[Comprehensive] I am not Michael

It is definitely impossible for the orphanage to provide any decent education, but, as a subsidiary institution under the church, Little Tom is no stranger to the legendary demons, vampires and werewolves.Even at a very young age, after hearing about the blood prince, he still didn't know what was going on.Therefore, when he overheard Zhao Changqing carrying three blood princes and so many werewolves alone, Zhao Changqing's strength had been deeply engraved into his soul.

What made him even happier was that the other party had always taken him by his side, as if it was a normal thing for him to go home with him.

If it was said that on the way to the hospital, little Tom was only worried about Zhao Changqing and had no intention of looking around at all, then now, like every toddler, he is lying on the window of the car, looking outside curiously.Different from his peers, he would look back at Zhao Changqing from time to time, and if Zhao Changqing happened to look at him, he would climb down and sit down, but after a while, he couldn't help but be fascinated by the scenery outside the window. Attract attention.

Although he had imagined it many times in his heart, when the car drove into Rose Manor and the majestic castle came into view, Little Tom still couldn't help but widen his eyes.

In his eyes, that old castle was no different from a palace—he had read about Buckingham Palace in the newspapers, and in his eyes, Buckingham Palace was nothing more than that.Not to mention, the castle is full of exotic decorations.

What made little Tom even more happy was that Zhao Changqing settled him on the second floor.

What I want to explain here is that according to the British, they are used to calling the first floor built on the ground a basement.Because the servants' rooms are on this floor.Of course, many large study rooms and reception rooms in the manor are also on this floor.The second floor, which is the first floor in the British population, is the main living area of ​​the owner's house.

Zhao Changqing's suite is on the second floor of the main building (the British say it is the second floor, but it is actually on the third floor). Below his suite, the suite belonging to the heir has always been vacant.Even his godson, Zhang Lingjun's son Shen Yannian, never moved into this room.Zhao Changqing did not put Tom in this room, but put Tom in the next door to this room, which is the suite below the hostess suite, the room of the heir's wife.

The young Tom didn't understand the meaning of this arrangement, he was just very surprised why he couldn't live with Zhao Changqing on the second floor, but he heard that his room was the closest to Zhao Changqing among all the people in the manor, he also agreed Satisfied.

Accompanied by his maid, he excitedly visited his room—the butler, John Holden, had already prepared everything when he heard that Zhao Changqing planned to adopt an orphaned wizard: there was a small study room and a special room in the suite. In the game room, all kinds of enlightenment books and toys for infants and young children from the wizarding world filled the two rooms to the brim, which was enough for the cub to consume his vigorous energy and ensure that he could fall asleep early.

On the other side, Zhang Lingjun has already completed all the documents that can be handled for the adoption of Tom Marvolo Riddle.After the annual leave is over and the relevant government agency registers, the child will be settled in Rose Manor.

Zhao Changqing looked around for a while, and said, "Where is Yannian? Did he visit a classmate's house?"

Because of his health, Zhao Changqing had to spend Christmas in the church hospital.Once Christmas was over, however, he set off for home.He originally thought that he would be able to see Shen Yannian as soon as he returned to Rose Manor, and it was actually quite polite to ask Shen Yannian to visit his classmate's house.

Zhao Changqing is actually very clear about how contempt the little wizards from Hogwarts have on ordinary people. Even if they don't realize it, most people will use the word Muggle on their lips, and some will Contempt for his parents.

In Western society, disobedience to parents is a means for children to show their individuality, but in the tradition of Orientals, it is a great sin to despise parents.

When Zhao Changqing learned that Shen Yannian was studying in the wizarding world, he had a premonition that Shen Yannian might have fallen into the second grade because of those weird ideas in the wizarding world.

Hearing Zhao Changqing mention his son Shen Yannian, Zhang Lingjun blushed.She hesitated for a moment, then whispered: "Yannian applied to spend Christmas at school this year."

Zhang Lingjun did not make excuses for his son, nor did he explain that his son did not attend Qiangwei Manor because of the exam or his employment intention after graduation.In fact, as an orthodox Chinese, Zhang Lingjun was quite dissatisfied with his son's behavior of not returning home.

In the Chinese year, you said that you can't come back to school, I can understand, but why don't you come back in the Western year?Isn't it school holidays?

Zhao Changqing said: "Does Yannian have plans to further study?"

Zhang Lingjun raised his head in surprise.

Zhao Changqing shook the document in his hand—it was prepared by the housekeeper John Horton.

"Even if he graduated from Hogwarts, he is still young. He is still too young and has little knowledge of the world. Of course, in the small place of the wizarding world, whether it is doing business or trying to be the only one, there is no sense of accomplishment at all. "

Butler Holden has been silly.

He was a Hogwarts graduate after all.

As for Zhang Lingjun, she widened her eyes and said, "Sir, why do you say that?"

Zhao Changqing looked at Horton next to him, and then said: "Do you know how many pure-blood families in the wizarding world have a population? Take the British wizarding world as an example. The total population of the British wizarding community does not exceed 2. At the same time, the British wizarding community More than two-thirds of the annual population growth is due to the fact that children born in the world of ordinary people continue to study in the wizarding world, and then they are brainwashed by the wizarding world during the seven-year schooling process, and stay in the wizarding world after graduation. And in China , even after years of tyranny and war, a slightly larger town still has a population of 30. If it is a provincial capital, it must be at least 2. Even Great Britain has a population of tens of millions. If you want to seek political development , Why do you want to stay in the wizarding world? It’s so fun to compete for the position of a village official? No matter how good the goods are, what price can you sell for a big village with [-] people?”

Outside the door, Little Tom, who came to thank Zhao Changqing for getting a new room and countless gifts, was dumbfounded. He opened the door in a daze, and said to Zhao Changqing, "Why? Shouldn't we use magic power more? Is it excellent?"

Zhao Changqing beckoned and let Little Tom approach, and then said to Little Tom: "If wizards are really so good, then the current wizards will not be like this, hiding in the wizarding world shivering, even among ordinary people. The world will be accused or even thrown into prison for using a spell. If wizards are powerful enough, they should be worshiped by ordinary people like the current Holy See, so that ordinary people will willingly send money over and over again. The status quo of the wizard is the best embodiment of the strength of the wizard."

Little Tom was dumbfounded: "How could this be..."

He is not stupid, on the contrary, he is quite smart and has considerable mobility.Just like the matter of "finding a father", although he was only three years old, he was able to discover the biggest difference between himself and other children, and then analyzed that the difference was very likely to come from blood, and based on this, he decided to use snakes. language to find my father's plan.

It is rare for a three-year-old child to think of this.

However, for a three-year-old child, this kind of truth is cruel and terrifying, especially when the child is still living in the orphanage with the thoughts of "I have magical powers" and "I am born nobler than them". survived.

Zhao Changqing looked at this three-year-old kid and knew that there were some things that he had to explain today.This kid is very smart, but the smarter the person, the more terrible the mistakes he will make once he goes astray.

Now that this kid is already his own cub, Zhao Changqing doesn't want to cause countless troubles for himself because he didn't correct the other party's concept in time.

Zhao Changqing thought for a while, hugged little Tom in his arms, and said, "Our little Tom is so cute, he must be very popular with the nuns in the orphanage."

Little Tom blushed, and whispered: "It used to be. However, more and more people said that I was a child of the devil, and the nuns gradually disliked me."

If it is said that the nuns in the past often gave little Tom more food than others because of his cuteness, then now, with the rejection of little Tom by other children, there are frequent fights, and non-stop The nuns were beginning to get annoyed at the sight of children being hurt by Tom's magic.

The best proof is that Tom is now getting much less food than before, and has been locked up several times.

With a wave of Zhao Changqing's hand, the tea leaves and water in the teapot on the desk flew out, turning into a bunch of villains.

Zhao Changqing pointed to those villains and said: "The difference between ordinary people and wizards is like these villains. They are all flesh and blood, and they all have thoughts. The difference is that wizards have a little more magic power than ordinary people, so ordinary people People are jealous. What will they do?"

Little Tom remembered what happened to him in the orphanage, and immediately said: "If it is a wizard and an ordinary person, the ordinary person will stay away from the wizard and hide for fear of being hurt. If it is a wizard and a group of ordinary people, the ordinary person They will unite to bully wizards."

"Correct."

With a wave of Zhao Changqing's hand, villains with more tea leaves in their bodies, representing wizards, were tied to the cross one by one, just like the suffering Jesus, while ordinary people with less tea leaves in their bodies raised their fists to those representing wizards Hit the wizard's little man.

"This is what the witch hunt movement looked like at the beginning. It was all because of jealousy, jealousy of others having special powers, jealousy of others having more than oneself. Although wizards have special powers, their number is too small, and they There are also times when the magic runs out and their cubs also have weak infancy, and when they are left alone, danger and death can follow.Witch hunts have been practiced throughout medieval history, even 200 years ago, in France And many city-states in Germany are still implementing the witch hunt. Because of the witch hunt, the population of wizards is getting smaller and smaller, and the population of wizards is getting smaller and smaller, and their overall strength will decline, which will directly lead to Their population is also declining faster and faster. Under the vicious circle, wizards finally completely lose their ability to compete with ordinary people, and can only huddle in the hidden world. This is the wizarding world today."

Little Tom was stupid, and so was the butler Holden.

He said in a daze, "In your heart, is there no difference between a wizard and an ordinary person?"

Zhao Changqing said calmly: "If it is explained according to the old and new testaments, when the benevolent God created Adam, the ancestor of mankind, he gave Adam his own blood, that is, divine blood. Although Adam returned to the kingdom of heaven later, he became the Messiah , but human beings are still multiplying on the earth, and the divine blood is passed down from generation to generation in the human body. Even if it is diluted to the limit, the divine blood is still flowing in the human body. And the divine blood is also the last life-saving gift given by God Amulet. Of course, depending on the situation, there will be different manifestations. Sometimes, on some people, the divine blood will also show a dominant effect."

Holden swallowed his saliva, and said again: "Then, what about wizards?"

"According to the history of wizards, many wizards used special methods to seal the power in their blood in order to save their lives during the witch hunt, or to protect their children and their families. These people and their descendants lurk in the ordinary Among people, marrying ordinary people, the blood is diluted little by little. Until the end of the witch hunt movement for nearly 200 years, until people have gradually forgotten the existence of wizards, with the shrinking of religious forces and the rise of science, People no longer hunt and kill wizards, and the blood of wizards is reunited with marriage. When the blood is thick enough, children born with magical powers will naturally appear. The so-called Muggle wizards may be some ancient wizards. The descendants of a great wizard may not necessarily be. It's a pity that human beings are not a race with inherited memories. Without the guidance of their elders, when young wizards enter the wizarding world for the first time, they can only become puppets of some people and chess pieces."

Little Tom immediately tugged at Zhao Changqing's sleeve and said, "Father, I, I don't want to be a puppet or a pawn."

Little Tom could almost blurt out the words, and when the words came out of his mouth, he realized that he actually called his father!

Little Tom was terrified.

He was afraid that Zhao Changqing would feel that he had offended him, and he was even more afraid that Zhao Changqing would throw him out of the manor.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Changqing was not angry, nor did he deny it. He just patted his head and said, "Yes, our little Tom is not just a puppet or chess piece for others."
