Chapter 56 In the name of Slytherin, Shidun takes action!

The young wizards of Slytherin House enjoyed delicious food and chatted with friends until late at night. s⃞ h⃞ u⃞ x⃞ .⃞ c⃞ o⃞ m⃞

When the hands on the clock jumped to "eleven", most of the students in the lounge had dispersed, and only a few scattered couples were still chatting in the corner.

"Good night."

"Sweet dreams."

Les and Daphne said good night to each other and returned to their respective dormitories. About half an hour later, Les returned to the common room - tonight was Halloween, and he couldn't sleep at all.

In Rice's time, there was no obvious barrier between the world of the sun and the underworld as it is now. Every Halloween was a bitter battle between the living and the undead. Over time, Les also developed the habit of staying up all night on Halloween. Now that he was suddenly asked to go to bed on time, he couldn't sleep.

Les, who was suffering from insomnia, wanted to come to the lounge and read for a while. But after walking out of the dormitory door, he suddenly remembered that every Halloween, the dark creatures imprisoned in the dungeon would become active and become less honest. Although no monster has broken through the seal in thousands of years, he should go to the seal to fulfill his obligations. Even if it is just to clean up a few monsters that escaped from the cell, it would be great.

At this time, the lounge was empty, only the fire in the fireplace was crackling.

After making the decision, Les did not set off in a hurry, but first used the remaining fire of the fireplace to boil a pot of tea. After drinking the tea as quickly as possible, Rice used the remaining tea leaves to do a divination for tonight's itinerary - this was something he learned from a divination book called "Looking Through the Fog to See the Future" Tea fortune telling.

Looking at the divination results in the tea cup, which symbolized "ominous", Les raised his eyebrows: Ominous? Then it is even more necessary to go there.

The poor divination results did not dampen Les's interest, but made him even more excited.

If the divination result is accurate, it means that there is a big mess within the dungeon's seal, and it is my duty as the founder of the school to suppress the seal.

But before going to the dungeon, Les felt he needed to leave something behind.

He spread out a piece of parchment on the table, and after writing a few paragraphs, he felt that it was a bit verbose, so he simply balled it up and threw it into the fireplace, and rewrote a very brief note.

After putting the note into his own purse and sealing the purse containing all his wealth with a spell, Les left the purse on the table and left the common room.

The Slytherin House common room was very close to the dungeons, but instead of going directly to the dungeons, Les headed upstairs - he wanted to bring a few helpers with him.

The current headmaster of Hogwarts, Dumbledore, is very capable, but Rice has no intention of calling him over. The reason is simple. Dumbledore has a very special meaning to Hogwarts and the wizarding world. If an accident occurs in the dungeon, Dumbledore's sudden disappearance will also have a very bad impact and make the situation get out of control.

Hogwarts needs a principal, and the wizarding world also needs such a flag. The most important thing is that with himself as the founder, it is not his turn yet.

[Snake King, show up and obey my instructions]

Standing in a hidden corner, Rice summoned the basilisk he kept in the secret room. At the same time, he pulled out his wand and pointed at several stone beasts serving as decorations in the corner of the corridor.

These stone beasts are the oldest stone sculptures in Hogwarts and have existed since the school was founded. They are part of the school's defense system, and only headmasters recognized by Hogwarts have the authority to command them.

Of course, so can Les.

"In the name of Slytherin, Stone Dun, obey my command."

Several stone beasts came to life, came to Les with heavy steps, and accepted his command. At the same time, Les heard a faint hissing sound, and he knew that the snake king had also arrived.

After gathering his assistants, Rice headed straight to the dungeon.

Outside the dungeon's seal, Les broke through the wall of the corridor and blasted a large gap in the pipe buried inside, allowing the basilisk to crawl out.

The terrain within the seal is just right for it to function.

After thinking that he was fully prepared, Les opened the seal of the dungeon, used the stone beasts as the vanguard, let the basilisk behind him, and drove them in with big strides.

After the basilisk's body completely stepped into the seal, the walls that formed the seal reappeared, sealing the corridor leading to the ground tightly.

After walking into the seal, Les noticed something strange: the magic power inside was much more active than the last time he came here, and it also had a cold air unique to the underworld.

Sure enough, there was trouble within the seal.

Without any hesitation, Les walked directly towards the depths of the dungeon.

The deeper you go, the lower the temperature becomes, and eventually white frost even appears on the walls. This is the favorite environment for dark creatures.

…

Plop! Plop!

Several gray wolf-like creatures were cut in half by Les and quickly turned into handfuls of ashes. Behind him, traces of ashes were everywhere in the corridor.

Put the stone beast in front of you as a human shield, and then use the basilisk's gaze to exert strong control on the monster. With this two-pronged approach, most of the monsters that encounter Rice will be killed instantly.

However, this guy in front of him is a little bit tricky - unless the core of the Ash Demon is defeated, it will be useless to destroy any number of clones. At this time, the Ashes on the ground are already showing signs of regrouping.

Les closed his eyes and carefully sensed the magic fluctuations in the air, trying to find clues left by the monster's core.

Soon, his mind moved and he grabbed the key clues from the chaotic fluctuations of magic power. He immediately drove the stone beast and the basilisk towards the corresponding direction.

Before taking action, he waved his wand suddenly, and a whirlwind immediately swept up in the corridor, and the slowly merging ashes were suddenly scattered again.

However, while tracking the Ash Core, Rice felt an eerie familiarity emerge in his mind. He stopped to identify it carefully, and then he really found a familiar magic rhyme.

It's the feeling of wind.

Specifically, Rice sensed a hint of an old friend in it.

A trace of surprise flashed in Les's eyes, and he couldn't help but quicken his pace.

The closer you get to the hiding place of the Ash Demon's core, the more obvious this familiar magic power fluctuation becomes. Finally, when Les came to an underground grotto, the two reached their peak together.

When the four Les men built the dungeon, they did not use 100% manual mining. Instead, they cleverly made use of part of the naturally formed underground caves and the naturally formed cracks between the caves. They widened these narrow passages and reinforced the caves to build extremely large dungeons.

So once you get really deep into the dungeon, you will occasionally encounter very open areas, and this is one of them right in front of you.

Les raised his wand and led the stone beast and basilisk into the cave in front, and then he felt a shock from the bottom of his heart.
