Harry Potter and the Secret Treasure

What appeared in front of him seemed to be a road of flames. The four of them stared dumbfounded at the scene in front of them, as if they had merged into this red world where they could not tell the difference between up, down, left, and right. They stared blankly at the picture for a long time before Aiwen returned Come to think of it, in front of them is a confined space.

There is no way to move forward, and the road of flames that Ivan thought was simply rolling magma.

The top of the secret room and the walls on all sides were also occupied by flowing magma, and everything merged together to form this world made of flames.

The heat was raging, and the flames seemed to consume everything.

In this space completely made of flames, the four of them looked so small, so isolated and helpless.

Ivan stood at the end of the secret passage and looked inside, Harry, Hermione, and Elaine stood behind him.

On the wall facing them is a relief, also covered in lava, that is a statue of Salazar Slytherin.

I can't see the exact appearance, but the line of text on the relief is very obvious.

Not Parseltongue, but plain English.

The text composed of protruding stones conveys such a message: the falling blood will verify the truth, and those with pure blood will get the treasure.

"The falling blood will verify the truth, and those with pure blood will get the treasure!" Ivan repeated in a low voice.

"What does it mean?"

"Probably as we guessed, Salazar Slytherin intends to use some method to verify the bloodlines of the people who drive here before deciding whether to hand over the treasure to them." Ivan said, observing carefully Four weeks, "Well, if I'm not wrong, he seems to want us to drip blood into the lava below?"

"Looks like it!" echoed Hermione, who was also examining the line.

"What are you talking about?" Harry asked suspiciously.

"Just a guess, Harry, but it should be about the same. Stand back and let me try."

As Ivan said, he stretched out his left hand forward, and took the wand in his right hand and gently swipe over the index finger of his left hand.

A slender wound appeared on his finger, and a few drops of blood were exposed, falling into the endless lava below.

Soon, the blood melted into a deeper crimson, as if it had been evaporated.

For a moment, nothing happened, but soon a pillar of fire rose into the sky where Aiwen's blood fell.

With the shouts of Harry and Hermione and the huge roar, the pillar of fire struck Ivan with an astonishing momentum.

Aiwen hurriedly raised his wand, and a protective cover came out of thin air to stop the pillar of fire attacking him.

Fire and magic collide until they are exhausted.

"Aiwen, what happened just now?" Hermione asked with wide-eyed eyes, pulling Aiwen back, "That pillar of fire..."

"It verified our guess, but my blood didn't meet Slytherin's requirements, so he wouldn't give me anything, and even attacked me with magic." Ivan said, squinting his eyes and moving forward again, looking Looking at the relief on the opposite wall, "If I had known this, I would have prepared some blood from those pure-blood wizards!"

Chapter 1628 Blood Verification

The blood that falls will verify the truth, and the pure blood will receive the treasure.

Salazar Slytherin had left this final test in front of his vault, one that no pure-blood wizard could possibly pass.

Unlike courage, perseverance and wisdom, such things as blood are innate and cannot be changed the day after tomorrow.

Salazar Slytherin didn't just talk, he actually acted.

He will not leave anything to non-pure-blood wizards, even if you find the key left by Slytherin and enter his vault, but if it is not his descendants or the bloodline he recognized Wizard, then you can't get Slytherin's treasure.

Pure blood, Salazar Slytherin took it to the extreme.

The lava pool in front of Ivan and others is an unparalleled magic. It can verify the blood of the people who come here to judge whether their bloodlines meet the requirements of Salazar Slytherin. Ivan does not know that Slytherin What kind of magic was used, which sounds incredible, maybe the knowledge of potions was used in it.

In other words, the lava in front of them was actually a specially processed potion.

Then, let's imagine that the underground of Gringotts is actually a huge potion crucible...

This magic is undoubtedly shocking, but for a wizard of Slytherin's level, it doesn't seem impossible to do it.

Everyone knows that Salazar Slytherin is very good at potion science. In the history of magic, many potion masters have also graduated from Slytherin House. It seems that when they are separated, certain qualities of Slytherin students are very suitable Developed in potions, but Ivan didn't expect Salazar Slytherin to be good at this.

He is using nature to brew potions, using heaven and earth as potion crucibles, and brewing magma into potions.

This kind of ultra-difficult magic is simply incredible, even more shocking than when Gryffindor borrowed the power of the stars.

"What the hell is going on here?" Harry asked again.

"Harry, the magic left by Slytherin is to verify the bloodlines of the wizards who come here to see if their bloodlines meet his requirements." Hermione said, she observed the lava in front of him behind Aiwen , "That is to say, we have to drip our own blood into the lava. If we meet Slytherin's requirements, then we may get the treasure he left in this vault; if we don't meet Slytherin's requirements , then he will be attacked by magma just like Aiwen just now..."

"The magma can verify blood?" Harry said in surprise, turning his head in disbelief, "How did he do it?"

"No one knows. I guess it might be a kind of potion. Slytherin pre-fused the blood of the wizard blood he was looking for. You will get the treasure, just like a special lock." Ivan said, "I don't know which wizarding family the pure-bloods Slytherin sees belong to, but the blood of the few of us may not meet the requirements."

"Hmph, pure blood, Malfoy's blood must meet the requirements." Harry said disdainfully.

"In other words, we won't get anything?" Elaine asked.

"It should be like this. Nothing that Salazar Slytherin left in this vault was left to us." Ivan sighed and said, "Of course, there is another way to get his treasure, There is no need to verify any blood, but to destroy the lock and break in directly."

But this is impossible. Aiwen can use the remaining Cyclops' energy to detonate the lava again, but the treasure hidden inside may also be destroyed, and this is not a sea with nothing. Once the magma erupts , Diagon Alley outside will also be destroyed, which will undoubtedly be a catastrophe.

At that time, Aiwen will be recorded in the history of magic in another way, destroying the evil dark wizards in Diagon Alley and most of London...

"Can you force your way in?"

"It's impossible." Ivan shook his head.

"Then why are we still standing here, let's get out of this damn place." Elaine said decisively.

She is not interested in the treasures left by Slytherin at all, although in name, these things left by Slytherin should belong to her.

"Wait a minute, don't rush away, the three of you haven't tried it yet." Ivan said, and hurriedly stopped Elaine who was about to leave.

"But you just said that none of our blood meets the requirements."

"That's right, the four of us are not pure-blooded, but there are no real pure-blooded wizards now." Aiwen said, "Thousands of years have passed, no matter which wizard's blood has become very mixed, regardless of this point , purely from the perspective of potion science, any kind of material may cause changes in the potion, our blood is now the material, maybe some of it will meet Salazar Slytherin's request, let him part of the treasure For us, it’s also impossible to say.”

Just from the perspective of potion science, the four of Aiwen and the others are not entirely possible.

Especially Harry and Elaine, whose ancestors were already wizards thousands of years ago.

The two of them should have some pure blood, it depends on whether they can meet the requirements of Slytherin.

"I hate Potions!" Elaine muttered.

"Okay, you three have a try, Hermione, you come first, then Harry and Elaine." Ivan said, and he asked Hermione to come to him.

The two stood crowded at the exit of the secret passage. As before, Ivan cut Hermione's finger with his wand, and a few drops of blood fell into the magma below.

The magma boiled, bubbling like a potion being brewed.

Then with a bang, a pillar of fire rose into the sky.

It rushed towards Ivan and Hermione, and finally collided with Ivan's protective magic.

Accompanied by the roiling heat wave, magma splashed around, and this astonishing column of fire took more than a minute to stop.

Like Ivan, Hermione doesn't have any pure blood in her blood.

Obviously, both of them were of very pure Muggle ancestry, or that kind of blood that Salazar Slytherin didn't like.

After Hermione was Harry, and just like before, Ivan also slit his fingers.

The blood fell, and the magma pool below was still calm. There seemed to be no special reaction, and there was no pillar of fire rising into the sky.

"What's going on here?" Harry asked.

"Well, from the perspective of potion science, it should be that a certain part of your blood has neutralized a certain part of the potion in the crucible." Ivan thought about it and said, "It didn't cause any changes, just like a moderator or accelerator ...that is, your blood does not meet Salazar Slytherin's requirements, but he does not intend to punish you either."

Chapter 1629 Salazar Slytherin's Gift

Harry's blood wasn't the pure blood that Salazar Slytherin liked, but it wasn't what he hated either.

It can be seen from the selection criteria of Slytherin College that Salazar Slytherin hates those Muggle-born wizards extremely, but he can tolerate half-blood wizards, especially the kind of half-blood wizards with ancient wizard blood. Some of these students were given the opportunity to enter that college.

For example, Tom Riddle back then, he was a mixture of Gaunt family blood and Muggle blood, an undoubted mixed blood, and Snape, they were all sorted into Slytherin College by the Sorting Hat back then, and Later, he showed a talent that is very suitable for Slytherin House.

Although Slytherin College values ​​the importance of pure blood, it will also recruit some talented half-blood wizards.

But wizards who are purely Muggle-born, no matter how talented they may be, are not allowed into the house.

Salazar Slytherin's attitude towards the blood of wizards can be more or less seen from the admissions standards of Slytherin College. He does not dislike wizards like Harry, but he will not leave the treasure to him; as for Muggle-born wizards like Ivan and Hermione, in the eyes of Slytherin, exist as a kind of blasphemy and should be completely eliminated.

"Although I was not attacked by magma, I didn't get the treasure either. My blood is not suitable, and I am not a pure blood. My mother is a Muggle." Harry said in a natural tone, "Sirius or Ron should come, the two of them Both are pure-bloods, and both the Blacks and the Weasleys are ancient."

"Poor Ron, I don't know if Sirius has found him." Hermione said worriedly.

"He will be fine. If the Death Eaters catch Ron, there will be news. There is no news now, and when Lestrange and the others knew that Harry and I disappeared, they were very excited, which means They don't know anything, where Ron may be hiding, maybe he has already contacted the Order of the Phoenix, and I will get news about him when I go out." Ivan turned around and said, "Okay, Elaine, what should I do?" is you!"

"No, my blood definitely doesn't match, and I'm afraid of pain." Elaine said, shaking her head all the time.

"It won't hurt, we'll leave here after you try it." Ai Wen said.

He couldn't say much about Elaine's lineage, but it wouldn't hurt to try.

"Blood is very important to vampires. My uncle said that blood should not be shed casually." Elaine still shook her head, "Unless..."

"Ten bloody lollipops, you can't eat too much candy, it's not good for your teeth." Ivan said helplessly, he immediately knew what Elaine was thinking.

"Add three more bottles of dragon's blood mixed with your blood."

"One bottle!"

"Two bottles, no matter what, I don't expect anything from Slytherin's treasure anyway."

"Deal, come here!" Ai Wen said, raising a vampire is really difficult.

Elaine walked up to Ivan and stretched out her chubby little hands.

Ivan's wand slid across Elaine's white fingers, and a wound appeared out of thin air.

Just as she shed a drop of blood, Elaine quickly withdrew her hand and put it in her mouth.

"Enough, enough!" she said vaguely.

Ivan pointed his wand at the blood that stopped in mid-air, and controlled it to fly towards the magma in front.

Soon, that drop of blood disappeared into the billowing magma, as if it merged with the endless red.

For a moment, nothing seemed to happen.

Like Harry, Elaine's blood caused no change.

"Look, I just said it won't work. It's not like you don't know that our family has no blood relationship with Salazar Slytherin, and I'm also of mixed blood." Elaine said with her fingers in her mouth, staring at Calm magma, "You insist on me..."

"There is a reaction!" Ivan said suddenly.

As soon as his voice fell, the magma in front of him suddenly began to change.

Just like a potion that was about to be brewed, the magma below suddenly began to bubble rapidly.

Gulp, gulp, gulp...

This characteristic will only appear when some potions are about to be completed. Generally, at this time, you need to put the wand into the crucible and stir clockwise to calm the potion. Without the need for Aiwen to stir, the lava below began to spin, and the speed gradually increased.

Soon, a light green steam rose from the bottom.

The color of the lava changed, rapidly changing from red to green.

"Success!" Ivan murmured, and he, Harry, Hermione, and Elaine stared blankly at the changes in front of them through the hole.

Elaine's blood is OK, approved by Salazar Slytherin.

When he was casting the spell, he once put the blood of Elaine's ancestors into the molten lava in front of him.

Now, a certain part of Elaine's blood has reacted, and the thousand-year-old treasure door is about to open.Since she is not a direct descendant of Slytherin, the blood is not so pure, but Elaine, who has been recognized, is still entitled to something from Salazar Slytherin.

The medium green color of the lava became more and more intense, and this touch of green was very obvious in the red world.

Aiwen observed carefully, and soon a green pillar of fire rose into the sky again.

But this time, the pillar of fire did not strike like Ivan and Elaine, but spewed upward at a slow speed.

At last, its tip came to rest firmly in front of the narrow opening at the end of the secret passage.

The position of the top of the pillar of fire is consistent with the opening of the hole, exactly corresponding to the open embrace of the relief on the opposite side.

The flame is still a flame, but it seems that there is no temperature, and there is still something floating on the top.

That's a huge slab of stone!

"Look, what's out there?" Elaine called. "Is it Salazar Slytherin's treasure?"
