Chapter 112: Finding the Loot

After waiting for more than ten minutes, the absorption of the mutated dragon grass was finally over, and the basilisk turned into a pile of white bones. Ryan put on the dragonskin gloves and stepped forward to pick up a piece of white bone, only to find that the weight was significantly lighter than expected. After pinching it a little harder, the white bones quickly turned into a handful of ashes.

The absorption was also too clean, and after looking at the basilisk skeleton to make sure that there was nothing of value left, Ryan began to carefully check the condition of the mutant dragon grass.

From the outside, there was almost no change in the dragon grass, and at most the leaves were greener than before. But in the Psychic Connection, Dragongrass tells Ryan that he has undergone a radical change and that he will be born in a while.

Thinking of this, Ryan observed the dragon grass again. Only then did I find out that it was not the whole dragon grass that signed a pet contract with me, but the football-sized fruit on the dragon fruit.

It seems that I was too tired just now, and I didn't see it for a while. It seems that I am still inexperienced and not cautious enough, so I can't be like this in the future.

When the basement garbage was almost cleaned up, Ryan recalled all the robots and sent them back to Plants vs. Zombies, and sent the reluctant mutated dragon grass back to the grocery store. Then began to explore the chamber.

According to legend, Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets was first used by him to study some of the magic that the other Big Three opposed. If that's the case, then there may be something else of value left in this chamber.

After all, the size and beauty of this chamber would be a bit too wasteful to be used as a basilisk's lair.

As mentioned in Hogwarts: A History of the School, Slytherin kept the basilisk in the Chamber of Secrets in order to cleanse the school of Muggle-born wizards. Ryan is not a letter believer.

The reason is simple: on the one hand, in the battle just now, Ryan discovers that the basilisk is completely a beast with a little wisdom and instinctive action. And there are not many wizards in the wizarding world in Britain today who have really been pure-blood, and even include many families that claim to be pure-blood. Ryan doesn't trust the basilisk's IQ to be accurate.

On the other hand, the Basilisk's abilities are not likely to completely cleanse Hogwarts. If you sneak up on a sneak attack, you can close the school if you attack just a few students. And if you attack it, the only option is at the time of the student gathering, and the professors are often there at that time. The Headmaster and Professors of Hogwarts have always been powerhouses, and it is definitely not very difficult for them to join forces to take out a basilisk.

So what exactly is the basilisk doing? Ryan scrutinized every inch of the chamber with this question in mind, trying to find the answer.

After inspecting the interior of the chamber and finding no problems, Ryan set his sights on the Slytherin statue. After reciting the incantation to open the door, Ryan slipped through the open mouth of the Slytherin statue.

This cave is very dark and not short in length, and there is a feeling of fear when walking in it. However, the tunnel is large enough for an adult to walk upright in it.

After walking more than ten meters, Ryan saw a bright light ahead. After walking a few steps and turning a right-angled bend, he found himself in a stone room. Several transparent crystals are inlaid on the sides of the stone chamber, allowing the light from the bottom of the lake to shine through the crystals. In addition to this, there was a dim glow overhead.

With this light, Ryan carefully examined the stone chamber. The space was about the size of a classroom, and there was nothing in it except for a burning oil lamp overhead.

Ryan had just felt a little depressed, and suddenly a spirit came to his senses: oil lamps, how could there be oil lamps in such a confined space, and how could such a small oil lamp burn for so long.

After hooking the oil lamp off with a hook, Ryan discovered that it was a very simple bronze oil lamp, inlaid with silver Slytherin symbols.

On top of that, the bronze lamp contains a silver oil bowl with two serpentine letters representing Salazar Slytherin's initials carved in relief on the rim. There is a gold wick in the middle of the bowl. The lamp was burning on the wick, but there was no fuel in the oil bowl.

This should be the Gublai Immortal Fire, and legend has it that only the most powerful sorcerers can unleash this magic, so that the flame can burn forever across time.

Thinking of this, Ryan hung the oil lamp back in its original position (it looked like it was supposed to be a Hogwarts thing made by Slytherin himself, with the Slytherin House logo on it). This monumental thing belongs to the school property and it is not good to take it away. Not to mention that this thing can't improve people's abilities, and second, it can't be exchanged for money, so it doesn't make much sense to hold it). Then began to search the entire stone chamber inch by inch.

Because if there's anything hidden in the secret room, it should be hidden in this stone room. After all, if that's the case, the presence of a basilisk in the Chamber of Secrets would explain it: it's the monster that Slytherin found to guard the treasure.

After repeatedly searching for anything other than the oil lamp in the empty house, Ryan tried to pronounce the various requests in the snake language. When he pronounced the secret that revealed you in the language of the snake, the oil lamp suddenly increased in brightness several times, showing a large amount of text on the four walls, and projecting a living snake in the corner of the wall.

Is this a Slytherin legacy?Ryan didn't dare to slack off, immediately entered the world of Plants vs. Zombies, retrieved a film camera, and rushed back to the house.

During the photoshoot, Ryan discovered that the text was Latin. Luckily, he knew Latin numbers, so he photographed them all in order of the Latin numbers at the beginning of each paragraph.

After spending half an hour looking at two cycles and consuming several rolls of film. Ryan determined that there were 186 pages of these legacy. It's a pity that he basically doesn't know what is written on it, and it seems that he can only find a way after he goes out.

After making sure there was nothing missing, Ryan tried to say in snake language to the wall where a snake had just been projected, "Open." ”

A door made of stone appeared on the originally smooth stone wall with a delicate serpentine bronze doorknob.

Ryan grabbed the doorknob and pulled it hard, and the door opened easily, which made him almost fall because he didn't have a good balance. Even after millennia, everything in the Chamber of Secrets is functioning under the protection of Slytherin's magic, which is a very shocking discovery.

Behind the door was a spiraling staircase, and Ryan walked up the staircase for more than ten minutes before finally stopping at a wall.

After opening it again in snake language, the wall moved quickly to both sides, revealing a small door for only one person to enter. Looking through the door, Ryan could see the tapestries in the hallway outside the door and the torches burning on the walls. It seems that he has returned to the castle.
