Chapter 104 Nicolas Flamel's Speculations

Most of the content in Nicolas Flamel's letter is also the analysis and comparison of these mythological prototypes. Every detail has been carefully studied, which can be regarded as a rigorous academic paper.

The integration of Lilith in various myths almost all retains her two major characteristics: one, using black magic to harm humans; two, having an unusual relationship with snakes.

Although Muggle myths contain a lot of slander and exaggeration, the integrated characteristics are likely to be related to reality.

Looking for this feature in real wizards, there is only one matching family in Europe - Slytherin, which is also the family of one of the founders of Hogwarts.

The biggest feature of Salazar Slytherin is also the snake: the first recorded Parseltongue in history, his wand is made of snakewood, the core of the wand is the horn of the basilisk, his college is symbolized by the snake, and the secret room he built houses a basilisk that has been sleeping for a thousand years, etc.

In the entire European magic world, there are also a few families whose symbols are snakes, but only the descendants of Slytherin are so fond of snakes and know Parseltongue. If this still cannot prove that Slytherin is a descendant of the Lilith family, then the only far-fetched reason is the powerful magic.

Chen Bin has basically believed Nicolas Flamel's speculation, because he also knows that the Socket Nose of the Gaunt family is a descendant of Slytherin, and Socket Nose not only raises snakes, but also turns into a snake man after resurrection.

This can explain why Parseltongue is a natural magic that cannot be learned after birth. This is basically the ancient secret art of Lilith's lineage.

Chen Bin even boldly speculated that the stronger the affinity of the descendants with excessive blood deterioration with snakes, the purer the Lilith blood in their bodies will be, otherwise Socket Nose will not be resurrected into the appearance of a snake man.

Among the three ancient families, only the Nama family still has the original surname. The other two families are likely to let the blood of their descendants become mixed and impure to dilute the madness in the blood.

Nicolas Flamel is probably a descendant of the Isis family. In his generation, his bloodline has experienced incomplete atavism, awakening some characteristics of his ancient ancestors. For example, his magic power far beyond this era has prolonged his lifespan, and he can also infuse his wife with eternal youth, but he has not yet reached the boundless magic power of the ancient times.

Even his alchemy talent is probably related to this bloodline, but the atavism of the bloodline is not necessarily inherited by the next generation, so that his children only have mediocre talents and short lives.

Then what about Voldemort? Parseltongue is probably just the most mediocre and low-level talent. For example, his mother and Harry also know Parseltongue, but their strength is not necessarily much stronger than others. Before Voldemort was made to disappear by Harry's mother's love spell, the only difference between him and ordinary people was that he knew how to raise snakes and make Horcruxes, and he was also very talented to make seven Horcruxes and not die.

Only two people in history have successfully made Horcruxes. One is "Herpo the Foul", the founder of taming basilisks and the method of making Horcruxes, and the other is Voldemort.

Needless to say, Herpo the Foul may have awakened part of Lilith's bloodline, and his talent in taming basilisks and creating this heaven-defying black magic is evidence.

Most importantly, it took Voldemort only fifty years to challenge the strongest white wizard in modern history, and Old Dumbledore was nearly a hundred years old at the time! He may not have surpassed Old Dumbledore in all aspects of magic attainments, but he surpassed Old Dumbledore in the strength of magic and attainments in black magic.

Chen Bin guessed that the reason why Old Dumbledore was so happy today was that he discovered the secret of Voldemort's power. They are indeed good friends who love and hate each other - when Old Dumbledore dies, Socket Nose will cheer and applaud; when Socket Nose's secrets that he himself doesn't know are discovered by Old Dumbledore, Old Dumbledore will be so happy that he will hum a tune.

That is to say, Voldemort's incomplete atavism allowed him to inherit his ancestors' talent for black magic and magic power far beyond this era. It's just unknown who has stronger magic power, him or Nicolas Flamel?

The stronger Voldemort's magic power is, the faster he recovers his magic power, and the stronger his magic power output is. In terms of hardware alone (magic power, recovery and output), he has surpassed the strongest wizard of this era, Old Dumbledore. What about software (skills)?

Lilith is the legendary ancestor of black magic, and was regarded as a patron saint by many witches during the witch hunting period. No wonder Voldemort can divide his soul into seven pieces, because black magic is as proficient to him as his own invention, and he can also create new black magic.

That is to say, it is very likely that no one in this era can surpass him in black magic skills.

"No, since he has such powerful magic power, does he still need to focus on the longevity secret of the Nama family?" Chen Bin played with the silver necklace in his hand.

Old Deng shook his head and corrected him, "You should say that if he knew that he could live longer by accumulating magic power, would he still target your secret of longevity?"

"What do you mean?" Chen Bin couldn't hear the main point of what he said, and was immediately retorted by Old Deng.

"Does the Tenfold Purifying Heart Spell have the effect of reducing intelligence? He doesn't know that he can live longer by accumulating magic power, so he targets the family that has achieved successful results. Am I not clear enough?"

Chen Bin was not angry, because he knew that this silver necklace was also consuming Old Deng's connections.

"Wait, I seem to have overlooked something very important." He thought for two seconds in a funny way, then hit his thigh and said in surprise: "Trelawney's prophecy-the dark devil will rise again with the help of servants, and will be more powerful and terrifying than ever before. Mom, I want to go back to China, this battle can't go on."

After he finished speaking, he covered his ears as if to say "I don't listen" and walked out of Old Deng's principal's office.

Looking at Chen Bin's back as he left, Old Deng murmured, "It seems that the Heart Purification Mantra really has a dementia effect."

Chen Bin pretended to be crazy and finally escaped back to the dormitory, and no longer had to face the smiling Old Deng. After taking a shower, he lay on the bed and studied the silver necklace.

This necklace has been absorbing the wearer's dissipated magic power as a source of energy, and detecting whether this magic power carries strong emotions, thereby releasing extreme emotional level prompts to the wearer's mind, and accompanied by self-selected virtual images.

Nicolas Flamel believes that Chen Bin's bloodline is manic with reason, so the necklace reminds him of his current situation and the consequences of mania, allowing reason to weigh the consequences of abusing power.

Chen Bin had tested it before. He adjusted the Tenfold Purifying Mantra to the lowest tolerance inherited from his ancestors, which was to extinguish the signs of extreme emotions, which was exactly the first level of emotion of the necklace. He raised the tolerance of the Tenfold Purifying Mantra to the highest level, exposing the gap in the blood connection while imagining that he was being cheated, which was exactly the third level of emotion.

He set the virtual images caused by the first and second level emotions to represent sunflowers representing safety, and the virtual images of levels three to five were either Catalina being injured by him or his entire family being killed by him.

Although this setting was a bit tricky, these images could indeed temporarily awaken his calm emotions. Even if the tolerance of the Purifying Mantra could be lowered after the blood connection collapsed, Chen Bin was afraid that once he was immersed in mania and delusion, he would never want to lower his tolerance again.

Mania is just a destructive impulse, and the delusion it produces is the key to his unwillingness to lower his tolerance, because delusional patients do not want to be restrained.

However, Nicolas Flamel's necklace just had the effect of warning him not to indulge in mania.

Therefore, before subduing his manic emotions, Chen Bin did not dare to use the blood power that exceeded his control ability. He knew that destroying his own blood curse connection would surely destroy Voldemort, but he might also become the new demon king.

If Harry also failed, he could only return to China to continue exporting equipment. Anyway, France also established an anti-German base in Britain during World War II. This was already worthy of the promise made to Old Deng.

However, what Chen Bin was most worried about was whether the monk world could withstand Voldemort's invasion?

Thinking about it, Chen Bin gradually fell asleep.
