Luke sneered, no matter what, this guy still underestimated him too much. He wasn't the only one who could see Luke's bloodline. Luke can also read his bloodline. Lan
A magic to identify bloodline, isn't this the basic practice of a great noble?
When Luke felt the closeness that the giant squid gave him, his first reaction was to activate the magic of identifying blood. As expected, this giant squid has a blood connection with him.
It is impossible for Luke to be connected by blood to a giant squid. In other words, this giant squid must be an Animagus. Based on what Luke learned. Among the four giants, Gryffindor's favorite should be the lion.
but……
"I actually didn't want to believe it at first. After all, Gryffindor, the red lion. Why did he appear in front of others as a giant squid? He even hid himself in the black lake. This Hidden for hundreds or thousands of years. I have to admit that your appearance is indeed very deceiving. No one could have imagined that Godric Gryffindor would continue to live in such a posture."
"More importantly, what I discovered when I was looking through the family books was that your Animagus form is a lion. A powerful, although not a magical animal, but a lion that is better than a magical animal."
】
"But..." Lan
Luke paused for a moment, and his expression became more solemn: "As the four giants, one of you has made groundbreaking achievements in blood magic. One is good at memory magic. And the other is best at soul magic. They can all do it. It is said that research and exploration in a certain field have reached the cutting edge. I once thought that your achievement was probably a special wizard fighting mode. After all, the treasure you left behind was a sword. But the Slytherin ancestor reminded Give me a shout."
"He said...the magic you are best at is transformation. Think about it, what kind of transformation can be regarded as beyond the limit, unprecedented and unprecedented?"
"The first research direction is probably to make a breakthrough in the Animagus transformation spell. The second... is naturally to create something out of nothing and turn death into life."
"Breakthroughs in Animagus can be made from two directions. One is the type of transformation, that is, transforming from ordinary animals into magical animals. Following this, among the ancestors of the Gaunt family, There are also people who have focused their attention here.”
"There is another difference, naturally, in quantity. That is, from being able to transform into only one animal to being able to transform into multiple animals. In this way, the versatility of the Animagus spell can be obtained A staggering improvement.”
"As for the possibility of the second research direction... I have not thought about it. If a person can do such a thing..."
Luke said this and took a deep breath. Although there are legends about artificial humans in alchemy. But that is another pearl at the tip of the alchemy tower. Lan
According to what Nico Flamel told him. Among the methods Nico could choose in that book was the method of refining artificial humans. But in front of the magic stone of eternal life. After all, the allure of artificial humans has been weakened by half.
So Nico chose a ready-made path to immortality.
It's just that he didn't expect that such immortality would not be said to have anything to do with his ideal, or at least it would be the opposite.
If Luke hadn't given him another reason to live, I'm afraid Nico would have chosen to commit suicide last year.
Of course, artificial humans belong to the alchemy process of biological creation. It is fundamentally different from Transfiguration.
A large number of rituals, difficult-to-achieve conditions, and precious materials are all difficulties.
Transformation of death into life is another level of giving life out of thin air. Because this is the power of the spell. Lan
This is already the authority of God. Including the top of alchemy, no one except Nico has been able to set foot on it so far. These are realms belonging to the gods, and I am afraid that only Nico has left his mark on them. Became a ready-made blasphemer.
Of course, whether there are gods in the wizarding world remains an unsolved mystery. So Luke didn't care that much.
In any case, based on the achievements of three of the remaining Big Four, Luke concluded that Gryffindor's research direction must not be the latter. It is an improvement on the Animagus, the cutting edge of transformation.
Then, based on what he had seen before, Luke concluded that the voice in his ears was just the giant squid's pretense. He is Gryffindor. He turned into a giant squid and didn't want to appear in front of others as a giant squid. At least he doesn't want others to associate the giant squid with Gryffindor.
And now, Luke was about to expose this scar in front of him. Let the bloody truth be exposed in the air. It is best to pour a bottle of alcohol on it and sprinkle a bag of salt on it. Let this seemingly unruly guy feel the pain.
Of course, Luke had prepared a retreat.
Of course, you can't teleport casually here. Apparition has failed, and Luke doesn't know whether Dumbledore's teleportation magic, which relies on the power of the phoenix, can be established. But it’s always a solution. Lan
What's more... Luke had one hand holding Hermione and the other in his pocket. And he took out the special door key given to him by Ryan Kane from the system space. After entering here, he tested the strength of the spatial confinement here. Fortunately, it did not exceed the endurance of this door key.
They were still able to get back near Luke's cabin.
Wherever Luke is confident, even if he is really a god, he has to be prepared to have a piece of flesh bitten off by him.
Hermione looked confused behind Luke. Whether it was Luke's chutzpah or the information. Or maybe it was Luke's idea of transformation breakthrough that shocked her.
If the person in front of her was really Gryffindor, then Hermione couldn't even imagine how powerful he was as a giant.
Among those messages, Luke revealed the magic the Big Four were best at, as well as some important matters. Although she basically knew it. But she also knows the value of these secrets to the outside world.
Of course, the most important thing is Luke's insights on the progress of transfiguration. If these insights were put forward by Professor McGonagall, everyone would only think that Professor McGonagall has clear ideas. Lan
But it was Luke who said it. A second grade student. This makes people feel a little awkward.
However, considering that this person is Luke, there won't be any strange feeling. After all, the Gunter family is the last surviving member. Those notes about magic research in the family, even if they only have a superficial understanding. It's not a surprise to say something like this.
What's more, the professor who has the best relationship with Luke is one of the leading transfiguration masters in the wizarding world today, Professor Minerva McGonagall.
"So, you, giant squid, Gryffindor. Why on earth have you maintained such a posture? Could it be..."
"Aside from the problem, your magic can't be changed back?"
When Luke said the last words, he smiled sarcastically. Of course, this was just to piss off Gryffindor. On the contrary, Luke didn't find it funny at all.
The wizarding world is never safe. Regardless of whether the legal provisions are relatively weak. A complex political landscape. Crazy lunatics, and greedy villains. Lan
Some people may never encounter these dangers in their lifetimes. But... there is a danger that wizards cannot avoid.
That's magic itself.
So small that every time this guy Seamus casts a new magic, there is a chance that it will explode. Luna's mother, Pandora Lovegood, died while researching a new curse.
The dangers of magic exist around every wizard.
No one knows if the magic they cast next time will go out of control. Just like no one can know... which one will come first, tomorrow or the accident.
And will Godric Gryffindor be exempt?
Luke really didn't think so. Lan
This is where Gryffindor rests. But Luke didn't see the bed, and the table was covered in dust.
Compared to a residence, Luke feels that this place is more like a museum where people can remember the past.
So Luke speculated that Gryffindor should not need to go ashore to rest...
Is that what he meant? Luke doesn't know. But there is a high probability that it is not.
It's just speculation in itself. Take a gamble and say the right thing to break the opponent's defense. The most he said if he said something wrong would be to be laughed at by the other party, but Luke didn't care about such trivial matters.
The age of this body is the biggest shield.
After Luke finished speaking, there was silence in the cave for a long time. Hermione looked around with some worry, while Luke's hand stayed in a position where he could touch the ring-shaped door key at any time. My hands are already wet. Lan
But he was still watching and did not leave immediately.
Of course he was greedy too.
Hermione knew how important Gryffindor's legacy of magic was to him, so how could he not know that?
Of course he could refuse this inheritance for Hermione. But until the other party clearly refused, Luke didn't feel that he had no chance. He certainly hoped that his most likely guess was wrong. If it was right, then I might have to give up the ready-made magic experience left by Gryffindor.
And if it's wrong, then you still have a chance.
He's gambling.
After a long time...Lan
"Hahaha! I knew that bastard Salazar was still alive!"
Luke was startled. Hermione could feel his hand holding her tremble.
But it wasn't because Luke was afraid. He had always been nervous. Luke's hand moved, but the other hand on top of the door key did not move at all.
Moreover, with his expression still, he breathed a huge sigh of relief.
"The bet was right."
Luke whispered in his mind.
"Hahaha. You little guy is really interesting. It's really not like me. But you are exactly the same as Salazar, the guy who seems sensible but is actually greedy." Lan
As he spoke, the giant squid emerged from the water.
"Part of your guess is right. I did put my research direction on the variant of Animagus. But it's a pity. I have completed this magic."
As he spoke, the giant squid put its two arms and legs on the ground. Almost in the blink of an eye. A majestic, noble lion covered with golden hair appeared on the shore and walked towards the two people.
Hermione's eyes widened.
Boy, this really breaks through the existing knowledge of magic.
This is the complete animagus transformation. Although she only has theoretical knowledge at present, Hermione's theoretical knowledge is extremely rich. She can tell whether it is an Animagus in the true sense.
Among the currently known magic theories, the transformation of the wizard's body by the Animagus is permanent. That is, after transforming into one animal, you cannot transform into another animal. Lan
But now, a situation that broke through her cognition happened right in front of her.
"No...your transformation is very surprising. But...how did you survive for such a long time?"
Hermione still didn't understand. She had come into contact with Slytherin's missing body. I learned that Slytherin relies on perfect clones and clones with fully adapted souls for immortality. But how can we live forever simply by relying on the Animagus?
"Lighthouse jellyfish..."
Luke looked at the lion who was not close to him, and answered Hermione's question before the other party could say anything.
"A jellyfish that can 'rejuvenate'. However, some scientists point out that the way this creature exists cannot be arbitrarily considered to be 'immortal' or 'rejuvenate'."
Hermione heard Luke's explanation and looked at Luke strangely. Although she had always known that Luke was very interested in the culture of the Muggle world. But she still felt that it was somewhat awkward for Luke, a pure-blood aristocratic wizard, to have the word 'scientist' pop out of his mouth. Lan
"Oh! It seems like you are also very concerned about things in the Muggle world! Very good, very much in our style."
The lion complimented Luke with a hearty smile on his face.
"Yes, whenever I want to live another life, I will turn into a lighthouse jellyfish and undergo a 'rejuvenation'. After the life span is refreshed, I will turn into other creatures again and start a new life."
"As for the giant squid, it's just a state you saw. In fact, I also transformed into a water snake and talked to those little snakes that came out of your room."
There was a joking look on the lion's face, and it was obvious that Luke had also fallen into a misunderstanding.
Just because he hasn't seen it doesn't mean the other person can't change.
But...Lan
Luke looked at the lion.
"But, you...can't turn back into a human?"
The lion's footsteps paused.
He took a deep look at Luke, but on Luke's face, he didn't see sarcasm, ridicule, or the kind of indifferent calm.
But a real sense of depression and worry.
So the lion laughed at himself: "This is the magic of eternal life, Luke... everything has a price."
