Chapter 238 Breaking into the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets
How does it feel to be officially taking over the Warriors in the Trifinals?
Needless to say! It's just fantastic!
Today's second advertising campaign has been put out, and tomorrow's third event in the top three competition should be regarded as a preview... If I don't make it back in time in July, Professor Dumbledore will personally assist you.
Let the greatest white wizard of this era assist me... Only you can do it...
Me? No, Dumbledore didn't do that because of me. You have to understand this-this performance is to make all ordinary wizards no longer feel afraid and uneasy about Voldemort's attack again. Deng Bullido is for all wizards in the British wizarding world, and you should also perform well for this...
Yeah! I can understand that true popularity is based on people's trust...
On June 23, when everyone was discussing the new full-page advertisement in the Daily Prophet, Maca and Lockhart were in the basement of Hogwarts Castle, in Snape's office Talk secretly.
Tomorrow is the day for the start of the third event of the Trifinals, but Maca, who is one of the protagonists, has given this opportunity to Gilderoy Lockhart.
When Voldemort's forces focused their attention on the Trifinals and the grand event in July, they never expected that it was just an eye-catching cover made by Maca.
When the compound decoction is about to run out, remember to come here to replenish it in advance, so as not to make a mistake.
After finishing speaking, Maca stood up and left without hesitation.
The reason why he spent so much time in attracting the attention of others was to create an opportunity to find a real solution to the buried place of the Bewitching Monument.
The method in Book of Sin is too negative, perhaps for that him, it is indeed justifiable; but for the current Maca, even if a thing that does not know when it will explode remains In the hands of others, it is too insecure.
After repeated analysis, Maca put aside Rowena's Bronze Eagle and North America's Phantom Swamp, the two most direct clues, but also the clues that do not touch are repeatedly reminded in the book, and chose...
Hogwarts Castle, second floor, girls' bathroom in disrepair.
Oh—Mr. McLean, long time no see—
Maca had just pushed open the door of the bathroom, and immediately saw the crying Myrtle rushing up to him, sobbing and greeting him.
Ok.
Maca nodded casually, and walked straight towards the sink that was the entrance to the Slytherin chamber.
Yes, the Book of Sins mentions the information that the Monument of Bewitching was sealed by Salazar Slytherin, and it doesn't say that there is any danger in this clue, obviously this is a relatively safe way to explore the Monument of Bewitching way.
And if there was anything to do with Salazar Slytherin, it was the Chamber of Secrets.
Although Maca searched carefully last time, he didn't find anything at that time, and later he collapsed the secret room.
I have to say, that behavior is really ironic to him now...
Maca drew out her wand and pointed at the faucet.
Immediately, the faucet seemed to be alive, and suddenly stretched automatically, turning into a silver snake and attacking Maca, the speed was no less than the attack of any spell.
But Maca's hand holding the wand did not tremble at all. He stared at the oncoming silver snake and increased the output of magic power.
This is a metamorphosis duel that has spanned the ages. If there are others who can sense magic power, they will definitely find that the fluctuation of magic power here has surpassed the normal intensity of casting spells.
Maca's expression was serious - he could feel that, even after a thousand years, the power of Salazar Slytherin still frightened him a little.
Weeping Myrtle covered her mouth, and she forgot to sob.
Although she couldn't perceive the real situation, even the silver snake's surprise attack made her feel a little overwhelmed. After the opening of the secret room last time and the silver snake's counterattack this time, she may not dare to stay here anymore.
As time passed, the silver snake expanded under Maca's pressure, together with the sink below, and the secret room was finally forcibly opened by him.
It seems that the magic power is really not enough...
While muttering in a low voice, he leapt forward and jumped into the huge exposed pipe.
It has been a long time since the last time I came down here, but the terrain here has not changed in any way. It wasn't until he was standing at the door of the real Slytherin room that he sighed slightly.
The stone door had been closed automatically when he left last time, and to open it, he had to rely on Parseltongue.
Originally, Maca intended to blast open it directly, but judging from the opening of the entrance before, he had to admit that he might not be able to crack the stone door with violence.
No, maybe you can try.
Maca stretched out his wand and pointed forward, the magic power turned into silk threads, and a rule rune was quietly outlined on the tip of the wand. For a moment, the surroundings were filled with cold air, and the area around Maca's body was immediately coated with a layer of silver frost within tens of feet.
The next moment, he waved his wand back, and the cooling power concentrated on the rule runes went straight to the stone gate. The stone gate and the surrounding stone walls turned into a strange pure white in an instant.
Crack Crack——
Following a series of subtle cracking sounds from the stone gate, the entire stone gate cracked into white fragments of various sizes under the extremely low temperature.
Maca waved away the rule runes, and then took a deep breath to relieve the sense of exhaustion caused by the rapid consumption of mana.
After taking a break, he looked up, and the scene in the secret room was already as he expected—it was a ruined building with a lot of stones piled up.
But the situation inside was not as serious as he had imagined earlier.
Using the floating spell to push aside the rocks blocking the way, Maca walked into the secret room and looked up, and nodded secretly.
At the beginning, he moved some hands and feet on the supporting pillars inside, and blasted a section of the pillars that the basilisk did not knock down, making them gradually unable to bear their own weight and collapsed.
But obviously, those pillars are only used to support the stone ceiling above it, and the structure of the secret room itself is not stabilized by pillars at all.
At that time, he just took off a layer of shell for the inside of this secret room.
So, the decision back then was absolutely correct... Maca said, raising his wand again, and projecting a beam of light.
As the light illuminated the secret room little by little, a dark hole that was at most two people's height quietly appeared in the distance.
Looking at the location, it should be behind the huge statue of Salazar Slytherin back then.
No matter what Slytherin's purpose for leaving this hidden entrance in the first place, it was obviously not set up for violent vandals like Maca.
But now, the correct way to enter is already unknown.
Maca held a magic wand, stepped on a piece of gravel, crossed the stones all over the ground, and flew directly there.
But when he came near the entrance, he found that there was a strange magic power stirring around him, as if it would flourish at any moment, triggering some kind of residual mysterious magic.
Maca stopped immediately, suspended in mid-air.
Soul magic?
When he sensed that the magic power suddenly surged and gathered in front of the entrance, a green phantom figure quietly emerged there.
Needless to say, just by the look of that monkey cheek, Salazar Slytherin must be gone!
Hisssssssssssss...
Hearing the familiar hissing sound again, Maca couldn't help but slapped his forehead.
This chamber of secrets was designed entirely for Voldemort!
Parseltongue is not something that cannot be learned, and even because its syllable rules are closely related to some ancient spells, many wizards knew it in ancient times.
But now, if you want to learn, there is nowhere to learn?
Except for a natural Parseltongue like Voldemort, or a guy like Harry who took advantage of Voldemort, it is really not easy to learn it.
... hiss... ha hiss ho hiss...
Seeing the phantom keep hissing, Maca sighed speechlessly.
Can you speak human language? he shouted.
Hiss...
Speak human! Maca yelled, pointing at the phantom of Slytherin.
Hisss... ssssss...
After several trials, Maca finally determined that the phantom left by Salazar had no independent consciousness at all. Since it was impossible to communicate, then...
He was planning to use soul magic to try it out, but unexpectedly, after the phantom hissed on its own, it suddenly disappeared!
Although I don't know if I missed some important information, but after repeatedly confirming that there is no other magic left, Maca has no choice but to put aside his doubts and fall into the entrance passage.
From Maca's point of view, there is nothing unusual about this passage, just like an ordinary stone tunnel, it stretches forward, and the more you go in, the darker it becomes.
On the stone walls of the passage, there are no other tricks except the gaps between the stones.
In a trance, Maca seemed to have come to a catacomb in a Muggle world. Other than the remnants of magic that would have reminded him, anything suggested that it was almost indistinguishable from an ancient Muggle tomb.
After a long journey through the tunnel, Maca came to a small stone room.
There are not many furnishings here, only two bookcases made of black wood, and an ordinary black desk.
There is no magic to protect them from the erosion of time, and the damp in the ground has caused them to rot badly, and the chair in front of the desk has even fallen apart long ago.
