This matter was not that difficult to understand. With Jon's ability to understand, it was naturally not a difficult task for him to figure it out.
However, Jon did not expect that the relationship between Pippi and Helga was so deep. He originally thought that Pippi was just an ordinary Earthbound Spirit. He did not expect that he was actually Helga's secretary.
Secretary!
Did England at that time know what this word meant?
Jon's knowledge of Western history was not very good, but he vaguely remembered that in the Middle Ages, the so-called secretary was also a high-ranking official who dealt with the king's correspondence and private affairs. Was Naughty Ghost's ability so outstanding?
"Don't underestimate anyone. Pippi was raised by the Four Great Founders. His form of existence is very special, so in this school, his ability can be said to be one of a kind. Moreover, he has a very special relationship with the Hogwarts Castle. What you are seeing now is actually because of an unforeseen event that happened to the Hogwarts hundreds of years ago."
"... Unforeseen event?"
Jon was puzzled. He never knew of any unforeseen event that happened to the Hogwarts.
"Was it that attack in 1876?"
"Of course — not."
The fat monk shook his head, as if he had thought of something terrible and slowly narrated.
"Pippi's power is very special. Before that unforeseen event, he was the Principal's loyal secretary. The unforeseen event that I am talking about happened many years ago — around the fourteenth century. At that time, Pippi did not have this name. His name was Peter, and he was the leader of the Hogwarts Spirits. At that time, he almost helped the Hogwarts overcome many difficulties."
"And the unforeseen event that I am talking about was after the end of the last witch extermination war. After that, the Hogwarts Castle suddenly began to hibernate."
"Castle... hibernate?"
Jon thought that he had misheard. He knew that creatures could hibernate, but he did not expect that castles could also hibernate.
Is this a joke?
"Why can't castles hibernate? In the magical environment at that time, those who survived were all elite Wizard. There were quite a lot of talents among them, including Master Alchemists and those who have disappeared. "
Magic Compatibles?
It was yet another new term. Jon suddenly felt as if he had returned to a year ago. At that time, Helga had also taught him this, explaining to him the various terms that he needed to use.
Although Jon didn't quite understand what kind of profession a Magic Possessor was, it wasn't difficult for him to understand it with the fat cultivator's explanation.
After communicating with the fat cultivator for so long, the two of them had more or less reached a certain level of tacit understanding.
The fat cultivator could basically figure out what part Jon didn't understand, and then briefly explain it to him. Jon was also very smart, so he could basically figure it out with just a few pointers.
The so-called Mana Assimilator was a Wizard who had an excellent affinity with magic but couldn't store too much mana in their body. They could often accumulate a large amount of mana in an instant and convert it into mana. However, this mana needed to be released in a very short period of time, or the mana would escape on its own. In any case, it wouldn't stay in the Assimilator's body for long.
To put it bluntly, this kind of "Assimilator" was actually a mana channel, the kind that could be driven at high speed.
Of course, every existence had its own meaning. According to the fat cultivator, the Mana Assimilators had put in a lot of effort when building the castle's defensive facilities. Otherwise, with such a huge magical structure, even a legendary Wizard would have to spend a lot of effort, especially when Madam Ravenclaw was in charge of the design and Helga was in charge of the actual operation. Jon knew that Helga's defensive magic level was the weakest among the four of them. The ones who were good at it were Madam Ravenclaw and Sir Slythrin.
Otherwise, Helga wouldn't have gathered so many Wizard to deal with this work.
The fat cultivator didn't know that Jon had so much imagination on the basis of his words. He just said whatever came to his mind. Fortunately, he said it in detail, so Jon didn't feel that it was confusing.
"In fact, the Hogwarts' defensive capabilities were quite good. They even had a little self-awareness, or something like instinct. Because of this, Madam Hufflepuff was able to discover the existence of the Hogwarts in the first place."
"Refining a creature's soul into an artifact to create an alchemical life is a very risky act. The success that time was an accident. Although the evil Wizard used the Earthbound Spirit's curse as a trick, the fusion was successful in the end. In order to prevent this method from being copied by other evil Wizards, Madam Hufflepuff blocked the news. The one who blocked the news at that time was the specter."
In the past, when the magic environment was better, the specter's interference with reality was quite great.
With the energy provided by the Hogwarts Castle, the specters could perform short-distance and multi-frequency spells similar to 'Phantom Shift'. After the Hogwarts became the leader of the specters, the connection between the Hogwarts Castle and the Hogwarts became closer. About the beginning of the eleventh to the end of the fourteenth century, the three hundred years after Headmaster Hufflepuff passed away, the Hogwarts Ghost lived together with the castle. So after that incident, the Hogwarts Ghost suddenly changed. We also knew that the original Hogwarts Castle had long become a huge alchemical life. "
Chown was dumbfounded. "What happened next?"
"At first, the Hogwarts Ghost was in a deep sleep. After sleeping for several months, the Hogwarts Ghost began to feel that something was wrong, so he tried to find a way to awaken the consciousness of the castle. After several attempts to no avail, he lost control."
"The Earthbound Spirit Curse that had been sealed by the founders suddenly broke out. Peter, who had lost control, started a purge in the castle."
"He killed almost all the specters at that time. The only ones who survived were me, Helena, and Barlow. The specters of Gryffindor were almost completely slaughtered by him. Didn't you find it strange? The specters of the other three academies had extremely ancient histories, but why was the leader of Gryffindor's specters Nick, who died in the seventeenth century? "
"I was lucky that I didn't die. Hufflepuff's specters protected me. After that, Helena and Barlow worked together to suppress the curse that broke out in Peter's body. In the end, there were only a few specters left in the castle. Peter also gave up all his power and changed his name to the Hogwarts Ghost."
"These are the origins of the Hogwarts Ghost."
