Chapter 315: Parseltongue and Hidden Secrets

That's right, this is a statue of Salazar Slytherin himself. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info

Surrounded by silver bands of light, he held a wand in his hand, the end of which was slightly tilted downward, as if he was casting some kind of magic, and the expression on his face was extremely serious.

Unlike the Slytherin statue that Aven had seen before, this statue was neither the old Slytherin with the long beard in the Chamber of Secrets, which looked like an old monkey. It's not a middle-aged man with a handsome appearance, a calm demeanor, and everything under control, but a Slytherin when he was a teenager.

He was even younger than the Slytherin that Evan had seen in person a thousand years ago, and Salazar would have been about the same age as Evan when the statue was completed.

Or a little bigger, maybe fifteen or six.

The face at the top of the statue, in addition to being handsome, gives people a sense of heroism and an indescribable temperament.

It's like an unsheathed sword, shining with cold light and extremely sharp.

"Noble and immortal Slotlin, who value bloodline and honor, they judge the situation, protect themselves wisely, and victory is paramount......" Evan couldn't help but say softly.

Although it is only a stone sculpture of Salazar from his youth, it perfectly embodies the qualities that Slytherin has long valued.

Even the most prejudiced people against this academy have to admit it.

Evan looked at the statue closely, he looked a little like Tom Riddle when he was a student, with black jade hair, a long and thin body, but his demeanor was more confident, and he had the air of a medieval aristocracy.

If there is one thing in common, it is that both men have a grim smile on the corner of their mouths.

Evan didn't know what Voldemort would have thought when he saw his ancestors, and as of what he was, he hadn't been inside the cave. This is very much in keeping with Voldemort's usual style, where he thinks he has everything in his hands and disdains to delve into the magical creatures he despises and Muggle-born wizards.

But in reality, he missed out on a lot of valuable things because of it.

Evan looked around closely, and with the eight-eyed spider behind him, he slowly descended to the feet of the giant Slytherin statue.

Like the chamber, the floor is paved with cyan marble.

Beneath the thick dust, the marble is carved with dark gold ornaments, silently telling of the glory of the past.

In addition to this, there are various stone fragments on the ground.

Evan stepped forward, raising his wand aloft.

He found himself standing in the middle of a large circular underground hall, the décor of which was unrecognizable due to the destruction of the eight-eyed spider.

Silvery floats descended sporadically from the sky, like dots of starlight, scattered across the Slytherin statues and the massive stone pillars that surrounded them.

In the silent, empty hall, he was the only one standing here.

The faint fluorescence from the end of the wand in Aven's hand seemed so small in the darkness, and the stone carvings that had remained unchanged for nearly a thousand years seemed to have come to a standstill.

In the oppressive silence, he could clearly feel the existence of time.

By the light of his wand, not far from Slytherin's feet, he saw a large stone altar with words carved into it, and Evan walked over to check it.

Like the surrounding décor and walls, the altar was destroyed by the Eight-Eyed Spider and split into several pieces, leaving only the massive base.

He picked up a slightly larger piece of wreckage and held it in his hand to observe for himself, the words engraved on it were very strange.

"This is ......" As if thinking of something, Evan hurriedly turned out the Slytherin locket hanging from his chest, and compared the two to each other.

It's all twisted snake-like symbols, and they're all a kind of text. As for the text on the Slytherin locket, Aven studied for a long time, looking up many books related to ancient magic patterns, but did not find any information about it.

However, in the ancient astrological texts, he found some clues.

In the center of the locket, the green gems are carved with patterns that are all symbols and azimuths of ancient astrologers, which refer to the astrological knowledge of the measurement of the relative angles of the planets and their relationship to each other.

Because it's so profound, Evan is still researching.

As for the other inscriptions on the locket, he did not make much progress.

However, seeing the words on the broken stone altar in front of him and the surrounding scene, Aven got a hint of inspiration, Salazar Slytherin's most famous trait is the Parseltongue, so these words that no one knows may have to be recognized in the Parseltongue, as long as they follow the grammar of ancient English......

He tried to read it, and his mouth hissed strangely, meaninglessly, but it sounded exactly the same as Harry had used the Parseltongue.

"That's right, that's it, I should have thought of it!" Aven clenched his fists, "These strange words left behind by Salazar Slytherin must have something to do with Parseltongue, and I've spent months searching for ancient magic that has been passed down from all over the world." ”

He hurriedly collected all the broken stones and put them in his pocket, preparing to restore them to their original state when he returned, so that Harry could see that he might be able to make a breakthrough and learn why Slytherin had left a ruin here.

And the old words on the locket, and Evan remembered the vampire girl named Elaine Slytherin, and the prophecy she mentioned......

Wait until he has collected all the stones and calmed down before moving on.

In the empty hall, the footsteps of Evan alone echoed in the darkness, and he walked forward for about five minutes in the direction pointed by the Slytherin statue's wand.

In front of him was a huge stone door, about which Evan had seen in his dreams, the decoration on it was exactly the same as the cracks, and he remembered that behind the door was the monster, the secret that had been hidden for nearly a thousand years, and the huge blood-red eyes......

Evan was vigilant, the stone door was not opened.

Carved on the door were two intertwined snakes with large, sparkling emeralds in their eyes.

They are very similar to the two snakes on the door of the castle's secret chamber, but the style of these two snakes is more earthy, like a basilisk after it has been shrunk.

If Harry were here, he could use the Parseltongue to order the two snakes to open the stone door.

Evan couldn't do that, but there should be another entrance, and he took the bottle containing Aragog out of the package.

"Aragog, I've come to the underground ruins, and I'm standing in front of a huge stone door that has been sealed, how do I get in from here?"

"Follow my boy, Hagrid's friend!" and as the voice commanded, we opened an entrance in the far wall. "Click-click," Aragog said weakly, "right there, we send our captured prey through that rift to ......" (to be continued.) )
