Vol 2 Chapter 603: Domestic elf's head

Behind the brick wall is a wide space.
When Ai Wen went in, he was shocked. He was facing something huge on his huge wall.
A closer look reveals that it is the crumpled head of the house elf.
They piled up intensively with long, equally ugly noses.
These are more realistic than the row of house elves that Ivan had seen in the old family of the Black family. Under the low temperature preservation, they look lifelike, just like they were before life, looking at them with big eyes and indifference. Enter.
There are quite a few home-grown elves with a smile on their face, and the mouth is very exaggerated.
In this case, these smiles, in addition to the sinister, make people feel that there is no trace of kindness.
Imagine the sensory stimulation, shock and stress that thousands of ugly heads piled together.
If you don’t know that the house elf has the habit of cutting his head and hanging it on the wall after death, Ivan thought that this is the base of some of the most evil black wizards, and only those who are psychopathic will be on the wall. Hang this kind of thing.
A wall is separated by a cold storage of Hogwarts' food, and the other side is like a hell-like head display.
If the students see this picture, they don't know if they can still eat the food that the house elves do.
Behind Ai Wen, Dobby also came in.
He suddenly screamed and his right arm crossed to cover his eyes.
More than the other hand holding the corner of Ai Wen, followed by Ai Wen trembled forward, as if very scared.
"Master Ai Wen, let's go back!" Dobby said, "It makes Dobby feel uncomfortable here."

Is not comfortable?!
asked Ai Wen.
Cut your head down on the wall, isn’t it the tradition of your family to raise elves?

According to him, most of the domestic elves have such terrible thoughts, such as Kreacher.
His biggest dream is to cut his head and hang it with his ancestors in the old house of the Black family.
"Dobby doesn't like this tradition, don't hang his head here!" Dobby said sharply. "Dobby is a free elf. It is better to bury us like a wizard after death. Let's go back soon." Master, Master Avon!"
"Wait a minute, let's see!" Avon said, looking at the house elf who was trembling at his feet.
He led Dobby through the rows of rows of house elves before his head, holding his wand and carefully looking around.
The wide room was cold and quiet, perhaps because of the regular cleaning, and there was no dust on the ground.
Only those heads on the wall hang quietly there, with strange expressions on their faces.
Some domestic elves are solemn, some have a smile, others are angry, and others are very humble.
In a sense, this is the holy place of the Hogwarts house elf.
From the heads on the wall, you can see the changes in history and the changes in the status of the house elf.
The house elves of different eras are not dressed the same, and their faces look different.
The expressions on the heads of the elf ancestors that Ivan first saw were mostly full of self-confidence and many exaggerated ornaments.
Many jewelry have a high value, and Ai Wen can even feel the magic of it.
It is conceivable that the house elves of that era were richer and possessed a lot of personal property.
This was the early days of the history of magic, and before they were the slaves of the wizards, they were free and independent species.
Their status and the sorcerer are equal, because of their docile character, peace of mind, and more powerful magic. The house elves of that era are the most inhuman intelligent creatures who are most closely related to the wizard. They accept the employment of human wizards. The field of magic acts as an assistant to the wizard.
Ai Wen continued to move forward, recalling the history of the family elf races she saw in the book.
The more you go back, the closer you are to modern times, the humbler the look on the face of the elf on the wall, and there are no more decorations.
At this time, they are no longer free species, but the efforts of wizards.
There is a head hanging on the wall, and the face of the house elf above or more is missing something.
The look of a face looks extraordinarily shocking.
They seem to have suffered some kind of cruel abuse and permanent damage caused by unrecoverable magic.
This period is the most popular period of pure blood theory and black magic, and the persecution of the house elves by the wizards is also the most serious.
Even the house elves in the school can't avoid being abused by the students as a tool for fun.
It is conceivable that the elves who live in the pure blood wizard family will be miserable.
In fact, in that dark age, this situation also existed in other creatures.
In this case, there are many inhuman intelligent creatures that begin to rebel against the brutal rule of human wizards.
One of the most famous is the goblin rebellion, they have resisted many times.
The largest and most successful one occurred in 1612, and the goblins used Hogmund's tavern as a command to attack the magic world.
At the beginning of the battle, the goblins are hiding behind the scenes, and they are superficially wizards.
But in the dark, unite the giants and let them come out to make trouble.
When the army of the Ministry of Magic and the giants fought, the goblins suddenly rebelled and attacked.
Sudden changes caused the wizards to be hit hard, and many wizards died in the battle.
The goblins occupied the Ministry of Magic and Diagonal Lane with the fastest speed, and even the pure-blooded wizard family was attacked, and everyone was at risk.
The most tragic stage of the war was Hogwarts' offensive and defensive war.
The goblins continue to consolidate the advantages they have gained. They unite non-human intelligent creatures such as horsemen, giants, mermaids, vampires, and a lot of dangerous magical creatures and the help of many evil black wizards. The forces far exceed the wizards of the Ministry of Magic. Coalition.
The wizards huddled in Hogwarts Castle, and their allies were only house elves and a handful of magical creatures.
The house elf is the only non-human magic creature in the goblin rebellion that does not betray the human wizard.
The Ministry of Magic and the pure-blood wizard family at that time probably promised a lot of things to the house elves before they persuaded them to become their allies.
These contents have not been checked, and Ai Wen does not know how they did it.
The only thing I can know is that the tragic war ended with a draw. The goblins did not successfully capture Hogwarts, but the magic world has successively recognized the independent status of non-human intelligent creatures such as fairy, horse, and mermaid. They are no longer The slave of the wizard.
Only the status of the house elves who helped the wizards in the war did not change. On the contrary, they ushered in more deformed and severe slavery and oppression, and at that time, no one had spoken for them (to be continued) .)
