Chapter 406: The Scepter Swallowed by the Serpent

"More than 600 years ago, I brought this book back to Beauxbatons from Egypt and put it here!" LeMay explained, "The seeds of this tree were also brought in at that time, and I did not I noticed that it was actually caught in the pages of the book. When I found it, it had already begun to sprout and grow. In the following hundreds of years of alchemy experiments, it absorbed the powerful magic power overflowing from the Philosopher’s Stone, and slowly grew up, gradually becoming what it is today. appearance."

Aiwen raised his head and looked up at the huge ancient crystal tree.

Then, his eyes quickly turned to the "Book of Abraham" in the center of the tree!

As Flamel said before, this is a very big and thick magic book.

It looks very old, the pages of the book are made of delicate and smooth bark, showing a strange lavender color under the fluorescent light, and the edges have begun to crystallize.

That's right, crystallization!

Just like the huge ancient tree in front of me, they seem to be made of the same material.

Ivan had a feeling that the pages of "The Book of Abraham" were made of this strange ancient crystal tree in front of him, and they were one.

He took a step forward so he could see better.

The quaint and heavy atmosphere came head-on. Although he didn't touch or flip through it, Aiwen could clearly feel the traces of the passage of time on this book.

It just visits there quietly, as if it has never been moved.

Thousands of years have passed in a hurry. It is conceivable that in history, countless talented and powerful wizards once owned this magic book.

Each of them is a powerful wizard who can leave his name in the history of magic. Around the ownership of this magic book, there have been countless battles and conspiracies.

Judging from the current results, no matter how many people have obtained the "Book of Abraham", none of them can know the real secret hidden in it.

Flamel should be the one closest to the truth, from which he gained endless life and unimaginable wealth for ordinary people.

But he said that his starting point itself was wrong.

Ivan took a deep breath, not knowing whether he would be able to penetrate the mystery of this book, or, like its previous owners, would leave deep regrets in the end.

He shook his head, hastening to concentrate.

In front of Ivan, the outer skin of the "Book of Abraham" was tightly wrapped by a large piece of brass.

It is full of small and complicated lines, and from time to time, dark golden brilliance flashes.

There is no name written on the cover directly above, or a horrible pattern is drawn like other ancient magic books, as a warning to those who come later.

On the contrary, it was densely filled with strange words.

Looking at these ancient texts, Ai Wen felt that he vaguely knew each other, as if he had seen them somewhere.

Then, he realized that these were all ancient runes.

Not long ago, he had seen similar content in Hermione's textbook.

Every Thursday night, Hermione would spend more than five hours practicing the ancient runes she had learned on the parchment or searching for information to learn new runes.

Because I watched a lot, Ivan also learned a lot.

But these ancient runes in front of him are older and more complex than all the ancient runes he knows, with strange and distorted patterns, they are completely hieroglyphs.

Even if Aiwen racked his brains, he still couldn't understand the meaning of these words.

"This book is yours now, and sooner or later you will know the meaning of these words. As I said, this is a powerful spell." Flamel said, "No magic is needed, just the power of words, It can be successfully cast. I sincerely hope that you will never use it."

Being able to make LeMay repeatedly exhort, the power of this spell must be beyond imagination.

Looking at the ancient text, Ai Wen had many guesses in his mind, but in the end they were all rejected one by one.

You must know that Abraham, as God's spokesperson in the world, possesses power that should not be guessed by ordinary people at all.

Ivan couldn't imagine what kind of spell this would be.

Under the gesture of Flamel, he stepped forward and gently opened the pages of the book.

The pages are heavy and very rough!

Ai Wen flipped through it briefly, and it was obvious that the book was divided into three parts, and each part consisted of seven pages.

On the front page of the first part, there is no text, just a drawing of a stone.

Ivan recognized it as a Philosopher's Stone with just one glance.

The next seven pages were all the same ancient runes as the cover, which recorded knowledge related to alchemy, from which Flamel researched the method of making the Sorcerer's Stone.

On the first page of the second part, there is also no text, but a pattern.

This is a huge scepter that is being swallowed by two giant snakes at both ends. Ivan was surprised to find that he had seen this scepter and these two giant snakes in other places.

Not so long ago, what happened deep underground in Aragog's lair is still vivid.

In the stone room where the terrifying eyeball monster was located, Ivan saw four magic items left by Salazar Slytherin on the last mural.

They are a locket, a ring, a wand, and a scepter surrounded by two big green snakes from bottom to top, and that scepter is the one pictured in the book.

There is absolutely nothing wrong, Ivan can be sure.

Except that the scepter is surrounded by two snakes from bottom to top, and the scepter on the painting in front of you is being swallowed by two snakes, the rest of the details are exactly the same.

There is not even the slightest difference in the lines on the body.

Ivan was short of breath. He didn't expect that his premonition just now came true, and "The Book of Abraham" was related to Slytherin himself.

Salazar may be one step further than Flamel. Flamel only has the Philosopher's Stone at hand, and he just studies and understands the first part of the book.

And Salazar Slytherin got the staff, and he probably already figured out the second part.

Because there is too little information, Ivan has no way of knowing whether Salazar has obtained this book. If he is a certain owner of this book, why is this book not kept in Hogwarts, but lost? In ancient Egypt, it was finally found by Flamel.

If Salazar hadn't read the Book of Abraham, where did he get the staff?

Whether he knew what it represented was a mystery.

Ai Wen tried to calm down, not to think about these things, and continued to turn backwards.

Behind the scepter swallowed by the giant snake, there are another six pages of ancient runes.

These magic words are more esoteric and difficult to understand than the previous ones. Ivan feels that they are like graffiti drawn by a child, purely meaningless patterns.

He looked at it for a while, but didn't have the slightest clue.

No wonder Flamel has studied for hundreds of years, but has not researched anything.

It seems that if you want to understand the meaning of the words above, you can only find the snake staff left by Salazar Slytherin.

Thinking of this, Ivan couldn't help sighing.

There seemed to be nothing but endless trouble with Slytherin.

In addition to the evil god created by the despicable Haierbo, there are also his group of vampire descendants who are facing great difficulties. (To be continued.)
