Chapter 221: The Chamber of Secrets and the Snake Language
It's a pity that the whole jar is only so big, and it didn't take long for it to be filled with black mist.
The spider in the jar had nowhere to escape, and was soon eroded by the black mist, and by the time everything was back to its original state, all that was left of the jar was an empty shell that had been boiled dry...
Ivan watched all this quietly, his left hand gently turning the ring that could release the fire, and his right hand was already clenched with his wand, ready to deal with possible accidents.
According to his assumptions, the life force of a spider would not restore much power to Tom, and Tom, who had absorbed Ginny's life force in the original plane, could not even release magic.
That's why Ivan dared to take this risk, and he made some preparations just in case.
After sucking a spider into an empty shell, more black mist emerges from the diary again, and Tom Riddle reappears in the illusory space.
"Tom, are you okay?" Ivan looked at Tom in front of him in his Slytherin robes, and felt that he seemed to be a little more condensed than before.
"Thank you for your trust, Hals, I've recovered a little bit of my previous consumption so I can see you again... Although it can only last for about an hour. Tom Riddle had a smile on his face, and after a pause, he spoke again.
"How? Did you get that book? The magic I left behind didn't hinder you, did it? ”
"A confusion spell and an unknown magic that hides something, right? It did take me a little bit of time. Ivan said resentfully.
He couldn't help but think of how he had been looking for "Bloodline Origin" under the guidance of the system last school, and if it hadn't been for the luck of stumbling over a dark magic book and coincidentally cracking the confusion spell left by Tom, God knows how long he would have been looking for it.
"You're moving faster than I thought it would take you at least two or three days to crack the magic I've set." Tom was amazed that the confusion spell had been carefully laid by him, and it was very cleverly set up.
Even if ordinary people stand there with wide eyes and look carefully, they won't find anything wrong, and Tom even thought that Ivan couldn't crack it and came back for help.
Unexpectedly, Ivan cracked it in less than a day, which made Tom more and more jealous of the little wizard in front of him.
"I've read that book, and the most crucial part of it was torn off, and it looks like a boring history book." Ivan shook his head regretfully.
"As I said before, it should be your Headmaster, Dumbledore." The corners of Tom's mouth curled slightly, and he continued to speak comfortingly.
"But you don't need to worry, when I was in school, it took me a long time to find a way to complete most of the content and put this part of the information in a secret room! It just needs snake language to turn it on..."
Do you have such a good heart?
Ivan rolled his eyes, he didn't believe Tom would be kind.
It's almost the same as trying to lure him to the secret room and then trap himself to death.
He knew that there was only one basilisk in that secret room, and if he rushed into it with a Horcrux, it would not end well.
Just as Ivan was thinking this, he noticed that the progress of the Bloodline Mystery mission instantly increased to thirty percent when Tom Riddle said the secret room.
Ivan was stunned, which means that there is likely to be a method of fusing multiple bloodlines in the secret room, and no matter how bad it is, there are corresponding clues.
"What's wrong? Hals? Tom Riddle said confusedly.
"Nothing? It's just a little strange why Hogwarts has a secret room that requires snake language to open, did you make it out of purpose, Tom? Ivan changed the subject.
"Of course not, I don't have the ability to open a secret room in Hogwarts!" Tom shook his head and explained.
"That's Salazar Slytherin, a place specially built for experimentation and research on bloodline fusion."
Ivan subconsciously thought that Tom was fooling him, but immediately realized that it was a possibility.
If the book "Bloodline Origins" was really written by Salazar Slytherin, it means that Slytherin knows this very well and may have been engaged in research in this area.
It's normal to set up a special place to conduct research, and the basilisk placed in the secret room may be either a creature guarding the place or an object of study.
There are countless rare magical creatures in the Forbidden Forest, could it be that the reason why they are kept here is also for the convenience of research?
All sorts of conjectures passed through Ivan's mind... If he remembered correctly, the symbol of Slytherin House was the snake.
And Voldemort, as a descendant of Salazar Slytherin, was born to speak snake language. Could it be that such an obvious inheritance trait is because Salazar Slytherin once fused the blood of the basilisk and passed on this power.
While Ivan was thinking, he heard Tom Riddle continue.
"Anyway, I've put everything in the secret room, it's absolutely safe there, even Dumbledore can't find it, just use the snake language to open it!"
"Then you've told me so much, you're going to teach me snake language, right? Tom, we're best friends! Ivan said expectantly.
"Of course I'd like to teach you, but not everyone can master snake language," Tom Riddle replied arrogantly.
Tom Riddle was about to say that taking him in would solve the problem, but Ivan interrupted him first.
"Is it really that hard to speak snakes? Maybe I can learn it, or maybe I can... There are a lot of advanced magic that I can master in just a few moments. ”
"Snake language is different." Tom Riddle frowned, looking at Ivan's determined appearance, he understood that Ivan would not give up if he didn't try, so he had to be patient and teach it a few times.
Hiss~
At the same time as Tom said the snake language, Ivan decisively entered the learning acceleration mode of the experience card, and vaguely could detect that the snake language seemed to contain magic power, vibrating at a strange frequency, affecting the entire black fog space.
Ivan had a clue, and also understood the reason why snake language is difficult to learn, and tried to recall everything he had perceived just now, trying to imitate it, and the prompt sound of the system in his mind also sounded...
"How? Need me to teach it again? Tom Riddle said impatiently, he didn't want to waste time on this kind of thing.
But soon Tom Riddle's complexion changed.
Because the strange snake language sounded again in the black fog space... Although it's still a little rusty, Tom Riddle is pretty sure it's snake language...
