Chapter 192 Slytherin's Magic Notebook

The last person to visit here?

For no reason, the image of a person suddenly appeared in Snape's mind.

"Mystery man?!"

Fortunately, Snape suddenly figured out all the key points.

"Sebastian, are you saying that the person who opened the secret room this time was the mysterious man?"

His face was terribly serious. "Like last year, has he sneaked into Hogwarts again?"

"Who did he possess this time? Did you find this person?"

"Don't worry, Severus," Sebastian said with a reassuring smile, "You-Know-Who is not lurking in Hogwarts."

"It was just that a dark magic item with his consciousness bewitched a student and opened the door to the Chamber of Secrets."

"I have already taken care of it. Otherwise, how could I let the students investigate everywhere without worrying about it? You know, that person is not a generous guy."

Seeing that Snape looked a little better, Sebastian continued.

"But you guessed right. The last person who visited here was indeed a mysterious person."

"Look," he said to Snape, pointing to the handwriting on the parchment. "This is the handwriting he left fifty years ago."

"Fifty years ago?" Snape pondered as he looked at the neat handwriting on the parchment. "He was still a student at that time, right?"

"Right," Sebastian nodded, "This Halloween is actually the second time the Chamber of Secrets has been opened."

"When the mysterious man was in school, he opened the Chamber of Secrets for the first time and released the basilisk, killing a Muggle student, Myrtle."

"He put the blame on Hagrid and won a special contribution award. The medal is still in the display room."

"To be honest, putting aside those dirty tricks," Sebastian read the contents of the parchment, "just looking at his knowledge, he was indeed an amazing talent at that time."

“The ideas on these parchments are all unique and seem very illuminating.”

"Okay, let's not talk about him anymore. Let's focus on what Slytherin himself left behind."

As he spoke, Sebastian waved his wand and sorted out the mess of parchment on the table.

Snape didn't think any more and carefully picked up an old magic notebook and started reading.

[Today, Godric proposed an interesting idea. He wanted the wizard's body to have a high resistance to magic like a dragon. In this way, he could withstand the enemy's attack and chop off the enemy's head with one sword.

It's a wild idea, but it's just wishful thinking. Wizards are already favored by God. If they are given dragon-like defense and magic resistance, wow...]

[I met an Animagus today, and it suddenly occurred to me that Gryffindor's fantasy might actually come true.

Wizards have long believed that the Animagus's transformation is uncontrollable and that it cannot transform into a magical creature.

[They have lost their enterprising spirit and their desire to explore, and they are afraid that they will turn themselves into monsters.

These mediocre people have never thought that every invention and improvement of magic is accompanied by uncontrollable risks.

If you don't even have the courage to devote yourself to magic, you are destined not to go far on the path of magic.

[Starting today, I will conduct a great experiment - improving Animagus so that wizards can transform themselves into powerful magical animals.

Just wait and see, I'm a Slytherin! 】

this......

Snape was filled with shock. He had never expected that Slytherin's ambitions were so great.

You know, Animagus can only transform into ordinary animals, like Professor McGonagall transforming into an ordinary tabby cat.

No one has ever been able to use the Animagus to transform into a magical beast.

How arrogant and conceited this founder was that he dared to challenge the iron law of Animagus.

Do not!

Perhaps it would be more appropriate to describe Slytherin's mentality as confidence.

Standing at the top of that era, Slytherin was full of confidence in his knowledge.

In his mind, there is no authority and everything must be tested before it can be spoken.

Therefore, he was confident that he could improve the Animagus transformation process.

Snape flipped through it and found that what followed were all Slytherin's various theoretical derivations. He was proving the feasibility of the experiment step by step from a theoretical level.

After finishing one notebook, Snape impatiently took out the second one and started reading it.

[From a theoretical perspective, there is indeed room for improvement in the Animagus transformation process.

After repeated scrutiny, I found that there were no flaws in my theoretical derivation.

However, there are two major obstacles to transforming into a powerful magical animal.

First of all, in the process of using Animagus to transform into ordinary animals, magic power is only required for transformation, which puts little burden on the wizard.

However, if you want to transform into a magical beast, the magic power consumption in this process will increase exponentially. Ordinary wizards simply do not have enough magic power to maintain such a high-intensity transformation process.

What's more complicated is that after transforming into a magical beast, it needs to continue to consume a large amount of magic power to support its huge size and the unique magical properties of these magical beasts.

This alone is enough to screen out 99 percent of wizards in the magical world.

However, I believe that my magic power can meet this requirement, so this is not difficult for me. 】

[The second question is really tricky.

In the process of improving the Animagus potion, it is necessary to add the blood of the target magical animal.

However, how to deal with this blood is a huge challenge.

From a magical perspective, blood contains all the information about a living being.

For magical creatures, the amount of information carried in their blood is extremely huge, which is a huge burden for wizards who want to transform.

What’s more complicated is that blood not only contains physiological information of organisms, but also some indescribable elements, such as will, personality, emotions, etc.

For safety reasons, the blood must be properly processed, otherwise it will be almost impossible to successfully transform into a magical creature. 】

[You can no longer make deductions on paper. If you want to get first-hand data, you must experiment in person. ]

[The first experiment, the transformation failed, the blood was processed too harshly, resulting in a lot of information being lost. ]

[In the second experiment, the dragon's consciousness was too violent. Before it lost its mind, I took the initiative to interrupt the transformation.

Fortunately, I am strong enough. If I were an ordinary person, I would have definitely been transformed into a monster. 】

[For the third experiment, I chose Bigfoot, an ape-like magical animal that is similar in shape to humans and very powerful. Unfortunately, it failed again. The specific reason is unknown, but I just felt a blood conflict.

This failure left me with some sequelae, and my appearance changed towards that of an ape, but it doesn't matter, it's a necessary sacrifice.

I will continue to experiment and will not stop until I succeed. 】

......

Snape flipped through the magic notebooks one by one, which recorded all the steps of each Slytherin experiment.

It includes the improved plan for blood treatment, the feelings of the transformation process, the experimental experience after failure, and the improvement plan.

Snape turned to the last page of the last notebook with mixed feelings, which recorded

[After nearly ten years of experiments, there has not been a single success. The conflict in the blood is becoming more and more obvious. No matter how I improve the method of processing blood, I cannot avoid this problem.

I'm tired...

Perhaps I was wrong from the beginning, and there is really no possibility of improvement for Animagus.

I am too arrogant.

Now, I will leave Hogwarts, and these notes will remain in this Chamber of Secrets.

Please stay, Basilisk, my dear little one. I really don’t want to leave you.

However, Hogwarts needs you more. If one day, Hogwarts is in danger, you need to stand up and protect this school on my behalf...】

After closing the magic notebook, Snape let out a long sigh.

It turns out that this is the truth about the Chamber of Secrets, and this is the truth why Slytherin left the basilisk.

However, after a thousand years, the basilisk had become old and confused.

Moreover, Voldemort's appearance regained control of the basilisk.

This also explains why there have been no incidents of basilisks attacking students before.

Putting down the magic notebook in his hand, Snape looked at Sebastian and spoke earnestly.

"Sebastian, unfortunately, we don't have what you are looking for here."

"Slytherin did not leave behind a so-called inheritance."

"Perhaps, those ancient magic books can make up for your regrets."

Hearing Snape's consolation, Sebastian turned his eyes away from the magic notebook and smiled at Snape.

"Who says there isn't one? In my opinion, these notebooks are it."

"If I can complete Slytherin's unfinished research, this would be a different kind of inheritance."

"Let's go up first, so as not to keep Professor McGonagall waiting."

"As for this experiment." Sebastian smiled confidently.

"I've got some ideas!"

......
