Harry Potter’s Book of Sin Chapter 437: Maca is flattened
() In the hall at the bottom of the tower, Maca is surrounded by a group of elves, sitting at a round table that is not too big, drinking sweet spring water, and eating the elves baking out The shortbread, it feels pretty good.
From these elves with strong autonomy, it can be seen that their race is born to like to work, which has subtle similarities with modern house elves.
In ancient times, the elves had many kinds of good or evil according to the different branches of blood. The ancestors of the house elves were often called "brown elves" in Scotland and other places because they often wore a set of torn brown clothes.
Unlike most other branches of the same race who are quite naughty and like pranks, the brown elves prefer to observe the actions of humans. And they will get along with people who are friendly to them.
If they can feel goodwill from you, then they might help you with housework, repair the house or something. At the same time, the curious ones will always take advantage of more contact opportunities to secretly stare at you.
It's just that the brown elves don't like compensation.
If you want to give them something in return because you are grateful for their help, they will immediately think that it is an insult to them and leave your home forever. If something is more serious, you might even start to make trouble in your daily life.
It can be seen that the reason why house elves have formed such strange character traits is probably related to this.
Maca was enjoying this slightly leisurely afternoon tea while also pushing the topic a little bit, intentionally or unintentionally.
Luck, the elder elf, feels very stable to him. As far as Maca understands them, he knows that this stability is not easy for an elf.
It was only thanks to this stability that he was able to speak the old language that was not very fluent, and the conversation went on smoothly.
From Rack's mouth, Maca learned about their ancestors of these little elves and their connection with Rowena Ravenclaw.
In fact, their ancestors had lived on this island for a long time before Loena found this island in the center of the Mediterranean.
It is said that there were still two ancient sorcerer households on the island at that time. Their ancestors often helped these two small families with their own temperaments, and occasionally took them from the kitchens of those two families. Some milk to drink.
Later, the descendants of these two wizard families gradually stopped coming back. The older generation of wizards also passed away, and the ancestors of the elves were alone again.
Until one day, a young girl appeared on this island and built a small house with magic. That rather rudimentary hut is the original appearance of the wizard's tower now.
The elves don't care where the girl comes from, and the girls don't care about the presence of such a group of noisy neighbors. A delicate balance has slowly formed between these two different races.
Since then, life has become ordinary and leisurely again.
The wizards at that time had not yet established a highly comprehensive magic school like the present one. Regarding the inheritance of magic, parents taught their children or invited other wizards to become apprentices.
Royna, who is still a young girl, doesn’t know where he got the inheritance of wizards. The little elves only know that he often hides in the house, studying all kinds of magic alone, until...
"...Later, a young human man encountered wind and waves at sea and was pushed onto the beach by the waves while holding a wooden board."
Hearing what Old Rack said, Maca remembered the old notes he found on the desk in a certain room when he was here last time.
Behind the daily notes used to record the experiments of magical creatures, I also wrote many essays about everyday life. He remembered that from a certain day, there was one more name in the above essay, and the more it was mentioned later.
"Is that young man called'Eun'?"
Maca pulled out the notebook from her waist, and quickly found the name.
"Ah! Yes..." Old Luck said softly, "My grandma once told me that story. Human love is very beautiful."
He paused, but then recalled: "Um... remember it was called... Eun Ravenclaw?"
"Sure enough, the last name is Ravenclaw?" Maca murmured.
According to records, Rowena Ravenclaw has never been married in her life, but she has a girl with the same surname, Helena, Ravenclaw. Because of this, many scholars have speculated that Rowena may have had a short marriage long ago and it is unknown.
At the moment, Maca has accidentally confirmed this long-lived conjecture... although it doesn't seem to be of much use anymore.
"The man was a helmsman on a long voyage. Royna Mira was very interested in sailing at sea. Then the two of them went out to sea together..." Old Luck said leisurely, "Until many years later, Roy Namira came back alone and took many things away..."
Luck the Elf tells the story of the year one after another, while Maca is thinking about the origin of Rowena.
For Maca, it is obviously necessary to know Rowena's life. It's just that time has passed so long, it's never easy to figure it out.
Although he had some speculations in his heart, it was quite difficult to prove it. After thinking about it, Maca turned his attention back to the conversation with the elf Luck.
It didn't take long before the topic gradually touched on the subject of his trip.
"...The outside family?" The elder elf frowned slightly, "It would be like this, which surprised Old Lak... But I wait for every race, and even every individual, to be theirs. Independence is derived from the rules of the ancestors and cannot be broken casually."
At this point, he gently shook his head.
"Although I feel very sympathetic to the experience of my family outside, since the choice was made because of defeat, the agreement is the agreement. The elves never break the agreement unilaterally."
"...Perhaps it is not an agreement, but just forced?" Maca curiously asked, "Why are you so sure?"
If Luck reacted fiercely to the living conditions of his fellow clan outside, he would not let the word "force" appear here, and it would not do any good for the purpose of his trip.
But now, the elf Luck did not show any indignation at the miserable experience of his family, which made Maca have to revise the original plan.
"I wait for the little elves, no matter which branch, they are loyal to the agreement." Old Luck's old voice seemed quite serious at this time, "If I am not willing to make an agreement, it is useless to force it. I would rather return my soul to nature, rather than suffer humiliation under any coercion."
"Old Ruck didn't know exactly what the war was like, but Old Ruck is sure that there must be a clear agreement in the end."
According to Ruck, the elf, there may be other more complicated reasons behind the little-recorded war in ancient times.
"...a promise...?" Maca frowned, "Then what do you think should be a promise formed at the end of that ancient war?"
"The old Ruck doesn't know it," the elder elf shook his head slightly, and said slowly, "but in this world, there must be at least one compatriot who still retains the original agreement. "
His wrinkled face has a sincere and natural expression, and his long big ears flicked slightly, seeming to be praying for a certain belief that Maca can't understand.
"...Unlike you humans, I and the elf clan engraved the'promise' in the soul." Luck said earnestly, "Every unfinished agreement will be in the blood of the setter. It is passed on from generation to generation until the day when the agreement is completed."
"Then...what did you make the agreement for?"
As soon as Maca's question was uttered, Old Rack gave him a puzzled gaze.
"Why?" He seemed to be unable to understand what Maca was saying, strangely, "Is it necessary to have a corresponding reason before an agreement can be made?"
Okay! It turns out that you can make an agreement with someone without even needing a reason? With this huge difference in basic concepts, Maca didn't know how to answer the conversation.
"Oh, maybe there is something wrong with my statement--" Maca turned around, "I mean, under what circumstances will you make an agreement with someone?"
"It doesn't matter," Old Luck said naturally, "As long as we want to make an agreement, whatever happens."
"Uh..." Maca blinked and suddenly said, "Then, I—"
"I won't make an agreement with you," Old Rack interrupted Maca's words instantly, and calmly said amidst his surprised expression, "Because I am on you, I feel that I want to occupy me Waiting for cheap intentions."
"Huh?"
Maca immediately raised his brow~IndoMTL.com~ blinked a little depressed.
He really wanted to take advantage of the situation to propose a so-called "agreement without a reason" to test it out, but he never thought that before he could say it, he was extremely decisively rejected by the other party.
"I haven't heard that the elves still have this kind of natural ability?" Maca secretly asked, "I thought they were a little stupid, but it seems that they still have enough capital to support them. ."
Of course, he is very aware of his Occupational Cerebral skills, and he is basically safe from being peeped into his heart among wizards. But the elf in front of him could still feel his own thoughts.
Even if it was mostly an unclear talent for sensing, it was enough to surprise Maca.
"Okay!" Maca, who suffered a small loss for no reason, shrugged and said, "In that case, forget it... Even if we don't make an agreement, we can still be friends!"
Failing to make a plan, another idea suddenly emerged in his mind.
