Chapter 222 A Big Surprise

Yang Tian rushed into the room eagerly, but was attracted by the strange scene in front of him. This room was almost the same size as the hall outside. But the difference was that the whole room was wrapped in a touch of flowing light. Although I don't know what this did, it was really beautiful.

Moreover, it was visible to the naked eye that this huge space was divided into several areas by various colored light curtains, but due to the obstruction of the light curtains, Yang Tian could not see what was inside. The only thing that was visible was a huge stone platform in the center of the room.

Yang Tian walked forward thoughtfully, and sure enough, a piece of parchment was on the stone platform. After just a quick glance, Yang Tian knew what was going on. This was a secret room instruction manual. According to the manual, the entire room was divided into six areas: experimental area, book collection area, material area, treasure area, training area, and rest area.

This experimental area, as the name suggests, is used to conduct various magic experiments. Yang Tian followed the map and entered it, and a mysterious atmosphere came over him.

This area had obviously been expanded by the Traceless Extension Charm, and the space was quite large. But what really impressed people was the strange light flickering on the walls and the stones with magic runes laid out in an orderly manner on the ground. Yang Tian couldn't understand the arrangement and function of these magic runes for a moment, but the parchment clearly stated: the function of the magic runes was to strengthen and purify, to prevent explosions, the escape of toxic gases, etc.

The lab table was undoubtedly the core of the area. On the lab table, which took up most of the space, were placed various mysterious lab instruments. Putting aside other things, just looking at the fine workmanship and the exquisite materials, one could tell that they were very valuable. At the same time, the bottles and jars on the lab table were filled with colorful liquids, some of which were still bubbling and emitting a pungent smell.

It was hard for Yang Tian to believe that this place had been deserted for thousands of years.

The manual also gave a detailed introduction to the functions of the experimental area. This was a comprehensive experimental area that could be used for various experiments such as potions, alchemy, and blood. On the shelves along the walls, countless rolls of parchment were neatly placed, which were used to record the research results and related data of various experiments. The sheer number of them also made Yang Tian smack his lips...

The impression Yang Tian had of the book collection area was classical and luxurious. On the huge oak bookcases, patterns of flowers, birds, mountains, and landscapes made of materials such as chalcedony, agate, and colored glaze could be seen everywhere; the air was filled with the faint scent of books, which made people feel peaceful and satisfied; in short, it was very classy.

However, there are some shortcomings. Although the book collection area has been expanded by the traceless extension spell, the space is really not big. Even so, there are only dozens of bookshelves in the entire reading area, and half of them are empty. The only consolation is that every book displayed on the bookshelf is extremely rare. At least, Yang Tian has not seen any of them in the huge Hogwarts library.

The most thoughtful thing is that there is a comfortable sofa and a small coffee table in the corner of the book collection area, where people can relax and immerse themselves in the world of books. Salazar seems to have considered the utmost for his disciples...

As for the material section, it was also very shocking. The densely packed shelves were filled with all kinds of strange materials, like a hodgepodge. There were countless ores, metals, herbs, rare potion materials, etc., especially the two large shelves on the side, which were filled with various bottles and jars, containing colorful powders and liquids, and the spells and symbols on the labels were confusing. It seemed that there was still a lot worth studying in this material section.

Although Yang Tian's suitcase also has a large amount of inventory, even more than what is stored here. But compared with the materials on these shelves, they are less rare and less vintage...

Compared to other areas, the treasure area is much more "plain and unpretentious" without so many fancy things. In this area, we can only see piles of gold Galleons lying alone on the ground, which looks very much like the vault in Gringotts.

Not only that, there were several quaint large boxes next to the "Golden Garon Mountain". Yang Tian curiously opened them and found that one of the boxes was filled with colorful magic gems, another box was filled with various alchemical equipment, and in addition, some magic relics of unknown origin and unknown function filled the remaining boxes.

Although Yang Tian did not check them one by one due to time constraints, he still clearly felt Salazar's dedication. The main feature of this treasure area is a rich and inhumane...

Speaking of which, the training area was the area that surprised Yang Tian the most. He originally thought that this ordinary training ground would be similar to the training ground provided by the Room of Requirement. Who knew that there would be a world of difference.

This training ground can not only build external environments such as terrain and weather according to the requirements of trainees, but also has 30 land-based training puppets and 20 aerial training puppets. What's even more outrageous is that these puppets that have mastered alchemy can not only launch physical attacks, but can even imitate wizards to launch many magical attacks. Training here will definitely achieve twice the result with half the effort.

He even had a feeling that no one could build such a training ground now, and it was most likely a product of magical ruins...

Yang Tian finally came to the rest area, thinking that this was just a place for people to rest and there would be no new discoveries. But he was wrong. Salazar Slytherin placed his most important thing here, which was Salazar's notebook. This notebook was a review of his life in his later years, carrying Salazar's research ideas and survival philosophy.

Yang Tian read the notebook carefully and soon learned about Salazar's life. It was only at this moment that he had a clear understanding of Salazar.

Although Salazar had made great achievements in many fields throughout his life, such as Legilimency, black magic, potions, etc., what he valued most and was most proud of was his research on bloodline.

He was a supporter of pure-blood supremacy in the Middle Ages, and a wizard who had truly witnessed the power of blood magic. He watched bloodlines grow from strong to weak, and then to decline; he watched the hostility and extermination of declining wizards by Muggles during that special period; he felt a deep sense of crisis!

He even predicted in his notes that human nature is greedy, and when others have abilities that you don't have, and you are strong enough, you will make the following choices: either plunder or enslave.

Therefore, if the wizards' strength continued to decline as their bloodline became thinner, they would eventually be on the road to complete destruction; and the ones who destroyed the wizards would inevitably be the Muggles; this was also the reason why he strongly opposed Hogwarts recruiting Muggle wizards.

At the same time, he also firmly believed that only by regaining the lost power in his bloodline could the wizard become strong again and not fear any enemy.

To this end, he did a lot of blood research.

The core idea of ​​Salazar's bloodline research is that the so-called pursuit of blood purity is more like a pursuit of the true meaning of magic, or an exploration of the essence of magic.

According to his idea, the abilities acquired by the first generation of pure-blood wizards were of a higher level and pure and flawless. However, they had no way to pass these abilities on to the next generation. Therefore, they could only pass on some of their abilities to the next generation by sacrificing bloodline reproduction.

If you want to infer the blood of your ancestors from the blood of your descendants, you can't just focus on the purity of the blood, you should also understand the nature of the lost ability...

It has to be said that Salazar is a very charismatic person. His thoughts and memories fascinate Yang Tian.

Yang Tian even forgot to use the Eagle Eyes and Book Dance spells. He just carefully flipped through the pages, feeling them bit by bit...

When Yang Tian finally got out of his notebook, it was already five in the morning. He quickly packed up everything and prepared to leave. Before leaving, he found a lifelike snake bracelet on his wrist, which was the special ability given to the snake monster by the beast taming ring...
