Taking the bait... Sean showed a shocked expression in cooperation. He said in disbelief: "Immortality, how is this possible..."
"Draco, the glory of our pure-blood nobles is unparalleled, and there is only one biggest obstacle that prevents this glory from continuing..." Gormlaith's voice became more seductive, "That is - death...
…When we are no longer afraid of death, when we are no longer troubled by our mortal bodies, the glory of the pure-blooded nobility will always hang at the top of the world…”
If you are not afraid of death, then why are you turning into a ghost? Besides, your Gunter family is too obsessed with immortality... Sean cursed, but he had already guessed what the other party was going to say next.
There are currently two methods of immortality known in the wizarding world, magic stones and horcruxes. Of course, these two methods have drawbacks. The former will turn the user into a decayed body, while the latter will significantly reduce the intelligence.
——In addition, it is hard to say whether the Horcrux can live forever. After all, there is no news about its inventor Hai Erbo.
The method that Gormlaith could propose would most likely be a Horcrux.
Sure enough, the dark witch in front of her paused for a moment and continued: "Draco, have you ever imagined that if your soul could be divided into several pieces and then stored in an indestructible container using a special method,
As long as the container is not destroyed, you will be immortal..."
Sean is somewhat interested in Horcruxes, not because he wants to create such evil things, but because he wants to study the spells. People are always curious.
He showed a longing expression in cooperation and asked a little eagerly: "Me, can I do it too?"
"Of course, of course," Gormlaith said coaxingly, "We are purebloods, and we are staunch partners, aren't we?"
"Then...then I..." Sean looked excited and scared.
Gormlaith seemed extremely generous at this time: "I will tell you a spell. After you help me complete these things, I will tell you the specific steps on how to live forever."
After it is completed, I am afraid it will be to kill people and silence them. How can the Gaunt family tell others about the method of immortality... Sean sneered secretly.
Moreover, Sean does know how to make a Horcrux, which is to murder life. In other words, if Gormlaith really tells him the correct spell, he can make a Horcrux...
However, Gormlaith's words did reveal some information.
That is, she should not have known the Horcrux spell before this. In other words, Salazar Slytherin, who was not fully awake, told her? Or, she directly obtained it in the Chamber of Secrets?
In fact, Sean has always been confused about one thing, that is, Slytherin's purpose of leaving a basilisk behind.
His goal in building the Chamber of Secrets was obvious, to secretly learn dark magic at Hogwarts with his favored pure-blood students, but the existence of the Basilisk was a bit strange.
Although the basilisk is an extremely terrifying and powerful magical animal, it is just a magical animal. If the school's professors find a way to enter the secret room, Sean can fully believe that the professors will successfully attack it.
Kill the basilisk.
According to the rumors in the Chamber of Secrets, the purpose of the Basilisk's stay is to eliminate Muggle wizards who are not qualified to learn magic in Hogwarts Castle. This is not a normal reason.
It's very simple. The Basilisk has existed for almost a thousand years. Over the years, there has only been one recorded death, and the victim, Myrtle, happened to be at the exit of the secret room.
In other words, this was more like an accident than a long-planned murder.
In the thousands of years since Hogwarts was founded, many Parselmouths must have entered the Chamber of Secrets, but the Basilisk has not caused any horrific casualties. Think about it, a Basilisk can only be killed by assassination most of the time.
, using such harsh methods, there are so many non-pure-blood students in Hogwarts, will it take forever to kill them?
Therefore, Sean boldly guessed that the Basilisk was not left behind to eliminate non-pure-blood wizards at all. This was a lie fabricated by the descendants of Slytherin.
So what is the meaning of the basilisk's existence? Gormlaith's appearance gave Sean another idea.
The basilisk is probably guarding something - such as the unawakened Slytherin, some kind of treasure, such as... the manufacturing methods and spells of Horcruxes?
If deduced in this way, it seems to be more reasonable.
Moreover, Sean has always had great doubts about what Gormlaith said. Leaving aside whether Slytherin still exists in this world, Gormlaith's purpose is very strange.
She tried to kill the professors to complete her control of Hogwarts. This order obviously did not come from Slytherin, but more like the cruel witch's own wishful thinking.
She felt that her ancestor would be happy to see this scene, and wanted to give him this 'gift' before he woke up.
Slytherin didn't know it yet, but his descendants often married close relatives to ensure the purity of their blood, which obviously had a bad impact on the IQ and character of his descendants.
A guy with no humanity... Sean looked at Gormlaith in front of him.
The other party is still waiting for his answer.
Sean thought for a while, then nodded hesitantly: "I, maybe I can give it a try, ma'am..."
"Very good, Draco," Gormlaith showed a satisfied expression, "You, your parents, your descendants, and the entire Malfoy family will all be honored because of your correct choice today."
Immediately afterwards, she directly dictated the spell for making a Horcrux to Sean.
As he memorized those complicated and cumbersome spells, Sean looked at his system panel with a strange expression.
Just now, the system reminded me that there is a new spell.
Horcrux making spell Lvmax (black magic, ancient magic)
There is no proficiency display, he directly obtains the spell with the highest proficiency.
Sean nodded thoughtfully. It seemed that the Horcrux spell did not require practice, as long as it could be cast correctly.
However, this also means that Gormlaith did not lie to him with a fake spell...
Was he confident that he, a young wizard, would not think of the steps to make a Horcrux, or was he determined to kill him later?
Sean thinks it's the latter.
Gormlai also warned carefully: "This spell is far from what you can master now. Even the best pure-blood wizard will take several months or even half a year to fully master it. Remember, don't be bold now."
