Salazar's True Face

The four of them walked deep into the pipe in the dark. The road in the pipe was extremely sticky and slippery, and it was very difficult to maintain balance. Many pipes branched out in all directions, but none of them were as thick as this pipe. Their pipe twists and turns, twists and turns, and the slope are very steep down. Loki felt that he had slid deep into the ground of the school, and the cold air surrounded him, and a cool air gushed out from under his feet.

"This place should have gone deep into the ground of the school for a few miles. The secret room is built in such a remote place. It seems that Salazar is weird." Augustus looked at the dark space ahead and said lightly.

"Actually, from the location of the Slytherin common room, it is not difficult to find that he has an extraordinary preference for the underground. It can be explained that the secret room is built so deep underground." Loki smiled slightly. The founder of Slytherin did not catch a cold.

"Probably under the lake by now," said Ron. He narrowed his eyes and surveyed the dark, sticky walls around him.

Going forward, there was no light at all, Loki took out his wand, "Fluorescent flashes!" He whispered, a faint blue light flashed, and the walls of the secret passage reflected the shadows of several people.

Several people continued to walk forward, and the road became more and more tortuous. The bones of some small animals began to appear underground. Most of them were mice, and there were some strange bones. It was impossible to tell what species they belonged to.

"Wait, what's ahead." Loki stopped suddenly, watching a shadow not far away with alertness, several people stopped, and there was the outline of a coiled behemoth in front of him, lying on the other side of the tunnel. On one side, motionless.

"Don't panic, it's just the skin of the basilisk." Augustus smiled slightly. The scope of the eye of inquiry is now a mile. Even if there is no light, objects within a mile will be visible. For a mage, In other words, vision is a very important element. As long as you master the vision, you can be invincible.

Although Augustus' words made Harry and the others a little relieved, the huge shadow in front of them still made their hearts palpitate. Loki took the wand and walked forward cautiously. The light shone on a pair of huge snake skins, green and very bright. At first glance, it looked like the skin of a poisonous snake, lying coiled on the ground of the tunnel. empty. The animal that had just shed the skin was at least twenty feet long.

"My God." Ron sighed feebly.

"Is this the length of that basilisk?" Harry's eyes were full of shock, how could such a huge monster rescue Ginny with their strength?

"That's all. I thought the legendary backroom basilisk was terrible. Just by looking at its skin, we can tell that it's just a big python." Loki pouted, slightly disappointed. Before, I was quite apprehensive about this basilisk, but when I saw the skin it had shed, I felt less suspicion in my heart.

"For this kind of monster that has survived for thousands of years, no matter how it is, it should not be taken lightly. Like these basilisks that have evolved for so long, the survival skills they have mastered must be endless, so it is better to be afraid." Augustus, I reminded Loki a little that although the strength of the basilisk is unknown, it is taboo to underestimate the enemy before the war.

Loki nodded, a few people walked past the huge snake skin, and the tunnel turned one turn after another. At last, they carefully turned another bend and found a solid wall in front of them, inscribed with two intertwined snakes, with large, gleaming emeralds in their eyes.

"It's your time to play again, Harry." Loki waved at Harry, motioning him to come over.

Harry guessed what he had to do. He cleared his throat, and the emerald eyes seemed to twinkle.

"Open," Harry said in a low, muffled hiss.

The two snakes parted, the stone wall cracked in the middle, and slowly slipped to the sides and disappeared. Several people sorted out their moods and walked slowly along the separate wall.

They were standing on the side of a long, dimly lit room. Many stone pillars carved with entangled serpents, towering and supporting the ceiling that melted in the darkness of the high place, cast long and eerie shadows on the whole room filled with green and mysterious mystery.

"Such an architectural style is undoubtedly the type of structure of a secret room. It seems that we have reached our destination. These stone pillars are quite interesting. Did you find them? The arrangement of these stone pillars coincides with a combination of magic spells." Augustus looked around. The stone pillars scattered around touched his chin with interest.

"This is indeed the style of Slytherin. I remember reading it in a book. The architectural style of Slytherin has always been a single line, and all types are in line with Salazar's construction concept." Loki nodded, slightly He pondered, the arrangement of the various facilities in the room in front of him was similar to the setting in the Slytherin common room.

Several people continued to walk along the stone pillar. Harry's heart was beating wildly, and he walked forward slowly. Is the basilisk lurking in a dark corner behind a stone pillar? Where is Ginny? Every step of the way, there is a hollow, loud echo in the walls of the ghostly shadows. He kept squinting his eyes, ready to close his eyes tightly as soon as there was trouble. He always felt that the empty eye sockets of the two stone snakes were always following him. More than once, he seemed to see something moving, and his stomach cramped with nervousness.

He glanced at Augustus in front of him. The blue light in Loki's wand reflected the unusually tall figure of Augustus' back. Harry felt a little at ease. The Basilisk and there is no longer much deterrence, Harry has always had a blind trust in Augustus. Continuing to follow everyone forward, when they reached parallel with the last pair of stone pillars, a statue as tall as the room itself appeared in front of them, clinging to the dark wall behind. Harry had to lift his neck high to see the huge face above an old, monkey-like face, with a long, sparse beard that dragged almost to the hem of the stone wizard's robes. , two large gray feet stand on the smooth floor of the room.

"This is Salazar's statue? It's better to meet you if you're famous. I didn't expect our Slytherin founder to look like this. I have to say, it's a pity." Loki looked at the person in front of him with some playfulness Huge statue.

Augustus was silent he did not expect the founder of Slytherin to be so handsome, any wizard who can reach the legendary realm should not be underestimated, but he did not expect Salazar, who has always been known as a pure-blood nobleman. Slytherin looks like this. Although people can't be seen, Salazar's face can indeed be described in four words. In short, it is unsightly.
