Chapter 286 Salazar’s Secret Room

Although he was startled by Robert's sudden curse, Harry was still kind.

He immediately reminded aloud, "The snake has passed!"

Hearing his exclamation, Robert just waved his magic wand, and the menacing black snake turned into a puff of smoke and disappeared.

Well, so to speak, this spell can actually be regarded as a magic to summon animals?

Harry was even more confused, where was the snake?

Robert patted him on the shoulder and said, "Okay young man, I have to tell you two pieces of news."

"What news?" Harry asked subconsciously.

"First of all, the good news." Robert said, "Congratulations, you are a Parselmouth."

"..." Harry rolled his eyes, "You two said that now I don't even know what Parselmouth is, okay? So how does it feel like good news?"

"The bad news is..." Robert showed a meaningful expression, "You don't seem to be able to use it freely."

Harry stared on the spot. This guy was so mean. He didn't tell him anything and kept teasing him with a term he didn't understand. This was completely keeping him in the dark!

"Parseltongue is the language of snakes. That is to say, it is a language that no one else understands and cannot speak. Harry, if you are a Parseltongue, it will only make people scared, because other people People have no idea what you are talking about." Hermione reminded him kindly, "Besides, Parseltongue is actually Salazar Slytherin's specialty."

Harry nodded, still not seeming to realize the seriousness of the problem.

Hermione had to speak a little more clearly, "To put it simply, if others know that you are a Parseltongue, then most people will think that you are a descendant of Salazar Slytherin. Do you understand?"

Harry looked at her speechlessly, isn't she the descendant of a guy named Salazar? What's wrong... Hey, that last name seems familiar?

Harry, who didn't like studying, finally realized, "Huh? The founder of Slytherin?"

"Yes, not only that, he is also a dark wizard, well, I should say, a wizard who supports students in learning dark magic." Hermione said with some worry, "Will they think you are also a dark wizard?"

Because the Chamber of Secrets has not been opened by Ginny at this time, it doesn't matter even if someone finds out that Harry is a Parseltongue, but as long as the door of the Chamber of Secrets is opened...

He will be absolutely hated by everyone.

However, even if he was not regarded as the one who opened the Chamber of Secrets, Harry was still a little depressed, "Why should I be regarded as a dark wizard if I have a blood relationship with Salazar!"

"Do you know who this castle belongs to?" Robert interrupted Harry's complaint and asked with a smile.

Harry replied without thinking, "Of course it belongs to Principal Dumbledore."

"..." Robert was dumbfounded by his confident tone, "Hey, I know you are a fan of Principal Dumbledore, but can you think about it carefully before you answer me! Hogwarts City The castle was built thousands of years ago, and Principal Dumbledore is only over 100 years old. You tell me what he has to do to get the title deed to Hogwarts Castle! Will he travel back in time 1,000 years ago?"

Harry asked blankly, "But he is the principal..."

Hermione couldn't laugh or cry, "Harry, you don't think that as the principal, you can have all the ownership of the school, do you?"

Harry scratched his head sheepishly.

He really thought so.

Robert and Hermione both stared at him with stern eyes.

In order to prevent this guy from making any shocking remarks again, Robert decided to give him some popular science.

"Hogwarts Castle originally belonged to the Slytherin family. In order to realize his dream of opening a school, Salazar Slytherin took out the castle and the surrounding land as a campus." Robert winked at him, as if joking. De said, "There are many secret passages and secret rooms in this castle. There may be rooms that require Slytherin blood to open."

Before Harry could say anything, Hermione asked in confusion, "Is there such a thing?"

"Indeed, and the news came from the pure-blood family. Listen to me -" Robert cleared his throat, "First of all, I would like to introduce to you the four founders of Hogwarts: Godric Grant Findor, Helga Hufflepuff, Rowena Ravenclaw and Salazar Slytherin. Yes, in their honor, four houses are named after them.

"More than a thousand years ago, Muggles at that time were very afraid of magic, something beyond their knowledge - in fact, this is still the case now. After being bewitched by some thoughtful people, they conducted a war on wizards. Inhumane persecution. In order to stay away from the prying eyes of Muggles, to allow more wizards to have the opportunity to learn magic, and to prevent magic from being cut off, four powerful wizards, the founders of Hogwarts, united to prepare to establish A magic school. Finally, they decided on the location of Slytherin Castle and worked together to transform it.

"In the beginning, they lived in harmony, looking for talented young people and bringing them to the castle for training. However, slowly there were differences between them.

"Slytherin has always been prejudiced against Muggles. After all, at that time, the persecution of many wizards could not be summed up in these two words. If you want to know, you can read the books yourself. The stories between Muggles and wizards There are many relevant records, and most of them are true.

"In short, the founder always believed that magic education should be limited to pure-blood wizard families. He always felt that children born by Muggles were unreliable. Maybe one day, these Muggle wizards would turn to Muggles and join forces to deal with them. Wizard. Obviously, this was contrary to the views of several other people, so it was opposed by everyone. However, conflicts arose, and cracks appeared in their relationship, which became more and more intense. Until one day, Slytherin and Gryffindor because of There was another heated argument over this issue, and he left the school without looking back, never to return.

"But it didn't end there. Starting about a few centuries ago, the legend of Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets began to spread among pure-blood families.

"According to them, Slytherin built a secret room in the castle. He placed very scary things in it and sealed the secret room before leaving. The purebloods predicted that one day in the future, Salazar ·The true heir of Slytherin will come to the school, open the Chamber of Secrets, release those things, purify the school, and eliminate all those who are not worthy of learning magic."

Robert shrugged, "To put it simply, that thing will kill all Muggle wizards."

Harry and Hermione gasped, and Hermione's face turned pale. She was a Muggle wizard. If the legend said, wouldn't that mean...
