Chinese students at Hogwarts.

Chapter 510 Underground Prison
This snake head is not conspicuous and there is more than one. It looks like an exquisite decoration.

And there were no traces of magic on it, what really gave it away were the slight scratches on the underside of the snake's head.

If it weren't for the extremely high clarity of the Dharma Eye, it would be really hard to spot.

Zhang Xiao walked up to the snake head decoration. The silver snake head reflected the light under the light. The snake head was very delicately made, with an open mouth and sharp fangs.

Even the eyes are inlaid with two fine emeralds, which are lifelike.

Before Tom loses his mind, he really needs to have a brain and an emotional intelligence.

Those who can enter here must be extraordinary wizards, and they are extremely powerful. They can even break the magic outside, so obviously placing magic on the snake's head cannot stop it.

But he went against the grain and chose mechanisms that only Muggles could have, focusing on reverse thinking.

Zhang Xiao arched his body and carefully looked at the marks under the snake's head, thinking to himself that judging from the scratches, he should have held down and slid down.

I reached out and tried shaking the snake's head, but as expected, it didn't move at all.

He clicked his tongue softly, but didn't pay much attention to it. The mechanism was definitely here, but there should be a sequence to unlock it. 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 code.

More of them are 789123 and 741852.

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

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

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

oh? There is a door!

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

The chopsticks were inserted deeply into the chopsticks with a "click" sound, and a transparent and viscous liquid dripped down the holes in the chopsticks.

Before it was over, a thin silver needle shot out of the snake's open mouth silently. Zhang Xiao lifted the chopsticks in his hand slightly and knocked the silver needle down.

Put the chopsticks in front of your eyes and observe carefully. The power of the snake fangs is very strong. The liquid on them must be poison?

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

But this password is a bit simple. To simplify it, it means how many combinations of abcd there are.

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 done in about half an hour.

Sure enough, when the broken chopstick pressed the last fang, Zhang Xiao heard a very small sound from the computer, but the fang did not pop out again.

He pressed the snake's head and made a strong stroke. With the sound of the hinges moving, the bookshelf suddenly shook and moved to the side.

A downward hole was exposed, and gusts of cold wind blew out from inside.

The passage was very dark, perhaps to completely block other people's sight. 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. After going down about a hundred steps, you arrived at another room.

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

The room was very large, and what concerned him most was the other side of the room, where there were several iron cells with white bones inside, piled together.

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

There are only a dozen or so bones here. Zhang Xiao recalled the diary he had read, and he was afraid that more bones had been disposed of, but he had just killed them before leaving.

In addition, there is a smaller skeleton lying outside the iron prison. Compared with human beings, its skeleton is slightly weird.

This is the skeleton of an elf
With Tom's ability, it's not surprising that he got an elf. No wonder the castle is so well-kept inside and out. It turns out to be an elf.
I thought Tom was once a person who loved life.

Take it outside for burial when the time comes. Zhang Xiao sighed and walked straight to the table, which was filled with rolled parchment and black notebooks of the same style.

These things were enchanted and remained intact in this environment.

After a rough look, most of them were about the experimental process. The cold text only said that the experimental subject died, the experimental subject exploded, and the experimental subject screamed and turned into blood.
It records the miserable conditions of various experiments. Perhaps in order to better record the results of the experiments, Voldemort recorded them in great detail.

The more you look at Zhang Xiao, the angrier you get. Chinese people can't stand this and will trigger the anger buff.

He simply threw the experimental records aside and focused on what Slytherin left behind and Voldemort's annotations.

At the same time, strong doubts arose in my heart.

Why did Slytherin perform such horrific body modifications?
The statue in the secret room should be what he looked like in his later years. It already looks terrifying, completely different from the handsome portrait. Even if the shelf life is shortened, it won't look like this, right?
If it was purely for power, it seems that there is no need to do this. Wizards of this level have already found their own way.

As long as you follow your own path, you will surely reach the top.

Or is it that he has touched the ceiling and wants to use this method to break the ceiling and 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 filled with Voldemort's records.

"Slytherin is indeed the greatest of the Big Four. While following his footsteps, I saw many shocking records. His research on magic was so in-depth.

That kind of thought made me unable to help but marvel.
After the fusion, my strength has indeed increased a lot. According to Slytherin, I still need to get rid of those useless emotions and keep myself calm forever.
Maybe I’ll also add a little bit of other magical animal blood?
But I can't wait to go to the next place, where deep secrets are said to be buried.
The origin 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 a god needs to lower his noble head under his wand! "

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

The whole person disappeared.

"This is Tom's former residence? To my surprise, it's very beautiful." Dumbledore looked at the surrounding water and flowers with interest, obviously he was surprised by this peaceful and beautiful place.

I don't know where the breeze came from, and these flowers swayed. The rich floral fragrance was carried by the wind, and just a gentle breath intoxicated the entire sense of smell.

"Yes, Professor, I was also surprised when I first came in. I always thought Voldemort -" Zhang Xiao made a hand gesture: "I always thought he would live in a place like a cave."

Dumbledore smiled and was in a good mood, and the two of them strolled towards the castle.

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

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

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

Moreover, those who participated in the stadium incident only accounted for a very small part, and compared to the overall number of Muggles, they were even miniscule.

If we start a war rashly, we will definitely 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, his blue eyes showing a hint of exhaustion:
"After persuasion, most wizards have accepted this concept, but the idea of ​​revenge is still there, and they have turned their attention to the church and the Muggles who participated."

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

There is no problem at all in labeling the church as an enemy. The hostility between the two sides has lasted for more than a day or two, and the church has done such a big thing. It would be strange for the wizards not to take revenge.

But the problem is that the church itself knows it, so why do they keep lurking?
Those 10,000 demon hunters and hundreds of priests are already all the strength they have accumulated over the years. Otherwise, would they have to secretly capture those lone wizards?

Do you need to clean off all traces? Aren't you just afraid of wizards?

So he expanded crazily, working hard to spread his network to the top of other countries, trying to integrate himself with Muggle society.

If you want to attack the church accurately, it is probably not easy for anyone except Dumbledore to take action personally, but Dumbledore definitely doesn't have time now. He has to coordinate the entire wizarding world.

"Let's not talk about this for now. Let's go take a look at what Tom left behind. I have many questions that I want to get answered. Maybe they are hidden in Tom's records."

The two of them went all the way to the hidden dark room. During this period, 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's self-effacement. With his incredible strength, it was really difficult for anything to stump him.

Arriving in the Chamber of Secrets, as expected, Dumbledore fell into silence looking at the bones, and in the end he only let out a long sigh.

The old man picked up the manuscripts and looked at them carefully. Sometimes he frowned and thought, sometimes he suddenly realized, and most of the time he just looked at them seriously.

When he put down the manuscript, Zhang Xiao immediately cheered up and made a gesture of listening carefully.

"So. Tom's crazy body modification was influenced by Slytherin? He thought this was a path to infinite power?"

"I guess so, but I don't understand why Slytherin would study human body modification? Is he so powerful that he must carry out such a modification?"

Dumbledore shook his head. It had been too long. Thousands of years had completely covered up many secrets. Even he had no way of knowing.

Zhang Xiao continued to ask without giving up: "What about the secrets of Greece and the gods that Voldemort mentioned last time? Professor, do you know about them?"

Dumbledore still shook his head, but after pondering for a while, he said softly:
"It's true that Greece is the birthplace of wizards. Many legends originated there, or if wizards from many countries trace their origins, they can be involved in their own myths.

I once wanted to explore this secret, but unfortunately, before I could start, I got caught up in rounds of disputes and was forced to end the trip. "

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

Zhang Xiao sighed regretfully and asked again:

"Professor, we have discussed the issue of prophecy and Slater's letter. I wonder if your subsequent investigation has any conclusions regarding the annihilation crisis mentioned by Slytherin?"

Dumbledore's eyebrows stretched, and he smiled gently:
"I focused on tracing the traces of Slytherin, especially his life after leaving the academy. Thank God, I found certain clues. However, frequent incidents occurred in the wizarding world and I was unable to conduct more tracing."

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

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

When I get back, I will transfer the corresponding information to you. If you have time during the trip, you may wish to continue checking it. "

Zhang Xiao nodded but didn't say anything.

Next, the two of them packed up everything Voldemort left behind, especially Slytherin's manuscripts. No one would remember them after Voldemort was destroyed.

Zhang Xiao put away the extremely comfortable chair. Such comfortable chairs were rare.

Finally, the old man and the young man took the bones outside and simply dug a hole and buried them.

When preparing to leave, Dumbledore seemed to have finally made up his mind:
"Zhang, if you want to track down what Tom said about the gods, I have a good suggestion. Are you willing to listen to it?"

"Of course, very happy to teach."

Dumbledore paused and said softly:
"Egyptian Pyramids!"

The last volume is mainly to explore the world and lead to the final ending. It also enriches the world view and tries to achieve my original goal, which is to complete the HP world view.

I will continue to think about the new book. This time it will definitely not involve politics!
