Chapter 1696: An Empty Vault
In the blink of an eye, the boiling molten slurry became more and more intense.
The molten lava began to surge like a wave, crashing against the rocks and splashing outward, as if it could erupt at any moment.
It's like a monster hiding something underneath, about to burst out of the chrysalis.
The dragon roared and circled low, sending bouts of manic emotion to Evan through the link of magic.
It tried to escape, but Aven kept it from leaving, and it began to resist Aven's Imperius curse.
Evan increased his magic to suppress the dragon's resistance, but this was only a superficial vision, and the invisible flow of magic was even more terrifying.
"This magic ......," Harry paused with a blank expression.
"Go on, Harry!" shouted Aven, raising his wand as a magical barrier appeared to protect them.
The splash of molten was cut off by a magical barrier, and Harry looked at Aven and began to chant the incantation on the door again. This is a guided spell that doesn't require much strength from the caster itself, as long as Harry can finish reciting the parseltongue on the vault door, the power of the spell itself can drive the magic left here to open the vault.
Aven could feel that after Harry began to read the words on the door in the Parseltongue dialect, the magic around him began to converge towards the Slytherin locket in the center of the gate, and this locket was converging the magic to attract it, just as it had done many times before, and the huge magic that was free from the molten slurry began to gather under its attraction, all converged on the locket, and then was transformed by the locket, and was turned to the Parseltongue words at both ends in an energetic way.
Infused with energy, the Parseltongue spell on the door glowed with a golden glow.
This is the color of energy, and the gold emanating from the spell on the door is the color of the magic that was originally dissolved in the magma.
The light becomes more and more dazzling, and when the energy infused reaches a certain level, the door will be opened, which is why Salazar Slytherin built the vault here in the first place, in addition to being located deep underground to make it easy to use molten to protect the vault, but also to ensure the supply of magic to open this special door.
As the magic progressed, the spells covered in gold became more and more numerous, and soon covered the entire gate.
Infused with powerful magic, the dark gold flows slowly upwards and eventually merges into the emeralds that make up the Slytherin family crest.
Like the incantations on the door, the emeralds were lit up, emitting a pale green glow.
One, two, three......
In the blink of an eye, the entire Slytherin family crest was filled with magic, and the capital S seemed to come to life.
It looked condescendingly at Harry, chanting a spell in front of the door, like a snake, as if ready to pounce on him, but the worrying scene didn't happen, and almost as soon as the magic poured over the emblem, the door clicked and split apart in the center of the groove where the wand was placed, revealing a hole.
In the next second, the vibration stopped.
When all was calm, they opened the Slytherin vaults.
After a thousand years in the dust, this ancient vault has been opened again.
Through the glow of the molten slurry, I can vaguely see that it is a circular room inside.
It was not filled with gold and silver jewels like other vaults, but with shelves along the walls.
"We opened it, Salazar Slytherin's vault!" Hermione said excitedly, squeezing Aven's hand tightly, "It's unbelievable." ”
"yes, but it's happening right now, let's go in and see what Salazar Slytherin has left behind. Evan said.
"Wait, Aven!" Hermione hurriedly stopped him, "Isn't there any other magic in there?"
"There won't be any danger, right?" Harry asked, the magic that had opened the door to the vault still lingering on him.
"Well, it's hard to say, because you can't trust the elves, wizards often cast spells in their own vaults to protect the contents from being stolen, just like the contents of the Lestrange family's vaults are all cast with a hybrid spell that kills people, but I don't think Slytherin will use this kind of magic. Evan said, looking cautiously inside, "And I don't feel any traces of magic, and I don't think there's any other magic...... In fact, there seems to be nothing here. ”
The shelves were empty, or there were things on them, but they had decayed and dissipated over the millennium.
It was so frustrating that they had gone to great lengths to open Salazar Slytherin's vault, but there was nothing in it.
Legendary magic items, ancient magic books, powerful magic potions, and even gold and silver jewelry, none of which ......
"Shrewd Slytherin, from that quagmire! He only trusts wizards of the purest blood, and the Mudbloods can't get anything from him!" Evan muttered softly, leading Harry, Hermione, and Elaine inside, "Be careful, see if you can find anything." ”
Evan looked at the empty vault, could it be that Slytherin had already guessed that he would open his vault.
So, he shifted everything early, just because Evan wasn't a pure-blooded wizard.
This is ridiculous, but given Salazar Slytherin's personality, it is possible.
Or maybe the vault was once opened by the descendants of House Slytherin, who came in and took everything inside......
Given the time factor, there is also a high probability that this will happen.
"There's nothing here. Elaine joked, "It seems that my ancestor didn't intend to leave me anything." ”
"Probably that's the main reason why the elves aren't curious about this place. "Although the results are disappointing, we ......"
"Aven, Harry, come and see this!" Hermione shouted suddenly, pausing against a wall.
Could it be that the location of this wall is just below the Slytherin family insignia?
Aiwen and the others hurried over and saw a small silver snake painted in the inconspicuous part of the wall.
It's the Chamber of Secrets again!
Salazar Slytherin really liked to build secret rooms, and the silver snakes on the walls were exactly the same as the entrance to the school's secret rooms.
"Open!" Harry stepped forward and hissed in a parseltongue at the little silver snake.
The little snake seemed to understand him and swam forward.
In the next second, the wall shook and slid to the sides, leaking out another hole, and inside was a spiraling staircase.
"Alright, well, it's another secret room, take a closer look around, and if there's anything special, say it right away. "Shrewd Salazar Slytherin, it seems that he likes to play tricks with us, and always keeps some secrets hidden, which is really troublesome!"
