Chapter 1388: The Age of Pure-Blood Wizard Expectations

Ivan walked to the Slytherin desk, and now he could clearly see the scepter in front of him.

The body of the dark golden rod, the patterns on the body of the two giant snakes, and the complex patterns carved with ancient runes on the rod.

Of the four key items left by Slytherin, only this scepter remains unknown.

Needless to say its importance, in those ancient ruins, Ivan has seen its pattern many times,

The legend about the double snake staff can be traced back to the ancient god Hermes. He is considered the patron of magic and the inventor of ancient alchemy. His magic wand, that is, the double snake staff, also has a clear mystery with magic. association.

As such, the wand is considered the original wand, the archetype of wizarding weapons.

In addition, Hermes is also the messenger of the gods, the guide who connects the mortal world of human beings and the world where the gods live. He can make gods and people fall asleep with just a wave of the scepter in his hand. It can also wake them up from their dreams.

Here, the double snake staff is considered to be the key connecting the mortal world and the world of gods.

All in all, there are many legends and stories about this scepter, such as the ancient prophet Moses and its story, and...

Perhaps, the two snake rods that appear in these stories are different, but since they are all the same shape, they are more or less connected.

Regardless, the Staff of the Two Serpents is an extremely important and powerful magical item.

Ivan stretched out his hand, trying to pick up the scepter.

But before his right hand touched the scepter, the eyes of the two giant snakes wrapped around it suddenly opened, staring at him firmly.

Suddenly, a real sense of oppression hit his face, and he took a step back.

This feeling is like being hit hard by someone.

The breath on the double snake rod forms an invisible air wall between it and Aiwen. Aiwen must use magic power to break through this wall, which somewhat makes him sober. recover.

These invisible auras may be the power of the Twin Snake Staff itself, or the magic left here by Slytherin.

Anyway, it is not a sensible thing to touch this scepter rashly.

In the previous illusion, Gryffindor reminded Ivan not to do this.

He glanced at the dark golden scepter again. For safety's sake, he thought it was best to stay away from it.

The time he came back this time was limited, and it was more important to go to Ravenclaw now, rather than to study this mysterious scepter here.

At this time, Ravenclaw should be in the auditorium to release her major research results that can change the history of the development of the magic world.

Aiwen planned to find her, he left the principal's office and came to the main building of the castle.

Like the room just now, the corridor of the main building is also very quiet, only the sound of the torches burning quietly.

Compared with later generations, the corridor that appeared in front of Ai Wen was more rough and cold. There were no windows on the walls, and they were all cold black stones. ...how should I put it, it is a decoration that looks very unpleasant.

For example, an air-dried troll specimen was placed at the corner of the stairs without any cover.

Ai Wen was taken aback when he passed by. The giant monster was frighteningly large, lifelike and lifelike, and stared at him viciously.

It still seemed to be alive, because Ivan felt that he could feel its breath.

He walked carefully around the troll and down the stairs.

For another example, if you look along the dark and narrow corridor on the sixth floor, you can see that it is full of bones...

This castle is nothing like the Hogwarts in Ivan's impression, but more like the stronghold of a dark wizard.

The real situation is that Hogwarts in this period has just been established. Before that, it was the castle passed down from generation to generation by the Slytherin family. Many walls and decorations were inlaid with the unique patterns of the Slytherin family.

Although the Slytherin family is not a family of dark wizards, it does not mean that they are absolutely decent wizards.

The overall style of the Middle Ages tends to be dark and bloody, which is very different from later generations. Except for evil magic that violates the laws of nature, black magic in this period is not prohibited, and many wizards will learn and research it.

So, it’s not surprising to see such a picture!

Aiwen thought while walking. During this period, Hogwarts should have begun to try to recruit Muggle-born students. I don't know how many students the four founders have recruited in total, but the number should not be too many.

He walked in the castle for so long without being found, nor did he meet a single student. From this, it can be seen that there are very few people in the castle.

The education method of magic school is still a relatively new concept, and it is not accepted by the magic world.

Wizard families have their own methods of educating their descendants. Even if the four founders are very powerful wizards, many people cannot trust them.

In fact, Hogwarts would never have been possible if the four founders and their families were not famous.

As for Muggle students, it is also very difficult to really recruit them.

It's not like an owl email can solve the problem later. Muggles in this era can't tell the difference between wizards and devils. If they receive such a letter, their first reaction is probably to kill their children, otherwise they will be killed by others. People know, maybe the whole family will be ruined, this is not a joke.

It is impossible to have such Muggle parents with money to support them to learn magic.

Even if the professors came to the door in person and told them that their child was a wizard, the ending would probably be similar...

The entire wizarding world and the Muggle world are completely opposite, and the ruling class's propaganda, policies, traditional concepts of pure blood supremacy and frequent terrorist attacks have also exacerbated this opposition. Muggles are terrified of wizards and hate wizards. However, in the wizarding world dominated by pure-blood wizards, the treatment of Muggles is completely the same as Voldemort and his followers propagated. Even, in many cases, wizards of this era will go too far. They think that they is above Muggles.

In the eyes of some wizards, Muggles are not humans at all, but intelligent creatures like centaurs and goblins...

This is the era that all wizards who firmly believe in the supremacy of pure blood hope to return to, the dark, bloody, and chaotic Middle Ages.

The whole situation did not improve until the Wizarding Secrecy Act was promulgated. Since then, with the development of science, Muggles have gradually forgotten the existence of wizards, thinking that they are just professions fabricated in legends. So intense.

Ivan walked down the main staircase while thinking about the background of this era.

He always thought that when he returned to Hogwarts thousands of years ago, he would meet the four founders just like last time.

Then, have an open and honest chat with them, especially those doubts in his mind...

Aiwen didn't expect it, and he wasn't ready to meet other people, but just as he walked to the third floor, he saw a girl in a sky blue dress gown coming up from below. Showing a smooth and fair face, giving people a decisive and capable feeling.
