The blood that falls will be verified, and the pure-blooded will obtain the treasure.
Salazar Slytherin left this final test in front of his vault. It was a test that could not be passed by wizards without a pure-blooded bloodline.
Unlike courage, perseverance and wisdom, bloodlines were innate and could not be changed later on.
Salazar Slytherin did not just say it, he really put it into action.
He would not leave anything for non-pure-blooded wizards. Even if you spent a lot of effort to find the key left behind by Slytherin and entered his vault, if you were not his descendant or a wizard with a pure-blooded bloodline, then you would not be able to obtain Slytherin's treasure.
Salazar Slytherin used the theory of pure-blooded to the extreme.
The lava pool in front of Elwyn and the others was an unparalleled magic. It could verify the blood of the people who came here to determine if their bloodline met Salazar Slytherin's requirements. Elwyn did not know what magic Slytherin used. It sounded inconceivable, but perhaps it was the knowledge of Potioneering.
In other words, the lava in front of them was actually a specially processed potion.
Thinking further, the underground of Gringotts was actually a huge potion crucible …
This magic was undoubtedly shocking, but for a wizard of Slytherin's level, this was not something impossible.
Everyone knew that Salazar Slytherin was an expert in Potioneering. In the history of magic, many Potioneering Masters also graduated from Slytherin Academy. It seemed that in the branch, Slytherin's students had a certain characteristic that was very suitable to develop in Potioneering. But Elwyn did not expect Salazar Slytherin to be this good.
He was using nature to brew potions, using heaven and earth as the potion crucible, boiling lava into potions.
This kind of super difficult magic was simply inconceivable. It was even more shocking than when Gryffindor borrowed the power of the stars.
"What the hell is going on?" Harry asked again.
"Harry, the magic that Slytherin left behind is to test the bloodline of the wizards who come here, to see if their bloodline meets his requirements." Hermione said as she observed the lava in front of her from behind Elwyn. "In other words, we have to drip our blood into the lava. If we meet Slytherin's requirements, then we might get the treasure he left in this vault. If we don't meet Slytherin's requirements, then we'll be attacked by the lava like Elwyn just now …"
"The lava can verify the blood?" Harry said in surprise. He turned his head in disbelief. "How did he do it?"
"No one knows. I guess it may be a kind of magic potion. Slytherin fused the blood of the wizard bloodline he wanted in advance. If the blood of the latecomer is the same as the blood that was fused in advance, then the latecomer will get the treasure. It's like a special lock." Elwyn said. "I don't know which wizard family Slytherin wanted the pure bloodline, but our blood may not meet the requirements."
"Hmph, pure bloodline. Malfoy's bloodline will definitely meet the requirements," Harry said disdainfully.
"In other words, we can't get anything?" Elaine asked.
"That should be the case. Salazar Slytherin didn't leave anything in this vault for us." Elwyn sighed. "Of course, there's another way to get his treasure. We don't need to verify the blood. We just need to destroy the lock and force our way in."
But this was impossible. Elwyn could use the remaining energy of the cyclops to detonate the lava again, but the treasure hidden inside might be destroyed. Moreover, this was not the empty sea. Once the lava erupted, Diagon Alley outside would also be destroyed. This would undoubtedly be a disaster.
By then, Elwyn would be recorded in the history of magic in another way. The evil dark wizard who destroyed Diagon Alley and half of London …
"Can we force our way in?"
"Impossible." Elwyn shook his head.
"Then why are we still standing here? Let's get out of this godforsaken place," Elaine said decisively.
She was not interested in the treasure left behind by Slytherin, even though the things left behind by Slytherin should belong to her in name.
"Wait, don't be in such a hurry to leave. You three haven't tried it yet," Elwyn said, hurriedly stopping Elaine who was about to leave.
"But you just said that our blood doesn't meet the requirements."
"It's like this. The four of us are not pure-blooded, but there are no real pure-blooded wizards now." Ewen said, "A thousand years have passed, and every wizard's bloodline has become very mixed. Putting this aside, from a purely Potioneering point of view, any material can cause a change in a Potioneering. Our blood is a material, and perhaps a portion of it will satisfy Salazar Slythrin's request, making him give us a portion of his treasure. This is something that cannot be said for certain."
Just from the perspective of Potionology, it was not impossible for Elwyn and the other three to have it.
Especially Harry and Elaine, their ancestors were already wizards a thousand years ago.
Both of them should have some pure-blooded blood in them. It all depended on whether they could meet Slytherin's requirements.
"I want Potionology!" Elaine muttered.
"Alright, you three try it. Hermione, you go first, then Harry and Elaine," Elwyn said. He let Hermione come to his side.
The two stood at the exit of the secret passage. Just like before, Elwyn used his wand to cut Hermione's finger open. A few drops of blood fell into the magma below.
The magma boiled, bubbling like a potion being brewed.
Then, with a boom, a pillar of fire shot up into the sky.
It rushed towards Elwyn and Hermione, and finally collided with Elwyn's protective magic.
Accompanied by rolling waves of heat, the magma splashed in all directions. This astonishing pillar of fire shot out for more than a minute before stopping.
Just like Elwyn, Hermione's blood was not pure.
Obviously, both of their ancestors were very pure Muggle, or the kind of bloodline that Salazar Slytherin looked down upon.
After Hermione, Harry was next. Just like before, Elwyn also cut his finger open.
The blood fell, but the magma pool below was still calm. There seemed to be no special reaction, and there was no pillar of fire shooting up into the sky.
"What's going on?" Harry asked.
