"A lot." Felix said, "Many books I have read mention the four founders, but they are either illegible, contradictory, or leave only a few words, which are of no reference value at all. "
He gave an example, "Such as Salazar Slytherin, many people fear him, fear him, and call him a dark wizard... But what is the truth of the matter?"
"The truth?" Ms. Gray asked rhetorically, "What truth do you want?"
"Of course it is the truth in your eyes." Felix looked at her and said.
The ghost seemed to be lost in memory. She thought for a long time, and said solemnly: "Salazar Slytherin is a very good wizard. He and his wife are very affectionate..."
Felix: "???"
This was obviously not what he wanted to know, but it was a good start after all, so he continued along with her topic, "There is indeed very little information about his wife, but many people have mentioned that Slytherin looks ugly. Looks like a monkey."
The lady gave him a slightly proud look, "That was a side effect of his research on magic. Slytherin's original appearance was extremely outstanding, but as he went deeper into those... terrible areas, his appearance became more and more obvious. The more daunting."
Felix suddenly felt like this, he had a kind of pleasure to solve the mystery of the ages.
And Ms. Gray continued to recall: "He is always surrounded by snakes, wearing black or dark green robes all the year round, with a lingering smell of blood, and his eyes have also become very scary. "
Felix guessed that Slytherin might have transplanted the blood of some magical creature.
"——His character is getting more and more extreme, and his differences with other people are getting bigger...More than one quarrel broke out, and even his best friend Gryffindor can't stand it. But I have to make one point. There was no fighting between them, he just left quietly, and took away everything he had in a quiet morning."
"He also left the secret room." Felix reminded her.
"Maybe, but I have heard about it. Slytherin is not afraid to teach all kinds of cruel dark magic, but the other three strongly oppose this. So there are rumors that he quietly took his optimistic students in secret. Where to teach these horrible knowledge."
So, the secret room was originally used for teaching? Felix thought to himself, and solved another doubt. However, according to his speculation, as the conflict intensified later, Slytherin might have transferred some of his particularly **** research to the secret room.
Speaking of it, Felix had secretly returned to the secret room, used Harry's snakeskin pronunciation scroll, and carefully checked the circle, but found nothing, just found the pit hole where the basilisk usually sleeps.
Ms. Gray concluded: "But at least during the period of Hogwarts, he still fulfilled his original promise, guarding the school's teachers and students with his life, and resisting all kinds of attacks. Unlike the last few hundred years, Slytherin The college has completely changed..."
"What do you mean by the attack?" Felix caught the point.
She wandered around lightly, seeming to feel contempt for Felix's ignorance, but with a little excitement of pointing the country, she asked back: "You don't think Hogwarts was built in peace, right?"
Felix didn't respond much, he just made a "continue" gesture.
Ms. Gray said: "According to current standards, most wizards at that time were dark wizards. They used a mentorship system, with a large one with three or five small ones. These people wandered around in various villages to find those Potential newcomers, bring them by your side, and at the same time serve as your own servants."
"The establishment of Hogwarts, especially after the four founders covered the magic of the Pen of Acceptance and the Book of Access to the British Isles, these wizards suffered a fatal blow-they were always and thoroughly Lost the source of minions."
"The pen of acceptance, the book of access..." Felix chewed on these two words. He had heard the rumors of these two magical creations.
It is said that the name of every little wizard who enrolls can be found in the Book of Access.
When a child first reveals his magical talents, the Pen of Acceptance will try to write down his name; but the standards of the book of admission are stricter-only when these children have fully demonstrated their magical powers, their names Will be included in the access book.
The dexterity of the pen of acceptance, coupled with the strictness of the admission book, enables them to select qualified students for Hogwarts, and they have never made a mistake for thousands of years.
"The establishment of the new order will inevitably be accompanied by the counterattack of the old forces." Felix said with a sigh, he almost understood how Tom's vicious evaluation of Gryffindor in the diary came from.
The story of a thousand years ago is still going on——
"Some wizards recognized the efforts of the four founders, and they took the initiative to send their children to Hogwarts; but others—those extremely extreme dark wizards they hid in the dark, taking advantage of the When they were out or on vacation, they attacked Hogwarts professors and students again and again, and threw their bodies in front of Hogwarts Castle." She shuddered.
"This naturally attracted a counterattack from Hogwarts. Among them, Gryffindor's attitude was the most fierce. With his sword and wand, he defeated one after another who was extremely famous at the time. He even publicly declared, I am willing to accept anyone’s challenge, whether it’s the Muggle way or the wizard way."
Felix was fascinated by it. How can the records on the paper depict that magnificent history?
"What about the other three people?"
"They are doing the same thing, but Gryffindor has the best reputation. After a few years, some students graduated successfully, and their footprints spread all over the world, spreading the reputation of Hogwarts to the world. Not many people dare to provoke."
Ms. Gray finished the story with pride and remembrance.
Felix also benefited a lot. He expressed his gratitude sincerely: "Thank you, Ms. Helena Ravenclaw."
"No! Call me! This! Name!" The ghost in front of her suddenly said excitedly. Her transparent cheeks didn't seem to be so transparent anymore. Before he could speak, she disappeared through the wall.
Felix: "..."
At the same time, a low, hoarse voice suddenly appeared, and he said: "Don't mention that name, that is her taboo."
Felix turned around, and in front of him was a ghost that was described as withered and very pale. The ghost was wearing an ancient wizard robe covered with silver blood and a pair of huge shackles.
"Long time no see, Barrow."
