or provocation. Instead, there was a touch of sarcasm in his words, which seemed to be a mockery of Jon's ignorance.

"The reason why I have always firmly believed that only pure-blooded children are qualified to learn magic is not because I agree that people with pure blood will be better, but because only children born by wizards are worthy of the trust of the wizarding community. Yes, and Ma Zhong. Well, history has proved that even if they learn magic, this group of people will never be able to get rid of their ordinary bad roots. "

There was obvious disdain in his words, and it didn't seem like he was explaining anything to Jon. He was just answering Jon's rhetorical question about Voldemort's impure bloodline.

Jon frowned, not that he was offended by Slytherin's contempt.

No matter how petty he was, he was not at the point where he would compete with a portrait, but he heard something weird from Slytherin's words.

Jon asked calmly and sincerely, asking for advice.

"What are the bad qualities of ordinary people?"

"What are the bad qualities of ordinary people?" Slytherin looked at Jon with a cold smile on his face, "If you are a hemp, you should know this better than anyone else now, right? These people are born from ignorance. What will happen to children from ordinary families who are qualified to learn magic, even if they successfully master magic?"

Jon's frown deepened, and he felt as if he couldn't keep up with Slytherin's brain.

"Is there any difference between these people learning magic and people from wizarding families learning magic?"

"Children from wizarding families will always recognize themselves as wizards." Slytherin said coldly, "But hemps are different. Even if you learn magic, you will rarely regard yourself as a kindred spirit. Compared with magic, you are more inclined to use this method to return to the world of ordinary people to gain noble status and wealth for yourself, and you can even kill people like you for this."

"Idiots like Godric have never thought about these issues. He and the two women have always believed that as long as the magic school is established and these children are given a good enough education, the emergence of Obscurus can be avoided and magic can become a piece of cake. Prosperous. But they have never seen the real reason for the so-called obscurity."

"Children with talents are persecuted and suppress their magic power, which leads to extremely negative emotions that erode their power and turn them into terrifying monsters. The root of the problem has never been that these children have no way to control their own power. Even if there is no one to guide them, as long as they are not persecuted, they can continue to grow healthily and become ordinary people with some special abilities."

"The fundamental reason for the appearance of silence is just because of the oppression of those ignorant idiots, but a group of mortals who can only wield iron swords and shields, how can they have the ability to persecute a group of wizards with wands who can use magic, and those children who already have preliminary magical talents?"

Slytherin stared at Jon's eyes, and the mockery in his turbid pupils was already overflowing.

"Isn't it you punks who have learned magic?"

Jon has never listened so seriously to a portrait's speech at this moment, even if the original intention of this portrait is to deny him and the group of people he represents.

"The bad roots of the Muggles have prevented them from ever considering themselves part of the wizarding world. Before Hogwarts was founded, most of the Muggles who met kind wizards, learned real magic, and were able to control their own magic eventually turned to their so-called kings and churches."

"There was never even a tradition of wizards believing in religion. As we have mastered extraordinary powers, how can we believe in some incomprehensible God? These are the customs of the Muggles. Some of them became court wizards (Jon looked at Nick on his back when he said this), and some turned into loyal believers of the church. In order to gain more power and wealth, and to suppress those wizards who might threaten their current status in the future after they were in high positions, the Muggles instigated those ignorant ordinary people, prompting and helping them to launch the so-called "witch hunt."

Jon's face was full of disbelief. He stared at Slytherin in the portrait. For the first time, he heard the truth about the witch hunt in the Middle Ages from a wizard of that era!

"Foolish mortals have no chance of dealing with wizards. The fire they use to burn witches is not even a joke to real wizards. But why did so many wizards die in such a long time in this turmoil that should not have happened? It's you, Muggles. You have mastered the magic that belongs to wizards, but you use this ability to deal with wizards. In that dark era, everything was rooted in your greed." "The fundamental reason why Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry was originally established was to eliminate such chaos, but Godric and his idiots always insisted that as long as the young Muggles with magical talents were brought to this school for teaching, things would change." "There is no more foolish idea than this. Even if they extend the school system of Hogwarts to seven years and let all students board and stay in school except for holidays, the students who have entered school at the age of 11 have already had a clear understanding and intention of the dirty world before coming to Hogwarts." "Godric and his classmates tried to use The friendship between the Muggles naively believed that as long as all people of different blood lived together in a school for seven years, they would regard wizards as their true identity after graduation. Haha, I can never accept their ridiculous fantasy. "

"The bad roots of the Muggles will not be changed. Campus life at Hogwarts may have an effect on a small number of people, but most people will return to their own world after graduation without constraints, continue to become guests of the king for power, loyal believers of the church, and then launch witch hunts. "

"I can't watch Muggles like you study in that castle every day. The more outstanding and talented they are, the greater the harm in the future. Every time they learn a kind of magic, I seem to see a wizard in the future who will fall under this spell. But I can't stop the three people who built Hogwarts with me, so I chose to leave. Even if there is no way to change that school, I will not let the knowledge I teach fall into the hands of such people. "

Jon listened to Slytherin's story and was silent.

His behavior of discriminating against Muggles is fundamentally different from those led by Voldemort. This is not for his own benefit. If what Slytherin said is all true, then he is actually on the side of justice.

Later facts proved that his inference was not wrong. After the establishment of Hogwarts, although the living environment of wizards was greatly affected, the witch hunting movement was not fundamentally stopped.

It was not until the "Statute of Secrecy" was implemented all over the world that the channels for the normal world to contact wizards and magic were completely cut off, and the living conditions faced by wizards were truly improved.

The two groups have completely become people in parallel worlds without any intersection. Except for the current Muggle head of state and Muggle families with wizards, all Muggle memories of knowing the real existence of magic will be cleared.

The implementation of the Statute of Secrecy has completely changed the situation that wizards used to face. It is precisely because of this that the magic governments around the world will do their best to stabilize this law. Once someone like Grindelwald appears and tries to completely subvert this protection, he will be hostile to everyone.

In contrast, Voldemort, who is more cruel, will not encounter so much resistance, because he has never publicly expressed his abolition and dissatisfaction with the Statute of Secrecy, which gives other magic governments ambiguous reasons.

But today is the first time that Jon has heard the true inside story of the witch hunt. There has never been any record of this in the history of magic. Only when he was lurking in Hogwarts Castle and reading the history of "Mudbloods", there was a lot of relevant content about the ancient Muggle wizards and Muggles brutally killing pure blood and half-bloods.

But Jon had always thought that these things were fabricated by Voldemort, but he didn't expect them to be true!

Slytherin had no reason to lie to Jon, and only this explanation could explain why the wizards who had mastered such powerful magic at that time were persecuted and became mice hiding in the witch hunt.

Only when the Muggles, who were also wizards, had a huge number of similar united bases, could they cause such a tragic suppression of the magic world.

And before the establishment of the magic school, this was completely possible.

At that time, there was no constraint of the "Statute of Secrecy". After learning magic, the Muggles who showed magical talents would definitely use this ability to gain benefits for themselves.

All of this became reasonable, which is why most people in the Middle Ages believed in the existence of wizards, because the people who launched the witch hunt were wizards themselves!

Even Nick on Jon's back now is the best proof. Nick was a court wizard and a courtier in the palace of King Henry VII. This was the result of his seven years of study in the school after Hogwarts had been established for hundreds of years at the end of the fifteenth century.

Slytherin's hatred of Muggles has its reasons, and even excluding people of non-wizard blood from entering the academy he founded is justified.

But this limited his cognition in that era, and the situation now is completely the opposite.

Jon heard something strange in his words. If Voldemort had come here more than ten years ago and met his ancestors once, what would he say to Slytherin?

Would he tell Slytherin the truth about what he was doing and the current situation in the wizarding world?

The witch hunt was initiated by ancient Muggles wizards. This is my second setting. Only in this way can it be explained a little more reasonably why wizards who know all kinds of spells would be persecuted like this in the Middle Ages when they were so ignorant and the means of war were so underground, and why Slytherin insisted on recruiting only pure-blood students.

If you have any questions or disagree with this explanation, you can give your opinions at will, but please don't spray me.
