Hogwarts Card System.

Chapter 195 The Slytherin Path

Ted pulled a small red and white ball from his pocket.

This Poké Ball is much smaller than the one Hermione had seen before, the one that pretended to be a chicken.

This one has been further optimized and is slightly smaller than a fist.

In fact, Ted's inspiration mainly comes from the "Untraceable Extension Spell", which is a very cool spell.

In the movie Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, Newt expands a zoo in a suitcase!

Ted simply simplified the interior decoration, and the space was about the size of a garden.

Oh, this one in your hand is not that. This one is only the size of a table, and there is a hamster nest inside.

Under the gaze of the friends, the Poké Ball was opened and a confused little white mouse came out.

Oh sorry, it's the magic mouse.

Now it is a magical animal.
We can affectionately call him "Stuart Little"~
"Hey, boy, go in and see if there's anything," Ted ordered.

The little mouse nodded and quickly got into the Slytherin's mouth.

Ted closed his eyes and began to observe from the perspective of Little Mouse. Well, it was a bit low and he couldn't see clearly. No wonder the old saying goes that rats have short-sightedness. It's true that their perspective is limited.

Little Mouse stood up and tried to look far away, but failed. However, he saw traces of human activities around him.

Continuing forward, we passed a place where a large snake scale was left behind. It might be the place where the basilisk had slept before, and there were marks on the wall.

Not long after that, Little Mouse came to a place that looked like a house. He climbed onto a table and could see a circle of bookshelves around it...

"It doesn't look dangerous. Let's go in and take a look." Ted put safety helmet spells on himself and his friends, and bent down to enter the cave first.

The long and narrow corridor should have had some wall reliefs or murals, but they have been worn away by the basilisk.

A thousand years is still too long.

But if you continue walking inside, at the end of the dark and narrow corridor, there is a huge spacious space.

Obviously, a space magic such as the Space Extension Spell was used here, and the entire space is much larger than the statue. But this feeling is not quite the same...

This place looks like a huge space with two floors in one. Large bookshelves are built on the walls, and there are many books on them...

The rows of serpentine lamps on the wall were burning with the everlasting Gublai fairy fire, illuminating the entire space brightly.

There is an extra-long laboratory table in the middle hall, on which are many quaintly shaped glassware. The liquids inside have dried up and turned black, and even turned into powder.

Whatever Slytherin had been studying here, it had now been destroyed by the greatest magic of all, time.

"Don't move, I'll go upstairs and take a look." Ted walked up the stairs and carefully reached the second floor.

There were no locked rooms in the row. Ted opened them carefully. Inside were rows of shelves, rows of items packed in containers, and some cages that were extended in space.

But whatever it was, it is now reduced to ash.

Ted tried to pick up a huge skull of an unknown beast, but it crumbled like a weathered cookie as soon as he touched it.

This secret room is connected to the castle, and the castle provides it with magical power to maintain its existence.

This may also be the reason why Ravenclaw discovered that Slytherin built the Chamber of Secrets - the Room of Requirement is the same as the backend administrator permissions.

Although the magic power can maintain the existence of the secret room, the magic potions, materials and other items in the secret room that are thousands of years old cannot be saved and are basically all destroyed.

I guess that was the case when Voldemort came in.

So even though he inherited the Chamber of Secrets, he was still poor and had to work in Knockturn Alley after graduation~poor~
But later, after checking the bookshelves on the first floor, Ted still felt that Tom must have taken away a considerable portion of the essence.

Especially some of the magical bloodline transformation and most of the black magic related information.

However, not long after he made a lot of money, he was targeted by Dumbledore for accidentally killing Moaning Myrtle, and he never dared to open the Chamber of Secrets again.

Even the blood research data he left in the storage space of the Room of Requirement led Professor Quirrell to this path, and he brought him back from the Albanian forest last year to satisfy his professor addiction. It can be said that every peck and every drink is a destiny~
The friends were a little hesitant to touch the large number of parchments, ancient books, and magic books in front of them, which were obviously very old and precious.

Ted had to start scanning and copying the information quickly, and sorting it out... They helped on the side, organizing the information left by Slytherin.

However, Ted estimated that Slytherin had not intended to leave behind anything earth-shattering, but only left a backup of the information and research he had collected for the school.

However, the most essential part about blood transformation and creation, as well as Slytherin's most praised black magic, was taken away by Voldemort.

But even these scattered materials still involve a vast amount of knowledge. In a sense, it is even more than what Ravenclaw left behind.

Because Ravenclaw actually just left his office behind, and didn't intend to leave anything behind.

Ancient magic runes, magical biology, magical bloodline transformation and creation, magical animal bionics, ancient magic... Slytherin is involved in a wide range of fields.

Moreover, he has begun to sort out the magic system and study the origin of magic.

Slytherin believes that magic is born from the soul of "living things (including lifeless magical beings)" or "pseudo-souls (a place similar to the soul that contains consciousness and thinking)".

But with long-term use of magic power, it will gradually be engraved in the blood and passed down.

He felt that this was also the reason why many first-generation wizards of Muggle origin were so outstanding, because they themselves were the source of this bloodline.

The wizards' earliest magics were all imitations of certain abilities of magical animals and magical beings, or certain phenomena between heaven and earth.

Wizards developed a yearning for it and created similar magic.

Magic like Horcruxes is created by dark wizards based on the abilities of dark magic creatures.

There are also many magical animals with abilities, such as the ability of birds and snakes to grow or shrink, the ability of ocelots to read souls... the weather spells and freezing spells derived from the natural climate...

Slytherin: I would call it bionic magic!

Maybe this is what is called following the laws of nature and learning from all things?
Slytherin even conducted some human experiments, trying to let wizards directly master the abilities of certain magical animals. No need to cast spells, but to be born with them!

This experiment is undoubtedly dangerous and unethical.

Many of Slytherin's opinions are very valuable. Of course, Ted cannot accept them all. He just wants to expand his thinking.

Although the current wizard magic system is much weaker than ancient magic, it is also very advanced in many aspects. There is no need to favor the ancient over the modern.

Ted looked at the scrolls and books that filled several walls and said softly, "These things are enough for us to learn until the fifth grade at least."

Ron on the side grinned and said, "Fifth grade? I thought I had to learn it for a lifetime!"

Ted consoled him, "Don't think that older things are better. If that were the case, wouldn't the ancient apes be the strongest? The current magic system has its own advantages. In many ways, it is much better than the unsystematic magic of thousands of years ago."

"Just think about it. It took generations and hundreds of years to invent and improve spells, but a young wizard can learn them in just one week. Because we stand on the shoulders of giants."

Ted gestured with his wand and said, "Also, some of Slytherin's research is too cruel and not suitable for children. There is a reason why he is considered a dark wizard. We don't need to learn this part."

If given a choice, Ted would rather delve into the heritage of Ravenclaw ladies, or the magical paths of Gryffindor or Hufflepuff.

Salazar Slytherin's path was not Ted's path.

Oh, by the way, after returning, I have to conduct psychological personality tests on myself and my friends, and closely observe whether our mental tendencies have been affected by black magic.

Because during the more than one hour of "organizing (copying)" the information, Ted actually gained "Bloodline Transformation +3 Level, Magical Zoology +2 Level"!

Is this impact coming too fast?
I just read it through and didn't even think about its contents!

The things Slytherin left behind are indeed something~
Ted didn't even dare to delve too deeply into it now.

This is like starting to study cutting-edge scientific topics before graduating from high school - pure nonsense, which will only confuse your mind.

Will affects magic, and magic will in turn affect one's mind.
