"It's very simple. I'll read out the meaningless letters for you. If they're snake-like, then you should be able to understand them." Elwyn pointed at the ancient, curved words on the stone and said, "When the time comes, you can translate them."
"I'll try." Harry nodded.
"Get ready, I'm going to start." Elwyn fumbled with the words on the stone, trying hard to spell out the disjointed letters. His mouth made a strange sound.
It sounded like a low, hoarse hiss, similar to a snake-like voice.
He read a paragraph. Harry, Ron, and Hermione were all stunned.
They looked confused. They didn't know what Elwyn was saying. These words didn't seem to make any sense.
"Do you understand?" Hermione asked uncertainly.
"No." Harry replied dejectedly. "I don't understand what Elwyn is saying at all. I don't feel anything. I can't be sure if it's a snake-like voice or not."
"Don't be anxious. Let's take it slow. Maybe I can help you find the feeling."
Elwyn knew that Harry didn't have a true snake-like innate talent. He couldn't use Snake Language as he pleased. It was only the soul fragment of Lord Voldemort that was attached to his body that was working.
If he didn't see a real snake, he might not be able to understand a snake-like voice.
Harry needed a little inspiration. Elwyn used his wand to lightly touch the sky-blue ceramic cup next to him. The cup immediately began to distort and transform into a deep blue python. There were exquisite patterns on its body. It looked very beautiful.
As his magic power increased, Elwyn's mastery of the Transfiguration Spell also increased.
If it was before, even if he could transform the teacup into a snake, it definitely wouldn't be this easy. The snake's body wouldn't have such exquisite patterns.
The blue python lazily slid towards Harry. The two of them stared at each other. Elwyn, Ron, and Hermione nervously stared at them from the side.
The scene was so bizarre that if Madam Pomfrey had walked in a moment, she would have screamed.
Although Elwyn's body had recovered, Dumbledore insisted that he stay in the school's hospital until the magic on the locket was completely absorbed.
Due to his unstable condition, Madam Pomfrey did not allow anyone to visit Elwyn. He was bored out of his mind.
Elwyn begged Madam Pomfrey for a long time before she reluctantly agreed to let Harry, Ron and Hermione in, provided that they did not do anything strange or troublesome.
Although the situation in front of him was not dangerous, it was undoubtedly very strange.
If she saw them, she would definitely chase Harry, Ron, and Hermione out.
Harry held his breath and stared into the light blue eyes of the python. He shook his head slightly and entered a wonderful feeling.
"Hiss, retreat," he said softly.
Hearing Harry's order, the blue python hesitated for a moment before it started to retreat.
"Very well, keep it like this, let's try again."
Seeing that Harry had succeeded, Elwyn quickly read the words on the stone.
His mouth made a low and strange hissing sound again. He read very slowly, pausing for every word, and after each word, Harry would repeat it.
In the room, Elwyn and Harry were making strange hissing sounds at each other.
Ron and Hermione watched them from the side. Ron's face was red, and he looked like he wanted to laugh.
Hermione pushed him, but she was not much better herself. The scene in front of her was too interesting.
"Hiss, hiss, hiss …" Elwyn said.
Harry frowned and said slowly, "In the name of Salazar Slytherin …"
"Success!" Ron and Hermione looked at each other and shouted happily.
Seeing that Harry could understand the words on the stone, all four of them were excited. The message left by Salazar Slytherin a thousand years ago would be deciphered. It could be an ancient secret, or a powerful magic, or …
In short, anything was possible. This was definitely a major discovery that would shock the entire world of magic.
"Hurry up and continue reading, Elwyn," Ron said excitedly. "What did Slytherin do in his name? Did he mention a way to quickly increase his strength?"
"I don't think he would mention this. This is not a magic book. These stones should be historical records, recording the reason why Slytherin built the huge underground ruins. "Hermione analyzed seriously." I must have seen it in the school history of Hogwarts. "
"I want to know why he left that monster in the school," Harry said. "And what is that eyeball monster?"
"Everything is possible, everything is possible," Elwyn repeated. He was also very excited. "Get ready, Harry. I'm going to continue reading."
Harry, Ron, and Hermione quickly focused, their little faces full of anticipation. Hermione even found a piece of parchment to record.
"In the name of Salazar Slytherin, I seal it here, immutable," Harry said slowly.
Hermione was right. The stone that Elwyn brought out recorded in detail the reason why Slytherin built the underground ruins.
They deciphered the words on the stone bit by bit. They knew that Salazar found the monster in the ruins of an ancient temple in ancient Greece.
This monster did not originally exist in this world, but was a magic creation of a dark wizard. It was found in the deepest secret chamber of the ruins by Salazar. When his wizard companions were busy looking for powerful magic items and magic books, he secretly took the monster out.
A few months later, he brought it and the results of that expedition back to England. He brought it back to his father's castle, which was now Hogwarts.
Behind everyone's back, he built a space deep underground to study the monster.
Salazar believed that by studying this mysterious monster, he would learn the secrets of life and the soul, escape death, and become an immortal being.
Because the ancient temple where the monster was found had historically worshiped one of the most powerful and influential dark wizards in the history of magic. He was considered the last ancient sorcerer and the first dark wizard in the history of magic. His many research results laid the foundation of the development of black magic and still played an important role.
He invented and created many evil curses and dark creatures, the most notorious of which was the study of necromancy and the soul.
Through studying the monster's body structure and the magic books brought from the temple, Salazar found that the monster could indeed escape death, but at the same time, it had to pay a considerable price. Unless he was really crazy, he would never do that.
Compared to this kind of immortality, death might be more enjoyable, because while escaping death, the soul would be cursed.
In addition, as the research went deeper, Salazar also discovered an even more shocking secret, which was to be continued.
