Chapter 182 Let the plot go to hell!

But Harry didn't get an answer, even though he asked the question to the other four.

Although Ron vaguely said that his eldest brother Bill Weasley once told him about the Chamber of Secrets in Hogwarts, that was all he remembered; Hermione and Chang Chu had no idea of ​​the existence of the Chamber of Secrets. , and this is also the knowledge reserve that normal students should have.

As for Wright, he didn't really want to answer Harry's questions now. After all, he had never been the kind of confidant brother who answered all questions. Besides, leaving the Harry trio to decipher the secrets of Hogwarts alone is the normal direction of the adventure plot.

After comforting Chang Chu, who looked a little worried, and sending him back to the Ravenclaw girls' dormitory to rest, Wright rushed to the third floor without stopping.

Since someone dared to joke about his cat and made Chang Chu so panicked, Wright didn't mind joking with him directly.

"Lemon ice cream."

In front of the entrance to the principal's office on the third floor, Wright recalled the password that Professor McGonagall had inadvertently exposed last month. Fortunately, Dumbledore doesn't seem to have changed his tastes much recently, and the password in the principal's office is still the same.

Even more fortunately, when Wright knocked on the door and walked into the headmaster's office, Dumbledore was there.

"Wright?" Dumbledore put down the quill in his hand and looked at Wright who walked into the principal's office with slight confusion. "If I remember correctly, we met downstairs just now. At this time, you Shouldn’t we stay in the Ravenclaw dormitory and rest?”

"That's how it is," Wright said.

"Originally?" Dumbledore looked even more confused.

"Well, yes." Wright nodded, "There is an old saying that goes well, the more you think about it, the angrier it becomes, and the more you think about it when you step back, the more you lose. So I'm here."

"..." Dumbledore scratched his beard, "If I remember correctly, Wright seems to have changed the proverb."

"None of this is important," Wright said nonchalantly.

"Then what is important?" Dumbledore said cheerfully, "Is it worth putting aside your rest time and going to the principal's office to chat and joke with me, an old man?"

"The Chamber of Secrets." Wright tossed out a word lightly, "Or to be more precise, Salazar Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets."

Dumbledore suppressed the smile on his face, but before he could speak, the principal's paintings hanging on the wall began to whisper.

Wright continued: "Based on historical records that are almost impossible to verify thousands of years ago, after the establishment of Hogwarts, Salazar Slytherin hoped to limit the enrollment of Hogwarts to magical families, or in other words In a pure wizarding family, Slytherin is unwilling to accept Muggle children because he thinks they are unreliable..."

Before Wright could finish speaking, Dumbledore suddenly raised a question and interrupted him.

"Wright, do you think Slytherin's approach is correct..." Dumbledore paused, because he found that the question he just asked seemed to be somewhat misleading, so he changed his mind again, "What about Slytherin's approach?" ?”

"Well, I think what he did makes sense." Wright gave an answer that was completely unexpected by Dumbledore without hesitation.

"Is there any reason?" Dumbledore adjusted his glasses and asked calmly.

"There are two reasons," Wright said.

"First, although there are no specific picture or video records, according to my understanding, there is no doubt that the living standards of wizards thousands of years ago were much higher than ordinary people at that time for more than one era. There is no doubt about it. Yes, Slytherin must have come from an ancient wizard family, which means that Slytherin was considered a true noble at that time."

"As a pure-blooded wizard who is born noble, he is incompatible with those civilians whose intelligence, living ability, ideological concepts, etc. are not on the same level at all. The civilians at that time were not like they are now. To put it bluntly, If you are too polite, you are a real person living in the mud.”

"So, as a Slytherin, it is completely tenable to give the statement of 'unwilling to accept Muggle-born students'."

Dumbledore nodded, the first reason was quite reasonable.

"However, Slytherin's discrimination against Muggles was considered unusual and misleading by most people in his era, because wizards of Muggle origin were not only more easily accepted by the public, but were often I think he's extremely talented," Wright added.

Dumbledore nodded again.

"But those are not the reasons why I approve of what he's doing," Wright said. "It's the second reason why I approve of what he's doing."

"At that time, except for wizards who were born with freedom of belief, there was only one belief in the outside world, and that was the Holy Religion. Education, marriage, labor, entertainment, food, medical care... It can be said that the Holy Religion It is present almost throughout the lives of all civilians, from birth to death.”

"So that means, if nothing else happens, almost every young wizard with a Muggle origin will be a potential member of the Holy Cult, or a very devout believer." Wright said, "As for the relationship between wizards and the Holy Cult , I don’t need to mention it anymore, right?”

"So in that era, what was the problem with Slytherin proposing such methods?" Wright said, "Although these may not be fair to those little wizards who were born from ordinary people, in my opinion, this kind of method from the root The method of solving the problem will generally bring more benefits than disadvantages to the entire wizarding world. "

"What a shocking speech." Dumbledore took off his half-moon glasses, took out a piece of lens cloth from somewhere and wiped them before putting them back on.

Until this moment, Dumbledore's face no longer had the joking look on his face when he was dealing with Wright. In other words, from this moment on, he has regarded Wright as an adult wizard with completely sound and mature thinking ability.

"Wright, you can continue talking about the Chamber of Secrets," Dumbledore said.

"Wait a minute, Albus." A certain deputy principal's painting on the wall suddenly made a voice. Wright knew who the person who spoke was, Phineas Nigellus Black, the most famous person in the history of Hogwarts. Unpopular principal.

"Although I am very optimistic about what the child said just now, I have to say that the so-called Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets does not exist at all." Phineas said, "The so-called terrifying things placed in the Chamber of Secrets, There is no secret room, no monster, and no evidence that Lord Salazar ever built such a room."

"Moreover, the school has also investigated whether there is such a secret room. We investigated many times. Each time we invited the most knowledgeable wizards at the time, but still found nothing." Phineas said.

"What if I not only know where the secret room is, but also what the thing in the secret room is, and also know who opened the secret room today and wrote those words on the wall?" Wright said calmly. said.

At this moment, Wright had already decided to overturn the table.

If you mess with my cat, I will kill you!

go to hell! Tom Riddle in his school days!

You don’t have to live until next summer!
