The Ancient Wizards of Hogwarts.

Chapter 72 The theory of blood supremacy makes sense, but not much
"magic."

Professor McGonagall murmured and repeated it, and she asked seriously:

"Is this what you got from the literature? Don't lie to me!"

Ash responded calmly:
"In fact, it's something I was inspired by from ancient magic."

Upon hearing the words 'ancient magic', Professor McGonagall pushed up her glasses, but she did not interrupt Ash, but motioned for him to continue.

"The biggest difference between ancient magic and modern magic is that ancient magic is often more powerful, while modern magic is more subtle. This difference is not reflected in wands or spells, but in the difference in the 'magic power' of individual wizards !”

After a pause, Ash continued:

"For example, if the average magic level of adult wizards today is 1000, then the average magic level of wizards 100 years ago was 2000. And 500 years ago, this number might have been 1. 2000 years ago, this number It may even reach an astonishing 10!”

"One undeniable fact is that both the individual strength of wizards and the overall strength of the wizarding world have been declining."

Seeing that Ash's speech was getting more and more dangerous, Professor McGonagall forcibly interrupted him and asked in a deep voice:
"Are you a pure-blood supreme?"

Ash was stunned for a moment and asked in confusion:

"Of course not, why do you ask?"

Professor McGonagall frowned and said:

"I think a Pureblood Supremacy might like your point of view."

Ash waved his hand and denied:

"No, no, you may have some misunderstanding."

"I am very aware of the theory of pure-blood supremacy. They believe that the magic of wizards comes from the blood of wizards. Therefore, the purer the blood, the stronger the magic it possesses. And more and more Muggle wizards are Joining, the bloodline of pure-blood wizards was contaminated by Muggle wizards, which caused the power possessed by wizards to become weaker and weaker."

"The only thing I agree with about this theory is that 'the magic power of wizards comes from the bloodline.' But as for the continued decline of wizards' magic power, I think this has nothing to do with the bloodline, but has something to do with the decline of the magic power of the world as a whole. ."

"The magic power of the world is declining?" Professor McGonagall's expression changed slightly. This was the first time she had heard of this theory.

Ash explained in detail:
"In fact, I once met a mysterious wizard from the East. This theory was actually what he told me. He called this phenomenon of the overall decline of the world's magic power the 'End of Law', and the theory I proposed is actually It is built on the basis of the 'Dharma Ending Age'."

"Still with the example just now, the average level of magic power of an adult wizard today is 1000. If this wizard's parents are Muggles, then his magic power may only be 10 when he is born, and his magic power when he enters school is 100, and when he graduates, his magic power is 600. It will grow to 1000. When he truly matures and masters all kinds of magic, his magic power will gradually reach the peak of [-]."

"If this wizard is pure blood, then his magic power at birth may be 50. The magic power when he enters school is 200, the magic power when he graduates is 800, and his magic power peak will be about 1200, which only a very few powerful wizards can Break through this limit.”

"A hundred years ago, a Muggle wizard might have been born with a magic power of 100, but when he entered school, his magic power had already reached 10, when he graduated, his magic power would have reached 200, and when he reached adulthood, his magic power would have peaked at 1200."

"The pure-blood wizard will be slightly stronger. His magic power when he is born is 50, his magic power when he enters school is 400, his magic power when he graduates will reach 1800, and his adult magic power can easily exceed 3000." Ash paused briefly and gave Professor McGonagall took some time to digest, then continued:

"There is no doubt that the descendants of pure-blood wizards are generally more talented than the descendants of Muggle wizards. Even if there are occasionally one or two wizards with superior talents among Muggles, those are ultimately very few cases. It is for this reason, As a result, pure-blood wizards are extremely hostile to Muggle wizards, believing that they have polluted their noble blood, which will lead to the decline of the wizarding world."

"But if wizards can take a longer view, they will find that the strength gap between pure-blood wizards and Muggle wizards is not only related to blood, but also inextricably linked to time, and the influencing factors of the latter Bigger.”

"Just like the example I just gave, an ordinary Muggle wizard 100 years ago had slightly lower magic power than a pure-blood wizard today when he was born. But when he entered school, their magic levels were already the same."

"The magic level of Muggle wizards 100 years ago when they graduated was already equivalent to the peak magic power of today's pure-blood wizards, and their magic level as adults is far higher than that of most wizards today!"

"It's very simple to prove the data I proposed. I can easily find many examples, such as the Iron Armor Curse."

"Protego (armor protection)!"

Ash took out his wand and waved it gently, creating an invisible barrier in front of him. He then said:

"100 years ago, this was only a medium-difficulty spell, and Hogwarts students were required to master it in fifth grade. If you still couldn't learn the Iron Armor Charm in seventh grade, you wouldn't be able to successfully graduate from Hogwarts. . But I believe Professor McGonagall knows better than me what the current situation of Hogwarts is."

Professor McGonagall remained silent, because she knew that everything Ash said was true.

100 years ago, the Iron Armor Curse was still a compulsory subject for the fifth grade of Hogwarts, and any graduate was required to master it proficiently.

But today, 100 years later, even in Hogwarts, the most outstanding magic school in the world, fifth grade students do not even have the opportunity to be exposed to the Iron Armor Curse.It's not because the school is hiding something, but because today's students simply can't learn this curse.

Even among seventh-grade students, only a handful can learn the Iron Armor Curse.Even in order to allow most wizards to graduate smoothly, the OWL exam has long since canceled the practical exam for the Iron Armor Curse.

Even in the Ministry of Magic, there are only one in ten adult wizards who can learn and skillfully use the Iron Armor Curse!

Professor McGonagall sighed softly:
"Perhaps you are right."

She tried to refute Ash's point of view, but in the end she found that she couldn't find a strong enough argument.

Ash asked politely:
"Can I continue?"

"Of course." Professor McGonagall nodded slightly, but her expression became much more serious.

She is not one of those old stubborns common in the wizarding world. She has always been very tolerant of new theories and ideas.

What's more, she has realized that Ash's theory is feasible and has sufficient basis in reality.

It is no exaggeration to say that if Ash's theory can continue to be improved, it will definitely cause an uproar in the wizarding world!
