Harry Potter: Transmigrated Detective Link

In the square, Link was still resting accompanied by Phoenix Fawkes.

Perhaps because it was afraid Link was bored, Phoenix Fawkes was also continuously chirping 'ying ying ying', sounding like singing.

This is one of the phoenix's abilities, the song of courage.

When righteous people hear this tune, they will give rise to a strong courage. This is equivalent to giving you an injection of stimulant to offset fatigue and a low state.

But to be honest, Link actually did not need Phoenix Fawkes' encouragement, because he himself was already very excited.

[Slytherin Chamber Opened, Free Skill Point +1!]

Looking at the golden subtitles still flickering in front of him, Link laughed again.

He really didn't expect that in the past, it took an entire school year to get one free skill point, but recently they were being given out like cabbage.

But thinking carefully, this was actually normal. Link guessed his golden finger originally should be the type that obtains skill points and other rewards according to completing plotlines in the original work.

Currently, Link is in the center of the plot storm at Hogwarts, and at the same time the plot development has become even more intense, so it is only natural that the frequency of obtaining skill points has increased.

And while Link was resting, Snape was also not idle. He directly went into the mouth of that human-faced statue.

"You can come in now, there is no danger inside." Only after Link was getting impatient from waiting, did Snape finally poke out a head and say this sentence.

Then quickly shrank back inside, his face carrying a kind of rare, uncontrollable smile.

This made Link almost think that Snape had caught the basilisk Arkam or that mysterious heir.

But when he and Phoenix Fawkes entered the space inside the human-faced statue's mouth, they discovered it was not like that.

This was a cave similar to the previous stone cave. Judging by the traces around, this seemed to be the place where the basilisk Arkam usually rested. However, the ground was unusually dry and clean.

It seemed Arkam was quite protective of its residence.

And walking further inside, after passing through an open snake-carved stone door, a room somewhat similar to Snape's office appeared in front of Link.

Here, the ground and furnishings had accumulated a thick layer of dust, with many footprints scattered messily on it. Some were big, some small, some new, some old.

This excited Link, because perhaps among these footprints was that of the mysterious heir.

Blue light flashed in Link's eyes. Under the effect of the Super Sensory Charm, the various details of the footprints on the ground were seen clearly by Link, and he used a quick-quill pen to draw the data into a notebook.

Only after completing all this did Link shift his attention back to the other furnishings in the room.

The furnishings here were actually very simple, just an antique old desk and a huge stone storage rack.

On the storage rack were some boxes, but these boxes were placed messily and were empty inside. Judging from the dust traces on them, the things inside were taken away a long time ago.

Link guessed this place should be the true Slytherin's Chamber. In the past, it should have stored many treasures left behind by Slytherin for his heir.

But now, these things were probably already taken away by the young Voldemort.

On the nearby desk was placed a heavy book made of slabs of stone. At this moment, Snape was frantically copying something from it.

Link slowly approached, and only then discovered this stone book was actually bound with a chain, and the other end of the chain was directly connected to a pedestal on the ground made of the same material as the chain.

Judging from the marks on the chain and pedestal, Voldemort had seemingly tried to take this book away back then, but was unable to break the chain, and so gave up.

And the contents of that stone book were entirely written in Ancient Latin. Fortunately, this body of Link's had apparently received systematic training in Ancient Latin in the past (because many spells are derived from Ancient Latin pronunciation), so Link could basically understand it.

"What is this?" Link directly asked.

"Pharmacopeia," Snape replied without even turning his head, "Salazar Slytherin's Pharmacopeia."

Upon hearing this, Link immediately became excited.

Everyone in Hogwarts knew that Salazar Slytherin, besides being a powerful wizard, was also an exceptionally talented master of magical potions. The pharmacopeia he left behind is naturally a peerless masterpiece.

Without any hesitation, Link immediately stretched his neck and began copying together with Snape.

But as he copied, the excited expression on Link's face slowly disappeared.

Because he discovered that although this pharmacopeia indeed recorded many magical potion recipes, including even some with astonishing effects, yet unfortunately, these potions could no longer be concocted today.

The reason is also very simple, no materials.

Anyone who has studied magical history even briefly would know that wizards of the past were actually quite fortunate.

Because back then, the extraordinary resources on Earth were extremely abundant. They could take from nature without restriction.

Let's take an example. In the early days of wand invention, wands were actually a kind of 'huge item' similar in shape to scepters.

And due to backward wand-crafting techniques, those early wands essentially had no cores. The 'wandmakers' back then basically used a kind of random combination method to assemble all kinds of precious extraordinary materials.

Naturally, the success rate of such a production method must have been very low.

But the wizards at the time didn't care at all, because the extraordinary materials at the time were just too abundant.

Most importantly, this was just the wand industry. Other industries like potion-making and alchemy had even more severe situations.

And this kind of practice naturally also led to backlash from nature.

Just like how Muggles developed industry and polluted the environment, leading to the extinction of many natural resources in modern times, the wizards' madness similarly led to the exhaustion of extraordinary resources.

Up to today, Earth's extraordinary resources have already been overdeveloped, almost reaching the red line.

That's why in recent years, the magical world has been calling more and more loudly to protect the environment, protect magical creatures, even protect werewolves, vampires, mermaids, and centaurs.

Even the Ministry of Magic has made many policy concessions. They call this magical environmentalism, or sustainable development.

But don't think those Ministry bureaucrats compromised out of kindness or pressure. In their eyes, whether it's werewolves or other magical creatures, they are all just a type of extraordinary resource.

Just like in the original work, Fleur's wand core was made of veela hair. Although that wand had a restriction that only Fleur, a veela-blooded half-blood, could use it, but can you say that this kind of technology won't be broken through in the future?

And if it is, those werewolves, vampires, veelas, etc., would probably all be captured by wizards to make wands?
