Chapter 141: Symposium on the History of Magic at the Dalke House (Part 2)
"Wait a minute, honey, you just said that the wizarding world was signed in 1689 and officially established in 1692?" Meryl frowned and thought, "So, it turns out they were in Stuart
The glorious revolutionary period of the dynasty goes into hiding!"
"Well, maybe? I don't know much about the history of Europe before the industrial revolution. I only have a limited understanding of things like the Viking Age, the Crusades, the Black Death, the Renaissance, the Age of Discovery, etc. As for Britain,
I'm not familiar with those dynasties at all, and I'm not even interested in them." After finishing his pudding, Hans opened a box of chocolate frogs.
"Oh~ Do you have some conceptual understanding of Britain's feudal monarchs and the like?" Iron Lady interjected and asked.
"For example, William Wallace?" Although Hans's answer was a little casual, the Iron Lady's face instantly darkened, which was enough to show the huge damage she had suffered! However, to everyone's surprise, Hans' next words were even more...
It makes their faces darker and darker! "And the first/night power in the noble fiefdom? A family hereditary disease caused by incest? Not taking a bath to prevent the Black Death, and then spraying perfume like crazy to try to cover up the body odor?"
"Stop! That's enough! Let's go back to the topic just now!" Meryl glared at the Iron Lady! "In fact, until the early sixteenth century, the aristocrats in most places in Europe were crude and ignorant, and they had nothing to do with education.
"The two words are not even close to each other, and even the most basic literacy education cannot be guaranteed. Despite this, these illiterate nobles are still highly confident and speak arrogantly from time to time.
A French aristocrat at that time once threatened: "I would rather my son be hanged than learn the alphabet." Another British aristocrat also expressed a similar view: "Only the sons of country bumpkins can read." Under this trend, the two
It is inevitable that the country's "highly illiterate" people will swarm in droves.
The situation in other countries was not much better. In 1525, 58 noble families were unfortunately destroyed in the German Peasant War. Afterwards, people searched for relics and found that only 6 families owned books.
Throughout the 16th century, with the exception of a few places such as Italy, European aristocrats were on the fringes of cultural life. Few had received a Latin education, and they were unable to participate in the then-booming Renaissance movement.
So, honey, I think it’s open to question when you say they don’t understand nobles!”
"Oh~ I see!" Hans's eyes were bright, and the funny expression on his face showed that he was as excited as if he had discovered a new world! "So these pure-blood wizards actually understand that from the Middle Ages to the Glorious Revolution
European aristocrats during this period!? After understanding the bloodline theory prevalent among European aristocrats during this period, the idea of pure blood superiority in the wizarding world was formed!?
If you look at it this way... is it not nonsense that Lucius Malfoy I pursued Elizabeth I? And Elizabeth I never entered into marriage because the frustrated Malfoy cast a curse. Is this true? "
"There is such a thing!?" Jane was shocked by Hans' revelation and turned her eyes to Dumbledore! "Oh! Damn it! Doesn't this mean that I didn't learn much European history before the 18th century at KCL?
Reliable?"
"Well... although the Malfoy family has tried its best to deny this matter many times, the British wizarding community has enough evidence to prove that Lucius Malfoy I failed in his pursuit of Elizabeth I. However, the curse is not
There is no conclusive evidence." Dumbledore was a little panicked by the curious eyes of everyone! "After all, because of the secrecy law, the historical materials with conclusive evidence of entanglements between Muggles and wizards in European Muggle history have been dealt with by wizards in every possible way.
Already."
"I feel that not only the history of Europe before the 18th century, but also the history of the first half of the 20th century is not as well understood as you think you are! Isn't it, Dumbledore?" Hans suddenly brought the topic to Old Deng, which made
He suddenly felt horrified!
"I, I don't know, you, what do you want to say? I don't, I don't quite understand what you mean, Hans!" A strong uneasiness surged into Dumbledore's heart!
"Oh! Don't worry! We're just talking about history! Maybe tell us about your family by the way? For example, Arianna who became the Obscurus?" Hans's slow and soft tone was like the Cruciatus Curse, which made Dumbledore
Lido's face was full of pain and he was sweating profusely! "Or talk about Kandra who died because of the silent explosion in Arianna's body? Or, you, your brother Aberforth and Gellert Grindelwald were in Godry
A fight broke out in the Ker Valley, resulting in Arianna’s death?”
"No!!!" As Dumbledore wailed in pain, tears fell from the corners of Dumbledore's eyes!
"Damn it! The act of exposing someone's wounds is really a bit too much--" Although Jane was very curious about Dumbledore's privacy that Hans did not explain in detail, Jane still felt that Hans should be stopped and couldn't help but open the door.
mouth!
"It's better to squeeze out the pus and blood in the scar, although after squeezing out, he will only be left with a tattered body!" Hans interrupted Jane's words coldly, and then looked directly at him with cold eyes.
Jane! "Don't start your ignorant and shallow moral judgment easily! Do you think the essence of moral judgment is altruism or self-interest? It is used to discipline yourself!
Also, don’t always impose your moral standards on me! Even if you are my mother, it does not mean that I am your property! Just rely on your understanding of the civilization, society, thought and human nature of each world, including yours.
My one-sided understanding is not enough to educate me!"
"What--" Jane started to speak with a look of disbelief, but was blocked by the meatball in Meryl's hand! "Uh? Uh! Uh!"
"Oh~~ can you please shut your mouth? Honey, we need to talk to them both. You can eat in peace first." Meryl ended the video call with a gloomy face and sighed deeply.
He took a breath and said, "When your son says something like this to you, it means that he can no longer stand you. I really admire you two and am almost in awe."
"What? Why!?" Jean looked at Meryl in confusion.
"You don't even listen to me and your father. What gives you the illusion that your son should obey you?" Meryl stared at her son with a faint gaze, "What's more..."
"Not to mention whether you, as parents, have respected your son's wishes, but as adults, you are always judging and refuting with the childish thinking of an infant, which is increasingly comparable to the mature Hans's as an adult.
Behavior?
If Hans' age prevents you from trusting his words and thoughts, then you should have some idea of his power by now, right?
Even the wizard magic that Hans and the others don't like can make ordinary people forget many people and things. I don't think Hans doesn't have similar methods!" John reached out and patted Meryl on the back, and then Meryl
Er continued, "Are you coming back just to prove that you have passed on to your son the maturity and rationality that you should have as an adult?"
"This is impossible! We are his parents!" Jane shouted in shock!
"Strange parents who have no memory at all? Parents who point fingers at him and oppose him as soon as he comes back?" The corners of Meryl's mouth twitched and she rolled her eyes, "Rome was not built in a day! Relationships cannot be cultivated in a day.
Yes! You have only been with him for just one day, and you can have him say such cruel words to you indifferently, but you didn't realize anything!?
Haha, the last person he treated like this was the ancestor of the Dahlke family - Miss Joan of Arc. In some ways, she is more like a mother to Hans than you!"
