It turns out that Jon's face is getting thicker and thicker.
Once in Grindelwald's principal's room, when he proposed a "win-win" plan with Grindelwald and Dumbledore, he even showed some shameful expressions.
But now that he had stolen something from someone else's house, and even after being 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 made about my students is not what I want at all."
The words of this portrait old man were obviously not friendly, and Jon could actually think of the reason for the unkindness very straightforwardly.
Salazar Slytherin, who once had a falling out with his best friend over bloodline issues and left the magic school he founded alone without saying a word, hated Muggle students extremely.
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 for stealing the candlestick.
"Then the person you really recognize came here more than ten years ago and is a descendant of your own blood?"
Jon shrugged, asked the question without any disguise, 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 what is equivalent to a secret room, he may have few opportunities to communicate with others. Even if he doesn't like it, Jon is at least someone he can talk to.
"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, or I actually don't think that people with the so-called pure-blood wizard blood are better than those without
How good 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 that only children born by wizards are worthy of the trust of the wizarding community.
Yes, and the hemp species...ah, history has proven 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 small-minded he was, he was not capable of competing 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? 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 circuit.
"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 so as to gain noble status and wealth for yourself, and you can even harm people like you for this purpose."
"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 clearly the real reason for the so-called Obscurus."
"Given children are persecuted and their magic is suppressed, resulting in extremely negative emotions that erode their power and turn them into terrifying monsters. The root of the problem has never been that these children cannot control the power they possess.
, even if no one guides them, as long as they are not persecuted, they can grow up healthily and become ordinary people with some special abilities."
"The fundamental reason for the emergence of Obscurus is just because of the oppression of those ignorant idiots. But how can a group of mortals who can only wield iron swords and shields have the ability to persecute a group of wizards who have wands and can use magic, as well as those
What about the children who have already begun to possess magical talents?"
Slytherin stared into Jon's eyes, the sarcastic expression in his cloudy pupils was beyond words.
"Aren't you hemps who have learned magic?"
Jon had never listened so carefully to what a portrait was saying at this moment, even if the original intention of the portrait was to deny him and the group of people he represented.
"The bad roots of the hemp seeds have made it impossible for them to regard themselves as a member of the wizards. Before the founding of Hogwarts, most of the hemp seeds who met well-meaning wizards and learned real magic were able to control their own magic.
In the end, they all surrendered to their so-called king and the Holy See."
"There has never been a tradition of wizards believing in religion before. As we ourselves have mastered extraordinary power, how can we believe in some unknown God? These are the customs of the Mazhong, and some of them have become court mages (
When Jon said this, he looked at Nick behind his back), and some turned into loyal believers of the church. In order to obtain higher power and wealth, and to suppress those with high positions.
The wizards and witches who may later threaten their current status have instigated those ignorant ordinary people, prompting and helping them to launch the so-called 'witch hunting movement'."
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-hunting movement in the Middle Ages from a wizard of that era!
"Foolish mortals have no chance of dealing with wizards. The so-called flames they use to burn witches to death are nothing more than a joke to real wizards. But why did they still exist for such a long time?
So many wizards died in this turmoil that should not have happened? It was you, Mazong, who mastered the magic that belonged to wizards, but you turned around and used this ability to deal with wizards. In that dark era, everything
The root cause all comes from your greed."
"The fundamental reason why Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry was originally established was to eliminate this kind of chaos, but Godric and his idiots always insisted that as long as they brought young and magically gifted bastards to this school for instruction
, then things will change.”
"There is simply no more stupid idea than this. Even if they extend the academic cycle of Hogwarts to seven years and make all students boarding, they can only stay in school except during holidays, but they are already 11 years old.
The students entering the school have already had a clear understanding and intention of the dirty world before coming to Hogwarts."
"Godric and the others tried to use the friendship between classmates to influence these idiots. They naively believed that as long as people of different origins lived together in the same school for seven years, they would regard wizards as their true identity after graduation.
.Haha, I can never accept their ridiculous fantasy."
"The evil roots of the hemp species will not be changed. Campus life at Hogwarts may have an effect on a small number of people, but the vast majority of people will still return to where they belong after they graduate and are free from restraints.
The world, continuing to fight for power, became guests of kings, loyal followers of the church, and then launched witch hunts."
"I can't watch students like you studying in that castle every day. The more outstanding and talented they are, the greater the harm will be in the future. Every time they learn a magic, I seem to see the future.
There will be a wizard who will fall under this spell. But there is no way I can stop the three people who built Hogwarts with me, so I chose to leave. Even if there is no way to make changes to that school, I
I will not let the knowledge I impart fall into the hands of such people."
Jon was speechless as he listened to Slytherin's words.
His behavior of discriminating against hemps is fundamentally different from those led by Voldemort. It is not for his own benefit. If everything Slytherin said is 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 "Law of Secrecy" was implemented around the world, completely cutting off the normal world's access to wizards and magic, that 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 the true existence of magic will be erased.
The implementation of the "Law of Secrecy" has completely changed the once extremely difficult situation for wizards. It is precisely because of this that magical governments around the world will do their best to stabilize this law. Once someone like Grindelwald appears who tries to completely subvert this protection,
People will be hostile to everyone.
In contrast, Voldemort, who has more cruel methods, will not encounter so much resistance, because he has never publicly expressed his dissatisfaction with the abolition of the "Secrecy Act", which also leaves other magical governments with ambiguity.
Clear reasons.
But today was the first time Jon heard the real inside story about the witch hunt. There has never been any record of this in the history of magic. He could only read the history of "Mudbloods" while he was lurking in Hogwarts Castle.
At that time, there was a lot of content about ancient Muggle wizards and Muggles brutally killing purebloods and mixed-bloods.
But Jon had always thought that these things were made up by Voldemort's instructions, but he didn't expect that they were all 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 turned into rats hiding in XZ during the witch hunt.
Only Muggles, who have an extremely large coalition base of wizards, can cause such a brutal suppression of the magical world.
Before the magic school was established, this was entirely possible.
At that time, there were no restrictions under the Statute of Secrecy. After Muggles who showed magical talents learned magic, their first thought was to use this ability to benefit themselves.
All of this has become reasonable, which is why the vast majority of people in the Middle Ages had no doubts about the existence of wizards, because the people who launched the witch-hunting movement were themselves wizards!
Even Nick who is now on Jon's back is the best proof. Nick was a court wizard and a courtier in the palace of King Henry VII during his lifetime. This was at the end of the fifteenth century when Hogwarts had been established for hundreds of years.
The result after he completed seven years of study in school.
Slytherin's hatred of hemps was justified, and even excluding people of non-wizard blood from entering the academy he founded was justifiable.
But this was a limitation of his cognition at that time, and the situation now is completely the opposite.
Jon could hear something strange in his words. If Voldemort had come here more than ten years ago and met his ancestor once, what would he have said to Slytherin?
Will you tell the truth about what you are doing and the current situation in the magical world?
