Chapter 128 The History of the Wizarding World
George's expression was a little weird, and he said slowly, "It's not so much avoidance, it's discrimination and self-isolation."
Harry and Ron were also puzzled by the history of wizards avoiding Muggles. Upon hearing George's statement, they immediately leaned forward and listened more intently.
George’s face was a bit weird, and he didn’t seem to know how to explain it, but he quickly started to say, “I told you that the basic education in the wizarding world is not good. Many wizards have poor logic and mathematics, so don’t worry. Learning is not better than others."
Harry and Hermione nodded. George had encouraged them on the train at the beginning of the first grade. After that, their situation also confirmed George's statement.
"We have all good grades, much better than students from other wizard families." Hermione said confidently.
Their grades are more than good, and their grades are ranked in the forefront of the whole grade. Although there are not many people in a grade, Hermione might even get the first place in every subject if it weren't overtaken by George.
Harry and Ron are not as good as Hermione, but their homework is also excellent and occasionally perfect. Their results are better than those of Malfoy who came from a big family.
"But in fact, this statement is very unfair. The wizarding world has only lost to the world of ordinary people in the last 100 years. ②Chang ② Feng ② Wen ② Learning, ww▽wc≤fwx.n↑et. Previous wizards The world is the existence that the real world looks up to." In order to comfort Harry and Hermione, George once said bad things about the wizarding world education, but in fact this kind of comparison is unfair, it depends on when it is compared.
"In other words, the previous wizarding world was much more advanced and more powerful than the ordinary world." Hermione followed George's thoughts and began to associate.
I got it more than a thousand years ago, when England had just been unified and was in the Anglo-Saxon era. Later, it was William, Duke of Normandy, who crossed the sea to conquer England and establish the Normandy Dynasty. He is known as "William the Conqueror" by history.
"It's too advanced. You know, ordinary people at that time didn't take a bath, brush their teeth, or wash their hair." George gave a vivid example. "The oil on their heads is more than Snape. It's a lot, and the hair is dirtier than Snape."
"Hmm!" Hermione looked disgusted.
Speaking of Snape's hair, Harry and Ron also felt a little sick. He couldn't wash his hair more. It would be great to learn from Lockhart.
"This is only the smallest aspect. In that era, the infant mortality rate was as high as 30% or more. Even the nobles at that time had an average life expectancy of less than 40."
"In a hundred people, less than one can read, and most nobles are also illiterate. Few children can go to school."
Give an example of not washing your hair, bathing, or brushing your teeth. But after all, it is just a small section. The real big life, big to life and death, really reveals the terrible scene in ancient times.
"It's terrible." Harry and the others were frightened by people's lives in ancient times. The ancient times were not idyllic, small rural buildings, it was really backward, really poor, and really dirty.
"At that time, the wizarding world already had gender equality and knowledge education. At that time, the wizarding world was incredibly ahead of the ordinary world."
George thought of the wizarding world at the time, and he also found it incredible. The wizarding world at that time was like modern people traveling through the past. Their lives and abilities were completely ahead of the entire world.
"The world of ordinary people at the time was too backward." Hermione couldn't help but said.
Even if she comes from the world of ordinary people, but thinking of that era of wild and backwardness, the average life expectancy of ordinary people is less than 40, and the child mortality rate is close to half. She must also admit that the world of ordinary people at that time is too backward, far behind. Wizarding world.
"It is precisely because of these that the average life expectancy is less than 40, which is close to half of the infant mortality rate. Most of the time, the literacy rate is less than 1%, endless wars and killings, endless deaths and backwardness." George In a calm tone, he said casually.
Harry, Ron, and Hermione all looked a little listless, thinking of that era, apart from being discouraged, they could only feel sad.
"The wizards in those days were like modern people who went to the primitive tribes of Africa. They were incompatible with the whole world. They hated this world, and they didn't look at it." George's tone was a little ethereal, as if he had also experienced the wizards' Situation and mood.
Harry, Ron, and Hermione were all brought into that era by George's voice.
On one side is a primitive and savage ordinary person, short and thin, and his body that has not been washed for many years emits a strong smell. A mouth is a breath of smoke, a mouthful of yellow teeth, a mouth full of vulgarity.
They are crude and crazy, they don't know about life or death, and they can fight for the honor of a word. You can also sell everything for the benefit of a piece of land.
They can both value righteousness and despise life and death, or they can value profit and depart from separation.
They are dying, madly indulging, afraid of everything, and eager to conquer everything.
On the other side is a wise and arrogant wizard, tall, handsome, and meticulous in every stitch.
They talked full of economy, poetry and curse. There are no taboos to enter and exit from high altitudes. Contacts are strong and wise, no weak.
They are rational and arrogant, think they are not mortals, they seek strength and despise the weak.
They can face the crazy and elegant retreat of the weak, but their reason and tolerance are more like fear of getting dirty stuff. They will never treat ordinary people as similar creatures They value power, they value Knowledge, they know that men and women are equal, they know that they help each other, but these are always limited to the same kind they recognize. For creatures other than the same kind, they are all classified as "dirty things."
"It's difficult for such a group to come together." Hermione thought for a while, wondering whether it was the wise and arrogant wizard to accommodate ordinary people, or the weak and diverse ordinary people to worship the wizard.
"Wizards hate this world, wizards despise this world, they also despise it, and also discriminate against all ordinary people in this world." George's voice returned to the ground from high above, revealing solemn pressure .
"This is the reason why pure-blood wizards discriminate against Muggles and mixed blood?" Hermione asked with some uncertainty. It turned out that the discrimination of wizards was not all about being careful, not all about persecuting the weak.
George seemed to hear the thoughts in Hermione's heart, and went on to say, "Wizards' discrimination against Muggles and mixed blood is not all about being careful, not all about persecuting the weak, but more about the heritage of the times. The wizards at that time were more Mortals are indeed more like demigods."
