Chapter 255 Entering the Test
"But you still found the ancestor."
Luke gave a timely compliment.To be honest, he had no idea what kind of character Slytherin was.From the previous performance, Slytherin seemed relatively indifferent.But judging from the current situation, Slytherin should not lack the care for his offspring.
People are complex.No matter how powerful Slytherin is, he is still a human being.
"It's just a coincidence. It really took me a lot of effort to find her, but more luck." Slytherin was not proud, and the expression on his face was more flat, with a trace of nostalgia.Apparently the events of that year left a deep impression on him.And it made him feel a lot.
But seeing that Slytherin didn't have any idea to elaborate on the matter, Luke didn't ask any more questions.
"What are the abilities of the Gorgon?"
Luke's face was full of inquiry.Seriously, if he got the news and produced relevant evidence, he could almost instantly become a well-known scholar of magical beasts with just one paper.Although his ambition is not here, he will never have too many cards in hand.
"Basically consistent with the legend, strong magic resistance, although I don't know if there will be any accidents if I bear the Death Curse, but the Imperius Curse and Cruciatus, the former is difficult to take effect, and the latter is like giving her Tickling. Physical means are more practical against them."
"Besides, there is also the petrified eye. This thing is a little weaker than the eye of the basilisk, and it will not kill people directly. But you can control whether it is turned on or off. And when it is turned on at the maximum intensity , People don’t exist and they can be rescued. From this perspective, this ability is much more miraculous than that of the basilisk.”
The petrification from the inside out does not simply fix people, but completely turns people into a stone.Naturally, it is impossible to change back.It is said to be petrified, but it is actually killing people.
"Of course, there is also poison. Her snake hair is all poisonous snakes, and they are extremely poisonous. Even if it is a giant dragon, if it is not treated in time, the adult dragon will fall into a considerable degree of weakness, and at least be bitten It will rot where it goes, and the young dragon will die."
"The main abilities are three. In terms of magic resistance, the slightly stronger magical animals will not be weak. It's just a difference in degree. The strength of the latter two is also affected by their own low defense against physical damage. It's balanced. On the whole, the Gorgon may not be much stronger than a dragon."
The information given by Slytherin can be said to be quite detailed.Luke nodded. He was even more sure that even if Doris wasn't always a standard Gorgon, she was at least closely related to a Gorgon.
"Then are they viviparous or oviparous?" Luke continued to ask.
"Oviparous, after birth, they are in the form of snakes in their infancy, and in the later growth process, they will change back to the state of eggs again, undergoing a metamorphosis, and then they will be the image of the snake-haired banshee we are familiar with."
After Slytherin finished speaking, he glanced at Luke: "Why, do you have anything related to the Gorgon?"... "I might have a Gorgon." Luke was a little embarrassed Scratched his head.
Slytherin's flat expression also froze for a moment. He looked up and down at his descendant, and for a moment he was a little confused about the boy's way.
Luke smiled and didn't ask about it anymore. As long as he passed the test, he would naturally be able to get all the information.Of course, it doesn't matter if he doesn't pass, he can still choose to take it away.
"Tell me about the test, ancestor, what kind of test is it?"
Luke restrained the smile on his face, and asked with some seriousness.He was very interested in Slytherin's legacy.At the same time, he also believed that Slytherin would not teach his heritage so easily.Being tested is inevitable.
Seeing the earnest expression on his face, Slytherin nodded in satisfaction. It's not that he doesn't like lively people, but if the children of the Gaunt family can't be rational and calm, then he really is. will be very disappointed.
"I don't know what the content is. This is the test left by the main body, and after so many years, no one else has been able to enter the secret room..."
When Slytherin's missing body said this, the expression on his face also brought some helplessness.
After hearing this, Luke also hesitated: "But, ancestor, why didn't anyone come to the lower secret room? In my impression, there is a location for the secret room in the family records. It stands to reason that after so many years, there should always be how many A man from the Gaunt family who can come down."
Slytherin glanced at Luke, and then said, "Do you think that people from the Gaunt family can pass the screening over there?"
Luke was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that he might have passed the initial selection invisibly, and then the blood test...
"Even if they are not my descendants, as long as they can enter the lower secret room, I will give them a chance. This is the rule under the ontology. As long as they are talented enough, they can inherit the secret room. However, if they are not from the Gunter family, There are some vows to be made, just constraints."
Slytherin's thought body easily uttered a piece of news that made Luke feel both unexpected and reasonable.
After the initial astonishment, Luke also felt that this approach fit the image of Slytherin in the family records.The innate-only theory and the result-only theory have a certain degree of care for future generations, but correspondingly, if they really have no ability, they will give up without hesitation.
The best proof is that for so many years, no one from the Gunter family has been able to enter the lower secret room.
"What is the standard for evaluating talents?"
Luke was a little confused. In fact, the simplest question was that he never felt the existence of any test, so when was the assessment of his talent determined?
"Magic power, magic quality and age."
Slytherin's thought body was not hidden either.He said bluntly: "The standard is the body of the same age. Your current state is similar to the body of the year, maybe a little higher."... "Hiss——"
Even the current Luke couldn't help but gasp after all.He really felt that it was ridiculously difficult to get the ticket to the lower secret room.That is to say, if he hadn't taken a gamble during the summer vacation and brought up his magic power.Now it is impossible for him to enter the lower secret room... This requirement is really too high.Ridiculously high.
"People over the age of 17 cannot enter the secret room. Moreover, the spell of this test is very hidden, it is basically impossible to be seen, and at the same time, it is very difficult to crack."
Slytherin further explained: "That is to say, only students who meet the requirements, or those whose strength exceeds the original body when they left Hogwarts later, can enter the lower chamber."
This condition, to be honest, Luke was numb when he heard it.
More than Slytherin at the time.
If you want to enter through the normal way, then surpass Slytherin of the same age.If you want to use an abnormal way to enter, then surpass the Slytherin who matured later.
No matter how you hear this, it feels outrageous.
"Okay, let's not talk so much." Slytherin's thought body suddenly became a little impetuous, "I still have something to study, do you want to accept this test? Let me tell you, unless you pass this test, Otherwise, after you leave today, you will never be able to enter the secret room again."
"That one of mine is going to be put to the test!"
Luke is not a fool, knowing that such an opportunity cannot be missed.It's okay if he didn't come over at that time, since he has already come over, then he will definitely not let it go easily.
"Then... start."
The light on Slytherin's thought body suddenly brightened.Luke couldn't help closing his eyes tightly, but even so, he still felt a sting. It felt like someone suddenly threw a flash pop out in a dark cave, which was unacceptable for a while.
"I rely on..."
He let out an exclamation, but nothing else happened after that.
Seeing that Luke's body fell to the ground with a bang, Slytherin's thought body let out a long sigh of relief.
"I haven't talked to anyone for so many years. I'm really not used to talking to people all of a sudden..."
After speaking, he returned to the research bench where he sat at the beginning.
Different from other research benches, this research bench is very empty.There is neither any experimental equipment nor any experimental results.There is only one small bottle on the huge laboratory table.And the bottle seemed to be empty.But if you look closely, you can see a red hair.
Slytherin's thought body picked up a piece of paper, and lay down on the experimental table to write and draw.
But after a while, he suddenly smashed the quill in his hand on the experimental table with some anger.
"Damn! Do you need to be so guarded against the clone?!"
........................
the other side.
Luke felt a sharp whine in his ears.Unlike ordinary tinnitus, the sound in his ears made him feel a little uncomfortable.
He opened his eyes vigorously, but found it very difficult to open them.After finally opening it, I found that everything I looked at was very blurry, and even felt like a double image. ... "No, the test is the test, we can't make a surprise attack like this."
Luke patted his head to cheer up his mental state a little.But it had little effect, and he felt a little dizzy.
So he simply smashed it, lay down on the ground again, fumbled and pulled out the wand in his hand, and added many trap magic and protective magic to his surroundings.
After a long time, he finally felt that his condition had improved a lot.Opening his eyes again, he saw the scene in front of him.
Nothing special, still looks like a laboratory.
The surrounding decorations are simple but elegant enough. Although it looks like a place for magic experiments, it is not the kind of laboratory for people who know nothing about art.
"Have you seen enough?"
A deep and stern voice sounded abruptly behind Luke.
Luke, who had already sat up, bounced up almost instantly, looking behind him vigilantly.
He arranged a lot of magic just now, but none of them worked, not to mention that he didn't even feel that there was someone behind him.
And when he saw the appearance of that person clearly, he fell into doubt again.
"Ancestor?"
He asked tentatively.
The person in front of him was wearing a dark green wizard robe and looked dirty.There is no magic hat on his head, and he has black hair. The oil on his hair feels like he can make a meal of fish and chips with just a grasp.His face was haggard, and he even had the feeling of being dry.
The whole person seems to be in a much worse state than Slytherin's thought body.
"People from the Gaunt family? It seems that they are not all trash."
After the Slytherin here looked Luke up and down, he gave a cold evaluation.
"Since you're here, follow me. If you want to get the things I left at Hogwarts, come and work."
Slytherin's tone was quite bad, unlike the missing body, which seemed cold, but actually had a lot of warmth.This Slytherin here can even be regarded as indifferent.
Luke himself is the character that you respect me a foot, and I respect you a foot.He frowned, dissatisfied with the attitude of the Slytherin in front of him, of course, what made him more concerned.The Slytherin in the test seems to have a big gap with the thought body that Slytherin left in the secret room.
Slytherin didn't care about Luke who was in a daze and the dissatisfaction on his face, but walked towards the only test bench in the laboratory.
Footsteps sounded behind him, and he didn't need to turn his head to know that it was Luke who followed.
Of course Luke had to follow.After all, he didn't come here to play petty temper.In other words, the current Slytherin's attitude is the attitude he expected Slytherin to have towards him.
No matter how close everyone's blood connection is.Two people who have never met can never be said to be close.Even when someone takes the initiative to get close, it will make people feel disgusted.
What's more, there are countless generations between Slytherin and Luke.Slytherins, of course, are Luke's ancestors.But dads take care of sons, grandpas take care of beings, great-grandfathers take care of great-grandchildren...and then what?
Even if Gao Zu was alive, would he really care about his great-great-grandson?
Even here I still care.What about people like Luke and Slytherin?
It's nice to be able to maintain a certain amount of friendliness with each other.
Slytherin's footsteps were fast, not too hurried, but the speed was fast.Looking back again, when he saw Luke walking at his own pace, he urged.
"Come here, your task is to help me with this experiment last night!".
I will not update to remind you: remember to collect after reading
