Luke shivered at the sudden sound. The ball of light at the tip of the wand barely held on.
Fortunately, his character was quite calm, and he calmed down after a while.
He took a deep breath and looked in the direction of the sound.
It was a test bench, and in front of the test bench sat a man wearing a gorgeous robe, but he looked extremely messy. He looks pretty handsome, but his face looks like an old monkey because of his slovenly manner.
Of course, these are not the most important. The most important thing is that his body is transparent and emitting a weak white light.
Although he already had a guess about this person's identity, he couldn't help but swallow. After truly considering himself a member of the Gaunt family, Luke already had considerable respect and admiration for this ancestor. But now, that ancestor appeared in front of him, and still in this state... This made it difficult for him not to be too shocked.
"you are……"
His tone was slightly hesitant. The ghost over there didn't look very impatient. He glanced at Luke and said, "I am your ancestor. Salazar Slytherin."
Although what he said didn't sound very nice, if you look deeper, it really wasn't an insult.
People should not become angry because others tell the truth.
"Okay, Slytherin ancestor. My name is Luke Gaunt."
Luke has calmed down his mood, although he has a good impression of the ancestor in front of him. However, the reserved habits developed in aristocratic etiquette still allowed him to maintain a calm state as much as possible.
Slytherin looked at Luke's posture that was neither humble nor arrogant, and nodded slightly. Then he continued: "You'd better not touch that information. That information doesn't have much meaning. It's just a semi-finished product."
"Semi-finished product?"
Luke was a little surprised. He is not a novice in research. Although most of his energy is not used in this, he has never eaten pork, but he has seen too many pigs run away.
Whether it was the research notes of various ancestors left in the family, Taylor's potion development notes, or Hermione and Professor McGonagall's notes on the derivation of magic formulas, he had read them all.
The material in front of me is clearly organized, and the core research content is written at the beginning, and the feasibility has been verified. Even this powerful effect made Luke want to try it.
After all... nothing else. If he fuses the blood of the basilisk, he might gain the dead eye ability of the basilisk. Of course, no matter how bad it is, you can still obtain the powerful magic power of the Basilisk and greatly enhance your own magic power reserve.
What's more, it's not just limited to basilisks, fire dragons, unicorns, even phoenixes and unicorns, they all have the possibility of fusion...
"Don't think too much. The probability of obtaining special abilities in this experiment is not high. Moreover, obtaining powerful magic expansion depends on luck and is not stable."
Slytherin seemed to see Luke's thoughts at a glance, and poured cold water on Luke without hesitation.
"Furthermore, conflicts between bloodlines are inevitable. The consequences of such conflicts are alienation of the body and destruction of the mental state. Since your surname is 'Gaunt', I don't want you to become less human and less beastly." of."
Although his attitude didn't sound very good, his concern for Luke was genuine. After Luke heard his description, he immediately thought of Voldemort.
Compared with Tom in his teenage years, Voldemort later was really not smart enough. While his power was much stronger, his strategies became even worse. Of course, his appearance also hit rock bottom in a landslide-like trend.
It’s not that you don’t look good without your nose. But his nose is gone, his hair is gone, his face is pale, and the whites of his eyes are red. Even if you say this is a monster, Luke will believe it.
"It seems like you thought of something again."
As if he could see through Luke's thoughts, Slytherin explained again: "A child got this research material from the secret room above. It seems that you know him. Is he an acquaintance? Or did he break in? Got some tricks?"
Luke looked at Slytherin's calm posture and said seriously: "He almost destroyed the entire British wizarding world."
Slytherin's brows instantly frowned.
After a moment, he said: "It seems that this information is not completely useless... after all, it still has some effect."
Luke couldn't help but the corners of his mouth twitched. From what this person meant, it was probably that almost destroying the British wizarding world was just a trivial matter, not worth mentioning, and could only be regarded as a small achievement.
Thinking about it from his perspective, Luke felt relieved. Let’s not talk about whether Slytherin had any concept of the British wizarding world at that time. Even if he did, other wizards would be incompetent in front of Slytherin. Hit it. The only ones who can catch his eye are probably the other three among the four giants.
For such a person, destroying the British wizarding world is indeed no more than a small achievement.
"Whatever you say is what it is."
With that said, Luke put down the information in his hand. After thinking of Tom's ghostly appearance, he had completely lost interest in this thing. He does want to become stronger, but he also knows very well that people are all visual animals. It is more difficult for a leader with a hateful appearance to win people's hearts than a leader with outstanding appearance.
He does not intend to use high pressure, power and coercion of strength to maintain his organization like Tom. So a handsome face is still very important.
"Put down the compound magic on your wand. The lighting spell, the fire spell, and the explosion spell. It can be seen that you have done a good job in controlling the subtle spells. But it is still too rough, even if there is no external pressure, you alone If you lose your focus, this thing will explode in front of your eyes, and it will be difficult for you to protect yourself."
Slytherin glanced at the ball of light at the tip of Luke's staff, and casually revealed the truth about the ball of light.
This is of course not just a lighting thing. It is a powerful compound magic that can explode. This thing tests the wizard's control and is very dangerous. What's more, not every compound magic can have powerful effects.
Many spells are quite useful when used alone. But when combined together, there will be a special offset. Luke was able to research this thing, in addition to his own efforts, luck also accounted for a considerable degree.
Luke dispersed the ball of light in a good-natured manner. Although from the current point of view, this ghost who might be Slytherin had no ill intentions towards him. But the vigilance should still not be relaxed. Even if you relax on the surface, you must move to a higher level in your heart.
"Ancestor Slytherin, your current state is..."
The Slytherin in front of him was in a state similar to that of a ghost. But to be honest, he really couldn't figure out why Slytherin turned into a ghost.
"It's the state of the missing body. I used magic to extract part of the memory, and then used special magic to intercept the independence. It formed the person I am now."
Slytherin had no intention of hiding anything from Luke, and clearly informed Luke of his current state.
This description reminded Luke of his experience in the Room of Requirement, so he asked curiously: "Is this special magic the result of Ms. Ravenclaw's research?"
Slytherin's remembrance body looked at the younger generation in front of him in surprise, then nodded and said: "It is indeed Luo Yina's work. I used Luo Yina's method to leave my remembrance body."
"You seem to have seen something like this?"
Luke shook his head and said: "I haven't seen it with my own eyes, and it seems to be different. That room...may be the place where Ms. Ravenclaw buried her legacy. Just like the secret room you left behind."
Slytherin frowned slightly: "It seems that you know a lot about our story. You even found the location of Luo Yina's treasure."
Luke smiled reservedly. There are no words of self-effacement or words of pride. At the same time, he did not tell where Hufflepuff and Gryffindor's treasures were hidden, or where the heritage was located. He also had some clues.
"Well, it's useless to tell you too much..."
Slytherin looked at Luke with a cold expression on his face: "Since you have entered the secret room and have the blood of the Gaunt family, I have to test you according to the rules left by the original body. See Let’s see if you are qualified to inherit this secret room, which contains almost all the research results of the original body before leaving Hogwarts.”
The light suddenly became much brighter, and Luke was finally able to see clearly the entirety of the secret room. There are many test benches in the secret room, and almost every test bench has a stack of research materials. On the surrounding walls, there are rows of books.
At the same time, in the corner to Luke's right, there were some special experimental materials soaked in some kind of magic solution.
What Luke saw were the corpses of many magical animals. Some of them were corrupted, but some were still lifelike.
Among them, there was a jar that looked a little empty, which caught Luke's attention. Luke frowned, not paying attention to what Slytherin's missing body said, and walked over there first.
Slytherin's missing body was a little confused about his behavior, but it didn't stop him. Instead, it looked coldly and waited silently for Luke's move.
After so many years, the real secret chamber has finally welcomed its first qualified successor, although it is still not sure whether the little guy in front of him can pass the test left by the main body. But who knows how long it will be before the next member of the Gaunt family arrives.
Of course he hopes that Luke can inherit the research results in the entire secret room. He just has a cold personality, but he is still very interested in teaching and educating people.
Today's four colleges all have habits passed down from the teaching days of the Big Four. These habits are not only the inheritance of history, but also the presentation of the educational concepts of the four people at that time.
The principle that Slytherin adheres to in the Slytherin Academy is...the theory of innate talent.
"I don't know what this little guy's talent is...after all these years, there is still something worthy of attention."
Slytherin's thoughts secretly whispered in his heart. If by then, this little guy's talent is really not that good, then the most he can do is pick one thing from the secret room and take it away.
Just like the mixed-race boy from the Gaunt family who didn't have enough blood to enter the lower chamber at that time and could only wander around in the upper chamber. That boy was a mixed race. Although his talent was good, it was only good. After some tests, his talent combined with his character still made Slytherin's body quite satisfied. Finally, there was a statue on it. There are three pieces of research information placed in my head.
Of course, they are all semi-finished products or even defective products in his eyes.
And the idea that the other party chose the "Concept about the Fusion of Magical Animal Bloodline and Wizarding Bloodline" was indeed what he expected.
Since this child named Luke can enter the lower secret room and pass the bloodline detection spell, no matter if he fails to pass the test in the end, he will let him choose any research results in the secret room to take away.
This is preferential treatment for your own children.
"Ancestor, is this... the snake hair of the Gorgon?"
His thoughts were interrupted by Luke's sudden question. Looking at Luke's position, he nodded and said: "Indeed, that is a living Gorgon that the main body has made great efforts to find. It may even be the last Gorgon in the world. Monster."
Saying this, Slytherin's thoughts floated to Luke's side, and looked at the little snake in the big jar with him.
It was a colorful snake. But only half the body. It doesn't look much different from a normal snake. But the fact that a seemingly ordinary snake with only half of it left here is enough to prove that it is special.
"Did you know that the main body found a Gorgon?"
"I saw the record in Ms. Hufflepuff's "Searching for Souls" pamphlet. But there is no more details. Why is it said that she may be the last Gorgon in the world?"
Luke could hear the Slytherin mind body's respect for the Gorgon. Obviously treating the other person as a human being, not some magical animal. So Luke did not use 'bar' or 'only' as quantifiers.
Slytherin's longing body glanced at Luke thoughtfully, but didn't say much. He just said calmly: "The reproduction of Gorgons is very problematic. There are no males in their clan, so they can only Find males from other races to help reproduce. Humans are their first choice.”
"But even so, it is still extremely difficult for them to reproduce. Many Gorgons cannot even give birth to any offspring in their lifetime."
"In the era of the original body, the Gorgon even became a legend in the wizarding world."
