v2 Chapter 45： Slytherin's test

"The day of the draw at Hogwarts(

Tom and Hermione are back on the hill outside Hogwarts again. This time, when they saw the hair crown in their hands and the cross necklace on it, the two had completely different feelings.

Hermione put them away carefully.

"Tom, you said what we just went through..."

"It may be a real history, but in the real world, Ben and Elaine have a high probability of failing to fulfill each other's requirements... That's why the image just now." Tom said the closest speculation to the truth .

Hermione looked at the night sky, a little sighed.

"It's a little cold, let's go back." She suggested, and then turned back to the tunnel first.

When the two returned to the secret room, they realized that it seemed that they had just entered the curfew, so they could only stay in the secret room.

"Hermione, come here!" Tom called Hermione to the elevator mechanism, stood up with her, and led her to the cabin where Slytherin had left.

"This may be the treasure left by Salazar Slytherin. I'll go and test it first. Don't touch this door. I'm afraid there is a mechanism on it. If you get into it, you will be in trouble."

Hermione frowned when she heard there was something wrong, "Then why don't you find Professor Dumbledore..."

"No need." Tom shook his head. In the final analysis, it was the greed in his heart that he wanted to enjoy this secret treasure alone. If Dumbledore gets involved, how much benefit can he give himself? Fifty points for Ravenclaw?

And the confidence that he dared to explore alone lies in the trump card of Nirvana and his analysis of the secret room.

What is the secret room for? It was used for teaching at the beginning, but the use changed later, but it was also left to his heirs by Slytherin. In other words, this place is more like a novice gift package left by the predecessors to the younger generation, how can there be any traps left? More should be a test.

Basilisks are deadly, but to see a basilisk requires you to speak Parseltongue. But you speak Parseltongue, and by Slytherin's will, the Basilisk will follow your instructions and won't hurt you. This basilisk is more like a "pet" that Slytherin left to his descendants

There is even a feeling of a five-star magic pet, click and send.

Tom looked at the door now, and felt that the level of danger was not very high. Imagine a Slytherin heir came to the Chamber of Secrets and found this door, he touched it and died.

Isn't this nonsense! Why did Slytherin kill his own heir?

Tom predicts that the punishment for this door will be to trap you or banish you at best. If that's the case, then there's nothing to be afraid of.

"I'll go test it first. If I don't come out by tomorrow, you can go to Professor Dumbledore." After analyzing his judgment on the door, Tom and Hermione prepared to enter and explore the place behind the door. space.

However, before entering, he still said in Parseltongue, "Junior meets the greatest Slytherin of the Big Four", after that, he stretched out his hand and touched the silver door.

The moment he touched the door, he felt that the door didn't feel like metal, but more like some kind of liquid, and then a suction came from the door, pulling Tom in at once.

After entering, Tom was taken aback because there was a person sitting cross-legged in front of him!

The distance between the two was no more than three meters, and he could even see every strand of that person's hair clearly.

After Tom took a closer look at the man's appearance, he was even more shocked: he was exactly the same as the Slytherin stone sculpture outside!

Is Slytherin still alive? Such thoughts flashed through Tom's mind, but didn't Slytherin leave Hogwarts after a conflict with Gryffindor? Could it be that he sneaked back?

Tom had no room to think further, he hurriedly saluted and bowed to Slytherin.

Slytherin, who was sitting cross-legged, opened his eyes. He was obviously just an ugly old man, but he gave off a strong sense of oppression, and a cold sweat broke out on Tom's back.

"Has someone come to be tested again... Go up." Slytherin's voice sounded less like a human voice, more like a snake talking. Behind every word is the hissing sound of a snake exhaling.

Slytherin's tone was calm, without a trace of emotional fluctuations. Tom gave him a strange look, always feeling strange, Tom even had a feeling that the thing in front of him should not be the real Slytherin.

After thinking about this, Tom was able to forgive the surrounding environment: the structure of the room behind the door is very simple, it is more a stairwell than a room, with only a small platform and a staircase hidden in the golden smoke . "Slytherin" was sitting on the platform, and it was clear what he meant: he wanted Tom to go up the stairs.

Tom had just stepped up the stairs when he heard Slytherin's voice say behind him: "Let me see your talent."

When Tom's feet landed on the first stairway, the scene before him suddenly changed. Tom was in an open room with three tables.

Tom walked to the first table and found that there were several small jars and a cauldron on it. There was also a formula beside the table. Tom looked over and found that it was a very basic way to prepare potions.

Tom quickly prepared the potion.

Then he walked to the next table, and found it was a simple little spell that Tom cast with little effort.

On the third table is a rune carving tool and an hourglass. As soon as Tom picked up the carving knife, the hourglass started timing. The test on this table was to carve runes for a limited time.

When Tom finished carving, his eyes flashed, the stairs appeared in front of him again, and he had successfully stood on the first step. Tom found that he could not remember the contents of the trial in the first room, but only vaguely remembered the general category of the trial.

"Potion, spell and rune..." Tom understood Slytherin's thinking, and he wanted to test the talent of his heir from these three aspects. The formula of the potion, the main points of the magic spell and the texture of the magic text are all unfamiliar, and those who need to participate in the trial must learn and take the test by themselves. It is true that the knowledge reserve is not tested very much, but the talent and understanding are tested.

Fortunately, the first level is very simple.

Next, Tom passed the three-level test one after another, but at the fourth level, he timed out when carving runes. So in the fifth-level room, the table representing alchemy disappeared.

Tom felt a little regretful: he actually had the confidence to carve that rune, but unfortunately he didn't have enough time.

In the seventh room, there was also a problem with Tom's potion, so in the eighth room only the table representing the spell was left. But at this time, the spell on the table is also more and more black magic. Tom thought his trial was coming to an end, but since the topic was biased towards black magic, he went all the way...

It ended up all the way to the end of the stairs.

There is also a Slytherin sitting at the end of the stairs, but this Slytherin's expression is much more vivid.

Seeing Tom come up, he gave an ugly smile.

"At last someone else passed the test I left behind and came before the great Slytherin. As a reward to you, I grant you to sit before me."

A cushion of the same style as Slytherin appeared in front of Tom, and Tom sat on it after bowing to Slytherin.

"You must have a lot of questions, ask them." Slytherin saw a lot of confusion and confusion in Tom's heart.

"This question is a bit presumptuous, but I still want to ask, how did you survive until now? Horcrux?"

Slytherin seemed to be insulted, "Horcrux? You really underestimate me. Using a Horcrux to gain immortality is something I disdain. Of course, if you want to learn it, I can teach it too. you."

"You shouldn't be a student of Slytherin House, are you?" Slytherin saw Tom's distrust of him.

"I'm from Ravenclaw Academy." Now Tom is just glad that he didn't enter Gryffindor, otherwise he might be kicked out directly. UU reading www. uukanshu.com

"That's right, students from the other two colleges can't pass my previous test, but based on your performance in the assessment just now, it's a pity not to enter Slytherin. I don't need to lie to you, this form is indeed not a soul device."

"Then you are..."

"Just a doll with Slytherin memories. The other three guys should have left something similar - but probably not that **** in Gryffindor." Slytherin did not go further on the topic. , "Come on, since you have passed the test, you can choose an inheritance from me."

"Has anyone passed the test before me?" Tom didn't rush to choose inheritance, but asked another seemingly irrelevant question.

"No, someone was one step away from seeing me before, but he also got enough benefits."

"I see. Great Slytherin, I want knowledge from you."

"This tone is really like Ravenclaw." Slytherin complained, and then a small table appeared by his hand, with three rolls of parchment and a silver snake statue on it, "These three rolls of parchment are all I have collected valuable esoteric knowledge, just pick one."

"As for this little snake, you take it to another room, stick it on the door, and you can learn a spell."

Slytherin pushed the small table in front of Tom and said nothing.

Tom looked at the small table and tried to tell the difference between the three rolls of parchment, but failed, all three of them looked identical in appearance, very ordinary. The scrolls are somewhat yellowish in appearance. They have been preserved for a thousand years in a secret room, and they are still intact. This is the most extraordinary thing about them.

Finally, Tom picked up the scroll in the middle.
