Chapter 1695 Open
The magma tumbled, and the blazing heat scorched everything around it red, giving it a bright red.
Evan scrutinized the pattern on the vault door, which was the same on both the Slytherin locket and wand.
It's not a simple pattern, it's not a magic rune, it's a text made up of Parseltongue!
Parseltongue, as the name suggests, is to speak and communicate with snakes in the language of snakes, which is a very rare talent that only a few snake whisperers can use, this language sounds like a bunch of sizzling exhalations, while snake whisperers sound like their usual language.
The most famous Parseltongue in the history of magic is Salazar Slytherin, who was also the first wizard to be definitively confirmed to be able to use the Parseltongue.
Before him, there were many legends of wizards who could talk to snakes, but none of them were confirmed, and there was not enough evidence that they could use the Parseltongue, and the reason why they could talk to snakes was probably because they used magic similar to the Imperius Charm to control snakes or use magic to read their minds.
Because of this, many wizards believe that the Parseltongue originated from Salazar Slytherin.
In fact, almost all of the Parseltongue that proved to be in the wake of Salazar Slytherin is the descendant of the great wizard.
They were more or less related to him, so it's not an exaggeration to say that the Parseltongue is a unique Slytherin talent.
Therefore, it is not surprising to see Parseltongue on the door of the Slytherin family's vault.
As far as Aven knew, the Parseltongue didn't originate from Salazar Slytherin, nor was it as simple as communicating with snakes as many people believe.
It is a special language of magic, just like the ancient magic script.
Not long ago, when he went to Azkaban with Dumbledore and Harry to destroy the brains of the evil gods, Evan had seen the magic used in the Parseltongue cavity, and the same lines appeared on the Book of Abraham as the door of the vault in front of him, which was the text composed of the Parseltongue cavity.
Those words eventually constituted a spell, the magic that controlled the staff of the two serpents.
Spells must be cast with the Parseltongue, and only magic recited in the Parseltongue can be understood by the two snakes on top of the Twin Snake Staff, which once belonged to Salazar Slytherin, but was not made by Tarrin, and the scepter has an even older history, dating back to the last wizarding era.
It can be inferred from this that the Parseltongue is a magical language from the Ancient Age of Magic.
Like the other ancient scripts, but even older, they are contemporaneous with the Book of Abraham and the Two Serpent Staffs.
This scripture itself has a special magical power, and even if it is no longer known due to time, it can be passed down through the power of bloodline, and the Slytherin family has this bloodline, they are the descendants of a powerful ancient warlock who can use the Parseltongue cavity to control the twin snake staffs.
In fact, those illustrious pure-blood wizard families can almost all be traced back to the ancestors of a powerful ancient warlock.
Salazar Slytherin is precisely because of the power of bloodline magic, he can use the Parseltongue to drive the double snake staff, and he can easily defeat the despicable Helmo at a young age, not to mention that this famous dark wizard himself is the last ancient warlock, after becoming an evil god, his strength has increased exponentially, ordinary wizards are no opponent at all, only those who have also mastered the mysteries of powerful magic in ancient times can defeat him. So Salazar Slytherin's insistence on maintaining the purity of his bloodline is understandable, as only such a wizard can pass on the magical power of his bloodline......
And only wizards who have inherited the magic of the bloodline can use that powerful magic.
Defeat evil in times of need, or become evil itself.
Either way, in Salazar Slytherin's opinion, it was probably better to keep the power of pure-blood inheritance bloodline magic than to let it die......
Evan didn't have such an ancient and illustrious ancestor, nor did he have a gift for blood.
He doesn't know Parseltongue, and he can't read words written in Parseltongue.
But Harry could, because of the fragments of Voldemort's soul in his body, he could use the Parseltongue and read the words.
Now, this kind of writing appears on the door of the vault in front of you, is it necessary to use the Parseltongue cavity?
"No, the goblins can't open this door, we don't have the key......"
"We have!" Aven said quickly, pulling out the Slytherin locket and showing it to Hermione, Harry, and Elaine, "The shape of the locket is exactly the same as the groove on the door, I think it should be put in it, and, do you see the patterns on it?"
"It's exactly the same as the pattern on the door!" Hermione said, looking closely.
"That's right, this locket and this door are one and the same, it's the key to open the door to the vault. Evan said excitedly, licking his shriveled lips, "And that's not all, if my inference is correct, it's actually an ancient demonic script, a text composed of Parseltongue accents." ”
"You said the lines on it were Parseltongues!" Harry looked at Evan in surprise, then quickly turned his head to look at the vault door.
He stared at the patterns for a few seconds, trying to imagine the curved lines as a snake.
Soon, Harry found that the motley patterns in front of him had become a kind of text that he could understand, and he didn't know what the words meant, but he knew them, just like he had read the magic spell in the Book of Abraham that day.
"Harry, can you read what is written on it?" asked Hermione.
"I ...... Yes!" said Harry, the words on the door now striking to him with a familiar feeling.
"Elaine, take out your Slytherin wand, which, along with the locket, is the key to open this door. Evan said, placing the locket in the recess in the door, and the locket was fully embedded in it, reconnecting the broken words, "Harry, read the words in the Parseltongue, it's the spell that opens the vault. ”
Elaine took the white wand out of her hand, and since she had settled the family's troubles, Karesis had given it to her for safekeeping.
Although she always carries it with her, Elaine doesn't normally use the wand, preferring to use her own.
She placed her wand in the groove below and rolled it down.
There was a crunch click, and the wand was fully inserted.
It seemed to be an activated switch, and as the wand was placed in the groove, a dark golden glow lit up from the center of the Slytherin locket, quickly spreading along the lines to the sides. Soon, the entire vault door was glowing with a faint golden light.
Harff chanted the magic on the vault door in a parseltongue voice, and with an eerie hissing sound, the space began to vibrate again.
The dragon, which had calmed down, flew frantically again, and with it the lava around it.
Like a volcano about to erupt, magma boils and bubbles, and seems ready to erupt at any moment......
