MTL - In This Hogwarts Without a Savior-Chapter 358 356. Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets (four thousand)

   Chapter 358 356. Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets (four thousand)

  On the blank wall, following Hermione's inner appeal, an old wooden door slowly emerged above it.

  Hermione saw the door, with an unconcealable excitement on her face, and then quickly walked forward, putting her hand on the doorknob.

   It was very easy, she pushed the door from the outside to the inside.

   There is a dark space inside. Only after the light of the candles on the wall outside the door shines in, can we see that the room is very empty. At first glance, it seems that there is nothing.

  Hermione didn't take off the invisibility cloak, and walked in with Fox. After she entered, the surrounding walls were lit with flames, and then illuminated the entire room.

   Only now can she see what kind of room this is.

  There are blank walls all around, the whole house is not big, but there is nothing, only a round trap door placed in the middle of the ground!

   Arriving in front of the trap door, Hermione first tried to open it directly with her hands, but the door remained motionless until she spoke the ugly Parseltongue, and the next moment, the door opened by itself!

  Below the trapdoor is a deep secret passage, which seems to meander down, and there is no end in sight.

Although she didn't stay in this castle for a long time, and she seldom had the opportunity to go to the upper floors, Hermione still remembered that there was a Charms classroom right below where the Room of Requirement was located. Dao appeared as if the floor under her feet was connected to the solid ground of the first floor, not at all like she was on the eighth floor of the castle.

  Hermione carefully closed the door of the Room of Requirement from the inside, then let Fox get off her shoulders, and jumped into the secret passage first.

   Then Fox was in front, and at the same time, a faint golden light was shining on his body to illuminate the road ahead, while Hermione was behind, and they went deeper into the secret passage bit by bit.

   This secret road is rugged and winding, and it is narrow and wide at times. Sometimes Hermione can only pass by kneeling on the ground, and sometimes she can stand up straight and walk upright.

  She had been walking in it for more than half an hour, and finally jumped down from an exit, and came to a secret room that seemed to be located underground!

The surroundings are damp and as quiet as a tomb, as if Hermione has already left the scope of Hogwarts castle at this time, the fire dragons outside are attacking the castle, and the Hogwarts professor who is fighting to guard the school All the sounds they made disappeared.

  Fawkes stood back on Hermione's shoulders again, his pale golden eyes seemed to have sensed something, and turned around with a somewhat serious expression.

  In the darkness, Hermione used the wand lighting spell, and then she saw the huge creature in front of her.

  Under the emerald green reflection, at first she thought it was a snake lying on the ground ambushing her, but before she felt startled, she realized that it was just a piece of snake skin.

  The size of the snake's skin is obviously not normal. At a glance, it is about 20 feet long, and it is emerald green. It is easy to mistake it for a snake.

For more than a year, Hermione would spend in the library on the carriage whenever she had free time, and last year, she also saw Jon kill a giant snake about the size of this snake skin with her own eyes. .

  She could easily tell that it was the shed skin of a basilisk, which made her more vigilant. Since there was a snake skin here, there must have been a basilisk in the secret room.

The portrait of Mr. Slytherin said that he had placed a basilisk that only obeyed Slytherin's blood in the secret room thousands of years ago, but Jon had also killed one in the principal's office. According to Dumbledore's analysis, the two snakes are very likely to be the same one.

  Voldemort released it from the Chamber of Secrets to serve as the guard of his principal's office, so there is a high probability that there is no Basilisk guard in the Chamber of Secrets now.

But probability is probability, as long as Hermione encounters it, it is 100%, so Hermione is cautious, she holds the wand in her hand, and specially weakens the light of the illuminating spell, although it will make her vision blurred , but because of this, if she were to face the basilisk directly, she would be able to avoid looking directly into its eyes.

  Continuing to walk to the depths of the secret room, she turned many corners, continued to go deeper for about ten minutes, and finally came to a solid wall.

  It is engraved with two intertwined snakes, and their eyes are set with large, shining emeralds.

  Just seeing this wall, Hermione knew what to do. Her throat rolled, and she continued to speak in Parseltongue, uttering an order.

  After her words fell, the two snakes separated, and the stone wall split from the middle, slowly sliding to the sides and disappearing.

  Hermione took a long, deep breath, then clutched the shimmering wand in her hands with both hands, and walked through the door.

  She came to one side of a long, dimly lit room.

  In the room, there are many stone pillars engraved with coiled and entangled serpents, towering and supporting the ceiling that melts in the high darkness, casting long and treacherous black shadows on the entire room filled with green and mysterious atmosphere.

  The moment Hermione entered, countless silver-gray lights suddenly lit up on the ground!

   Those rays of light tactfully connected on the ground, forming a series of words and symbols, covering the entire room!

  Hermione looked at everything under her feet in shock, a huge picture scroll was formed on the ground, and those illuminated characters were all the oldest runes!

   These runes are densely packed, each character is only the size of a thumbnail, but it fills the entire space.

  Similarly, under the light of these illuminated runes, Hermione also saw a statue of an old man in the depths of the room, on the wall facing her.

  It was an old monkey-like face, and Hermione was no stranger to this face. He was Salazar Slytherin whose portrait was hung in the principal's office.

  Even this statue is densely engraved with runes, densely packed, making people feel a little shuddering inexplicably.

  Hermione looked down, and then she saw a small figure right under the statue.

  It looked like a dwarf. He had a broad face and a big mouth, and he was wearing tattered bright clothes, but his eyes were tightly closed, and his body was illusory, not like a normal person at all.

  Five black chains stretched out from the ground, and they were connected to the dwarf's limbs and neck respectively, as if binding him here firmly, preventing him from moving.

  The surrounding air was very cold and humid, making Hermione's body tremble slightly involuntarily.

  She carefully stepped on those glowing runes and came to the side of the dwarf.

"Hello."

  After seeing the fire dragon attack on Hogwarts Castle, Snape left from the outskirts of the Forbidden Forest without the slightest hesitation.

  His face was ugly, and he took away all the Aurors present. At the same time, he stared at Jon gloomyly, and ordered one of the Aurors to inform Voldemort immediately.

   Such an approach is undoubtedly the most sensible, because judging from all the useful manpower in Hogwarts Castle, they don't have much confidence that they can hold the castle under the attack of these fire dragons.

  The reporters were extremely excited, and some of them even wanted to follow Snape and the others closer to Hogwarts Castle, but were kicked back mercilessly by the Auror behind them.

And some smart newspaper reporters, after quickly taking pictures of the current situation of the castle being attacked, let people leave here first, and immediately take the existing photos out, in case the man gets the news and comes back later, they All the results have been turned into nothing.

  Although Snape left with the Auror, there was no room for any change in the final result of this match.

  Emir hadn't come out of the Forbidden Forest yet, he looked at the golden-red sky in the direction of the castle that had been covered by the dragon's breath, looking so devastated.

  Matthew recovered from the shock of the current situation, he straightened his face, and looked at Emil.

   "Mr. Lestrange, so, are you going to choose to finish the game now?"

  Emil was brought back to his senses by his question, but instead of looking at Matthew, he looked at Jon with hatred.

   "It must be him! He must have done it! Those fire dragons were chasing him! Now they are all attacking the castle! He must have done something!"

  His words made the whole scene become silent, and Burst stared at Emil, as if he wanted to stuff the words he just said back into his mouth again!

  At this time, the excited Emil also realized that he had said something wrong. With a pale face, he hastily patched up what he said just now.

   "We saw it in the Forbidden Forest. It was Green who angered those fire dragons, and the fire dragons attacked him frantically!"

  Jon didn't intend to glance at him at all. He stood in front of Dumbledore and Rozier, took out a golden snitch from the cloth bag and looked at Matthew at the same time, asking calmly.

   "Following the topic we just talked about, Mr. Graves, may I know who purchased and provided the golden snitches used in this project?"

Matthew didn't ignore Jon's problem. Whether it was the boy's reputation in the magic world, or what he did tonight, he couldn't be regarded as a simple student. look at.

  Similarly, Matthew didn't mean to cover up anyone. He came to be the referee just to be impartial, so that no one could get a point.

  He turned his head and looked at the Middle Eastern wizard named Abdul Rahman.

   "Rahman, you are responsible for this, right?"

  The thin, short bearded Middle Eastern wizard with a white turban on his head did not change his expression when facing Matthew's question.

   "The various supplies of Pamo Sports Magic Item Supply Company are very good. They have been in charge of the ball supplies for the Quidditch World Cup for three consecutive years, and there will be no quality problems."

  Jon also looked at him, and he said lightly.

"Of course I also believe in the standards of this company, there will be no problems in terms of quality, but some people want to add some unknown means to this game, all it needs is that it has enough quality assurance. I think , Mr. Rahman, have all these golden snitches in the Forbidden Forest been handled by you yourself?"

  Rahman's face was arrogant, he didn't even look into Jon's eyes, as if he didn't even bother to answer the question of a student like him.

  However, an old and gentle voice forced him to lower his head again.

   "Can you tell us about Abdul? I think we need an answer."

  No one will ignore Dumbledore's words, and Rahman is the same. Even though Dumbledore no longer has the title and position of chairman in the International Federation of Magic, he still has great prestige.

  Especially after Wu Pingxian seized most of France from Voldemort's hands with his strength.

"Of course I have full authority over these Snitches." His face remained unchanged, "If you suspect that I have done something about it, you can use Dementia on me, Albus. I know you are a master in this area, and I don't know Occlumency at all, so I can't resist at all."

  He and Dumbledore's blue eyes looked at each other, with no intention of avoiding it.

   Dumbledore looked at him and just shook his head.

   "Of course I have enough trust in you. The federation also knows your character to let you serve as a referee. Since you don't know about this matter, it means you didn't do it."

  Bost, who was still being supported by others, suddenly said in a strange way at the side.

   "Things haven't been investigated yet, and someone has already begun to confirm that what the boy said is true? Our game is really fair."

   Rozier looked at him coldly, and it was this glance that made Boster's body tremble subconsciously, and fear appeared in his eyes.

  Jon didn't care about his doubts at all. He turned his head to look at the three federation referees including Berster and Matthew and all the reporters.

   "Since I dare to speak out, of course I will have tangible evidence."

   While speaking, he raised his wand, pointed the tip of the wand at his temple, and then slowly turned the wand, pulling out a bright silver thread from his mind!

  The silver representing memory surrounds the tip of his staff, as if it has life.

  As long as you have a little dabble in Dementionment, it is not difficult to extract some of your own memories. After all, you will definitely not resist your own decision.

   Looking at this memory, even if no one knows what the picture it represents, everyone present has basically believed what Jon said.

  Long Qun went crazy, someone really wanted to frame him for it!

   It’s obvious that I’m healthy, but today I still feel like I’ve caught a cold. Maybe I stayed up too late two days ago. I promised to write in the early morning, so I’d better change my schedule and go to bed to make up for it tomorrow.

  I hope to live longer, and I wish you all good health
