Parseltongue Magic

After Skylar used magic to store the six large stone tablets and Sarf into his Suitcase Space, he was about to leave when he glanced at Gallup, who was lying on the ground groaning weakly, and a serious expression appeared on his face.

At this moment, Gallup underwent a change that Skylar had never anticipated. Frankly, even if Gallup had died on the spot, it wouldn't have surprised Skylar so much.

Gallup transformed into a complete wolf, roughly the same size as Silver Fang, three times the size of a typical Europe gray wolf. However, his fur was far inferior to Silver Fang's. Silver Fang's fur was a uniform, glossy silver-white that Winky in the sunlight; Gallup's fur, on the other hand, was a mottled mix of gray and brown, and his wolf hairs appeared somewhat "stiff," resembling fine bristles rather than fur.

Skylar cast a healing spell on Gallup, waking him up.

Since inheriting the Hufflepuff's "Source of Life" and "Creation Regeneration" mysteries, Skylar's healing magic has advanced to higher levels without deliberate practice or training. Even a basic healing spell in his hands is almost enough to bring flesh back to life from withered bones and revive dead trees. This is perhaps because his magic is active and intelligent; as his magic grows, it learns to absorb and integrate immense life force from his body, imbuing his magic with powerful vitality and regenerative abilities.

When Gallup awoke, Skylar found him completely transformed into a beast. Not only did it no longer speak human language, but it could only howl like a wolf. It was extremely weak, yet it still managed to crawl to Skylar's feet, gently rubbing its nose against Skylar boots, its eyes filled with a kind of awe, submission, and obedience towards its master. With Skylar's mental prowess, he was certain it wasn't acting; it genuinely didn't remember anything from its past. In its weakened state, it was simply instinctively seeking a strong master to protect it.

Since things had changed, and Skylar wasn't a petty person, he didn't intend to pursue past grievances any further. He bent down and gently stroked the fur on the wolf's neck, causing the gray wolf to whimper contentedly.

"Judging from your reaction," Skylar said, staring into its eyes, "You are clearly intelligent and can understand what I'm saying, right?" The gray wolf nodded, seemingly understanding.

"Very well, since you're willing to acknowledge me as your master," Skylar said, "from this day forward, you will be my second pet, and I will bestow upon you your true name—"

"Since you're a wolf pet, let's call you 'Beowulf'!"

(Note: The Old English spelling of Beowulf was Beado-wulf, which means "war wolf" and is derived from the Icelandic Old English word Böeúlfr.)

[You've obtained the "Pet" Beowulf!]

Life back at Hogwarts was just as dull and boring as before.

Normally, there are three Quidditch Match in March and April, which take up a lot of the young wizards' attention. But this year, because of the Triwizard Tournament, there is no Quidditch, so all the young wizards have to spend most of their time studying.

Since returning from Ireland, Skylar has only shown up during class and meal times. The rest of the time, he has retreated into his Suitcase Space, using the Time-Turner to gain an extra four hours each day to study the contents of the Slatlin Heritage Stone with Sarf.

Sometimes, when Sarf was tired, Skylar would send her to the Chamber of Secrets to practice sparring with Daphne, Morrie, Susan, Cho Chang, Luna, and Astoria.

Although Sarf now has her own wand and has established a bond of "man and wand as one," she still needs time to get used to the feel and coordination of casting spells.

At the same time, since her rebirth, she has been able to spend her time studying Magical Theory because she has no wand. So doing so can also help her regain her intuition and nerve reflexes in actual combat to adapt to this reshaped body, as well as practice her spellcasting skills, especially the spellcasting techniques that Skylar has improved countless times.

On the other hand, although her spellcasting skills were still somewhat immature and her physical reactions were not yet quick enough, her profound magical knowledge and Auror- level magical power level allowed her to barely defeat the combined forces of the six girls after a fierce battle. Sarf was the perfect person to serve as a practical training partner for the girls.

Therefore, it wasn't just Sarf who benefited. All six girls also made significant progress through frequent practical training, especially Cho Chang, Luna, and Astoria.

Daphne and Morrie had received considerable intensive training and guidance from Skylar earlier on, and their skills in casting spells, shooting accuracy, and the smoothness of spell connections were impeccable. As for their physical attributes, although they lacked explosive power and endurance due to their young bodies, they were more agile and dexterous. Therefore, their evasiveness and the angles from which they launched surprise attacks could keep Sarf busy for a while.

Cho Chang, Luna, and Astoria are all exceptionally talented; what they lack is practical experience, which will make their progress more noticeable.

Susan's natural talent was clearly inferior to the other five girls, but she was a worthy Hufflepuff. Undeterred, she became even more determined to become stronger, training even more diligently. In every battle, she suffered the most severe injuries and used the most Potions, both internal and external. Perhaps her performance wouldn't match the other girls in the short term, but with her willpower and perseverance, Skylar believed that in the near future, she would be no less capable than anyone else.

Skylar outwardly ignored the performance of the six girls, but in reality, he observed them all closely. Each of them had their own strengths and weaknesses, but he had already approved of their performances.

Skylar hadn't figured out how to be honest with his three girlfriends about his relationship with Sarf. Although he was skilled at strategizing and manipulating people, he always hesitated and found it difficult to make a decision when his own feelings were involved.

Arranging for Sarf to fight them was ostensibly for the good of the seven girls, but Skylar also had his own ulterior motives. So far, they seem to be getting along quite well.

As for Beowulf, it had already fully recovered after receiving Skylar's healing magic. Skylar placed it in his Suitcase Space, which Skylar had already transformed into an ecologically balanced simulated environment with animals such as rabbits and deer for it and Silver Fang to hunt. Speaking of Silver Fang, because it had consumed plenty of nutritional and Strengthening Solution provided by Skylar since childhood, although the two wolves were about the same size, Silver Fang was much stronger than Beowulf. With a single slap, it sent the latter flying several feet away.

Beowulf wasn't a stupid wolf; he quickly realized that Silver Fang was his master's number one pet and promptly acknowledged Silver Fang as his leader. Silver Fang had grown up in the Suitcase Space since it was a cub, and apart from its master's occasional visits, it only had Buckbeak as a playmate. However, Buckbeak was quite arrogant and difficult to get along with. Now, for the first time, it had met its own kind, and the other was even willing to be its subordinate. Although the proud wolf's face remained calm, it was secretly overjoyed.

The Suitcase Space only the two wolves, and soon they were playing and hopping around together every day, their bond incredibly strong.

The study of the megaliths is not difficult, just time-consuming, but with the help of the Time-Turner, this is not a major problem.

Time passed day by day, and before we knew it, it was April.

Over time, Skylar has deciphered the six spells inscribed on the stone tablet; they are—

The first one is that you can use "la la la la" to make the other person fall into a "la la la la" state for 5 seconds. This magic only requires a spell and does not require a wand. Although it can only make the target "la la la la", if used at the right time, it is definitely a Killer.

The second method involves transforming the subject's "la la la la" or "la la" into the "la la la la" of a giant snake. This giant snake possesses immense physical strength, enough to twist steel into a pretzel, and it bites the subject's "la la la" or "la la la." The snake's fangs contain venom, but not the lethal kind; rather, it's a special kind of "la la la la," specifically used for this purpose. The "la la la la" is injected into the bloodstream of the subject bitten by the giant snake through the fangs, causing the subject to experience the "la la la la" sensation, but their body remains completely unaffected by the "la la la la."

The third one is that it can conjure up "la la la la la la la". This magic has no fixed quantity of "la la la la". The number of "la la la" that can be conjured up depends entirely on the caster's own "la la la la". If the caster has the magic power to conjure up "la la la la", it is not impossible to make a real "la la la la la la".

The fourth is that you can use your external body as a substitute and transfer the "la la la la" from your mouth. This magic is the trump card among la la. Even if you are hit by the legendary "la la la la," you can still use "la la la la."

The fifth is the "Myriad Serpent Net Formation," a trap that can be set in advance on the ground. This is the first trap-type magic that Skylar has encountered since entering the magical world. This spell can be cast on an area roughly the size of the Great Hall Hogwarts, leaving no trace on the ground afterward. It can only be activated at the caster's whim. Once activated, thousands upon thousands of Little Snakes will suddenly emerge from the ground, attacking all creatures within the spell's range indiscriminately, burying them alive in the swarm.

These five spells are all quite practical combat spells. Among them, the "Myriad Serpent Net Formation" even has the rudiments of war magic. If several Parseltongue were to cast it simultaneously, it would be enough to determine the outcome of a war involving tens of thousands of people. It can be said that Skylar's gains from this encounter were indeed considerable.

The sixth, and final, spell, however, did not bring Skylar any joy.

This is a spell that does not require any magic power.

This spell requires the caster to sacrifice half of their lifespan to cast it. That is to say, assuming Skylar could have lived to 100 years old without any accidents, after casting this spell, he would only live to 50. Even worse, if a wizard with little lifespan were to cast this spell, it would almost certainly cost him his life, and it would be uncertain whether the spell would even achieve the desired effect.

The most powerful sealing technique that seals away all species, whether wizards, living beings, or the undead, at the cost of lives—the "Eight Serpents Sealing Technique"!

A restless and uneasy shadow once again fell over Skylar's heart.

Was Slytherin's disappearance partly to facilitate the casting of this spell?

Since this magic doesn't require magical power, it naturally doesn't need a wand either.

Seal, seal, ah--

This proves that Slytherin's formidable enemy is not truly dead, but merely sealed away!

Since it's magic, there must be a way to break it. Perhaps not a thousand years ago, but anyone sealed away for a thousand years would surely find a way to break it...

Skylar felt distressed for the first time about his own reasoning abilities.

Knowing too much can sometimes be a bad thing...
