Chapter 125 The reason for being enslaved forever (please subscribe, please vote)

Hogsmeade, Lockhart's study.

In the originally dark study room, a circle of sparks suddenly appeared.

Immediately afterwards, Lockhart stepped forward with a dark blue ballton bird named Gugu sitting on his shoulder, followed by a house elf gold coin.

With Lockhart's gentle wave of his hand, instantly, the entire study, including the corridor and living room outside, lit up.

Lockhart looked at the gold coin in rags in front of him, sat on the chair, put Gugu on the desk next to him, and asked directly.

"Gold coins, tell me about your current situation and the fairy magic you have mastered."

The timid Jin Coin immediately bent down, made a deep bow, then raised his head sharply and said loudly: "Master, Jin Coin used to be a house elf of the Avery family."

"The only master now is you, and your will is the lifelong pursuit of gold coins."

"The gold coin will fully obey all its master's commands."

Hearing this, Lockhart frowned slightly, but he also knew that this was the typical character of a house elf, so he directly ordered: "Don't talk about gold coins."

"First tell me about the magic you have mastered."

"Okay, Master." Jin Coin nodded quickly, and then replied loudly: "Master, currently, I have mastered the teleportation spell, the repel spell, and the invisibility spell."

Hearing the series of magic bursts from the gold coin, Lockhart raised his eyebrows. After waiting for the gold coin to reply, he asked curiously: "Gold Coin, where did you learn magic?"

"Master, part of it was taught to me by my mother." Jin Coin replied loudly: "And part of it was learned naturally as I grew up."

"What's the approximate proportion of magic you've comprehended yourself?" Lockhart asked with interest.

Jin Coin frowned and fiddled with his fingers. After a while, he said with some hesitation: "Master, I have mastered a total of 27 kinds of fairy magic, about 70% of it."

What!

Hearing the gold coin's answer, Lockhart's heart seemed to stir up a thousand waves.

In an instant, he knew why the house elf was so miserable.

Without him, the potential is too strong.

Although 27 types of magic may not sound like much, ordinary little wizards can master thirty or forty types after training.

However, the little wizards have been trained, and even some little wizards still have difficulty mastering it after years of training.

House elves, on the other hand, are naturally capable of mastering it.

what does that mean?

A huge threat!

To ancient wizards, even though house elves sought peace, their potential was sin.

And being weak is the original sin.

Ancient wizards would not let go of any race that might threaten their status.

Especially a race that cannot beat itself.

Now Lockhart asked himself, if he had discovered the potential of house elves, he would not have let it go.

And the reason why the ancient wizards didn't exterminate them was probably because they saw the potential of house elves.

No wonder he was so cruel.

This is entirely done from the perspective of eternal slavery.

At this time, Lockhart's eyes looked at the gold coins a little differently, full of desire to study.

Being born with the ability to master magic has absolutely nothing to do with blood.

But soon, he suppressed his desire for research.

He is not in a hurry. The gold coin is now his house elf. According to the character of the house elf, he will never refuse any request he makes.

Even if it means suicide!

As far as he knew, the house elves of the Black family were proud to hang their heads on the exhibition wall even before they died.

Lockhart then asked the gold coin a few more questions.

The gold coins were told truthfully one by one, and Lockhart's understanding of gold coins became deeper and deeper.

The deeper the understanding, the more pleasantly surprised I feel. This purchase was indeed the right one.

Gold Coin's fighting ability is no weaker than that of ordinary wizards, and the most important thing is his loyalty, which there is no need to question.

The thoughts, education, and instincts he received all spoke of loyalty—loyalty to his master.

At the thought of this, Lockhart's eyes flashed with excitement.

Looking at the gold coins in front of him, Lockhart felt more and more joyful. Then he gently waved his wand and pointed at the rag the gold coins were wearing.

In an instant, the originally gray and even dirty rags began to turn into clean black, then quickly transformed and expanded, covering Jin Coin's entire body.

Finally, the gold coin appeared in front of Lockhart, dressed in black clothes, somewhat like a Gringotts goblin.

Seeing this, Lockhart nodded with satisfaction. He still had certain requirements for beauty, and he really couldn't stand gold coins following him in rags every day and doing things for him.

This is a potential contamination of one’s own soul.

Bang bang bang!

When Jin Coin looked at his very neat clothes, he felt a little frightened, so he kept hitting his head on the ground with loud bangs.

While smashing it, he shouted loudly: "Master, the gold coin is wrong, so don't drive it away. The gold coin obeys the master's orders."

"Jin Coin doesn't want to wear this outfit and wants to wear the original one."

Looking at Gold Coin's movements, Lockhart frowned slightly, sighed, and directly ordered: "Gold Coin, raise your head, don't move."

Upon hearing Lockhart's order, Gold Coin, who was banging his head on the ground, immediately raised his head and remained motionless, fully respecting Lockhart's instructions.

Seeing such gold coins, Lockhart felt a little headache.

House-elves have some really good habits, such as being loyal, not betraying, obeying orders, taking pride in working, and being ashamed of laziness.

But some of their house elves' traditions over the years have been criticized.

For example, just now I kept banging my head on the ground or wall, praying through self-mutilation.

This made Lockhart quite uncomfortable.

He wasn't much of a Holy Mother, but he simply felt that it would be very difficult to communicate with such a house elf.

Just changing clothes suddenly triggered their tradition of wearing rags, and they began to mutilate themselves.

If he were an outsider, he would be able to watch the show as if it were a melon. After all, watching the excitement is not a big deal.

But now it’s up to my subordinates to do it without having a headache.

After thinking for a while, he said directly with a commanding tone: "Gold Coin, you will wear this outfit from now on. Keep it clean and don't embarrass me."

"You have to remember that I am a professor at Hogwarts. When I go out, your dress and behavior will affect my face."

"So, I order you to keep your clothes clean from now on, and don't bang your head against the ground or wall." If you behave like this again.

Upon hearing Lockhart's order, Gold Coin's wide eyes immediately burst into tears, and he shouted with gratitude: "Thank you, master, thank you, master."

"As long as the master orders it, the gold coin will definitely do it."

Well, in house elf tradition or worldview, clean clothes mean that the owner is disgusted with them.

That’s why Gold Coin’s reaction just now was so exciting.

But Lockhart's explanation and order.

For Jin Coin, who had been taught that his master's orders were greater than the sky since he was a child, he immediately abandoned the so-called tradition.

In particular, Lockhart specifically mentioned that his actions would affect his face.

He instantly knew how important he was to his master.

For house elves, there is only one thing they pursue in life, and that is to please their master and increase their status in their master's heart.

This is why Lockhart believes that ancient wizards' methods were a bit ruthless.

Can normal races and normal beings have such thoughts?

It is completely artificially distorted.

However, Lockhart simply complained that he was very happy for this race that was completely loyal to wizards.

Well, a double standard is a double standard, and Lockhart has never denied that he is a double standard dog.

Since he has enjoyed the benefits, he will not pick up the food to eat and put it down to scold his mother.

Then, Lockhart looked at the gold coins in front of him and fell into deep thought, hesitating a little. Should he participate in tonight's plan?

After all, it had just been less than 24 hours.

After thinking about it, I made a decision in my heart.

So he closed his eyes slightly and felt the mark he left on Elf Nott's body in Gringotts.
