Noah looked at the icon on the box thoughtfully: "quagmire?"
When talking about the "quagmire" related to Slytherin, the first thing that comes to mind is naturally the song sung by the Sorting Hat.
"Bold Gryffindorfroldor (Brave Gryffindor, from the barren wasteland)
FairRavenfrolen (beautiful Ravenclaw, from the peaceful riverside)
SeetHufflepufffroalleybroad (The benevolent Hufflepuff, from the open valley)
ShredSlytherinfroen (Smart Slytherin, from that quagmire)"
These are the lyrics from the song sung by the Sorting Hat when Noah was in his second year. Occasionally, words similar to "quagmire" can be heard in the mouths of senior Slytherins.
Noah was also curious about this, and Anna Abbott explained the meaning to him at that time.
On the one hand, these represent the origins of the founders of the four colleges, and they also hide the characteristics of the founders of each college.
The desolate wasteland is full of dangers, heavy rains and hurricanes, strange rocks and wild beasts. Only the brave and fearless can cross the wasteland and run towards what they want.
The tranquil riverside is long and quiet, the stream and the forest, the sunshine and the leaf forest. Only patience and calmness can meditate and seek the truth of knowledge in this forest picture.
The open valleys are open and fertile, with streams and human traces, smoke and life. Only those with hope and love can be rich and satisfied.
The quagmire is filled with fog and poisonous barriers. If you make a mistake, you will be doomed. Only the shrewd and calm people can stay safe in that swamp.
So, what does the [quagmire] here refer to?
But what is [Soul Blood]?
Noah looked at the box thoughtfully, unsure for a moment whether it was the key to opening the contents of the box or the key to the contents of the box.
The curse on the box was an extremely vicious curse. Noah could only feel that this curse seemed to have triggering conditions, or that only certain conditions could prevent the curse from opening the box.
And the conditions for Slytherin...are probably bloodline.
Bloodline...
Noah put down the box and looked at it with a headache.
Isn't it a problem to attach too much importance to blood, because it is impossible to determine whether the condition is [Slytherin] or [pure blood], no wonder this box has never been opened.
He stared at the box for a long time, and finally gave up analyzing the specific components of the curse and planned to break open the box directly "violently".
He raised his hand and drew a circle in mid-air. Wherever the dark red fingertips passed, the silver-blue magic power condensed into the outermost magic ring in mid-air. Noah moved the magic power one stroke at a time. Draw a complete magic circle diagram.
This is a deceptive magic formation. The magic formation is not an orderly formation, but a variety of seemingly chaotic magic patterns. This kind of magic array actually does not have any attack effect or auxiliary effect. It only exists as a [deception effect] to deceive the originally constructed [conditions], to deceive it into achieving the [inherent conditions], and to allow the original operation of the [conditions] to be deceived. The conditional magic circle] fails and is passed over.
The principle is probably a master key?
It was originally a magic circle that Noah used to study the secret passages of Hogwarts when he was bored, but he never expected that one day it would be used in such a situation. This also illustrates the thorny nature of the curse on this box.
A curse can last for thousands of years without diminishing, and there is no telling what is in the box guarded by the curse.
The drawn magic circle slowly fell on the box. Keya felt something and turned his head to look over. He stretched out his snake neck and spit out a snake message to see what Noah was doing.
After about two minutes, the magic array finally stopped operating. The resin sealed on the box became turbid and hard, turning into dust and scattered around. At the same time, with a "click", the lock of the box opened by itself, and the originally tightly sealed box A gap appeared.
Noah subconsciously created a small hemispherical shield to cover the box, and stared at the gap in anticipation, fearing that
What kind of curse or dangerous magic will pop out of it?
Fortunately, Slytherin still has some conscience, and there is no danger in the box.
He opened the box and saw the contents - an emerald brooch, a silver crystal necklace, two small red crystal cufflinks, and a small bottle of unknown golden liquid.
This is……
The four founders of the academy each left their own legacies - the sword of Gryffindor, the crown of Ravenclaw, the golden cup of Hufflepuff, and the locket of Slytherin, all of which have powerful magical powers. Magic items.
As for Slytherin's locket, it sounds strangely "perfunctory", probably because Slytherin later left the school.
At this moment Noah suspected that what was supposed to be in the locket was here. When the mental power is swept over them, one can clearly feel the majestic and restrained magic power in these gemstone jewelry.
He looked at the pendant. The pendant was strung together by silver chains. The silver crystal was carved from mithril into a snake-shaped hollow shape and wrapped in gems. It looked luxurious and luxurious.
The emerald brooch is fixed by a silver vine, and the snake-shaped symbol belonging to Slytherin can be faintly seen inside the gem.
The two cufflinks are simple without any extra decoration, but their bright red color is more eye-catching than the other two accessories.
Finally, there was the bottle of inexplicable liquid. Noah took the lead in picking up the small bottle and looked at it carefully against the light.
The bottle should be carved from completely transparent rhombus-shaped gemstones. The neck of the bottle is slightly long. When the light is refracted, you can see that the golden liquid is faintly glowing with stars. It is a very beautiful color.
Noah blinked and shook the bottle gently. He found that the liquid inside was quite viscous and flowed very slowly during shaking. It was connected to each other but not adhered to the wall of the bottle. At first glance, it was not an ordinary liquid.
It looks like a magic potion, but a potion that has been there for a thousand years...does it really never expire?
He shook the bottle again in silence, and why did he put a special bottle of potion in it?
Magic potions and gemstones are different. No matter how well-preserved the magic potion is, it will have a shelf life and will slowly lose its magic power and medicinal properties over time. The potion with the longest known shelf life is only four years and seven months. For a bottle of magic potion to maintain its medicinal properties forever, it is something that even magic spells cannot do.
Looking at it this way, it is obviously not normal for a bottle of potion that is destined to fail to be placed here.
Unless... there is another way to store this bottle of potion that can ensure that the potion is still intact when the box is opened, or it is not a potion at all.
