Elwyn walked to Slytherin's desk. Now, he could clearly see the scepter in front of him.
The dark gold body of the scepter, the patterns on the two giant snakes, and the complex lines carved in ancient magic script on the scepter.
Among the four key items left by Slytherin, only the whereabouts of this scepter were still unknown.
Its importance was needless to say. In those ancient ruins, Elwyn had seen its pattern many times.
The legend of the Double Serpent Wand could be traced back to the ancient god Hermes. He was considered the protector of magic and the inventor of ancient alchemy. His wand, the Double Serpent Wand, also had a clear and mysterious connection with magic.
Therefore, this scepter was considered to be the original magic wand, the prototype of the wizard's weapon.
In addition, Hermes was also the messenger of the gods, the one who connected the mortal world of men and the world where the gods lived. He only needed to wave the scepter in his hand to make the gods and men fall asleep, and he could also wake them up from their dreams.
Here, the Double Snake Scepter was also considered to be the key between the mortal world and the world of the gods.
All in all, there were many legends about this scepter. For example, the story of the ancient prophet Moses and it, and also …
Perhaps, the Double Snake Scepter that appeared in these stories was not the same one, but since they were all the same shape, they would more or less be related.
No matter what, the Double Snake Scepter was an extremely important and powerful magic item.
Elwyn reached out and wanted to pick up the scepter.
But before his right hand could touch the scepter, the eyes of the two giant snakes wrapped around it suddenly opened and stared at him.
Suddenly, a solid sense of oppression hit him in the face. He took a step back.
This feeling was like being hit by a person.
The breath on the Double Snake Scepter formed an invisible air wall between it and Elwyn. Elwyn had to use magic to break through this wall. This more or less woke him up and recovered from the inexplicable attraction of the Double Snake Scepter to him.
This invisible momentum might be the power of the Double Snake Scepter itself, or the magic that Slytherin left here.
No matter what, it was not a rational thing to touch this scepter.
In the previous illusion, Gryffindor had warned Elwyn not to do this.
He glanced at the dark golden scepter again. For safety's sake, he felt that it was best to stay away from it.
His time here was limited, so it was more important to find Ravenclaw instead of studying this mysterious scepter.
At this moment, Ravenclaw should be in the auditorium, announcing the results of her research that would change the history of the magic world.
Elwyn decided to look for her. He left the headmaster's office and went to the main building of the castle.
Just like the previous room, the hallway of the main building was also very quiet. Only the sound of the torches burning could be heard.
Compared to the future, the corridor that appeared in front of Elwyn was much rougher and colder. There were no windows on the walls, only cold black stones. There was no cover, and there were no murals or decorations that he was familiar with. There were only a lot of … how should he put it, decorations that made him look very unpleasant.
For example, a dried troll specimen was placed at the corner of the stairs without any cover.
When Elwyn passed by, he was shocked. This troll was frighteningly large, and its shape was very lifelike. It stared at him fiercely.
It seemed to be alive, because Elwyn felt that he could feel its breath.
He carefully bypassed the troll and walked down the stairs.
Another example was the dim and narrow corridor on the sixth floor. He could see that it was filled with skeletons …
This castle was not at all like the Hogwarts in Elwyn's memory. Instead, it was more like the headquarters of a dark Magus.
The truth was that the Hogwarts had just been established. Before this, this was still a castle passed down from generation to generation by the Slytherin family. Many of the walls and decorations were inlaid with the unique patterns of the Slytherin family.
Although the Slytherin family was not a dark Magus family, it did not mean that they were absolutely righteous Magi.
The overall style of the Middle Ages leaned towards darkness and blood, which was very different from later generations. Other than evil magic that went against the laws of nature, dark magic during this period was not forbidden. Many Magi would study and research it.
Therefore, it was not strange to see such a scene!
Elwyn thought as he walked. During this period, the Hogwarts should have begun to recruit students from the Muggle family. He did not know how many students the four founders had recruited, but it should not be too many.
He walked in the castle for a long time without being discovered, nor did he meet a single student. This showed that there were very few people in the castle.
The education method of a magic school was still a relatively new concept, and it was not accepted by the magic world.
Magi families had their own ways of educating their children. Even if the four founders were very powerful Magi, many people did not trust them.
In fact, if the four founders and their families were not very famous, it would not have been possible for the Hogwarts to be established.
As for the students of the Muggle family, it was also very difficult to recruit them into the school.
It was not like the problem that could be solved by an owl mail. In this era, the Muggle family could not tell the difference between a Magus and a Devil. If they received such a letter, their first reaction would probably be to kill their own children. Otherwise, if others found out, their whole family might be destroyed. This was not a joke.
There would not be such a Muggle family that supported their children to study magic with money.
Even if the professors personally came to their door and told them that their children were Magi, the outcome would probably be the same …
The whole magic world and the world of the Muggle were completely opposed. The propaganda, policies of the ruling class, the traditional concept of pureblood supremacy, and the frequent terrible attacks also intensified this opposition. The Muggle people were very afraid of Magi and hated them to the bone. The magic world, which was dominated by pureblood Magi, treated the Muggle exactly the way Lord Voldemort and his followers spread it. In fact, most of the time, the Magi in this era would go even further. They thought that they were above the Muggle.
In the eyes of some Magi, the Muggle was not even a human, but an intelligent creature like centaurs and fairies …
This was the era that all the Magi who believed in pureblood supremacy hoped to return to, the dark, bloody, and chaotic Middle Ages.
The whole situation only improved after the Magi Secrecy Act was enacted. Since then, with the development of science, the Muggle people gradually forgot the existence of Magi, thinking that they were just a profession made up in legends. Only then did the conflict between them become less intense.
Elwyn thought about the background of this era as he walked down the main staircase.
He always thought that if he returned to the Hogwarts of a thousand years ago, he would meet the four founders like last time.
Then, he would have an open and honest chat with them, especially the doubts in his heart …
