Hogwarts: From Luna's House to Godhood Through Intense Competition

Whether it's the blood of the Thestral, the Irish phoenix, or the constant casting of the Killing Curse, it's all part of the process of giving the male egg the characteristic of "death."

The final effect is already evident in the basilisk—it not only possesses deadly fangs but can also kill by staring at people.

Every single one of them is permeated with the characteristic of "death".

Indirect contact with the basilisk's gaze will result in a petrification curse, likely related to items such as garnet containers, sunstones, and flints...

The entire process of Salazar making rooster eggs is something Wizette can relive repeatedly.

As he continues to accumulate magical knowledge, he will surely be able to experience even more of its mysteries.

Salazar's experiments also broadened Wizette's horizons.

Having witnessed the Killing Curse so many times, he unknowingly mastered how to cast it.

When the Killing Curse is cast, it releases a dazzling, chilling green light, along with an extremely faint, almost inaudible whisper.

The whispers were not only urgent but also filled with malice, like the murmur of death.

Vizette had to watch Salazar and cast the Killing Curse again and again before she could confirm the existence of the whispering voice.

……

Like the Soul-Stealing Curse, the Killing Curse is an unforgivable curse.

The two Unforgivable Curses have in common that casting a Killing Curse is actually quite simple; you just need to recite the incantation correctly to release it.

There are also differences between them. For example, to successfully cast a killing curse, one needs to imbue the incantation with emotion, a strong desire to send the other person to their death.

This is why the Killing Curse is listed as an unforgivable curse. If the Killing Curse can be successfully cast, it means that the caster is filled with murderous intent.

In addition, the wand will vibrate violently when the Killing Curse is cast, so the caster needs to be especially careful to hit the target accurately.

This was a characteristic that Vizet deduced from Salazar's wand-holding posture through repeated observations.

When Salazar casts the Killing Curse, he usually grips his wand tightly, and the veins on the back of his hand may even bulge out.

Even so, when the green light suddenly appears, the tip of the wand will still rise slightly...

Chapter 177 The Cursed Contract with the Basilisk

After successfully producing the male egg, Salazar immediately began the incubation process.

Vizette could tell that Salazar had integrated the previous 180 experiments and applied them to the 181st experiment.

Salazar continued to feed the toad Thestral blood to replenish its "death" attribute.

He also transformed the original chicken coop, combining ritual magic and alchemy, and finally designed a brand new hatchery with an alchemical magic circle as the main element.

By combining the books in his mind with Salazar's analysis of each step, Wizette finally understood Salazar's intention—the process of hatching the male egg was actually a form of bioalchemy.

The sea of ​​knowledge is boundless. Biological alchemy, bloodline magic... these are magical knowledge that Vizet has some understanding of, but has very little knowledge of.

All he can do now is memorize it all so that he can continue to learn, research and digest it in the future.

……

As the experimental plan progressed steadily, new memory fragments emerged.

In the new memory fragments, the toad's appearance gradually changes;

It must have undergone some kind of magical transformation with the rooster egg; its skin color slowly faded, and its movements became slower day by day, showing a tendency to turn into a gray-white statue.

The opposite is true for male eggs. The color that the toad's skin has faded is transferred to the male eggs, like a thick layer of clothing that hides the pale white color and red lines.

When the toad was completely transformed into a statue, the rooster egg also completed its bio-alchemy, becoming a basilisk egg.

The surface of the basilisk egg was covered with colorful patterns, much like the pattern on the snake's molted skin in the cave tunnel, and it was a lush green.

Salazar modified the alchemical magic circle, transforming it into ritual magic.

He waved his wand, and a silver-blue light burst forth from its tip.

Clearly, as a former guardian, Salazar also possessed ancient magical powers.

At this moment, he was using this power as a means to nurture the basilisk egg and continue the incubation process.

Vizette discovered that when using ancient magical powers to nurture the basilisk egg, Salazar would also use ancient magical powers to simultaneously cast mental magic and communicate with the basilisk egg in some way.

Due to the intervention of ancient magical forces, Salazar also began a new round of recording.

[Incorporating ancient magical power... guiding the basilisk egg's instincts to absorb ancient magical power...]

As the egg is nurtured and interacted with more, it will respond by shaking, and the frequency of the response is increasing.

[Establish magical communication with the basilisk...to gain its trust...in preparation for the formation of the incantation...]

Looking at Salazar's records, Vizette pondered, "So the Slytherin Headmaster's goal... was to obtain the Command Letters..."

"What exactly is a spell? The word 'contract' is used... could it mean 'contract'? Is a spell some kind of contract?"

Based on this conjecture, he continued to expand his associations, extracting key points: "Ancient magical power... mental magic... communication... trust..."

"Perhaps there's also the Slytherin Headmaster's own talent—Parseltongue… Since the Basilisk is still at Hogwarts, I'm bound to encounter it…"

"By using ancient magical powers, and establishing a magical connection through Parsleyan language and mental magic, perhaps things will go more smoothly after encountering the basilisk?"

As he watched Salazar interact with the basilisk egg, a sudden inspiration flashed through his mind.

“Mandragora! The mandrake I watered with ancient magical power… perhaps a kind of magical pact can be formed between us?”

"However, magical plants are different from magical creatures; you can't just copy them directly... It would be quite dangerous to act rashly without understanding them..."

Magic has all sorts of possibilities, and correspondingly, it can also bring all sorts of dangers.

Even in the relatively safe field of magic, some spells can lead to unexpected situations if not pronounced correctly.

Flitwick gave an example of a wizard named Balufeo who had his ribs broken by a bison after mispronouncing a character in a spell.

If it's just ordinary injury, it's a minor matter for a wizard. For example, Harry's arm bone disappeared, but he could grow a new bone by taking Bone Regenerator.

What's frightening is the damage caused by various magical accidents; if not handled properly, it can also lead to various disabilities.

When Anthony was telling stories in his dorm, he mentioned a legendary Auror—Alastor Moody;

This Auror is considered "the best Auror of the modern era," and he also has the nickname "Mad-Eye Moody."

He earned this nickname because he accidentally blinded one eye while chasing a dark wizard and had to install a magic eye.

According to Anthony, Mad-Eye Moody's magical eye is terrifying; it can even rotate 360 ​​degrees to see enemies behind him.

Fortunately, Vizette was in a magic school, so if she encountered any problems she didn't understand or wanted to conduct a magical experiment, she could consult the professors of each subject.

Even if the professor hasn't encountered the same problem, his own experience can provide him with considerable inspiration and ideas, as well as reduce the probability of unexpected events.

……

As the basilisk hatched, Salazar's memories abruptly ended.

Perhaps due to some kind of magical restriction, Vizette was unable to witness the entire process of the incantation being made.

Although there were some regrets, overall, Wizette was still quite satisfied.

He has gained so much valuable knowledge from Salazar's memories that it is enough for him to study and learn for a long time.

As fragments of memory fade, Vizette experiences a strange feeling of weightlessness, falling continuously into the darkness.

He had experienced similar situations many times. This feeling of weightlessness meant that he was gradually regaining consciousness and should wake up soon.

During the fall, he took the opportunity to completely relax and enjoy this unique moment of leisure.

Like a fallen leaf in a stream, Vizette's thoughts drifted aimlessly...

Before he knew it, he was thinking about the Christmas holidays and summer vacation, and all the little things in life...

Other scenes would also appear in his mind, like dreamlike scenes.

These scenes are like quicksand; they slip away quietly when he tries to see them clearly.

Only when he relaxes his mind and stops worrying about whether he can see clearly can he feel the unique tranquility that the scene brings him.

This tranquility, like a feather, drifted along with him...

He could feel the Ravenclaw common room, and the scene outside the window, the dark Forbidden Forest;

He could sense the Thestrals in the Forbidden Forest suddenly bursting out of the Forbidden Forest, flapping their wings and soaring straight into the sky, before plunging back into the Forbidden Forest.

He could feel the Hogwarts greenhouse, the thriving magical plants, their branches swaying as if eager to drink in the morning dew…

Chapter 178 Where did Vizette go?

Devon is a coastal county, and the village of Autry St Catchpoll, located within it, enjoys a relatively mild climate even in late November, with only occasional cold winds and rain.

In comparison, the Scottish Highlands are much colder, especially in the early morning when the chill is making its final assault before the sun rises.

The Ravenclaw Tower is very tall, and a chilly wind wafts back and forth, whistling and occasionally slapping against the windows, trying to buy time for the cold to strike.

Luna curled up and woke up from her deep sleep with a sob.

She pulled her feet, which were sticking out of the blanket, back inside and stretched her body in a very leisurely manner.

With the warmth of the blankets, her feet, which had cooled down, warmed up again, and she became a bit more awake than before.

Her eyelids twitched slightly, and her long eyelashes trembled as well.
