Chapter 724 The Power of Pure Blood

"The gift of Morrigan, the goddess of war!" Ivan suddenly thought of the magical concept of "blood inheritance".

When flipping through ancient magic books, he had seen this word more than once, so he made corresponding investigations.

If this word is put into today, it may be very strange. Most wizards have never even heard of it. They don’t know what they are talking about, or think that it is a concept made out of thin air, but in the ancient Middle Ages, it was still occasionally used. hear.

Only in the oldest and purest pure-blood wizard families can there be blood inheritance.

Very rare, very low chance, but not impossible!

To understand this rare and special magic, it is necessary to know the origin of the wizard's blood.

The blood of wizards is very strange. Unlike Muggles, most pure-blood wizard families trace their roots back to some powerful magical creatures in ancient times, such as the incarnation of the so-called gods in the world, or some kind of natural Animals with great strength and intelligence and more.

An example was given in the information Iwen found, the ancestor of the pure-blood wizard family was a wild boar

Curious as it is how boars and human wizards conceived offspring, but it's true.

The combination of humans and magical creatures was very common in the magical world at that time, and most pure-blood wizards were proud of it.

Of course, this combination has many restrictions, and it has high requirements on the magical creature itself.

It doesn't mean that just finding a wild boar or some other magical creature to do it will give birth to a family of pure-blood wizards.

These magical creatures living in ancient times have very powerful magic power, and therefore have many rare characteristics. Although the power cannot be directly passed on to future generations, those characteristics can be passed on through blood.

This is the so-called bloodline inheritance, and it is also the root of the powerful and ordinary wizards of the pure blood wizard family.

To put it simply, the stronger and more special the abilities of the ancestors, the more noble the descendants will be.

This kind of nobility is not reflected in the nobility of status, but refers to the special abilities possessed by the direct members of the family. According to the different abilities of their ancestors, members of different pure-blood wizard families have different characteristics, and the ways of inheritance are also different.

For example, in the Parseltongue of the Slytherin family, the ability to talk to snakes is not a skill that can be acquired through hard work. This kind of trait can only be obtained through blood, or like Harry, others cannot master it at all.

Of course, this rare method of power inheritance has almost disappeared, and it is difficult to see it again.

Because the bloodlines of pure-blood wizards have become very impure, the power hidden in the blood has also become extremely thin and cannot be revealed at all.

Although they kept trying to perpetuate this power through inbreeding and breeding, it was of no avail.

The only result of real intermarriage within a family is death. Although the purity of the bloodline and the integrity of the inherited traits have been maintained, the personalities of the last few generations of members have become irritable and their IQs have greatly decreased. This is an inevitable result.

Just like Voldemort's uncle, Morfin Gaunt, as the last member of the Gaunt family, he can't even communicate normally, he can only speak Parseltongue, and has a rude temper and cruel personality, brewing with his father The tragedy that followed.

Intermarriage within a family is an extremely barbaric practice. The common strategy adopted by pure-blood wizard families is to combine with other pure-blood wizard families to spread the power of the family blood within a small area.

The idea is good, but it is useless in practice. The way to obtain blood power is not as simple as a simple proportional conversion.

Until now, the so-called pure-blood wizarding families like the Malfoy family had very thin bloodlines, and pure blood itself would not bring them any benefits in terms of strength and strength, it was just a status symbol.

In Aiwen's view, this has become a shackle instead, locking them firmly.

They keep promoting the concept of "pure blood glory" to highlight their nobility, look down on other wizards, and even pin their hopes on Voldemort, hoping that he will lead them back to the past era and find the lost glory

Their thinking is actually very sad. It is slowly decaying in the development of the times, and it is the last struggle of a declining pure-blood family.

Although this is the situation today, in the Middle Ages thousands of years ago, the power of bloodline inheritance still existed.

The Ravenclaw family is the most obvious example. This ancient family is considered to be the direct descendant of the raven who was the incarnation of the goddess of war, Morrigan. It is very likely that they have acquired some special abilities from the goddess of war.

In some way, the family can always ensure that there is an inheritor from generation to generation.

Although Aiwen didn't know what traits they acquired, they were undoubtedly very powerful.

The Ravenclaw family was one of the top wizarding families at that time, ruling and leading the entire wizarding world for thousands of years.

Judging from the information available so far, this kind of influence is not limited to the United Kingdom, but can even expand to the whole of Europe.

However, this influence quickly declined after the death of Ms. Rowena Ravenclaw and became negligible!

Her daughter Helena died humiliatingly in the Albanian forest for stealing the crown.

Other members of Ravenclaw did not gain this power, and this once-prominent ancient family slowly disappeared from history.

Judging from the current situation, it is very likely that Rowena Ravenclaw voluntarily gave up this power, which she called the gift of War Goddess Morrigan, but at the same time it is the power of curse.

The more powerful the power, the more restricted it is to use, and the greater the price to pay.

This is very obvious in the advanced magic, and it is not as simple as just paying magic power.

Rowena is a very smart person, and was even called the wisest wizard at one time. Of course, she can weigh the pros and cons and make the most sensible choice, although this kind of choice is impossible in the eyes of people who pursue power. understand.

"You are already a great wizard!" Gryffindor took a step forward, "There is no need to change anything, I like you the way you are now"

"Godric, you don't understand the pain this power has brought me." Ravenclaw looked at Gryffindor, the blue in his clever eyes became deeper, and said calmly, "I also imagine a Normal people have feelings like that, instead of judging what reaction I should give based on your words and actions."
