Chinese students at Hogwarts

This snake head is not conspicuous and there is more than one of them. It looks like an exquisite decoration.

And there is no trace of magic on it. What really exposes it is the slight scratches under the snake head.

If it weren't for the extremely high clarity of the Dharma Eye, it would be difficult to find.

Zhang Xiao walked to the front of the snake head decoration. The silver snake head reflected the brilliance under the light. The snake head was very delicate, with an open mouth and sharp fangs.

Even the eyes were inlaid with two tiny emeralds, lifelike.

Before Tom lost his mind, he really had to have a brain and emotional intelligence.

Those who can enter here must be extraordinary wizards, and they are extremely powerful. They can even break the magic outside, so it is obvious that the magic arranged on the snake head cannot be stopped.

But he went the other way and chose the mechanism that only Muggles have, focusing on reverse thinking.

Zhang Xiao bent his body and carefully looked at the marks under the snake head. He thought to himself that from the scratches, it should be pressed down and slid down.

He reached out and tried to shake the snake head. As expected, it didn't move at all.

He snorted softly, but didn't care too much. The mechanism was definitely here, but there should be an unlocking sequence. It shouldn't be complicated. The reason is very simple.

Because no one wants to set their own door to a 16-digit uppercase and lowercase symbol password.

Most of them are 789123, 741852.

Judging from the records in the diary, Voldemort's experiments are quite frequent, so this mechanism must be used frequently.

Zhang Xiao's eyes scanned back and forth on the silver snake head, and finally stopped at those sharp teeth.

After thinking for a while, he took out a chopstick, randomly selected a fang, and gently pressed it on the chopstick. With a click, the fang retracted.

Oh? There's a way!

Zhang Xiao pressed the other teeth with great interest. When he pressed the last one, the fang that had just retracted suddenly stretched out and stared at the chopstick fiercely.

With a sound of "tap", it was deeply inserted into the chopsticks, and a transparent and sticky liquid dripped down the hole on the chopsticks.

This is not over yet. A thin silver needle shot out silently from the open mouth of the snake. Zhang Xiao slightly lifted the chopsticks in his hand and knocked the silver needle down.

Put the chopsticks in front of his eyes and observe carefully. The power of the snake's fangs is very strong. The liquid on it should be poisonous?

Zhang Xiao laughed. He was not surprised by such a result. He could only say that Tom is Tom and never changed.

However, this password is a bit simple. Simplified, how many combinations are there in total abcd?

If you don't pay attention to the order, there are only 11 kinds. If you pay attention to the order, there are only 60 kinds.

All experiments can be carried out in about half an hour.

Sure enough, when the broken chopsticks pressed the last fang, Zhang Xiao heard a very small machine amplification sound, and the fang did not pop out again.

Press the snake head and scratch it hard. With the sound of the hinge moving, the bookshelf suddenly shook and moved to the side.

A downward hole was revealed, and gusts of cold wind blew out from it.

The passage was very dark. Perhaps in order to completely block the sight of others, there were no magic candles here. Zhang Xiao stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers.

The soft light immediately lit up, illuminating the entire passage in detail. Going down about a hundred steps, he came to another room.

This should be underwater, extremely humid, moss growing in the corner, and a somewhat rotten oak table in a corner of the room.

The room was very large, and what he cared about most was the other side of the room, where there were several iron cages with white bones piled together.

Just looking at it, you can imagine the despair at that time.

There were only a dozen here. Zhang Xiao recalled the diary he had read. I am afraid that more bones have been dealt with. Here are just the ones he killed before leaving.

In addition, there was a smaller skeleton lying outside the iron cage. Compared with humans, its bones were slightly weird.

This is the skeleton of an elf.

With Tom's ability, it's not surprising to get an elf. No wonder this castle is so well maintained inside and out. It turned out to be an elf.

I thought Tom was also a person who loved life.

Let's take it outside for burial. Zhang Xiao sighed and walked straight to the table, which was piled with rolled parchment and black notebooks of the same style.

These things were cast with magic and kept intact in this environment.

After a rough look, most of them were experimental processes. The cold text only wrote that the experimental subject died, the experimental subject exploded, and the experimental subject screamed and turned into blood.

It recorded the tragic conditions of various experiments. Perhaps in order to better record the experimental results, Voldemort recorded it in great detail.

The more Zhang Xiao read, the angrier he became. Chinese people can't stand this, and it will trigger the anger buff.

He simply threw those experimental records aside and focused on the things left by Slytherin and Voldemort's comments.

At the same time, he also had a strong question in his mind.

Why did Slytherin carry out such a horrible human body transformation?

The statue in the secret room should be what he looked like in his later years. It looks scary, completely different from the handsome portrait. Even if the shelf life is shortened, it shouldn't be like this, right?

If it is purely for power, it seems unnecessary to do this. Wizards of this level have already found their own way.

As long as he continues along his own path, he will definitely reach the peak.

Or has he touched the ceiling and wants to break it in this way to deal with the crisis he sees?

Zhang Xiao shook his head, put down the manuscript, turned around and picked up another one. Unexpectedly, it was full of Voldemort's records.

"Slytherin is indeed the greatest of the four giants. In tracing his footsteps, I saw many shocking records. His research on magic is so in-depth.

That kind of thought made me exclaim in amazement

After the fusion, my strength has indeed increased a lot. According to Slytherin, I need to abandon those useless emotions and keep myself calm forever

Maybe I need to add a little blood of other magical animals?

But I can't wait to go to the next place, where it is said that there are deep secrets buried.

The source of wizards in Greek legends, and even the power of gods in legends, but it doesn't matter. The great Voldemort will definitely become the most powerful wizard. Even gods need to bow their noble heads under his wand!"

Zhang Xiao's eyes flashed, and he closed the notebook thoughtfully, and then his body faded quickly, and finally accompanied by a crackling sound.

The whole person disappeared.

"Is this Tom's former residence? It's beyond my expectation. It's very beautiful."

Dumbledore looked at the surrounding water and flowers with interest. Obviously, this quiet and beautiful place surprised him.

The flowers swayed in the breeze that came from nowhere, and the rich fragrance of the flowers was carried by the wind. Just a light breath intoxicated the whole sense of smell.

"Yes, professor, I was also surprised when I first came in. I always thought that Voldemort--" Zhang Xiao made a gesture of spreading his hands: "I always thought he would live in a place like a cave."

Dumbledore laughed and was in a good mood. The two walked towards the castle.

"By the way, Professor, how is the recent situation? I have been traveling around and rarely pay attention to this aspect. But the Muggle side is obviously not good."

"I can only say that we are trying to get better--" Dumbledore's smile faded a little, and he sighed softly: "Finally, the voices of going to war with Muggles have been suppressed.

In fact, those far-sighted wizards do not agree to go to war with Muggles, which will cause immeasurable losses to both sides.

And only a small number of people participated in the stadium incident, which is even negligible compared to the total number of Muggles.

If we rashly start a war, it will inevitably push a large number of Muggles who are willing to be friendly with us to the opposite side.

This is what I don't want to see"

Dumbledore shook his head, revealing a trace of fatigue in his blue eyes:

"After persuasion, most wizards have recognized this concept, but the idea of ​​revenge is still there, and they have turned their attention to the church and those Muggles who participated."

Church Zhang Xiao nodded thoughtfully, and immediately understood Dumbledore's difficulties.

There is no problem in listing the church as an enemy. The hostility between the two sides has been going on for a long time, and the church has done such a big thing, it would be strange if the wizards did not retaliate.

But the problem is that the church itself knows why they have been lurking all the time?

The 10,000 demon hunters and hundreds of priests are all the strength they have accumulated over the years, otherwise they need to secretly and carefully capture those solitary wizards?

And they have to clean up all traces? Isn't it because they are afraid of wizards?

So he expanded frantically and tried to spread his own to the top of other countries, trying to integrate himself with the Muggle society.

If you want to strike the church accurately, I am afraid that it is not easy for others to do it except Dumbledore himself, but Dumbledore certainly has no time now, he has to coordinate the entire wizarding world.

"Let's not talk about this for now, let's go and see what Tom left behind. I have a lot of questions that I want to get answered, maybe they are hidden in Tom's records."

The two came all the way to the hidden dark room, during which Dumbledore praised the exquisite mechanism without hesitation, thinking that if he came, he might not be able to find it.

However, Zhang Xiao felt that this was Dumbledore being modest. With his incredible strength, it was really difficult for him to be stumped by anything.

When they arrived at the Chamber of Secrets, as expected, Dumbledore fell into silence as he looked at the bones, and finally he only sighed for a long time.

The old man picked up the manuscripts and looked at them carefully. Sometimes he frowned and thought, sometimes he suddenly realized something, and more often he just looked at them seriously.

When he put down the manuscripts, Zhang Xiao immediately perked up and listened carefully.

"So. Tom's crazy human body transformation was influenced by Slytherin? He thought this was an infinitely powerful path?"

"I guess so, but I don't understand why Slytherin would study human body transformation? How powerful is he that he must undergo such a transformation?"

Dumbledore shook his head. It has been too long. A thousand years of time has completely covered up many secrets, and even he has no way of knowing.

Zhang Xiao continued to ask, "What about the secrets of Greece and gods that Voldemort mentioned at the end? Professor, do you know anything about it?"

Dumbledore still shook his head, but after a moment's silence, he said softly:

"Greece is the birthplace of wizards, and many legends originated there. Or, if you trace the origins of wizards in many countries, they can be related to their own myths.

I once wanted to explore this secret, but unfortunately, before I even started, I got caught up in a series of disputes and was forced to end my journey."

Hey, can't wizards record their own history properly? You said you have been around for thousands of years, so why don't you pay attention to recording history?

Zhang Xiao sighed with regret, and then asked:

"Professor, we once discussed the prophecy and Slytherin's letter. I wonder what conclusions you have drawn from your subsequent investigation regarding the world-destroying crisis mentioned by Slytherin?"

Dumbledore's eyebrows relaxed, and he smiled gently:

"I focused on tracking Slytherin's traces, especially his life after leaving the academy. Thank God, I found some clues, but later there were frequent incidents in the wizarding world, and I couldn't do more investigation."

He looked at Zhang Xiao with his azure eyes and said seriously:

"But it seems that you are very suitable for this job. After all, with your current strength, you can explore this world safely.

When I go back, I will hand over the relevant information to you. If you have time during the journey, you may as well continue to investigate."

Zhang Xiao nodded, but didn't say anything.

Then the two packed up all the things left by Voldemort, especially Slytherin's manuscripts. No one would remember them after Voldemort's demise.

The extremely comfortable chair was put away by Zhang Xiao. Such a comfortable chair is still rare.

Finally, the old man and the young man sent the skeletons outside and simply dug a pit to bury them.

When preparing to leave, Dumbledore seemed to have finally made up his mind:

"Zhang, if you want to investigate the gods that Tom mentioned, I have a good suggestion. Would you like to listen to it?"

"Of course, I'm happy to teach you."

Dumbledore paused and said softly:

"Egypt, the pyramids!"
