Chapter 240: The Chamber of Secrets (Part II)
The corners of Lin Yi's mouth twitched, and then his gaze moved down, looking at the huge pipe mouth on the ground.
"Is it so conspicuous...... I'm going to look for a while! ”
Lin Yi shook his head, and immediately put away the sword qi running around his eyes, and walked towards the mouth of the pipe.
But just as he was taking a step, an old but gentle voice came from behind him.
"Lin, what are you doing?"
Lin Yi paused, turned his head, and looked at Dumbledore, who seemed to be smiling.
"Oh, it's you!" Lin Yi suddenly smiled and said, "That's the case, those children just now accidentally fell from here, I'm not worried about their safety, so I want to go down and have a look~"
Dumbledore chuckled and shook his head, while the back looked at Lin Yi seriously.
"Believe me, Lin, they'll make it."
Seeing that Dumbledore was serious, Lin Yi no longer cared about him.
“…… That's a basilisk. He frowned slightly, his eyes staring at Dumbledore, "How can you guarantee it?" First of all, Danas must not die! ”
Dumbledore smiled slightly, and a golden-red phoenix chirped and flew into the bathroom.
Different from the chick he saw in the principal's office before, the current little phoenix Fawkes was the size of an eagle, and the red feathers on his body were like burning flames, like the slender and luxurious tail feathers of the peacock's office flashing with dazzling golden light, and between the fluttering wings, there were golden points of light permeating behind it.
After flying into the room, the little phoenix Fox let out a long roar, its voice was like a clear and distant long Xiao, melodious and melodious...... Fawkes then flapped his wings and circled and landed on Dumbledore's shoulder.
"Fox is almost recovered......"
Dumbledore reached out and patted Fawkes on the head, smiling.
"It is an auspicious man with the power of Nirvana, an immortal divine bird, and a natural nemesis of the basilisk."
"So I'm going to let it help the kids poke the blind basilisk's eyes, and there's no lethal gaze, and the basilisk is just a slightly larger creature with a hint of demonic resistance, so ...... Are you reassured? ”
"Not ...... enough"
Lin Yi shook his head without hesitation.
"I'll have to go down and watch it myself."
"......" Dumbledore stared at Lin Yi for a moment, then sighed helplessly, "Well, no wonder you have a crush on Danas, in some ways, you two really seem to be carved out of the same mold." ”
Lin Yi was noncommittal.
Dumbledore could only nod.
"Okay, let's go down and have a look, how about we?"
"It couldn't be better!"
Lin Yi had a smile on his face, and immediately stretched out his hand.
"You please first~"
Dumbledore chuckled and shook his head past Lin Yi.
When passing by Lin Yi, the little phoenix Fox standing on his shoulder raised his neck high, and glanced at Lin Yi with a proud and luxurious expression, as if to show him his nobility and beauty.
Lin Yi didn't care at all, he glanced at it with a smile, his gaze slid from its head all the way to its tail feathers very naturally, and then looked at it with admiration on his face.
Feeling Lin Yi's admiring gaze, Fawkes's body trembled, his cocked tail feathers were suddenly lowered, and his raised head also lowered and landed on Dumbledore's head.
…… That's it?
Lin Yi looked at it with disdain.
"Chirp~"
Fawkes whispered at him, then arched his head at Dumbledore.
Dumbledore hurriedly comforted Fawkes, and then looked at Lin Yi helplessly.
At the same time, there was a trace of confusion in his heart.
Having been with this magical phoenix for nearly a hundred years, no one knew Fawkes' inner pride better than Dumbledore, and Fawkes disdained no strange human except himself and the humans loyal to him.
Until it met Lin Yi.
Dumbledore was puzzled by this, but he could only blame it on Lin Yi's power that was too strong to be reckoned with.
"Shrink down!"
Dumbledore waved his wand, and a bright white light enveloped his whole body, and the whole person quickly shrank in the white light, and Fawkes, who had originally stopped on his shoulder, also screamed, and flapped his wings and flew into the air.
In just a few seconds, Dumbledore had become much smaller than Fawkes.
Fawkes chirped, flew under the miniature version of Dumbledore, let him step on the golden-red feathers on his back, and then flapped his wings twice, and flew him in front of Lin Yi with a surprised face.
"Lin, your size is too big, with my attainments in the shrinking spell, I'm afraid I won't be able to shrink you, so ...... I can only wronged you to drill the pipeline yourself~"
An apologetic smile appeared on Dumbledore's face, and with his hands behind his back, he gently called Fawkes, allowing Fawkes to fly towards the dark pipe mouth with him.
Looking at the trail of golden points of light left behind by the tail feathers, the corners of Lin Yi's mouth couldn't help twitching.
Deliberately, right? This must be intentional, right?
Lin Yi took two deep breaths and suppressed the urge in his mind to summon the Nine Dragons Sword
This is the bathroom on the fourth floor after all, if you want to rely on the flying sword all the way down, you will have to destroy at least half of the Hogwarts castle, and then you will have to pay a sum of money, how much is it worthless, so forget it......
He walked to the mouth of the pitch-black pipe, and after thinking about it for a while, he could only cover his whole body with a silver-white sword qi, and jumped straight down from the pipe with a black face.
……
……
There was dead silence in the dark tunnel, except for the four Danas walking quietly with their wands raised.
"Remember, even with my goggles, don't try to make eye contact with the basilisk."
Danas whispered as he walked quietly.
Under their feet, there was dirty mud and the bones of various animals, and as they walked through this eerie tunnel, Harry and the three could only nod desperately while covering the beak of the rooster with their hands.
Finally, after going through a dark bend, the four saw a pitch-black silhouette coiled around the ground.
"That'...... What is that? ”
Ron swallowed, and both Harry and Hermione tensed, ready to let go of their grip on the rooster's beak.
Danas thought he would be better than them, but his pounding heart and highly tense nerves told him that you were far from it!
Danas took a deep breath, barely trying to compose himself.
"Don't worry, it's just a snakeskin."
Harry and the others were slightly stunned, and then breathed a sigh of relief visibly to the naked eye.
Harry and Ron held the rooster in their arms, clenched their wands and walked past Danas, directing the light from the end of the wand to the huge silhouette swirling on the ground.
It's snakeskin!
Harry and Ron breathed a sigh of relief, and Ron couldn't help but say again.
"Seriously, why didn't that broken hat get you to Gryffindor?"
“…… Maybe my thirst for knowledge is stronger. ”
Danas barely smiled, but his heart was full of self-deprecation.
Ron felt that he had courage because he had known that it was just snakeskin.
In fact, even if he knew the plot in advance, there was still a sense of tension in his legs.
And the three Harry in front of him, who didn't know anything about this underground chamber, still had a calm demeanor similar to him...... I have to say, this is the real big heart.
Danas had mixed feelings, and he felt that he might need to change his mind about the three of them.
As his mind moved, Harry and Ron retreated to his side.
"Danas, where are we going next?"
Harry asked in a low voice.
Danas was slightly stunned when he heard this, raised his head and glanced at Harry and Ron, and then at Hermione, who was also looking at him, and suddenly realized that all his actions from the bathroom to the present had left a deep shadow in their hearts.
But unfortunately, the person you are counting on at this moment is actually not much better than you!
Danas laughed at himself in his heart, then took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.
"Keep going."
