Chapter 671

"Dada... Dada... Dada..."

This spiral ladder is longer than Ernst imagined. With his continuous descent, the initial ease has gradually disappeared, replaced by the faint warning quietly floating in his heart.

Although it was easy to cast the magic wand luminous spell, it was consumed to maintain the light. His spirit had already felt tired, so the spell had to be cancelled. Obviously, the effect of Fuling agent left in his body has also been consumed.

At present, there is infinite darkness in front of and behind him. Only the stone steps under his feet continue, level by level, as if there was no end.

Only footsteps echoed in the winding down secret path.

Without the guidance of fulingji, Ernst naturally had no ability to move freely in the dark. Fortunately, the stone steps are quite easy to walk. As long as he touches the handrail and walks carefully, he is not afraid of wrestling.

As for the accumulated ash in the armrest groove, in this case, of course, there is no room for him to dislike East and West.

"Dada... Dada..."

The footsteps continued, which proved that Ernst was not frightened by the current situation. He was still moving on.

But think about it, he also moved forward alone in the same dark ice cave. Now, although there is no torch lighting, he has a real magic wand. Although his spirit is still exhausted, at least one or two ordinary magic spells can be issued... Probably.

I don't know how long I walked in the dark where I couldn't see anything at all. When perseverance ruens couldn't help feeling a little anxious, a sudden light suddenly lit up his vision.

The light was not dazzling, but extremely soft. Even if Ernst walked in the dark for too long, he didn't feel much discomfort.

When the light suddenly poured into Ernst's pupils, an arched door hole also came into his eyes, and the light came out of the door hole.

Because the light came so suddenly, he didn't come back until now - it turned out that he finally arrived at his destination.

Although the effect of the blessing agent had long passed, Ernst didn't hesitate at the door for too long. He just took a slight meal under his feet and walked straight to the door hole again.

Since the wonderful hunch led him into the secret road behind him, the door opening as the only exit of the secret road is naturally where the hunch points. Since he finally came here, why did he hesitate?

As soon as he stepped on the entrance hole, Ernst immediately looked around the space inside the door and observed it well.

In fact, this is a stone brick chamber of secrets, covering a small area, at least it looks ordinary. There seems to be nothing special except that the ceiling is a little low.

On the left and right sides of the secret room, two bookshelves were placed side by side, with bundles of parchment rolls piled on top. There were a lot of parchment rolls, not to mention the shelves were full, and even the top was piled up.

In the innermost part of the chamber of secrets, there was a long table with all kinds of cups and dishes on it. Even if you look far away, you can immediately find that most of the tableware are exquisite.

As for the central part of the chamber of secrets, the largest place is occupied by a thick and steady wood carving round table. There are also several armchairs around the table. The back of the chair is carefully carved with vivid small animals. Look at their actions and expressions. They are naive and very popular.

On the wall opposite Ernst's station, a large Hufflepuff college emblem is being fixed there, and small badger brocade flags with khaki tassels are hanging on both sides.

It can be seen that everything here is so simple, just like an ordinary room... Or a small kitchen.

If there is anything worth paying attention to here, in addition to the old parchment rolls tied up, I'm afraid there is only the parchment spread out, which is casually pressed on the round table by a tall wooden cup.

Oh, no, another thing worth mentioning is that Ernst found that there seemed to be no dust in the secret room. Although everything here is old, all corners here are so clean without any stains and dust.

Even, because Ernst had been walking in the spiral channel for a long time, the dust under his feet left extremely conspicuous footprints on the ground.

Maybe it's because the head here is so spotless that Ernst looks at his footprints and feels a little dazzling. He wants to bend down and wipe them off.

However, he never forgot that the trip to the secret room tonight had taken a lot of time. If he wants to go back to sleep for a while, he must hurry up.

Putting aside the awkward feeling in his heart, Ernst moved his eyes to the front again and quickly walked to the round table in front of him. He thought it would be right to take a look at the parchment pressed under the cup on the table first.

It's a pity

"... what's this word?" he murmured with a puzzled face. "It seems that I have seen similar words several times when turning books in the library, but..."

Whatever it is, since you can't understand it, put it away first! Anyway, I found it myself, and it naturally belongs to me - Ernst thought naturally.

So he shook his head carelessly, rolled the parchment in his hand, and then stuffed it into the largest pocket on his robe.

With this first harvest, Ernst didn't stop and went straight to the bookshelf on the right wall. When he got around the round table, he found that there were several barrels on the ground next to the bookshelf, and the barrels were also filled with a lot of parchment rolls, which was appalling.

As soon as he saw it, he naturally drew some out without hesitation. This time he didn't even look at it, but put it in his pocket as much as possible until he couldn't fit it.

"In short, take it back and study it..."

Ernst patted his two pockets with satisfaction, and a frivolous smile appeared on his face. But he soon put away the smile, turned around and wanted to look elsewhere to see if there was anything more valuable for him to take away.

Although the secret room and secret road can't run, the spiral channel outside is too long. He doesn't want to go down too often.

But when Ernst took a few steps around the round table again, he didn't know what he saw, and suddenly the whole person froze.

“……”

His throat trembled slightly, but there was no sound. His eyes were fixed on the ground ahead, as if there was something he had to look at, and he couldn't move his eyes for a moment.

There was a pale dead bone, and a skull rolled down at one end of the pile. Close to the pile of white dead bones was a set of brown simple robes with bright colors.

"Who's this..." after being shocked, Ernst subconsciously glanced at the emblem on the wall. "Is it the founder of Hufflepuff College... Well, if not, it should be a wizard elder related to Hufflepuff college."

We should always respect the dead. Although Ernst often has all kinds of selfish psychology, there are still some basic morality.

Therefore, he first bowed slightly towards the dead bone. After expressing his respect, he carefully... Er, pulled out the strange wooden stick with arm length from under an arm bone.

This wooden staff is carved very finely, and the lines on it are winding, as if there is a certain law. Between the fine lines, one or two small symbols are occasionally connected, which adds a bit of mystery to it.

Ernst took it in his hand and waved it gently, but there was no change. He pondered for a moment and found that he couldn't touch it for the time being, so he resolutely inserted it into his waist.

"Is this a wand, too?"

As he thought, he strolled around the secret room a few times, opened the doors of the cabinets that could be opened one by one, and checked them carefully. But at last he found that this place was really a kitchen - the kitchen cabinets were occupied by tableware and kitchenware, and nothing else was found.

In the end, Ernst looked around the secret room again, nodded secretly, turned out of the door and left.

Not long after he stepped out of the cave, the light behind him suddenly disappeared, and everything returned to the endless darkness again.

……

Ernst's trip to the chamber of secrets was unknown to anyone.

That night, he was very tired. He returned to his bedroom in the dark. Just after collecting the parchment roll and the wooden stick, he fell asleep. Until the next day, erns, who was far from enough sleep, was quickly awakened by his roommate and reminded him that it was time for him to go to the auditorium for breakfast.

It was at breakfast time that Professor McGonagall criticized a student on the spot. Needless to say, it was the Slytherin student who was hit by Ernst with a tapestry last night.

Until now, Ernst knew that the senior was Draco Malfoy. It was said that he was a repeater.

Because of the amazing eyes he came into contact with at that time, Ernst paid extra attention and firmly recorded the name in his heart.

He was not sure whether the other party had seen his appearance clearly, but at the moment when their eyes met, he was found that he had not run away.

"... Draco Malfoy."

Ernst scooped up a spoonful of juice jelly and poured it into his mouth, muttering vaguely.
