Kings of Three Races
Skylar had already understood the true purpose of the Snake Eyes technique passed down by Slytherin.
It's not just about influencing or paralyzing someone's mental state, nor is it simply about stealing someone's memories—those are the kinds of uses it can be. Skylar now has the full capacity to reconstruct Sarf's memories, or erase them all, or reverse their order, returning her mind to the state of a newborn infant.
Even more terrifying is that Skylar could conjure up false memories at will and implant them into her mental world. If Skylar set her in her memories as Skylar lover, she would fall hopelessly and madly in love with Skylar; if Skylar set her in the image of a snake, she would actually believe she was a snake, and then crawl, eat, and live like a snake.
This is an existing model capable of altering all life, easily turning enemies into the most loyal servants.
[Slytherin- exclusive secret technique - "****" learned!]
Skylar's heart pounded violently. Suddenly mastering this powerful technique filled him with an intense sense of unease. At the same time, he couldn't help but wonder what had happened to Slytherin himself after he left Hogwarts. Why was his whereabouts never mentioned in wizarding history?
A person with such abilities is either a benevolent ruler or a great leader; how could they possibly remain unknown?
For a thousand years, no one in the Gaunt family had ever been known to possess such a divine skill. Otherwise, Armand II would not have been able to trample the Gaunt family underfoot and act with impunity and arrogance during his reign.
Something must have happened to Slytherin himself, and it must have been something urgent and sudden, leaving him no time to pass on his legacy to his direct descendants. He could only hastily set up the legacy here, leaving behind the Snakewood Wand and the locket. He probably didn't expect that the Gaunt family would later split up, thus losing the opportunity to inherit the legacy.
Drawing lessons from Armand II's fate, Skylar made a bold conjecture—
Slytherin likely encountered a formidable foe, one significantly stronger than even the Four Founders, which completely eroded his confidence in his ability to return victorious. Therefore, he simply left behind his wand and legacy for future generations. The fact that he didn't even bring a wand to the final wizarding battle suggests one possibility—
Hagrid is not the Pure-blood wizard he always pretends to be. In fact, he is not even a Pure-blood. His mother is the Giant Fridwulfa, whose whereabouts are currently unknown.
For some reason, it was as if Skylar had received the legacy of Slytherin and thus formed a mysterious connection with Slytherin that transcended time and space. At that moment, beads of cold sweat suddenly appeared on his forehead and slid down his face.
What kind of powerful enemy could completely destroy Slytherin's will to fight, making them willing to sacrifice their lives?
If that formidable enemy hadn't perished, and I had inherited Slytherin's legacy, would I also have been drawn into this fate and karma from a thousand years ago?
It's all over...
It seems that's really the case...
Having inherited Merlin's legacy, he knew Merlin had said he would inevitably inherit that cause and effect, that destiny—and it turned out to be true. Morgan le Fay, the dark witch from a thousand years ago, hadn't been resurrected earlier, hadn't been resurrected later, but had chosen this very moment...
Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff, one died young and the other was kind and gentle, so they shouldn't leave their heirs with potential enemies or other loose ends.
But somehow I forgot how much trouble Gryffindor and Slytherin were! One was said to frequently challenge people to duels, even if the opponent was Muggle; the other, who left simply because of ideological differences, still left behind a huge statue in the castle displaying his monkey-like appearance, and kept a five-star dangerous Basilisk.
The thought that he might inexplicably gain a powerful enemy made Skylar anything but happy. He couldn't help but sigh and rub his forehead, "Who did I offend? Why does fate always play such tricks on me?"
While Skylar was wallowing in self-pity, Sarf also snapped out of her daze. She seemed unaware of what had just happened, but when facing Skylar, her heart was inevitably filled with a strange feeling—a feeling that included infatuation and awe, as if Skylar had become the master of her life and her destined nemesis.
She asked softly, "What's wrong, Master?"
Knowing he hadn't yet mastered the new ability of the Snake Eyes, Skylar quickly closed his eyes, avoiding any further eye contact with Sarf Dobby.
"I'm fine," Skylar said, still squinting, conjuring a comfortable, soft leather chair for himself with his wand before slowly sitting down. "Let me rest for a bit. In the meantime, you two should search the area one more time to make sure we haven't missed anything."
Skylar frowned. "Honestly, I feel that Slytherin's legacy isn't complete enough. For example, the legendary magic is completely missing. Where did it go?"
Skylar planned to let Dobby and Sarf explore on their own, while he sat there with his eyes closed to rest until his eyeballs were completely cooled and he could no longer feel any heat, before setting off back to Hogwarts. In the meantime, he could also sort out all the cards he held in his hand.
Although Skylar felt he had been tricked quite a bit during his journey to Ireland to pursue his heritage, he must admit that the gains he made were also enormous.
Skylar gained the power to intimidate all magical snakes and all elves. This wasn't Peter Pettigrew's that could get mice to help him; it was a true and supreme power to rule over these two groups. In other words, Skylar became their king in a sense, and Sprite, regardless of their species, had no choice but to obey him and submit to him.
During the reign of the Mysterious Man, they perpetrated some of the most brutal Muggle massacres. Many Giant who served the Mysterious Man died at the hands of Auror fighting against the Dark Lords, but Fridwulfa was not among them. She likely escaped to a Giant village that still exists in the mountains abroad. However, if we analyze her Care of Magical Creatures, Fridwulfa's son seems to have inherited his mother's cruel nature. Hagrid is said to have formed a close friendship with a boy, and it was this boy who caused the Mysterious Man to lose power.
As for Sprite, they should not be underestimated. Sprite are born with extremely powerful magical abilities, but most of them are peace-loving and playful, and their magic tends to be more focused on hobbies such as food, weaving, and tidying. However, this does not mean that they do not have offensive magic in their heritage.
On the first day of school, Hagrid was absent from Harry's Care of Magical Creatures, and was temporarily replaced by Professor Grubbly-Plank, an elderly witch with short, gray hair and a very prominent chin. It was then that Harry learned that Hagrid was Half-Giant, a fact discovered by Rita Skeeter, a reporter for the Daily Prophet, and included in her report.
Of course, Skylar hadn't forgotten that he also possessed considerable power over dragons. He had a rudimentary understanding of the Ancient Dragon Language, but rarely used it due to its mental strain. However—
Because his Patronus is the resurrection of Ancient Divine Dragon cub, he inevitably bears the aura of the Ancient Divine Dragon. This aura is enough to make all the Fire Dragon, Winged Dragon, Qilin Dragon, Snake King Dragon, Feathered Serpent, and Demon Flood Dragon behave like obedient children in front of him, completely daring not to act recklessly.
As long as he maintains a proper balance and doesn't go too far, it could be said that Skylar could be considered the ruler of all dragons in the wizarding world.
In his previous life, Skylar had read many fanfictions where the protagonist tamed Fire Dragon as pets, which sounded incredibly impressive. But how could a dragon knight possibly compare to the King of Dragons?
This time, it's finally Skylar's turn to hold his head high among all the previous transmigrators, right?
