#58 - Chapter 58: Did Slytherin eat your rice?
Gryffindor is still alive?!
Sebastian was shocked. It's been a thousand years, how is that possible?
If Voldemort knew the secret to immortality was in the Forbidden Forest, he would definitely be beating his chest and wailing, as that was his ultimate dream.
"I am Gryffindor, but Gryffindor is not me!"
Facing Sebastian's question, the red-faced, robust man replied with a sonorous voice.
"I am just a fragment of memory that Gryffindor left here, don't overthink it!"
"It's like the Sorting Hat, except the Sorting Hat is a special item we four created by injecting our thoughts into it!"
"And I am a fragment of memory that Gryffindor himself preserved using the magic of the Dark Forest!"
That explains it...
Sebastian suddenly understood, no wonder something felt off.
It turned out that Gryffindor's body was composed of pure magic, only the memory was his own.
What a miraculous method!
Before Sebastian could say anything, Gryffindor frowned: "Why is it a Slytherin kid?"
"How strange, the one who found my legacy isn't a Gryffindor student?!"
"Could it be that the current Gryffindor students no longer have the courage to explore the depths of the Dark Forest?"
He sighed, then looked at Sebastian with a gloomy expression, appearing very unhappy.
Hearing this, Sebastian was immediately displeased.
What's wrong with Slytherin students?
Did they eat your rice?
Why do you look down on Slytherin students so much?
Thinking of this, Sebastian opened his mouth and asked: "How did you know I was a Slytherin? I'm not wearing Slytherin robes!"
"Students who have been sorted by the Sorting Hat have a simple contract with the house they were assigned to. I can see clearly which house you came from at a glance!"
"What?" Gryffindor looked at Sebastian with disdain, "Want to pretend to be a Gryffindor student?"
"I'm telling you, no way!"
Gryffindor's disdainful gaze made the veins on Sebastian's forehead throb!
What?
Is Gryffindor so desirable?
I have to wrong myself and pretend to be a Gryffindor student?
If it weren't for the fact that you are one of the founders of Hogwarts!
I really want to retort: "I am a Slytherin student, and I am proud! I represent Slytherin!"
But to deal with this kind of old antique, of course, you can't be tough. We Slytherin students are all about knowing when to yield.
For the sake of the legacy left by Gryffindor... I'll endure it!
"What you call the Dark Forest, Hogwarts now has a new name for it—the Forbidden Forest!"
"Students are no longer allowed to explore here! If you want to wait for a Gryffindor student, that won't be easy!"
"Moreover!" Sebastian straightened his back, "Slytherin students are also very courageous!"
"Besides, aren't Slytherin students also Hogwarts students? So, aren't I also your student?"
"You can't be biased against me just because I'm a Slytherin! I passed your test!"
Gryffindor laughed and expressed his approval of Sebastian's reaction.
If this Slytherin kid were to try to please him and show a servile attitude, he would definitely tell Sebastian to get as far away as possible.
Knowing his identity, this kid was able to remain neither humble nor arrogant, and then say a series of reasonable words.
This courage made Gryffindor admire him somewhat.
"Alright, I was overthinking it!"
"Don't say you're a Slytherin student, even if you're not a Hogwarts student, as long as you have the courage to carry the world on your shoulders, what does it matter!"
"I am Gryffindor!"
Saying that, Gryffindor's expression turned serious!
His steady magic gradually began to boil, and he looked at Sebastian with a burning gaze, like a lion entering a hunting state.
"Do you want my legacy?"
"Then use all your strength to attack me! Kid!"
"Let me weigh your worth and see if you are qualified!"
"Let us have a pleasant teaching session in battle!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a longsword made of magic appeared in Gryffindor's right hand, and at the same time, he held a wand in his left hand.
He bent slightly, pointed the sword at Sebastian, and made an attacking posture.
"Let me show you the methods of the strongest melee wizard!"
In an instant, Sebastian felt as if the surrounding magic had been imprisoned.
However, the waves of magic surging from Gryffindor made him feel like he was in the sea, facing a real giant wave.
Is this the demeanor of the strongest wizard a thousand years ago!
Well done!
Sebastian's eyes lit up, and his wand instantly appeared in his hand, looking at Gryffindor full of fighting spirit.
A melee wizard?
Coincidentally, when I traveled to the East, I also learned a few hand-to-hand combat skills!
The two exchanged glances, and Sebastian raised his hand and shot three spells at Gryffindor.
The three spells were arranged in a triangular shape, blocking all possibilities for Gryffindor to dodge.
To Sebastian's surprise, Gryffindor didn't dodge or evade the incoming spells, but charged straight up.
He swung his sword and砍flew one spell, and then allowed the remaining two spells to land on him.
The light of the Shield Charm flashed, and the two spells were directly bounced away.
Wrong!
This Shield Charm is not quite right!
It appeared in an instant, and Gryffindor showed no signs of casting a spell at all.
Moreover, Sebastian was very sure that this was definitely not wandless magic.
In addition, not only was the way it appeared wrong, but even the feeling of bouncing the spell away was wrong.
Sebastian vaguely felt that this Shield Charm seemed to be incredibly thick!
The feeling of the spell hitting it was like Sebastian hitting armor with a wooden stick.
Could this be Gryffindor's special skill?
Just a slight daze, Gryffindor appeared beside Sebastian like a ghost, and then slashed down with his sword, its speed as fast as lightning across the night sky.
"Don't be in a daze, kid, I'm now gathering the magic of the entire Forbidden Forest in myself. Don't underestimate me just because I'm not Gryffindor himself!"
Sebastian tilted his body slightly, dodging the opponent's longsword, and then flashed away, keeping his distance from Gryffindor.
After that, he kept moving and kited Gryffindor.
If you don't kite in a ranged fight against a melee fighter, then just wait for your own funeral.
After a few rounds of fighting, Sebastian gradually saw some clues. Gryffindor's Shield Charm seemed to be more than just one layer.
Instead, many, many Shield Charms were stacked together layer by layer, which produced this effect.
Thinking of this, Sebastian had a plan in his mind, he decided to test his most powerful spell.
"Sectumsempra!"
As if seeing Sebastian's plan, Gryffindor directly stood on the spot, allowing the spell to shoot at him.
In an instant, this most sharp spell cut through the outermost Shield Charm, but it lacked follow-up power and was still far from completely breaking through the opponent's defense.
Is this the foundation of the strongest melee wizard?
In a trance, Sebastian understood one thing, no wonder Gryffindor in historical records liked to use a longsword to eliminate enemies!
Wearing such a tortoise shell, he could completely defend against most spell attacks!
Plus the goblin-made, extremely sharp Gryffindor's sword.
In a situation where everyone was using spells to shoot at each other from a distance.
Gryffindor went against the norm, directly rushing forward and attacking head-on while tanking the spells.
In that era, information was not readily available, and when most wizards were unprepared, it was not a sure hit!
Seeing Sebastian taking out his strongest move, Gryffindor laughed: "Do you understand?"
"This is the legacy left here, my unique skill—Shield Charm stacking!"
"Feel it well, think about it carefully!"
"Break through yourself in battle, and learn this skill!"
"Slytherin kid, I will take good care of you!"
