The Transfiguration professor at Hogwarts is always up for business

0157 The wisdom of the crowd

"sit."

Aini patted the place beside him, motioning for the girl to come over.

Although she was a little distracted by the torment for the past few days, Hermione would not question Ani at the library door. Under her leadership, the two came to the Transfiguration Professor's office.

That's right, it was under her leadership that Aini gave Hermione a key, and the girl would come here when she wanted to be clean, but it was rare for the real master to come here.

"Aini, that is life after all."

Hermione said in a crying voice that she didn't like fairies, but the girl also knew that they were thoughtful and intelligent creatures. The casualties caused by the fire dragon's escape were really a big blow to the little witch who was born in a peaceful age.

What worried her most was what kind of role Aini played in it.

"Hermione, what do you think of creatures like goblins?"

Aini took out two bottles of Lin Lu, unscrewed one bottle and handed it to the girl.

"Greedy, despicable, cunning, cruel..."

After Aniti, Hermione deliberately went to check the relevant historical materials. It can be said that what the goblin did was completely contrary to the girl's concept of right and wrong.

Every time she vomited out a trait, the girl's brows stretched a little, inexplicably feeling that maybe a goblin after being roasted by a fire dragon can be regarded as a good goblin.

"Yes, you are quite right. Few wizards would like such creatures, but they still exist. Don't you find it strange that they are completely weak?"

Aini followed the girl's words. There is unexpected light in this world, but there are also unpredictable darkness.

"Is it because of...the country?"

Hermione hesitated to give an answer. She really hadn't thought about this question before, but she knew something about the goblin system.

Although every larger wizarding distribution center has Gringotts, the goblins are not divided by the human kingdom, and they are still glued together in groups.

The overall strength is naturally far inferior to wizards, but the gathering of goblins is enough to fight against a single kingdom of wizards.

"Not really."

Aini denied the girl's point of view, but did not explain the key points to her, but talked about the formation of goblins.

"Fairies have always claimed that their magical talent is stronger than that of humans. After all, as magical creatures, goblins can almost use a few small spells when they grow up. Most humans are Muggles, and even wizards may combine to produce squibs. The amazing thing is that some people still believe it."

Ani showed a slightly mocking smile.

"Actually, the talents of most goblins are completely incomparable to young wizards like you who have the qualifications for admission."

Following Aini's words, several icons appeared in front of the two of them.

"For example, the ones in Gringotts, who seem to be in charge of wealth and power, are very beautiful, but they are actually the lowest level of ordinary goblins."

Aini pointed to the pyramid-shaped goblin hierarchy map in the middle, and said with a serious face: "The goblins have never really surrendered. After the last goblin rebellion, they hid the elite of the clan in the so-called Avalon to escape the wizard's attack." Revenge, most of the people who are active in the wizarding world are guys with mediocre talents."

"Avalon?"

Hermione asked incredulously, even when she was still a Muggle, she was very familiar with this legendary sleeping place of King Arthur.

"It's just a self-proclaimed one. Those ugly dwarfs have nothing to do with the beautiful witches in Celtic legends. The Avalon they talk about is not an ideal land, but a place to lick their wounds and prepare for war."

After hearing Aini's explanation, Hermione breathed a sigh of relief. Just now, she had unconsciously started to replace the elves in fairy tales with the image of a goblin, which simply ruined the childhood series.

The girl didn't have the slightest thought of questioning the statement that the goblin was preparing for battle.Every once in a while in history—as short as a few decades, as long as 300 years, those ugly things will launch a rebellion.

It was the wizard's attitude towards goblins that made Hermione a little puzzled. Judging from the current state of three or two alien cats and kittens, wizards are not a soft-hearted group. Why are they allowed to jump around like this?

Thinking of this, the little witch expressed her doubts, which is exactly what Aini wanted to tell her.

"As early as the middle of the dark age, the ancestors wanted to exterminate the goblins. However, the upper class of goblins abandoned all the ordinary people and started attacking little wizards. Although their magic is less powerful, it is more secretive than human beings. The loss was heavy, and we had no choice but to negotiate a peace..."

The girl seemed to have experienced those dark years following Aini's narration. As long as the parents were negligent, the little wizard might be attacked and killed, and even her own yard was no longer safe.

Everyone in the magic world was in danger, and in the end the two parties had to sit at the negotiating table again and signed an agreement that was not peaceful.

Since then, the war between humans and goblins has only been divided into winners and losers, and no longer involves the survival of the race.

"Should the murderer be allowed to go unpunished?"

Hermione asked angrily, she had long forgotten how entangled her heart was after hearing about the Gringotts murder, and now the girl wanted to let the fire dragon eat them all.

"At that time, the Ministry of Magic was not even established, and there were no laws with credibility at all. Only some powerful wizards would set some rules within their sphere of influence."

Aini reached out and clicked, and the two pictures in front of him were glued together. On the left was a familiar old castle, and on the right was a slowly sinking island.

"Hogwarts!?"

The girl opened her small mouth in surprise, and then realized something was wrong, and quickly raised her hand to cover her two big dies.

"I've read "Hogwarts, A School History". It says that the Big Four built this place to block the prying eyes of Muggles and protect wizards from being persecuted..."

Hermione spoke very quickly about the knowledge she learned from the books, but as she spoke, the girl's words slowed down and stopped.

"Hermione, although you are only a second-year student, how can Muggles persecute you?"

The girl was speechless.

Indeed, any attack without magic power can hardly cause harm to wizards, not to mention the weapon configuration of ancient Muggles, even today's heavy firepower such as explosives and missiles can't do anything to wizards, this is due to the gap in energy levels.

As for firearms and other small-power weapons, there is no need for the Iron Armor Curse, and the magic power of body protection can completely ignore them.It is also the fact that Muggle weapons have almost no threat to wizards, which makes the latter establish a huge psychological advantage over the former.

It is not pride and conceit that pure blood families have lasted for thousands of years. Strength and interests are the foundation of their enduring.

Weapons can't harm them, and sophisticated technology products can't be applied in the magical world. Naturally, those of the same kind who don't have magical talent, in the eyes of pure-blood families, the value drops again and again, becoming synonymous with uselessness.

Their approach is indeed biased.

After all, in the world of magic, knowledge is power, but lack of power does not necessarily mean an empty mind.

Aini believes that even if there is no contact and integration with the magic world, with the development of technology, people will definitely master the power of a higher level.

He has always believed in the wisdom of the Clan.
