As the mouse wheel turned, Slytherin's message in the Chamber of Secrets appeared in front of Ryan's eyes. Unlike Ryan's imagination of leaving a full chapter of magical knowledge to future generations, Slytherin only introduced his own thoughts and ideas at the beginning.
Reasons for leaving Hogwarts.
Judging from these self-narrative texts, Slytherin is not the dark wizard that Ryan imagined before. Because he declared from the beginning that his principle of dealing with others is to do no harm to others and do whatever he wants. It is obvious that a powerful wizard like Slytherin cannot
Disdain and lying, so this principle should be true.
So what is the reason that makes people in later generations think that Slytherin is a dark wizard? Ryan continued to read down with doubts in his heart.
Sure enough, the next paragraph describes the reason why Slytherin left Hogwarts, because there were irreparable differences in the teaching line between him and the other three founders from the beginning of the school.
When they founded Hogwarts, Europe was in the dark Middle Ages. War and strife dominated Europe at that time. The wizarding world was also filled with dark wizards. After all, in this environment of the weak and the strong, black magic that can quickly increase strength is more important.
Popular with wizards.
When the four wizards founded Hogwarts School, they wanted to pass on the magical knowledge accumulated by their struggle with dark wizards to the next generation. In this way, they could slowly reverse the current situation of the proliferation of dark wizards and recast order.
After all, when dark wizards dominate, a long-term war will break out, which will eventually destroy everything in the magical world.
In this case, Slytherin put forward the suggestion of recruiting only pure-blood wizard descendants. Because Muggle-born wizards are likely to be influenced by their relatives (because their relatives are not as capable of self-protection as wizards), they made a decision
Something that hurts the Hogwarts school.
Not to mention that there were huge differences between Muggles and wizards in many places at that time. For example, at that time, many wizard apprentices of Muggle origin could not even read and write, and the learning of magic was based on a large amount of knowledge. At the same time, there was a lack of sufficient resources.
Hex wizards are more likely to take the path of dark wizards who prey on others.
From an absolutely calm point of view, Slytherin pointed out why resources should not be concentrated on those young wizards from reliable wizarding families. In this way, the most efficient use of resources can be achieved, and limited resources can be used to cultivate as many wizards as possible.
Excellent wizards. (Due to underdeveloped productivity in that era, it was much more difficult to obtain resources than in modern times. For example, many medicinal herbs can be grown now, but in those days they could only enter dangerous magical forests to collect them.)
However, this view was refuted by the other three founders. They believed that Slytherin's view can indeed maximize the use of resources, but it lacks the human side.
This was also the first time that the four founders of the school had a disagreement, and Slytherin chose to give in. He did not interfere with the choices of the other three wizards, but only implemented this idea in his own college.
Later, something happened that suddenly widened the differences. In the early days of Hogwarts, there was not as much magical protection as it does now. Because the school gathered a lot of resources, it also attracted the prying eyes of dark wizards.
Once, Hogwarts was raided by dark wizards. Unfortunately, some Slytherin students were killed in the attack, and Slytherin himself killed these dark wizards in anger.
The act of killing the dark wizard did not arouse any objection from the other three founders. The righteous Gryffindor only said that they needed to be tried before they could be dealt with. After all, it was a dark age, and even the kindest and most kind-hearted Gryffindor could not deal with them.
Killed from dark wizards, werewolves, and vampires.
But since then, Slytherin has begun to teach dark magic to his students, because he believes that if students want to truly defeat the dark wizard, they must understand the dark wizard's methods.
This is also the reason why later generations think that Slytherin is a dark wizard: he taught dark magic at Hogwarts, and those who listened to his lessons agreed that his research on dark magic was very profound. This has been passed down for thousands of years.
, it became a popular saying that Slytherin was a dark wizard.
Naturally, this approach aroused opposition from the other three founders. Because when the school was founded, they vowed to build a magic school that had never existed before, a place that taught magic that could truly compete with black magic.
And now Slytherin's approach makes them worried because the students are young and lack experience. In this case, they are likely to go astray under Slytherin's teachings.
But Slytherin believes that every student is a preliminary warrior ready to fight against dark wizards. Therefore, they need to know clearly what the enemy looks like from the beginning. This way they can have enough ability to change the world after graduation.
Because the two sides had been arguing about this matter for a long time, Slytherin felt that if he continued to stay in the school, it would probably cause the school to split.
Out of love for the school, he chose to leave the school and spend the rest of his life hunting dark wizards and removing thorns in the school's future.
Different from the legend, Slytherin fully communicated with the other three founders before leaving the school. It was just to ensure the safety of Slytherin and avoid alerting the dark wizards. The other three founders of the school had the same message
It's just that Slytherin ran away because of a quarrel.
Later, due to the killing of dark wizards, the rumor that Slytherin was a worse dark wizard than the dark wizard was widely circulated in the wizarding world. The final rumor created the reputation of Slytherin as a dark wizard to this day.
This secret room was the last thing Slytherin did for the school before leaving the school. In his vision, as time goes by, the magical world will continue to progress. His descendants will pick up his vision of the year.
Make it a reality and benefit the entire magical world.
The basilisk was only used by Slytherin as a temporary guard. At that time, Herbo had just cultivated the basilisk. The basilisk at Hogwarts was a trophy obtained by Slytherin when he killed a dark wizard.
He originally planned that this basilisk would be used as one of the school's trump cards to help Hogwarts survive the most difficult and weakest years of its founding. But he never thought it could live for more than a thousand years.
After reading these introductions, Ryan couldn't help but sigh. A thousand years can make a great wizard who has devoted his life to school and dreams turn into an evil dark wizard through word of mouth. Students in the academy named after him
They, and even his descendants, worship black magic and are proud to be dark wizards.
If Slytherin, whose lifelong goal is to eliminate dark wizards, knew this, he would be so angry that he would come back from the underworld to deal with these disciples...
