Chapter 278: Opening Words: Godric Gryffindor

Chapter 278 Initiation: Godric Gryffindor

"It seems that the basilisk in this world is not dead."

Harry frowned when he heard that Krum had not seen the basilisk's body.

"Fleur asked me to ask you a question." Krum said, "What is the activation language of that statue?"

"Let me think about it" Harry's eyes flashed with memories. "Speak to me, Slytherin - the greatest of the Hogwarts Four. Wait. This is in Parseltongue."

On the other side, after hearing Krum's narration, Fleur, who had just stood tall and confident, instantly stooped.

(Dumbledore also rubbed his temples, "This is too complicated.")

(Even he couldn't accurately translate it into snake language.)

Harry seemed to have anticipated Fleur's predicament in advance, and he continued: "This is more difficult, Sias Agatha Selise, that's about it."

(Ron shook his head, "Girls' hearts are the hardest to guess. The boy's version of Slytherin sets the starting words to emphasize Hogwarts, the greatest of the Big Four. If you switch to the girl's version of Slytherin, I I think it’s more reliable to say ‘Gryffindor’s favorite person’.”)

Sure enough, just as Ron had guessed, Fleur, who knew Parselang and translated Harry's transliteration perfectly, faced Waterloo in front of the Slytherin statue.

The statue's chin remained motionless, as if it hadn't heard anything.

Finally, Furong took out the Demon Fairy's Hundred Treasures Book.

She began to wonder if her snake language was not standard, but she did not suspect that her activation language was wrong.

As the screen lit up, Harry's head appeared inside.

"Harry, the statue is not responding."

Harry looked at the statue through the treasure book, "Well, let me try. Sias Agatha Selise."

The statue remained unresponsive.

Cedric's voice came from the treasure book, "Could it be the activation language?"

Under Cedric's prompting, the three people's brains bypassed this bend.

He ran to the library in the lounge.

In the corner of the library.

"What will be the starting words?" Harry touched his chin and flipped through the book, "Sarah Slytherin, one of the four founders of Hogwarts School of Witches, a medieval witch, was considered the most powerful witch at that time. One of the great wizards. She is a Parseltongue and is skilled in Legilimency."

"Like Rowena Ravenclaw and Godric Gryffindor, Sarah Slytherin carefully selected students for her house."

("Great Hufflepuff." Some viewers exclaimed almost simultaneously.)

(Only Hufflepuff fought hard to admit all the students.)

"The qualities she looked for in her students included resourcefulness, strong will, a certain disdain for the rule of law, and her own ability to speak Parseltongue. She also selected those with shrewdness, ambition and pedigree. A pure student. The symbol of Slytherin's house is the snake, and its representative colors are green and silver."

("This is no different from the Slytherins in our world. They are all pure-bloodists and stupid old stubborns." After hearing this, Ron began to complain.)

"However, her most notable role in history is that she was the suitor of Godric Gryffindor, who was also the founder, and Rowena Ravenclaw, who was also the founder of Hull. Gar Hufflepuff competes for Gryffindor's love."

"Hey, this is too much."

(Many viewers were also stunned by this statement.)

("There will be no Gryffindors in this school.")

("No wonder Gryffindor is a wizard and the founder of a school for witches.")

("How handsome Gryffindor is!")

"In the end, Ravenclaw won the love competition. Hufflepuff accepted defeat calmly. Slytherin became more and more extreme after that."

"Beginning to completely exclude wizards as students, she was even willing to accept Muggle-born witches for this reason."

("This is all because of love!" Some of the more emotional viewers have already turned red-eyed.)

"However, other founders disagreed with him."

"So, in order to eliminate wizards from the school without being hindered by other founders, she built a secret room containing monsters and waited for her heir to open it. Then she left the school and never came back."

(Ron scoffed, "So she knows her heir is a wizard?")

("So, even though it was a witch college, there were still male students at the beginning?" Hermione remembered Roan saying that after 1945, Hogwarts was renamed Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and wizards could also enroll.)

("So since when were wizards not allowed to enter school?")

Hermione's question was answered in the next second.

"After Slytherin left, the other founders' ideas began to waver."

"Since it is difficult for wizards to learn spell card magic before they are underage and rely on wands, in the Middle Ages when wizards were excluded, most wizard families thought it was more appropriate for them to receive family education."

"A small number of wizards from Muggle families are more likely to be taken in and educated by local wizard lords."

(Although wizard lord is a very unfamiliar word to modern wizards, it is still understandable to most viewers.)

(However, some wizards who are more familiar with the history of magic are a little 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 Muggles would not necessarily delay the practice of magic, it was equivalent to lighting a bonfire in the dark night in that dark age, attracting the attention of other wizards and the church that regarded magic as evil.)

(It would be fine if it was the church, after all, they were Muggles, and they only dared to catch fake witches to burn.)

(At most, they poisoned and assassinated wizards because they were still mortal.)

(At that time, wizards had not yet adopted modern magic with low destructive power and speed, and everyone was committed to maximizing their destructive power.)

(Every wizard is a walking disaster.)

(And if the wizards you attract don't like your rule, it will be bad.)

(They just need to hide in A meteor shower or a tornado will be created in the dark while you are sleeping, and you will destroy the castle and everyone in it. )

(No matter how well you manage your territory, you will only become a target and help the dark wizards store food.)

(In addition, the Ministry of Magic did not exist at that time, and the wizarding society was very loose.)

(So, the wizard lords quickly withdrew from history.)

(How did the wizard lords grow and become the mainstream in that world?)

(How did they withdraw from history and promote the Statute of Secrecy?)

(At the same time, some ambitious people discovered that this might be a good choice in the current situation of large-scale magic withdrawal, the use of short and fast modern magic, and the collective habits of wizards.)

(Wizards ruling Muggles may be established.)

("Wizard lord?" Grindelwald's eyes flickered and he began "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 try it out in a certain area and then gradually promote it.")

("Rule over Muggles? Good idea." Voldemort was also very tempted by this.)

(After the magic fairy world had been promoting knowledge of the Muggle world, he had learned about the Muggle society that 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 began to regard the Muggle world as something in his pocket, and after knowing how big the universe is and how small the earth is, he has set his sights on the vast universe.)

(He longed to be the god-like existence behind this game.)

(The Horcruxes were launched to the moon and the vast universe through rockets; the Muggle high-end weapons and magic , so that they are no longer affected by the magic magnetic field, or because a magic becomes ineffective; genetic technology studies magical animals, cloning.)

(But in contrast, he now begins to dislike his subordinates who only know how to massacre Muggles and affect social stability.)

(He was not a pure-blooded person.)

(His thoughts are beginning 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 proportion of some of his subordinates in his heart.)

(He even began to recognize the existence of the Statute of Secrecy, which can prevent stupid wizards from affecting the development of Muggles. )

("It is only me who can rule the Muggles, and there can only be me.")

Harry was not a historian, nor an ambitious person, and did not notice this. He continued to read: "So, after Gryffindor's death, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry no longer accepted male wizard students."

He looked at the others, "What do you think the activation words of Slytherin would be?"

Krum guessed, "Slytherin - Gryffindor's only lover?"

Cedric: "All wizards should die?"

Listening to the answers of the two, Harry closed the book, "Or, let's go ask Harry. Just say we found Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets."

Cedric shook his head, "Or we should wait for Fleur, she is a girl, maybe she can guess it."

The three people placed high hopes on Fleur, who had been silent all the time, suddenly brightened up.

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 like us, so 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 fairy device. In this world, they can obviously communicate with the heroic spirits.")

(Lavender looked at him with admiration, "It's worthy of being Luo Luo.")

(Hermione guessed: "Maybe the relationship is not good?")

(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 being blind and knowing nothing about the outside world.)

Krum said: "Perhaps it is because he does not know that the basilisk has not left the space behind the statue and has lived safely until now."

Feng Rong ignored Krum's words, "Perhaps, the activation words are engraved below the shoulders of the statue, in the water."

The pressure was on Krum.

He was the only one who could make his body virtual, so he became the best choice to go into the water.

"Hurry up, it's 1:30 in 40 minutes, and Transfiguration class is about to start." Harry began to urge.

Krum's body began to disintegrate, and his body submerged into the cold and dark lake water.

This gave him a sense of déjà vu as when he was diving at the bottom of a black lake.

As far as the eye could see, there was darkness, no sunlight, and incomparable silence.

But it was just a sense of déjà vu.

In his virtual state, he couldn't feel the pressure of the water, which was no different from when he was flying in the air and walking on the earth.

And in his ghost state, he couldn't even hear his own heartbeat.

The modified eyes can also easily see in the dark.

The white statue seems to have turned into carved emerald.

Soon, the statue's oddly clasped hands attracted his attention.

He 'flyed' towards the palm of his hand.

A string of words appeared in his field of vision and were engraved on his palm.

In the corner of the wizard's library, another Krum opened his eyes with a strange look on his face, "I know what the statue's activation words are."

"What is it?" x3

"Godric Gryffindor." Krum said, "The activation words are engraved on the palm of the statue. Perhaps until the end, she was longing for Gryffindor's love."

("Does Slytherin love him so much?" Ron was stunned.)

(Dumbledore looked at his palm, "I can understand.")

(Many grateful audience members were moved to tears.)

"Godric Gryffindor." Harry's hissing voice came from the treasure book.

Fleur closed her eyes in advance, while Krum still maintained his ghost state, all to prevent the basilisk's murderous sight.

Ghosts can no longer die and can be physically blocked by closing their eyes.

Slytherin's huge stone face moved.

Its mouth opened, a huge black hole appeared, and the sound of a basilisk slithering upward from the depths of the statue appeared.

"Sarah's successor? Hopefully a witch this time."

Fleur frowned and tried to translate.

Krum didn't understand at all.

The hissing snake language reached Harry's ears through the treasure book and was changed to English.

"Hello." Harry replied in parseltongue.

He was a little surprised that this basilisk could still communicate.

(Voldemort was also a little surprised. The basilisk he accepted was a beast that was completely obsessed with animal instincts. It could only speak a few short sentences and obey orders. It was not even comparable to ordinary snakes.)

(Obviously Slytherin has transformed it with black magic and is specially used for killing. Without brains, it is easier to surrender to the heir.)

(The basilisk in this world is very organized.)

(Is it possible that the role of this world is not to clean up students?)

A huge snake fell into the water and crawled onto the stone floor.

It raised the snake's head high 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 magical items.

"A wizard again? Who is Tom Riddle to you?"
