Chapter 24: cruel wizarding world
Arthur is a burly wizard with thick eyebrows and big eyes.
On the way here, through the letter of introduction from the old assessor, Melon had some information about him.
The grade is less than 20, but it is already a key training target of the Meteorological Association. It is also very famous in the local young wizard circle, and belongs to the top group of young mixed-race wizards.
And Arthur is still studying at Canterbury Wizarding School. He is said to be very talented in combat and is highly valued by the school's professors—
Although Canterbury is not a top school in the entire wizarding education world, it is also in the ranks of the second-tier elite schools.
As a half-blood, being able to make it in a school of that level can already prove his ability and potential.
All in all, Arthur is a young talent with a promising future.
However, it is such a guy who is destined to have a bright future, and the words he speaks are so unpredictable.
"You heard right."
The location of the Meteorological Association was a lively manor, and the two were standing under an old oak tree in the back garden of the manor.
Arthur, who was as burly as a hill, was half leaning against a tree at this moment, with a pipe in his mouth, and while swallowing clouds, there was no expression on his stern face.
"I learned about the matter of Mentor Edward and your association's von der Leyen grabbing a newcomer yesterday, and I know your face through the reflection technique."
"Your image is my fiancée's favorite type, so I want you to seduce her."
"If you agree, I will give you this blue water heart as a reward. Using it to match the water storage magic is much better than ordinary water storage beads, and has some other effects."
While speaking, the burly man took out an aquamarine gemstone pendant strung with a silver chain from his trousers pocket.
This looks like a good treasure. In modern times, it is estimated that there are no tens of millions that can't be taken down.
Meren was a little moved when he saw this, but he still asked in a hesitant tone.
"So, what's the reason?"
As a well-informed modern traveler, it's not that Mellon has heard that some people are born with green hair and like their wives or girlfriends to be played with by others.
But I heard Gui Heard, but he had never encountered it before.
Now this guy doesn't look like a person with this kind of hobby?
Mellen believes that there may be a hidden meaning, and the premise of his actions is to understand the specific situation first.
Otherwise, if one accidentally falls into the pit, there will be nowhere to cry.
"You haven't heard about me?"
Arthur raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, and his tone was a little displeased, as if he thought Merron was teasing him.
However, seeing Merron's dazed look at the moment, it really didn't seem like he was cheating, and the big man with short light blond hair immediately understood.
The man in front of him in the wizarding world is indeed a pure newcomer...
"Well, many people know about this matter, and I have nothing to be ashamed of."
After taking a deep breath of the tobacco in the pipe, the blond man said lightly: "First of all, I need to emphasize that in this matter, I am a complete victim. And I asked you to help, in fact, in A retaliatory counterattack."
When he spoke, he looked like an old smoker with smoke coming out of his nose, and with his complicated complexion, the whole person seemed to feel the vicissitudes of life.
Merron stood beside him with a look of listening intently, and then heard something that made him feel a little sick.
"The Meteorological Society split from your side five years ago. We specialize in all kinds of magic related to changes in the natural environment, and we are running a related newspaper."
"We hope that in this way, we can serve the popular science of the world's natural phenomena for all wizards, and indirectly improve the right to speak for our mixed-race class."
Arthur first talked about the background.
"My fiancee, Martha, and I have loved to delve into this aspect of magic before we left the Half-Blood Society."
"And we were very pure at the time, thinking that as long as we can prove that hybrids are useful in the wizarding world, then our status will naturally improve."
"But when we went to Canterbury Wizarding School together, that mentality changed."
"Or rather, recognize the more real side of the world."
Speaking of this, Arthur glanced sideways at Meren, "Have you ever been in contact with a pure-blood wizard?"
"No." Merron shook his head.
In fact, there is, but Mellen feels that his kind of contact may not be the same as the normal mixed-blood contact with pure blood, and it is not representative.
"So, do you know what will happen to our mixed blood entering a school where most of the students are pure blood?"
"Excluded?"
"That word is not enough to describe what happened to us."
Arthur sneered and said: "humiliated, suppressed, framed, even assassinated."
"Purebloods are absolutely dominant, but they never miss the slightest opportunity to target us. It's not out of contempt, but fear."
"They are afraid of hybrids, just like an old lion fears a young but talented lion. They never consider that this lion is also the blood of the lion, they will only fear that one day, This cub will replace the Lion King as the next leader of the pride."
"But who's to blame for all this?"
As the blonde Arthur said, he snorted involuntarily.
"Why are most mixed-bloods illegitimate children? Because those pure-blood wizards who claim to be noble have always been unable to control their lower bodies, and they have absolute power, so they have never been stingy with coercion or semi-coercion. They are venting their own desires among ordinary people.”
"The chance of a half-blood wizard being born is very low, but can you believe it? A wizard once calculated that the number of half-bloods born every year is more than twice that of pure-blood wizards!"
"My fiancée and I are pure people. We only wanted to use our efforts and future to contribute to the wizarding world as a whole."
"The school's tutors also often enlighten us to focus on our studies and not be affected by external factors. One day, this general environment will change."
"But... can't stand it."
"I really can't bear it anymore. After seeing the ugly faces of those pure bloods, how can we endure their unscrupulous suppression?"
"So, you resisted?"
"If that's the case, it's still good. Even if you die, you can say there are no regrets."
Arthur's expression was indifferent, but his tone was very sad, "I want to resist, but my fiancee Martha thinks that we can't help them right now, so she thought of a way."
"any solution?"
"My main opponent in Canterbury at the time was a pure-blood student named Jim Ernest, he was jealous of my grades, and even more jealous of the school professors looking at me rather than him, so he was always against me, and he was also the main bully One of our half-blooded pure-blood leaders."
"So Martha thought that maybe she could use her opponent's fiancee's identity to pretend to surrender and contact this Jim, so that she could find some weaknesses in Jim and fight back."
This plan is truly the essence of the Tauren...
Mellon muttered to himself and asked, "Is that Jim a playboy?"
"how to say."
Arthur said hesitantly: "It's not really, I've never even heard of him having a relationship history."
"Then how did your fiancee approach him?"
If you don't make contact as a boyfriend or girlfriend, how can a normal surrender see weakness in others?
"That's what **** me off the most, but I didn't think about it at the time."
Arthur said: "Because Jim was pushing so hard during that time, I agreed with Martha's plan. Because if we don't find a breakthrough here, then there may be nothing else for us other than the unbearable dropout. choice."
"Then?"
"And then my fiancée became Jim's girlfriend."
Merron understood, and his eyes were filled with pity as he looked at Arthur.
"Obviously, your fiancee has been secretly connected with that guy."
Arthur was stunned when he heard the words, and then he couldn't help but glanced sideways at Meren beside him.
"You're very smart. If you were there, we might not have been fooled."
"But we didn't realize it at the time."
"At first we were expecting some useful information from Martha, but gradually, we found that something was wrong."
"When we finally confronted her, we finally reacted."
"The truth is, that **** Jim saw that we wanted to quit, so he secretly contacted my fiancée, promised her a lot of benefits, and hoped that she would keep us delayed in school so they could keep humiliating them."
"During that time, we endured ten times and a hundred times more difficulties than before, but because we felt hopeful, we kept clenching our teeth, but I didn't expect that in the end..."
"It's too disgusting, isn't it?" Melon couldn't help but stunned.
He had thought that the wizarding world might be cruel in some ways, but he didn't expect it to be so naked, but...
"Disgusting?"
Arthur sneered, "But this is a very refreshing thing in the eyes of some pure-bloods, and Jim has also gained a lot of applause because of it, and he can say that he is out of the limelight."
"And my fiancee didn't suffer. Although her reputation was bad, the benefits she got were real."
"To show off, Jim even took her with him whenever he was out in public. Purebloods were nice to her, too, because they wanted to set her up as an example, so that more half-bloods would do the same."
"But because of this, our encounters are being spread over and over again in the nearby wizarding circles. The pure blood sneered at me, the mixed blood scolded me for not being good enough, and now I can't even lift my head up in front of the association's own people. …”
Melon then completely understood, UU reading www. uukanshu. Why did this guy in front of me make such a weird request before.
Now that I think about it, this requirement can't be called weird, and it can even be said to be very mild.
However, after learning about the details, Mellon would not agree to such a thing—
Although he is very confident in his appearance, facing that kind of woman, it is not easy to make her "forget about the benefits"...
"I don't think the way you chose to retaliate was appropriate and not happy at all."
That's why he said, "You should start with Jim, after all, he's the one who started it."
"I've thought about it."
Arthur shook his head and said, "But Jim is a very cunning person, and there are no flaws on the surface. I don't think we can play him."
"What about his family?"
Mellen asked casually.
Although it's best not to hurt the family, but since everyone has opened this hole, Arthur shouldn't be pedantic and still want to be a good person, right?
"I have investigated, his father is the current deputy director of the Department of Magical Transportation, and his mother serves on the Wizards Supreme Court."
Arthur denied: "It's not something we can fight."
"Are his parents in a good relationship?"
"His parents are divorced."
When Arthur said this, he sneered.
"A few years ago, a female professor in Fort St. Grant and her husband, who was the director of the Legal Enforcement Department, had a divorce. Jim's mother had a good relationship with the female professor, and he was instigated to get divorced... Back then This is a big joke in the wizarding world, and it's a pity you haven't heard of it."
Mellon heard the words thoughtfully.
"Then... Jim's mother, how does she look?"
