Chapter 375 Immortal Incarnation
There were no classes that afternoon.
But that didn't mean that Sherin could take a break - Shalfu had sent him a message, asking him to go to the Slytherin Chamber.
When he arrived at the Slytherin Chamber, although he was mentally prepared, the scene in front of him still surprised Sherin.
The house-elves of the Yaxley and Selwyn families knelt side by side on the ground, lowering their heads, not daring to make eye contact with Sherin, but their trembling shoulders still exposed their inner fear.
On one side were piles of books, boxes full of treasures, and dark magic items that exuded an ancient and dangerous atmosphere. Everything was neatly placed on the ground, and everything was visible.
Sherin summoned Latifa, Dobby and Winky with his mind, and the three of them and the four house-elves began to sort and organize the things.
Most of the ordinary books were directly handed over to Latifa, who put them in Sherin's private library for sorting. According to Latifa's estimate, after this harvest, the number of books in the private library will exceed 1,000 for the first time. In terms of quantity, it is no less than that of the Hogwarts Library. Even in terms of quality, the rarity of the books in the private library is even greater.
[A large number of magic books are obtained! ]
The house elves are responsible for handling various treasures, including many alchemical items, precious potions, materials from rare magical animals and plants, etc. After two hours of sorting, they actually filled four large wooden boxes, which is more than the treasures in the Malfoy family's secret room.
[A large number of treasures, potions, and materials are obtained! ]
The remaining dark magic items and dark magic books are dangerous, so they must be handled by Sherin or Sharf.
The number of such items and books is the smallest, but it takes the most time to handle them, and they are the last to be sorted out.
As expected of the second and third pure-blood families in the British wizarding world, their collection of dark magic books is still amazing even with Sherin's vision and knowledge today.
After just a cursory glance, Schelling saw several books that interested him. For example, one book actually recorded how to make a long-lost giant golem. Although most of the materials needed in it have long been extinct in modern times, there are still many things in its production method that Schelling can learn from.
There is also a book that actually records how to transform a person or a beast into a bloodthirsty curse with infinite power, madness and violence. Of course, since the transformed monster is out of control, this spell is also regarded as a forbidden spell that is not suitable for use and has become useless.
It can be seen that these magics almost all have traces of ancient war magic. Today, there has been no large-scale magic war for a long time, and they actually have little practical value.
But the study of magic has never been about its practical value, Schelling believes so.
All magic has its value to be studied, and the principles behind these magics abandoned by the times can often bring new inspiration to magic innovation.
Putting the black magic book aside, Schelling picked up the secret magic of the Yaxley family and read it carefully without blinking.
"This is really a remarkable magic!" Xie Lin, who was already absorbed in reading it, couldn't help but sigh. If it weren't for the high entry threshold, the overall strength of the Yaxley family today would definitely not be limited to today's level.
This secret magic is called "Undead Incarnation", which can create a zombie-like clone for the caster, with the ability to share vision, thinking, and magic power with the caster, and can also cast magic. The most important thing is that this clone is immortal. Even if it is broken into pieces by the Killing Curse, those pieces will automatically return to their original positions, sew together and return to their original state.
Of course, there are limitations. This clone is only one-third of the original body in terms of movement speed and casting speed, and the magic power consumed for each casting is three times that of the original body.
In other words, the biggest use of this clone is to be used as a meat shield to resist attacks, rather than the main force responsible for output.
The reason why this magic was not mastered by the Yaxley family is that the minimum threshold for learning it is to have the magic power of a great magician - but this point alone has already excluded more than 99% of the wizards in the world.
But Xielin was not an exception - rest assured, Yaxley, I will bring your family secret spell back to the world!
[The Dark Magic Book is obtained! ]
[The Yaxley family spell "Undying Avatar" is obtained! ]
Xielin put the thin scroll of secret spells into his pocket space with great care, intending to learn this magic as soon as possible when he has time, so that he can add a killer.
Taking advantage of this gap, he glanced at Sharfu, whose cherry mouth was biting her snakewood wand, and she was concentrating on slowly flipping through a book called "Charm from the Heart". The cover of the book was a black-skinned female nymph posing. Xielin was stunned for a while, and he chose to keep silent when he was about to say something.
Then, he couldn't wait to open the secret magic and core inheritance sent by the Selwyn family.
He was surprised and happy to find the other half of the Lestrange family magic that he had been thinking about.
The Lestrange family has several branches in France, but in Great Britain, there are only two brothers, Rabastan Lestrange and Rodolphus Lestrange, as direct descendants of the family.
If the illegitimate children leave the family, they can only be allocated a sum of gold, but the family ancestral house and all the inheritance related to magic must remain in the main family. After the two brothers were imprisoned, the family elders also promoted the underage Gallup from the illegitimate children to join the direct family tree. The purpose was to prevent the two brothers in prison from having any accidents, so as not to cause the family to be leaderless. The underage Gallup's mind is not mature yet, and he is the best candidate to be controlled by the family elders as a puppet.
Therefore, Gallup actually only learned the superficial fur of the Lestrange family magic, and he didn't even have the slightest idea of the real inheritance.
Although Rabastan and Rodolphus were crazy about the Death Eaters' hegemony, it didn't mean that they were ignorant fools. They were also worried that the direct family inheritance in their hands would be coveted by those greedy and ambitious elders, so before they got into trouble, they put all the wealth and precious magic items into the vault of Gringotts, which only the two brothers and Bellatrix had the right to visit.
As for the dark magic books, family magic, and core inheritance, they were divided into two, half of which was given to Bellatrix's most trusted mother, Druella Black, and the other half was hidden in the secret room of the family's ancestral home.
The one in Druella's hands fell into Sherin's hands long after she passed away.
The one in the secret room of the family's ancestral home was seized by the ambitious Selwyn family as the suzerain family, and now it has fallen into Sherin's hands again.
Now, he can finally combine the two broken parts into one and truly obtain the complete Lestrange family magic.
[Lestrange Family Magic Supplement Obtained! ]
Lestrange's family magic is mainly based on distorting the five senses and torturing and destroying. In addition to the common Cruciatus Curse in the original book, there are also advanced uses of the Cruciatus Curse, such as using various sensory stimulations to collapse a person's will, and even making a person's spiritual world become irreparably fragmented, and the end result is that he becomes a soulless walking corpse, and only acts according to instinct and needs.
After putting away the Lestrange family secret spell scroll again, Sherin picked up the Selwyn family scroll to check.
Although the Selwyn family also has some powerful family spells, they are all similar to the Malfoy family's "Light and Shadow Blade" and "Light and Shadow Shield" magic. For ordinary small and medium-sized families, or young wizards from Muggle families, it may be an amazing inheritance, but for Sherin, it is a bit not enough.
Xie Lin frowned - this was not right. How could the Selwyn family, the second most powerful family, have such an ordinary inheritance?
