Chapter 272 The Secret of the World Tree
Snape carried a glass bottle and walked through the deep and dark tunnel.
Next to him was Hagrid Ruburt, and Mr. and Mrs. Weasley.
The Weasleys came to Hogwarts in a hurry, and after discovering that not only their little daughter Ginny had been taken away, but even Ron was missing (it is said that they went to the legendary Slytherin [Chamber of Secrets]).
Almost passed out.
After hearing that Professor Snape and Hagrid knew how to get through the [Chamber of Secrets], they said they had to find it together.
But they face the first difficulty - how to enter the secret room.
After trying unsuccessfully to force Slytherin's portrait (to see if he could use Parseltongue to open the Chamber of Secrets), the group had to figure out how to turn the other into a snake, but luckily succeeded after a few more attempts.
Although they entered the chute, after entering it, several adult wizards immediately noticed something was wrong.
(When sliding down, they immediately stopped at... or stuck at a fork, and they didn't have the magic power to drive them in a clear track direction like Harry and McGuffin.)
The tunnels are criss-crossed, intertwined in a mess like a ball of wool, and it is impossible to tell which one is the correct entrance to the secret room.
"It seems that the passages that are not opened by Parseltongue will only enter the pipes in Hogwarts. This place is like a maze."
Snape muttered to himself, realizing immediately what had happened.
——They need to find a correct path in this maze to reach the so-called [Secret Room].
After thinking for a while, Snape led everyone back to the bathroom on the second floor, found a few spiders and locked them in glass bottles.
They then shrunk their bodies down to the size of a normal mouse.
Including Hagrid, he took his three roosters who crowed the loudest, and said anything to save Harry and the others, so as to redeem his mistake.
"I delivered them to that 'Lockhart' with my own hands!"
Hagrid's big tears kept falling, and he looked even more sad and contrite than Mrs. Weasley.
No way, under the persuasion of the Weasleys, Snape could only agree.
In this way, a group of four, you lead the chicken, I carry the spider, all the way to the secret room, and started a journey of fantasy and dark Hogwarts tunnel maze.
(The spider in the glass bottle can be used as a 'compass' - the opposite direction of the spider's escape is the direction of the basilisk, which is where the [Chamber of Secrets] is located)
……
"Gan!"
Rowena Ravencaraw dropped her cards, looking stiff and cursing.
"——古! My Dawei Tianlong actually lost!"
"Despicable wandering fish!"
The corners of McGuffin's eyes twitched. The lady in front of her was not as wise as the legend said.
Not only was his poker skills poor, but his brand was also extremely poor. After losing, he was full of bad words and complained constantly.
McGuffin had to admit that maybe...really they were a reflection of his inner thoughts.
Exactly the same as myself, yelling when you win, crying when you lose.
After cooling off for a while, McGuffin hurriedly interrupted the thought.
"I beat everyone now! I should have passed the test!" he said to Godric Gryffindor on another table.
When McGuffin was already playing the 'Gwent card' earlier, he had already beaten this guy to autism.
He can only take two bruised eyeballs and the blood hoof of the blue-haired tauren who just punched him twice, and join forces to bully a one-eyed troll.
They are fighting landlords!
"what!"
"What!" Godric Gryffindor asked over his shoulder.
His face is full of notes!
In 2V1, he is still a one-eyed troll, yet he can still play (si).
Where did this guy get the courage to set the test method as playing cards.
MD!
I really don't want to admit that the wizard in front of me is actually made up of a part of my own thinking.
Previously, MacGuffin had also won Hufflepuff's five-finger chess and won a chess victory over Salazar Slytherin.
That's right, it's the kind of Chinese chess with serial guns and double crutches.
McGuffin originally wanted to say that he didn't know the magic chess in the wizarding world, but Salazar Slytherin actually smoked a pipe and took out a set of old Chinese chess.
And that guy is still a stinking chess basket whose level is far beyond McGuffin.
Is this test method real?
McGuffin couldn't believe it... This extremely absurd way is a test.
He is really worthless for Les Finley, the World Tree he wants wholeheartedly, it seems that the Big Four don't care at all.
When Gryffindor was brought out by the one-eyed troll with two kings and three bombs, the guy finally got a note on his forehead, his face was pale, and he began to answer McGuffin's questions tremblingly.
"The old classroom outside preserves our understanding of the nature of magic. We have our own understanding of how to break through the boundaries of magic..."
"I, the original Godric Gryffindor, believed that a person's soul, a person's strongest emotion, will, courage, and persistence in belief are the ways to break through the boundaries of magic..."
"If you choose this test of mine, you will face all kinds of monsters... take various adventures in the Colosseum, and hone your will and heart..."
"What you will get in the end will be the inheritance of Gryffindor's sword. The magic of courage is attached to that sword, which can cut off all evil witchcraft..."
Listening to all this, McGuffin muttered secretly, "Another Gandalf in white robe, is this Nima a big jerk style popular in the wizarding world now?"
"Ravenclaw, she believes that only the most intelligent and knowledgeable people can know all the truths, and only from knowledge and wisdom can they know how to break through the boundaries of magic..."
"Her reward is a book...you can look up almost any Rowenara Venkara's knowledge about magic. And with the addition of each master, the knowledge in that book is constantly being added and upgraded...Only a profound wizard who tirelessly pursues knowledge will pass her test."
"Slytherin studies the blood of all kinds of fantasy creatures. He believes that only by knowing why there are wizards and Muggles among humans, why some creatures are born with magic, and are far more powerful than some human wizards...Only by truly understanding the reasons and principles behind it can we break through the boundaries of magic. His test is the most difficult...The reward is Slytherin's research notes on this aspect."
Godric Gryffindor tells, others nod slightly
"And Hufflepuff her test is the easiest one..."
"She wants to break through the boundaries of magic by understanding, researching, and cultivating the world tree, the most incredible creature that is said to be closest to the essence of magic."
"She is happy with the spread of the World Tree... because this is the most difficult way to break through the boundaries of magic!"
"The more people cultivate the World Tree, the more people study the World Tree to be successful."
"Wait, you mean to say..."
"That's right, it's exactly what you think... Congratulations on becoming a glorious tree planter."
"Plant a tree within a tree and become a master!"
Gryffindor said gloatingly.
He laughed at McGuffin mercilessly, and told him that the legendary world tree needs 3000 years to water, 3000 years to fertilize, and 3000 years to grow...
"Egg! You are a flat peach!" McGuffin faced himself, unable to suppress the desire to complain deep in his heart, and couldn't help saying loudly.
"Uh... I'm just making an analogy."
"But the world tree itself is such a thing. It feeds on the magic power of the caster. The purer and stronger the magic power will make it grow faster. If it is mixed magic power, although it can make it germinate quickly, it is difficult to make it mature. The more mixed the magic power, the slower it will grow. But it is difficult to satisfy the appetite of the world tree with only one's own magic power."
"And the seeds of this strange plant can be reproduced by feeding them with magic power... This is very easy."
"But except for the legendary ones, I have never heard of anyone successfully cultivating an adult World Tree."
"Okay, now get your reward!"
Godric Gryffindor asked McGuffin to close his hands, and the four of them took up their wands, sending a silver light into McGuffin's palm.
As the tavern turned into mist and disappeared, a golden-green light gradually began to glow in the palm of McGuffin.
When a force rushed away from his palm, the Big Four, or the four 'selves' had slowly disappeared in front of McGuffin with a faint smile.
McGuffin felt disappointed.
Only when facing them (himself) can he truly relax.
Only in that bizarre tavern, listening to the familiar shouts, the sound of Bob dealing the cards, the sound of the dwarves drinking and humming... did he feel as if he had returned home.
That familiar sense of nostalgia is still gradually reverberating in his heart.
Now the fog has completely disappeared.
The long river of starry sky is rippling around McGuffin again, which means...
Sure enough... Les Finley's figure gradually appeared in front of McGuffin again.
He asked anxiously, "Did you succeed? Where is the World Tree? Did you know it from the Big Four?"
He asked three times impatiently.
McGuffin opened his hand involuntarily.
The size of an egg, oval in shape, exuding a golden-green light, the world tree seeds that are crystal clear like emeralds slowly float up.
McGuffin recalled the attitude of the Big Four projected in his heart towards the seeds of this world tree... he felt more and more sad and pitiful for Les Finley in front of him.
——The good world tree has become the seed of the world tree in this way!
If you want to eat peaches, you must first plant a tree!
"Now if you tell this guy the truth... this guy, he won't be crazy like this!"
……
Harry felt like he was going crazy now.
He watched Fawkes die in the mouth of the basilisk to save them.
Not only because he couldn't help Dumbledore...but also because he saw the scene of Phoenix's sacrifice, an unquenchable anger burned in his heart.
Voldemort, no, this fellow Tom Riddle has taken too many innocent lives.
Can't let him go on like this.
But even if the basilisk is blind, it is not something they can easily deal with.
Its fangs, its huge size, and its thick scaly armor are not something a little wizard like them can easily defeat.
Now he can only get into the huge mouths of snake heads on both sides of [Snake Road] with Ron and Hermione, and run into the dark tunnel.
The blue-green light of the [Fluorescent Curse] kept flickering in the darkness, and they could hear the sound of the basilisk scales rubbing against the ground behind them.
Swish, swipe, squeak, squeak.
Sometimes the tunnels above their heads vibrated slightly, and the basilisk almost caught up with them.
Ron almost ran out of breath, and now his lungs are like an old bellows, panting rapidly, and they are broken.
—Huffing and snorting.
"I-I-run...not moving anymore!"
"Don't stop!" said Hermione, and they were now bending over momentarily, hands on knees, gasping slowly.
They seemed to have temporarily thrown off the basilisk, and finally they could no longer hear the accompanying friction sound behind them.
Ron gasped for breath twice, and now he was finally able to speak a complete sentence continuously.
"Hermione, can't you conjure a rooster like a MacGuffin?"
"If this goes on, we'll definitely be done!"
Ron grumbled.
Hermione rolled her eyes and ignored it. She could see Harry's sadness and comforted her, "Harry, don't worry! That's a phoenix. It's immortal. She will be reborn from the ashes."
"Good guy! Harry, when the basilisk pulls down the shit, you can look for it, maybe you can see the picture of the phoenix reborn from it!"
Ron was obviously resentful that Hermione ignored him, so he described a very interesting picture description.
This made Harry laugh out loud (he bit the back of his hand and shook it so that the basilisk would not be attracted by his laughter).
Laughing and laughing... Harry's face stiffened as he thought about it...it could still happen.
"Have you smelled it? What does it smell like?" Ron sniffed his nose suddenly, twitching, and asked the two people in front of him.
"It's the smell of sewers!" Hermione said angrily.
But then she also smelled a rotten smell, a familiar stench.
"No way!" The three of Harry almost shouted softly at the same time, as if they felt that they already knew what it was.
They proceeded cautiously along the direction of the smell, stopping from time to time to listen to the sound of the basilisk wandering in the tunnel.
As they walked along the tunnel, Harry and the others found that there were often little black mice with eyes rolled under their feet, legs up and their stomachs quivering constantly.
After turning another corner and passing through two tunnels, the trio of Tiewa came to an unusually spacious cave.
This is a cylindrical space, and McGuffin saw that the entrances of many tunnels converged here.
—Maybe they can find another way out through here.
Harry thought.
But then he realizes that's not the point...
What's down there, at the bottom of this cylindrical space, is what really matters.
——The green vines are densely entwined and squirming, just like a snake as thick as an arm is spreading and entangled.
Very penetrating.
There is a flower in the middle... a flower that Harry and the others are very familiar with,
--'Rafflesia'!
Most importantly, Harry saw an old diary placed in the very center, that is, in the heart of the Rafflesia flower. It looked ordinary, but was tightly entangled by the surrounding vines along the edges.
It's like guarding, protecting this.
If the McGuffin was here, he would recognize it at a glance. It was Tom Riddle's notebook, which was Voldemort's Horcrux.
