Hogwarts White Knight
Chapter 73 Recognition
"Looks like our journey ends here."
Dumbledore shook his head, walked to the ladder, waved his wand, and sealed it with a charm.
At this point where Quirrell disappeared, if there was still a secret passage to the outside of the castle...
It's hard for anything good to happen.
"Okay, let's go back."
After a moment, Dumbledore said with a tired look on his face.
"Professor? Aren't you going to handle this door?"
Gawain is a little confused.
No matter from any angle, this metal door looks weirder and more threatening.
"Door?"
Dumbledore was suddenly startled.
"volo noscere!"
His hand pressed down sharply, and the milky white light beside him suddenly flickered.
"Gawain, describe the characteristics of that door."
The white wizard's face was cloudy and hard to distinguish, with ravines and ravines on his face. The wand in his hand kept waving, carving out seemingly irregular lines one after another.
They appeared from the air and turned into a big net, surrounding the door bit by bit.
"Well...it's made of bronze, engraved with two small snakes, and the snake's eyes are full of jade.
Professor, can't you see?
I mean, it's there. "
Gawain asked hesitantly.
"Unfortunately, I am no longer young and have made my 'choice', and can only find it through some trivial means.
But I think, since you can see it, you must have found a way to open it? "
Dumbledore stepped aside half a step, indicating that Gawain could step forward and try to open the door.
"I have cast every protective spell imaginable, occult and non-occult, so you may feel free to try it.
The great Salazar Slytherin made a different choice than I did. But I think, at least in terms of guardianship, I still have some insights and experiences. "
As if sensing Gawain's doubts, Dumbledore patted him on the shoulder, indicating not to worry.
Gawain walked carefully to the door.
He only knew that the node was the gem at the snake's eye, but he didn't know what to do specifically.
"poineme (show me the way)."
Gawain gently tapped the snake's eyes with the wand, and Gawain tried to release a guiding spell.
This spell is suitable for complex environments, such as forests or mazes, and can provide the wizard with directional suggestions. It may point to the exit, it may point to the entrance, or it may even be impossible to find the direction.
But in general, it is more reasonable than methods such as throwing a shoe into the sky or depending on where the branch points.
Of course, Gawain did not use it to guide the way at this time, but because it was not offensive in any way, so it could be "tolerated" by many curses or guardians.
"Invalid?"
Gawain waited for a moment and took the wand back. Dumbledore looked on with interest, seemingly unprepared to intervene.
But the moment Gawain's wand left the snake's eyes, the snake seemed to suddenly turn into a living creature and crawled a short distance on the door.
Accompanied by the sound of "click, click" mechanism activity, the bronze door was suddenly opened. But it was covered by a layer of glow inside, and Gawain still couldn't see clearly.
"The inheritance qualification is recognized. As Godric's chosen heir, you have a chance to choose."
An old voice suddenly sounded.
The colorful glow suddenly dissipated, and the interior of the bronze door was clearly divided into three parts.
On the far left are several large scary shelves filled with books. Although Gawain couldn't tell the title of the book clearly, judging from their complicated decorations, they were undoubtedly the top and most profound ones.
In the middle, there are several large boxes. They don't look conspicuous at all, but Gawain has no doubt about the value contained in them - there are a lot of top-quality gems there.
On the far right, instead, is a worn-out short copper staff. It's not a wand or any magic item, it has a snake engraved on the top.
"You can choose any of my knowledge, wealth, and glory to take away. But I want to remind you that my glory may have been inherited by others in your time."
A gold coin, a piece of parchment, and a brooch flew out of the room, floating in front of Gawain, waiting for his decision.
Under the witness of Merlin, Gawain had never made such a choice. Choosing any one of them will mean that he will lose the other (or two) priceless wealth.
He looked at Dumbledore, but Dumbledore was standing there, carefully looking at the patterns on the wall.
It seemed like it was some kind of Van Gogh painting.
Among these three choices, Gawain prefers knowledge the most, followed by wealth, and finally the damn short staff that represents glory.
"But this is the secret room left by Slytherin. Maybe he prefers the heir to choose a short staff?"
Gawain thought.
"But he said that he was preparing for the heir chosen by Gryffindor to stay."
But almost no one knew about the conflict between Slytherin and Gryffindor. Why did he leave a legacy for the people chosen by Gryffindor in the underground secret room?
And Salazar Slytherin...
Thinking of what happened in the Forbidden Forest, Gawain took two deep breaths before making a difficult decision.
—His wand reached for the short staff.
It wasn't that he didn't covet the knowledge and wealth, but that he simply couldn't believe Salazar Slytherin, especially such a pie-in-the-sky thing.
At the moment Gawain made his decision, the room was once again filled with colorful glow, making it difficult to see clearly.
But this time is different from before.
For Gawain heard the sound of the cane.
"What a cautious boy. You should come to my academy instead of following that baboon or the bird woman! Now tell me your name."
As if stepping out of the light, an old man, a stooped old man holding a short staff, walked out of the room.
His beard and hair were all white and tangled into a mess.
Gawain had seen this face less than half an hour ago, and it belonged to Salazar Slytherin.
The true owner of the Chamber of Secrets.
"Yes, what could be more convenient for choosing a successor than leaving one of you behind?"
Gawain thought and looked at Dumbledore.
But he was still studying the patterns on the wall.
"Mr. Wade White, Slytherin...?"
Gawain barely hesitated for a moment before blurting out a false name. He has not forgotten what he can do after having his opponent's name.
"Hey, smart boy, do you think your little trick can be successful? White, what a strange surname. When my stupid descendant came here, he told me that there were only 28 purebloods left in the wizarding world. But although I I'm old, but I don't remember there was a White.
And where is the woman's crown? Why did you find this place without putting it on? "
Salazar stabbed the ground with his stick and became aggressive.
“I will not approve of you, Mudblood.
Your dirty bloodline is not worthy of any inheritance left by me, Salazar Slytherin, the greatest of the Four! "
His voice echoed throughout the passage.
