Chapter 175: Salazar Slytherin (modified)

If you have a treasure hunt mentality, you will be disappointed to see this place!
But Allen believes that Salazar spent a lot of effort to build such a secret room, not just to store these things.
He patiently continued to explore.
At the very end of the hall, there are several spiral staircases spiraling upward.
What's interesting is that the stairs are divided into two parts: one part is like the winding slide pipe in the children's playground that surrounds the hall, and the other part is a normal staircase for humans to walk on.
Obviously, the passage similar to the slide was prepared by Slytherin for the basilisk.
Confirming that there is nothing worth lingering in the lobby on the first floor, Allen climbed up the wide stairs.
Here, Allen extremely hopes to have some useful discoveries.
This is a wider circular space. A thick layer of dust accumulates on the tiled floor. In the middle of the space, there is a strange, thin, lower half of a large skeleton.
It can be seen from its slanted metacarpal bones that this is an extinct animal resembling a ground sloth.
Its skull and upper body bones are buried in the thick dust nearby.
Some dark things, like burnt cloth heads, were scattered in one place, and Allen immediately recognized that they were the remains of rotten books.
These books have long been broken into pieces, and the mottled ink makes it difficult to tell what the contents are.
Allen gently brushed away the scattered books, and when the dust fell to the ground, a polished slate table appeared in front of Allen.
It lies horizontally on the ground, and there are some well-preserved stone boxes on it.
Just as Allen wanted to open the stone box, a majestic voice suddenly sounded: "Thousands of years, someone finally found the true secret room I left behind."
Alan was startled, and asked his throat, who was it?
"I'm here, above your head!" The voice master seemed to have guessed Alan's thoughts and said.
Alan turned around, and there was a painting floating above the huge skeleton!
With everything decayed and decayed, this painting has not only been preserved intact for thousands of years, it can actually float in the air!
The painting shows a handsome man in the middle of life, his facial features are very three-dimensional, like a knife. His brows were slightly furrowed, his expression was determined, and his expression was majestic-this was different from the old monkey-like monkey in Allen's memory, with the sparsely elongated beard dragged to the bottom of his robe.
The color of the painting turned out to be a single dark green, which is completely different from the brightly colored oil paintings used by wizards.
"This is painted with arrow stone ink." The man on the screen seemed to have guessed Alan's mind and explained directly.
Allen quickly checked his Occlumency, there was no flaw!
"As a gliding person, I can't use the mind-shake mind, but your look reveals what you think!"
This is simply the smartest painting Allen has ever seen.
But Arrow Rock! By chance, Allen had seen its information.
The ancient creature, arrow stone, became extinct and fossilized millions of years ago.
Being able to possess such precious fossils and lavishly use a large amount of ink from the arrow stones to paint, Slytherin's wealth is evident.
But the wealth belongs to Slytherin, and there is nothing but desolation here! There was dust everywhere and a dilapidated scene everywhere.
"Unfortunately, you are too late! There used to be a lot of precious documents and rare medicinal materials. Now they are all turned into waste products!" Slytherin said sadly.
After a pause, Salazar continued, "Unfortunately, I have not studied time thoroughly...In order to keep this portrait intact, I had to mobilize a lot of magical energy to maintain it. All this is worth it. of."
"I'm sure," Allen thought to himself, "Salazar is definitely the most narcissistic of the four founders!"
In order to protect his portrait, he can make countless treasures fly into ashes!
"Let me remind you that it is difficult for people in a situation like me to restrain themselves, and I don't need to bother about the guesses in your heart." Salazar's voice showed a trace of disdain.
But Allen didn't care, after all, the other party could only be framed in the picture and could not go anywhere.
Salazar watched Allen with extremely sharp eyes, as if studying carefully from head to toe.
"Blue school uniform? You are not a Slytherin..." Salazar was disappointed.
"But I am a Hogwarts through and through!" Allen was neither humble nor overbearing.
"At the beginning, we completely parted ways because of some differences. Now it seems that we might as well give it a try. After all, I don't have much time!" Salazar seemed to fall into the memory of the past, saying something that made Alan seem to understand. "I have to admit Ravenclaw's wisdom."
Allen waited patiently, with an impeccably gentle smile on his face.
"The reason why I have to use all the magic power to maintain the portrait is because I need to give some guidance to the little wizard who has the ability to find here."
Salazar actually walked out of the portrait, although it was just a faint shadow!
"Are you sure a little wizard can walk in here alive?" Allen blurted out. UU reading www.uukanshu.com
Salazar glanced at Alan sideways. "Am I wrong, you are a ghost?"
Allen was so shocked that he was speechless.
"You open this stone box, and you will get the answer." Salazar walked to the stone table and said, pointing to the stone box that Allen just wanted to open but could not open in the future.
Allen did not delay the time, and opened the stone box directly.
In the stone box, a splendid divine light was instantly ejected.
When Allen got used to the bright light, he discovered that this was a green gem!
The shape of this gem is roughly the same as the Merlin gem in Allen's hand. Do not! It should be said that there is almost no difference except for the color.
The Merlin gem in Allen's hand is blue, and this one is green!
The green light it exudes shocks the soul, without saying more, you can see that this rare treasure is extremely valuable.
But what does it have to do with Merlin's gems? Why are they so similar?
"Once, one of my descendants came to the secret room. However, through the basilisk, I knew that he was not pure blood! Although he was a snakelike voice, he did not meet my requirements, so he could only open the outer Secret Chamber."
Salazar seemed satisfied to see Alan remaining calm in front of the gem, and explained with interest.
"In you, I see all the qualities that the four of us want! Smart, brave, honest, and ambition! They should be satisfied with my choice."
Salazar immediately added: "Of course, most importantly, you are a pure blood."
