There were many theories about the origin of magic, and it had always been the focus of debate in the academic world.
Among them, there was a saying that because humans worshipped nature, demons, gods, and elves, some of the talented people, who were later wizards, comprehended or learned magic from them. There were also magical creatures with powerful magic that mated with humans. Some of their offspring became centaurs, mermaids, fairies, or household elves. Some of them inherited better genes, maintaining their human form and gaining the ability to use magic.
These special descendants were believed to be the origin of pureblood sorcerers. This was also a widely accepted theory in the magic world because it could prove that pureblood sorcerers were special and different from ordinary Muggles. It could also explain why many pureblood sorcerer families had animals as their insignia.
The animal patterns on these family insignias were not ordinary creatures, but the ancestors of pureblood wizard families.
There were many of them, and they were all famous and powerful creatures that only existed in legends.
The older and nobler the pureblood wizard family, the more common this phenomenon was.
There was also a more logical origin theory, but it had never been recognized by wizards.
At the very least, not many Sorcerers could accept such an explanation from an emotional standpoint.
That was, the current magic system was inherited from the ancient warlocks of the previous era. This sounded reasonable and logical.
The ancient ruins discovered in recent years could also prove this point, and there were some very classic examples.
For example, the despicable Helbo.
He was the dark wizard who researched the snake monster, the soul vessel, and thousands of curses. He might have even turned himself into an evil god. This guy was the most famous dark wizard in history, and he was the creator of the modern black magic theory system.
At the same time, he was the last known ancient warlock.
This famous case proved the theory of the origin of magic to a large extent, but there was a problem, which was the main reason why wizards were generally unwilling to accept this theory. The magic and spellcasters of the Roman Empire were considered to be the legitimate successors of the ancient warlocks.
After the fall of the Roman Empire, the Eastern and Western Churches fought for the identity of the Roman Empire's magic heir for more than a year. They both thought that they were the legitimate heirs of the Roman Empire and did not recognize the legitimacy of each other, nor did they recognize the existence of wizards and magic. They even launched countless holy wars and witch hunts to defend their orthodoxy.
Just as Gryffindor said, they didn't know if it would hurt the real wizards. However, they achieved their original goal, which was to deprive the wizards of the right to inherit the magic civilization of the Roman Empire.
For most of history, wizards and the church were opposed to each other mainly because of this.
The church's behavior was very successful. They defended their orthodoxy. Even now, no wizard would think that they and the church's magic had the same origin. The wizards would not accept it emotionally. They would rather believe that the church's magic power came from those powerful magical creatures.
Although everyone used magic, their origins were different. One was divine magic, and the other was heresy.
Of course, in the era of Elwyn, no one would not care about this.
The members of the Church who could use magic, like the Wizards, were all in hiding, or had formed a strict system to manage everything and keep it a secret, leaving most of the world to the Muggles. The magical creatures were also very low-key, living only in specific protected areas.
But now was more than a thousand years ago, and the situation was completely different. Both the church and the wizards were very active …
Although the current situation was not as tense as the witch hunts, a cardinal of the Roman Church actually dared to visit the Hogwarts. This was a very bold move. It also showed how powerful the church was, and compared to them, the magic world was weaker …
"Who's the big shot in the carriage outside? Is it the Peverell family? Clive always brags about how rich his family is. "
"Don't be silly. Don't you see those pegasi?! Only the church has them. A pure-blood wizard family can't afford them. "
"Really? I'm a Catholic, and so are my parents … "
"Don't talk about this in school. You're a wizard now. Those believers are just Muggle's way of saying it."
A few minutes later, an old man wearing a white robe and a red cloak slowly walked into the hall of the Hogwarts Castle. He was holding a long scepter in his hand, the top of which was in the shape of a cross.
The old man had a smile on his face. He should be the cardinal. Elwyn clearly felt the atmosphere become tense. No one welcomed his arrival, and no one even stood up. Everyone was sitting upright in their chairs.
The atmosphere was completely different from before. Almost all the wizards were staring at the cardinal.
Their gazes were filled with fear, curiosity, and unreserved hostility. Some wizards even pointed their wands at him.
However, he did not seem to notice this. He was not affected by the magical pressure in the air at all.
He slowly walked to the high platform, like an ordinary old Muggle man. He greeted the four founders, the older wizards, and the important figures of some pure-blood wizard families in a friendly manner, as if they were very familiar with each other.
Elwyn stared at him for a while, then turned his head to look for the guy from the Malfoy family in the crowd.
He did not find him. He did not know where he was hiding or what his expression was like.
Although a lot of things had happened, his plot had succeeded. As long as the cardinal could prove that Ravenclaw's Coronet was fake …
Elwyn had to admit that he had underestimated this plot.
Ravenclaw's Coronet was very important. It had become a symbol of wisdom. If it was proven to be lost, especially if it was proven that it was stolen by her daughter, it would indeed be a huge scandal. It would cause a huge uproar in the magic world. It could also have the effect of hitting the Ravenclaw family, and the motion would not be passed.
However, it seemed that it was not enough to reshuffle the current power of the magic world.
However, if the forces of the Vatican were involved, it would not only be a matter of the Hogwarts and the magic world!
The Malfoy family, who could contact the Vatican, seemed to have a more complicated plan.
There was also the unstable internal affairs of the Hogwarts.
