Chapter Seventy-Four: The Contract

"I'm not going to approve of you, Mudblood.

Your filthy blood doesn't deserve me—Salazar Slytherin, the greatest of the Big Four, any legacy left behind!"

Salazar gestured straight to Gawain with the index finger of the hand that was not holding the staff.

It put him in a bad mood.

Slatelin's inheritance doesn't matter, even if it is lost, it will not make him feel distressed. What's more, a guy like Salazar, who has a terminally ill level of paranoia of being killed, even if he really takes his inheritance, Gawain is afraid that he will put it aside and not use it.

But Salazar, a baboon who had been dry for a thousand years, made him very unhappy.

"I know that look, is it a desire for revenge, right? Or are you, a teenager, trying to challenge me?"

Salazar slammed his cane to the ground, and the shock wave swept out visibly with the naked eye, throwing Gawain, who was caught off guard, out of the air for several meters.

"Think I'm just an illusion? What will I do after a thousand years? That Riddle kid is much smarter and more sensible than you. ”

With every Slytherin word, Gawain felt like his heart had been hammered.

He looked at Professor Dumbledore, only to find that he had been unable to find his whereabouts for some time.

Or, more precisely.

At some point, he realized that he was no longer "in" the Chamber of Secrets.

What was once a torch-lit passage is now a very empty hall. It looks like the crudest of brick and stone buildings, with no place to display.

– whether it's gleaming metal armor or priceless expensive oil paintings.

In the middle of the hall, Salazar Slytherin sat in a chair with his staff pressed in both hands.

It was a very simple rattan chair that was far from commensurate with his status.

"Unbelievable? Still waiting for that white-robed old thing to make a move? How can you, who was born in the mudblood, understand the majesty of true magic! This is the impression space of me, Salazar Slytherin!"

Salazar laughed wildly, and as he spoke, the hall suddenly began to tremble violently.

Sensen's green liquid seeped out of the surface of the masonry and gradually turned into a giant snake. On the walls that were originally empty, intricate and strange carvings began to appear, which seemed to be some kind of ritual of a religious nature.

"Sacrifice?"

Gawain saw the painting behind Salazar as a kneeling human, and in front of him was a huge stone sculpture carved with a totem.

Beneath the human body, is a rough stone basin.

From the mouth of the heart he held with his hand, blood flowed down and dripped into the stone basin.

"Get down on your knees and offer your soul to me, White. I will forgive your sins and give you strength for it. ”

Salazar's maniacal laughter echoed through the hall, making it even more majestic and terrifying.

"Expulso!"

Gawain responded to him with a blue fire.

It shot out from the tip of its wand, aiming at Salazar Slytherin's heart.

Even Salazar Slytherin himself did not imagine that Gawain would break through the mental pressure he had set up and fight back. Although Gawain had to double his time and felt the discomfort of his forehead burning like a fire, he finally did it.

This was the most powerful spell Gawain could pull so far, and when he tried it in the Forbidden Forest, he was able to break even a trunk as thick as Hagrid's fist (though it was already a little shriveled), and Slytherin was arrogant enough not to cast any protective spells.

"Huh?"

But Salazar responded with an amused nasal voice.

The blue flame struck him in the heart, and from there it struck the smooth wall behind him.

- Didn't even make a wave.

"Of course, that's Slytherin. ”

Gawain clenched his wand bitterly and gritted his teeth, ready to make his first attempt to break through his limits and speed up time to more than 3 times.

The memories that came from his mind told Gawain that it was tantamount to suicide for his current self.

"But something has to be done. ”

Gawain thought regretfully.

He didn't know why he had fallen into such a desperate situation, but it was equally impossible to give his soul and swear surrender.

- So at least bite hard.

But Salazar spoke suddenly.

"For Godric's sake, I'm willing to give you a chance. ”

He stared straight at Gawain.

Staring at the wand in Gawain's hand, Galatin.

"Give me your wand, and I will let you go, and give you knowledge and riches. ”

Salazar's voice trembled.

"Why don't you take it yourself?"

Gawain dismissively refused.

"Hmph! Put away your little thoughts. It already has an owner, and it can only be used by me if the current owner voluntarily contributes it. ”

Slytherin snorted coldly, and before Gawain could react, he suddenly appeared in front of him.

In mid-air, Mori Green turned into lines, and delicate and complex began to write large paragraphs of terms.

Written in Old English, Gawain somehow clearly understood the meaning of each word.

There is no ambiguity.

There is no room for deception.

It is not even possible to hide it even a little.

Soon, all the terms were written.

In mid-air, a piece of parchment appeared out of thin air with glowing green lettering, like tadpoles.

They are written down very neatly, and there are beautiful lines around the paper as a frame.

The medieval era in which Salazar Slytherin lived was the most common and most common contract between nobles.

In the notary column, fill in "Holx".

(Horkos)

"That's satisfying, isn't it?

Salazar looked at Gawain without a hint of good-naturedness, urging him to finish it quickly.

Despite the fact that the environment is not right.

Even though the atmosphere seems very awkward.

But Gawain also had to admit it.

This is indeed a rigorous and detailed contract.

According to the terms, he was entitled to all tangible property left by Slytherin in his name and that of his descendants, including gold, collections, art, land, etc.

Even if his descendants oppose it, the strong binding force from this contract will ensure that his descendants will be able to fulfill this contract in the most direct way.

- or die.

Gawain also had access to Salazar's collection.

They are hidden in a non-existent room in the castle and need to speak the correct code language in order to enter.

It covers everything from Transfiguration, Potions, Charms, Curses, Dark Arts, and even the cutting-edge secrets of the wizarding world.

- Occultism and Alchemy.

A total of 1983 volumes.

Gawain's safety was also secured.

The coercive force of the contract stipulated that Salazar Slytherin should not do any harm to him, and that Gawain would be free from the moment the contract was made.

All he had to pay was to willingly hand over possession of his wand.

And he can never use any direct or indirect means to share any information here with people, animals, magical creatures, ghosts, and all other beings who have subjective consciousness or have the function of recording and conveying.

Whether it is wealth or knowledge as a inheritance.

Or the Chamber of Secrets itself.
