Chapter 724: The Power of Pure Blood

"Gift from the goddess of war, Morrigan!" said to Aven's sudden thought of the magical concept of "bloodline". Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

He had seen the word more than once when he was looking through ancient magic texts, and he had done his research accordingly.

The term may be so unfamiliar today that most wizards have never even heard of it, don't know what they're talking about, or think it's a concept made up out of thin air, but they still hear it occasionally in the old Middle Ages.

It is only in the oldest and purest pure-blood wizard families that it is possible to have a bloodline lineage.

Very rare, very rare, but not impossible!

To understand this rare and special magic, you must first know the origin of the wizard's lineage.

Wizards have strange bloodlines, unlike Muggles, most pure-blood wizarding families trace their ancestors to some kind of powerful magical creature from ancient times, such as the so-called incarnation of gods in the human world, or some kind of animal born with great strength and intelligence, etc.

One example of the information that Evan found was that the ancestor of the pure-blood wizard family was a wild boar......

While it's curious how wild boars and human wizards give birth to offspring, this is exactly what happened.

The combination of humans and magical creatures was very common in the wizarding world at the time, and most pure-blood wizards were proud of it.

Of course, there are many restrictions on this combination, and the requirements for the magical creatures themselves are very high.

It's not like just a wild boar or some other magical creature can give birth to a pure-blood wizard family.

These magical creatures that lived in ancient times were very powerful in their own right, and therefore possessed many rare traits that could not be passed on directly to future generations, but those traits could be passed on through blood.

This is the so-called bloodline inheritance, and it is also the root of the strength of the pure-blood wizard family and ordinary wizards.

To put it simply, the stronger and more special the abilities of the ancestors, the more noble the descendants.

This nobility is not reflected in the nobility of status, but refers to the special abilities possessed by the direct members of the family. Depending on the abilities of their ancestors, members of different pure-blood wizard families have different traits and pass on their legitimities.

For example, the Parseltongue of House Slytherin, the ability to talk to snakes is not an acquired skill that can be learned through hard work, this trait can only be acquired through bloodlines, or like Harry, others simply can't grasp it.

Of course, this rare way of inheriting power is almost extinct nowadays, and it is difficult to see it.

Because the bloodline of pure-blood wizards has become very impure, the power hidden in the blood has also become extremely thin, and it is impossible to show it at all.

Although they keep trying to perpetuate this power by inbreeding, marriage, and reproduction, it does not help at all.

The only result of true intermarriage within a family is perdition, and although the purity of the bloodline and the integrity of the inheritance traits are maintained, the last generations of members become irritable and have a greatly reduced IQ, which is the inevitable result.

Like Voldemort's uncle, Morfin Gaunt, as the last member of the Gaunt family, he could not even communicate normally, only spoke Parseltongue, and had a rude temper and cruel personality, and he worked with his father to cause the tragedy that followed.

Intra-family marriage is a very extreme and barbaric practice, and the common strategy adopted by pure-blood wizard families is to combine with other pure-blood wizard families to spread the power of the family's blood in a small area.

The idea is good, but in reality it doesn't help, the way bloodline power is obtained is not as simple as a simple proportional conversion.

Until now, the so-called pure-blood wizard family like the Malfoy family has been very thin, and the pureblood itself will not bring them any benefits in terms of strength and strength, it is just a symbol of status.

In Aven's view, it became a shackle that held them firmly.

They constantly promoted the idea of "pure-blood glory" to highlight their own nobility, looked down on other wizards, and even pinned their hopes on Voldemort, hoping that he would lead them back to a bygone era in search of lost glory......

This kind of thinking of theirs is actually very sad, slowly decaying in the development of the times, and it is the last struggle of the pure-blood family that is heading for decline.

Although this is the case today, in the Middle Ages, a thousand years ago, the power of bloodline transmission still existed.

The most obvious example of this is the Ravenclaw family, an ancient family that is believed to be the direct descendants of ravens incarnated by the goddess of war, Morrigan, who most likely received some special abilities from the goddess of war.

In some way, the family can always guarantee that there is a successor for generations to come.

Although Evan didn't know what the traits they had acquired, they were undoubtedly very powerful.

The Ravenclaws were one of the top wizarding families of their time, ruling the wizarding world for millennia.

From the information available so far, this influence is not limited to the United Kingdom, but even extends to the whole of Europe.

However, this influence quickly waned after the death of Lady Rowena Ravenclaw, and became minimal!

Her daughter, Helena, died in the Albanian forest in disgrace for stealing the crown.

The rest of the Ravenclaw did not gain this power either, and this once-prominent old family slowly faded from history.

Judging from the situation at hand, it is likely that Rowena Ravenclaw voluntarily gave up this power, which she called the gift of the goddess of war, Morrigan, but at the same time the power of a curse.

The more powerful the force, the more restrictive it is to use, and the greater the price to pay.

This is evident in the advanced magic, and it is not as simple as just paying magic.

Rowena was a very intelligent person, even known as the wisest wizard at one point, and she could certainly weigh the stakes and make the wisest choices, even if they were incomprehensible to those who sought power.

"You're already a great wizard!" Gryffindor took a step forward, "There's no need to change anything, I like you like the way you are......"

"Godric, you don't understand the pain this power brings me. Ravenclaw stared at Gryffindor, the blue in his smart eyes became deeper, and said calmly, "I also want to have feelings like a normal person, not to judge what I should do based on your words and actions......
