Hogwarts behind-the-scenes big boss

Chapter 6 Salazar's Gift

Moriarty orders Lockhart, Ingo, and Luke to go out and stay in the hall.

And he picked up the notebook.

"Ding dong~ The host has been detected and found Salazar Slytherin's diary. Five exploration draws will be awarded."

Moriarty felt a little surprised. The entire castle only provided ten lottery draws, but this diary provided five draws, which made him look forward to the contents inside.

Moriarty turned to the first page, and there was a line of elegant handwriting on it.

"Open your eyes to see death, close your eyes to see the future."

Moriarty read softly, this sentence is the spell to unlock the castle.

He turned to the second page and it read, "Death is eternal life."

"It's really interesting." Moriarty stretched out his fingers and stroked the page. Even after more than nine hundred years, the paper was still soft. Just like this sentence, there were no prominent words, it was as plain as telling a fact, but the result

But it makes my scalp numb.

"Death is always a secret that wizards cannot figure out, and immortality is the pursuit of quite a few dark wizards." Moriarty sat down on the noble chair and put his hands on the gold-rimmed velvet armrests, "But

In the Middle Ages where Salazar's ancestors lived, there should have been no concept of dark wizards, and every archmage who reached the legendary realm would have explored immortality."

The two paragraphs of notes aroused Moriarty's ambition, and he couldn't wait to turn to the third page, only to see it written in scarlet blood: "Never believe in goblins!"

Turning back further, the third page, the fourth page... until the last page, there are some notes on potions, spells, and runes. It's like death and immortality have never been talked about. They are no longer a topic.

.

Moriarty placed the notebook on the desk. Although there was no record of death and immortality, it contained detailed records of 17 potions and 34 spells invented by Salazar Slytherin.

"I think this knowledge will make my college life less boring." Moriarty smiled with satisfaction. He took out his list and wrote: "In the first year, I successfully refined three potions and mastered them.

Five kinds of spells."

After writing down his plan, Moriarty saw a rectangular sandalwood box on the table. Time had not faded the box, and it was still a bright golden red.

This color is not common in the castle, and golden red is the favorite color of Salazar's friend and rival, Godric Gryffindor.

Moriarty curiously opened the box and found a large set of keys inside. The largest red key was marked "Underground Secret Room".

"Luke!" Moriarty shouted, grabbing the red key and walking out of the bedroom: "Take me to the basement, quickly!"

Luke jumped out: "Master, please come with me. The basement is divided into two floors. The first floor is the vault, which contains the treasures that the master obtained from the goblins. The second floor stores the supplies that the master has hoarded."

Since he didn't know whether the underground chamber was on the first or second floor, Moriarty decided to start from the first floor.

As they passed the hall, Moriarty heard Lockhart asking Ingo a question.

"I've been thinking about something for a long time. You know Ingo, you and the house elves can't leave the castle, so how did you survive for nine hundred years? I mean, where did you get the food?"

"There is a big lake behind the castle, hum." Ingo did not answer directly, but smiled cruelly.

"Oh, okay," Lockhart glanced at Ingo with disgust, then asked: "So about the wealth of the castle, was it really Salazar who got it from the goblin? I don't remember it in "History of Magic"

There are records of conflicts between Salazar and goblins.”

Ingo glared at him fiercely and moved his lips but made no sound.

Moriarty guessed that he must be cursing Salazar, but he didn't dare to say anything. Maybe it had something to do with the golden shackles.

"Follow me, Lockhart, let's go to the vault," Moriarty said seasonedly: "As long as you are willing to pay, even the troll will read your new book!"

Lockhart ran over with eyes shining, and kept talking to himself along the way, as if he was rehearsing the press conference in advance, and he looked very proud.

"Master, we are here." Luke opened the vault door with one finger.

The dark basement was instantly illuminated, and Moriarty and Lockhart couldn't open their eyes due to the mountains of gold and sparkling gems and pearls.

Luke thought he had hurt Moriarty. He cried and said, "This is all my fault. I have never been to the vault. I didn't know it was as bright as heaven here."

"Aha, this is heaven!" Lockhart covered his eyes, tears streaming down his face, but he didn't care at all, intoxicated by the scent of money.

After waiting for a moment, Moriarty could clearly see the internal structure of the vault.

The entire vault is as big as a football field, with gold bricks forming four walls that are airtight. The ceiling is studded with gems, emeralds, diamonds, and pearls, and there are countless treasures on the ground.

Crystal has become a symbol for classifying various treasures. There is a purple crystal wall between the gold and silver mountains, and a green crystal wall between the gold vessels and magic materials...

Then there are the gold coins issued by various countries and years, but they are the least valuable things in the vault. They are placed in piles in the corner.

"Wow!" Moriarty exclaimed in admiration. He is not greedy for money, but having this wealth will make him less hard-working. "Lockhart, just take a few gold bricks and use them as funds to promote the new book."

"Oh, Master..." Lockhart knelt on the floor paved with gold bricks, tears streaming down his face, and he opened his mouth and shook his head at Moriarty.

Moriarty didn't know what he meant, but his tears were definitely of joy.

"Luke, let's go to the second floor." Moriarty walked out of the vault. There was only money here, and there was obviously no trace of the secret room.

When we arrived at the second underground floor, it was not as dark as the first floor. The armor hanging on the wall always reflected some light.

Moriarty walked around looking for the underground secret room. In addition to armors, there were also giant swords, hammers, spears, shields, scepters and other weapons made by goblins.

"Found it!" Moriarty looked at a snake-shaped sculpture and shook his head: "Ancestor Salazar is really a stubborn old man. The place where those weird things are stored can never be separated from snakes."

Moriarty inserted the red key into the snake's mouth, and there was a crisp "click" sound, and a secret door appeared in the wall.

After taking a look at the secret door, which could only accommodate one person, Moriarty tightened the staff in his hand and strode in.

Moriarty was alert, but the possible danger did not come. The secret door led to a room with only an ordinary stone altar with an egg on it.

Sensing that the inside of the egg was releasing a weak magic power to the outside world, Moriarty gently put his hand on it, and sure enough he felt a gentle beating, as if there was a small heart inside.

Moriarty suddenly heard the system prompt:

"The egg in the host's hand is called an immortal phoenix egg. As a rare magical creature, the immortal phoenix contains the magic power of the fire element. It is a strange species among phoenixes. It will not reach nirvana because it cannot be killed, which is why it is difficult for it to hatch.

reasons."

This was the first time the system explained so much to Moriarty, making him realize that this egg was not simple.

"If the host is found, touched, and possesses the immortal phoenix egg, three exploration draws will be awarded.

It has been detected that the undead phoenix egg contains rich fire elemental magic power, and the host is now opening the path to advance elemental magic. Will the host choose it?"

Moriarty asked: "The path to advance in elemental magic? Are there any benefits to choosing him?"

"Since the Harry Potter world lacks a complete wizard level system, the system provides a path to advance in elemental magic.

Elemental magic can help the host study magic better and complete tasks faster.

As long as the host possesses the corresponding magic element, it can unlock the corresponding elemental magic.

Currently, the host has unlocked two elemental magics: fire element and water element."

"Water element?" Moriarty asked curiously. He had just unlocked the fire element magic through the immortal phoenix egg. When was the water element magic unlocked?

Moriarty had not been exposed to magic for long, and he quickly thought: "It was when we were fighting against the dark wizard! Ice magic array, ice snakes dance violently! I understand, in essence, ice is the changing form of water.

, so ice magic belongs to water element magic."

"If the inherited magic of the Slytherin family is all water element magic, why should I not learn it?" Moriarty said with a smile. Compared with the treasures in the vault, knowledge is the real wealth.

"The system does not allow one person to unlock multiple elemental magics at the same time, so the host can only choose one elemental magic to learn.

It is recommended that the host chooses the water element. If the host chooses the water element, due to the host's excellent performance in the task of "Fighting the Dark Wizard", the host will become a level 25 junior wizard.

If the host chooses the fire element, he can only start as a level 3 magic apprentice."

"Magic apprentices and junior wizards?" Moriarty played with the immortal phoenix egg in his hand, "It makes up for the hierarchical division of magic in the Harry Potter world, and reclassifies magic according to elemental magic. It is becoming more and more interesting.

Well, I choose the path of advanced water element magic."

"It costs 2,000 points to unlock the water element."

Moriarty paid the points, and now he only had 600 points left. Fortunately, he still had 18 exploration draws.

With the soft sound of "ding dong", a large amount of information appeared in Moriarty's mind.

There are ten titles on the path to advance in elemental magic.

Magic apprentice, trainee wizard, junior wizard, senior wizard, magician, magician, magister, grand magister, archmage, legendary archmage.

After reaching the level 99 legendary archmage, what awaits him is level 100 becoming a god!

Moriarty shook his head slightly to break away from his longing. He clicked on the mall to check the water element magic inside.

Just one "Prison Ice Disaster" costs 5,000 points, and the "Water-derived Creation" that can collectively restore vitality is even more, costing 10,000 points.

Moriarty took his fancy to a passive magic: Tide.

When injured, you can recover a small amount of life force for yourself every three seconds.

You can add a layer of tide to the enemy during combat. When three layers of tide are added, the chance of freezing the enemy is greatly increased.

It only costs 800 points, which is not very expensive but practical.

"There are still 200 points left. Maybe I should go meet the British wizard."

Moriarty narrowed his eyes and thought about how to get more points. If he stayed in the castle, there was no doubt that the system would not issue tasks.

At this time, the Ice Moon Necklace in the system space suddenly emits a dazzling white light!

"Ding dong~ It is detected that the host's water element magic corresponds to the Ice Moon Necklace. The host obtains the right to use the Ice Moon Necklace and is rewarded with an achievement lottery."
