Chapter 125 If Miracles Had a Name
So everything is connected in series.
Salazar did not have the gift of prophecy originally. He only learned divination to know what happened to Catherine who was trapped in the curtain. Catherine did not know the years in the curtain. She had already consumed more than a year of the outside world just by running to Herbo. .
There was no news, no sense, and the news that the curtain was connected to Apep's trial site did not dare to be revealed to others. Only Godric around Salazar knew his anxiety.
He said jokingly that if you were too worried, you might as well do a divination - his intention was just to divert Salazar's attention.
Everyone knew that Salazar had no talent for divination or prophecy. This was something he had already tried before. Rowena was the only one among their group of friends who had this ability.
Let Salazar do something that he obviously can't do. Normally, Salazar would just think that Godric was bored and wanted to waste his time. Now he was moved.
So he personally found a piece of white crystal, polished it into a crystal ball, and set up the altar and array according to the book records. During the preparation process, he did feel some peace in his heart. At this time, Catherine had already entered the curtain. More than years.
Is she still safe? When will she come back? No one knows. Occasionally, Salazar will have nightmares, dreaming that Catherine is in danger in the curtain, dreaming that she failed to get Apep's inheritance, and even dreaming of her Buried in chaos.
Compared with these terrifying dreams, Salazar felt that as long as she was safe, even if she didn't come back, even if he couldn't see her for the last time, it was good news.
He just wanted to know if Catherine was still safe...
Through the connection between the crystal ball and the magic circle, Salazar, who had been unable to sense it, vaguely felt something unusual.
He seemed to be able to see inside his own body, see the flow of his bones, blood and magic power, and see his soul that was mottled due to a large number of experiments and the use of forbidden magic dyed with bits and pieces of silver light, gradually becoming clean and round. melt.
He felt the presence of Catherine, and through Catherine, he felt a huge white basilisk, which Catherine called...Helbo.
This silly girl is obviously a descendant of the snake god Apep. Even if she is not named Apep, her name should not be equated with a mortal wizard. Even if this wizard is a once very famous wizard, the first person to artificially cultivate snakes. Weird people.
Of course, these are not important. What is important is that Catherine is indeed safe, which makes Salazar very happy. He is happier than knowing that she is recognized by Apep and is named "Apepp".
Salazar never thought that he would have great luck because of his children.
Some people may think that it is good luck to give birth to the god-born Catherine, or that Aesop will definitely go down in history as a famous poet and painter, or that Catherine's various achievements in the past have given her a transcendent status in the magical world.
From Saracha's perspective as a father, these are the pride that his children bring him. They are so excellent because they are themselves, not because they are his children... They are inherently excellent, and with him as a father , it doesn’t matter much.
But this time, because Catherine was recognized by Apep, Salazar's father also jumped up, which really surprised and delighted Salazar - his "prophecy" talent was only obtained by Catherine after being recognized by Apep. In addition to being in charge of darkness and death, the snake god Apep is also the lord of chaos, controlling the power of time and space.
Salazar was delighted that his talent for divination and prophecy allowed him to confirm in this way that Catherine and Aesop, who was running around the world, were safe. He did not tell anyone, not even Godric this time, to avoid the big-mouthed The friend then told Catherine and the others.
Frequent use of divination and prophecy is not good, and Salazar just checks in every week to make sure the children are safe.
Until he "saw" the birth of Aesop's son, Salazar felt the passage of life in the tender newborn baby. Rebirth, growth, death, life is a river that never turns back, flowing forever.
Salazar was never afraid of death...but he would occasionally feel sad and worried. He was afraid that he would never see this pair of outstanding children again, and wondered whether they would be in danger in the future, or whether they would be needed in places beyond his reach. help.
With this thought, Salazar suddenly "saw" a more distant future.
I saw a descendant named Tom Marvolo Riddle, who called himself "Voldemort", used black magic to control the magical world, started a war between the magical world and the Muggle world, and eventually caused the magical world to collapse, all wizards lost their magic power, and even... …s future.
Salazar tried to "see" everything clearly, using all his strength, and finally woke up. He had lost this talent, but he saw everything he should see.
"He told Professor Binns about this matter, only him, and asked him to record it in a 'historical' way," Dumbledore said slowly, "because Professor Binns aspired to become a historian. Home, he made a wish to forever preserve the integrity and maximum authenticity of history, and magic answered him."
"...No wonder Professor Binns is so special as a ghost." Not only does he retain maximum sanity, he is also able to use magic.
"His 'history book' cannot be kept out of his sight, but if it were you, I think he would let you read it."
In Catherine's memory of her first time travel, she had never met Professor Binns. There was another Professor of History of Magic in those years. I wonder if this was something Salazar had foreseen in advance?
The snow outside had stopped at some point, and under the lights of the castle, it seemed as if the ground was sprinkled with broken silver, sparkling.
Helbo crawled back into Catherine's arms. He had been to Dumbledore so many times that he knew where the old professor's candy jar was hidden.
The greatest courtesy of the little basilisk is to drag the sugar bowl over and ask if it can be eaten... The answer is of course yes. Dumbledore is happy to share his favorite candies with everyone, and you can eat happily with him. At present, Haierbo is just a little basilisk.
Dumbledore took out a candy from inside. The wrapping paper was a very special silver-green color. It happened that Haierbo's tail hooked up another orange-red candy. He exchanged it with the little basilisk and signaled Haier with his eyes. Bo looked at Catherine.
The owner of the basilisk was looking at the night scene outside the window, seemingly in a daze. Haierbo felt that the owner's mind was like the deep sea, making it feel very quiet.
With its head on the girl's arm and its tail rubbing against its owner's cool fingertips, Haierbo tried its best to straighten up and show Catherine the silver-green candy in its mouth.
Catherine opened her palms, and the little basilisk quickly put the candy into her palm and said proudly: "It's the silver-green color of Salazar's father~"
It refers to the color of Salazar's pupils, which is also the green that remains unchanged for thousands of years in Slytherin House.
"No wonder the book says that the magic of love is the most wonderful and elusive magic in the world." Catherine sighed.
Because of his love for his son Aesop, Salazar allowed him to be inferior to him, allowed him to pursue freedom and abandon the responsibilities and obligations in the eyes of ordinary people, and even found a beloved witch outside to marry. In the end, it was passed down from generation to generation, and Tom Lee appeared. Del, the rebellious descendant.
Because of his love for Catherine, he gave birth to her and resurrected her. Giving her two lives was not enough. He hoped that she would be as gorgeous as a summer flower as she wished and could be a beauty to everyone. Therefore, he was reluctant to let her spend the rest of her life as a squib. However, he helped her find the curtain, which gave her the opportunity to contact Apep's descendants.
Based on his love for his descendants, the snake god Apep gave the name "Apepp" to Catherine who could protect it and take it away from Chaos to see the vast world outside, giving her some power over Chaos and even benefiting her. Her father gave Salazar the power to see into the future.
Everything seemed to have been arranged secretly, full of coincidences, but because of everyone's choices, it finally followed the destined route.
If Apep doesn't pay so much attention to Haierbo, Haierbo will not be born early, nor will his intelligence be broken because he violates the will of the world.
As long as Salazar was selfish and gave up on Catherine at any important point in time, he could safely enjoy his honor as the Duke of Slytherin and have an extremely prominent, glorious, and perfect life in both the Muggle and wizarding worlds.
As long as Catherine does not respond to the expectations of Salazar and others, she will not be born, she will not die for others, she will not be resurrected for Salazar, and she will not enter the veil to regain her magic power.
But no one chooses the path that is most beneficial to them.
All the coincidences that are considered for the beloved are connected together to create this miracle that spans thousands of years.
"Now, we also need to use the magic of love to ensure that the disasters that Lord Salazar saw do not occur in the future."
Using that, Tom Riddle was stripped of all negative emotions, leaving only positive emotions, and deep love.
