Chapter 278: Godric Gryffindor
Chapter 278: Godric Gryffindor
"It seems that the basilisk in this world is not dead."
Harry frowned when he heard that Krum didn't see the basilisk's body.
"Fleur asked me to ask you something," Krum said. "What is the activation message for the statue?"
"Let me think." Harry's eyes flashed with reminiscence. "Speak to me, Slytherin - the greatest of the four great men at Hogwarts. Wait. This is to be in Parseltongue."
On the other side, Fleur, who had just been standing with her chest puffed out and her head held high and confident, suddenly became hunched over after hearing what Krum had said.
(Dumbledore also rubbed his temples, "This is too complicated.")
(Even he couldn't translate it accurately into Parseltongue.)
Harry seemed to have anticipated Fleur's predicament. He continued, "It's more difficult, Xias Agasa Celisse, that's probably it."
(Ron shook his head, "Girls' hearts are the hardest to guess. The opening words for the male version of Slytherin would emphasize Hogwarts, the greatest of the four giants. For the female version of Slytherin, I think it would be more reliable to say something like 'Gryffindor's favorite'.")
Sure enough, just as Ron guessed, Fleur, who knew Parseltongue and could translate Harry's transliteration very accurately, faced a Waterloo in front of the Slytherin statue.
The statue's jaw remained motionless, as if it had heard nothing.
Finally, Furong took out the Magic Fairy Book of Treasures.
She began to doubt whether her snake language was not standard, but she did not doubt that her activation language was wrong.
As the screen lit up, Harry's head appeared in it.
"Harry, the statue is not responding."
Harry looked at the statue through the Hundred Book. "How about I try it. Xia Si Agasa Celise."
The statue still did not respond.
Cedric's voice came from the Book of Treasures, "Could it be that the activation words are wrong?"
With Cedric's hint, the three people's brains bypassed this corner.
Ran to the library in the lounge.
In the corner of the library.
"What will the activation words be?" Harry stroked his chin and flipped through the book. "Sarah Slytherin, one of the four founders of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, was a witch in the Middle Ages and was considered one of the greatest wizards of the time. She was a Parseltongue and was proficient in Legilimency."
"Like Rowena Ravenclaw and Godric Gryffindor, Sarah Slytherin carefully selects students for her house."
(“Great Hufflepuff,” several viewers exclaimed almost simultaneously.)
(Only Hufflepuff managed to accept all students.)
"The qualities she particularly values in selecting students include resourcefulness, strong will, a certain disdain for the rule of law, and her own ability to speak Parseltongue. She also selects students who are shrewd, ambitious, and of pure blood. Slytherin's house is symbolized by the snake, and its representative colors are green and silver."
("This is no different from the Slytherins in our world, they are all pure-bloods, stupid old stubborn people." Hearing this, Ron began to complain.)
"However, her most notable identity in history is that she was a suitor of fellow founder Godric Gryffindor, and she competed with fellow founders Rowena Ravenclaw and Helga Hufflepuff for Gryffindor's love."
"Hiss, this is too much."
(Many viewers were also shocked by this statement.)
("This school would fall apart without the Gryffindors.")
("No wonder Gryffindor is a wizard and the founder of a witch school.")
("How handsome Gryffindor is!")
"In the end, Ravenclaw won the love competition. Hufflepuff accepted defeat calmly. Slytherin became more extreme after that."
"She began to completely reject male wizards as students, and was even willing to accept Muggle-born witches for this reason."
(“This is all because of love!” Some of the more sentimental audience members already had tears in their eyes.)
“However, the other founders disagreed with him.”
"So, in order to rid the school of wizards without being thwarted by the other founders, she built a secret room containing a monster, waiting for her heir to open it. Then she left the school and never returned."
(Ron scoffed, "So she knew her heir was a wizard?")
("So, even though it's a witch school, there were still male students at the beginning?" Hermione remembered Ron saying that it was only after 1945 that Hogwarts was renamed Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and male wizards could also enroll.)
("So since when did wizards get banned from school?")
Hermione's question was answered in the next second.
"After Slytherin left, the other founders began to waver in their thinking."
"Because it is difficult for wizards to learn spell card magic before they reach adulthood, they rely on wands. In the Middle Ages when wizards were excluded, most wizard families thought it was more appropriate to let them receive home education."
"A small number of wizards from Muggle families also prefer to be taken in and educated by the local wizard lords."
(Although the term "Wizard Lord" is a very unfamiliar term to modern wizards, it is still understandable to most audiences.)
(However, some wizards who are more familiar with the history of magic are somewhat confused. Wizard Lords did exist in history.)
(But they were not everywhere, because wizards were self-sufficient, and magic was the best guarantee in that chaotic era.)
(Although ruling over Muggles did not necessarily prevent people from learning magic, it was like lighting a bonfire in the dark night in those dark ages, attracting the attention of other wizards and the church, which regarded magic as evil.)
(It’s OK if it’s the church, after all, they are Muggles, and they only dare to catch fake witches and burn them.)
(At most, they poisoned or assassinated wizards to exploit their mortal weaknesses.)
(At that time, wizards had not yet adopted modern magic with low destructive power and fast speed. Everyone was committed to maximizing their destructive power.)
(Every wizard is a walking scourge.)
(And if the wizards you attract don't like your rule, that's bad.)
(They can just hide in the dark and take advantage of you to create a meteor shower or a tornado while you are sleeping, and you and your castle will be destroyed.)
(No matter how well you manage your territory, it will only become a target and help the dark wizards store food.)
(Plus, the Ministry of Magic did not exist at that time, and wizard society was very loose.)
(So, the wizard lords soon faded into history.)
(How did the wizard lords of that world grow and become mainstream?)
(How did they withdraw from history and implement the confidentiality law?)
(At the same time, some ambitious people have discovered that this may be a good choice in the current era of large-scale magic withdrawal, the use of short and fast modern magic spells, and the collective habits of wizards.)
(Wizards rule over Muggles, perhaps.)
(“Wizard Lord?” Grindelwald’s eyes flickered, and he began to be tempted. “Is this what wizards were like before the Statute of Secrecy? Wizards ruling over Muggles, and owning a territory? It might be a good idea to find a pilot area and then gradually promote it.”)
("Ruling over Muggles? Good idea." Voldemort was also very tempted by this.)
(After the Fairy World had promoted knowledge of the Muggle world, he had learned about the Muggle society, which he had not paid attention to since he was 11 years old.)
(The moon landing and the existence of Big Ivan made him no longer underestimate the role of Muggles.)
(He had begun to regard the Muggle world as his own, and after knowing how big the universe was and how small the earth was, he had already set his sights on the boundless universe.)
(He longed to be the god behind the game.)
(Using rockets to launch Horcruxes to the moon and the vast universe; magicalizing Muggle high-end weapons so that they are no longer affected by magical magnetic fields, or become ineffective due to a magic spell; using genetic technology to study magical animals and clones.)
(But on the other hand, he now began to dislike his subordinates who only knew how to massacre Muggles and affect social stability.)
(He was never a purist.)
(His thoughts now began to change.)
(Muggle society is fragile and is made up of mortals. If you want to enjoy high technology, you need the stability of the Muggle world.)
(He should secretly control all rulers, eliminate wars, and make the whole society focus on scientific research.)
(The Muggle world, a more useful tool, has surpassed the importance of some of his subordinates in his heart.)
(He even came to accept the existence of the Statute of Secrecy, which kept stupid wizards from disrupting the Muggles.)
("I am the only one who can rule over Muggles, and only I am.")
Harry, not being a historian or an ambitious man, did not notice this, and he went on to read: "So, after Gryffindor's death, Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry no longer accepted male wizards as students."
He looked at the others, "What do you think the activation words for this Slytherin would be?"
Krum guessed, "Slytherin - Gryffindor's only love?"
Cedric: "All wizards should die?"
After listening to their answers, Harry closed the book. "Why don't we go ask Harry? Just say we found Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets."
Cedric shook his head, "Why not wait for Fleur? She's a girl, maybe she can guess."
Fleur, who had been silent and had high hopes placed on her by the three, suddenly had an idea. She looked at the part of the statue below the horizontal line and thought of another possibility. "Tom Riddle in this world must not know the activation words just like us. How did he know it?"
(Ron was a little confused. "Didn't they think of asking Riddle? I mean the one in Diggory's magic device. In this world, they can obviously communicate with heroic spirits.")
(Lavender looked at him with admiration, "As expected of Luo Luo.")
(Hermione guessed: "Maybe the relationship is bad?")
(As a friend of the Warrior, she knew that the Warrior could unilaterally refuse to communicate with the Heroic Spirit.)
(In this case, the words of the Heroic Spirit cannot reach the Warrior's ears, nor can the Warrior use his physical senses to observe the outside world.)
(When the Magic Fairy Device is integrated into the body, if the Heroic Spirit does not leave the Warrior's body in the form of a spirit, it is equivalent to becoming blind and knowing nothing about the outside world.)
Krum said: "Perhaps it is because he didn't know that the basilisk never left the space behind the statue and survived safely until now."
Fleur ignored Krum's words. "Perhaps the activation words are engraved below the statue's shoulders, in the water."
The pressure was on Krum.
As the only one who could make his body invisible, he became the best choice to go into the water.
"Hurry up, there are still 40 minutes until 1: and the Transfiguration class is about to start." Harry began to urge.
Krum's body began to fade away, and his body sank into the cold, dark water of the lake.
It gave him a sense of déjà vu as if he were diving at the bottom of a black lake.
As far as the eye can see, there is darkness, no sunlight, and extreme silence.
But it’s just a sense of déjà vu.
In his virtual state, he could not feel the pressure of the water, and it was no different from when he was flying in the air and walking on the ground.
And in his ghost state, he couldn't even hear his own heartbeat.
The modified eyes can easily see in the dark.
The white statue seemed to be carved from jade.
Soon, the statue's strange hands, placed together and stretched upward, attracted his attention.
He 'flew' towards the palm of his hand.
A string of words appeared in his vision and was engraved on the palm of his hand.
In the corner of the wizard library, another Krum opened his eyes with a strange look on his face. "I know what the activation words of the statue are."
"What is it?" x3
"Godric Gryffindor," Krum said. "The activation words are engraved on the statue's palm. Perhaps until the very end, she was longing for Gryffindor's love."
("Do Slytherins love him that much?" Ron gaped.)
(Dumbledore looked at his palms. "I understand.")
(Many viewers shed tears of gratitude.)
"Godric Gryffindor (Serpentes)." Harry's hissing serpentine voice came out of the Hundred Book.
Fleur closed her eyes early, and Krum remained in ghost state, all to prevent the basilisk's murderous sight.
Ghosts can no longer die, and closing their eyes can physically stop them.
The huge stone face of Slytherin moved.
Its mouth opens, a huge black hole appears, and the sound of a basilisk slithering upward from the depths of the statue appears.
"Sarah's successor? I hope it's a witch this time."
Fleur frowned as she tried to translate.
Krum didn't understand at all.
The hissing sound of snake language reached Harry's ears through the Hundred Book and was converted into English.
"Hello." Harry replied in Parseltongue.
He was somewhat surprised that this basilisk could actually communicate.
(Voldemort was also somewhat surprised. The basilisk he received was a completely beast that was completely obsessed with its animal instincts. It could only speak a few short sentences and obey orders. It was not even as good as an ordinary snake.)
(It is obvious that Slytherin has been transformed with dark magic, specifically for killing, and has no brains, making it easier for him to submit to the heir.)
(This world's basilisks are much more coherent.)
(Could it be that its function in this world is not to clean up students?)
There was a huge sound of snakes crashing into the water and crawling up the stone floor.
It raised its head and heard the sound coming from a black slate held up by a girl.
As Slytherin's pet, it recognized that someone was communicating with it through magic props.
"Another wizard? Who is Tom Riddle to you?"
