Hogwarts: This Dark Lord is so evil.

Chapter 276 The sarcophagus that seals the soul and the disappeared ancient sage!
Li Weide was also very uneasy at this time.

If there really is someone who can use wizards like Slytherin as experimental subjects, then this guy is too dangerous, right?
And... if he could make the body and soul of Slytherin, this "experiment", live for thousands of years at the same time and still not age, then what about him?
Slytherin's current state can basically be said to be the same as when he "died".

According to the connection between the body and the soul, if Slytherin's body is still alive, then his body must be the same as that of his senior sister, and has not changed much so far.

You know, even the legendary alchemist Nicolas Flamel could not prevent the decay of his own body.

The existence of the Philosopher's Stone can only help him live longer, but his body will still age.

Nicolas Flamel's body was so fragile that even shaking Jacob's hand would break his bones...

In other words, if Slytherin's guess is correct, then wouldn't this person have solved the problem of immortality thousands of years ago?
This is true eternal life!

That's when the problem arises.

Why is Slytherin's grave located below the wizard tower? Is it just a coincidence?

Why did the Slytherin ghost suddenly wake up and attack himself?

There is no doubt that if he had not learned nightmare magic, he would really be dead!
Could it be that it was really just because he was holding the remains of the basilisk that Slytherin accidentally woke up?

No... Slytherin told himself that he floated up in a daze after waking up, and only launched an attack angrily after discovering the remains of the basilisk in his hand!

Does that mean that the man had predicted a thousand years ago that someone would build a wizard tower on Slytherin's grave, and that this wizard tower would eventually fall into his hands?

So, he deliberately set it up a thousand years ago, and then waited for me to move in before letting the Slytherin ghost kill me?

Isn't this ridiculous? He has the ability to attack Slytherins at will, and he can live for thousands of years!

Is it really necessary to go through so much trouble to kill someone like this?
Why not just come over here and kill him? Why bother with all this planning?

Also... since such a person exists, then ancient magic... parallel worlds and so on, are they related to him?

The more I think about it, the more confused I become!
This matter is full of doubts and a lot of unreasonable aspects...

Li Weide felt like his brain was about to explode.

The Slytherin's body sank suddenly, then disappeared through the floor.

"Where are you going?" Li Weide asked.

"Dig the grave!" Slytherin's angry voice came from the first floor.

Li Weide had no choice but to Apparate to the first floor.

Slytherin raised his wand and dug up the floor that had been repaired before!

Li Weide stood aside and said nothing.

He knew very well that at this moment, the angry Slytherin needed to vent.

Only after venting his anger could he calm down and discuss it with himself.

Slytherin's grave-digging skills are much more proficient than Levid's.

Levid dug up the entire floor, while Slytherin dug out a smooth tunnel...

It can be seen that Slytherin must have done this work a lot in the past.

But it is true that this is indeed a basic skill if you want to adventure in various ruins.

"Isn't this passage a bit narrow?" Li Weide asked.

"This is for you to dig. To save time, a smaller one will suffice," Slytherin said as he sank down again and disappeared into the floor.

"No...how did you pass through the wall with your wand?" Li Weide was puzzled.

"It's just a little trick...you still can't get down?" Slytherin's voice came from the passage, sounding muffled.

Li Weide sighed. When he reburied the grave, he was a bit rough.

So, in order to avoid the tragic situation of appearing in the soil when Apparating, Levitra slid down the tunnel that Slytherin had dug for him...

Li Weide quickly reached the bottom, and the wand in his hand emitted a white light, illuminating the surrounding situation.

At this time, Slytherin was using magic to dig up the place where it was originally buried.

After a while, the sarcophagus opened by Li Weide appeared in front of the two.

Li Weide took a closer look. He had actually seen this before. Even though he was looking at it for the second time, Li Weide's conclusion was no different from before.

It doesn't look like there's a dead person lying here... No, it should be said that there's not even a trace of a living person lying here for a long time.

"This is an empty coffin." Slytherin sniffed and said.

At first, Slytherin was still in ghost form and couldn't smell anything. Now, with the blessing of the Obscurus' clothes, Slytherin has the ability to touch things and smell things again.

"There's no smell of death in here!" Slytherin added.

"So, there is no such thing as temporarily teleporting your physical body away?" Li Weide asked.

“Yes…this is a new sarcophagus! But…why did I think my own remains were here?” Slytherin frowned. Livid waved his wand, clearing away the dust and remnants of cloth from the sarcophagus. At the bottom of the sarcophagus, more than a dozen strange runes appeared!

The order of these magic runes is very strange, like a... magic circle.

"Do you recognize what kind of magic rune this is?" Li Weide asked.

"No... I've never seen it..." The Slytherin frowned and studied it.

After a long while, he spoke again, "Hiss... These runes seem to have... many key strokes missing! These runes are incomplete!"

Li Weide also took a closer look. Sure enough, there were some faint traces in some places among those magic words, as if someone had altered them...

However, due to the extent of the alteration, these magic runes cannot be restored at all.

Moreover, those magic runes had been destroyed, and just from the strokes, Li Weide could not tell how long these magic runes had existed.

After all, Li Weide had no knowledge of archaeology and cultural relics.

However, Slytherin still has research on this.

"These runes have existed for thousands of years." Slytherin carefully identified the strokes of the runes and muttered.

When Li Weide heard this, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration and had a new idea.

"Is it possible that this sarcophagus isn't for your body, but... for your soul?"

The Slytherin turned around suddenly and looked at Levid.

"Look... if that person separated your body and soul, then your soul would have to be stored somewhere... and this sarcophagus happens to be a new coffin that has never held a corpse before..."

Slytherin nodded slowly. "If my soul has been sleeping in this sarcophagus for many years, and these runes are meant to preserve... no, to seal my soul... then it makes sense. Why do I feel like my bones are here...? Because I've been here for so long, my soul has become accustomed to treating this sarcophagus as my own body..."

Based on the clues obtained so far, this guess is the most reasonable.

Next, Levitra and Slytherin spent some time clearing out the debris in the entire tomb, and then used a repair spell to repair the collapsed area.

After a while, a complete tomb chamber appeared in front of the two again.

Afterwards, the two continued to search the tomb, and soon they found similar magic runes again on the cleaned ground and walls.

"Who on earth... let my soul sleep here forever, and then resurrected me after a thousand years..." Slytherin looked at the tomb with lifeless eyes.

Li Weide has already started to tear down the wall. He wants to see what era the materials used to build this tomb are from.

However, after removing a brick, Li Weide was stunned for a moment, because he felt a familiar magic in this brick...

"Old man... these stone bricks once retained the power of ancient magic... If this tomb was built a thousand years ago..." Li Weide turned his head and said.

Slytherin turned around in surprise. "What did you say? Ancient magic? The power of ancient sages? This... How is this possible?! If it was him..."

"Do you think it was done by the ancient sages of your time?" Li Weide asked with a frown.

Slytherin looked dejected. "If it were him... he could certainly do it, but this is impossible... How could someone like him do such a thing?"

Li Weide also felt complicated.

According to what Slytherin said, the ancient sages were people of his time who possessed ancient magical talents.

And that person also briefly taught the four giants...

Judging from Slytherin's tone at the time, he admired the ancient sage very much. Therefore, when there was evidence pointing to the ancient sage, Slytherin found it incredible.

"Then after I get out, I'll look up the information about this ancient sage... Maybe there will be records in some documents unearthed from ancient ruins." Li Weide frowned.

"What was the sage's name? Was he a man or a woman? Where did you meet him? Where did you learn magic from him?"

Following Levid's series of questions, Slytherin was stunned again.

Li Weide suddenly felt uneasy, "You haven't forgotten everything, have you?!"

"I...did forget..." Slytherin muttered.

"Fuck... How can we play this..." Li Weide rubbed his hair hard, feeling a little overwhelmed.

We just got a little clue, but Slytherin said he forgot?

Could it be that this is also related to parallel worlds? Is that ancient sage, like my senior sister, also inhabiting different worlds in both soul and body?

Otherwise, how could Slytherin forget such crucial information about someone he respected so much?

"No... no." Slytherin turned his head and said calmly, "I know very well that he won't do that!"

Li Weide raised his eyebrows. "Even if you forget his name, forget everything related to him, and only remember that he existed, you still think that this wasn't done by him?"

"Ved, you have no idea how great the ancient sages were... It's only now that their legacy has been cut off that you have such doubts. Otherwise, you wouldn't have any doubts about my thoughts!"
