A certain Hogwarts rune professor

Chapter 81 The Millennium Past

"A lot." Felix said, "I have read many books that mention the four founders, but they are either unclear, contradictory, or only leave a few words and have no reference value at all. "

He cited an example, "Such as Salazar Slytherin, many people fear him, fear him, call him a dark wizard...but what is the truth?"

"The truth?" Ms. Gray asked back. "What truth do you want?"

"Of course it's the truth in your eyes." Felix said, looking at her.

This ghost seemed to be lost in memory. She thought for a long time, and commented slightly solemnly: "Salazar Slytherin is a very good wizard, and he and his wife are very loving..."

Felix: "???"

This was obviously not what he wanted to know, but it was a good start after all, so he continued along with her topic, "There is indeed very little information about his wife, but many people mentioned that Slytherin was ugly, Looks like a monkey."

The lady gave him a slightly haughty look, "That's a side effect of his research into magic. Slytherin's original appearance was extremely outstanding, but as he delved deeper into those...horrible fields, his appearance became more and more... The more intimidating it is."

Felix suddenly realized that this was the case, and he had the joy of solving the eternal mystery.

And Ms. Gray continued to recall: "He was always surrounded by snakes, and he wore a black or dark green robe all the year round, with a lingering smell of blood, and his eyes became, became very scary. "

Felix speculated that Slytherin might have been transplanted with the blood of some magical creature.

"—his character became more and more extreme, and his differences with other people became more and more serious...More than one quarrel broke out, and even his best friend Gryffindor couldn't stand it. But I must say, There was no fight between them, he just left quietly, one quiet morning, taking everything with him."

"He also left the Chamber of Secrets," Felix reminded her.

"Maybe, but I have heard about it. Slytherin is not afraid to teach all kinds of cruel black magic, but the other three strongly oppose this, so there are rumors that he quietly took his promising students, secretly place to teach these horrors."

So, the Chamber of Secrets was originally used for teaching?Felix thought to himself, and solved another doubt.However, according to his speculation, as the conflict intensified later, Slytherin may have transferred some of his particularly bloody research to the secret room.

Speaking of which, Felix had sneaked back to the Chamber of Secrets, used Harry's Parseltongue pronunciation scroll, and checked it carefully, but found nothing, only found the pit where the basilisk usually sleeps.

Ms. Gray finally concluded: "But at least during the time at Hogwarts, he still fulfilled his original promise and used his life to guard the teachers and students of the school against various attacks. Unlike the last few hundred years, Slytherin The academy has completely changed..."

"What do you mean by attack?" Felix caught the point.

She was swinging lightly, seeming to be contemptuous of Felix's ignorance, but with a little excitement of pointing out the country, she asked, "You don't think that Hogwarts will be built safely, do you?"

Felix didn't respond, he just made a "continue" gesture.

Ms Gray said: "According to today's standards, the vast majority of wizards at that time were dark wizards. They adopted a master-apprentice system, with one older leading three or five younger ones, and these people traveled from village to village to find those Potential newcomers, bring them by your side to cultivate, and at the same time act as your own servants."

"And the founding of Hogwarts, especially after the four founders covered the British Isles with the magic of the Pen of Acceptance and the Book of Admission, these wizards were dealt a fatal blow - they were forever and completely Lost source of minions."

"The pen of acceptance, the book of admission..." Felix chewed these two words, he had heard the rumors of these two magical creations.

It is said that the name of every young wizard who enters the school can be found in the book of admission.

When a child first shows a gift for magic, the Pen of Acceptance attempts to record his name; but the Book of Acceptance is stricter—only when the children show sufficient evidence of their magical powers, their names are Only then will it be included in the Book of Access.

The sensitivity of the pen of acceptance, coupled with the strictness of the book of admission, enabled them to select qualified students for Hogwarts, and they had never made a mistake for thousands of years.

"The establishment of a new order is bound to be accompanied by the counterattack of the old forces." Felix said with a sigh, now he almost understood how Tom's vicious comments about Gryffindor in the diary came from.

The story of thousands of years ago is still going on——

"Some wizards recognized the efforts of the four founders. They took the initiative to send their children to Hogwarts; Or during the holidays, they sneaked up on Hogwarts professors and students again and again, and threw their bodies in front of Hogwarts Castle." She shuddered.

"This naturally led to a counterattack from Hogwarts. Among them, Gryffindor's attitude was the most intense. He carried his sword and wand and defeated one after another dark wizards who were very famous at the time. He even publicly declared, I am willing to accept a challenge from anyone, whether it is in the Muggle way or the wizard way."

Felix was fascinated when he heard it. How could the records on the piece of paper describe that period of magnificent history?

"What about the other three?"

"They are doing the same thing, but Gryffindor is the most famous. After a few years, some students graduated successfully, and their footprints spread all over the world, spreading the reputation of Hogwarts to the world, that is, Not many people dare to provoke them."

Ms. Gray told the whole story with pride and reminiscence.

Felix also benefited a lot, and he expressed his gratitude sincerely: "Thank you, Ms. Helena Ravenclaw."

"Don't! Call me! This! Name!" The ghost in front of him suddenly said excitedly, her transparent cheeks seemed not so transparent, and before he could speak, she disappeared through the wall.

Felix: "..."

At the same time, a low, hoarse voice suddenly appeared, and he said, "Don't mention that name, it's her taboo."

Felix turned around, and in front of him was a haggard, very pale ghost, wearing an ancient wizard's robes stained with silver and blood, and wearing a pair of huge shackles.

"Long time no see, Barrow."
