v4 Chapter 34： Historical mystery

The third week of school.

All the students in Grade 4 have noticed that the homework they have to do this semester has increased significantly. When the students complained very loudly that Professor McGonagall assigned too many homework for the transformation class, Professor McGonagall explained the reason.

"You are entering an important period of magic education!" She told them, two eyes gleaming majesticly behind Fangfang's lenses, "Your OWL exam is approaching—"

"We won't take the OWL exam until the fifth grade!" Blaise Shabini said angrily.

"Maybe so, Mr. Sabine, but believe me, you need to be fully prepared! In this class, there are always only two Mr. Malfoy who can turn a hedgehog into a satisfactory pincushion. I I should remind you that your pin cushion will still curl up with fear when someone approaches it with a needle!"

On the other hand, Professor Bins finally finished talking about the goblin rebellion and began to prepare for the fifth grade OWL exam, compiling and integrating the long history of the wizarding world.

The history of the wizarding world began in the civilization period of Ancient Egypt and Ancient Greece. This was the first time that written records of the wizarding world appeared, although most of the records have not been handed down, or not fully handed down.

Before the appearance of these two civilizations, they are collectively referred to as the prehistoric era.

These are not in the scope of the OWL exam, so I won’t mention them here.

It wasn't until the period from 500 BC to the fourth century AD that the historical system of wizards gradually matured. Historians collectively refer to this period as the "Ancient Age", which corresponds to the "Classical Age" (Age) of Muggle history.

At this time, the civilizations of ancient Egypt and ancient Greece were still glorious, and the Orivand family also officially emerged in the Mediterranean countries and founded a family of magic wands. In ancient Greece, there were the despicable Helbo, Circe, the invincible Andros, and the Prophet. The four super wizards of Poussos are admired or awed by thousands of people.

After the end of the ancient century, it was the so-called "Middle Age", which generally refers to the period from the 5th century to the 15th century.

It was especially brilliant in the tenth century. The four founders of Hogwarts, the founder of Durmstrang, Merlin, Morgan Leffe, Kleona, Morrigan, and the goblin king Ragnac I were all disturbed. The man of this era.

(Note: Kleona is an Irish female druid, seabird Animagus, discovered the use of moonflower, good at bird language and healing magic, from the chocolate frog picture)

(Note: Morrigan is the Irish witch, the crow Animagus, the ancestor of the Thayer family, also the ancestor of the founder of Iphamoni, Isolt Thayer, from Pottermore Iphamoni)

In their later next generations, there are also many famous people, such as Hanjis who founded Hogsmeade, Armand Malfoy who founded the Malfoy family, and the creator of the three gods of death. The three Peverier brothers, such as the weird Yurik who used jellyfish as a hat, and so on.

(Note: Peverier’s third granddaughter married into the Porter family in the 13th century, and the two generations were reversed. The three brothers lived in the 11th century, when they landed in Great Britain with the Malfoy family. About the same time)

The period after the Middle Ages is called "EarlyModernAge" by historians, referring to the period from the sixteenth to the eighteenth century. Nicol Lemay, Paraser, founder of Ifamoni, and Exi Si and Azkaban, Gringo and Gringa, and Silver Spear are the products of recent centuries.

After that, the history since the 19th century is collectively referred to as "Modern Age" (Modern Age).

Although Professor Bins’s lectures were still so monotonous and boring, the little wizards in the audience were drowsy, but knowing that this is about the content of the exam, many little wizards still reluctantly raised their spirits to take notes.

Xie Lin listened with gusto. For him, the understanding of magic is urgently needed, and the history of magic cannot be missed. The history of magic is an interest for him. The soul of adventurers hidden in his body, he likes to listen to ancient stories and legends the most.

Another rare thing that can resist Professor Bins’s hypnotic sounds is Murray McDoug. She sits on the left side of Schelling, taking notes intently. Sitting on Schelling's right is Daphne, who fell asleep within ten minutes of the beginning of the course.

As soon as the get out of class bell rang, the unbearable freshmen immediately walked out of the classroom. Professor Bins remained unmoved, stood quietly on the podium and watched them leave.

Xie Lin took the initiative to ask Professor Bins: "Professor, can I understand the origin of magic?"

"Oh, you can see that you are a kid who loves to learn." Professor Bins's ghostly face twitched in surprise. He was a little impressed with this young man, it seemed that he had once expressed an impressive view on the goblin rebellion, although he still didn't remember Schelling's name. "you are…"

"This is Malfoy, Professor."

"Mr. Malfoy, this question is difficult to answer. After all, the ancient history did not leave us too many written records. The wizards of that era rarely chose to be ghosts to guide future generations..."

"The more unified view is that magic originated in ancient times," Professor Bins said. "In ancient times, the world at that time was not what it is now. The landforms were desolate and the climate was harsh. Only the most powerful species could survive. The creatures surrounding the world are not our human wizards, but very powerful ancient dragons and ancient giants..."

"The exact appearance of ancient dragons and ancient giants is no longer known, but we can imagine their appearance from their descendants—that is, the remaining giant dragons and giants. They are not the same as these descendants. They have powerful bodies. It can adapt to extremely harsh environments and has the power to destroy the world. That power is the prototype of magic..."

"In the world at that time, of course there were other species, including the ancient elves, the ancestors of the elves, and the ancient elves, the ancestors of the elves, etc., but the power of these species is far less destructive than the two mentioned above. This species, coupled with many archaeological evidences show that their personalities like peace and order, dislike chaos and war, so these species choose not to escape the world. Therefore, the ancient dragon and the ancient giant two races, in order to compete for the rare in the world Resources, and started a long war..."

"After that, humans with very weak size and strength appeared. Although humans appear humble in that environment, humans have strong reproductive power and a strong will to survive. A part of ancient humans We can also regard the mutation that happened to us as the first magical riot in human history..."

"That kind of power is called the'Power of Chaos' by later generations. It is the first source of mankind's magic power. It is passed down in the blood to future generations and passed down from generation to generation to form today's various wizard families... These materials can be partly possessed. Found in the literature of the ancient family of pure-blood wizards, UU reading ... This is probably the reason why some wizards insist on the idea of ​​pure-blood supremacy."

It turns out that this is the source of the so-called bloodline power. Xie Lin, who has solved a lot of doubts, continued to ask: "Professor, you said this is the first source of mankind's magic power, so do we have other sources of magic power?"

"Yes, kid, you are right." Professor Bins was very satisfied with the attitude of the students attentively listening to the lecture, and continued to explain: "Although the power of chaos, humans still appear weak, but the amazing number of humans has arrived. The ancient dragons and ancient giants cannot be ignored, and the prolonged war has made their ethnic groups increasingly scarce. They began to recruit humans to join their camp to replace them in wars."

"In order to attract the attachment of humans, they are willing to give part of their inherent bloodline power to humans who are willing to attach to them. This is the origin of the magic of the second generation of humans-the power of the dragon and the Titan given by the two major races. Power. Generally speaking, these three magic powers have been recognized in history as the origin of all magic powers of human wizards."

Schelling nodded frequently. Professor Bins was not tired after speaking a long paragraph. He was obviously enjoying it. Of course, this also had a lot to do with his being a ghost.

"Do you understand this explanation?" Professor Bins said kindly.

"Well. Thank you for your answer, Professor Bins." Xie Lin said hurriedly.

"If you have any questions in the history of magic, please come to me again. Now such studious students are rare." Professor Bins put away the illusory textbook with satisfaction and floated out of the classroom, "See you next time, Mr. Malfoy."

Professor Bins rarely remembers the student's name, but apparently this time the consultation made him remember Schelling's name.
