Hogwarts: What are the four great masters doing?

Even if it was Newt—being generous to others wasn't a good habit.

"Oh... okay."

Newt nodded thoughtfully.

Then Ryan asked Newt when he planned to make this conclusion public.

But Newt's answer was simple: "I'm not going to make it public."

He said seriously, "In fact, I will only tell people I trust about its existence. This blood circuit in the blood of magical beasts... is almost impossible for normal wizards to detect. It is hidden in the subtle life activities of magical beasts."

"But even so, I'm sure that once the blood circuits become known, more magical animals will be put in danger - many wizards will try to hunt them and study their blood circuits."

"I don't want to do that."

He was concise and to the point.

Greed is an indelible part of human nature - the old wizard obviously sees this very clearly.

Even if he spoke to the entire magical world, telling wizards that the blood circuits of magical animals were almost impossible for wizards to master.

But it is impossible to stop greedy people from hunting magical animals.

So, he chose to hide everything directly.

After hearing this, Ryan nodded thoughtfully: "...even though this will cause you to lose great fame and great achievements?"

"Oh, Ryan."

After hearing this, Newt shook his head.

"Fame and achievements—if you ask me, those are the most troublesome things... I feel like my fame is already a huge burden for me now."

"Indeed."

So Ryan nodded in agreement.

But then, he looked at Newt very sincerely: "In that case, I have to thank you - Mr. Scamander, thank you for your trust in me."

He naturally understood it at this moment.

Newt told him everything about the magical beast's 'bloodline' without reservation, which in itself represented a heavy trust.

"You're welcome, Ryan."

After seeing Ryan's formal thanks, Newt seemed a little nervous: "Dumbledore and Nico both mentioned you to me, and from what happened in the past two days... I'm sure you're a good kid."

Having said that, he, who wasn't good at complimenting others, changed the subject again: "Well - it seems Nico's research conclusions are correct. Friday has at least a dozen magical beast abilities, but I think this may not be all..."

As he spoke, he took out a few more glass bottles from the box.

"Moonbeast, Orb-Horn, Bowtruckle, Niffler, and Modla Rat...they are all relatively less aggressive and magically powerful magical animals."

"I remember not finding any abilities related to them on Friday?"

he asked.

And Ryan nodded.

So Newt poured the blood in the glass bottle into the syringe again.

"If I'm not mistaken, the result this time will be different from before..."

He muttered so.

And the fact is just as Newt said.

As the blood melted into the glass bottle.

Ryan suddenly saw that the blood circuits belonging to these magical animals, similar to those before, began to flow in Friday's blood.

but...

"Buzz!"

The circuit flowing in Friday's blood was dim and lifeless.

Their flow was not active, it could even be said to be very quiet - the magic contained in Friday's blood seemed to be asleep, and did not resonate in an instant like before.

"This is..."

Then Ryan made another sound of surprise.

"These are also blood circuits—that's a great word. Was it Minerva who came up with it?"

Newt explained, and at the same time felt that the term "blood circuit" was very appropriate.

But then he continued, "As you can see, they are quite dormant and have not yet been activated."

"I think this might be evidence that Friday is still in its infancy—and as it grows, these blood vessels will gradually activate one by one."

"Its bloodline... This is a creation far greater than great, Ryan."

He couldn't help but sigh.

"I didn't know Ms. Hufflepuff was so skilled in alchemy—she must have completely mastered the blood circuits of almost all magical beasts and imprinted them into Friday's blood... They will gradually activate as Friday grows, giving him incredible power."

Having said that, he felt a little regretful.

"It's a pity that you got the treasure too late. It seems that Ms. Hufflepuff didn't leave the original blood as a treasure for you? Otherwise, I dare say it would definitely be a great discovery!"

He murmured this.

But at this moment, Ryan, who was standing beside him, knew it in his heart.

There are two mistakes in Newt's statement.

First, it's not Hufflepuff, it's Slytherin!

second...

"That kind of blood...the Slytherin teacher must have left it behind!"

But at this moment, Ryan had already made a definite judgment in his heart.

That's right.

This was his teacher's habit - whether it was an experiment or a magic test, he always liked to leave room for maneuver.

"This is necessary caution."

In addition, he would always leave one or even several copies of any precious things to his disciples.

The reason is even simpler.

"The path of magic is always evolving—even my greatest work will always have room for improvement in the future... Boy, other ignorant and mediocre people are not qualified to improve my work, but perhaps you are."

Ryan would never forget the wizard's proud words.

So, he could almost conclude.

The same blood that had made Friday possible—Slytherin had definitely left at least a portion for him!

As for where it exists...

"It should be in the real Chamber of Secrets. That blood is the treasure left by Mr. Slytherin—no...at least one of the treasures!"

Ryan had the answer in his mind.

This made him more and more excited about what was left in Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets.

However, while Ryan was thinking in his heart, he did not forget to ask Newt a key question.

"Mr. Scamander, how long do you think it will take for Friday to be fully mature?"

This was obviously a matter of great concern to him - because he was now almost certain that when Friday was fully grown, its hair should be able to be used as the core of his wand.

"Oh, I don't know, Ryan."

At this moment, Newt was stroking the syringe in his hand and put it back into the box very carefully.

"But I think the number of blood circuits activated in Friday's body right now is less than one-twentieth... Believe me, this is a very conservative number."

He said politely.

“Less than one-twentieth…”

Ryan was thinking secretly in his heart.

According to Tamh, Friday was actually born around 1945.

It’s about 50 years from now.

If this only activated less than one twentieth of its blood circuits, then that means the time it takes for Friday to mature from birth should be...

"millennium?"

Thinking of this, Ryan could only shake his head secretly in his heart.

"That sounds like a long time."

Sighing, Ryan temporarily gave up the idea of ​​making Friday mature quickly - even he could not think of any way to make Friday grow over a thousand years.

So... there was silence in the living room for a while.

After a while, Ryan finally put Friday's events behind him.

"Mr. Scamander, I have another question for you."

He just looked at Newt and spoke like this.

"Oh, of course—I'd be happy to answer."

After hearing this, Newt said it very straightforwardly.

"I've heard from Nico and Headmaster Dumbledore that you seem to have studied... an Obscurus?"

So Ryan asked about the second key purpose of his conversation with Newt this time.

"Oh...yes..."

Newt was also slightly stunned when he heard the word 'Obscura'.

He seemed to be recalling so many things that even his voice became deep.

"I've studied it, and there's more than one..."

He smacked his lips. "That's not a good memory."
