Chapter 670: The Hufflepuff Chamber

"Click...... Click...... Click......"

The spiral staircase was longer than Nes had imagined, and as he continued to descend, the initial ease had faded into place, replaced by a slight vigilance that had crept up in his heart.

Although the casting of the wand glow spell was easy, it was exhausting to maintain the light, and his spirit was already tired, so the spell had to be canceled. Obviously, the efficacy of the elixir remaining in his body has also been exhausted.

Right now, there was endless darkness in front of him and behind him, only the stone steps under his feet were still continuing, level by step, as if there was no end.

Only the sound of footsteps still echoed in this secret passage that swirled downward.

Without the guidance of the elixir, Ens naturally has no ability to move freely in the dark. Fortunately, this stone step is quite easy to walk, as long as he touches the handrail and steps carefully, he is not afraid of falling.

As for the dust in the groove of the handrail, in the current situation, of course, there is no room for him to be suspicious.

"Click...... Click......"

The footsteps continued, proving that Ens was not intimidated by the current situation and that he was still moving on.

But think about it, in that ice cave that is also pitch black, he also moved forward alone. Now there was no torch to illuminate, but he had an extra wand, and although he was still mentally exhausted, at least one or two ordinary spells could still be cast...... Probably.

I don't know how long I walked in this completely invisible darkness, and when Resolute Anns couldn't help but feel a little anxious in his heart, a sudden light suddenly illuminated his vision.

The light did not look dazzling when it came into view, but it was extremely soft, and even though Ens had been walking in the dark for too long, he did not feel much discomfort.

And when this light instantly poured into Enns's pupils, an arched doorway also came into his eyes, and it was from this doorway that the light shone through.

Because the light came so suddenly, it was only at this moment that he came back to his senses a little—it turned out that he had finally arrived at his destination.

Although the effect of the elixir had long since passed, Earns did not hesitate at the door for long, he only paused slightly, and then took another step and walked straight towards the doorway.

Since that wonderful premonition led him into the secret passage behind him, this doorway, which is the only exit from the secret passage, is naturally where the premonition points to. If he had finally come down here, why did he hesitate?

As soon as he stepped through the doorway, Ens immediately looked around the space inside the door and took a good look at it.

In fact, it's a stone-brick chamber that doesn't occupy much space, or at least looks unremarkable. Aside from a slightly low ceiling, nothing else seems to be special.

On the left and right sides of the chamber, two bookshelves were placed side by side, with bundles of parchment rolls piled on them. There were quite a lot of parchment rolls, not to mention that the shelves were so full that even the top was piled up.

At the innermost end of the chamber, there is a long table with all kinds of cups and dishes on it. Even if you look at it from afar, you can immediately see that most of the cutlery is exquisite.

As for the central part of the chamber, the largest part of the chamber is occupied by a thick and calm wooden carved round table. There are also several chairs around this table, and the backs of the chairs are delicately carved with small animals that are very cute and cute.

On the wall opposite where Ens stood, a large Hufflepuff House emblem was fastened there, with small badger pennants with earthy yellow tassels hanging from either side.

You can see that everything here is so unpretentious, as if it were an ordinary room...... Or rather, a kitchenette.

If there was anything to be noted here, apart from the old parchment rolls that had been bundled up, the only thing was the parchment that had been casually pressed against the round table by a tall wooden cup.

Oh no, and it's worth mentioning that Ens found that there didn't seem to be a speck of dust in this secret room. Although everything here has an old feel, all the corners of the place are so clean, without any stains or dust.

Even, because Ens had been walking in the spiral passage for a long time before, the dust under his feet had left extremely conspicuous footprints on the ground.

Probably because it was so spotless that Ens felt a little glaring when he looked at his footprints, and wanted to lean down and wipe them all away.

However, he never forgot that tonight's trip to the Chamber of Secrets had consumed a lot of time. If he wants to go back to sleep for a while, he'll have to hurry.

Putting aside the awkwardness in his mind for a moment, Ens turned his gaze back to the front and quickly walked to the round table in front of him. He thought it would be right to look at the parchment on the table that was pressed under the cup.

It's a pity......

“…… What is this word? He muttered in a puzzled expression, "I think I've seen similar ones a few times when I was flipping through books in the library, but ......"

It doesn't matter what it is, since you can't understand it, let's put it away first! Anyway, I found it myself, so it was naturally my own—Ens thought as a matter of course.

So, he shook his head indifferently, and then rolled the parchment in his hand and stuffed it into the largest pocket of his robe.

With this first gain, Ens did not pause, and walked straight to the bookshelf on the right wall. When he walked around the round table, he found that there were several round barrels on the floor next to the bookshelf, and the barrels were also stuffed with large piles of parchment rolls, which were simply outrageous.

When he saw it, he naturally unceremoniously pulled some out casually. This time he didn't even look at it, but put it in his pocket as much as he could, until he couldn't fit it anymore before he stopped.

"Anyway, let's take it back and study it......"

Ens patted both of his pockets contentedly, a flirtatious smile on his face. But he quickly put away his smile, and turned around to rummage elsewhere to see if there was anything more valuable for him to take with him.

Although this secret room and secret passage could not run, the spiral passage outside was too long, and he didn't want to go down too often.

But when Ens took a few steps around the round table again, he didn't know what he saw, and suddenly his whole body froze.

“……”

His throat twitched slightly, but he didn't make a sound. His eyes were fixed on the ground in front of him, as if there was something there that he had to look at, and he couldn't take his eyes off it for a moment.

There, there was a white and dry skeleton, with a skull rolling off one end of the pile. And around the pile of white dry bones was a set of quaint brown robes that were still brightly colored.

"What kind of ...... is this" In shock, Ens subconsciously glanced at the emblem on the wall, "Could it be the founder of Hufflepuff House...... Well, even if it wasn't, it should be a senior wizard related to Hufflepuff House. ”

Respect should always be maintained for the dead, and although Ens often has all kinds of selfishness, there is still some minimum morality.

Therefore, he first bowed slightly to the corpse, and after expressing his respect, he cautiously ...... Uh, pulled the strange wooden staff the length of an arm from under a piece of arm bone.

The wooden staff is very finely carved, and the lines on it are sinuous and twisted, as if there is some kind of pattern. And between those stripes, there are occasionally one or two small symbols connected, which adds a bit of mystery to it.

Ens took it in his hand and flipped it, then waved it lightly twice, but nothing changed. He pondered for a moment, and after finding that he couldn't fathom it for the time being, he decisively thrust it into his waist again.

"Is this also a wand?"

As he thought, he walked around the chamber a few more times, opening all the cabinet doors that could be opened one by one, and examining them carefully. But in the end, he realized that this place was really a kitchen—all the kitchen cupboards and cabinets were occupied by cutlery and kitchen utensils, and nothing else was found.

Finally, Ens looked left and right at the chamber again, nodded secretly, turned and walked out of the doorway.

Not long after he stepped out of the door, the light behind him suddenly faded, and everything returned to the endless darkness.

……

Ens's trip to the Chamber of Secrets was not known to anyone.

That night, exhausted, he returned to his bedroom in the dark, and fell asleep as soon as he had put away the parchment roll and the wooden staff. The next day, Ence, who had not slept enough, was woken up by his roommate, who reminded him that it was time to go to the auditorium for breakfast.

It was at breakfast that Professor McGonagall criticized a student on the spot. Needless to say, it was the Slytherin student who was smashed with a tapestry by Ens last night.

Only now did Ens know that the senior's name was Draco Malfoy, and he was said to be a repeater.

Because of the striking gaze he had been exposed to at the time, Ens paid extra attention and kept the name firmly in his heart.

He wasn't sure if the other party had seen his appearance clearly, but the moment the two met their eyes, he should have not run away.

“…… Draco Malfoy. ”

Ens scooped up a spoonful of jelly and poured it into his mouth, muttering indistinctly.
