Chapter two hundred and ninety seventh burst
The award ceremony went smoothly and there was no "worry about something". Felix felt that Professor Trelawney had misunderstood again, but it was hard to say that he could not enter the Prophecy Hall of the Department of Mysterious Affairs to see if there were any new prophecies.
The Mysterious Affairs Department is located on the ninth floor of the Ministry of Magic. It is the department that the Ministry of Magic conducts secret research on specific puzzles. Most of its business is top secret, and even employees of other departments of the Ministry of Magic are very secretive about it.
Wizards working in the Department of Mystery Affairs are called silent people, and these people are forbidden to disclose any details about the work and the place. Felix speculated that they may have signed a harsh confidentiality agreement while being allowed to conduct dangerous research, but also being subject to more restrictions.
However, there are rumors that the Department of Mysterious Affairs has a mysterious room. Every time a prophecy appears in the world, a prophecy ball will automatically appear here. Since the establishment of the Ministry of Magic, thousands of prophecies may have been recorded and waited for verification by future generations.
...
Felix played with a gold medal with purple ribbons hanging on it to commend his personal "excellent achievements and efforts". Belby told him that the first-class medal was equipped with green ribbons, representing Slytherin College.
"Isn't Merlin a medieval man? Can he have something to do with Slytherin Academy?" Felix asked curiously.
"Ha, when some pure blood families traced their genealogy, they claimed that their ancestors had followed Meilin..."
"Really or not?"
"Who knows! But some families are indeed passed down for a long time."
Felix returned to the office, and the next two weeks of Easter holiday, he could sort out his recent work. But the first thing he had to deal with was Easter eggs piled up half a house. He suddenly felt a little sour. These chocolate candies could be eaten until ten years later.
He picked some for Sirius and gave them the results of the recent analysis of the live spot map.
It was a rather simple map, the size of a palm and the shape was irregular, just like the result of a child's random graffiti, just simply marked the castle, forbidden forest, black lake and seagrid hut.
Sirius took it with disgust. There were dense dots on it, which made people dizzy, but some names were marked with golden small words. Those were all those Sirius cared about Harry Potter, Remus Lupin, Severus Snape, Albus Dumbledore...
"Actually, there is also Petrite, but it's impossible to see."
Sirius used his teeth to tear open the wrapping paper of an Easter chocolate egg, and took a hard bite of the chocolate on it, "Thank you, otherwise I'll be crazy." He kept staring at the piece of paper as big as a palm.
Kliche said in a low voice: "The prodigal young master goes to the Muggle community to play chess every day, bringing back a stinking smell..."
"Shut up, Kliche." Sirius roared in anger.
As the days passed, Felix took the time to reorganize the magic items he had studied this year and included the research materials into the Thinking Hut.
Montongus went to the Far East as planned and brought back a large number of magical items, while Felix had only one request for ancient.
While enriching his knowledge, he also felt more and more that he was a bit like Flivi when he was young, and had mastered too many magical scripts, but only a small part of them could be used.
"This is also my original intention of writing the Book of Demonic Texts."
Felix thought, as his thoughts beat, magic symbols after magic appeared in the air, gold, red, blue, green... like colorful rivers, flowing in the office.
"The next nameless book, ha, I remember Ron Weasley called it Ghost Book, it's a bit like it."
In front of Felix, a half-virtual book appeared. The first few pages were real entities, and then all were illusory, very similar to the nameless book in Harry's hand, but the two were not comparable.
He opened a new page, and one magic text after another flew out of the colorful river, jumping into the pages, and various magic text forms were transformed on the page.
A hanging waterfall, lightning breaking through the sky, bridges connecting the two places, and the ever-diffusion of green mist...
Felix looked at all this with satisfaction. If he included all the magical texts, it meant that he had fully mastered the magical symbols of these magical texts, although the process might last for a long time.
He suddenly thought of a question, how did the original ancient magic come about?
Are wizards born with it? It’s a bit unrealistic. He tends to accidentally trigger this inspiration when ancient wizards were studying magical animals and magical plants.
The difference between the two is that for magical creatures, talent is an instinct that requires no learning, just like people can run and jump, they are born to release lightning and change their bodies, but inevitably, they are also restricted by their bodies.
After the ancient wizards transformed their talents into ancient magic, they accidentally got rid of this confinement. Their problem was to exhaust their minds to control them and prevent them from getting out of control. But from another perspective, they also made this magic stronger.
Felix's heart moved and took out a stack of parchment paper, which was the manuscript left by Slytherin. He had decided to seal these materials because Salazar Slytherin's methods were too cruel and the path of magic that was not suitable for him. However, it seems that the two have already intersected.
Before he knew it, he could use his own path to analyze other people's paths.
Felix skipped the bloody and cruel methods and looked at the records of magical animals, especially the three parchment paper he had picked out before that he thought was suitable for him, which recorded a way of thinking Slytherin studied blood magic in his early years: how to peel off the talents of magical creatures into spells used by wizards.
This seems to coincide with Felix's conjecture. Salazar Slytherin had thought of re-taking the path of ancient wizards and gaining inspiration from a wider world of magic.
But unfortunately, he finally gave up this idea.
Felex couldn't help but guess that if Salazar Slytherin chose to give up, what was he pursuing? Reminding that Helena once told him that Salazar Slytherin went deeper and his appearance became more and more terrifying, it seemed that Slytherin had tried himself and integrated into the bloodline of magical creatures, and, most likely, more than one.
Salazar Slytherin finally becomes completely inhuman?
Ms. Royna Ravenclaw's words were still in her ears, "We can be considered magical creatures ourselves."
What can be considered a magical creature? Or to ask, what changes will happen to the wizard when he is called a magical creature? Felix has no way of knowing, but he believes that since Ms. Ravenclaw told him so seriously, it means that this is a huge threshold.
And it is very likely that Salazar Slytherin crossed this threshold by replacing blood vessels. What are the other three people?
So far, he only knows Royna Ravenclaw. Judging from the manuscripts she left behind, she is a real versatile talent, alchemy, deformation, spell, potion, and all, but the most researched is memory magic.
As Felix became more and more deeply in the realm of memory magic, he also had a question: Is Royna Ravenclaw, whom he met in the house of Responsible Requests, really just a memory?
Or is that she herself?
What will the memory node develop into at the end? Is it related to the soul?
He had too many questions, but no one could answer these questions, he could only walk on his own.
On the last day of the Halloween holiday, Felix regained his mood and prepared to welcome the last part of the school year, but Dumbledore suddenly appeared with a serious expression, bringing him bad news.
