Chapter 64 Cruel History

"That makes a lot of sense." Nico nodded, "So you want me to take Harley to meet my old friends?

That's a pity, most of my old friends are already lying in the graves, and those who are alive have probably changed their states."

Dumbledore smiled and said: "Why can't I come to see you?

Aren’t you and Perenal two living history books, two living legends?”

"Thank you for the compliment. Although it is very cliché, I am very happy." Perenaar said with a smile.

Nico adjusted his glasses, and Harry noticed the fluctuation of magic power on the glasses:

"Albus, after hearing your words, I remembered those things again.

Ah, I am not boasting, my life is much more exciting than what you and...that child have experienced.

After all, my age is here. I think back then, in the 14th century..."

Nico began to chatter like the elderly, and Perenal also added important information from time to time, recalling the difficult but wonderful time the two spent together.

Harley listened carefully and felt shocked from time to time.

Nico, like himself, is a person who cannot bear loneliness. He has lived for hundreds of years, dug countless ruins, and even explored the history of the Second Age, and even knew about the existence of the ancient sun god.

Not to mention the fact that the poor ancient Sun God was betrayed by six of his eight angel kings. Only two of his children were not betrayed.

And Nico also has a lot of wonderful history about the magical world, which is completely invisible in "History of Magic" and other books.

For example, according to the recorded history of Hogwarts, Slytherin left because of differences among the four founders over whether to accept Muggle students.

But according to Nico, Slytherin's order to leave was hidden, and later, the other three founders left Hogwarts one after another, which also confirmed this view.

"The Gaunt family had several useless children and sold a particularly valuable portrait."

Nick sat on the recliner, squinting his eyes and thinking about this period of history.

"I happened to have some spare money at that time, although it was not much, it was enough to buy this painting.

From the mouth of that portrait, I got some very wonderful information, but it is extremely scary to think about it.

For example, Slytherin's escape was because he discovered a truth five thousand years ago and wanted to stop it.

Of course, I don’t know the specific truth. After all, his destination is that door, and I dare not go through it to find out.

Oh, by the way, it was five thousand years ago at the time of Slytherin, and it should be six thousand years ago now.

At that time, there were countless races with magical powers in the whole world, and all races were fighting each other.

Human beings at that time were extremely weak, but through their powerful reproductive capabilities and some shameful means, they stole the blood of other races and gained magical abilities..."

Nico's topics kept jumping around, and there were many terms that Harry couldn't understand, such as the door.

But since Nico didn't say anything, and Dumbledore and Perenal didn't provide additional explanations, Harry naturally wouldn't ask for trouble.

Besides, Nico had already said a lot. The old man's words were very vague, but Harry could still hear the level of bloodiness in them.

"...In the end, mankind achieved its current status."

Nico finished talking about such a long section of history in one breath, then picked up the cup and drank a few sips of water.

After putting the cup down, the tea was automatically refilled instantly.

"Indeed. Although I have heard it countless times, when I think about it now, I am still amazed by the darkness of that period of history."

Dumbledore nodded and said, then looked at Harry, "Harry, don't you want to ask Nico about the house elves?"

"House elf?" Nico repeated with interest.

"Yes." Harley nodded, and then told her abridged version of what she had experienced some time ago.

"That's it." Nico snapped his fingers, and invisible magic waves flashed through the room, and all sounds were isolated.

He glanced at Harry and Dumbledore apologetically: "I don't want those house elves to hear this history."

"In a sense, this history created our Lemay family." Nico sighed and said softly,

"Do you remember what I said earlier about the oldest history of the magical world? At that time, countless races with magical powers or their own unique abilities were fighting each other.

House elves were not called house elves at that time, but were called gnomes.

Although dwarfs are short in stature and weak in physique, they have extremely high intelligence and have their own magic system and unique abilities.

They are natural craftsmen who can create all kinds of powerful magic equipment. They even claim to have the real 'god', believe in it, and worship it.

As history continues to develop, dwarves and wizards have gradually become the only two consistently powerful races.

Others, such as mermaids, centaurs, and vampires, have all weakened with the passage of time, leaving only a small number of members alive and losing many of their abilities."

"Then what?" Harley asked with interest.

"Then the dwarfs wanted to be the sole rulers of the magical world.

They want to kill all wizards, extract their magic power to make magic equipment, and enslave the remaining ordinary humans.

According to my family’s records, their so-called ‘god’ even took action himself.

However, there are also beings called gods among wizards, and they intervened to stop the dwarf's 'god'.

Of course, in my opinion, 'gods' are probably just powerful wizards and dwarfs.

All in all, the wizard won the battle and placed an eternal curse on the dwarfs.

The gnomes became house elves, growing uglier and losing their natural craftsmanship.

As revenge for their delusional attempt to enslave humans and wizards, house elves can only serve their masters forever and obey their orders.

And my family also plundered a lot of dwarf-derived technologies during that period, so it achieved its current status.

I was able to make the magic stone because of the primitive accumulation from that time. Otherwise, I wouldn't even be able to collect the materials on my own."

Nico spoke softly about that period of history. Although he spoke quickly, there was blood in every word.

This is a war between two races! Only living creatures are qualified to record history!
