Although Salazar had set up a magic circle, the process of corrosion and damage to these storage items was extremely slow.

However, nearly a thousand years have passed, and the magic stones that keep the magic array running have lost their magical power, so it is naturally impossible to keep these exhibits in their original appearance!

If you have the mentality of treasure hunting, you will be disappointed when you see this place!

Alan believed that Salazar had gone to great lengths to build such a secret room not just to store these things.

He was patient and continued to explore.

At the innermost end of the hall, there are several spiral staircases that spiral upwards.

Interestingly, the staircase is divided into two parts: one part is like the winding slide pipe in a children's playground, and the other part is a normal staircase for human walking.

It is clear that the slide-like passage is intended for the basilisk.

Determined that there was nothing to linger in the hall on the first floor, Alan ascended the wide staircase and climbed the stairs.

Here, Alan desperately hopes to make some useful discoveries.

It was a much larger circular space, with a thick layer of dust on the tiled floor, and in the middle of the space stood the lower half of a strange, thin, large skeleton.

As can be seen from its deviated metacarpal bones, it is an extinct sloth-like animal.

Its skull and the bones of its upper body were buried in the thick dust beside it.

Something black, like a burnt cloth was scattered in one place, and Alan immediately recognized it as the remains of rotting books.

The books had long since been broken into pieces, and the mottled ink made it difficult to tell what was written on them.

Alan gently brushed away the scattered books, and when the dust fell to the ground, a polished slate table appeared in front of Alan.

It rests horizontally on the ground and has a number of well-preserved stone crates on it.

Just as Alan wanted to open the stone box, a majestic voice suddenly sounded: "It's been a thousand years, and someone has finally found here!"

Alan was startled, and his heart rose to his throat, who is it?

"I'm here, above your head!" the owner of the voice seemed to guess Alan's thoughts.

Alan turned around, and behind that huge skeleton, there was actually a painting suspended in mid-air!

In the midst of decay and decay, the painting has not only been preserved intact for thousands of years, but can even float in the air!

The painting shows a handsome man in the prime of life, and his facial features are very three-dimensional, like a knife and an axe.

His brow furrowed slightly, his expression resolute, and his expression majestic.

The color of the painting turned out to be a single dark green, which was completely different from the brightly colored oil paintings used by wizards.

"It's painted with the ink of the arrow stone. The man on the screen seemed to have guessed Allen's mind and explained directly.

Alan hurriedly checked his brain occlusion, and there was no flaw!

"I don't know how to take your minds, but your look says what you're thinking!"

It's simply the smartest painting Alan has ever seen!

However, by chance, Alan had seen its information.

This ancient creature became extinct and fossilized millions of years ago.

To have such a precious fossil, and to use a lot of ink from the arrows to paint, Slytherin's wealth is evident!

But the riches are Slytherin's, and there is nothing but desolation!

There was dust everywhere, a dilapidated scene everywhere.

"It's a pity that you came too late! There used to be a lot of precious literature and rare medicinal herbs here. Now, it's all waste!" said Slytherin.

Alan thought for a moment, and without hesitation, decided, "It's all about you, isn't it? Professor Salazar Slytherin!"

"Hah, you're very sensitive! I had to summon a lot of magical energy to keep this portrait intact, and it was all worth it. Salazar replied unceremoniously.

"I'm sure so," Alan thought to himself, "Salazar is definitely the most narcissistic of the four founders!"

In order to protect his portrait, he can make countless treasures fly to the ashes and annihilate!

"Let me remind you that it's hard for someone in a situation like mine to restrain yourself, and I don't even bother with the speculation in your mind. Salazar's voice showed a hint of disdain.

But Alan didn't care, after all, the other party could only be framed in the picture, and he couldn't go anywhere.

Salazar looked at Alan with razor-sharp eyes, as if he was studying them from head to toe.

"You're not a Slytherin?" Salazar was a little disappointed.

"But I'm a Hogwarts through and through!" Alan was neither humble nor arrogant.

"At the beginning, we parted ways completely because of some differences, and now it seems that we might as well give it a try. Time is running out after all!"

Salazar seemed to be caught up in the memories of the past, and said something that made Alan seem to understand.

Alan waited patiently, with an impeccable gentle smile on his face.

"The reason why I have to use all my magic to maintain the portrait is because I need some guidance for the young wizards who have the ability to find this place. ”

Salazar actually walked out of the portrait, although it was only a faint phantus!

"Are you sure a little wizard will walk in here alive?" Alan blurted out.

Salazar glanced at Alan, "Am I mistaken, you're a ghost?"

Alan was speechless.

"You open this stone box and you'll get the answer. Salazar walked over to the stone table and pointed to the stone box that Alan had just wanted to open but had not yet been able to open.

Alan didn't waste time and directly opened the stone box.

The stone box instantly erupted with brilliant divine light.

When Alan got used to the bright light, he was surprised to find that it was a green gem!

The shape of this gem is largely the same as that of Merlin's in Alan's hand.

It should be said that it is almost the same except for the color.

The Merlin gem in Alan's hand is blue, and this one, it's green!

The green glow it emitted was awe-inspiring, and needless to say, it was clear that this treasure was of great value.

But what does it have to do with Merlin's gemstones, and why is it so similar?

"Once upon a time, one of my descendants came to the Chamber of Secrets. However, through the basilisk, I know that he is not a pureblood! Although he can speak of a parseltongue, he does not meet my qualifications, so he can only open the outer chamber. ”

Salazar seemed pleased to see that Eren had kept his composure in front of the gem and explained with interest.

"I see in you everything the four of us want—smart, brave, honest, and ambitious! They should be happy with my choice. ”

"Of course, most importantly, you are a pureblood. Salazar immediately added.
