Chapter 211: Human and Staff Combined Into One

Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets.

In the dim chamber, a pattern of a five-pointed star and a six-pointed star was drawn on the ground in the center, with a cross as the center. This is a special alchemy array for making wands. It was the unique secret of Ravenclaw back then, and it belongs to a different school from the wand-making art of the Ollivander family.

Although Ravenclaw's wand-making heritage is far less famous than the Ollivander family, it does not mean that the former is worse than the latter. When Rowena Ravenclaw invented this wand-making art, she was actually inspired by the four founders who jointly founded the four colleges of Hogwarts.

As we all know, the establishment of the four colleges is actually supported by magic theory. This is why no one dared to change this simple, crude and criticized way of sorting in the thousand years since the school was founded, not even the greatest and most philanthropic Dumbledore.

In Great Britain, the elite Muggle schools do have a house system, but the purpose of this house system is very clear, which is to encourage students to learn to compete and cooperate, to help them experience a miniature society, and to accumulate the social experience and social skills they need before entering society. Their house system is random, so that people with different cultural backgrounds, different literary and artistic abilities, different personalities and genders can learn how to get along, how to cooperate, and finally integrate together.

Hogwarts, on the other hand, directly sorts students according to the four personality traits of courage, wisdom, integrity, and ambition, and this is not the students' own choice, but is determined by an ancient sorting hat whose operating principle is unknown. No matter how dissatisfied the students are, they cannot violate the instructions of the sorting hat.

As a result, students will be labeled with their personalities on the day they enter school at the age of 11, and they will be burdened with expectations that should not be expected at this age. For example, Neville must do his best to draw courage to meet the expectations of other Gryffindors; and Snape will be obsessed with black magic, and eventually become strangers to Lily Evans, which is also influenced by the atmosphere of the Snake House.

That's fine, but what's more serious is that this way of classifying students by their colleges has also caused discrimination and prejudice.

In the original book, Ron and Hermione mentioned their yearning for Gryffindor more than once, and their contempt for Slytherin. What's even more outrageous is Hagrid, who actually said openly that "no wizard who later became bad did not come from Slytherin", a serious prejudice, and he said it to Harry, who was in contact with the wizarding world for the first time. Harry's prejudice against Slytherin began to be planted at that time.

In Hogwarts, many people think that Slytherin students are self-righteous and discriminate against students from other colleges, but on the other hand, don't the other three colleges also discriminate against the "evil" Slytherin?

So this way of sorting not only creates discrimination, but also extends to division and hatred.

For centuries, Slytherin and Gryffindor have been fighting endlessly, and Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw appear to be neutral and do not help each other, but in fact they always lean towards Gryffindor. There is no way around it. Who asked Slytherin to produce Voldemort and Gryffindor to produce Dumbledore?

Even Dumbledore himself once said to Snape, "I sometimes think our sorting is too hasty." In his previous life, Schelling was puzzled. Since Dumbledore, as the headmaster, had long seen the drawbacks of the sorting system, why didn't he propose reforms? As the greatest and most prestigious white wizard of the contemporary era, if he led the reform, the resistance would definitely be the smallest.

(Note: The original English text of Dumbledore's words is I sometimes think we Sort too soon, which means that the sorting was too early, leaving students with no time to develop their personalities freely. The above text is from the People's Publishing House.)

However, in this life, Schelling finally understood the reason for the sorting system. The so-called four major colleges actually correspond to the four elements in the theory of the four elements of magic - Slytherin corresponds to the "water element", Gryffindor corresponds to the "fire element", Ravenclaw corresponds to the "wind element", and Hufflepuff corresponds to the "earth element".

This is similar to the "Five Elements Theory" and "Feng Shui Theory" studied by Eastern wizards.

For a long time, Hogwarts has relied on the fusion and interweaving of the four elements to maintain the operation of the entire castle. In other words, to a certain extent, the sorting system is the basis for the smooth and unimpeded operation of the magic magnetic field within the scope of Hogwarts. This is why no one dares to reform the sorting system.

Ravenclaw's wand making secret is actually a ritual that gives a piece of wood a unique magical attribute based on the combination of the four elements.

This alone cannot be worse than the Ollivander family's technology that relies on engraving alchemical patterns on wood and wand cores. However, the disadvantage of Ravenclaw's method is obvious, that is, wizards of the four elements must gather together to make a wand, which is far inferior to Ollivander in terms of versatility and convenience.

At this moment, there are four people in the secret room - Sherin, Bathory, Annis, and Sharf. At this moment, they are divided into four corners, standing at the end of the cross. The four people hold something in their hands, which is the material to be sacrificed in the ceremony. All of them were collected from various legal and illegal channels by Sherin through Ali Bashir, Sister Gulana, and the German smuggler Nicholas.

Thinking back to the days a few years ago when he just wanted to make a magic potion and had to collect the raw materials himself, Xie Ling couldn't help but feel a strong sense of satisfaction with his current network of resources. Now, he can easily get the raw materials and materials he wants to his eyes with just a word.

Whether it is the Malfoy family, the Black family, the Greengrass family, or the Ravenclaw library, there are some books on wandmaking, which collect the knowledge passed down by these families. In terms of knowledge alone, Xie Ling may not be as good as Ollivander, but it is definitely enough to despise most people in the field of wandmaking. What Xie Ling lacks is actually just an opportunity to practice.

In the past period of time, because Xie Ling specifically explained it in advance, Sharfu also immersed herself in this knowledge.

After the deduction of Sharfu and Xie Ling, today is the day when Mercury is in the sky, and snake wood belongs to Mercury in the herbal medicine sequence, so today the magic conductivity of snake wood will be enhanced by the stars and become more acute.

The basilisk horn has also been specially treated - soaked in the blood of the rooster, the natural enemy of the basilisk for seven days and seven nights. After drying in the shade, the basilisk horn should be displayed outdoors on a cloudless night, illuminated by as many stars as possible. The classics believe that this may increase the communication of the wand with magic in various fields.

Xielin placed the basilisk horn in the center of the cross, opened his mouth, and made a hissing sound.

Among the four people here, only Sharfu could understand the snake language. Xielin said, "Wake up! The king of all snakes!"

The basilisk horn burst into a strong and dazzling green light.

Sherin took a step forward, threw the knocked-out horned water snake in his hand forward, and said aloud: "I sacrifice the descendants of Cernunnos in the name of a pure-blood, and call for the great power of water to come!"

The horned serpent is a magical animal in North America. It can speak human language, is shrewd and cunning, and is actually a descendant of Cernunnos in the Celtic mythology of the Muggle world. This god represents the nobility of pure blood, which corresponds to the "water element" characteristics behind Slytherin.

The horned serpent landed in front of the basilisk horn, let out a scream, and then its body turned into a pool of blue energy like liquid, which was absorbed by the basilisk horn.

Bathory was the second to make a move. She threw the three-headed Runespoor that was knocked unconscious in her hand forward, and then opened her mouth and spit out a thick liquid similar to green blood. The liquid poured on the Runespoor, and the three heads screamed in succession. The Runespoor turned into a green smoke and was slowly absorbed by the basilisk horn.

Runespoor is a magical animal in Burkina Faso, Africa. It is brave and aggressive. The three heads often fight with each other in a fit of anger, completely forgetting that they share a body. The death of one head means the death of all three heads, which corresponds to the "fire element" trait behind Gryffindor. Vampires actually have a trait called "ghost fire" in their blood, which is the most suitable material for refining fire elements.

The next one to make a move is the female demon Anis Black. She laughed twice, threw a chicken-headed dragon-bodied monster in her hand to the center of the ceremony, and made a strange gesture with both hands. A slender dark blue nail broke off her finger and turned into a blue light and shot into the monster's body.

The monster was actually Cockatrice, a close relative of the basilisk. Its gaze could kill or petrify, and the breath it exhaled was highly toxic. It was paranoid and tyrannical. When it encountered an enemy who violated its dignity, it would chase the enemy to the ends of the earth, and even die with the enemy. It corresponds to the "earth element" of Hufflepuff. (Unexpectedly, diligence, persistence, and extreme concentration are actually paranoia)

All female Yashas have lived in the underground caves without sunlight for many years. Their bodies contain strong earth elements, so Anis's nails are just the right materials for refining earth elements.

Sharfu's face was very solemn. She walked slowly to the center of the ceremony and picked up the basilisk horn on the ground very carefully in her palm.

"Aquila!" Xielin shouted coldly, and an eagle-shaped phantom appeared, emitting a long scream. Aquila's body glowed with colorful brilliance. It flapped its wings vigorously, and two wing feathers turned into invisible wind arrows and shot into the basilisk horn.

"Sharfu, now!" Xielin gave the last instruction.

Sharfu opened her mouth and made bursts of hissing sounds of varying lengths. She was not casting a spell, but communicating with the basilisk horn to establish a special connection between the wizard and the wand core -

What is the magic wand choosing the wizard? There may be a reason for letting the magic wand choose the wizard. The wand core has emotions and will guidance. The magic wands made with different wand cores are destined to match wizards with different personalities and minds. But is this really the only truth in the wand making world?

Once the method of refining the wand core used by Xielin at this moment is successful, an unbreakable bond will be directly established between the wizard and the wand core, and the degree of fit between the wizard and the magic wand will far exceed any combination currently known.

[The compatibility between "Basilisk Horn" and "Sharfu" is Max! ]

At the same time, Xie Lin murmured an ancient and long spell in a low voice, and the low murmur echoed in the secret room. The snake wood automatically floated into the air, slowly moved into Sulf's palm, and then began to melt, slowly. Slowly wrap the basilisk horn, invisible to the naked eye, golden filaments interspersed in the wood. This is actually the intelligence of the basilisk horn growing and spreading in the staff like the nerves of the human body, until the core of the staff and The stick bodies merged together flawlessly.

Sulf held a brand new wand, and a ring of thunder and lightning radiated from her body in all directions.

A snake head the size of a fingernail protruded slightly from the holding part of the wand, and two red snake eyes shone with a biting luster.

Sulf closed her eyes, and her long black hair automatically fluttered in the opposite direction without any wind. The aura on her body grew rapidly, and a huge snake-shaped shadow loomed behind her.

At this moment, everyone present felt it——

The breaths of the Sulf and the wand have blended together indistinguishably, and it is no longer possible to tell which one is the Sulf and which is the wand by their breath——

"Is this the union of man and wand?" Bathory, who was well-informed, quickly recognized this phenomenon. "It's incredible that even in my time, a wand can make wizards and wands resonate to such an extent. The technique is already a legend, and no one has ever seen such a scene... Oh my god, Xie Lin, what are you..."

Bathory didn't know what to say. She had lived for centuries and had never seen any kind of genius. But in her opinion, Xuelin's talent of being proficient in almost everything was beyond the reach of genius. Category, enough to be called a monster.

The wand is the wizard's second life and the wizard's most valuable partner. The compatibility between the wand and the wizard is the most crucial factor in choosing a wand, and it is a recognized fact in the hearts of all wizards.

But no matter what the current wand makers do, it is impossible to make a wand that perfectly matches the wizard from limited materials. At most, the fit is relatively high.

The magic wand held in Sulf's hand obviously resonated mysteriously with her, reaching the legendary state of "human and wand becoming one".

"Am I right?" Anis said hesitantly, "Her magic level has broken through just like this?"

Xie Lin nodded and said calmly: "Yes, the wand itself has magic power, reaching the state of 'human and wand unity', which means that the magic power in the wand is connected with Sulf's magic pool. From now on, she and the staff can share each other's magic power, so it is not surprising that there is a breakthrough in magic power. "Salph's magic power has already reached the level of a quasi-Auror, and after some impact, she officially became an Auror. level of magic.

"Awesome!" Bathory looked at Xie Lin with a half-smile, "Brother Xie Lin, you have such great skills, when will you get a wand for Sister Eliza?" Anis on the side heard this. When he spoke, he immediately cheered up and listened attentively.

Pure-blood vampires and hags, like house elves and goblins, are restricted by the laws of the Ministry of Magic and are not allowed to hold wands (half-bloods are allowed, so Flitwick and Fleur have wands), which causes them to cast spells. You can only rely on your natural instincts to roughly activate and use magic, but you cannot use magic with ease, thus affecting the display of your true strength.

Therefore, Bathory and Anis could not openly purchase wands from normal channels, and the second-hand wands purchased from the black market were of varying quality, and sometimes even showed master-resistant properties, making them worse to use than nothing. Casting spells with the wand is easy and convenient.

"Don't worry," Xie Lin's mouth curved slightly, his eyes sparkling, "I will never treat my followers badly. As long as you never betray the covenant between us, I promise that there will be someone who can make it public for you. A day with a wand.”
