The Shopkeeper of All Worlds in the British Wizarding World

Chapter 112 Finding the Loot

After waiting for more than ten minutes, the absorption of the mutated dragon grass finally ended, and the basilisk turned into a pile of bones.Ryan put on the dragon leather gloves and stepped forward to pick up a bone, but found that the weight was obviously lighter than expected.After a little pinching, the white bones quickly turned into a handful of ashes.

This absorption was too clean. After seeing the basilisk skeleton and confirming that there was nothing of value, Ryan began to carefully check the condition of the mutated pitaya.

From the outside, the pitaya has hardly changed, at most the leaves are greener than before.But in the spiritual connection, Dragon Grass told Ryan that he had undergone a radical change, and that he would actually be born after a while.

born?Thinking of this, Ryan observed the dragon grass again.Only then did I realize that it was not the whole dragon plant that signed the pet contract with me, but the football-sized fruit on the dragon fruit.

It seems that I was too tired just now, and I was negligent for a while and didn't realize it.It seems that I am still inexperienced and not cautious enough. I can't be like this in the future.

When the garbage in the basement was almost cleaned up, Ryan recalled all the robots and sent them back to the Plants vs. Zombies world, and sent the reluctant mutated pitaya back to the grocery store.Then start exploring the secret room.

According to legend, Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets was originally used by him to study some magic that the other three opposed.If this is the case, then there may be other valuable things left in this secret room.

After all, with the size and exquisite decoration of this secret room, it would be a bit too wasteful to simply use it as a basilisk's lair.

As for the statement in "Hogwarts, a School History", Slytherin raised basilisks in the Chamber of Secrets to cleanse the school of Muggle-born wizards.Lane doesn't believe a single letter.

The reason is also very simple: on the one hand, in the battle just now, Ryan discovered that the basilisk is completely a beast with a little intelligence and relying on instinct.Today, there are not many pure-blooded wizards in the British wizarding world, even many families who claim to be pure-blooded.Ryan did not believe that the IQ of the basilisk could make accurate judgments.

On the other hand, the basilisk's abilities are unlikely to completely cleanse Hogwarts.If the sneak attack is concealed, it only takes a few students to sneak attack and the school may be closed.And if you attack by force, the only option is during student gatherings, and professors are often there at that time.The headmaster and professors of Hogwarts have always been strong, and it is definitely not very difficult for them to work together to kill a basilisk.

So what exactly is the basilisk doing?Ryan carefully checked every inch of the secret room with such doubts, trying to find the answer to the question.

After checking all the places inside the secret room and finding no problems, Ryan turned his attention to the statue of Slytherin.After saying the door-opening spell again, Lion slipped through the Slytherin statue's open mouth.

The interior of this cave is very dark and the length is not short. There is a feeling of fear when walking in it.However, the diameter of this tunnel is large enough for an adult to walk upright in it.

After walking more than ten meters, Ryan saw a bright light ahead.After walking a few steps and turning a right-angled turn, he found himself in a stone room.Several transparent crystals are inlaid on the side of the stone chamber, allowing the light from the bottom of the lake to shine in through the crystals.In addition, there is also a dim yellow light from the top of the head.

With these lights, Ryan carefully looked at the stone room.The space was about the size of a classroom, and there was nothing in it except a burning oil lamp overhead.

Ryan just felt a little depressed, and suddenly he woke up with a shock: oil lamp, how could there be an oil lamp in such a confined space?And how could such a small oil lamp burn for such a long time.

After using the hook to hook the oil lamp off, Ryan discovered that it was a very simple bronze oil lamp with a silver Slytherin house symbol inlaid on it.

Most importantly, there is a silver oil bowl in the bronze lamp, and the edge of the oil bowl is embossed with two snake-shaped letters representing the initials of Salazar Slytherin.There is a gold wick in the middle of the oil bowl.The light was burning on the wick, but there was no fuel in the bowl.

This should be the Gublai fairy fire. According to legend, only the most powerful wizard can release this magic, so that the flame can span time and burn forever.

Thinking of this, Ryan hung the oil lamp back to its original position (this oil lamp seems to be a Hogwarts thing made by Slytherin himself, with the logo of Slytherin College on it. This commemorative thing belongs to the school property, It’s not good to take it away. Not to mention that this thing can’t improve people’s abilities, and it can’t be exchanged for money, so it doesn’t make much sense to hold it).Then began to search the entire stone room inch by inch.

Because if there is Dong XZ in the secret room, it should be hidden in this stone room.After all, if this is the case, the basilisk in the Chamber of Secrets can explain it clearly: it is the monster that Slytherin asked to guard the treasure.

After repeatedly searching the empty house for anything other than the oil lamp, Ryan tried to read various requests in snake language.When he spoke the secret of revealing you in snake language, the brightness of the oil lamp suddenly increased several times, a large number of words were displayed on the four walls, and a vivid snake was projected on a corner of the wall.

Is this the legacy of Slytherin?Ryan didn't dare to neglect and immediately entered the Plants vs. Zombies world to get a film camera and rushed back to the house.

During the photo shoot, Lane discovered that the writing was in Latin.Fortunately, he knew Latin numerals, so he took pictures of all the texts according to the Latin numerals at the beginning of each paragraph.

After spending half an hour watching two loops and consuming several rolls of film.Lane determined that the lineages totaled 186 pages.It's a pity that he basically didn't know what was written on it, and it seemed that he had to figure out a way after going out.

After confirming that there were no omissions, Ryan tried to say in snake language to the wall where a snake had been projected just now: "Open."

From the otherwise smooth stone wall emerged a door made of stone with an exquisite serpentine bronze doorknob.

Ryan grabbed the doorknob and pulled it hard, and the door opened easily, which made him almost fall because he didn't have a good balance when he pushed the door vigorously.It was a very shocking discovery that everything in the Chamber of Secrets was functioning normally under the protection of Slytherin magic even after thousands of years.

Behind the door is a spiral upward staircase. Ryan finally stopped at a wall after walking up the stairs for more than ten minutes.

After opening it again in snake language, the wall quickly moved to both sides to reveal a small door for only one person to enter and exit.Looking through the door, Ryan could see the tapestries in the corridor outside the door and the torches burning on the wall.It appears that he has returned to the castle.
