Hogwarts: The Cat Wizard of the Moving Castle

Chapter 117 Slytherin’s Legacy

The scales fluttered, flying like feathers, and drilled into the pipe above.

Mu En raised her hand and flicked her fingertips.

There was a crisp sound of gold and iron exploding, and the scales seemed to have been hit by an invisible blow. They deviated from the track and buffered for a long distance before continuing towards the pipe.

On the green scales, undetectable black smoke rose. If you are observant enough, you can see the mark of a full moon skull on the scales.

Skeleton…

Dumbledore's blue eyes flickered. Basically, everyone who has reached this point has not studied dark magic.

At this point, the universal definitions of black magic, regular magic, and household magic have gradually lost their meaning.

But... openly using this mark as a personal imprint...

Thinking, he looked at Mu En inadvertently.

Mu En could tell what he wanted to express from his eyes at a glance, and explained: "This is the emblem of the pirate flag."

Dumbledore blinked, feeling a little surprised...then he turned to ask, "I thought you would use a more violent method."

"I'm afraid that the entire Hogwarts pipeline system will be blown up..."

"That's it." Dumbledore nodded, but saw Moon taking the lead and walking down.

"downstairs…"

The two of them walked in the empty castle.

Dumbledore suddenly asked without any reason: "If it were you before, would you care about this?"

Walking all the way underground, this place is already at the lowest level of the entire Hogwarts, and the location of the scales is much deeper.

Moon looked at the floor, feeling the sensation coming from below, and at the same time thought of Dumbledore's words just now.

Care about this? !

Thinking about it, a smile appeared on his lips, the wand appeared in his hand, and the extremely dark "dot" gradually began to condense and take shape.

The light was absorbed, the space seemed to be distorted, and the entire underground classroom was filled with wind.

"It's better to say goodbye...it will be very troublesome to repair..." Dumbledore stopped him quickly and held his forehead helplessly.

"It's boring..." Mu En sighed and canceled the spell he was casting.

As he spoke, he glanced left and right, aimed at a broken desk piled in the corner, raised his hand, and half of the table leg flew into his hand.

"Villavit—"

The table legs twisted quickly, the middle section became soft and thinned, and a bud appeared at the upper end.

Below, several roots quickly split and twisted in the air.

"It seems that you have broken two of the five principles of transfiguration at the same time. One is to create something out of nothing, and the other is that you cannot transform into a magical creature!"

As he spoke, the flower bud unfolded, revealing its round, scarlet bloodshot eyeballs.

"How can you assume that it is a magical creature? It just has the body of a plant and an extra eyeball." Mu En said.

“You can’t create something out of nothing, because the transformation technique driven by desire is essentially applying the ‘default template’ behind the laws of the world.

Because we do not pursue the ultimate understanding of transformed things, we naturally cannot demand that the laws of the world understand those non-existent creatures.

As for me, I am not a transfiguration driven purely by desire. I have enough experience with this creature... No, you used to be a professor of transfiguration. Why am I talking so much. "

Saying that, Mu En patted his head.

"I've been making some bad mistakes lately."

he muttered.

Dumbledore smiled: "People will always make mistakes. Being perfect, heartless and without desires is not human."

Mu En moved her tongue and clicked her tongue one after another...

How do you feel...are these words targeting me?

"So, this creature is real?" Dumbledore changed the subject and looked at Moon engraving runes on this... big-eyed grass.

"It doesn't exist." Mu En shook his head: "This guy doesn't follow biological logic.

But like I said, I didn't rely on the 'template' of the world's laws to make it appear. To be precise... it was a distortion that I constructed through some violent means. "

After speaking, Mu En retracted her hand, and her left eye suddenly shrank to a point, successfully building a visual bridge.

"Human body refining is a branch of bio-alchemy, and bio-alchemy is a branch of alchemy... So it makes sense that I can transform aberrant creatures that don't exist in reality."

After saying that, Mu En raised his hand and placed it on the big-eyed grass.

"Go!"

The air stirred and the big-eyed grass disappeared. The vision of Mu En's left eye suddenly became distorted, and a moment later, a dim light appeared.

He looked around quickly. This was the middle of a long, dimly lit room.

On both sides of the surroundings, there are many stone pillars engraved with entangled snakes, towering up to support the ceiling that melts into the darkness above, casting long and strange black shadows on the entire room that is filled with green and mysterious light. film.

Lowering his head, he saw a big snake lying here to rest, its tail twitching from time to time, thick blood flowing all over the ground, and finally falling to the pools on both sides.

The big-eyed grass staggered and fell to the ground.

Even if he relied on his previous knowledge to deduce and transform such an illogical creature, he would not be able to maintain it for long.

The basilisk raised its head warily and looked around.

Mu En didn't care and continued to observe the surroundings.

Behind the basilisk, a huge statue appeared, with an old, monkey-like face and a sparse long beard that almost reached the end of the hem of the wizard's robe carved from stone.

At the same time, the basilisk also keenly discovered the big-eyed grass, and its huge yellow eyes shone over it.

In the underground classroom, Mu En's body was shaken!

Dumbledore looked serious: "What did you find?"

"I found...a man with a longer beard than you!" Mu En came back to her senses,

? ?

Mu En stood up: "Ever since I accidentally took an Avatar two years ago, I have been much more careful about such high-intensity attacks that directly hit the depths of the soul."

As he spoke, he put his hand on Dumbledore's shoulder.

The two disappeared——

In the secret room, the basilisk carefully disclosed the snake message and captured the pheromones that the big-eyed grass dispersed in the air.

At this moment, the air twisted again, and two figures appeared.

Moon pointed at the Slytherin statue.

"I really didn't lie to you."

As he spoke, he had closed his eyes, opened his hands, and the magic power in his hands was like a strong wind that was about to stir up a stormy sea.

But after a moment, it suddenly disappeared.

"It just told Harry that it was the 'master' who forced it to kill people. You know Parseltongue, so you can take care of it."

As it spoke, its figure quickly retreated——

Dumbledore turned his head, surprised at how quickly Moon left, and at the same time took action with the Elder Wand in his hand.

"Misty and misty——"

The sound of chanting a mantra was not urgent, but mixed with a brisk tone.

With Dumbledore as the center, the thick fog spread rapidly.

Mu En raised his hand and felt the magical clouds around him. They were pervasive, and at the same time——

"interesting…"

Dumbledore actually added a logical chain of sensory feedback to this spell, allowing it to monitor reality through the cloud's feedback to the real world.

It is similar to how he pushed out the mage's hand as a ripple, and then reversely constructed and detected reality through the reflected ripples.

At the same time, he waved his wand around, and the serpentine stone sculptures on the stone pillars on both sides suddenly came to life. Their bodies were extended, like ropes being manipulated, and they tied up the basilisk in an instant like a thunderbolt.

Two snake ropes controlled the basilisk's head and lifted it upwards.

After hearing Dumbledore's hiss, Moon twitched the corners of his lips and turned around to leave.

In the Chamber of Secrets, he wanted to see what Slytherin would leave behind and protect in such a room with his own statue.

After walking out of the secret room, he soon came to a dark corridor. The air was filled with moisture, and the wet water droplets on the surrounding walls reflected a faint light.

In the moss on the ground, tiny mosquitoes crawl, intersect, and gnaw at each other.

Click——

A crisp sound resounded in the empty dark corridor, and his spreading eyes kept observing the surroundings.

"No...human ones?"

I saw the bones of some small animals everywhere around the corridor.

"This kind of digestion ability is not even as good as that of ordinary snakes...and the frequency of eating is also a bit too infrequent..."

Even if these bones are all left over from Halloween until now, and the basilisk has been in a state of slumber before, after being awakened, the body should urge it to kill and absorb energy.

This is the logic a beast should have, isn't it?

Mu En twirled his beard and looked back at the secret room.

"Slytherin..."

After a cursory glance, Mu En finally didn't find any secret passage here, but only found a pipe linking to the top.

The feedback generated by the wave of the mage's hand was then inferred to be constructed at the location of Hogwarts, which was Myrtle's territory, the abandoned women's toilet.

Back in the Chamber of Secrets, Dumbledore had completed his final conversation with the Basilisk.

There is indeed a so-called "master", a true Parseltongue, who orders it to kill.

"Real Parseltongue?"

Dumbledore nodded: "Just learning the various meanings and pronunciations of Parseltongue is not considered Parselmouth. Just like even if you master the disguise spell, it is completely different from the Disguise Magus.

A true, natural Parseltongue. They are the kings of snakes and have the power to control snakes.

According to legend, the first Parselmouth in history was the child of a human and a winged lizard..."

Mu En's mind was a little confused. The winged lizard...the legendary king of snakes...and people...

"You're not going to tell me that the child of this man and a winged lizard left a legend called 'Medusa' to future generations."

Dumbledore answered with a smile.

"This pioneering spirit is really... amazing." Mu En nodded helplessly.

"So who is that owner?"

"It doesn't know. According to his description, I can't relate to anyone in the school." Dumbledore said seriously.

"Trouble...so how do you solve it?"

Dumbledore thought for a moment: "I think as the principal of Hogwarts, we should respect the founder's ideas.

It told me that Salazar Slytherin left it here in the hope that when Hogwarts was betrayed by Muggle wizards or half-blood wizards, causing Hogwarts to be in danger, it could be used to protect those people. child. "

"Betrayed?"

Dumbledore nodded and looked around: "Slytherin believes that Muggles are not trustworthy and they hate wizards too much. This idea is rooted in the hearts of these people.

Even if a Muggle wizard comes here, the thoughts of the previous eleven years may not necessarily be reversed with the change of identity.

They might even expose the location of Hogwarts and bring disaster to other innocent wizards.

This is why Salazar resisted Muggle wizards and half-blood wizards.

In fact, considering the background of the times... this seems understandable. "

Mu En nodded slightly, he knew that history.

Because the wizards at that time were really in a precarious and precarious era.

To be precise, it has been like this for hundreds of years.

And the reason is—the church! !

The church has "divine power", and the clergy who have been granted "divine authority" are noble, bright and righteous.

Revered by non-spellcasters.

As long as you express your piety to them, you can receive the soft bread and milk given by the gods.

If they are punished by the clergy, people will also reflect on themselves, whether they are too dependent on the gods, and whether they have not achieved true piety.

On the contrary, there are wizards.

Demons with weird abilities and evil power can only bring disaster and misfortune.

The death penalty needs to be imposed, burning to death——

In that era, Muggle wizards who came to Hogwarts were very likely to be seduced by the church and become "divinely appointed spies."

That's why Salazar is concerned.

The conflict between wizards, the church and the general public did not come to an end until a man named Martin Luther appeared.

Just like Salazar's worries, the entry of college wizards into the church is an act worthy of being despised and even regarded as betrayal.

And Martin Luther was such a betrayer. He was born in 1483 and entered Beauxbatons in 1494.

After graduation, he entered the Erfurt Academy in Germany.

Understand and learn from the philosophies of non-spellcasters.

In 1505, he joined the Augustinian order to study theology. And in 2007, he became a priest.

At that time, all non-church wizards regarded him as an out-and-out traitor.

However, it was such a "betrayer" that kicked off the collapse of the church.

Justification by faith, the Reformation, the Renaissance, Henry VIII’s secession from Rome, and—

Witch hunt! !

It was not until 1692 that the promulgation of the International Statute of Wizarding Secrecy and the establishment of the Ministry of Magic officially announced the withdrawal of wizards from the stage of the era.

This chaotic era has finally come to an end...

From today's perspective, what is right or wrong is meaningless.

But one thing is for sure…

"Slytherin left the basilisk here to protect Hogwarts?" Mu En confirmed again.

Dumbledore nodded slightly and looked at the ancient sculpture with a long beard that stretched to the ground.

He advocated young wizards to learn black magic, and he resisted wizards who were not spellcasters from entering this school. He was extreme and twisted, and even in this era, he only left a bad reputation.

"Actually, if you think about it, you will know that if he is really so unbearable, why would he want to build a school to protect and teach children?

Why tell children to always remember glory and keep pursuing it? How could Gryffindor, this famous wizard, be the best friend with him? "

As he spoke, Dumbledore focused his attention on the basilisk.

"The cultivation of this thing is not simple...Perhaps, this is the last legacy he left to Hogwarts, the place he built with his own hands..."

Harley, who chose the path of a witch, returned to when she was 11 years old and came into contact with the power outside the path.

Well, it's time to give the wizarding world a little witch shock.
