At the same time, in order to remind himself not to be immersed in false memories, Alais even invented a magic spell.
After this spell is cast on himself, it will copy the memories in his mind and float them out every once in a while, and then the memory wisps will automatically float into the crystal bottle for storage. Alais uses this method every once in a while.
Just check your memory and go through the things you have experienced again to ensure that your memory will not be confused.
Sean has nothing to say about this...
Playing with other people's memories may sound very noble, but turning yourself into a psychopath is a bit more costly than it is worth.
However, Alais recorded several magic spells he invented, all related to memory. How to steal other people's memories without being discovered, how to cast a super powerful forgetting spell, and how to compile new memories and transfer them to others.
In the head.
Alais has a lot of experience in this. He completely recorded a complete set of memory manipulation procedures in his notebook, highlighting one word: professional.
However, since he learned Parseltongue and entered the stone chamber, how could he die in this compartment?
Sean obviously didn't find any other dangers except the basilisk.
This notebook should be called an autobiography. In order to remind himself all the time, Alais recorded his life completely.
Sean took a quick look at it. After graduating from Hogwarts, Alais became obsessed with the study of memory. He kept stealing other people's memories. In the process, he had a big problem with his self-understanding.
.
However, he did not choose to stop, but chose to manipulate his memory to avoid problems.
It's like what Alais himself wrote.
"I deeply understand that memory is not just a fragment of thoughts, and those who try to play with it will eventually be counterattacked - but I really can't help it. The pleasure brought by peeking into life can even overwhelm two galleons.
bottle of Fire Breathing Gin and five galleons of Pink Witch of Knockturn Alley.”
This big brother has a lot of fun...
In the notes, Alais mentioned that he stole the memory of a certain Gaunt family member, and he spent a lot of time learning a broken version of Parseltongue by himself (the Gaunt family member in the memory did not explain the specific meaning of Parseltongue)
), and at the same time became interested in Slytherin's treasures in his memory.
"According to the unlucky guy's memory, Slytherin left a treasure in the lounge. What's a bit strange is that his parents warned him not to try to enter there before he was strong enough."
"I think Slytherin may have set up some kind of mechanism to test the descendants. This must be very dangerous, but it also proves how powerful the treasures are. Hehe, maybe Slytherin will leave his own treasure in it.
Where’s the memory!”
"I must go and see it."
Sean lowered his head and glanced at Alais's bones. He came and died...
However, Alais did leave something good for Sean.
He completely recorded the pronunciation methods of Parseltongue in his notebook, and at the same time used snakes to conduct experiments to deduce the specific meanings of various pronunciations.
Sean was amazed. No matter what kind of person Alais was, he was definitely a genius.
Sean tried to learn a few passages, and then he was surprised to find that his proficiency in Parseltongue had increased to 280/10000.
Just like when Gormlaith taught him, his learning progress was extremely fast. Could it be that he really has Slytherin blood in his body?
However, it is not a bad thing to learn Parseltongue. As the saying goes, it is always beneficial to learn more languages, see more of the world, and master a foreign language.
Sean, who had no time to study in detail, put away his notebook and the crystal bottle containing Alais' memory.
Then, he stood in front of the huge box.
This box is made of black wooden boards, the joints are loose, and the board facing Sean is shaky.
Although all his own methods showed that there was no danger, the bones in front of him made Xiao En difficult again.
Should I open it or not...
Just when Sean was hesitating, perhaps the opening of the compartment shook the box, and the already shaky wooden board fell straight down.
Sean jumped back to the corridor with a single stride, and caught the phoenix tail feather in his hand.
Dave and Obscurus didn't send any dangerous signals, and the high-precision sight glass couldn't shine or rotate.
Sean then poked his head out, and was surprised to find an illusory figure appearing on top of the open box.
That's not a ghost, it's like a projection left by some kind of magic.
It was a wizard wearing simple robes. He looked like an old monkey, with a calm and indifferent expression. Even if it was an illusory projection, you could see the shrewdness and pride in his eyes.
Salazar Slytherin, Sean immediately recognized the other person's identity.
He half raised his head and spoke slowly, his voice old and tired.
"My descendant, you finally opened this place. I don't know how many years have passed," it was indeed a projection. Slytherin's eyes were unfocused and he just muttered to himself.
"Godric and the others are hopeless. My old best friends have even forgotten the glory of being a pureblood - I will leave Hogwarts, but before that, I want to leave something behind."
Sean looked at the box. In the opened box was a stone platform with a wide and shallow saucer placed on it, which was exactly the same as the pensieve in the principal's office.
There is a dark blue gem floating next to the pensieve. The gem seems to be flashing by itself. Every time it flashes, it becomes transparent.
"My descendant, I have left you three things," Slytherin's projection said. "First, a gem between the forehead of a long-horned water snake. If you have a wand with a long-horned water snake horn as the core,
If you put this gem into the bottom of your wand, it will give you the ability to become invisible and fly for a short period of time."
"Second, an egg. Of course, maybe after many years, this egg will have become rancid and rotten or even completely weathered. But if you guessed correctly, there should be the bones of a little basilisk inside, and the fangs of the basilisk.
The terrible venom will be preserved, which will become a sharp knife in your hand. If possible, observe the traces of magic on the basilisk bones - don't worry, the eyes of the dead basilisk are no longer lethal. This is for you
The gift is also one of my wishes, which is to thoroughly study the basilisk."
Eggs? But I didn't see them at all, not even the so-called basilisk bones... Wait, Sean looked to the other side stiffly.
The basilisk that almost killed Sean was flicking its tail in boredom, and the front half of its body submerged in the water seemed to be shaking. Sean could even hear some dull sounds of water.
Could this guy be hatched from the basilisk egg left by Slytherin?
In "Research and Communication on the Habits of Basilisks", Slytherin mentioned that he once wanted the Basilisks to reproduce naturally, but in the end he only got an egg that could not hatch...
Slytherin left that egg behind, and that egg hatched on its own over the long years?!
The projection is still talking.
"Third, I left you a memory, which contains my own demonstration of the spell and a secret about Hogwarts Castle."
"My descendant, inherit my will, become the purest Slytherin, let me see your shrewdness and ambition, and promote the glory of pure blood."
"Gryffindor's bravery, Ravenclaw's wisdom, Hufflepuff's fearlessness of hardships, absorbing and utilizing the qualities of other houses, we incorporate all the necessary conditions for success, even if it means using any means..."
Live the Creed of Salazar Slytherin.”
The old projection paused for a moment, and then shouted in a deep voice: "Victory is supreme!"
After shouting these words, Slytherin's illusory figure gradually disappeared.
Sean's thoughts were all on the Basilisk.
This basilisk, which is different from the same kind, was not born from a toad's egg hatched by a rooster, but was born from the eggs of natural reproduction?
In other words, Slytherin did not foresee the existence of this basilisk?!
That makes sense, Gormlaith didn't mention that there would be danger here at all, because Slytherin didn't know there was a basilisk here!
That hole was normal. It was probably built by Slytherin for another basilisk, but that guy was already lying on the school playground.
That's not right... Sean frowned, so what's going on with these three bones?
If they all had the same experience as Sean, and they would have died without the body protection of Arrogance, then the bones should be in the stone chamber. It is impossible for the basilisk to move there because it was afraid that their bodies would catch cold.
Bar……
That means that there is a big problem with that pensieve, and anyone who enters it may be killed.
Although I have never heard that the Pensieve can kill people, even Dumbledore dared not claim to fully understand the secrets of the wizarding world. Various bizarre phenomena emerged in endlessly, and no one could explain them clearly.
The memory of Slytherin is naturally very tempting, but Sean decided not to take the risk. Who knows what is inside.
However, at this moment, a translucent figure suddenly appeared next to Sean.
That was a pale ghost, that was Gormlaith Gaunt!
Oops! I've been comatose for too long, the magic of the void gaze has expired, and Gormlaith's frozen soul has returned to normal!
And a ring cast with the Traceless Expansion Charm obviously cannot trap a ghost.
Isn’t it said that ghosts can only move in the places where they were alive? How can Gormlaith Gaunt still exist here?
Before he had time to think about the problem, Sean reacted immediately. He took out his wand and cast Void Gaze again.
However, Gormlai obviously reacted. She didn't know where this was, but it didn't stop her from discovering the basilisk nearby!
"Hiss—" she hissed.
Before Sean could continue to freeze her, the basilisk, which had shrunk half of its body outside, quickly retracted at a speed that was completely inappropriate for its size!
