608. Chapter 604 house elf's head

    Behind the brick wall is a wide space.

    Ivan was shocked when he first entered, and his huge wall was covered with anything.

    A closer look reveals that it is a house elf wrinkled head.

    They piled up intensively with long, equally ugly noses.

    These are more realistic than the row of house elf heads that Ivan saw in the Black family's old house. Under the low temperature preservation, they look lifelike, just like they used to, looking at the intruders with their big eyes and indifference. .

    There are a lot of house elf's humble faces with a smile on their faces, and the corners of their mouths are very exaggerated.

    In this case, these smiles, in addition to the gloomy, make people feel a little intimate.

    Imagine the sensory stimulation, shock and stress that thousands of ugly heads piled together.

    If I don't know that house elf has the habit of cutting his head and hanging it on the wall after death, Ivan thought that this is the base of a cruelest dark wizards, and only those who are psychopathic will hang this thing on the wall. .

    A wall is separated by a cold storage of Hogwarts for food, and the other is a brain-like exhibition hall.

    If the students saw this picture, they didn't know if they could still eat the food made by house elf.

    Behind Ivan, Dobby also came in.

    He suddenly screamed and his right arm crossed to cover his eyes.

    Dobby's other hand held Ivan's horn and followed Ivan's trembling forward, seemingly scared.

    "Master Ivan, let's go back!"Dobby said, “It makes Dobby feel uncomfortable here.”

    UncomfortableIvan asked, “Cut your head down on the wall, isn't it the tradition of your house elf?”

    According to him, most house elf have such terrible ideas, such as Kreacher.

    His biggest dream is to cut his head and hang it with his ancestors in the old house of the Black family.

    “Dobby doesn’t like this tradition, Dobby doesn’t hang his head here!”Dobby screamed, "Dobby is a free elf, and Dobby is buried like a wizard after death…Let's go back, Master Ivan! ”

    "Wait a minute, let's see!"Ivan said, looking at the house elf trembling at the feet.

    He led Dobby through the rows of house elf heads, holding the wand up and looking around carefully.

    The wide room was cold and quiet, maybe it was cleaned regularly, and there was no dust on the ground.

    Only those heads on the wall hang quietly there, with strange expressions on their faces.

    Some house elf looks solemn, some smile, others look angry, and others are very humble…

    In a sense, this is the holy place of Hogwarts house elf.

    From the heads on the wall, you can see the changes in history and the changes in the status of house elf.

    The house elf of different eras is not dressed the same, and the look on the face is different.

    The expressions of the little elf ancestors that Ivan first saw were full of confidence and a lot of exaggerated ornaments.

    Many ornaments have high value, and Ivan can even feel the magic of it.

    It is conceivable that the house elf of that era was richer and had a lot of personal property.

    This was the early days of the history of magic, before house elf became a wizard's slave, they were free and independent species at the time.

    Their status and wizard are equal, because of their meekness, peace of mind, and a more powerful magic power. The house elf of that era is the non-human sentient creature most closely related to the wizard. They accept human wizard's employment, in each The magic field acts as a wizard's assistant.

    Ivan continued to move forward, recalling the history of the house elf race she saw in the book.

    The more you go back, the closer you are to modernity, the more humble the look on the wall of little elf, and there are no more decorations.

    At this time, they are no longer free species, but wizard's efforts.

    There is a head hanging on the wall, and the house elf on it is missing something.

    The look of a face looks extraordinarily shocking.

    They seem to have suffered some kind of cruel abuse and permanent damage caused by unrecoverable magic.

    This period is the most popular period of pure blood theory and dark magic, and the widows' persecution of house elf is also the most serious.

    Even the house elf in the school can't be avoided by the students to attack and abuse, as a tool for fun.

    It is conceivable that the little elf who lives in the pure blood wizard family will be miserable.

    In fact, in that dark age, this situation also existed in other creatures.

    In this case, there are many non-human sentient creatures that begin to rebel against the brutal rule of human wizard.

    One of the most famous is the Goblin rebellion, which they resist many times.

    The largest and most successful one occurred in 1612, when Goblin used the Hogsmeade tavern as a command to attack the magic circle.

    At the beginning of the battle, the sly Goblins were hiding behind the scenes, and they were supervised as wizard's allies.

    But in the dark, they united the giants and let them come out to make trouble.

    When the Ministry of Magic's army and the giants fought, the Goblins suddenly rebelled and attacked.

    The sudden changes caused the wizards to be hit hard, and many wizards died in the battle.

    The Goblins occupied the Ministry of Magic and Diagon Alley as quickly as possible, and even the pure-blooded wizard family was attacked, and everyone was at risk.

    The most tragic stage of the war was Hogwarts' offensive and defensive war.

    Goblin has continued to consolidate the advantages that have been achieved. They have united non-human sentient creatures such as Centaur, Giant, Merpeople, Vampire, and a lot of dangerous magical creatures and many cruel dark wizards. The power is far beyond the Ministry of Magic. Wizard coalition.

    The wizards are huddled in Hogwarts Castle, and their allies have only house elf and a small amount of magical creature.

    House elf is the Goblin rebellion, the only one not betraying human wizard's non-human magical creature.

    The Ministry of Magic and the pure-blooded wizard family at that time probably promised a lot to the house elf to convince them to be their allies.

    I haven't been able to check out these things, and Ivan doesn't know how they did it.

    The only thing that can be known is that the tragic war ended with a draw. The Goblins did not succeed in capturing Hogwarts, but the magic circle has successively recognized the independent status of non-human sentient creatures such as Goblin, Centaur, and Merpeople. They are no longer slaves.

    Only in the war to help the status of the wizard's house elf have not changed, on the contrary, they ushered in more deformed and severe slavery and oppression, and at that time, no one has spoken for them…
