Hogwarts Bloodline

Chapter 20 Origin of Bloodline

Ivan held his magic wand and walked through the sea of ​​books. He had no intention of staying in the ordinary area and went straight to the forbidden area. "Guide to Advanced Transfiguration", "Ancient Magic Runes", "Lemnemy - Peeping into Your Brain" Ivan's eyes swept across the rows of bookshelves. A large number of banned books with high-end names made Ivan envious. There were even books related to Lemnemy and brain occlumency that he had always longed for. If possible, Ivan would like to use hundreds of academic experience cards to read here for ten days or half a month, and then his strength would rise rapidly. But in the end, Ivan resisted the temptation, because he didn't have so many academic points to exchange, and he didn't forget what he came here for today. Following the sign number in the forbidden area, Ivan quickly found the twelfth column of the seventh row of bookshelves, but there seemed to be no difference here. A large number of magic books were neatly placed, filling the bookshelf without a single gap. Ivan tried to find some secret passage or something, but he didn't find anything. Instead, he accidentally knocked a book of black magic to the ground. The book turned automatically without wind, as if it had its own consciousness. After turning a few pages, black fog poured out from the pages. A man's head was faintly seen with his mouth wide open, as if he was screaming loudly! What frightened Ivan was that he didn't hear any sound, but his eardrums began to swell, and his brain gradually became dizzy, as if someone was really shouting in front of him. The black fog gathered more and more, and the head seemed to rush out of the book for a while. Snap~ Ivan slammed the book shut and flattened the black head on the pages. As the book was closed, the black fog disappeared. "It's just a book, are you making a fuss?" Ivan rubbed his ears and said with gritted teeth. It took Ivan a long time to dare to pick it up. The cover of the book said "Advanced Black Magic Decryption". The feel of the cover was obviously different from other books, a bit like touching skin. Could it be human skin? A thought flashed through Ivan's mind, and Ivan suddenly felt a little nauseous. Thinking of the pain in the man's head just now, this was really possible. Ivan took a look at the reward task in the system, and there was no change at all, which meant that it had nothing to do with the reward, so he really accidentally knocked it down. Ivan had to put "Advanced Black Magic Decryption" back in frustration. He was about to look for the missing mechanism again, but suddenly he suddenly realized that the bookshelf in front of him seemed to be a little different from before. One, two, three, four, five, six? Every bookshelf in the forbidden book area is exactly the same. Books are divided by type, with six rows and seven columns in each row, but Ivan keenly noticed that the cabinet on the twelfth column of the bookshelf was obviously missing a cabinet. What made Ivan feel a little awkward was that although there was a cabinet missing, the entire bookshelf was still neat and tidy, as if the space here was distorted. "Did someone use a Confusion Charm here? And hide one of the cabinets." Ivan narrowed his eyes. He had carefully checked this bookshelf many times just now. It could only be that someone had set up a Confusion Charm here, which affected his judgment, and then happened to break the Confusion Charm because of the scream just now. Even if he knew where the abnormality was, Ivan was still a little at a loss. Having read "Detailed Explanation of the Principles of Basic Spells", he could probably judge that this was a spell to hide items, but he knew too few magics and none of them could be used. Ivan had to use his brain to try to recall the books he had read, and accidentally remembered a magic that Snape had used in the original book. "Aareciu (Quickly Reveal)!" Ivan tried to put his wand against the bookshelf and whispered the spell of the Revealing Charm. The entire bookshelf began to shake slightly. A crack appeared in the middle of the twelfth bookshelf. After a moment, it suddenly expanded and a new bookcase appeared in front of Ivan. The hidden bookcase looked no different from the others. They were all filled with thick books. Ivan stretched out his hand and swept over these books one by one. When he touched the last one, the system prompt sounded as expected. [Ding, the reward has been issued.] Ivan's mouth twitched, but he was already complaining madly in his heart. Is this how the reward is issued? If it weren't for his good luck and his wit, God knows how long it would take to find it! This broken system is not considerate at all! Ivan couldn't help but feel sad when he thought about other people's considerate systems that have everything they want. As a host, he really has a hard time. Although thinking so, Ivan still excitedly pulled the book out of the bookshelf. The cover of the book was slightly rough, with a few words printed on it: "Bloodline Origin". The pages were slightly yellowed. As a magic book that can be preserved for a long time, it can be seen that it is very old. Ivan found that this was another magic book that was not mentioned in the original book. Since this was a reward given by the system, Ivan flipped through it directly. After reading a few pages, Ivan was a little disappointed to find that "Blood Origin" was not a magic book that recorded powerful spells as he imagined. Instead, it was a bit like a history book, recording the history before the Wizard War. At that time, wizards did not dominate the entire magic world like they do now, and they could even enslave house elves, magical creatures that have extremely strong spellcasting abilities when they grow up. On the contrary, compared to these magical creatures that are born with powerful powers, human wizards are really weak and can only rely on the advantage of numbers to occupy a place in the magic world. Fortunately, humans have always been creatures that refuse to admit defeat. Some wizards choose to specialize in magic and create more powerful spells to improve their strength. Others focus on some quick methods, such as seizing the power of those powerful magical creatures! Some wizards have achieved success and their strength has been amazingly improved. What is even more terrifying is that the power of this bloodline can continue, allowing the descendants of these wizards to gain power as well. Although the power of blood may be gradually weakened due to iterations, this discovery is enough to drive more wizards crazy! However, the risk of blood fusion is extremely high. Except for a few successful ones, most wizards died miserably in the process of experiment and fusion. Some lucky losers survived by chance, but as a price, they were deformed into monsters and cursed for generations, such as werewolves and vampires. There are even wizards who choose to breed more powerful and more suitable magical creatures to conduct blood fusion experiments to enhance their own power. This made Ivan think of the basilisk sleeping in the secret room and the eight-eyed giant spider in the forbidden forest. The most crazy thing is that some wizards try to establish super-friendly relationships with magical creatures that are not so unacceptable in appearance, in the hope that their offspring can continue each other's bloodline.
