Chapter 375 Immortal Incarnation
Chapter 375 Immortal Incarnation
There are no classes this afternoon.
But this doesn't mean that Sherin can have a little time off - Shalfu sent him a message, asking him to go to the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets.
When he arrived at the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets, although he was mentally prepared, the scene before him still made Sherin overjoyed.
The house-elves of the Yaxley and Selwyn families knelt side by side on the ground, with their heads lowered, not daring to make eye contact with Sherin, but their trembling shoulders still revealed their inner fear.
On one side were mountains of books, boxes overflowing with treasures, and dark magic items that exuded an ancient and dangerous aura. Everything was neatly laid out on the ground for full view.
Sherin summoned Latifa, Dobby and Winky with his mind, and the three of them, together with the four house-elves, began to sort things out.
Most of the ordinary books were directly handed over to Latifa, who put them in Schelling's private library for sorting. According to Latifa's rough estimate, after this harvest, the number of books in the private library will exceed 1,000 for the first time. In terms of quantity, it is no less than that of the Hogwarts Library. In terms of quality alone, the rarity of the books in the private library is even better.
【A large number of magic books are obtained! 】
The house-elves were responsible for handling the various treasures, which included many alchemical items, precious potions, materials from rare magical animals and plants, etc. After two hours of sorting, they filled four large wooden boxes, which was more than the treasures in the Malfoy family's secret room.
[A large number of treasures, potions, and materials are obtained! ]
The remaining dark magic items and books are dangerous, so they must be handled by Sherin or Sharf.
There are the least number of items and books in this category, but they are the most time-consuming to process, and yet they are the last to be sorted out.
As expected of the second and third ranked pure-blood families in the British wizarding world, their collection of books on the dark arts was still stunning even with Sherin's current vision and knowledge.
Schelling only glanced through the books and found several books that interested him. For example, there was a book that actually recorded how to make the long-lost troll statues. Although most of the materials needed in the book have long been extinct in modern times, its production methods still have many things worth learning from Schelling.
There is also a book that actually records how to transform a person or beast into a bloodthirsty curse with infinite strength, madness and violence. Of course, since the transformed monster is out of control, this spell is considered a forbidden technique that is not suitable for use and has become useless.
It can be seen that almost all of these magics have traces of ancient war magic. Today, when there have been no large-scale magic wars for a long time, they actually do not have much practical value.
But the study of magic has never been about its practical value, Schelling believed.
All magic is worth studying, and the operating principles behind these magics that have been abandoned by the times can often bring new inspiration to magical innovation.
Putting the dark magic book aside, Sherin picked up the secret magic of the Yaxley family and read it carefully with his eyes fixed.
"This is really an amazing magic!" Sherin, who was already engrossed in reading it, couldn't help but sigh. If the entry threshold wasn't too high, the overall strength of the Yaxley family today would definitely not be limited to the current level.
This secret magic is called "Undead Incarnation". It can create a zombie-like clone for the caster, which has the ability to share vision, thoughts, and magic power with the caster, and can also cast magic. Most importantly, this clone is immortal. Even if it is broken into pieces by the Killing Curse, the pieces will automatically return to their original positions, stitch together and return to their original state.
Of course, it is not without limitations. The clone's movement speed and casting speed are only one-third of the original body, and the magic power consumed for each casting is three times that of the original body.
In other words, the biggest use of this clone is to be used as a meat shield to resist attacks, rather than to be the main force responsible for output. The reason why this magic was not mastered by the Yaxley family is that the minimum threshold for learning it is to have the magic power of a great magician - this alone has excluded more than 99% of the wizards in the world.
But Xie Ling is not an exception - don't worry, Yaxley, I will bring your family secret spell back to the world!
[Obtain the black magic book! ]
[The Yaxley family heirloom spell "Undying Avatar" is obtained! ]
Xie Ling carefully put the thin scroll of secret spell into his pocket, intending to learn this magic as soon as he had time to give himself a trump card.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, he glanced at Sharf. Sharf's cherry lips were biting her snakewood wand, and she was slowly flipping through a book called "Charm from the Heart" with a look of concentration. The cover of the book was a dark-skinned female nymph posing coquettishly. Xie Ling was stunned for a while, and although he was about to say something, he finally chose to keep silent.
Then, he couldn't wait to open the secret magic and core inheritance sent by the Selwyn family.
He was surprised and delighted to find the other half of the Lestrange family magic he had been longing for.
The Lestrange family has several branches in France, but in Great Britain, there are only two brothers, Rabastan Lestrange and Rodolphus Lestrange, as direct descendants of the family.
If the concubines leave the family, they can only be allocated a sum of gold, but the family ancestral home and all magic-related inheritances must remain in the main family. After the two brothers were imprisoned, the family elders also promoted the underage Gallup from the concubines to join the direct family tree. The purpose was to prevent the two brothers in prison from having any accidents and causing the family to be leaderless. The underage Gallup's mind is not yet mature, and he is the best candidate to be controlled as a puppet by the family elders.
Therefore, Gallup actually only learned the superficial aspects of the Lestrange family magic, and he didn't even have the slightest idea of the true inheritance.
Although Rabastan and Rodolphus were crazy about the Death Eaters' hegemony and had lost their minds, it did not mean that they were ignorant fools. They were also worried that the direct family inheritance in their hands would be coveted by those greedy and ambitious elders. So before anything happened to them, they put all the wealth and precious magical items into the Gringotts vault, which only the two brothers and Bellatrix had the right to visit.
As for the dark magic books, family magic, and core inheritance, they were divided into two parts, half given to Bellatrix's most trusted mother, Druella Black, and the other half hidden in the secret room in the family ancestral home.
The share that Druella held fell into Sherin's hands after her death.
The one in the secret room of the ancestral home was seized by the ambitious Selwyn family, as the suzerain family, and now it has fallen into Sherin's hands again.
And now, he can finally combine the two separated parts into one and truly obtain the complete Lestrange family magic.
[Obtain the Lestrange family magic supplement! ]
Lestrange's family magic is mainly based on distorting the five senses, torturing and destroying. In addition to the common Cruciatus Curse in the original work, there are more advanced uses of the Cruciatus Curse, such as using various sensory stimulations to cause a person's will to collapse, and even to make a person's spiritual world become irreparably fragmented. The end result is that the person becomes a walking corpse without a soul, and will only act according to instinct and needs.
After putting away the Lestrange family secret spell scroll again, Sherin picked up the Selwyn family's scroll to examine it.
Although the Selwyn family also has some powerful family spells, they are all similar to the "Blade of Light and Shadow" and "Shield of Light and Shadow" of the Malfoy family. For ordinary small and medium-sized families, or young wizards from Muggle families, it may be an amazing inheritance, but for Sherin it is a bit not good enough.
Xie Lin frowned - this was not right. How could the Selwyn family, the second most powerful family, have such an ordinary inheritance?
