Serpentis Academy.

Under the leadership of the old craftsman Satis, the student group of Luyuan walked slowly in the academy courtyard of Serpentis Academy that looked like an ancient dense forest. Everything around them seemed mysterious and solemn.

Satis led the students along the tree-lined path paved with bluestones, and the students in Luyuan looked around.

The old craftsman stopped in front of an arch carved with a giant snake totem and began to introduce the building in front of him:

"This is the territory of the Serpent Sect."

He pointed at the giant snake symbol entwined on the building, his eyes calm and revealing a different look.

"Most of the students of the Serpent Faction are from pure-blood wizarding families of the Auror family, especially wizarding families like the Kailasel family."

Satis explained in a low voice:

"For them, the inheritance of the family is the most important, and the purity of the bloodline is a symbol of the wizard's talent.

Students of the Serpent Sect are proud of the family power behind them. After all, they are often considered to be the elites who will rule the Naga Ring in the future."

Satis' voice was a bit sad, and the students' attention was also attracted to him.

The old craftsman then added:

"The symbol of the Serpent Sect is a coiled giant snake. Most of the students here are good at transformation and snake spirit summoning. Not only can they control snake creatures, but they can also display quite powerful magical defense and attack power in battle."

"Oh, by the way, most of them can master Parseltongue naturally."

He slowly turned around and pointed to the hall next to him:

"This hall is where they hold the 'Family Night' every year. Members of the Kailasel family often come here in person to observe the summoning ceremony of the Serpent Sect students and demonstrate their family's strength and progress."

"Can ordinary people... what you call Muggle-born people be able to master Parseltongue?"

At this time, Camille, as a top student, couldn't help but curiously asked a question that she cared about very much.

The old craftsman glanced at Camille, then shook his head and said to Student Deer:

"Unfortunately, Parseltongue is not a skill that can be acquired through learning."

"Parseltongue is primarily depicted as a gift, usually acquired through inheritance or specific magical conditions.

It is difficult to learn, and only a handful of wizards may be able to partially understand it rather than speak the language fluently.

Therefore, it is more consistent with an innate skill linked to blood or soul, rather than an ability that can be mastered through regular learning."

The old craftsman continued:

"This kind of talent is almost impossible to acquire through learning.

Most wizards and witches cannot understand or speak Parseltongue.

However, some sages from other worlds seem to be able to understand the meaning of Parseltongue, which suggests that very powerful wizards may be able to partially understand it somehow, but this does not mean that they can learn to speak the language fluently."

Camille pushed up her glasses and looked thoughtful:

"That is to say, non-blood wizards can barely understand Parseltongue through systematic learning, but they cannot speak Parseltongue."

"Yes," the old craftsman added: "Even if Muggle wizards can understand it, they cannot speak Parseltongue in detail."

Having said this, the old craftsman pointed to the Serpent Sect Academy in front of him.

"In the Ring of Nagas, most of the wizarding families that immigrated earlier have more or less a trace of Parseltongue blood; the original purpose of Serpentis Academy was to preserve and pass on the unique magical abilities of these bloodlines, among which

The core thing is Parseltongue.

The purity and strength of the bloodline determine the student's mastery of Parseltongue.

Those students who inherit the purest bloodline usually have a higher level of Parseltongue, and they can not only communicate with snakes, but also use Parseltongue to cast spells and incantations."

"In the Ring of Naga, the mastery of Parseltongue is divided into five levels, each level corresponding to a different language ability and application level."

"After passing Level 1 Parselton, students can only understand simple Parselton sentences, such as some basic commands and phrases. They can have simple communications with snakes, but cannot understand complex conversations.

Level 2 can understand more complex Parseltongue expressions, and can ask simple questions of snakes and get responses. Students at this level may sense snakes' emotions, but cannot use Parseltongue magically.

With Level 3 Parselmouth, students are able to conduct complex Parseltongue conversations and use Parseltongue to cooperate with snakes to complete certain tasks. They can influence the behavior of snakes through Parseltongue and even issue instructions to protect or attack them.

.”

"Except for the students from the Mysterious Scale Department, all other students here have Level 2 and Level 3 Parseltongue qualification certificates, and only a handful of elites can reach Level 4 before graduation."

The old craftsman Satis couldn't help but sigh at this moment:

"For so many years after I graduated, Parselton has always been at Level 3. And if it is not used for too long, Parselton will show regression.

In the Ring of Nagas, only the Kailasel family is born with Parseltongue.

Their children, excluding a few extreme squibs, most Aurors possess level 3 Parseltongue from birth. This speaking skill is engraved on the Aurors like their mother tongue - this is also the foundation of their self-proclaimed holiness.

"

"No wonder they are so stinky." Ushas, ​​the three-eyed girl who had been listening on the side, complained accurately.

Camille noticed a detail and asked the old craftsman:

"The students of the mysterious scale department you mentioned before are an exception. I think they should be... wizards of Muggle origin, right? They have no blood, how can they study and travel in a college full of Parseltongues?"

"You will understand as soon as you continue walking with me."

Continuing to move forward, Satis led the students to another area that was more open and brighter. The wall at the entrance was inlaid with flickering snake scales. The light flowed slightly as the students approached, as if to welcome them.

their arrival.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! The tone of the old craftsman became slightly more relaxed: "This is the construction area of ​​the mysterious scale sect."

"Unlike the Serpent Sect, many of the students of the Mysterious Scales Sect are not from wizarding families, and there are even many wizards from Muggle ancestry."

Satis stared at the snake scales flowing with light.

"They are known for their diversity and inclusiveness. The students of the faction are good at illusions and psychic magic, especially the skills of stealth and mind manipulation, which allow them to always have a psychological advantage in complex situations."

"What if there's no Parseltongue?"

The old craftsman paused for a moment, thinking about the wording in his mind, and then said:

"For students who do not have Parseltongue blood, the college takes an alternative approach to allow them to acquire basic Parseltongue abilities - transplanting a special oral organ of a snake.

This organ can barely allow them to issue simple commands, reaching a level one level, but it is accompanied by significant side effects."

Camille frowned when she heard this - she smelled blood in this answer.

The old craftsman didn't seem to want to discuss this issue too much. He continued to lead the student group through the area.

Soon, they came to a place with a faint smell of herbs, and a slightly pungent smell filled the air.

The building was decorated with sharp snake teeth. Satis stopped here and smiled:

"This is the territory of the Venom Fang Sect."

"Most of the students of the Poison Fang Sect are particularly fond of poison magic and alchemy. They study the extraction and application of venom, and are good at using precise magic techniques to perfectly combine toxins and magic."

Satis pointed to the laboratory next to him and whispered:

"Here, the students of the Poison Fang Sect have their own toxin laboratory, which is used to refine various dangerous potions.

The faction's motto is 'Use wisdom to refine poison, use poison to keep truth', which reflects their precise control of poison."

Several Luyuan students silently looked at the buildings of this faction, seemingly full of curiosity about this poison-themed magic culture.

Ushas frowned, seeming to feel uncomfortable with the smell of poison. Satis seemed to notice her expression and chuckled:

"Students of the Fang School are calm and rational. They usually don't like to get involved in bloodline debates. They prefer to focus on self-improvement."

The old craftsman continued to lead the students to the last faction territory of Serpentis College.

The wind here is gusty, as if a storm is coming at any time, and the buildings are carved with patterns of storms and snake tails.

Satis' eyes were slightly solemn:

"This is the Venom Wind Sect."

"Students of the Venom Wind Sect advocate strength and are keen on controlling wind and water magic. They believe that magic should be as free and powerful as a storm."

Satis explained: "They also don't pay much attention to blood purity. The faction members come from different backgrounds. They care more about power and control."

After the academy tour ended, Satis stopped, nodded to the students of Deer Academy, and said with a slight smile:

"These are the four major factions of Serpentis Academy. Each is unique and has its own strengths. I believe you will feel their charm more deeply in the future."

While the old craftsman was talking, Camille kept noticing a detail.

That is, every time the other party goes to a place and needs to use a secret spell, he can't help but touch the back of his gloved right hand with his left hand.

Are you used to it?

The thought in Camille's mind flashed away. She just paid attention to this action subconsciously and did not think deeply about it.

When the old craftsman Satis slowly finished introducing the four major factions one by one, the students in Luyuan showed different expressions on their faces, some were excited about unknown magic, and some were curious about the culture of different factions.

Satis stared at them, smiled slightly, and pointed to a building on the east side of the college. The lights there were dim, revealing a mysterious atmosphere, like twinkling stars in the dark night. He said in a deep voice:

"You will temporarily stay in the dormitory of the mysterious Scale Sect. As the most inclusive faction in the Naga Ring, their dormitories usually receive wizards and scholars from different backgrounds. I hope you can adapt to the environment here."

Kamil nodded and led the students from Luyuan towards the east dormitory, his eyes full of curiosity and excitement about the life in the Naga Ring that they were about to welcome.
