Chapter 723

In the deep buried tomb underground palace, there are many traces of ancient civilization that Ernst has never seen. There are long tombs full of unknown characters, huge stone doors half open and half closed, and huge murals side by side.

Along the way, Ernst looked around with his shining wand, which was quite dizzying. Everything here seemed to him as if he had come to another world.

Even, he found a strange formation in the middle of the underground palace that almost covered the whole tomb.

Look at the middle of the formation, an old floor mirror is placed there quietly. The countless dark blue silk lines around clearly show that the formation is still running.

Because the tomb looked too suspicious, and Ernst thought Malfoy should have walked in front of him, he didn't want to go in and have a closer look.

After a quick walk, Ernst took the broom that accompanied him all the way, hurried through several tombs, and finally stepped into the huge main tomb located in the deepest part of the underground palace.

Then he was completely surprised by the amazing monument which was completely dark.

"This... What is this?"

The main tomb was so big that even the light of the magic wand incantation couldn't reach the top, so when I looked up, I could only see darkness. The huge black stele rose straight from the floor tile of the tomb and disappeared into the dark shadow.

Just as he was standing at the entrance of the tomb and was deeply shocked by the huge stone tablet like ink jade, a voice with incomparable vicissitudes suddenly rang out from his mind. He couldn't understand a word, but he was incredibly able to understand its meaning clearly.

"... uh... Power... You want power..."

After hearing this, Ernst was immediately stunned. Unexpectedly, he involuntarily wanted to go to the stone tablet. That feeling, as if the voice had infinite temptation, made him almost irresistible.

Yes, it's like... Constantly attracting his soul!

At the moment when Ernst suddenly realized this, his pace suddenly stopped. Because he finally found that the current situation was similar to the previous trial in Slytherin's secret room - as long as he stopped, he had to bear an extremely terrible burden, even a second seemed to be stretched dozens of times!

Under the bewitchment of that voice, it has become an extremely difficult thing to stick to your will.

"If it hadn't been for Salazar Slytherin's trial, I'm afraid I would have lost myself now?" Ernst, who was holding his knee and supporting his body, couldn't help thinking, "I just don't know how long this... Will last..."

His knees were shaking and his heart was full of instinctive desire to move forward, but he vaguely understood that he must not let it go here. Intuition told him that if he listened to the bewitchment of that voice, he would really be finished.

"... power... You want... Power..."

In Ernst's senses, the time he tried to maintain his will was as slow and long as the stars, but it was about ten seconds later.

When the moment came when the voice that kept swirling in his head suddenly stopped, he was all soft, and then knelt down on the square floor tile and gasped hard.

"Finally... Is it over? Can you say... This is also a damn test?"

As he gasped, Ernst said intermittently. Of course, he didn't expect anyone to respond to his complaints, but to his surprise, there was a transparent green glow in the darkness above his head.

"Successor, well, you resist the temptation from the soul... If you obey the will of that voice, you will become a walking corpse and lose yourself forever."

Hearing the speech, Ernst was stunned and raised his head.

"Who are you... Salazar Slytherin?"

After he saw the green shadow in the sky and guessed the identity of the other party, he noticed one thing - what the other party said just now was in the language of a snake.

However, his question did not get an answer, because although the figure looked down, it seemed to ignore his meaning at all.

"Just now, you did hold on to the end. The soul mark I branded for you in the secret room also successfully awakened my memory stored in the snake stick."

Slytherin's shadow is just talking to himself, and there is no self-consciousness at all. As he said, this green shadow is just a memory image that he retained thousands of years ago.

But from this sentence, Ernst knew one thing - even if Malfoy had been here before him, he would certainly not be able to awaken Slytherin's magical image, because he obviously wouldn't have the so-called "soul mark".

While Ernst was secretly glad, Slytherin's shadow had continued to say.

"Now, my successor... The person who should die under the stone tablet has been suppressed by me. He can't affect you again in a short time. You can climb to the top of the stone tablet and accept the gift I gave you..."

"Er..."

Ernst was stunned immediately. He looked at the incredibly tall black monument in front of him and the broom in his hand. He couldn't help but be a little more surprised.

"Is it difficult that wizards of that era could fly at will?"

With Slytherin's image, the story of "climbing to the top of the stone tablet" was so easy and natural that Ernst couldn't help feeling that his conjecture might really have some possibility.

After a little exclamation, he jumped onto the broom and flew up to the height of the virtual shadow of Slytherin.

"Oh, oh, oh!"

He didn't expect that it was actually very close to the top of the tomb. Therefore, when he found this, he had to slow down quickly and turn sideways at the same time, so as to barely avoid the tragedy of bumping his head into the vault of the tomb.

At this time, Slytherin's image, which gave the visitor time to climb the top, began to speak again.

"Successor, pull up the jade snake stick I left here. It can help you not be disturbed by the power of the bewitching monument. It can increase the magic you cast and provide you with a certain degree of magic supplement..."

It was time to reap the benefits, and Ernst was particularly excited. He just fell on the top of the huge monument from the flying broom and ran excitedly to the short staff emitting green light. He could clearly see that the so-called "jade snake staff" was being obliquely inserted between several pieces of gravel on the top of the black stone monument.

"Click -"

From hutchpatch's secret room to find the unsolved letter clues, he also went through a lot of efforts all the way.

Whether it's looking up and translating ancient texts, or experiencing trials in the secret room, of course, and the hard flight all the way... Malfoy almost grabbed the last fruit.

To tell you the truth, he can't wait.

Before Slytherin's image was finished, Ernst grabbed the bright green snake stick and pulled it out.

As soon as the snake stick left the black monument, a cold and majestic breath swept across Ernst's body in the blink of an eye. In that breath, there seemed to be a touch of vicissitudes and solitude from ancient times, which made him feel as if he had been swallowed up by an endless darkness.

Soon, Maka, who was still miles away at this time, also noticed this amazing movement.

However, in the next moment, there was a clear and incomparably cold from the snake stick in Ernst's hand, which swept away the terrible feeling just now.

Slytherin's image can't feel what is happening now. And what he said in a snake voice continued——

"Successor, if you accept this gift from me, it means that you will accept my next task. Take my snake stick, read the mantra with me, and give my strength to the snake monster I cultivate -"

At this point, Slytherin's virtual shadow burst into laughter.

"Hiss, hiss, hiss, hiss, hiss, hiss, hiss, hiss, hiss, hiss, hiss, hiss, hiss, hiss, hiss, hiss, hiss, hiss, hiss, hiss, hiss, hiss, hiss, hiss, hiss, hiss, hiss, hiss, hiss, hiss, hiss

At this moment, the huge stone tablet at Ernst's feet shook without warning, as if something was going to break through the earth under the stone tablet. At the same moment, Ernst, who stood on the stone tablet listening to Slytherin's old laughter, immediately looked silly.

"Snake monster?" he said with his mouth half open in amazement. "What ghost is that?"

In the middle of his words, he remembered in the increasingly violent shaking under his feet. Yes, in the secret room, another shadow of Slytherin seems to mention power, gold... And snake monsters

But

"Why didn't you say it earlier, you old bastard with thin beard!" he shouted at Salazar Slytherin, who was still laughing nearby. "This time... This time, I'm afraid you're going to kill him!"

No more swearing, of course, was of no use, so Ernst just vented his anger, immediately jumped onto the broom and soared into the air, regardless of anything, and rushed directly to the tomb path.

Obviously, without that snake monster, his strength alone is determined to be useless. Instead of hesitating here to see what will climb out under the giant monument, it's better to run away as soon as possible. If you're lucky, you may be able to get back a small life.

As Ernst quickly swept to the door of the tomb, even the whole underground palace trembled slightly. At this moment, there was only one thought left in his head——

"Won't you just bury me alive?"
