Connor's Hogwarts

"My. choice?"

Am I a wizard or a human? When he heard this question, Connor realized that this Slytherin was different from the other two founders.

Gryffindor's test of Connor only valued Connor's "heart". In fact, he didn't care much about Connor's strength. What he wanted to test at the beginning was just whether Connor had a "heart" that would protect his companions. , what he values ​​​​is not so much "the courage to fight against the enemy", but rather "the courage to protect others."

Ravenclaw is even simpler. She doesn't care about your personality at all. As long as you are capable enough, know enough, and have a good brain, she will recognize you.

But Slytherin was different. Connor had never thought before that this old man, who had a bad reputation both thousands of years ago and now, had such a pure starting point - [I just don't believe in Muggles].

To be honest, Connor agreed very much with this gentleman's point of view. As the saying goes, people who are not from our species must have different minds, and wizards and ordinary humans whose fundamental conflicts cannot be reconciled will definitely not be able to coexist peacefully forever.

The reason why wizards can still maintain such a transcendent status is because the "enemy" does not understand wizards well enough. Once there is a perfect opponent, wizards who are at an absolute disadvantage in numbers will definitely not be able to defeat Muggles. , it is not impossible to set off another "witch hunt".

However, all of this is based on the fundamental contradiction that "cannot be reconciled." If this fundamental problem is solved, many things will be different.

"So, what's your answer?" Slytherin looked at Connor with bright eyes, and Connor could even see the anticipation in the green flames of his eyes.

"That's my answer." Connor chuckled and shrugged: "Before answering this question, I want to discuss another question with you."

"What?"

"Even without us wizards intervening, wars between Muggles are still going on all the time. Even without magic, war is never far away. What do you think of this?"

"Oh, the so-called war is, in the final analysis, just a struggle for interests. There is never any right or wrong. Arrogance and greed are the original sins of mankind. Not to mention Muggles, wars between wizards have never been absent. The three splits of the Holy See are The result of the war between wizards. War is an eternal theme of mankind. As long as there are disputes of interests in this world, war will never disappear."

"It can be said that before this, all the wars between Muggles and Muggles, and the wars between wizards and wizards, were all about competing for the resources that each of them needs. And there is basically not much resource conflict between wizards and Muggles. Yes, wizards can be self-sufficient without humans, and the absence of wizards among humans will not affect their recuperation."

"But I also said that there must be a war between wizards and Muggles, but what this war is fighting for is not the resources we each need but the right to survive! Just like a kingdom will not have two kings, we wizards A war with Muggles is different from an ordinary war after all. This is a war in which the entire race may be destroyed if defeated!"

Slytherin sighed: "So, I have to get an answer from you. Once a wizard with extraordinary talent like you is lucky enough to be unsteady in favor of Muggles, once you make a wrong decision, it will affect all wizards." It's a disaster, I can't possibly teach my knowledge to someone who doesn't recognize his identity as a wizard, do you understand?"

This is almost an open-book exam. Slytherin obviously thinks highly of Connor, but he has seen through Connor's soul and knows that he was a Muggle in his "last life", so he is worried that Connor will betray his identity as a wizard.

But as long as Connor admits from the bottom of his heart that he is a wizard, then Slytherin does not mind handing over what he has learned throughout his life to Connor. He believes that a genius like Connor who stands on the wizard's side will lead the wizard out of a new era. A future of more possibilities.

This is more of a deal than a test. As long as Connor nods, he will get a rich inheritance. He seems to have no reason to say no.

"wrong."

Seeing Connor shake his head, Slytherin's eyes became darker and darker: "Oh? Don't you agree with my point of view?"

Connor curved his lips and smiled: "Yes, and no. In fact, you are partly right. War is an eternal theme of mankind. As long as there are interest disputes between mankind, war will never disappear."

"However, I do not agree with your view that there must be a battle between wizards and Muggles."

The flames in Slytherin's eyes dimmed visibly: "Are you not even willing to stand on the side of your own bloodline? Connor, your innocence will lead all wizards to the grave!"

"Listen to me first," Connor shrugged and smiled: "Although I can answer you, I am indeed more inclined to admit my [human] identity, but I still hope you can listen to my point of view."

"." Slytherin said calmly, "Just tell me."

"There are no permanent friends or permanent enemies in the world, only permanent interests. I don't think we need to argue about this point?"

Slytherin nodded, said nothing, and seemed a little uninterested.

"Then based on this premise, I feel that if the enemy Muggles can be turned into friends, the so-called war will naturally not be inevitable."

"Oh, what a naive idea. I said that the fundamental conflict between wizards and Muggles is not a conflict of interests at all! It is impossible for Muggles who cannot use magic to allow wizards like us who are far more powerful than them to exist without control. ! With your naive idea, wizards can only have two futures, either becoming the sharp sword of the Muggles in power, becoming their dogs, and gaining a foothold by selling our power! Or being completely eliminated, Wizards will disappear from the Muggle world, be hunted, killed, and become consumables in laboratories!"

"Do you want your descendants to accept this fate!?"

Slytherin became more and more angry as he spoke, and the magical wind spread out from his stone body, as if he wanted to use this method to wake Connor up.

But Connor was not moved at all. He waved his hands and smiled: "Don't get excited, sir. I will not let the future you envision happen no matter what. I am not that naive, and"

"I think this is how we wizards treated Muggles thousands of years ago. Look, don't others still live well to this day?"

"." Slytherin's "guess" is naturally not an unfounded association. It is actually difficult for human imagination to transcend the limitations of reality. The reason why Slytherin thinks that future wizards will be treated this way is just because he I know that this is how wizards in the past treated Muggles.

Use magic to enslave powerless Muggles, and use Muggle bodies to conduct various magic experiments. In fact, the history of wizards is not glorious at all, and they are not qualified to put themselves in the position of victims. Most of the darkness and ugliness of human beings are generally insignificant. Second, don’t laugh at anyone.

"Similarly, even if wizards in the future are treated this way, then we won't really be genocidal. There will always be ordinary children who awaken the power of wizards, and they may become Spider-Man, Wolverine, X The living environment for war police and the like will be relatively harsh, but it is actually impossible for wizards and Muggles to fight to the death."

"."

"There is a saying in the Far East that [origins are born from the same root, why rush to fry each other], which means that roots and roots are both eggs laid by the same hen. It is actually the same whether you fry it first or I fry it first. , anyway, everyone is finished in the end.”

".?"

"In short, I think there is no need to draw a clear line between wizards and Muggles. In other words, over the past few hundred years, the relationship between wizards and Muggles has actually become a bit separated. There is almost no communication between us. This This phenomenon is actually bad. Without communication, there will be no progress. This is very detrimental to both parties, and it is a waste of resources for mankind! This is not the right path!"

"I kind of understand. When you talk about wizards, you call yourself [us], but you also say that your position is [humanity]. Therefore, you think that wizards and Muggles are actually members of the human race. The position you chose Not Muggles, but myself as a [human]?"

"That's right!" Connor snapped his fingers: "I have never denied my identity as a wizard, and what I do in the future will not harm my interests as a wizard. However, I think we need to raise our horizons a little higher. , Muggles should never be our enemies, they are just [wizards] who cannot use magic, and we are all humans."

"Haha, you have a good idea, but this cannot deny the fact that you are naive. Do you think others will have such naive ideas as yours? Why would a Muggle without power recognize your identity as a [human]? ? Why would a powerful wizard be willing to sit on an equal footing with a group of [imbecile]? I need a reason, a reason that can convince me."

"Of course, I have two things to convince you. One is the magic stone created by Teacher Nicoléme."

"The other one is a blueprint. I call this machine--"

"[Magic Generator]."
