Chapter 204: Pureblood History and Forgotten Loot (Subscription, Collection, Recommendation)

Hermione seemed to think of something because of the gift, and looked at Ryan with wide eyes and disbelief. Ryan nodded solemnly.

"You might guess it's true, our acceptance of this gift should actually be a lot like the beginning of those pure-blood ancestors gaining extraordinary powers and becoming pure-blood wizards. If explained by the scientific method, it is a directed genetic variation. ”

Speaking of which, Ryan remembered what Slytherin had left in his chamber about human body modification, and after a pause, he continued: "Of course, not all pure-blood families have obtained this power by signing a contract with powerful beings, and some powerful wizards have also kept their power in their own bloodlines through their research, and passed it on from generation to generation. ”

"With this power of bloodline, the ancestors of these pure-blood wizard families have gained an unprecedented advantage. After all, at that time, the wizards' application of magic power was also in a period of exploration, and relying on the power of bloodline inheritance could ensure that the entire family would not be cut off for various reasons. ”

"When they establish an advantage, they naturally get more resources, and the more resources they have, the greater their advantage. In this virtuous circle, the family's power also snowballed, and finally formed the pure-blood family that rules the British wizarding world today. They are called pure-bloods because in the early years they had to resort to consanguineous marriages in order to retain the power in their bloodline. ”

"However, with the passage of time, even the power in the bloodline of consanguineous marriage will gradually fade, and your parents are dentists, so you should know that such consanguineous marriage is very harmful. As a result, a large number of pure-blood families had to choose to intermarry with other pure-blood or even hemp wizards, but because they had accumulated enough advantages before, even if the power in the bloodline completely disappeared, it did not jeopardize their dominance.

Naturally, there are also stubborn families, but they have slowly disappeared into the long river of history. So much so that now I know that there are only two families left who can inherit the power of their ancestors in the bloodline. ”

"Wait, the legend says that the mysterious man is a natural parseltongue, so maybe their family is one of the families that inherits the power in their bloodline. Hermione listened to Ryan's explanation and asked his question.

"You're right, I was digging through old newspapers in the school library and found out that the Gaunt family was descended from Slytherin, but from the newspapers of a hundred years ago, that family was known for its irritability, mental problems, and profligacy caused by inbred marriage, until 50 years ago the family disappeared completely, and the last member was imprisoned in Azkaban for killing Muggles, and finally died there. The other is the ancestral phoenix of our Headmaster Dumbledley's family, and fortunately, their family has a long-term contract with the immortals, so they don't need to marry close relatives like the Gaunt family. ”

"I see. Hermione nodded, then picked up her teacup and began to drink her tea quietly. And it was only then that Ryan thought that in addition to these two drops of blood, he had also gotten something from the pyramid as trophies. It's just that he has been a little busy since he arrived in this world, so he has been ignoring the existence of this trophy.

Hermione was taking a sip of hot tea when she heard a bang. She followed the prestige to see Ryan remove a dirty fur pouch from his belt and place it on the table.

"What is this?" asked Hermione, fanning the dust with her left hand.

"The loot after killing the Blood God in the temple last time, I was so busy before that I even forgot about it, and I only remembered it as soon as you said it. Let me see what's inside?"

It was the time to open the box, and Ryan rubbed his hands together and prayed before opening his pocket. What surprised him was that although this pocket was a space bag, the space inside was very small, at most it could be larger than an ordinary school bag.

"Why is there so little space?" Ryan complained with some dissatisfaction.

"You must know that the space equipment that can be carried with you was very rare a thousand years ago, and it was popular at that time to use some creatures with natural space power as space bags, such as the one in front of us, which is obviously used to peel off the skin of some animal and shrink it into the size of a palm by special means. Hermione said as she put the teacup on the saucer.

Sure enough, Ryan took a closer look and found the animal's limbs and tail from the bag, and the animal's mouth was made into an opening in the bag.

"How do you know about this situation. ”

"Obviously, this is what was taught in class, so it shows that you didn't listen carefully to Professor Binns's class at all. He specifically mentions this when he talks about the wizarding world thousands of years ago. Hermione spoke quickly.

"I don't blame me for that. Ryan shrugged. "I can't really think of anyone other than you who could have listened to an entire lecture in Professor Binns's class. ”

After saying that, Ryan took out a small arm-length plain gold box and several medicine bottles made of natural crystals from his bag, through which he could see some black things piled up at the bottom of the bottles.

"It's supposed to be the blood of some magical creature, but it's a pity that it's been all broken for too long. Ryan looked at a few bottles, uncorked them, sniffed them, and set them aside. Then he took the gold box.

There was only one buckle on the top of the gold box, and Ryan took the gold box to the middle of the living room and opened it with his magic.

As soon as the lid of the box was opened, a dead scorpion fell out.

"This is a very rare rune golden scorpion, highly poisonous. It should be the little pet of the blood god, but unfortunately the blood god died as soon as he died. Ryan explained back to Hermione that the dead scorpion had quickly weathered into a pile of ashes as he spoke.

Ryan returned to the table with the box, which contained a silver dagger, and the lid of the box was engraved with a lot of text. After reading it for a while, I realized that it was actually a letter, which described how he was injured in the process of seizing the Blood Source Stone. And this box contained the weapon that had wounded him, and he swore that one day he would stab it back in his master's body.

"It seems that his Bloodstone was found in Europe back then, as this dagger is clearly European style. After pouring the dagger out, Ryan said as he looked at the silver dagger encrusted with rubies.

"I think we found a good thing. Hermione picked up the dagger and looked at it carefully, then said with some excitement.

"Oh, when did you learn antique appraisal?" asked Ryan, somewhat curious. Because from this dagger, he can only be sure that it is in the European medieval style, and it may have been made by a goblin, and he can't tell anything else. So he was curious how Hermione had identified hermione.

"Well, isn't that clear?" Hermione pointed to the gauntlet of the dagger, and Ryan realized that there was a string of letters engraved on it.

"I'm still a little careless. Ryan took the dagger and looked at the letters, and was surprised to find that the words engraved on the dagger's gauntlet were a very familiar name: Godric?? Gryffindor.
