Return of Salazar Slytherin

Daphne froze.

What Rhys said conflicted with the legends told by her ancestors. One side believes that after the Chamber of Secrets is opened, the heir of Slytherin will purge the school of those who are not worthy of learning magic, while the other side says that this is not the case at all.

The new perspectives impacted her old cognition, leaving her speechless for a moment.

"Daphne, listen to what I'm telling you." Rhys wanted to break the whole thing apart and analyze it with Daphne. "You are also a member of the Greengrass family. The quality of the so-called pure-blood families in the modern magical world. I believe you also understand. According to that statement, how many people must be killed to purify the school? Does Draco Malfoy qualify to not be purged? Does Ernie Macmillan of Hufflepuff qualify? ——His pure bloodline can only be traced back nine generations! If we zoom in, what about professors? Should half-goblins like Professor Flitwick be purified? The legend of the Chamber of Secrets is fundamentally untenable!

"What's more, what can Slytherin leave behind? What kind of monster can do such a difficult operation and is willing to be left in a dark secret room all the time just for that cause?" Rhys said sincerely, "This legend is completely false."

Daphne nodded silently, she felt that what Rhys said made sense.

"Don't think so much. Even if the news left by your ancestors is true, I am the descendant of Slytherin now!" Rhys almost wanted to break the pot.

He was really speechless: He was obviously one of the founders of Hogwarts, but how could he become the villain behind the scenes in the eyes of future generations? It was as if he had done all the bad things.

You shouldn't have left back then. God knows how those people reconstructed your image after you left. Rhys reprimanded himself.

It's over, I've become a villain!

Rhys had to accept this cruel reality.

Under Rhys's earnest persuasion, Daphne gradually believed what he said.

In her opinion this was a good thing, no one would be harmed by the opening of the secret room.

Compared with other "pure-blood" saints, the Greengrass family is much more "Buddhist". They don't have the common problems of pure-blood families, and they don't discriminate against wizards from Muggle families. Perhaps This is the confidence that true pure blood brings to them.

In Rhys's opinion, the legend of the secret room was most likely made up by a certain family to intimidate others and benefit their own family.

While pretending to be a descendant of Slytherin, he said that his ancestors left a "secret weapon" for him in school, so as to gain the respect of others.

Rhys looked down upon such people and hated them for damaging his reputation.

The confusion and doubts in Daphne's mind were dispelled, but she had one last question left: "Since you are the heir of Slytherin, why is your surname 'Lint' and not 'Gaunt'?"

"Gaunt?"

"Yes, the last descendant of Slytherin, are you a distant relative of their family?" Speaking of the heir of Slytherin, the first thing Daphne thought of was the Gaunt family, but this family has reached the edge of extinction.

Rhys: "…"

Regarding Daphne's remarks, he could only say that there were too many truths buried in the sands of history - Gaunt was a child he picked up after leaving Hogwarts who could speak Parseltongue. Because he could speak Parseltongue, he adopted him as his adopted son and gave him some of his real estate to take care of before going to sleep.

As a result, Gaunt actually became his descendant a thousand years later.

What kind of thing is this?

"Gaunt's ancestors were children adopted by Slytherin. I don't think the Gunter family can be called a descendant of Slytherin."

"Okay." Daphne shrugged. It was common for various families to expose each other's shortcomings and throw dirty water on each other in order to compete for legitimacy. Unless Slytherin himself is pulled out, there is no way to prove the truth of this matter.

However, it is also true that the surnames of the founders of the four major colleges have not been handed down. From this perspective, no one is considered a true heir.

Rhys sighed and said: "It took me so long. Let's go to the classroom first. I have to teach you magic today."

As he spoke, he pulled out his wand, and a large blue bubble appeared on the tip of the wand.

This spell is not a defensive spell. It can only serve as a separation. It is not much different from putting a plastic bag on the body. Rhys's only purpose in doing this was to prevent the sludge from the pipe from rubbing on his robes.

After putting bubbles on both himself and Daphne, Rhys motioned for Daphne to follow him.

"Are we going to jump down?" Looking at the deep and bottomless tube, Daphne felt her throat was dry.

"of course not."

The next second, Daphne had an unprecedented novel experience: her feet were in the air and she slowly floated to an inch above the ground.

"A simple application of the levitating spell." Rhys's voice came from the tube, and he had already entered the tube first.

Daphne was a bit at a loss as she didn't know how to control her floating body. Fortunately, Rhys knew her situation, and while he was flying down, he also controlled Daphne to fly down with him.

Inside the tube is a dark, slimy, endless slide.

Rhys controlled himself not to think about the composition of the sludge on the pipe wall, and at the same time was glad that he had used two bubble spells first.

The pipe he was in now was the main pipe. The pipe was twisted and almost vertical all the way down. After falling for a long time, Rhys and the two finally emerged from the mouth of the pipe and landed on the ground.

The moment he landed, Rhys transformed into a ball of flame, lighting up the underground space.

The feeling of being grounded was reassuring, and Daphne had the energy to observe her surroundings: she was now standing in a dark, wide stone tunnel.

There is no external light source in the tunnel, so even with the flames conjured by Rhys, the view is not very clear.

There was a crisp snap, and Daphne looked down and found that she had stepped on a mouse skull. A closer look revealed that there were bones of small animals scattered everywhere on the ground.

Daphne felt like her scalp was exploding, and Rhys had a similar reaction to her.

Before Daphne could scream, Rhys waved his wand and cleaned up all the remains within his field of vision.

As for the bones being out of sight, Rhys thinks it's better not to think too much about it, as it's good for your physical and mental health.

Rhys tried to comfort himself: This was just the corridor outside the secret room, and he hadn't really entered the room yet - it would definitely be better inside, he thought optimistically.

"I can teach you this cleaning spell, so..."

"I would rather die than obey." Daphne was very smart, and she understood Rhys' intention as soon as he opened his mouth.

He wants to teach her the cleaning spell and then will order her to clean this hallway all by herself! ! !

She flatly rejected Rhys.
