Chapter 38 The Ultimate of Magic

"I can teach you about the bubble magic." Daphne, who didn't want to learn the cleaning spell, was very interested in the bubble spell that could put a protective cover on her body.

If there wasn't this layer of bubbles... Merlin's on top! Daphne couldn't help but shuddered as she recalled the scene she had just seen.

Les gave her a meaningful look and said no problem.

If you learn the bubble spell, you can also clean the corridor outside the secret room with him.

This is your own exclusive classroom, you can't just stay so dirty, right? And cleaning it by myself is a bit too hard.

After walking a few steps further, Les suddenly stopped and extinguished the flame for lighting in front of him.

"What happened?" Daphne asked.

"I think you need to be mentally prepared. There is a remnant slough left by a king snake in front of you." Les told Daphne that he would clean up the slough if she was afraid.

With just one glance, Les recognized the snake skin. It was the snake king he had left in the secret room before.

Leaving a basilisk in Hogwarts was not meant to "purify the school". According to Rice's conception, this basilisk is one of the heritage he left to Hogwarts.

The basilisk lives long enough to protect Hogwarts for thousands of years.

If one day, Hogwarts is invaded by a foreign enemy and reaches a critical moment of life and death, the heir of Slytherin who can speak Parseltongue will open the secret room, summon the basilisk inside, and purify the intruders.

As a result, his intentions were twisted into this ghost.

Purifying the school is really a ghost...

However, although the Snake King is the ultimate weapon of Hogwarts, Les still felt that Daphne would be frightened and faint if she suddenly saw the Snake King's remains. Entering Slytherin House did not mean that she was not afraid of snakes, so he warned her in advance. .

As soon as she heard that there was a snake shed in front of her, Daphne subconsciously wanted to follow Les's suggestion, but when she thought that it was the snake king's shed, her heart suddenly moved.

That's the legendary Snake King! A magical animal that will die just by looking at it.

If you miss it here, you may regret it for the rest of your life. With this view in mind, Daphne asked Les to leave the snake slough in place.

After taking a few steps forward behind Les, Daphne vaguely saw the outline of a coiled behemoth. Raising the reignited fireball, Les gained a full view of the giant thing.

Under the light of the fire, a huge snake skin emerged from the darkness. The bright green color clearly told Daphne that it was the skin of a poisonous snake.

This is a bit counterintuitive, because in most cases, large snakes are not venomous, but this guy coiled on the tunnel floor is a counterexample. It is at least twenty feet long.

"Merlin!" Daphne couldn't help but gasp.

This kind of monster actually exists in the world!

After letting Daphne take a good look at the remains of the snake king, Les led her over the huge snake skin and continued deeper along the tunnel.

The tunnel turned round and round, and finally a wall with two intertwined snakes carved on it appeared in front of him. The snake's eye sockets are set with huge, sparkling emeralds.

The secret room has arrived.

Les couldn't help but sigh: He didn't have to put in so much effort to get here before. It's time to repair the previous mechanism.

He approached the stone wall and spoke in Parseltongue to the snake above: "Open."

The two snakes separated, and the stone wall cracked in the middle, slowly sliding to both sides and disappearing. Les and Daphne walked into the space behind the stone wall.

Behind the wall is a dimly lit room with many serpentine stone pillars erected on both sides. The room was so high that it didn't reach the top, and the stone pillars supporting the ceiling melted into the shadows at the height, casting long and strange black shadows on the entire room that was filled with green and mysterious light.

On the other side of the room, there stands a statue as tall as the room itself. The statue clings to the dark wall behind. People who enter the room have to raise their necks high to see the huge face of the statue. .

When people come to the statue, they will have the illusion of being overwhelmed by a mountain, and some people may even be out of breath.

"This is Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets." Looking at the room shrouded in a strange atmosphere, Daphne's eyes were full of awe.

"Only students approved by Slytherin can enter here." Les stood in front of the statue and whispered softly.

But let's talk about it. Now when I look back and let Rice comment again, he admits that the statue is a bit ugly.

"Please wait a moment." Les snapped his fingers, and the secret chamber that had been dusty for thousands of years started to operate again.

Illuminating spells, astrology spells, weather spells, exhaust spells...

Les snapped his fingers, and a series of spells in the secret room began to run: the originally dark ceiling changed and turned into the sky outside the castle; the bright sunshine outside poured into the secret room, directly replacing the green mist. The fluorescence swept away the eerie atmosphere in the secret room; the stale air was also driven away, and fresh outdoor air poured in, even with the smell of flowers, grass and earth.

"The spell here hasn't expired yet!" Daphne was stunned by the completely new secret room in front of her.

There was a glimmer of pride in Les's eyes: That was, this was the spell he had personally arranged back then.

"Okay, don't worry about some of the details." Les said pretending to be modest, "We have to hurry up and start today's teaching, but before teaching you the spells, I have to ask you a question - you know magic? The ultimate?"

"The... ultimate in magic?" Daphne's voice was filled with confusion.

What is the ultimate in magic? A powerful spell? But what kind of spell is considered powerful? My father said that Grindelwald almost burned down half of Paris with a spell. This should be considered powerful, right?

"It seems you don't know." Les nodded, thinking this is normal. Today's magic world is very different from a thousand years ago. Wizards don't have many opportunities for actual combat, and naturally they don't have the opportunity to see the best magicians of an era using their full strength. scene.

"But it doesn't matter. Guess why I have to bring you here to teach?" Les showed a slightly mysterious smile.

In the past, Rice worked hard on this secret room for better teaching results. Here, based on his memory, the scene in the memory can be restored as realistically as possible, giving people an immersive feeling - the entire secret room can be used as a pensieve.

Les waved the wand in his hand gently, like a conductor of an orchestra. The tips of his wand connected, and ripples began to appear in the air. The face of the Slytherin stone sculpture also moved, and white smoke flowed from his eyes, It gushed out from the ears, mouth, and nose, gradually filling the entire secret room.

In an instant, Daphne was enveloped in a white smoke, but the smoke quickly dissipated. But when the white fog cleared, she found that she was on a rough sea!

Continue to thank Mr. Mingyue for the reward, your kindness is not over yet!

Don’t worry, I will definitely write this book well!
