HP: White Lord of Slytherin

Chapter 106: Views on Muggles

The golden dragon appeared in the distance. Draco was not as surprised as others. He still remembered the first time he went to the golden dragon's nest, a group of little dragons climbed onto his head and his platinum hair was almost pulled out.

Gloria walked silently to his side, knowing what the boy was thinking. She remembered that she had to take out five magic gems to redeem the person from the young dragon.

"Maybe you should have continued to use hairspray, so the dragons would just slide down your head and not get pulled out of your hair."

"Lori," Draco said helplessly, "Forget about that."

"Is that a golden fire dragon?" Pansy couldn't believe it. She stood behind Gloria and watched the golden fire dragon breaking through the black clouds.

To Muggles, this kind of fire dragon belongs to myth and legend, but to wizards, it is a real creature.

Draco said, "I remember those goblins in Gringotts liked to follow the golden dragon a long time ago."

Ever since he saw these fire dragons, he has been reading related books on purpose.

"Not only that, they will also steal the gold and gems inside bit by bit." Theodore, who has been taciturn for many years, said quietly, "They dare not steal too much for fear of retaliation, but they will dig up the mountains near the nest, and there is a high probability that they can dig out gold veins."

Zabini shook his head and sighed, "Fortunately, there are no greedy and cunning elves near Gloria's manor."

When I arrived at Slytherin Manor, I saw how amazing the background of a pure-blood family that has existed for thousands of years is.

I just went outside to take a look, and there were three castles alone. It is hard to imagine what kind of secrets and treasures are hidden inside these majestic buildings.

In addition, since Gloria revealed her identity, the secret major shareholders of major companies have revealed their real surnames in the signatures on the investment contracts. The Slytherin family is not only incredibly wealthy, but the various companies they have invested in the wizarding world alone represent a huge network of contacts that she can use as long as she is willing to use them.

The crisp clicking sound of high heels stepping on the floor approached, and a woman with long black curly hair, black layered mesh, and a dress decorated with dark gold floral embroidery stopped not far from them.

Seeing Gloria looking at the woman, Draco turned his head and said, "I met her when I went to Germany during the summer vacation. She is Sophie Meyer. Her grandfather was one of the core members of the Witch Party and a powerful assistant to Grindelwald at the time."

Zabini also came over, "If Wenda Rosier is the assistant in public, then Meyer is the assistant behind the scenes."

Gloria looked at Sophie's profile and said, "I know this family."

My grandfather had records of what happened during the Grindelwald period. He was still very young at that time. He said that traveling in Europe during that period was very influential, as there were always dark wizards trying to test him endlessly. He witnessed the rise and fall of the Wizarding Party.

Because there were too many wizards involved in Europe at the time, the Ministry of Magic chose to arrest those with serious crimes, and the Meyer family was inevitably liquidated.

But Meyer was originally behind the scenes, and he insisted that he made some mistakes because of coercion. He then used his family's influence to unite with many wizarding families, and finally got away with it at a small price.

At this time, Sophie looked at Gloria, walked over with light steps, passed Draco and squeezed Daphne aside without leaving a trace, "Ms. Slytherin, I have always wanted to meet you, but unfortunately you have always been very low-key. After more than half a year, I finally have this opportunity."

"We're talking about your family," Gloria said without hesitation.

"I heard that. In fact, regarding the war that almost broke out decades ago, I often wonder what the situation would be like if it had succeeded." Sophie said softly, "Everyone here is a pure-blood family. There is no need to be so taboo."

Draco didn't say anything. This was Gloria's home court, so of course she had to speak first. The others also kept silent.

Sophie kept her eyes on Gloria, looking forward to her answer.

"What will happen?" Gloria laughed. "If the Muggles discover the existence of wizards, the powerful aliens will unite many Muggles to fight against the wizards together and find ways to capture them alive for research. They did this a thousand years ago, but they were still very weak at that time."

Sophie's smile faded, "You think Muggles are very powerful now?"

Gloria laughed, a dark light flashed in her eyes, and her silver pupils contracted abnormally for a moment.

"Powerful?" She said the word slowly.

The people on the field unconsciously moved closer to them, all curious about what the Slytherin heir thought of Muggles.

"In Slytherin Manor, no one can disrespect me, including questioning me." Gloria stared at Sophie with her silver eyes, "Watch your attitude."

Sophie clenched the goblet tightly, feeling as if she was being stared at by a poisonous snake. Her body stiffened unconsciously, and she wanted to refute but couldn't open her mouth.

The hall fell silent, waiting to see what would happen next.

"Actually, I'm curious about your views on Muggles." Gloria looked around. "Does anyone want to express their opinions?"

"No magic?"

A wizard said in a teasing tone, and the crowd laughed sparsely.

"Weak."

"arrogant."

“Shortsighted.”

……

Everyone present spoke out what they thought of Muggles, and none of them had good words to say.

"Muggles are very weak. They have no ability to resist wizards with wands. They are extremely greedy and exploit all available resources, even destroying the living environment and other creatures. They are selfish and cruel, and often go to war and kill each other." Gloria's voice was not loud, but it echoed throughout the hall. "Of course, not every Muggle is like this."

Gloria then asked, "Does a wizard's life matter?"

"Of course it is important!" someone responded immediately.

"How many Muggles are needed to buy a wizard's life?" she continued to ask.

No one answered this question.

"Stupid question, isn't it?" Gloria said. "A wizard's life is precious, no matter how many Muggles there are, it can't compare to it, but what number would a Muggle put?"

Draco was stunned for a moment, feeling that it was a huge number.

Gloria raised her hand and said, "In my opinion, Muggles are becoming more and more adept at using the tool of 'science', just like we become more and more proficient in using wands over time, so exposing ourselves to them is not a wise choice."

"Then do you think that in the future wizards will have no choice but to continue hiding when facing Muggles?" Sophie asked again, her tone much slower.

"We are from two different worlds." Gloria looked down at her and said, "Never underestimate the Muggles' greed for powerful forces, especially those of high status. Believe me, they would definitely be willing to sacrifice the lives of 100,000 Muggles in exchange for the capture of a wizard. For thousands of years, as long as they were discovered, they would immediately study the mysteries of our magic and find ways to plunder us."

After a while, someone asked, "You mean, you don't approve of starting a war, and wizards can only live in the shadows forever, avoiding those Muggles."

"Muggles are like sheep. Why should we confront them head-on? We can just be shepherds and control the situation from behind the scenes." Gloria said calmly, "As a wizard, of course I want to have a world that belongs only to wizards. However, the time is not right yet and the major destabilizing factors have not been resolved. When the time is right, I will send out invitations to everyone."
