Harry Potter and the Secret Treasure
Page 137
The face on the top of the statue, apart from being handsome, has a solemn expression that gives people a sense of heroism and an indescribable temperament.
Like an unsheathed sword, it shone coldly and was extraordinarily sharp.
"The noble and immortal Slatlins value blood and honor. They judge the situation, protect themselves wisely, and win first..." Ivan couldn't help but said softly.
Although only a stone sculpture of a boyish Salazar, it perfectly embodies the qualities that Slytherins have long valued.
Even those who have prejudice against this academy have to admit this.
Ivan looked at the statue carefully. He looked somewhat similar to Tom Riddle in his student days, with jet-like hair and a tall and thin figure, but his expression was more confident and full of the unique atmosphere of medieval aristocrats.
If there is one thing in common, there is a cold smile on the corners of the mouths of both of them.
Ivan didn't know what Voldemort would think after seeing his ancestors. Judging from the current situation, he had never been in this cave.This is also very similar to Voldemort's usual style. He thinks he has everything, and he doesn't bother to get to know the magical creatures and Muggle-born wizards he despises.
But in fact, he missed a lot of valuable things.
Ivan carefully observed the surroundings, and under the traction of the giant eight-eyed spider behind him, he slowly landed at the feet of the huge Slytherin statue.
Like the chamber of secrets, the floor is paved with blue marble.
Under the thick dust, the marble is carved with dark golden ornate patterns, silently telling the glory of the past.
In addition, there are various stone fragments on the ground.
Alvin stepped forward and raised his wand high.
He found himself standing in the middle of a wide circular underground hall. The decoration in the room was damaged by the giant eight-eyed spider, and the original appearance was no longer recognizable.
Silver-white floating objects descended sporadically from the sky, like dots of starlight, scattered on the statue of Slytherin and the surrounding huge stone pillars.
In the silent and empty hall, he was the only one standing here alone.
The faint fluorescence from the end of the wand in Ivan's hand seemed so small in the dark, and the time of nearly a thousand years seemed to have stagnated in the eternal stone carving.
In the oppressive silence, he could clearly feel the existence of time.
With the light of the wand, not far from Slytherin's feet, he saw a huge stone altar with words engraved on it, and Ivan walked over to check it.
Like the surrounding decorations and walls, the altar was also destroyed by the acromantula and cracked into several pieces, leaving only the huge base.
He picked up a slightly larger piece of wreckage and held it in his hand to observe for himself. The engraved characters on it were very strange.
"This is..." Ivan seemed to think of something, and hurriedly turned out the Slytherin locket hanging on his chest, and compared the two.
All of them are twisted like snake-like symbols, they are all a kind of words.Regarding the text on the Slytherin locket, Ivan has researched for a long time and searched many books related to ancient magic patterns, but did not find any information related to it.
However, in the ancient astrology classics, he found some clues.
In the center of the locket, the engravings around the green gemstones are all ancient astrologer's symbols and azimuth notation. These symbols involve the astrological knowledge of the measurement of the relative angles of the planets and their relationship to each other.
Because it is too esoteric, Ivan is still studying it.
As for the other inscriptions on the locket, he hadn't made much progress either.
However, seeing the words on the broken stone altar and the surrounding scene in front of him, Ivan got a hint of inspiration. Salazar Slytherin's most famous trait is Parseltongue, so these words that no one knows may have to use Parseltongue to recognize, as long as you follow the grammar of Old English...
He tried to read it, making a weird hissing sound that didn't make any sense, but sounded exactly like Harry when he was speaking Parseltongue.
"That's right, that's it, I should have thought of it a long time ago!" Ivan clenched his fists, "These weird words left by Salazar Slytherin must have something to do with Parseltongue. Find ancient magic handed down from around the world."
He hurriedly collected all these broken stones and put them in his pocket, preparing to restore them to their original state after going back, let Harry have a look, maybe he can make a breakthrough, and learn why Slytherin stayed here The next ruin.
There are also those ancient words on the locket, Ivan remembered the vampire girl named Elaine Slytherin, and the prophecy she mentioned...
After he collected all the stones, he calmed down before moving on.
In the empty hall, only Ivan's footsteps echoed in the darkness. He walked forward for about 5 minutes in the direction pointed by the wand of the Slytherin statue.
In front of him was a huge stone gate. About this stone gate, Ivan had seen it in his dream, and the decoration on it was exactly the same as the crack. He still remembered that behind the gate was the monster, the secret that had been hidden for nearly a thousand years and Those huge blood red eyes...
Aiwen raised his vigilance, the stone gate was not opened.
Above the door were carved two intertwined snakes with large, shining emeralds in their eyes.
It is very similar to the two snakes on the gate of the secret room in the castle, but the style of these two snakes looks more simple, like a shrunken basilisk.
If Harry is here, he can use Parseltongue to order the two snakes to open the stone door.
Ivan couldn't do this, but there should be another entrance, and he took the bottle containing Aragog out of the package.
"Aragok, I have come to the underground ruins, and I am standing in front of a huge closed stone door, how can I get in from here?"
"Follow my boy, friend of Hagrid! At the behest of that voice, we opened a portal in the far wall." Click, click, said Aragog weakly, "There, we will capture The prey is sent in through that gap..."
Chapter 316 The Monster on the Wall
What the hell is Aragog saying, follow its children? !
Ivan originally thought it was referring to the acromantula that sent him down here just now, but the other party didn't follow.
However, he quickly understood what the other party meant. With the light from the end of the wand, he saw rows of small spiders crawling hurriedly through the cracks in the ground...
Ivan followed the little spiders and found a hidden cave in the dark corner on the left side of the hall. It was very narrow, and he couldn't find it if he didn't pay attention.
He smiled wryly, this is a passage used by a giant spider.
Fortunately, my figure is relatively thin and I can barely pass.
If older wizards or guys like Goyle and Crabbe come, don't even think about it.
Aiwen put the wand horizontally in front of him, bent down and got into the narrow tunnel full of dust and spider webs.
This passage did not pass directly through the wall, it was winding and rugged, with many forks, like a maze, and it was impossible to tell the specific direction.
Whenever he got lost in it, he took out the bottle containing Aragog.
With the click of its pincers, the old spider can summon its children.
After a while, a few little spiders crawled up to Ivan and led him to choose the right path.
After climbing forward like this for about 10 minutes, Ai Wen's eyes suddenly brightened.
He got out of the crack, his eyes were pitch black, and he couldn't see anything. The endless darkness oppressed from all directions, constantly compressing the light at the end of the wand.
Aiwen felt that his magic was suppressed, and the effect was greatly weakened.An invisible pressure came out from the front, and there seemed to be something...
"Lumos!" He said the spell again, taking a step back.
Aiwen stood against the wall, with his wand firmly across his chest, keeping this posture, if something attacked him, he didn't have to worry about being attacked from the back.
However, nothing happened. He increased the intensity of the magic power transmission, and the faint fluorescence at the end of the wand gradually became brighter, and soon became dazzling.
Under the strong light, Ivan first noticed the walls around him.
Like the uppermost passage, it is covered with colorful murals.
These murals are relatively intact because they were not damaged by the acromantia.
He took a look, and the story on the mural seemed to be a continuation of the previous one, with the evil creature created by the dark wizard and Salazar Slytherin himself on it!
On the wall to the left of Aiwen, the young Slytherin held his wand high and shot a thick green light. He was fighting the monster...
On the wall to the right, Slytherins seem to have overcome each other.
He was standing in front of the strange creature covered in tentacles, and seemed to be casting a magic that Ai Wen had never seen before, and strange light clusters were floating around his body.
Ivan's mind is full of questions, what the hell is Slytherin doing? !
He also wanted to observe other murals, but when he turned around, he suddenly saw Malfoy lying in the middle of the room.
He lay there pale and silent, like an abandoned doll.
Although he didn't care much about Malfoy's life and death, Ivan's heart suddenly rose. He didn't care about anything else, and hurried over.
A voice told him that Malfoy was dead...
However, after Aiwen walked over, he realized that he just fainted. Although his breath was very weak, nothing happened.
Malfoy's expression was alternately calm and painful, as if he was having a nightmare.
Judging by his appearance, he must have been terrified in the dream, and kept calling his parents and Snape's names again and again.
Through previous contact, Aiwen can confirm that the monster that lives on the soul can control other people's dreams, make people fall into fear in sleep, and let it be at its mercy.
This effect is not fatal until the final collapse is swallowed by the other party's soul. Ivan doesn't care whether Malfoy will have a psychological shadow because of it.
After confirming that Malfoy's soul had not been swallowed, Ivan stopped visiting him.
He raised his head and looked around the empty room for the monster, the owner who had whispered in his mind, but saw nothing.
The square room was empty, and there was nothing on the ground except dust.
This is so strange that Ivan dare not relax his vigilance, his mind is highly concentrated, and the muscles of his body are tightly stretched together.
He further increased the transmission of magic power, and the strong light emitted by the wand illuminated every corner.
"Lost lamb, are you looking for me?" A deep whisper suddenly sounded.
"Where are you?" Ivan shouted, "What the hell are you, showing your true colors!"
"The stars can dispel the bone-chilling chill, but the tiny light in your hand cannot dispel the darkness!" whispered softly, "You are resisting tenaciously, as if you can really change everything, but this is just a futile struggle, you will know! "
Accompanied by his voice, the intensity of the light on Aiwen's wand is rapidly shrinking...
A powerful magical pressure hit him head-on. For Aiwen, this was a completely unfamiliar magic power and spell, and he didn't know how to resist it.
The bright light that was originally as dazzling as the sun soon turned into a candle in the wind, flickering and extinguishing, so dim that Lian Aiwen's face could not be clearly illuminated.
"You will understand, no one can escape, even the god of death will die!" A whisper from nowhere continued to echo in Ivan's ears, "Only darkness and loneliness are eternal, and you will all be alone in the end One person, slowly falling into a deep sleep on this land..."
"I'm sorry, I'm not sleepy yet, so I don't want to sleep!" Ai Wen squinted his eyes and replied directly, "And I think the words you have been saying are worthless at all. It's just the same thing over and over again. It's really interesting. Enough annoying!"
In the next second, he suddenly turned around and quickly waved his wand, using the fastest speed, to cast three silver-white spells directly above him, like lightning.
Dumbledore once taught him that all magic will leave traces, as long as he senses it with his heart, he can find it. Although he can't distinguish the direction of the whisper, can't recognize the strange magic used by the other party, and can't crack it, but he can Sense the opponent's magic source.
Alvin stepped back quickly, while looking above his head.
Where the ceiling should have been, he saw a huge round creature.
Most of its body goes deep into the wall, and the exposed part is not so weird. The skin of the whole body is dark purple and extremely rough.
The monster's body was extremely huge, covered with soft tentacles, and it was wriggling constantly, looking very disgusting.
The most striking thing is its eyes, which are a pair of blood-red eyes, cold and heartless, as if there is no warmth at all.
It stared at Aiwen closely, and the darkness in the huge pupil seemed to swallow him mercilessly...
Chapter 317 The wandering madness
Aiwen's heart was pounding, and he looked at the monster above his head in fear.
Its body is completely hidden in the stone wall above the ceiling, and it is tightly covered, only half of its head and huge blood-red eyes are exposed.
Except for the eyes, tentacles and rough skin, no other organs can be seen on the head.
It flicked its tentacles wantonly, its whole body was tattered, and it looked extremely disgusting.The strangest thing about the monster is the pair of huge blood-red eyes, without any emotion in them, cold, indifferent, ruthless, and the slender pupils almost become a straight line.
Inside the pupil is a deep darkness, as if it is connected to the universe, and it seems to be a small black hole, even the light is distorted at that position.
As long as it passes there, nothing can escape and will be ruthlessly devoured...
What the hell is this monster? !
It is exactly the same as the thing created by the dark wizard on the previous mural, but it looks even more shocking in reality.
Ivan was panting, his attack just now had no effect.
The curse seemed to pass straight through the opponent's body, without much consideration, Ivan waved his wand subconsciously, and a red light hit it again.
This time, he saw clearly that his magic passed through the opponent and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye, being swallowed like light.
Strange, what is going on here, is this monster immune to magic? !
"Resistance in vain, your soul will eventually be swallowed by me!" The deep whisper sounded directly in Ivan's mind.
"What the hell are you?" Ivan asked subconsciously, clenched his wand tightly.
"In your eyes, I am called a god, in charge of death and eternal life. Only by believing in me can you know the meaning of peace!" It said quietly, "Lost lamb, I will save you and help you escape death, Trust me! Trust me! Trust me!"
"I don't need your salvation, and I don't need any eternal life!" Ivan shouted, "These temptations of yours are meaningless to me..."
"Is that true? You told me that you are not afraid of death, and you looked at me suspiciously, but you didn't know that in the dream, I already knew you well!" The whisper continued, "I know you hide In the deepest secret of your heart, know your ambition! Look around you, endless darkness is surrounding you. In this sunken ruin, you will fall into a dream, are you dreaming the same dream again..."
