Hermione seemed to think of something because of the gift, and looked at Ryan with wide eyes in disbelief.Ryan nodded solemnly.

"What you guessed may be true. Our behavior of accepting this gift should actually be very similar to the beginning of the ancestors of those pure-blood families gaining distinctive powers and becoming pure-blood wizards. If it is explained scientifically, it is a kind of Targeted genetic variation."

Speaking of this, Ryan remembered the content about body modification left by Slytherin in his secret room, paused and continued: "Of course not all pure-blood families have obtained this power by signing contracts with powerful beings. Some powerful wizards have also kept their power in their blood through their research, and passed it down from generation to generation."

"After possessing this kind of power inherited by blood, the ancestors of these pure-blood wizard families gained unprecedented advantages. After all, at that time, wizards were still in the period of exploring the application of magic power. Relying on the power of blood inheritance can guarantee the entire The family will not cut off the inheritance for various reasons."

"After establishing an advantage, they naturally obtained more resources. The more resources, the greater the advantage. In such a virtuous circle, the power of the family also expanded like a snowball, and finally formed the pure magic that rules the British wizarding world today. Blood family. The reason why they are called pure blood is because in the early years, in order to preserve the power in their blood, they had to adopt the means of marriage between close relatives."

"However, with the passage of time, even the power of the blood of close relatives will gradually fade. Your parents are dentists, so you should know that such close relatives are very harmful. Therefore, a large number of pure-blood families have to choose to marry other bloodlines. Pure-blooded or even hemp-blooded wizards intermarry, but because they have accumulated enough advantages before, even if the power in the bloodline completely disappears, it will not endanger their dominance.

Naturally, there are also stubborn families, but they all gradually disappeared in the long river of history.So much so that now I know that there are only two families left who can inherit the power of their ancestors in their blood. "

"Wait, the mysterious man is said to be born with a Parseltongue. Could it be that their family is one of the families that inherited the power of the blood?" Hermione asked his question after listening to Ryan's explanation.

"You are right, I was looking through the old newspapers in the school library and found that the Gaunt family is the descendant of Slytherin, but from the newspapers a hundred years ago, that family used the violent and mental problems caused by close relatives to marry And the extravagance is famous, until the family disappeared completely 50 years ago, the last member was imprisoned in Azkaban for killing Muggles, and finally died there. The other is our headmaster Dumbledore's The ancestral phoenix, fortunately, their family has signed a long-term contract with the longevity species, so there is no need to marry close relatives like the Gunter family."

"So that's the case." Hermione nodded, then picked up the teacup and began to drink tea quietly.It was only at this time that Ryan realized that besides these two drops of blood, he also got something from the pyramid as spoils of war.It's just that he has been a little busy since he arrived in this world, so he has been ignoring the existence of this trophy.

Hermione was sipping hot tea when she suddenly heard a thud.She looked around and saw Ryan took a dirty animal skin bag from his belt and put it on the table.

"What's this?" Hermione asked curiously, fanning the raised dust with her left hand.

"The booty after killing the blood god in the temple last time. I was too busy before and even forgot about it. I just remembered it when you said it. Let me see what's inside?"

This is the favorite time to open the box. Ryan rubbed his hands and prayed before opening the pocket.What surprised him was that although this pocket was a space bag, the space inside was extremely small, at most a circle larger than a normal schoolbag.

"Why is the space so small?" Ryan complained with some dissatisfaction.

"You must know that portable space equipment was very rare 1000 years ago. At that time, it was popular to use certain creatures with natural space power as space bags. For example, the one in front of us is obviously made of some kind of animal. The whole skin was peeled off and shrunk to the size of a palm by special means." Hermione said after putting the teacup on the saucer.

Sure enough, after Ryan looked carefully, he found the animal's limbs and tail from the bag, and the animal's mouth was made into the bag's opening.

"How did you know about this situation?"

"Obviously this is what was taught in class, so it can be seen that you didn't listen carefully to Professor Binns' class. He specifically mentioned this when he talked about the magical world thousands of years ago." Hermione spoke quickly Said this sentence.

"It's not my fault." Ryan shrugged. "Except for you, I really can't think of anyone else who can listen carefully to an entire class in Professor Binns' class."

After speaking, Ryan took out an arm-length plain gold box and several medicine bottles made of natural crystals from the bag. Through the bottles, he could see some dark things piled up at the bottom of the bottles.

"This should be the blood of some magical creatures. Unfortunately, it has been ruined after too long." Ryan observed a few bottles and uncorked them. After sniffing, he put the bottles aside.Then he brought the golden casket.

There was only one buckle on the gold box, and Ryan took the gold box to the middle of the living room and opened the buckle with magic.

As soon as the lid of the box was opened, a dead scorpion fell out.

"This is a very rare rune gold scorpion, highly poisonous. It should be the little pet of the blood god, but unfortunately he died as soon as the blood god died." Ryan turned to Hermione and explained that when he was talking, the scorpion The dead scorpion quickly weathered into a pile of ashes.

Ryan took the box and returned to the table. There was a silver dagger in the box, and a lot of words were engraved on the lid of the box.After reading it for a while, I realized that it was actually a letter, which described how he was injured in the process of taking the blood source stone.And this box contained the weapon that hurt him back then, and he swore that one day he would stab this weapon back to his master.

"It seems that his blood source stone was found in Europe back then, because this dagger is obviously of European style." After pouring out the dagger, Ryan looked at the silver dagger inlaid with rubies and said.

"I think we found a good thing." Hermione picked up the dagger and looked it over carefully, then said a little excitedly.

"Oh, when did you learn antique identification?" Ryan asked curiously.Because from this dagger, he can only be sure that it is of European medieval style and that it may have been made by a goblin, and he can't judge the rest.So he was curious how Hermione identified it.

"Here, isn't this clearly written?" Hermione pointed to the gauntlet of the dagger, and Ryan discovered a string of letters engraved on it.

"I'm still a little careless." Ryan took the dagger and looked at the letters, and was surprised to find that the words engraved on the gauntlet of the dagger were a very familiar name: Godric Gryffindor.
