Connor's Hogwarts

"test?"

Before Connor could recover from the shock that the other party could see through Artoria and Angel's souls, his attention was attracted by Slytherin's words.

"Yes, it's a test. As long as you pass the test I give you, you can get my inheritance. The first person who passes my test can not only get my knowledge, but also the wealth I left in the castle. , this is the meaning of me staying here as a stone statue."

Slytherin's inheritance and treasure?

"As long as you get my knowledge, you can easily merge your two souls into one. This will be very useful and beneficial to you. I think you won't refuse?"

"." Of course Connor would not refuse. Rather, the heritage of Slytherin was far more attractive than the heritage of Gryffindor and Ravenclaw.

Because the magical knowledge related to the soul is very precious, the research on soul magic has developed the slowest in the past thousand years.

Precisely because of its rarity, the inheritance of soul-focused Slytherin is even more precious, and Connor is naturally very coveted for it.

"Of course, this is what I came here for,"

Connor raised his left hand, revealing two conspicuous marks on it, "My goal is to obtain all the inheritances of the four of you. Of course I will not refuse this challenge."

"very good."

Slytherin smiled with his hands behind his back: "Since you have obtained the inheritance of Godric and Rowena, it means that your courage and knowledge have been recognized by them, then I will not test you in these two aspects again. , so the test I give you is definitely not asking you to defeat so and so.”

"You just need to answer a few questions from me."

"Answer a few questions?" Connor wondered for a moment whether he heard correctly, "You mean my test is to answer a few questions?"

Could this be the preferential treatment given to the protagonist in the legend? Although Connor was secretly complaining, he actually felt a little elated. He felt that his fortune had turned out well, and he had a sense of destiny that heaven and earth had helped bring about.

"Yes," Slytherin nodded, "but you must answer my questions truthfully and don't try to lie in front of me. Your soul cannot lie to me."

"Okay, then you can ask." Connor felt that he had always been an honest child and he never lied.

"I know that there have always been rumors about me circulating outside, saying that I disagree with Godric and the others' proposition and prohibit Hogwarts from admitting students from Muggle families. Is that right?"

"Yes," Connor nodded honestly: "And this is recorded in history books. This is what you advocated at the beginning."

"." Green light flashed in Slytherin's eyes: "Of course I don't mean to deny this. That's exactly what I did at the beginning. Although they all agree with my point of view, I don't mean to give in. I just Let me talk to you about that period of history first.”

"A thousand years ago, it was still the period of the rule of the Roman Empire, that is, the period that you now call the Dark Ages of the Middle Ages." Slytherin paused as he spoke, probably like Gryffindor back then. I went to "read" other people's memories, and then continued:

"According to your history, after the fall of the Western Roman Empire, Europe entered the chaotic Middle Ages. The mortal world was full of plagues, migrations, and wars. The mountains and rivers were broken, and the people were in dire straits. Opposite to the chaos and disorder of the secular country, the church A high degree of unity - that was an era that belonged to the church."

"In the age of humankind's ignorance, wizards with absolute power were the masters of the world. Therefore, the church that has weapons like [angels] and concentrated the power of the vast majority of wizards is almost unstoppable."

"They adopt talented wizards and brainwash them into so-called priests and nuns to stabilize the rule of the Holy See. Any wizards who disobey them will be classified as heretics and hunted and killed."

"At that time, it was a very dark time for both mortals and wizards."

"." Connor naturally knew something about this history. He could only say that wherever humans existed, there would be battles, and wizards were also humans.

"The four of us tried to change the world when we were young, but our power was still too weak in front of the huge Holy See. Of course we failed. Later, we took the children we gathered along the way and came to Merlin's place. The wizard helped King Arthur establish a country far away from the Roman Empire and established Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.”

"." Connor glanced at Arturia, who was frowning next to him, and didn't dare to speak.

"We have indeed gone through a lot, and our ideas have diverged because of this. They believe that only by uniting all forces that can be united can we fight against the Holy See, so as long as they are children with wizard talents, they are willing to accept them as students. They believe that the only way to do this is to Only by strengthening ourselves as much as possible can we gain more hope for tomorrow.”

"There should be no problem with this idea." Connor scratched his head, noncommittal.

"Of course there is a problem!" Slytherin's eyes were filled with flames: "They are just short-sighted and believe that our enemy is the church that hunts wizards, but they have not found the root of the problem!"

"Wizards who disobey the church can only run away. Is it really just because of the persecution of the church? No! Not all the top leaders of the church are wizards!"

"Since those believers and we are both wizards, how can they be enemies who only know how to kill each other? In fact, we have no fundamental contradiction. If they don't want us to shake their rule, just drive us away, why bother? How about hunting and killing everyone?!"

"Actually, that's because most of the so-called priests in the Holy See don't think they are the same as us at all! They only specialize in light magic, so they denounce other wizards as heretics. Most of them are actually attracted by people with ulterior motives. Cheated!"

Slytherin's voice gradually became more passionate: "Those of our kind have been manipulated throughout their lives by a lie full of flaws! How sad!"

"So our enemies should never be our own kind, because that lie will be exposed sooner or later. By that time, how many wizards are really willing to stand on the side of the Holy See?"

"So I don't agree to recruit Muggle-born wizards, because they are our potential enemies!"

"What a simple truth, but a thousand years ago, I failed to convince the four of them, and today, a thousand years later, it turns out that I was right! Even if the wizard does not have the Holy See as a formidable enemy, he still has to hide in the gutter To survive, this is precisely because our enemies have never been wizards, but Muggles who are not our kind!"

"..." Connor said weakly: "But nothing has happened to Hogwarts in the past thousand years. Even wizards born from Muggles are still wizards."

"Yes, it is precisely because they are wizards that they will not betray easily, but it is also precisely because they are Muggle-born wizards that they are the easiest to betray among us,"

Slytherin looked at Connor: "Once a war breaks out between wizards and Muggles, which side do you think this group of wizards will lean towards? This is why I don't agree with Hogwarts recruiting wizards of Muggle origin, because I know that wizards and Muggles are destined not to live in harmony. Even if it is not now, a war will definitely break out in the future. The fate brought about by this irreconcilable contradiction is fundamentally doomed."

"." Connor couldn't help but sigh with emotion. Although his ideas were a bit extreme, the fact that a person from a thousand years ago could have such a vision should not be underestimated. You must know that Dumbledore only saw this after he was middle-aged.

"After listening so much, you probably know what I'm going to ask," the fire in Slytherin's eyes seemed to carry some indescribable power:

"What I want to ask is your position, Connor Lake. Do you think you are a [Wizard] or a [Human]?"
