Glory To Slytherin

Chapter 31

Ulysses’ expression changed suddenly, frightening Pippi, and hurriedly shouted:

“Give me some more time! I’ll remember it!”

Ulysses ignored it. He quickly thought about the reason for the appearance of the basilisk.

That’s right, the thing hidden in the wall is undoubtedly the basilisk in the Slytherin Chamber.

School has only started for less than a month, and Halloween is still far away. Basilisk shouldn’t have appeared so early. Unless… someone put it out specifically.

The thought of this possibility made Ulysses’ face a little more gloomy. If this is the case, it means that his plan has been ruined by an unknown spoiler.

His eyes were slightly closed, looking for the magic mark he had left in his notebook.

Soon, somewhere in the castle, a faint magic power passed to him in return. Ulysses roughly distinguished it, which was where the Gryffindor common room was located.

In this way, Ginny Weasley can rule out…

Ulysses frowned. He thought for a long time, but he didn’t have a clue about the spoiler.

“I thought about it!”

The sudden scream interrupted Ulysses’ thoughts, and Pippi Ghost’s face was full of rejoicing, and he said loudly, “Hundreds of years ago, the person in charge of renovating the castle’s plumbing system secretly built a secret passage, which seemed to lead to Slytherin’s Secret Chamber…”

“Don’t bother me… wait, what are you talking about?”

Ulysses was upset by the quarrel and was about to shut it up, but when he heard the last sentence, his eyes opened slightly, and his heart was greatly shocked.

“I didn’t know until I overheard them by accident…”

Pippi jumped into the air and flew around Ulysses, “Do you want to know where? Pippi can take you there! As long as you don’t use that ring against Pippi again!”

“Wait—”

Ulysses reached out to stop it, and asked cautiously, “Have you ever been in? What’s it like inside?”

Pippi shook his head, his voice lowered a little: “No. There is a lake above the end of the secret road, I can’t get up…”

For fear that Ulysses would not believe it, he patted his chest and promised:

“Don’t worry, I will go in with you, and I will never run away halfway!”

“lead the way.”

Ulysses’ eyes flickered, and he quickly made a decision. He is not an indecisive person. There is an accident in the plan right now. He at least needs to know what happened in the secret room.

Ulysses is not a snake-like voice and cannot enter the secret room in a conventional way, so he waited with peace of mind until today. Unexpectedly, Pippi gave him a surprise.

Pippi rejoiced in a backflip in the air, thanking that he had value in the eyes of Ulysses.

It jumped all the way up the stairs, led Ulysses to a remote corridor on the seventh floor, and pointed to a brick on the wall.

If you look closely, you can see that a brick is painted with exactly the same lines as the surroundings, which looks like a complete wall.

Ulysses chuckled softly. If it weren’t for Pippi to lead the way, I’m afraid no one would have thought that there is a secret road in such a remote place.

“How to get in?”

Ulysses asked.

Pippi lay on the wall, his eyes widened, and he distinguished carefully. The sharp claws passed along a smooth arc. There was a muffled noise in the wall, and the large brick slowly receded back.

Ulysses leaned over to see that there was a bottomless black hole underneath. In order to prove that he had no wrong intentions, Pippi jumped down when the secret path was opened.

Ulysses looked at it for a while, then blessed a floating spell on himself and jumped down.

The secret path was silently closed behind.

The whistling wind sounded in my ears. It was pitch black in front of me, and I couldn’t see my fingers. It feels like rushing down a sticky, endless slide.

This dense road has twists and turns, winding all around, and the slope is very steep all the way down.

I don’t know how long it took before Ulysses saw a faint light underneath. He strengthened the power of the Levitation Charm, stopped when he was about to fall on the ground, and only stepped on the ground gently after the momentum of the fall was completely relieved.

“Fluorescence flickers.”

Ulysses took out his wand, and a soft white light rose from the tip of the wand.

There is a short tunnel ahead. Go inside and look up, you can see the dark lake.

Thinking of coming to the lake and the tunnel with some kind of magical isolation, Pepy Ghost stopped in front, pointed to it, and signaled that it was not lying.

“Wait for me here. Fire and water will not invade.”

Ulysses confessed to Pippi, and then chanted himself a curse of non-invasion of water and fire, leaped hard, and floated into the lake.

The lake was divided by him, and he walked up step by step in the water as if walking on land.

Ulysses was standing in a stone tunnel, surrounded by white skeletons, which looked like small animals like mice.

In front is a long, dimly lit room. Many stone pillars engraved with entangled snakes, towering and supporting the ceiling dissolving in the darkness above, cast a long and mysterious dark shadow on the entire room filled with green and mysterious.

Ulysses waited quietly for a while, listening to the chilling silence.

Then, holding the magic wand, he walked slowly among the stone pillars coiled by the giant snake. Each step produced a hollow, loud echo between the four walls of the ghost buildings. He squinted his eyes, ready to close his eyes tightly whenever there was a turmoil.

Although Ulysses speculated that the basilisk was still wandering in the castle, he was careful to sail the ship for thousands of years.

When they were parallel to the last pair of stone pillars, a statue as high as the room itself suddenly appeared in front of him, clinging to the dark wall behind.

Ulysses raised his head and looked at the huge face above: it was an old monkey-like face, a sparse beard, dragged almost all the way to the hem of the stone-carved wizard robe, two The gray footboard stood on the smooth floor of the room.

“Salazar Slytherin…”

Ulysses looked at the statue quietly, and then whispered the name of the founder of Slytherin softly after a while.

In the corner of the room, a huge green snake skin was piled up, and there was a trace of a behemoth staying beside it, and the basilisk was nowhere to be seen.

Ulysses searched the room carefully, and finally saw a few continuous series of wet footprints beside the statue’s right foot.

Ulysses stared at the footprints, his eyes as cold as a pool.

After a long time, he snorted, walked to the wall behind the statue, and took up his wand.

There was a silver glow on the tip of the wand, which kept sliding only an inch from the wall.

One after another mysterious and beautiful lines appeared in the air, gradually forming a pattern with gloomy light.

Ulysses’ wand was tapped lightly, and the pattern was tapped backwards on the wall, gradually merging with the wall. Then disappeared.

After doing all this, Ulysses sneered and said to himself:

“No matter who you are… go in and show me?”
