"The gift of the Goddess of War, Kerrigan!" Elwyn suddenly thought of the magical concept of "bloodline inheritance".
When he was reading ancient magic books, he had seen this term more than once, so he did the corresponding research.
This term might be very unfamiliar in modern times. Most sorcerers had never even heard of it, so they did not know what it was talking about. Some even thought it was a concept made up out of thin air, but it was still occasionally heard in the ancient Middle Ages.
Only in the most ancient and pure-blooded Sorcerer families could a bloodline be passed down.
It was very rare, and the probability was very low, but it was not impossible!
To understand this rare and special magic, one must first know the origin of the sorcerer's bloodline.
The bloodline of sorcerers was very strange. Unlike the Muggle, most pureblood sorcerer families traced their roots back to some powerful magical creature in ancient times, such as the so-called incarnation of the gods in the human world, or some kind of animal born with great strength and intelligence, and so on.
The information Elwyn found gave an example. The ancestor of the pureblood sorcerer family was a wild boar …
Although it was very curious how a wild boar and a human sorcerer could produce offspring, it was the truth.
The union between a human and a magical creature was very common in the magic world at that time, and most pureblood sorcerers were proud of it.
Of course, this kind of union had many restrictions, and the requirements for the magical creature itself were very high.
It did not mean that a random wild boar or other magical creature could give birth to a pureblood sorcerer family.
These magical creatures that lived in ancient times had very strong magic power, so they had many rare characteristics. Although their power could not be directly passed on to their descendants, those characteristics could be passed on through the bloodline.
This was the so-called bloodline inheritance, and it was also the source of the strength of pureblood sorcerer families and normal sorcerers.
To put it simply, the stronger and more special the abilities of the ancestors, the more noble the descendants would be.
This kind of nobility was not reflected in the noble status, but referred to the special abilities of the direct members of the family. According to the different abilities of the ancestors, different pureblood sorcerer families had different characteristics, and the method of inheritance was also different.
For example, the Slytherin family had a snake-like accent. The ability to converse with snakes was not a skill that could be learned through hard work. It could only be acquired through bloodline. Or, like Harry, it could not be mastered by others.
Of course, such a rare method of power inheritance was practically extinct now, and it was very difficult to see it again.
Because the bloodline of a pureblood Sorcerer had become very impure, the power hidden in the blood had become extremely thin and could not be seen at all.
Although they constantly tried to continue this power by inbreeding and breeding, it was to no avail.
True intermarriage within a family would only result in death. Although the purity of the bloodline and the integrity of the inherited characteristics were maintained, the last few generations of members would become irritable and their intelligence would greatly decrease. This was an inevitable result.
Just like Lord Voldemort's uncle Morfin Gunter, as the last member of the Gunter family, he could not even communicate normally. He only knew how to speak in a snake-like accent, and he had a rough temper and a cruel personality. Together with his father, he caused the tragedy that followed.
Intermarriage within a family was an extremely barbaric practice. The common strategy adopted by pureblood sorcerer families was to marry with other pureblood sorcerer families, so that the power of the family's bloodline could be spread in a small area.
It was a good idea, but in reality, it did not help. The way to obtain the power of bloodline was not as simple as a simple conversion.
Until now, the so-called pureblood sorcerer families like the Malfoy family originally had very thin bloodlines. Pureblood itself would not bring them any benefits in terms of power and strength, it was only a symbol of status.
From Elwyn's point of view, this had become a shackle that firmly locked them.
They constantly promoted the idea of "Pureblood Glory" to highlight their noble status, looking down on other sorcerers, and even pinned their hopes on Lord Voldemort, hoping that he would lead them back to the past to find the lost glory …
Their way of thinking was actually very sad. Slowly decaying with the development of the times, it was the last struggle of a pureblood family towards decline.
Although this was the situation now, the power of bloodline inheritance still existed in the Middle Ages a thousand years ago.
The Ravenclaw family was the most obvious example. This ancient family was believed to be the direct descendants of the Raven incarnation of the Goddess of War, Kerrigan. They were likely to have obtained some special ability from the Goddess of War.
Through some means, this family could always ensure that there would always be an inheritor from generation to generation.
Although Elwyn did not know what special ability they had obtained, it was undoubtedly very powerful.
The Ravenclaw family was one of the top sorcerer families at that time, ruling the entire magic world for thousands of years.
From the information that could be found so far, this influence was not limited to Britain, but even the whole of Europe.
However, this influence quickly declined after the death of Lady Rowena Ravenclaw, and became negligible!
Her daughter, Helena, died in the forest of Albania because she stole the Coronet.
The other members of the Ravenclaw family did not obtain this power, and this once prominent ancient family slowly disappeared from history.
From the current situation, it was very likely that Rowena Ravenclaw voluntarily gave up this power, which she called the gift of the Goddess of War, Kerrigan, but at the same time, it was also the power of a curse.
The more powerful the power, the more restrictions there were to use it, and the greater the price that needed to be paid.
This was very obvious when it came to advanced magic, and it was not as simple as just paying magic power.
Rowena was a very smart person, and was even once called the wisest sorcerer. Of course, she could weigh the pros and cons, and make the wisest choice, although this choice was impossible to understand in the eyes of those who pursued power.
"You are already a great sorcerer!" Gryffindor took a step forward. "There is no need to change anything, I like you as you are now …"
