Shocking! The Professors at Hogwarts Actually...

In the later stages of the millennia-long Witch Hunt, the hundreds of thousands of women who were brutally murdered were indeed Muggle.

But that's because at that time, the rulers of the Muggle had completely forgotten the original purpose of the Witch Hunt.

In the early stages of the Witch Hunt, after realizing that they had suffered heavy losses and were no longer fit to fight the Muggle army, the wizards began to gradually go into hiding.

(The Curses of ancient wizards were not as powerful as those of modern wizards.)

Therefore, by the later stages of the Witch Hunt, wizards had disappeared from the sight of Muggle for hundreds of thousands of years.

In that chaotic and backward era of ancient times, hundreds of years were enough for Muggle to completely forget the existence of wizards.

In the eyes of people at that time, wizards and the like were nothing more than charlatans. It was due to the ignorance of the ancients that they mistakenly believed that these people truly possessed magical powers.

But things are different now. After hundreds of years of development, they are far more knowledgeable and powerful than the ancients. Those charlatans can't fool them.

Therefore, the Witch Hunt were exploited by the church at the time, becoming a tool for the church's upper echelons to eliminate dissidents. This is what is recorded in textbooks on the A History of Magic.

As for why the true history was not recorded.

Haha. People have pride, not to mention that most wizards consider themselves superior to Muggle.

So, are they supposed to record that they were once humiliated by slaves (House-elf)? And that they were once chased and swatted by Muggle?

They'd be laughed at to death by their descendants!

Delete them! Delete them all!

"But Bell, how do you know all this?"

Hermione glanced at Shanna beside her and asked suspiciously.

At this moment, Shanna also blinked her big eyes, staring at Bell with excitement and curiosity.

"Of course, I learned it from Family's Secret Ancient Texts."

As he spoke, Bell reached out and ruffled Shanna's hair.

In truth, given the Menethil Family's historical background, there are no records of them dating back thousands of years. After all, their family has only existed for a few hundred years.

Bell stumbled upon this knowledge by chance from the Black Family's collection.

The Black Family truly deserves its reputation as one of the oldest Pure-blood Family in the British Wizarding World. Putting aside everything else, their historical records alone far surpass those of the Menethil Family.

However, these treasures of the Black Family have now fallen into Bell's hands and become part of the Menethil Family's heritage. So, strictly speaking, Bell's statement is not wrong.

Hermione watched the loving interaction between the Bell siblings with suspicion and jealousy, but ultimately chose to believe her boyfriend.

"But Bell, I still feel so sorry for the House-elf. Like Lim, she always took such good care of us, and then... and then..."

"What happened in the end?"

Seeing Hermione suddenly freeze, Bell asked with amusement.

"..."

Yes! So what happened in the end?

Thinking about it carefully, every time she saw Lim, he always seemed very happy.

There are also three House-elf, including Ke Ersha, who usually work in the suitcase. They are always full of energy and I have never seen them unhappy.

Compared to the Little Wizard in Gryffindor House who practically cry and whine when it's time for class, the House-elf seem to be living happier lives.

So, although House-elf may seem to have a miserable life, constantly being enslaved and exploited, are they actually living quite well?

Looking at the House-elf coming and going around her, seeing their neat and clean work clothes and their energetic smiles, Hermione suddenly felt that these little guys might be living better lives than many wizards.

Compared to these House-elf, their Defense Against the Dark Arts professor from the previous school year— Professor Lupin —was practically a beggar.

Shocking! The professors at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, the best school in the British Wizarding World, live in a standard of living lower than that of House-elf who are slaves!? Is this moral decay, or simply a matter of human nature...?

Cough cough!

Hermione shook her head vigorously, trying to shake off the news headlines that had inexplicably popped into her mind. She felt like she had been tricked by Bell again.

How could anyone live a life worse than a slave?

Those were slaves!

(Bell: ┐(￣ー￣)┌)

It is undeniable that House-elf in some Pure-blood Family do suffer various forms of abuse. But in the Bell Family, this is completely nonexistent.

Moreover, thanks to the family's lavish spending of Galleon on buying House-elf over the years, more and more House-elf have been able to live happy lives.

"Huh?! Thinking about it that way, wouldn't I be doing Immeasurable Merit?"

Unfortunately, in their territory, merit cannot be used to aid in cultivation. Otherwise, Bell might have ascended to immortality in no time.

Ignoring Hermione's ever-changing expressions and her standing there in a state of confusion and silence, Bell continued walking forward with his sister.

No one can break the Blood Curse within House-elf, and no one would be the traitor to do such a foolish thing.

Therefore, Hermione's inner turmoil is completely meaningless. And the knot in her heart can only be untied by herself.

Boom! Boom!

A sudden rumble from the earth interrupted Hermione's troubled thoughts. She looked up in the direction of the sound and saw that the wizard and House-elf who had been walking in the middle of the road were now running quickly to the sides.

Confused, Hermione quickly ran a few steps to follow Bell to the edge of the road.

Soon, under Hermione's curious gaze, two giant stone statues, each about 20 meters tall, came into view.

"Bell, what... what is this!?"

The intense visual shock left Hermione's mind blank. Although she watched Shanna use the stone statues for combat training every day, these two were just ridiculously large!

"Gundam!"

With a grin, Bell was quite pleased with his girlfriend's reaction.

These two Gundam were created after Bell handed over his research results to Arakawa Rin, who then further developed and improved them.

Although it is only a prototype at present, it is already sufficient for transporting minerals at the Mars Base.

"By the way, why not design their legs to be tracked?"

Feeling the ground tremble, Bell looked at Will with a puzzled expression.

"Uh, this..."

Mr. Lin said that Gundam must be humanoid; a non-humanoid Gundam has no soul, and anything like treadles is heresy.

Although I don't quite understand what he means by all this, since he insists, there's nothing we can do about it.

Will shrugged, his face full of helplessness.
