Mixed With Marvel's Hogwarts Professor

Chapter 145: The Unreliable Parseltongue (Second Update, Please Subscribe)

Hogwarts, Slytherin Chamber of Secrets.

Deep in the underground water pipe, there is a slightly dark underground palace.

On the edge of the palace, tall and generous stone pillars topped the surroundings.

On the floor of the palace, it was visible to the naked eye that there was a large amount of stagnant water scattered on it.

At this moment, in the very center of the palace floor, a huge amounts of boa constrictor or basilisk looked up and stared ahead.

The huge eyes of the basilisk exude a faint yellow light, but it is faintly visible, something like glass seems to be blocking something?

On the head of the basilisk, a handsome blond man stood on it, as if observing the various intricate lines on the nearby stone pillars.

At this moment, Lockhart is observing the densely packed ancient runes on the stone pillar with great interest.

Amazement flashed in his eyes, the more he observed, the more he found that Slytherin definitely had profound attainments in the field of alchemy.

Every stone pillar here can be counted as a magic item.

These stone pillars are spread all over the surroundings, acting as pillars, as if they are suppressing something, or calling for something?

It can even be said that if the stone pillars are damaged in a large area, the entire Slytherin Chamber of Secrets will further collapse.

After observing for a while, Lockhart passed the contract to let the basilisk slowly lower its head to touch the ground.

Soon, Lockhart jumped lightly and stepped onto the marble floor of the palace.

Stepping on some stagnant water, walking like a mural deep in the stone pillar.

Looking at the content on the mural, Lockhart found that, in addition to the content closely related to Slytherin, there were some related scenes about the creation of Hogwarts with his three friends.

Moreover, according to the content on the mural, it is found that the relationship between the three is quite good.

As for the back, why did the four separate?

Some people say it's because of blood, some people say it's because of black magic, the specific reason can only be asked by Slytherin himself.

Through the murals, Lockhart could only find that the four of them had a good relationship.

Therefore, this chamber of secrets should have been constructed during the period when the founders of Hogwarts had a relatively harmonious relationship.

Thoughts flashed through, Lockhart opened the Parseltongue tome in his hand, recalling the opening method described by the punished Tom in his mind.

Gently click on a group of words above, and soon, a hoarse and eerie voice came from the book.

"Hiss. Hiss. Hiss. (In the name of Slytherin, open the Chamber of Secrets)"

boom!

Under Lockhart's gaze, the mural seemed to have received some order, and suddenly moved to the sides, revealing a dark corridor.

As Lockhart swung the magic wand lightly, a ball of light entered the corridor, dispelling the darkness and illuminating the surroundings.

However, the corridor doesn't seem to be short, or the space extension spell that was cast.

This surprised Lockhart slightly.

Then

"Snake monster, shrink your body and go in to explore the way."

Lockhart waved his hand, touching the contract, conveying his meaning like a basilisk.

He wasn't stupid, Slytherin was a famous black necromancer, although Tom said there was no danger.

But he didn't verify anything and just believed what Voldemort said, which was really stupid to the extreme.

sand! sand! sand!

Under Lockhart's gaze, the basilisk's huge body began to shake, and its size began to shrink slowly.

After a while, it has shrunk by at least half, and its size can easily enter the corridor, and there is even a lot of room to spare.

Seeing this, Lockhart nodded slowly, and waved his hand to signal for him to enter the corridor to find the way for him.

The basilisk can shrink its body, this is an ability that is known only after signing the contract.

It's just that snake blocks generally don't shrink their bodies, and it's most comfortable for them to keep their original bodies.

Only in extremely special circumstances, will it actively shrink, such as fleeing for life

Definitely, if there is an order from Lockhart, it is a different matter.

A moment later, Lockhart raised his eyebrows slightly. He actually found that the basilisk was not damaged at all, as if there were no traps, and found a spacious space.

It seems that Tom who has been punished is a good boy!

Lockhart nodded slightly, waved his wand, and the ball of light once again poured into the dark corridor, followed by Lockhart.

With every step, the ball of light moved forward, keeping Lockhart's vision bright.

The environment of the tunnel is different from the outside.

The outside may be connected to underground water pipes, so there is a lot of stagnant water.

Although the corridor has a musty smell, it is very dry.

tread! tread! tread!

As Lockhart walked towards the depths of the corridor step by step, he soon came to the spacious space prompted by the basilisk, to be precise, it was a spacious stone chamber

but

The stone statue Tom mentioned does not exist. On the contrary, in front of Lockhart, it is just a normal square with a huge amounts of picture scroll hanging on it.

And on the picture scroll, it was Slytherin himself wearing a green necromancer robe.

What surprised Lockhart was that, if he guessed correctly, this scroll should have experienced nearly a thousand years of baptism, but it looks like new.

In the process of his thinking.

suddenly

boom!

The entrance of the palace outside was shut with a bang, while a dark green light curtain quietly appeared at the entrance of the stone chamber.

It's as if no one is allowed to go out.

Perception of this scene, Lockhart's face was a little ugly, and he subconsciously picked up his wand.

Also call on the Basilisk to keep him on the offensive.

sand! sand! sand!

The body of the basilisk twisted slightly, making a rustling sound as it rubbed against the ground.

He raised his head, shook the snake's head slightly, and spit out the snake letter, as if he was perceiving something, or preparing for something.

"What should I call you? Mr. Portrait, or Mr. Slytherin."

Lockhart fixed his eyes on the weird portrait in front of him, and asked vigilantly.

The most abnormal thing in the whole stone chamber is this brand new portrait.

If you say there is no problem, who will believe it!

"Hiss hiss (little snake, get down, don't move)"

The moment Lockhart finished speaking, a hoarse, gloomy, eerie, and evil voice came from the portrait—it was the voice of Parseltongue.

After the basilisk heard it, it struggled a little, and then slowly lowered its head.

When Lockhart heard it, a sneer flashed across his face, and he whispered the contract, stimulating the basilisk to wake up.

In an instant, the basilisk raised its head again, spit out snake letters, and made an attack on the portrait.

He already knew that Parseltongue was unreliable. Or rather, it was too reliable.

So that whoever has a Parselmouth can control the Basilisk.

With a flash of thought, Lockhart flicked his wand lightly, and a ball of fire quietly floated in the sky, spinning continuously, emitting hot sparks from time to time.

Lockhart shook his wand, and the fireball flickered in the air, as if threatening something.

"Students of Royna, don't worry, I have no malicious intentions."

Under Lockhart's gaze, the Slytherin on the portrait spoke slowly.

And he glanced at the fireball floating in front of him, turning a blind eye, as if he wasn't worried at all.

Seeing this, Lockhart was expressionless.

He didn't say much, just poured magic power slightly to make the fireball even hotter.

At the same time, the voice was flat and uninteresting, repeating again: "Please answer my question."

"What should I call you? Mr. Portrait, or Mr. Slytherin."
