Attending Hogwarts, Louis made many friends, such as George, Fred, and Galen, who lived in the same dormitory, and they were undoubtedly friends who talked about everything. Watermark Ad Test Watermark Ad Test Watermark Ad Test Watermark Ad Test

But....

It is true that closer friends can talk about everything, but it does not mean that they can ask about everything casually.

For example, asking a friend's family situation without permission in order to satisfy his curiosity is considered to be a cross-line behavior in Louis's eyes, and it gives people a very poor sense.

Therefore, Louis never deliberately inquired about any of his friends' family situation or family history unless they were talking about it.

Of course.

There was something about the history of the Smith family, and Louis estimated that even if he asked Galen, he might not be able to say much about Galen's actual situation.

On the contrary, Silas, who was used by Louis, is really worthy of the castle steward in front of Wayne, and he knows the history of the Smith family in great detail, which can be directly traced back to the period when Smith's ancestors founded the family.

And the reason for Silas' betrayal of the Smith family.....

The same is a historical legacy from that period.

The ancestor who founded the Smith family was named Lucian Smith, who was a sensation with the revival of bloodline, and was extremely obsessed with the study of bloodline, but unfortunately he failed to make any achievements in the study of bloodline in his life, so he had to pin his dream of cultivating the best bloodline on his descendants.

However, as Lucian's life drew to a close, he made a lot of preparations in order to allow future generations to focus on his research dreams.

It's like creating a castle for the Smith family, supplemented by a magic circle to protect the descendants of the bloodline.

It's like....

Collect a variety of experimental materials for bloodline experiments.

These experimental materials were the first servants loyal to the Smith family, and Wayne and Silas' ancestors were part of it.

However, few people know that the servants who followed Lucian also had another identity in addition to the identity of experimental materials.

The name says....

Prisoner!

Lucian, the patriarch of the Smith family, considered himself a principled wizard, and his principles for selecting experimental materials were similar to Louie's, and he never set his sights on innocent people.

However, according to the results of Louis's use of spirit, Lucian was a genuine cautious eye.

Just look at the crimes of the original servants of the Smith family, who Lucian branded as a prisoner, to see how precise Louis's words were.

Thereinto.

Most of the prisoners were accused of offending the great Mr. Smith, either because they had been abusive to Lucian, or because they had said something that made Lucian angry, or because they had just glanced at Lucian in the crowd and disgusted him.

Anyway, it was precisely because of such small mistakes that Lucian would sneak into their house that night, sneer, and say:

"Hmph...."

"I offended the abbot and still want to run?!"

And then.

These men were forced to sign a servile contract with Lucian, dedicating their entire lives not only to the Smith family, but also to all future generations.

That's right.

Where there is oppression, there will inevitably be resistance.

After learning what Lucian had done to collect the experimental materials, Louis clearly felt that Silas's betrayal was excusable, and besides, his ancestors were one of the few special beings among the many prisoners.

Silas's ancestor became a prisoner for persecuting wizards, and once used torches to light dozens of stakes at the stake, burning to death young wizards who had just awakened their magical talents.

Therefore, Lucian wanted to punish Silas's ancestors on the one hand, and on the other hand, in order to complete his bloodline research, he planted an extremely vicious curse on Silas's ancestors.

It's the blood curse of the old magic system!

At the age of three, Silas's mother's blood curse exploded, and in a state of madness, he killed his father with his own hands, and thanks to Galio's father's timely discovery, Silas was not eaten by his mother as food.

After being orphaned under the influence of the Blood Curse, Silas was lucky enough to awaken his magical talent at the age of five, and was valued by Galio's father, who was selected as a servant dedicated to serving Galio, and gradually ascended to the throne of the castle's butler.

It's just that.

It was unclear to everyone, including Galio, how many days and nights Silas had been tortured by the Blood Curse, and had almost become a dehumanized beast like his mother.

Again, no one knew that Silas had planted the seeds of hatred in his heart after his first complete transformation into a beast, and secretly contacted Mir while serving as the castle steward, hoping to get revenge on the Smith family, who had suffered his entire life.

Mir, who went to bewitch Ron, said that he was right to free Silas from the shackles, because he was the mysterious wizard who broke the blood spell for Silas.

To Louie's slight regret....

Silas has nothing to do with Mir's identity in his memory, and he doesn't even know what the shackles that restrict Mir are, so Louis will have to use his spirit on Mir once later, and learn more about the full content of the conspiracy between the two for many years.

Other than that.

It is worth mentioning the resurgence of Silas's blood.

In the long course of history, the probability of extinction of magical creatures is higher than that of ordinary creatures, such as many of the magical creatures that Lucian used for experiments, which Louis could not find in the Hogwarts library.

The bloodline magic mastered by Wayne after the revival of the bloodline is also thanks to Louis looking through Silas's memories, so that he knows that it is derived from an extinct magical creature, barely a close relative of Thestrals, with a strange ability called "soul walking", which can only be seen by rare "destined people" in the state of soul walking.

If Lucian wasn't one of those special destined people, he might not have been able to capture that kind of magical creature.

Silas, who was carrying the blood curse, was able to revive his blood, which must have happened after Mir broke the blood curse with the help of Mir and completely devoured the blood curse beast soul.

The bloodline magic he wields also comes from an extinct magical creature, the ancient legend of the Reaper, who specializes in using magical chains to capture the souls of the dead.

But the legend is recognized with extremely low credibility.

The chains that Silas weaves with magic do not have the ability to capture souls at all, but have the effect of devouring the magic of other wizards.

Moreover, whenever Silas devours part of a wizard's magic with his chains, he can directly use the magic used by that wizard, which is why Silas was able to use Louis to open his magic shield when he used chains to devour part of the three turns of silent magic before.

However, the bloodline magic that Silas inherited from magical creatures seems to be very strong, but in fact there are many drawbacks, and every time he uses it, he has to suffer extremely severe magical backlash.

Therefore, when Louis secretly pondered that there were many commonalities between the two types of magic in the modern and old days, he suddenly had a little bit of it....

The idea of improving the old days, and the idea of bloodline magic!

Followed by.

Retracting his contemplative gaze and projecting it back onto the empty front, Louis asked Wayne with a smile:

"Aunt Wayne, can you tell me more about bloodline magic?"

"I'm interested!"
