Chapter 182 The Purifier
Lu Ren was a little confused. As for what, he was about to be killed when they met. Isn't that too crazy?
Spurius sighed and briefly introduced the Purifiers to Lu Ren.
The Cleaner is the codename of the most evil organization in the wizarding world. Death Eaters are younger brothers in front of them, let alone saints whose mainstream is idealists.Compared with the purgers, the Death Eaters can definitely be called "the pillars of the country" and "the light of humanity".
The reason is also very simple. Although the Death Eaters crazily persecute Muggles, and don't like to see bitch wizards and half-blood wizards, at least they are quite biased towards pure-blood wizards.The Cleaners are not, they hate the entire wizarding world!
Yes, indiscriminate hatred, no matter whether you are pure blood, mixed blood or hemp, as long as you are not a purger, you are the target of their purging!
Later, in order to explain why the purgers were so crazy, Spurius told Lu Ren a thrilling history: a history about wizards in the ancient land of America.
All of this originated in the United States in the 17th century, to be precise, the continent of America.
Long before Columbus discovered the American continent, wizards in Europe and Africa communicated with magical groups among Native Americans.In fact, the communication of ancient wizards was earlier than Muggles imagined. As early as the Middle Ages, magical societies around the world had begun to communicate with each other.
By the time Columbus came to America, wizards in America could already use broomsticks and apparation to travel.At this time, the local wizards were no different from other places. Individual wizards were accepted by the aboriginal tribes, and even highly respected in the tribes.They either have a reputation as witch doctors healing the sick, or as excellent hunters in the tribe.However, most of the remaining wizards are considered to be possessed by evil spirits and are often suppressed.
Native American wizards are slightly different from European wizards. They used to be less dependent on magic wands, and their talents were more focused on magic related to animals and plants. American wizards even far surpassed Europe in the field of potion production.Animagus and Apothecaries among Native Americans can perform complex magic without using a wand.
As No-Maj Europeans (American wizards call Muggles No-Maj, the source is the continuous reading of no magic, its pronunciation sounds a lot like 'No-Maj') began to immigrate to the New World, there are also more European witches and wizards Settled in America.These wizards are the same as the fellow No-Majs. They have many reasons for leaving their homeland. Some of them yearn for adventure and hope to make a fortune in the New World, but most of them want to escape: the people who persecute them are European No-Majs. melons, or wizards or even the Ministry of Magic in their homeland.These wizards blended into the crowd or hid in the wizarding group of Native Americans, and the native wizards of the Americas, like the local natives, accepted and sheltered these compatriots from Europe.
Despite the protection of kind American wizards, the environment in the New World was extremely difficult for the European wizards who had just arrived here.
First of all, the magic system here is not as perfect as in Europe, and there are almost zero facilities. There are no pharmacies, wand shops, and magic schools here - and naturally there is no Ministry of Magic.This caused wizard immigrants to search for raw materials for preparing potions among unfamiliar magical plants.Later, the world-renowned Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry had only a simple hut, two teachers and two students at that time.It can be said that these new immigrants are the blue threads of the road, and they have started a life in the New World from scratch by opening up the mountains and forests.
The second is the atrocities committed by the No-Maj settlers.The bad natural environment is not a big problem, the root of the problem is always people.
The blood debt they inflicted on the Native people affected the relationship between Native American wizards and alien wizards.What's more, the No-Maj who came to America were mainly Puritans, and the religious beliefs of these people also made it difficult for them to tolerate any signs of magic.Even if there is no evidence, it is easy to become the target of the Puritan accusation, so the witches and witches of the New World have always been in a turbulent environment.
Thus, the Scavengers were born.Their origins are very complicated. There are native American wizards whose families have been ruined, "awakened ones" who have awakened magical talents among the Puritans, and dark wizards and wizard mercenaries from Europe—yes, before the 17th century, a large number of wizards devoted themselves to The secular world became court mages or mercenaries. This situation was not curbed until the implementation of the "International Federation of Wizards' Secrecy Law" in 1692.Nearly Headless Nick, the ghost of Gryffindor, is a court mage.
Because the magical world in America was small, scattered and hidden at that time, and had not yet formed its own law enforcement mechanism, this group of people gradually became popular and formed a terrifying and brutal organization.For various purposes, they have committed blood debts - the sins of these people, the death eaters and saints tied together, can't compare.
These people, not only hunt anyone who can be used in exchange for bounty.This behavior maintained order at first, but as time passed, the scavengers became more and more corrupt.Lacking authority over the Ministry of Magic, many of the Scavengers became greedy and indulged in acts of brutality incompatible with their mission.These scavengers relish bloodshed and torture, and even go so far as to traffic their fellow wizards.By the end of the seventeenth century, the number of scavengers in America began to multiply.There is evidence that the Scavengers even sold some innocent No-Majs as wizards to the Puritans in the community who were keen to judge wizards in order to get paid.
Eventually, the Salem Witch Trials took place, and more than 20 people were executed, including quite a few witches.This event shocked the wizarding world and greatly damaged the relationship between American wizards and No-Majs. Many wizards and wizards fled America, and many decided not to settle here.This matter directly affected the ratio of the magic population in America. Compared with the three continents of Europe, Asia, and Africa, the local magic population in North America began to undergo subtle changes at that time.Until the early 20th century, America's wizards and witches still represented a smaller proportion of the total population than the other four continents, and few pure-blood families traveled to the Americas.
This event was also the direct cause of the birth of the Magical Congress of America.After the birth of the Magic Congress of the United States, they fought fiercely with the Eliminators. The hatred between the Magic Congress and the Eliminators has accumulated from generation to generation and continues to this day.
So far, the mysterious veil of the land of America has been completely lifted by Spruce. Lu Ren knows the past of this land, and knows the shadow behind the prosperous American magic world and the undercurrent surging under the calm.The jigsaw puzzle of the wizarding world in his mind became more complete.
This chapter mainly talks about the history of the American magic world, and at the same time introduces a new force "Scavenger". Every place is as close to the original as possible.You may not know that in the chapter on the troll, the original book clearly stated that the troll appeared on the second floor of Hogwarts, and the school hospital was also on the second floor, so Lu Ren and Malfoy, who had diarrhea, ran into the troll head-on. reasonable.The rest of the fanfic seems to be blurring here - everyone went to save Hermione, but my main character foolishly went to save Malfoy, which was a real breath of fresh air. (proud, smug face)
Of course, I also added a little bit of my personal understanding to this chapter-I have always tinkered with the official story framework and used my imagination.
Book friends who don’t like research settings in this chapter may think it is very watery, but this chapter is actually an important batch, but it will take a long, long time before you realize this.
Finally, I wrote the book to explore the magical world in my childhood, so although this chapter has nothing to do with the current tutoring line, it fits my original intention of writing. I hope you like it, but if you don’t like it, I can’t demand.At least you know the history of the wizarding world in America, don't you?I don’t know these things just by reading the original.
(This chapter is the wedge of the main line later, so important that I can't delete or abbreviate it at all, so it is definitely not a word count!)
I wrote such a paragraph mainly because I was afraid that you would think: Wow, this author put a long paragraph to set the word count!Spicy chicken!Then delete the book and leave...
So, don't leave me!
