Mastering Thunder from Hogwarts

For more than an hour, Anduin began systematic research on the basilisk in front of him.

In addition to collecting basic data such as length, weight, body girth, and magic power reserves, he also collected the basilisk's blood, body fluids, teeth, scales, venom, and other materials.

This basilisk is 28 meters long and weighs more than 17 tons. It is truly a giant. It is larger and longer than any basilisk recorded in history.

The opponent's venom is unimaginably corrosive, the strength of the scales is also very high, and the components in the blood are also valuable for research.

The more he learned about the basilisk, the more Anduin was reluctant to kill it. Even from a biological point of view, this was an animal of great research value.

Not to mention that this is a rare species that has lived for more than a thousand years. Without it, it would be difficult for Anduin to get another basilisk.

Moreover, the basilisk and the elements of the secret room also gave him many wicked ideas.

After making up his mind, Anduin cast a spell to shrink the basilisk and carefully put it away. In time to prepare to raise it, he also had to deal with the opponent's indiscriminate death glare.

After properly dealing with the basilisk, Anduin once again focused on the secret room in front of him. As the secret room carefully built by Salazar Slytherin, the secret inside should be more than just a basilisk.

However, after a careful search, he found that there were no other mechanisms or secret rooms in this stone room full of stone pillars.

In the end, Anduin focused his attention on the open mouth of the stone statue.

Anduin took out a magic lantern, then used magic to control himself to float slowly, and then plunged in without looking back.

Inside the cave is an extremely dark, deep, and silent passage. The entire cave first climbed upwards for a while, and then turned into a rapidly sinking slope, with very long twists and turns.

But because it was too quiet, even from a long distance away, the slightest movement in the secret room could be heard clearly. It is no wonder that the Basilisk was able to discover Anduin's whereabouts so quickly.

After walking along the ramp for hundreds of meters, we finally arrived at a larger space, which was filled with a stench, as well as a large amount of excrement, animal bones and shed snake skins.

There are two channels divided into the space, and the sound of rushing water can be heard from one of them.

Anduin estimated that this should be the passage leading to the Black Lake of Hogwarts. If a basilisk wanted to survive for thousands of years, it would definitely not be able to survive without food. It must have entered and exited the secret room through this passage to find food.

However, after so many years, no one in the school has discovered this basilisk. It seems that the exit of the passage should be located far away from the castle.

After a brief consideration, Anduin thought it would be better to see where the other hole leads to first.

And after walking along the unknown passage for some distance, we arrived at the end, where again there was a stone wall carved with snake patterns.

When Anduin saw this, he naturally used his old trick and opened the door easily. He was speechless at this point. He only learned a word of snake language, and he was able to come and go in the secret room freely.

It is obvious that when Salazar Slytherin established the Chamber of Secrets, it was not simply to ensure its confidentiality, but to ensure that it could only be opened by his descendants.

On the other side of the stone wall is a laboratory-like room, roughly the size of a classroom. In addition to two workbenches and a desk, there are rows of wooden bookshelves inside.

However, most of the objects were in a state of decay, perhaps due to the passage of time. Some of the bookshelves even fell apart due to damage, and the parchments and books on them were also broken into pieces.

"It seems that this was Slytherin's secret laboratory. I don't know if I can gain anything here."

Anduin was holding his nose and groaning. The environment here was extremely fragile. He didn't even dare to use magic to ventilate it, for fear that the slightest movement would cause everything inside to be broken into pieces.

And even though Anduin was extremely careful when sorting it out, he still couldn't rescue much useful information from his desk and bookshelf.

Even if these poorly maintained books are not completely broken and rotten, the ink stains on them have become so faded by the passage of time that the contents are completely unclear.

This may be related to the fact that the secret room is located underground. In a dark and humid environment, items decay too quickly.

In the end, Anduin spent nearly two hours cleaning out two entire buildings of corrupt and useless garbage, as well as three pieces of relatively well-preserved information.

Among these three materials, there is a diary, a magic book and an enchanted parchment.

The diary was well preserved and the material used was very precious dragon belly skin, which is why it can withstand the test of time.

The contents inside were all Slytherin's experiences and thoughts recorded back then. Anduin flipped through two pages and found that there was nothing academically related in it, so he put it aside temporarily.

As for the magic book, it was enchanted with a charm that automatically absorbs magic power, so it was also well preserved, but the content inside was somewhat unsatisfactory.

The book records a large number of complex black magic that were very rare at that time, and even the method of making a basilisk is recorded.

But from today's perspective, most of the magic here is somewhat outdated or outdated.

After all, the wizarding world has been developing continuously for thousands of years, even black magic.

This magic book may have been very valuable back then, but now any book on black magic theory will outshine it by several blocks. Therefore, compared to the research value of this magic book, its collection value may be greater.

Putting away the magic book with some regret, Anduin picked up the last page of parchment. To be honest, he didn't have much expectations now.

In other words, how could he think that the magic theory from a thousand years ago could surpass the wizarding world today?

But when he gradually saw the contents on the parchment clearly, Anduin couldn't help but take a breath of air.

The style of the parchment in front of me is consistent with the Slytherin manuscript Anduin obtained in the Travers family treasure house, and what is recorded on it is a special magic called magic.

The reason why it is special is that the magic mist is not a kind of magic spell that can be cast by chanting a spell, but a unique method of casting spells or a theory of magic spells, and forms a complete system. As long as it is cast,

Slightly adjusting the structure of the runes during the spell can produce different effects.

To put it simply, the magic mist is a magic similar to the mist spell. After casting the spell, you can release a large cloud of mist at will.

By using the spell-casting method recorded in the manuscript, you can change the attributes and properties of this cloud at will.

Turn it into a corrosive poisonous mist, with a fire mist that can be detonated by a spark, similar to the ice mist Anduin learned from the Silver Spear, etc.

At the same time, according to this system, by adding the effects of different magic runes to the magic mist, you can get mist with different effects. For example, adding a hypnotic spell can get a hypnotic mist, adding a curse or a cloud with a curse.

.

Therefore, the danger of "Magic Mist" fluctuates greatly. If it is just the simplest spell, it will be no different than the more misty spell. But if a powerful curse or virus is added to it, it can cause a disaster.

.

Of course, if the function of the magic spell is just to cast misty clouds with different characteristics, it is not very special. After all, through the combination of runes, similar spells can be produced even without this method.

The most special thing about magic mist is its extremely high magic power conversion efficiency. Just for several kinds of magic mist recorded in the manuscript, the conversion rate is at least 80%.

The specific effect is that when casting a spell, it only consumes a small amount of magic power to create a wide area of ​​cloud and mist, and it becomes very easy to control the concentration of characteristics in it.

You must know that if ordinary magic spells achieve this kind of efficiency, they can be called level four magic spells.

It can be said that in the eyes of Anduin, the most valuable thing about the Magic Moist is not its own power and effect, but this efficient rune system.

If this system could be deconstructed, wouldn't it be as easy as drinking water to invent new spells in the future?

Of course, even the current magic cloud shows extremely high development potential. Using it, Anduin can create several or a dozen new cloud magics in just a few months.

"But looking at the structure of the manuscript, the basic theory of the magic cloud appears to be very complete. It looks like a mature magic system at first glance."

"But the several rune formulas recorded below have obvious traces of derivation. It looks like they are applying the magic mist theory to try to develop new magic spells."

Anduin could clearly sense the inconsistency in it, and after thinking about it for a while, he thought of a possibility.

"Is this magic mist not a magic developed by Slytherin himself, but learned from somewhere else? Otherwise it would be difficult to explain this content, which seems to be written by two different people."

After thinking about it, Anduin felt that this was the only possibility. Otherwise, why would a wizard who could develop the magic cloud be so awkward when using it to develop new spells?

"But if the theory of magic is not invented by Slytherin, then who is it? This is obviously a very mature and advanced magic theory. Logically speaking, it should not be unknown in the wizarding world."

"The inventor must be a wizard with extremely high magical attainments. Could it be Ms. Ravenclaw?"

Anduin frowned inexplicably, "No, Ms. Ravenclaw is not a self-respecting person. Her works are included in the library and Ravenclaw Tower, and I have never heard of her doing this.

It’s a strange cloud magic.”

"Could it be?"

Anduin recalled the records in the magic cloud, and suddenly raised his head, "Is it... the despicable Haierbo?"

"It can't be wrong!" Anduin once again confirmed his guess, "Injecting curses and viruses into the magic mist and turning it into a natural disaster that affects a wide range is simply a method tailor-made for Haierbo's plague.

"

"Furthermore, the logical structure of this kind of magic is so rigorous that it cannot be researched for decades or hundreds of years. I am afraid that only Haierbo will focus on developing magic like magic that focuses on diffusion and adaptability."

Anduin didn't expect to see anything related to Haierbo here. He thought it would take at least several years to decades before he could hear news about the other party.

However, just getting a magic spell that was suspected to be developed by Haierbo seemed to be of little use, but he soon turned his attention to the diary.

Maybe... there will be clues related to Halbo in Slytherin's diary?

Thinking of this, Anduin opened the diary again, but this time he did not flip through it hastily, but read it carefully.

This diary of Slytherin records the 7th year after he and the other three founders of Hogwarts built the school. It is also the seventh year after he secretly built the Chamber of Secrets and was about to leave the school.

A large part of the content at the beginning of the diary consists of Salazar Slytherin's complaints about the Muggle students in the school and his unpleasant complaints with the other founders.

Even in his diary, Slytherin would occasionally recall the past and blame himself at the same time.

At the very beginning, Slytherin, like several of the founders, witnessed firsthand the oppression and persecution of the wizarding world by the church. In order to change this situation, these four like-minded wizards joined hands to create Hogwarts.

In the beginning, Slytherin was not really against Muggles and Muggle students. After all, their purpose in establishing a magic school was.

Essentially, it is to allow more Muggles with wizarding talents to integrate into the wizarding world and become real wizards, rather than idiots and fakes in the church, at least that's how Slytherin described them in his diary.

But soon, Slytherin realized the difficulty of this project. Muggle children of that era, except for a few noble children, did not even know the words!

Therefore, when the school was first established, it even set up a special literacy class to teach Muggle students the most basic reading and writing.

But those Muggle students are those who are extremely purely illiterate. Let alone words, students who can write letters correctly and spell out their names after one class can be called geniuses.

Literating a student is not a small project and may take years of effort.

So in Hogwarts back then, you might have seen a fourth-year or even fifth-year student who could barely cast a levitating spell.

Who could have imagined that the legendary wizard Salazar Slytherin’s daily job was teaching a bunch of children ABC.

This kind of work experience would be okay if it was only for a day or two, but after several years of hard work, Slytherin was a little broken.

In his eyes, this is a complete waste of his precious time. Wouldn't it be nice for him to have the time to study a few more new magics?

So on every page of the diary, you can see Slytherin complaining about the stupidity of those Muggle students. He really couldn't understand that a wizard would actually be complacent about being able to recite a short passage smoothly?

The latest first release.
