Chapter 253 Upper Chamber and Lower Chamber
·
Wo Bu Geng Xin
The air was damp and cold.The cold moisture never seeped through the clothes, firmly sticking to Luke's body.There is no light around, but a bright spot in the distance can be seen faintly.What came to my ears was the sound of water drops falling into the pool, and every time it fell, there would be an echo here.
This place is like an ancient underground cave, mysterious and dangerous.
"Om-"
A ball of light suddenly lit up, illuminating the wand in Luke's hand, his face, and everything around him.
Luke lowered his head and glanced at the stone road under his feet.The slate was carved with gorgeous and delicate patterns, he squatted down, snapped his fingers with his left hand, and all the dust on the slate under his feet was blown away.
He took a closer look, and there was a delicately shaped snake engraved on it.Under the illumination of the light ball, the snake's eyes even have a little vivid feeling.
"Sure enough, it was Slytherin's handwriting."
Luke looked at the familiar snake and nodded seriously.Although whether it is in the original book or in the records of the current family, it is clearly stated that this secret room was built by Slytherin.But in this kind of thing, Luke has always paid attention to seeing is believing.
If many mouths make money, three people can become a tiger.The truth is always the most fragile.In the long time, it can only be embellished by others.
Stand up straight and walk along the stone road.Luke saw pools of water on either side.A drop of water fell from above and hit the water surface, causing a circle of ripples.
Luke raised the ball of light and looked up, but he didn't see the stalactite-like stalagmite he imagined.Instead, he saw a stone statue of a snake hanging upside down from the ceiling.
The snake looked in the direction of the stone slab, with a big mouth and a ferocious expression. It had a feeling of choosing to eat people, which made people daunting.
Luke suppressed a twitch in his heart.He knew very well that the snake in front of him must be fake.But it still gave him a sense of danger, so the snake might be part of the defensive measures.
But he turned his eyes around and found that the things in front of him were not that simple.This road is quite long, and it looks like there are such snakes on both sides.
Squatting down again, he groped for a small stone, waved his fingers in the air, and the small stone turned into a little mouse.
The little mouse is lively and lively, and the transfiguration is still close to reality. Luke's transfiguration has obviously reached a very high level.It moved around Luke's feet, and seemed quite intimate with Luke.But what greeted it was indeed Luke's head-on kick.
Along with pain and weightlessness, eventually the little mouse heard a 'plop' and felt himself surrounded by water.The instinct of survival allowed it to swim easily, and then swam towards Luke's position cursingly.
After landing, it bites Luke's shoe with red eyes.But it was controlled by Luke with the floating spell.
Luke looked at the mouse in front of him, carefully checked that there were no other problems, and then nodded in relief.He snapped his fingers again.The mouse turned back into the pebble again.
The pebbles landed on the stone slab, making a crisp sound.And with this crisp sound, something in the distance seemed to be awakened. .... There was a rumbling sound in his ear, and Luke followed the sound, and found that there were a few candle lights lit up there at this time, and they were spreading towards this side.
Luke took a deep breath, then walked towards the light.
But within a few steps, Luke suddenly waved his vacant right hand.Luke's figure appeared in the position just now.
Apparation wasn't banned, much to Luke's relief.After checking that there were no other abnormalities around, he continued to walk forward this time.
After walking a long way, I finally reached the end of the stone road.But when Luke turned around, he was surprised to find that the stone road was not as long as he imagined, or even as long as he felt just now.
Senses can be deceiving, Luke is well aware of that, but he has many tricks of his own that can deceive the senses without even requiring magic.Naturally, this also means that even if the magic of dispelling the illusion is used, it will still have no effect.
Luke guessed that his perception should be deceived here, but he couldn't figure out the specific method for a while.
So he turned around again and looked at the locked door in front of him.Although there is a little bit of light here, those lights are just faint candles, not enough to illuminate this huge gate.
Confusion flashed in his eyes, logically it shouldn't be like this.Whether it's in the movie or in the original story told by friends, isn't there a basilisk and a tall Slytherin statue in the Chamber of Secrets?
Why is the scene in front of Luke completely different from the memory?
The gate in front of you is very similar to the gate of the Gunter family's treasure house.Such a gate may be equipped with blood detection magic.The gate is simple in nature, and the carvings on it are still in a gorgeous and delicate style.The content engraved on it is probably the legend of Slytherin.
Luke also saw a scene on it that looked like the Big Four got together.
Wearing a pointed hat and bearded Slytherin, a locket was suspended in front of him.The locket shone with a strange light.
Gryffindor with messy hair and a smile on his face floated a long sword in front of him, also shining with a strange light.
Ravenclaw with the eagle pattern on the wizard robe on his body is in front of a crown.In front of Hufflepuff with curly hair is a golden cup.
This picture caught Luke's attention.Luke continued to look down, only to find that the remaining patterns became normal adventure stories again.
But when I turned my gaze back, the original content changed.
Luke frowned, he really didn't think he was hallucinating.It can only be said that this secret room does not seem to be simple.Luke, who was originally wary of the Chamber of Secrets, became even more vigilant now.
As far as he is concerned, although he remembers it as a secret room, he actually doesn't see any unusual Slytherin secret room at all, and it is almost qualitatively different from the secret room he encountered in reality. ... In reality, or rather, the secret room he encountered looked mysterious and dangerous.Even now, Luke still has a feeling that something behind him is staring at him.This feeling is not comfortable...
After looking at the pattern on the door again, but never finding the pattern of the Big Four again, Luke couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.And just when he was wondering, the two ouroboros on the stone gate suddenly started to spin.
Luke took a step back subconsciously, raised the wand in his hand high, allowing the ball of light to illuminate a larger area, while the other hand stretched out his index finger in a slightly embarrassed manner, pointing to the door ahead.It seemed that the ball of light couldn't leave the wand.
The sound of heavy stones rubbing against each other rang here for a while, and finally, a snake head protruded from the top of the gate and cast its gaze at Luke.
Luke was vigilant, ready to flee at any time.Just kidding, in this case, of course, it is unwise to be tough. Let's avoid it for the time being, and it doesn't matter if you enter again after you are more prepared.
Fortunately, things didn't go in the worst direction, but a green light shot down from the snake's eyes, engulfing Luke in it.Luke felt the warmth around him, and naturally understood the function of the light beam.
It was no different from when he entered the treasure house for the first time. This thing was also used to confirm the bloodline.And such things seem to be found only in places related to Slytherin, or Gaunt.
This also verified some records in the family.In other words, Slytherin can be called a know-it-all in magic, but the field of research he is best at is the field of blood.
This green light beam, which can distinguish blood veins, is obviously one of the by-products of Tao that Slytherin is studying.
"This thing... Tom can pass?"
Luke was really a little skeptical. If Tom could pass such a blood test, it can only be said that the requirements of the thing are not too high.
The green light beam was on for a while, as if confirming that there was no problem with Luke's identity, it restrained itself.And the snake head at the top also returned to the stone wall.
The two Ouroboros on the gate began to spin again.But this time, as they turned, the gate was slowly opened.
Looking at everything in front of him, Luke couldn't help feeling a little emotional.
"Ancestor Slytherin, it seems that he has done some research on Muggle institutions..."
Although the stone gate in front of him was turning.But it seems that very little magic is used.More are those stone organs that are linked together.
Luke took a deep breath, then strode through the door.
Walking into the door, there is finally a light here.
Although the magic lamps cannot illuminate these interiors very brightly, they are enough for people to see the contents clearly.
Luke didn't disperse the sphere of light at the tip of his wand, but he also reduced the diameter of the sphere, reducing the intensity of the light.
At this moment, what Luke could see was a statue in front of him, but the statue here had no head, only a body.
It can be seen that the huge wither is like a hug with its arms outstretched.He was wearing a gorgeous wizard robe, but it looked a little messy.Even if it is a withered statue, one can still see the slovenly appearance of this person at the moment. ….Luke finally knew what was wrong here.The secret room in front of me, although it is also a secret room, seems to be under the head-only statue in the movie.That withered statue does not only have a head, but only the head on top, and the body is here.
This made Luke feel a sense of right while being surprised.If the Chamber of Secrets is really that simple, how can it be the place where Slytherin's legacy remains.
Although in the normal legend, this secret room was built by Salazar Slytherin before he left the school, and it was closed after he left the school, and only he and his heirs could open it.There lives a terrifying monster, controlled only by the heirs of Slytherin, who, when placed in the school, is able to "cleanse the school" of all those whom Slytherin deems unworthy of learning magic.
But in fact, there are also rumors that this thing is actually a place for lectures.Although I don't know what kind of thoughts Salazar was in in the end, he turned the secret room into a monster's lair that only he or his descendants could control, and only Snake Tongue could enter here.This, Slytherin knew, would keep the three founders and all the rest of the faculty out of the Chamber.
According to the records of the Gaunt family, what is hidden in the Chamber of Secrets is the real secret of Slytherin.His research, his achievements, his... innate magic.
You know, the talent of the Gaunt family is said to be the same as that of Slytherin.But the later members of the Gaunt family, it is not that no one thought about turning the snake old tongue into a special talent magic, but no one was able to succeed.
Snake Laoqiang seems to be just a language that can be used to communicate with snakes.And such a language is not particularly useful.However, the plan to control a man-made magical animal with a certain degree of intelligence-the basilisk with the snake's old tongue has been circulating in the Gunter family for a while.It's just that the basilisk is wild and hard to find, its intelligence is low, it is difficult to control, and it is extremely dangerous, even several members of the Gunter family died under the snake's eyes.The plan was eventually called off.
Compared with those powerful forces, in fact, their bloodline members are more important.
It doesn't matter if it's strong or not.They themselves don't need too much power.Not everyone in the Gaunt family wants to unify the entire wizarding world.
But the Gaunt family must have a bloodline passed down the world.This is the real responsibility left by the ancestors.
But looking at it now, it seems that the ancestor who proposed this initiative back then coincided with Slytherin.
They all chose the basilisk, a powerful snake-like magical creature.
But Luke is really not very interested in the basilisk, he prefers the rune snake, which is intelligent and also has powerful magical abilities.
The ancient runes themselves are magical words.There are also many mysteries in the rune snake that need to be explored.
Unfortunately, now is obviously not the time to think about whether what you like is the same as what your ancestors liked.
Luke glanced around and found that the structure here was closer to a laboratory.
Everything in it was intact. Luke approached a test bench and found that the test tubes, crucibles and other things on it were still intact.
He glanced at the stack of parchments lying on the table.
"Concept on the fusion of the blood of magical animals and the blood of wizards"
The title made Luke gasp.So with curiosity, he wanted to see the contents of this thing.
However, a voice sounded, and the hairs all over his body stood on end in fright.
"I advise you to better not look at that thing...".
I will not update to remind you: remember to collect after reading
This place is like an ancient underground cave, mysterious and dangerous.

A ball of light suddenly lit up, illuminating the wand in Luke's hand, his face, and everything around him.
