Chapter 211
Slytherin Chamber of Secrets.
In the dark secret room, a five-pointed star and a six-pointed star were drawn on the most central floor centered on a cross.This is a special formation formation for staff making, which is a unique secret of Ravenclaw back then, and belongs to a different genre from the staff making technique of the Ollivander family.
Although Ravenclaw's staff inheritance is far less famous than the Ollivander family, this does not mean that the former is worse than the latter.When Rowena Ravenclaw herself invented the technique of making the staff, she was actually inspired by the four founders who jointly founded the four Hogwarts colleges.
As we all know, behind the establishment of the Four Great Academies, there are actually magical theories behind it.That's why no one has dared to change this simple, rude, and criticized sorting method since the school was founded 1000 years ago, not even the greatest and most fraternal Dumbledore.
In Great Britain, Muggle elite high schools are indeed divided into houses, but the purpose of this branch is very clear. It is to encourage students to learn to compete and cooperate, to experience the miniature society for them, and to accumulate the social experience and social skills they need before entering the society.The process of their sorting is random, so that people with different cultural backgrounds, different stylistic abilities, different personalities and genders can learn how to get along, how to cooperate, and finally integrate together.
Hogwarts, on the other hand, is better off, directly sorting houses according to the four character traits of courage, wisdom, integrity, and ambition, and this is not the choice of the students themselves, but is determined by an ancient sorting hat with unknown operating principles.No matter how dissatisfied the students are, they cannot violate the instructions of the sorting hat.
As a result, on the day the students entered school at the age of 11, they would be marked with character labels and be burdened with expectations that they should not have at this age. For example, Neville must try his best to absorb courage to meet the expectations of other Gryffindors;
That's fine, what's more serious is that this method of classifying students by the college they belong to has caused discrimination and prejudice.
In the original book, Ron and Hermione mentioned more than once their yearning for Gryffindor and their contempt for Slytherin.What was even more exaggerated was Hagrid, who actually said openly that "there is no wizard who turned bad later but came from Slytherin", which was seriously prejudiced, and he said it to Harry, who was first exposed to the wizarding world, and Harry's prejudice against Slytherin began to be planted at that time.
At Hogwarts, many people think that Slytherin students claim to be noble and discriminate against students from other colleges, but on the other hand, don’t the other three colleges also discriminate against the “evil” Slytherin?
Therefore, this sorting method not only created discrimination, but also extended division and hatred.
For centuries, Slytherin and Gryffindor have been at loggerheads, while Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw maintain neutrality on the surface, but in fact always lean on the side of Gryffindor.This can't be helped, why did Slytherin produce a Voldemort, and Gryffindor produced a Dumbledore?
Even Dumbledore himself couldn't help saying to Snape that "I sometimes feel that our classification is too hasty".In his previous life, Schelling wondered a lot. Since Dumbledore, as the headmaster, had already seen the disadvantages of the branch system, why didn't he propose reform?As the greatest and most prestigious white wizard of his time, if he were to lead the reform, the resistance would definitely be the least.
(Note: The original English text of Dumbledore's words is I sometimes think we Sort too soon, which means that the time for sorting is too early, which makes students lose the time to develop their personalities freely. The original text of People's Society is used above.)
However, Xie Lin in this life finally understood the principle of the separation system.The so-called four colleges actually correspond to the four elements in the theory of the four elements of magic. Slytherin corresponds to the "water element", Gryffindor corresponds to the "fire element", Ravenclaw corresponds to the "wind element", and Hufflepuff corresponds to the "earth element".
This is somewhat similar to the "Five Elements Theory" and "Fengshui Theory" studied by Eastern wizards.
For a long time, Hogwarts has relied on the fusion and interlacing of the four elements to maintain the operation of the entire castle.That is to say, to some extent, the sorting system is the basis for the smooth and unimpeded operation of the magical magnetic field within Hogwarts.This is why no one dares to reform the separation system.
Ravenclaw's staff-making secret technique is actually a ritual to endow a piece of wood with its own magical properties based on the combination of the four elements.
For this alone, it is impossible to be inferior to the Ollivander family's technique of engraving alchemy marks on wood and rod cores.However, the disadvantage of Ravenclaw's method is obvious, that is, wizards of the four elements must be gathered to make the staff together, which is far inferior to Ollivander in terms of versatility and convenience.
There are 4 people in the secret room at the moment - Schelling, Bathory, Anis, and Selph.At this moment, they are being divided into four corners, standing at the end of the cross respectively.All four of them held something in their hands, which was the material to be sacrificed in the ceremony. It was all collected by Xie Linrang from various legal and illegal channels through Ali Bashir, sister Gurana, and German smuggler Nicholas.
Thinking back to those days a few years ago when I had to collect the raw materials myself just to refine a potion for enhancing magic, Xie Lin couldn't help but feel a deep sense of satisfaction with his current network resources.Now, with just one sentence, he can easily deliver the raw materials and materials he wants to his eyes.
Whether it is the Malfoy family, the Black family, the Greengrass family, or the Ravenclaw library, there are some classics on staff science, which gather the knowledge handed down from these families. In terms of knowledge alone, Schelling may not be as good as Ollivander, but it is definitely enough to despise most people in the field of staff science.What Schelling lacked was actually just an opportunity to practice.
In the past period of time, because of Xie Lin's special explanation in advance, Sharf has also been immersed in this knowledge.
After deduction by Sharf and Schelling, today is the day when Mercury is in the sky, and Snakewood belongs to Mercury in the herbal medicine sequence, so today Snakewood's magical conductivity will be enhanced by astrology and become more acute.
The basilisk horn has also undergone special treatment—it has been soaked in the blood of the rooster, the natural enemy of the basilisk, for seven days and seven nights. After drying, the basilisk horn should be displayed outdoors on a cloudless night, illuminated by as many stars as possible. According to the classics, this may increase the magic wand’s communication with various fields of magic.
Schelling placed the basilisk horn in the very center of the cross, opened his mouth, and let out a hissing sound.
Among the four people here, only Sharfe can understand the language of the snake, and what Xie Lin said was "Wake up! The emperor among ten thousand snakes!"
The horn of the basilisk emits a strong and dazzling emerald green light.
Xie Lin took a step forward, threw a stunned long-horned water snake in his hand forward, and read aloud: "In the name of pure blood, I sacrifice the descendants of Senunos, and call for the mighty power of water to descend!"
The Horned Serpent is a magical animal in North America. It can talk, is shrewd and cunning. It is actually a descendant of Cernunnos in Celtic mythology in the Muggle world. This god represents pure blood and nobility, corresponding to the "water element" trait behind Slytherin.
The long-horned water snake landed in front of the basilisk horn, let out a scream, and turned into a puddle of liquid blue energy, which was absorbed by the basilisk horn.
Bathory was the second to move. She threw the three-headed rune snake that had been stunned in her hand forward, and then opened her mouth to spit out a thick liquid that resembled green blood. The liquid dripped on the rune snake, and the three heads gave out screams of different lengths one after the other.
Runespoor is a magical animal in Burkina Faso, Africa. It has a brave and aggressive personality. The three heads often fight together when the brain is hot, completely forgetting that they share the same body. The death of one head is equal to the death of all three heads. It corresponds to the "fire element" trait behind Gryffindor.And the blood of vampires actually contains a quality called "underworld fire", which is the most suitable material for refining the fire element.
The next one to make the move was hag Annis Black.She gave a strange laugh twice, threw a monster with a chicken head and a dragon body in her hand towards the center of the ceremony, made a strange gesture with both hands, and a slender dark blue nail broke away from her finger, turning into a blue light and shooting into the monster's body.
The monster is actually a close relative of the basilisk, Cockatrice, whose gaze can be deadly or petrified, and whose breath is highly poisonous.It has a paranoid and tyrannical character. When encountering an enemy who violates its dignity, it will chase the opponent to the ends of the earth, even at the cost of dying with the enemy. It corresponds to the "Earth Element" of Hufflepuff. (Unexpectedly, the extremes of diligence, persistence, and single-mindedness are actually paranoia)
All dominatrixes lived in darkened caves for many years, and their bodies contained strong earth elements, so Anis's nails were just used to sacrifice the materials for refining earth elements.
Sarff's face was very solemn. She walked slowly to the center of the ceremony, and carefully picked up the basilisk horn on the ground in her palm.
"Aguilar!" Xie Lin yelled coldly, and an eagle-shaped phantom appeared, sending out a long scream.Aquila's body glowed with colorful brilliance, it flapped its wings vigorously, and the two wings turned into invisible wind arrows and shot into the horn of the basilisk.
"Salph, it's now!" Schelling gave the last instruction.
Sarf opened her mouth and let out bursts of hissing sounds of varying lengths and heights. She was not casting a spell, but was communicating with the basilisk horn, establishing a special connection between the wizard and the core——
What is Wand Choose Wizard?There may be a reason for the wand to choose a wizard. The core of the wand is guided by emotion and will. Wands made with different cores are destined to match wizards with different personalities and temperaments.But is this really the only truth in the wand-making world?
Once the method of refining the wand core used by Schelling at this moment is successful, an unbreakable bond will be directly established between the wizard and the wand core, and the degree of fit between the wizard and the wand will far exceed what is currently known. any combination of .
[The compatibility between "Basilisk Horn" and "Sharf" is Max! 】
At the same time, Xie Lin murmured an ancient and long incantation, and the low murmur echoed layer upon layer in the secret room. The snake wood automatically floated into the air, slowly moved into the palm of Sharf, and then began to melt, slowly wrapping the basilisk horn. Invisible to the naked eye, golden filaments interspersed in the wood. This is actually the wisdom of the basilisk horn growing and spreading in the stick body like the nerve threads of the human body, until the core and body of the stick are seamlessly fused Together.
Sarff held a brand new wand, and a ring of lightning radiated from her in all directions.
A fingernail-sized snake head protruded slightly from the grip of the wand, and the two crimson snake eyes shone with a biting luster.
Sharf closed her eyes, her long black hair fluttered in the opposite direction without any wind, the momentum on her body grew wildly, and a huge snake-shaped phantom faintly emerged behind her.
At this moment, everyone present felt——
The breaths of Sulph and the wand have blended together regardless of each other, and it is no longer possible to distinguish which is Self and which is the wand by the breath——
"This is the unity of human and wand?" The well-informed Bathory quickly recognized this phenomenon, "It's unbelievable. Even in my era, the wand-making technique that can make wizards and wands resonate to such an extent is already a legendary existence. No one has ever seen such a scene... Oh my God, Schelling, you are..."
Bathory didn't know what to say anymore. She had lived for several centuries, and she had never seen any kind of genius, but in her opinion, Schelling's talent, which is proficient in almost everything, simply transcended the category of genius, and was enough to be called a monster.
The wand is the wizard's second life and the wizard's most valuable partner. The fit between the wand and the wizard is the most crucial factor in choosing a wand, and it is a recognized fact in the hearts of all wizards.
But no matter what the current wand makers do, it is impossible to make a wand that perfectly matches the wizard with limited materials. At most, the fit is relatively high.
And the magic wand held in Sharfe's hand obviously resonated mysteriously with her, reaching the legendary state of "unity of human and wand".
"Am I not mistaken?" Anis said hesitantly, "Is this how her magic level has broken through?"
Xie Lin nodded, and said lightly: "Yes, the wand itself has magic power, which has reached the state of 'human stick integration', that is to say, the magic power in the wand is connected with Sarph's magic pool, and people and wands can share each other's magic power from now on, so it is not surprising that the magic power has made breakthroughs."
"Amazing!" Bathory looked at Xie Lin with a half-smile, "Brother Xie Lin, you have such a powerful skill, when will you get a magic wand for sister Elisa?" Annis who was on the side immediately cheered up and listened attentively.
Pure-blooded vampires and hags, like house elves and goblins, are subject to the laws of the Ministry of Magic and are not allowed to hold magic wands (mixed-bloods are allowed, so Flitwick and Fleur have magic wands). This has caused them to rely on natural instincts to violently urge the use of magic power.
Therefore, Bathory and Anis could not openly purchase magic wands from normal channels, and the second-hand magic wands purchased from the black market were of uneven quality, and sometimes even showed the characteristics of resisting the Lord. It was not as easy and convenient to use as casting without a wand.
"Don't worry." The corners of Xie Lin's mouth curled slightly, his eyes sparkled, "I will never treat my followers badly, as long as you never betray the covenant between us, I promise - there will be a day when you will be able to hold the magic wand publicly."
