Ancient wizards return to Hogwarts.

The black-haired young man recognized Helga as early as when she stepped into the snakes' territory.

After coming out from underground and meeting face to face, he was completely sure of Helga's identity, so he took the initiative to step forward.

"I don't understand, speak human language." Helga said concisely.

"Okay!" Rice shrugged and replied in halting English.

"I haven't spoken English for a long time. I'm not used to it." Les spoke word by word. Helga had difficulty listening to him, but she could understand what he meant.

"People say that there are no two identical snowflakes in the world, but a living counterexample has appeared in front of me. But I am still confused. Are you really still the same Salazar Slytherin?"

Faced with Helga's question, the black-haired young man fell silent.

After a long moment, he stammered in response.

"Salazar Slytherin is indeed dead. You asked me if I thought I was."

What he said was true. Although Loki was a bit weak, he could still tell whether a person was really dead.

Salazar Slytherin was indeed dead that night.

The current black-haired young man is brand new both physically and spiritually, and theoretically should have nothing to do with the previous Salazar Slytherin. This is the basic law of how the world works.

But the gap between theory and reality is huge.

Some people can find loopholes in perfect rules and exploit them. Les Chassar Slytherin, or Salazar Slytherin, is one of them.

If a pure soul inherits all of his memories, then in Rice's view, this soul is his incarnation.

Helga looked at the young version of Salazar, thoughtfully.

I have to say, the old viper has really come up with a lot of tricks to extend his life.

His original method of molting to achieve immortality was the most advanced magic of longevity, and now he has even mastered the path of reincarnation. This guy Salazar has really become an expert in this area. And so far, the method he has researched seems to have no side effects at all, which is really scary.

Salazar, who successfully reincarnated, can definitely claim to be immortal.

After chatting with Helga for a few sentences, Rice's sentences became fluent.

"To be honest, it's quite tiring to study magic from scratch. I have to thank Rowena here. The core fragment of this alchemy world is of great benefit to the cultivation of the domain."

After reincarnation, Rice naturally lost his domain. But unlike other little wizards who were truly "poor and penniless" and had to start from scratch, Rice did not need to comprehend his domain little by little from the flow of magic power.

For other young wizards, researching areas is like participating in an extremely complex escape room game for the first time, and they have to follow clues to advance step by step. Rice is a second-round player, and can quickly pass the level in the shortest time. The core fragment of the alchemy world is a pair of roller skates, which can further shorten Rice's already compressed clearance time.

"It's rare for her to do something good." Helga laughed: "How is her strength recovering?"

"It's almost the same as before my reincarnation. The best thing is that the hidden dangers in my soul have been eliminated." Les stretched and yawned - the sunlight outside was a little too dazzling, shining on his face and making him sleepy.

The magic potion he had taken before had caused some changes in his soul. Although there would be no visible effects in the short term, the hidden dangers would probably erupt when he aged or went into a second molting sleep.

Les didn't dare to determine what the impact would be if his soul form completely became a snake.

I don't have to worry about that now, as my soul is in pure human form.

"Share your experience with me later." Helga thought for a moment and decided to be a freeloader and directly absorb Salazar's advanced experience.

In this matter, it is not shameful to adopt what is available. What is really stupid is not to adopt the best path.

"Okay, no problem." Rice was still very generous in this matter.

"By the way, Rowena can't use this method..." Helga suddenly realized that Rowena's condition seemed to be unable to use the method developed by Salazar.

"It's like this, she's already a ghost and there's no way she can be reincarnated. But she looks pretty good now, doesn't she?" Les thought Rowena would just make do.

In a sense, Rowena also achieved immortality.

When the body she's currently possessing gets old, she can always find another one to possess - or ask him and Helga to cultivate a body for her. All of these are feasible.

In ghost form, she would at most worry about her soul being contaminated, but this was not without a solution. As long as she found a Horcrux, all problems would be solved.

When Helga learned that Rowena could not be like Salazar, she felt sorry for her.

But when the topic turned to Rowena, Helga remembered the question she had asked before.

"Salazar, since Rowena claims to be omniscient and omnipotent about the alchemical world, why did the alchemical world get out of control?"

Rice gave Helga a strange look, curious as to why she would ask such a simple question.

"It's a joke, what else can I do?"

Les felt that Rowena might have gone too far when exploring the upper limit of the power of alchemical life forms. The four gods he met a while ago were evidence of this.

The fighting style of those four things was very similar to that of the four of them. Les had reason to suspect that they were created by Rowena, and this was also the fundamental reason why she lost control of the alchemy world.

"Well, now that you have recovered your strength and memory, let's go out. It seems that the story we made up cannot be hidden from your two little disciples. They have been worried about you."

Helga was blocked in the office by Daphne and Astoria several times. Dumbledore's excuse was really bad. It might fool other students, but it was impossible to fool these two.

Every time they asked about Les's whereabouts, Helga could only find ways to evade the question. These two little girls gave her a headache.

So when she saw that Salazar had recovered, she couldn't wait to have him return to Hogwarts and give herself a peaceful world.

Instead of responding to Helga's invitation, Rice asked her a question.

"What time is it outside now?"

"It's already the final stage of the competition. The contestants will draw lots for a one-on-one duel. It seems to be in the next two days?"

"Oh?" Les narrowed his eyes. If that was the case, he would not rush out. He still wanted to keep Helga here.
