Although Skylar did not possess the ability to Prophecy, his magical cultivation had reached a level where he naturally possessed a mysterious perception of fate.

Within two days, he twice linked the Gryffindor illusion to the Death God Sect, both in his visions in Gryffindor and in Mr. Selwyn's memories. He had a strange premonition that he would soon have some contact with this mysterious organization.

"Found it!" Sarf's excited shout interrupted Skylar's thoughts.

Skylar looked at the scroll Sarf was holding and knew they had finally found the biggest find of the night.

Skylar's earlier guess was indeed correct; the House of Selwyn's ability to remain standing for so many years was indeed due to their possession of a core secret inheritance that could influence the way of life in the wizarding world.

"Master, look at this!" Sarf hurriedly went to Skylar's side, handing the scroll to Skylar. Her exquisite face was almost pressed against Skylar's, yet she casually pointed at the scroll in her hand and said, "This is probably the biggest secret behind the mysterious House of Selwyn's livelihood, the family business they rely on, and the greatest secret that allows them to create such enormous wealth and power..."

Smelling the fragrance emanating from her breath, Skylar felt a surge of excitement. He couldn't help but look up and ask, "How come your lips are so..." Before he could finish, he was met with a pair of captivating, watery eyes. In that instant, Skylar felt a buzzing in his head, and their lips were pressed together...

It felt like an eternity before their lips finally parted, and they breathed heavily at each other. Sarf seemed to have lost all her strength and could no longer stand. She leaned tightly into Skylar's arms, letting Skylar hold her soft waist. Her dark, glossy hair cascaded down Skylar's arms like a waterfall.

Sarf seemed unsatisfied, pressing her head against Skylar's neck. A warm, damp sensation spread across Skylar's neck, slowly tracing its path. Skylar let out a suppressed groan, his usual calm and rationality fading into Bewitched and Bothered. Suddenly, he felt a cool, magical force surge into his mind, instantly bringing him back to his senses. It turned out that the activating magic within him was automatically protecting its master, expelling the strange magic that had invaded his consciousness.

"Sarf! We're on serious business, there are House Elf here! (Latifa is in her Private Library)" Skylar slapped Sarf's shapely bottom in annoyance, stopping Sarf seductive advances.

Sarf showed no embarrassment whatsoever; instead, she smiled smugly and said, "This is a spell I just learned from that book, <Charm from the Heart>. How about it? Isn't it amazing?"

"You just don't know how to do good things, why do you have to learn this of all spells..." Of course, Skylar did think this spell was very powerful, and even with his strong willpower, he almost fell for it, but he still refused to admit defeat. He coughed twice and said, "This spell is alright, but it's still slightly inferior to the Veela's charm—however, as your master, I now command you—from today onwards, this spell can only be used on me."

Sarf burst into laughter, "Yes, my master! So when shall we practice and spar with each other again?"

Skylar used his Occlumency to forcefully eliminate all the frivolous thoughts in his mind, and said softly, "Sarf, I know how you feel, but I'm not even an adult yet. Can we talk about those things later?"

Sarf pouted in dissatisfaction, "That's just an excuse—you're more mature and composed than most old men. Age isn't the issue at all; you just care about what your young girlfriends think."

"That's true," Skylar didn't deny it. "Daphne and Meredith have followed me the longest, so I definitely have to consider their feelings. Besides, Meredith hasn't been saved yet—and then there's Astoria, who still carries Blood Curse. Although I've sealed it away, it's still a lurking problem. I promised her I would help her break this damned curse."

"Therefore, I cannot betray them, nor can I deceive myself," Skylar said solemnly, as if verifying his vow and witnessing his true self. "Until I rescue Meredith and break the Blood Curse on Astoria, I will not consider matters of love between men and women."

Sarf gazed at his handsome face, then suddenly chuckled, "As expected of my master! Do you know that although you walk a path of conspiracies and bloodshed in your quest for supremacy, it is your loyal and righteous character that makes the girls around you so devoted to you?"

Compared to Voldemort, who had lost his humanity and emotions, and Grindelwald, who turned against his true love, Skylar truly felt that he was incredibly lucky.

After this brief interlude, Skylar began to carefully read about the House of Selwyn's biggest secret.

As he read further, his eyes gradually widened.

"This..." Skylar never expected that the core inheritance of the House of Selwyn would be this—

"Has everyone finished packing up?" Skylar asked in a deep voice, his sharp gaze sweeping across the room.

What is immediately visible is that all magical items have been categorized by type, function, and size and packed into sandalwood boxes of various sizes. Dangerous Dark Arts items are packed separately into specially made metal boxes, which are engraved with alchemical sealing incantations to prevent the contents from escaping and causing trouble.

Dobby and Winky nodded respectfully in agreement. The other two House Elf, however, were so frightened by Skylar's gaze that they immediately knelt down and nodded, trembling.

After Skylar inherited the Slytherin legacy, he awakened the power of the "Elf Sovereign." Even without his conscious effort, the unintentional pressure emanating from him could easily suppress all House Elf, making them unable to raise their heads or stand up.

"Dobby, Latifa has taken the books. The rest are yours to deliver to Ella Cottage," Skylar commanded. "Winky, you stay here. I need your Apparition to take me somewhere in a bit."

"Dobby obeys!" Dobby drew a circle with his finger and cast a spell unique to elves. With a crackling sound, the box on the ground and Dobby himself disappeared.

Ella Cottage is one of the legacies left to Skylar by his grandmother. It is now Skylar's only secret base outside of school. Skylar himself cast Fidelius Charm on it to hide it, and Skylar himself is the Secret Keeper. Only Dobby, the House Elf, has obtained Skylar's "key".

It wasn't that Skylar distrusted the other House Elf, but rather that the fewer people given keys, the smaller the chance of a leak. For example, in the original story, Hermione, one of the Secret Keeper, was accidentally touched by Selwyn during Apparition, resulting in the Order of the Order of the Phoenix headquarters being exposed. Skylar wouldn't allow even a one in a thousand chance of that happening.

"And next is..." Skylar's pupils turned crimson Snake Eyes, a cruel smile spreading across his face, "Imperio!"

The two House Elf froze for a moment, then straightened up after a few seconds, looked at Skylar, bowed respectfully, and greeted him, "Master—"

Before Skylar, who had awakened the power of the "Elf Sovereign" bloodline, the personalities and wills of the House Elf were as fragile as paper. Skylar controlled them with very little magic, and there was no need to worry about them breaking free from the Imperius Curse, because they wouldn't even have the thought of resisting.

"Forget everything here. After you return, continue to serve your former master as before, and monitor everyone's every move. If anyone behaves improperly, even if it's just a slight suspicion, report it to me as soon as possible. As for how to report, Winky and Dobby will contact you later and communicate with you using the secret code unique to elves," Skylar commanded coldly.

"Yes, my master." The two House Elf nodded respectfully, then vanished in Apparition.

[Acquired by "Infiltrating" two House Elf!]

Everything is arranged; it's time to leave.

Skylar pocketed all the remaining Dark Arts books, precious historical documents, and House of Selwyn heirloom magic scrolls he had obtained from the House of Selwyn, placing them together with the Dark Arts books and family heirloom magic scrolls he had acquired from the House of Yaxley. He planned to read and master them as soon as possible in the coming days.

[Dark Arts Book Obtained!]

[Historical documents obtained!]

[Acquired from the Selwyn family magic!]

Then, he and Sha'erfu took each of Winky's hands, one on each side, and left the Chamber of Secrets with a crackling sound.
