Chapter 59: The Secret Treasure of the Four
Under the watchful eye of the legendary Big Four, Evan told everything he knew, from Hogwarts a thousand years later to the current state of the wizarding world.
He spoke very carefully, and the four people on the other side also listened very carefully.
They were very interested in the operation of their house, the situation of the students, the school's curriculum, content, etc., and Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, and Hufflepuff interrupted Evan from time to time to ask questions.
Only Slytherin didn't say a word, and he listened quietly to Aven's narration, his face darkening and darkening.
Apparently, he was surprised that wizards were at peace with Muggles after a thousand years. What made it even more difficult for him to accept was that more and more pure-blood families began to intermarry Muggle wizards, and pure blood seemed to be a joke rather than a supreme honor.
It wasn't until after Evan said something about the Falling Ground Demon that he jerked to his feet.
"Enough, Mudbloods! You are insulting the great House of Slytherin when you say that my descendants will become evil dark wizards. ”
Evan felt a powerful feeling of oppression come over him, overwhelming him, but the oppression quickly subsided, and Gryffindor stood up in front of him.
"Evan wasn't insulting the Slytherins, he was just stating the facts. Godric continued, "Obviously, your descendant, the dark wizard called Voldemort, has some ideas that are very similar to yours, and I have long said that this is a dangerous idea. ”
"Bloodline, power, power, Salazar, that's exactly what you and those pure-blood wizard families have always looked at. "It's not wrong to do whatever it takes to get there, but sometimes we should be more principled. ”
"Overindulgence in power will blind a man's eyes," Rowena whispered, "and only the smartest can avoid this, it is the wizard who wields the magic, not the magic that manipulates the wizard." ”
Hearing the words of the other three, Slytherin rarely did not refute, and he sat back dejectedly, and there was not even the slightest blood on his already pale face.
Gryffindor motioned for Evan to continue, and Evan thought for a moment and decided not to talk about the history of Slytherin's eventual departure from the school due to an argument with the other three. Otherwise, looking at Slytherin's face, it is very likely that he will directly put a curse on himself.
He hesitated for a long time before telling what was happening in the chamber.
"Oh my God, Salazar, you built a secret room inside the school and left a basilisk behind?!" Godric said in surprise, "I didn't know. ”
"Well, this is my castle, and I have the right to make the necessary changes to it, and to leave something to my descendants that will help them. Then again, don't think I don't know you have built a lot of secret rooms in the castle too. ”
"That's right, but I never thought of leaving a basilisk behind"
"That's not the point, gentlemen!" Rowena said softly, "the point is the journal that Evan just mentioned, and if I'm not mistaken, it's most likely a Horcrux. ”
"Horcrux?!"
The other three were stunned for a moment, and after a long time, Helga muttered, "You mean the evil spell left behind by that dastardly Helbo?"
Ravenclaw nodded slightly, as if a signal, the room suddenly fell silent, no one spoke, and the atmosphere gradually became solemn.
"It's insane, who would want to split their own souls? I don't see any other use than to turn themselves into a monster. ”
"You can live forever, but the guy who split his soul may not know that this practice is nothing more than his broken soul, trapped in an illusion forever, and can neither go to death nor become a ghost. ”
"It's not a matter of philosophy anymore!" Godric suddenly stood up, "Salazar, Horcruxes can only be made by killing, and this evil spell that defies the laws of nature will drive that descendant insane and eventually destroy everything he can touch, including Hogwarts." ”
"If that's what you say, then I'll take him personally, and the honor of the Slytherin family can't be tarnished!" Salazar said with a grim face, "but until then, I still have all my thoughts. The future that this mudblood says makes me feel very uncomfortable. ”
"Alright, well, you can choose to leave a basilisk for your heir, but we must also do something to give hope to the future of Hogwarts, and I don't want the school to be ruined by a madman who can't be killed. Godric paced back and forth in the room.
"That Chamber of Secrets of yours, Salazar!" Rowena whispered, "we can build a real Chamber of Secrets there, and leave something in it that only the true heir who meets all of our requirements can open it, in the most perilous hour of Hogwarts." ”
"The idea is simply fantastic, to leave some trials and secret treasures for the school's descendants, to test the ideas of the four of us, while protecting Hogwarts from destruction by the evil Dark Wizards. Godric said excitedly, "I agree with Rowener's suggestion, what do you think?"
"I have no opinion!" Helga nodded with a smile.
"Whatever you want, but I'm going to do what I want. Salazar snorted gloomily.
Evan looked at the four people opposite with excited faces speechlessly, the secret treasure left by the Hogwarts Four, what is this, a treasure game?!
"In that case, let's go to that secret room and have a look. Rowena turned to look at Aven, "As for you, I checked the time turner just now, and it was activated in an incorrect way, which is why it took you to this time period that you don't exist. ”
"So what should I do now, can I go back?" asked Evan worriedly.
"Don't worry, but we'll have to hurry, and when the time transformer magic wears off, you'll be sent back to the right time. "Until then, you have to go back to where you were so that you don't have any accidents." ”
Hearing her words, Gryffindor put away the idea of taking Evan around, and Hufflepuff also expressed regret that he couldn't let Evan taste the food she cooked, and the five of them went back to the Chamber of Secrets with the Slytherin portkey.
In the secret room, Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, and Hufflepuff looked around with satisfaction, this is indeed the best place to hide treasure.
"Here, mudbloods, you fell from this place. ”
Slytherin led Aven to where his statue had been, and time passed closer and closer to his return.
"Ingenuity is humanity's greatest treasure!" Rowena said in her peculiarly hoarse, ethereal voice, "Goodbye, Evan Mason! ”
"Come on, Aven!" said Helga cheerfully, "I'll leave my treasured recipes in it, and if I can find them, they'll be yours." ”
"Listen, boy!" Godric clenched his fists loudly, "I'll leave a few of Gryffindor's most powerful, weapons and beat that dark wizard hard." Don't let me down, if you let me know that a Slytherin student opened the Chamber of Secrets and see how I clean you up. ”
Salazar Slytherin didn't speak, he looked unhappy, staring at Evan with a dark face, until Avene's figure was fading and about to disappear, he suddenly took a step forward and shoved something into Avene's palm.
"The potion is a gift for my offspring for hurting you. ”
The cold voice of Slytherin reached Aven's ears, and before he could say anything, the world swirled in front of him, and he returned to normal time.
He was lying inside the Slytherin statue, and what had just happened was like a dream.
