Chapter 649： Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets

Chapter 649 Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets

Everyone bypassed the snake skin and continued to go deep into the tunnel.

Turned several turns ahead, and finally came to the end of the tunnel. It was a solid wall carved with two intertwined snakes.

Albert took a step forward, looked at the emeralds in the snake's eyes, and muttered softly: "It's actually an emerald, really rich."

Although it is only a preliminary polished finished product, such gemstones are also very valuable.

"Very valuable?" Someone asked.

Everyone turned their heads to look at the owner of the voice. Ron, who was a little embarrassed by everyone's stare, shrank back, trying to reduce his sense of existence.

"It's still worth it, but you can't take it away, otherwise this door won't be able to open." Albert took a step back and gave Harry his seat.

"Open."

Harry looked into the snake's eyes, cleared his throat, and said in a low, hoarse hiss.

As soon as the words fell, the two snakes separated on the wall, and the stone wall split from the middle, and slowly slid to the sides and disappeared.

"This technique is not bad."

Albert felt that if he had the opportunity, it would be best to master this technique, which would definitely come in handy in the future. He never disliked the many skills he had mastered.

"go in!"

Harry walked into the secret room first, and everyone immediately followed.

Entering the Chamber of Secrets, they found themselves standing on one side of a long, dimly lit room.

There are many stone pillars engraved with coiled and entangled snakes around. The towering stone pillars disappear into the darkness on the heights, casting treacherous black shadows on the room filled with green and mysterious atmosphere.

Albert waved his wand lightly, and several **** of light flew out from the top of the wand, suspended above everyone's heads, instantly dispelling the surrounding darkness.

After the darkness disappeared, the outline of the secret room was revealed, and everyone's eyes were quickly attracted by the corpse of the basilisk not far away.

"You ruined the atmosphere of the adventure." Fred grumbled and complained in a low voice, and began to look at the Slytherin-style chamber of secrets.

"In order to raise a basilisk, would someone really create such a place?" Hermione was shocked by Slytherin's generous design, the area here is not inferior to the school auditorium.

"I always feel that Slytherin has a monkey face." Lee Jordan took a photo of the statue in front of him and teased in a low voice.

At the end of the pillar, there was a statue as tall as the room itself, the face of a Slytherin, with a long, sparse beard that trailed almost to the hem of the wizard's robes carved in stone,

As Lee Jordan said, the old Slytherin had a monkey face.

The corners of Albert's mouth rose slightly, trying not to let himself laugh out loud, and Fred and George next to him couldn't help laughing out loud, not caring that the object of their teasing was Slytherin.

"However, this basilisk is really big." Ron swallowed his saliva and said with emotion, "Harry, you are really amazing."

"No, I was able to kill it, more luck." Harry felt lingering fear as long as he recalled the original battle.

It is really luck to be able to kill the basilisk.

"The eyes should have been pecked blind by Fox!" Albert glanced at the cracked eyes of the basilisk, and his eyes fell on the fangs that fell on the ground. He took out dragon leather gloves from his pocket and put them on before bending down. Pick up from the ground the fang Harry used to pierce Riddle's journal.

"Is this thing valuable?" Ron's voice sounded again.

"It should be very valuable!" Albert put the basilisk's fangs into the wooden box, put them away again, and said to Ron who was about to pull out the teeth from the basilisk's mouth, "However, be careful, the basilisk's Teeth are highly poisonous, if poisoned..."

"Tears of the phoenix are needed to cure the poison!" Harry said first.

"The tears of the phoenix are very precious. Ninety-nine out of ten people who are poisoned will die directly." Albert ignored Ron and began to look at the secret room. His eyes fell on the statue of Slytherin. He took a few steps forward and walked to He raised his hand and tapped on the mouth of the statue, then turned to Harry and said, "There should be a secret room here, open it!"

"Open!"

Harry opened his mouth and hissed, but this time it failed.

Failed?

Harry was a little surprised.

"The password is incorrect." Albert was considering whether to blow up the entrance.

"I remember Voldemort saying something, and the basilisk came out of Slytherin's mouth." Harry recalled.

"What did Tom say?" Albert asked.

"It was… an emergency, I forgot," Harry stammered. He really forgot, at the moment of life and death, who would remember these things.

"If you heard it at the time, I can use some special methods to find a way to open the secret room." Albert said to Harry: "Of course, you may not like the way."

"How?" Harry asked.

"Legiliency, what happened in the last two days, we will soon find out." Albert looked into Harry's eyes, raised his wand, and said before Harry agreed, "Then I will start: God takes it!"

Before Harry could resist, the surroundings disappeared before his eyes.

A few days ago, the image of himself confronting Voldemort appeared in his mind. After he heard the password Tom had used, his vision returned to normal.

Harry was still in a daze.

"What's the password?" Albert asked.

Most of the people were stunned, not understanding what happened in the few seconds just now.

"What did you do?" Hermione couldn't help asking.

"Legiligens, you can look through the memories in other people's minds." Albert explained casually, "Because it happened in the past few days, you can find it quickly."

"Looking through memories?" Hermione repeated.

"You can think of it as mind reading." Albert said without thinking.

"I hate this feeling!" Harry muttered.

"No one will like it." Albert urged: "Open it!"

"Speak to me, Slytherin—the greatest of the Hogwarts Big Four."

Slytherin's gigantic stone face moved, its mouth opened, and grew wider and wider until it formed a gigantic black hole.

Albert felt that he might have guessed where the inspiration for the Dark Mark came from. He waved his wand, letting the ball of light fly into the cave first, illuminating the inside.

"I really don't know why Slytherin has such a weird idea." Ron looked at the door that opened at the mouth, and quickly followed the team into the passage.

Behind the stone carving is an open space, the location is not too big, it was probably excavated specially for the basilisk to inhabit and hibernate.

"What are you looking for?"

Hermione looked at Albert who was looking around, and couldn't help asking.

"Find the real secret of Slytherin." Albert signaled everyone to leave here first, and he made sure there were no other secret doors around.

In fact, Albert didn't think that Slytherin would hide the secret door here. If he came out and bumped into the basilisk's eyes, he would have killed himself first.

"The real chamber of secrets, you mean this is not Slytherin's chamber of secrets?" Harry was very interested in what Albert said.

"Probably—there's nothing here."

Both Fred and George felt that they had guessed the reason. Just like Hermione said, no one would deliberately make such a place to raise snakes.

"In the beginning, I'm afraid this place was also used for refuge." Albert said his analysis.

"Asylum?"

"At that time, the relationship between Muggles and wizards was not good." After coming out of Slytherin's mouth, Albert began to look around again, looking for places with traces of magic.

"Is there really a secret room here?"

Albert turned his attention to the solid cave wall again, stared at the cave wall for a moment, and said softly, "Yes, I found it."

"How do you know there is a secret room here?"

Everyone looked at the stone wall on one side of the statue, but couldn't see anything.

"Magic always leaves traces, as long as you observe carefully, it is not difficult to find." Albert pointed to a certain position on the wall, turned his head and said to the people behind him: "I need blood."

"Blood?"

"Yes, a little blood is enough. It must be the blood of a pure-blood wizard!" Albert pointed to a relatively smooth stone and said to the three Weasleys behind him. : "Whoever you come, a little bit will be fine."

The three hesitated for a while, and finally decided that George would be the bloodletter. He took the silver needle from Albert, pricked it between his index fingers, and then wiped the blood on the position designated by Albert.

A dazzling white arch appeared on the wall of the cave, and the blood-stained rock in the arch suddenly disappeared, revealing a doorway.

"Wow, that's okay!"

Everyone felt incredible.

"Why do you need pure blood?" Harry couldn't help asking.

"Slytherin is a pure-blood." Albert walked in first, and there was an upward stone step in the door opening.

"Where does this lead to?" Hermione's voice trembled, probably because she was too excited. This adventure simply exceeded her imagination.

"We'll find out soon!"

Saying that, they walked through the stairs and entered a room.

It's just that this place seems to be a little bit beyond their imagination. There are a lot of decayed bookshelves and parchment around, and dense texts are carved on the marble walls.

"This is…"

"Probably Slytherin's magic research!"

Before, Albert thought that Slytherin left the knowledge on the basilisk, but after thinking about it, he denied this possibility, "This is the real Slytherin's secret room."
