Chapter 536: There Is a Lot of Madness
In fact, Hermione's anger was inevitable.
Ron's attitude made it clear that Ron would never participate in this terrible S.P.E.W.
In Ron's words, it was vomiting, but in Hermione's words, it was house-elf good news.
Fanlin doesn't think so.
A fear embedded in the bones of the race, it must be said that Hermione chose a very difficult path.
"I was just about to tell you that we're going to do something for the house elves that I've been working on for over a week."
…
Well, it seems that among the few people, only Hermione is so eager.
Harry and Fanlin were completely indifferent. In Dobby's case, although Dobby was a very different kind of house elf, even Dobby, an elf who longed for freedom, faced the loss of his job. Bi will also become helpless.
Today's house elves can't live without this, and there's no doubt that if they were left without a job, they would die.
Like Ron said, they like to work.
Any house elf, except Dobby, if you paid him wages, it would be as bad as killing them.
In fact, life and work are equated.
Fan Lin regretted telling Hermione about the house-elf kitchen. Hermione's S.P.E.W. was absolutely inseparable from this matter. Of course, the most important thing was the matter of Winky.
Even from the perspective of other people, orthodox wizards, Crouch treats his servants a little cruelly.
Everyone knew that Winky didn't do anything, but Crouch fired Winky anyway.
The worst thing is that there is still no news about Dobby. Winky has gone to no one after she was released from the Ministry of Magic. Dobby can't find her at all.
This poor little elf.
In fact, house elves are born with magic, and as they grow older, their magic is no less powerful than that of an adult wizard.
But what's even worse is that apart from some advanced life magic, these house elves don't have any attack methods at all.
The simplest magic nudge?
This has no power, and does not threaten the wizard at all. It is a powerful repelling spell, nothing more.
They are a lowly race who must serve their masters for generations. They are all slaves of an ancient and wealthy wizard family. They are responsible for all housework and are bound by their masters. They cannot disobey their master's orders casually. If they disobey, they must punish themselves. Possessing magic, casting spells requires permission from the owner. The condition for gaining freedom is that the master hands them a piece of clothing, but traditional house elves believe that it is being kicked out of the home by the master, which is a shame.
In fact, the relationship between house elves and wizards was not like this before.
House elves and goblins are actually related by blood.
But as two races, the character of goblins is more aggressive and the character of house elves is more gentle.
This is a clear reflection on this. Fairies are very aware of their own power.
In fact, many house elves are much more magical than wizards.
The characteristics of magic allow them to cross the barrier at will. Moreover, Dobby can take Fanlin to China through several unstable transformations, while the wizards need to create long-distance magic circles.
His grandmother was like that.
Even Dumbledore couldn't accomplish such a thing and arrive in China in a single apparation.
It can be seen from this that house elves, as magical creatures, have no problem with their strength.
But on some things the two races differed.
Everyone knows that in the history of magic, humans are not a powerful race, especially when facing things that are inherently powerful.
Flying dragon, giant...
Before the elves were exterminated, humans simply could not touch all the forests.
However, in the end, the goblin race chose humans. Just like the elves, they believed that humans were a promising race.
In fact, the dragon is so powerful that it does not need the help of fairies at all.
An adult dragon can fight against an entire city. Of course, this is not a Norwegian Ridgeback. The mountain-like size of the dragon is a very bad experience for humans.
However, in the end, humans still prevailed. They won one war after another, and the price was naturally the replacement of personnel.
The same goes for goblins.
The first batch of far-sighted fairies have died. In fact, there was a period of inactivity. Fanlin felt that someone might have done something, but it was too far away and there was no way to investigate.
But what is certain is that the status of house elves was originally equal to that of humans.
However, the character of the race determines that the house elf is destined not to become a heroic warrior, and with the development of magic, the strength of human beings gradually becomes stronger.
A powerful wizard can protect many people, and naturally, these people need to serve him.
House elves are one of them.
They didn't like fighting, but that didn't mean they could accept slavery.
Subtlety is very appropriate here.
Everyone has become accustomed to this model, the service of house elves, and they are proud of it.
However, after the war, the inherent pattern was broken, and the fairies needed space to survive.
At least at that time, goblins and house-elves were still the same race.
They were not satisfied with the rights given by humans, to be precise, they were not as good as before.
In the first goblin war, humans first captured the part belonging to the house-elves.
They were too bad at fighting.
Even though they had powerful magic, the house-elves who were slack in war and protected by their fellow goblins were vulnerable and defenseless in front of human wizards.
Humans began the first enslavement.
However, ambition can never be satisfied, and it needs conquest to match it.
Naturally, the power was weakened again, and the goblin war broke out for the second time.
In fact, there have been three goblin wars, including the recent goblin rebellion.
Humans completely turned these house-elves into their vassals through continuous conquests, enslavement and capture.
Humans destroyed the living environment of the house-elves, and they could only rely on humans to survive.
The last goblin rebellion made the goblins completely turn over, and their strength was remembered by the race.
In fact, the fact that non-humans are not allowed to hold wands is enough for the goblins to rebel. Moreover, there are no goblin representatives in the Wizengamot.
As mentioned before, goblins are not weaker than humans in terms of magic power. It can be said that goblins are powerful in some aspects.
Coupled with the decline of humans, goblins naturally won, and the establishment of Gringotts is naturally the best proof.
Human wizards working for goblins was a joke hundreds of years ago.
The goblins are very satisfied with this, equal rights.
However, their fellows were abandoned by goblins, and house-elves have been completely enslaved.
From the initial struggle to newborns, humans brainwashed and indoctrinated.
As mentioned before, although house-elves are powerful, such conquest is impossible to resist.
Coercion and inducement, to be precise, brainwashing plus sticks and whipping.
That kind of slavery has been passed down from generation to generation with brainwashing education and indoctrination.
Just like the first thing that changes when invaded by other countries is language learning.
In the subsequent goblin war, house elves were completely tied to humans.
The choice of house elves for their fellow goblins undoubtedly disappointed and angered all goblins.
Naturally, goblins will not accept betrayers.
There are many things about house elves.
According to research, Ms. Hufflepuff, the founder of Hogwarts, perfected the school with the help of house elves.
The name of the house elf can no longer be recorded, but the house elf kitchen is undoubtedly the best proof.
Enslaving house elves can be regarded as a tradition of Hogwarts, or not.
This is very contradictory, but at least, no one will beat the house elves in the kitchen.
Their lives are at least safe, although a little numb.
It can be said that this is a kind of racial discrimination.
Just like Voldemort's pure blood theory, they believe that wizards should enslave Muggles and keep their blood pure.
This is simply impossible, but under the huge benefits and honor, many wizards flock to it.
There were naturally many voices of opposition, which led to the confrontation and the defeat of Voldemort.
This is a change of times.
However, the era of house elves still remains in the past, and they are still enslaved.
This has become a habit of wizards.
If you think about it from another perspective, every wizard is no less than a crazy Death Eater.
They take the service of the house elves for granted.
This represents the vast majority of traditional wizards, and Hermione's theory is more suitable for Muggle wizards.
This is good news, to do something big.
It can be seen that Hermione has prepared a lot for this, from the goblin rebellion in the history of magic to the legal documents of the Ministry of Magic.
Even Hermione has developed a theoretical system of house elves.
Hermione's efforts are naturally not to be ignored, but this kind of thing can't be rushed.
It is undoubtedly very difficult and crazy for a few little wizards to push the huge inherent system.
Fanlin shook his head, he gently touched Hermione's head, and the girl felt a little aggrieved.
"Aren't there enough crazy things now?" Fanlin said softly.
Voldemort, plus a Grim Reaper, Fanlin doesn't care about one more thing.
"We can do it together, but it will take a long time. If you insist, then please be prepared." (To be continued)
