Well, I confess, this update is indeed a long time late......

But there is no way, although it is the end of the world, but the year-end summary, year-end report, or anything have to be dealt with one by one, which is really busy

Lack of skills......

But fortunately, the fourth volume will be over soon, and I'll try to finish this volume before the New Year

As for the other new articles and the previous ones...... Can I pretend that I don't know anything? Hold your head and slip at the speed of light......

====================================================

Gold Coin 5 (Reverse): A chaotic scene.

、

Hogwarts Slytherin Vault

、！！！

The feeling of falling from high school made Opal's consciousness completely awaken from the chaos.

When he opened his eyes, Opal found that he had been moved to the corner of the room, leaning against Ginny and Pansy, who were still unconscious. Brace was standing by their side, and his eyes lit up when he saw her wake up, but he almost immediately put his finger in front of his mouth to signal her to be silent.

After raising an eyebrow to indicate that he knew, Opal endured the feeling that his consciousness and body were completely incompatible, and it took him almost thirty seconds to sit up, and he frowned randomly because of the scene he saw, and he understood why Brace was using his movements to make a comparison.

At the front of the room, near the statue, Draco and Harry were holding their wands in their hands, facing off against another person, one left and one right.

Tom, who was glowing with a pearly white luster and looked like he was gradually solidifying, raised his hand to caress the chin of the basilisk that was hanging his head at his side, and although the basilisk had its eyes closed, it was stretching and shrinking and hissing snake letters, and its huge body was slowly swimming, as if it could attack at any time.

Draco and Harry knew that they were no match for the man and snake in front of them, and although they were holding their wands, they were only in a defensive position, and they were talking to Tom word by word, obviously stalling for time.

Not wanting to draw the mind out there, Opal slowly scratched the ground with his fingers: "How long?" ”

Brace compared "one" and "zero" with his hand, which means ten minutes. After a moment, Blaise seemed to think of something, and slowly gestured to the ground with his hand, "You and Pansy fell at the same time, and then that 'Tom' appeared." Unfortunately we can't attack him, and he doesn't seem to be able to attack us. ”

This answer caused Opal to draw a black line in the back of his head in an instant - no wonder that Tom would be willing to talk nonsense with Draco and Harry, but isn't there still that basilisk to use?

Could it be that this Tom hasn't communicated with many people for too long, so some "people are crazy"? Shouldn't it be common sense that the sooner the variables can be resolved, the better? (Celestial: If his IQ hadn't been lowered by Harry's "protagonist aura", would you think you would still be alive today, Opal?) ）

However, Opal also knew that now was not the time to think about these things, so he closed his eyes and mobilized the magic in his body, and after confirming that his condition was completely OK, Opal stood up against the wall.

Because of the "oath" that she still doesn't know what it is, she can't directly attack Tom in the secret room right now, but that doesn't mean she can't do anything about it.

Because the content of that oath can be understood as long as you don't shoot "Tom Riddle" head-on.

Otherwise, there is no way to explain that he did not receive any backlash punishment when he used the half-finished Philosopher's Stone to absorb the spirit that should also be considered "Tom Riddle" last year.

At the moment, the spirit of "Tom Riddle" is obviously based on that diary, and because the black magic on it has not yet fully taken effect, coupled with the small tricks she has done before, she doesn't need to take a frontal action to solve it.

The only trouble is that basilisk.

Despite being the "Son of Gaia", it was clear that protecting the "Slytherin Descendants" was the first order for the basilisk, and it was even more important than obeying the "Children of Gaia". I don't know how the basilisk was cultivated in the first place - although she was willing to believe that Riddle was the work of Riddle at that time, but ...... At the moment, the age of this basilisk is obviously over a thousand years old, and it is impossible to have anything to do with Riddle.

The best solution right now is for Draco, Harry, and Blaise to deal with Tom and her to deal with the basilisk, but the biggest problem right now is how to separate the two.

While Opal was pondering a solution, Tom seemed to lose interest in continuing the conversation: "I see. Your mother died trying to save you...... Yes, that's a very effective magic that keeps you out of danger. I understand now - at the end of the day, there's nothing special about you. ”

"So what?"

Harry was obviously angry at Tom's statement, but it was clear that Tom didn't intend to listen to him any longer, just waved his hand and continued, "You know what? It turned out that I didn't know this, I was just curious about it. Because there are some peculiar similarities between us, Harry Potter. You've probably noticed that we're all half-bloods, orphans, and raised by Muggles. Perhaps only two people since the great Slytherin who have entered Hogwarts who can speak serpent language. I don't know if you noticed it - we look a little similar......"

"I don't want to interrupt, but I really don't think there's anything similar between the two of you."

This time it was Draco who interjected, apparently aware of Tom's thoughts, and was consciously delaying time, "You are a descendant of the great Lord Salazar, there is no doubt about excellence. And this guy ...... I really don't see anything commendable about this stupid Gryffindor. ”

"Draco, you ......"

Although he knew that the main goal at the moment was to stall for time, hearing that he had been degraded to such an extent made Harry glared at Draco angrily - of course, it was completely insignificant to Draco.

"Haha, that's natural ......"

Apparently flattered by Draco, Tom's face showed a hint of smugness, "I'm just curious about how he managed to dodge the attacks that came from him, and now I understand it completely." But in the end, it was only by the self-sacrifice of his stupid mother, by luck, that he escaped from my hands. That's all. ”

"That's Voldemort, it's not you!"

Clearly, Tom's contempt and disdain for Harry's mother angered Harry. He clenched his wand and glared at Tom, and said loudly, "After all, you are just a piece of consciousness sealed in Voldemort's diary, not a deity at all. What are you crazy about here! ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone who was still awake at the scene, except for Harry and Tom, gasped.

Blaise and Opal in the corner rolled their eyes in unison as they were stunned, and Draco, who was standing next to Harry, moved two steps away without a trace, sweating with white hair.

They know the truth, but is this something that can be said now?

Too honest a child is a must!

"Haha...... Good, good! ”

Even though it wasn't fully formed, it could still be seen that Tom's face was very ugly, and the hand he had been stroking the basilisk's chin completely stopped, and it looked very angry and laughed, "In that case, Harry...... I'm going to teach you a little lesson. Didn't you say that I am not a deity? So let me do something that the failed guy can't! ”

Oops......

The other people present were screaming at the same time, and at this time, faint music wafted from nowhere.

Tom - even Harry, Draco, Opal and Blaise began to turn their heads and look into the empty chamber for the source of the sound.

The music is becoming clearer and clearer, the sound is ethereal, ethereal and mysterious, even if only vaguely audible fragments are highly focused and clear—the music is getting higher and higher, making the listener feel that his heart resonates with the tune of the music. At the same time, it is also very clear that the source of this sound is getting closer and closer.

Then, from the invisible dome of the chamber erupted orange-yellow flames, and a crimson bird emerged from the flames with a slender and graceful figure, and the wings and feathers of a crane, and the long tail feathers like a peacock were flowing with five-colored light, which was even more dazzling than the light of the flames. And when it craned its neck, what came out of its beak was the melodious music that it had just heard. After hovering around the dome for a week, it seemed to spot its target and swooped down directly into the ground, where it could be seen clutching a mass of cloth that appeared to be tattered on a pair of golden claws.

It's a good match......

After recognizing that it was the Phoenix Fawkes he had seen in Headmaster Dumbledore's room, Opal could be said to be relieved in his heart - since Fawkes had already appeared, it meant that Dumbledore already knew about it.

Although I don't know why Dumbledore just let Fawkes come first, presumably the follow-up rescue should also be prepared, as long as it can survive this time, it should be enough.

In a second or so, Fawkes had stopped on Harry's shoulder and looked at Tom, but its golden claws were still clutching what looked like a rag of cloth.

"It's you phoenix!"

Apparently annoyed by his previous surprise, Tom looked at Fawkes viciously, and then noticed what it was grasping on its claws, "...... And the Sorting Hat?! ”

Immediately after, he seemed to think of something funny, and laughed out loud again, "Haha...... It's funny, is this what Dumbledore gave his protector?! A singing phoenix and a broken hat?! Harry Potter, do you think it's safe now? Or do you think that such support will give you the guts to defeat me?! ”

"Fox?!"

Harry froze for a moment, then looked sideways at the phoenix perched on his shoulder, and the phoenix's golden eyes winked at him, then dropped the Sorting Hat into his hand and flew to Opal in the corner.

At this moment, the attention of everyone present also shifted.

"Opal?! It's great that you're okay! ”

It was Harry who was glad to be clutching the Sorting Hat, and Draco, who was next to him, twitched the corners of his mouth - it wasn't the first time he had recognized it, but he was really maladjusted to the big nerves of the Gryffindor lion and wanted to flip the table.

It's an abominable time to care about such things!

[Your Highness, are you alright?] ]

The sound of an organ sounded melodiously, and Opal, who had already stood up against the wall, could only raise his arm helplessly and let Fawkes land on it, [Does Dumbledore have other orders?] ]

[It's up to the Gryffindor imp to get Godric Gryffindor's approval.] If it doesn't work, you still need to trouble dealing with it. ]

Fox's obviously smiling voice made Opal immediately roll his eyes that damaged his image: [Why do you want me to clean up the aftermath again?] ]

[Hehe, have a little faith in that Gryffindor imp, and trust that the Sorting Hat can't be mistaken.] ]

[Provided it is not biased...... Speaking of which, if the Sorting Hat has a Gryffindor inheritance test, then Draco or I should be able to get the test from it, right? ]

[The Sorting Hat only had the Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, and Hufflepuff tests, and after Salazar and the other three had a big fight, the eligibility test was removed from the Sorting Hat, and only Merlin knew how he would use another test.] ]

Is...... There are too many slots to spit out......

After rubbing his temples, Opal's gaze turned from Fawkes's body to some other people in the secret room who didn't seem to react yet, and finally couldn't help but hang a row of black lines behind his head - although the conversation between her and Fawkes only lasted about half a minute, but the people in the secret room, including Tom, didn't react at all......

Could it be that this is what Pansy once complained about, about the "retarded" effect attached to Harry's "protagonist aura"? (Tianyin: The slots in this sentence are also not ordinary...... Speaking of which, Xiao Ao, as the protagonist, you are actually the protagonist, and you have no qualifications to say that others are coming. ）

"That's enough."

Probably hearing Opal's inner complaint, Tom's face distorted, and finally he couldn't help but raise his hand and pointed in the direction of Harry and Opal, "Give your lives to celebrate my resurrection." ”

Immediately afterward, a hissing sound came out of his mouth: {Attack!} }

[Then please blind its eyes, so hello, I'm good, everyone.] In the meantime, bring me the sorting hat, thank you! ]

Almost as soon as the basilisk obeyed Tom's order and opened his eyes, he pulled Brace on the side to turn around and ran towards the exit of the secret room to the corridor, and Opal raised his hand at the same time to make Fawkes fly again, [Harry, you and Draco destroy that journal for me!] I've already told Draco the method. ]

After notifying Harry and Draco, who were also scurrying around with their eyes closed, Opal didn't look back, pushed Brace to the other side, judged the position of the basilisk by his voice, and directly shook his hand "Diffindo" (split) and silently sent out.

"......" X2

Harry and Draco, who didn't expect Opal to arrange it like this, subconsciously opened their eyes, only to find that the basilisk had chased after Opal at its extremely fast speed, and exclaimed at the same time, "Opal be careful! ”X2

[Leave me alone!] I'll deal with this basilisk, you guys get rid of that journal!" Beware of the Sorting Hat! ]

After inflicting a "Wingardium.Leviosa" on himself, Opal stepped on the wall to dodge a head cone from the basilisk, leading it to the previous sewer swarm.

Now she is extremely glad that she didn't laze Philnet's training at all, otherwise she would definitely die an ugly death now......

So, if Dumbledore insisted on not letting Slytherin win the House Cup this time, she would absolutely and absolutely rebel!
