Chapter 304: Entering the Secret Room

"Alright, Rozier." Riddle said coldly. "You don't need to point fingers at me with the posture of your predecessors, I don't need anyone's guidance!"

"I'm sorry, but I'm only concerned about my own career in the wizarding world, and I don't pay much attention to you." Shivin wasn't annoyed by Riddle, just said apologetically. "Riddle, I should have guided your character so that you wouldn't have gotten to where you are."

"Enough! I said I don't need your preaching! And my name is Voldemort, don't call me any Tom Riddle. Riddle angrily drew his wand and pointed it at Xiwen, shouting. Let me see what kind of strength you have to compete with Grindelwald, Rozier! ”

"I don't understand why the core of the unicorn's tail has so much power. I don't understand what qualifies a wizard who has never used dark magic to be a Slytherin! ”

Sivin stared at Riddle's bone-pale wand and calmly asked, "Why do you look down on unicorn tails?" Like you look down on other Muggles or half-blood wizards? ”

"Because I'm the wizard of all kinds, the best heir to Salazar Slytherin!" Riddle said conceitedly.

"So your wand is ......?" Xiwen asked.

"Thirteen and a half inches, yew, phoenix feather cane core." Riddle softly raised his wand, softly stroking its knob-like grip and whispering. "Compared to the ordinary unicorn tail hair, the phoenix feather is one of the rarest rod cores."

"The wands of the Phoenix Feather Wand Core are capable of casting the greatest variety of magic, and these wands are always the most selective when it comes to choosing their masters, as the Phoenix itself is one of the most independent and transcendent creatures in the world. These wands are also one of the most difficult to tame, and it is difficult for wizards to gain loyalty from them. ”

Riddle said in a somewhat ostentatious tone, glancing at Shivin coldly.

"Looks like you've completely tamed the wand with the core of this phoenix feather wand, right?" Xiwen said with a smile.

"Of course." Riddle raised his head and said haughtily. "Of course my wand is much better than the wand of your unicorn tail wand core."

"I'm curious, who told you that my wand was a unicorn tail wand core?" Xiwen said with a smirk.

Riddle frowned and spoke, "In the five years I've been at Hogwarts, I've never seen you use the dark arts once, doesn't that tell the story?" ”

"If you want me to say, you should use a few more dark magic to nullify the wand you have now." He continued. "You don't look like a guy who lacks a few dozen Galleons for a second wand, Rozier. Even a wand with a dragon's heartstring is better than a unicorn tail with little power. ”

Shivin shook his head at Riddle with a smirk, and took his wand out of his sleeve, gently rubbing the pattern of straight pine on it.

"First of all, I'll correct you that the unicorn's tail wand isn't as bad as you might think. Besides, the core of my wand isn't a unicorn tail either," he whispered, showing it to Riddle. "Fourteen inches, pine, unicorn horn nerve rod core."

"It's not that I don't use black magic because of it, but because the knowledge of magic is so vast that it's hard for us to spend our entire lives reading it, and black magic isn't necessary."

"I Have a Catalogue of Ghosts and Gods"

Then he added in his heart, 'What's more, I've also learned a lot of illegal dark spells in Kama Taj, and each of them is no weaker than the dark magic of this world. ’

"Unicorn horn nerves?" Riddle pursed his lips, as if he was a little jealous that Shiwen had found such a unique wand, but he said stiffly. "At the end of the day, it's the unicorn's body, and I don't think it's any better than the unicorn's tail hair."

Then, as if he had finally made up his mind, he spat out a scalp-tingling "hiss" sound.

The basilisk, which had been quiet, suddenly moved when he heard Riddle's command in a parseltongue and attacked in the direction of Xiwen.

"Riddle, I thought we'd have a duel." Xiwen sighed and said softly. "I didn't expect the beginning of the battle to be such a scene where magical beasts were arranged to attack first."

"In that case, aren't you proud of your wand core?"

Shewin stretched out an arm into the air at the side of his body, and then with a melodious chirp, a golden-red flame appeared above Shevan's arm.

A large bird with golden and red feathers landed on Xiwen's arm, gently combing his feathers, it was none other than Phoenix Fawkes.

And when Riddle saw this phoenix, he suddenly felt a strange movement in his wand rising.

"What did you do to my wand?!" He snapped.

"I didn't do anything." Shivin casually spread his hands and said to Riddle. "It's just that the owner of your wand core has come."

As Riddle's eyes widened in shock, the basilisk's foul-smelling mouth had already reached Xiwen's body, and the smell of the fish in it was so strong that it seemed to stun a person.

At this moment, Phoenix Fawkes, who was standing on Xiwen's arm, suddenly flapped his wings and flew head-on towards the huge basilisk.

The basilisk was immensely large, and Fawkes's body was like a miniature sparrow.

However, the "sparrow" avoided the basilisk's big mouth and eyes at the first time, and landed directly on its head, and pecked the basilisk twice on the head, which immediately turned the terrible giant snake into a blind snake.

After no worries, Xiwen immediately raised his head and looked at Riddle's black pupils.

"When the basilisk and the phoenix are fighting, aren't we looking for a quiet place to fight as well?" He asked.

Riddle squeezed two words out of his throat: "I'm fine." ”

He then turned in the opposite direction to face Xiwen, and jumped down the water pipe under the faucet.

Xiwen followed, and jumping down the pipe felt like a dash down a dark, slimy, endless slide. You can also see that there are many pipes that branch out in all directions, but none of them are as thick as this one.

The pipe twists and turns, winding around and down, with a steep slope all the way down. Sven guessed he was going to slide into the depths of the school, even deeper than the Slytherin dungeons and the underground classrooms!
