Harry Potter: Dark Alchemy Chapter 268: The extravagant life trap of wizards
Wright didn't let Harry wait long.
The next morning, he took Harry with him to the south of the village of San Catchpole and visited the Weasleys who lived here.
And this is also the first time Wright has come to such a "traditional" wizarding family.
Like what I have seen in the movie, the Burrow looks crooked and crooked. If it weren't for the support of magic, this crooked building would never have survived for so long. But the existence of the Burrow and the Weasley family also solved the doubts that had always existed in his mind for Wright:
That's why in ancient times, wizards who led ordinary people by a few times were far behind by ordinary people in the 20th century.
The first thing to be sure is that the rules of the Harry Potter world and the previous world are different. Because if it is the same, then there will not be colorful magical creatures born here, nor will there be born wizards and other humans who control supernatural powers. Yes, humans.
At least judging by Wright's eyes, the wizard still can't break away from the human category. They cry, laugh, argue with others because of a Jin Jialong, and starve to death because of long periods of non-eating.
Apart from magic, wizards are no different from ordinary Muggles. Even if the wands of most wizards are removed, they will really become Muggles, and they will not be able to use magic.
But this is what makes people puzzled.
Unsurprisingly, both wizards and Muggles evolved from ancient creatures, not because of the sudden arrival of an alien civilization and then using the earth as a huge testing ground and transforming the earth. But what is puzzling is that the wizarding civilization far surpassed the Muggle civilization of the same period, at least before the Middle Ages. But at the moment after the start of the Industrial Revolution, Muggle civilization seemed to have its wings on. Ordinary humans have acknowledged their ignorance, have begun to acquire nature's resources in their own way, and have begun to acquire unprecedented abilities.
The Europeans began to conquer the Americas and the oceans, and the entire earth became one piece, forming a harmonious and unified historical field. Ordinary humans have gradually broken away from geographical restrictions and have even begun to conquer the world outside the earth. Nuclear weapons have become the most powerful weapons in the hands of ordinary humans.
Even God’s creation authority has begun to be stolen by ordinary humans. Creatures are beginning to be shaped more and more by intelligent design rather than natural selection.
The wizarding world has been left far behind by the world of ordinary people, and it is said unceremoniously that the status contrast between the two has undergone a complete change.
Wright was originally puzzled by this anomaly, why the wizard, who possesses supernatural magic and should be omnipotent, will be replaced by a group of ordinary humans who can only exert their own physical power.
But now I see Molly use family magic to cook, cook, and wash dishes, George and Fred use magic to weed, drive out goblins in the yard, give birth to pumpkins, and Arthur uses magic to repair houses, rebuild cars...
Wright felt as if he had figured out a little doorway.
Although it is still unverifiable, the original wizards should have been born among ordinary people. It may be because of eating a certain kind of magical plant, or it may be because the blood of a certain kind of magical animal was contaminated in the process of hunting. There may also be other more evil speculations. After all, it can be inferred from the existence of the Occult Monster that there is no reproductive isolation in this world, at least there is no such thing among magical creatures.
Although the original black wizard on paper records is the despicable Helbo, an ancient Greek wizard, the actual birth time of the wizard should be very, very early, earlier than the time when mankind entered the agricultural revolution and began to grow food artificially. (Here should be Homo sapiens, the ancestor of modern people), and may even use the "ten thousand" as the unit of the year.
In the past, ordinary people lived together. Their life was to gather mushrooms and nuts together, and hunt some small herbivores with weak attack power. Their daily life was migration rather than settlement and labor.
When resources are high, children will have more children; when resources are low, children will be born fewer. However, babies and young children are slow to move and need extra care, which will burden the entire human tribe and require women who are also laborers to take care of them without interruption.
And that was probably more than 20,000 years ago.
About 18,000 years ago, the last ice age ended and the global climate was warming. All kinds of magical creatures began to vigorously grow, and the original wizard should also be born sometime after 18,000 years.
After the end of the last ice age, the climate in the Middle East was very suitable for the growth of wheat and other grains, so these crops began to flourish.
Gradually, prey and other food sources become more abundant in areas where wheat grows particularly luxuriantly. As a result, the human tribes that originally migrated everywhere were able to gradually abandon the wandering lifestyle, live in a certain place for a season, and even form a permanent settlement. It should also be from here that the wizards began to discover the difference between themselves and others.
Other people in the village make a living by hunting and gathering. They spend most of their day collecting and grinding all kinds of wild grains. They need to spend a lot of effort to build stone houses and barns, and they need to bend every day. I broke my waist to harvest those wild wheat, and then it took a lot of time to grind.
Others also need to plant seeds, plow the land, weeding, pest control, watering, and fertilizing.
For wizards, all these things are just tasks that can be accomplished with a wave of hands.
As the wizards moved into permanent villages, the supply of food continued to increase, and the number of wizards began to slowly increase. When other people need to farm, they can do it with a wave; when others need to hunt, they can do it with a wave; when other people’s children die because of hunger, the children of wizards are in the wizard’s They thrive under careful care, and may have inherited the magic of the paternal or maternal line.
Slowly, the wizards became more and more uncomfortable in the settlement.
In this way, the wizard may also be self-exiled, or he may be expelled by other people, and begin to walk out of the original tribe and build his own wizard village.
As time passed, the magic of wizards became stronger and stronger, and they themselves became stronger and stronger.
They can travel through time, jump into space; build pyramids, erect Stonehenge; and use magic to reach all the other shores they want to reach. At this time, ordinary people still only scrabble in the ground.
It was about that time when wizards began to call ordinary people Muggles~IndoMTL.com~ and even more, they would call them Mudbloods.
So the wizards began to separate from ordinary people, thinking they were superior.
In the past thousands of years, wizards have made many inventions that make life easy, time-saving and satisfying, such as magic spells, such as Floo nets, Floo fans, such as magic wands and so on.
The wizards saved all the trouble and time, but at the same time saved all the curiosity and motivation.
This continued until the arrival of the ordinary human scientific revolution.
Nowadays, ordinary people can also achieve some magical effects of wizards with the help of technology. Such as washing machines, dishwashers, such as telephones, mobile phones, Internet, e-mail, such as cranes, etc. Although the advanced magic of time, space, mind, reality and so on still cuts off the cognition of ordinary human beings like a moat, who can say exactly what will happen in the future?
At this time, the wizards were still wearing medieval costumes, maintaining an inherently old attitude and facing condescendingly against their former clan. The wizards are laughing. Muggles don’t understand magic, but besides magic, do wizards have anything else to be proud of now?
The wizards think that they have a tremendous power to change the face of the entire world. But the result was not what anyone expected, and it was not even what any wizard would like to see. No one or **** is behind the birth of magic power, or intends to make wizards rely on magic to exist. At the beginning, it was just a variety of small things. The main thing was to eat a little bit, live a safer life, and take more rest while working. But the effect caused by the final accumulation is that the wizards with supernatural powers will begin to be left behind by ordinary people, and they will never be able to catch up with them anymore.
And this is just because of a "luxury life trap" that is not extravagant.
