Chapter 670 Hufflepuff Chamber of Secrets
"Tack...tack...tack..."
This spiral staircase was longer than Enns had imagined. As he continued to descend, the initial ease gradually disappeared, replaced by a hint of vigilance quietly floating in his heart.
Although it was easy to cast the wand glow spell, maintaining the light was exhausting after all, and his spirit had already felt exhausted, so the spell had to be cancelled. Obviously, the effect of the Felicia elixir remaining in his body has also been exhausted.
Right now, there is endless darkness in front of his eyes and behind him, only the stone steps under his feet are still going on, step by step are exactly the same, as if there is no end.
Only the sound of footsteps was still echoing in the spiraling downward secret passage.
Without the guidance of Felicity Potion, Ensi naturally did not have the capital to move freely in the dark. Fortunately, the stone steps are quite easy to walk, as long as he is walking carefully while touching the handrail, he is not afraid of falling.
As for the dust accumulated in the groove of the armrest, in the current situation, of course, there was no room for him to dislike it.
"Tap...tap..."
The footsteps continued, which proved that Ernes was not intimidated by the current situation, and he continued to move forward.
Thinking about it, he also walked alone in that same dark ice cave. Although there is no torch to illuminate him now, he has a real magic wand. Although his spirit is still exhausted, he can still cast at least one or two ordinary spells... probably.
I don't know how long he walked in the darkness where he couldn't see anything at all. When Ensi's heart as firm as Ensi couldn't help feeling a little anxious, a sudden light suddenly illuminated his vision.
The light didn't look harsh when it entered the eyes, but looked extremely soft. Even though Ensi walked in the dark for too long, he didn't feel much discomfort.
And when this light flooded into Ensi's pupils instantly, an arched doorway also came into his eyes, and those rays of light came from this doorway.
Because the light came too suddenly, it was only at this moment that he came back to his senses—it turned out that he had finally reached his destination.
Although the effect of the Felix Elixir had already passed, Ke Ensi did not hesitate at the door for too long, he just paused slightly, and then took another step and walked straight into the door opening.
Since that wonderful premonition led him into the secret passage behind him, the doorway, which was the only exit of the secret passage, was naturally where the premonition pointed to. Since he finally got here, why did he hesitate?
As soon as he stepped into the entrance hole, Ensi immediately looked around the space inside the door and took a good look at it.
In fact, this is a secret room made of stone and bricks, which occupies a small area, at least it looks ordinary. Apart from the slightly low ceiling, there seems to be nothing special about it.
On the left and right sides of the secret room, there are two bookshelves side by side, each full of bundles of parchment rolls. There are quite a lot of those parchment scrolls, not to mention that the bookshelves are filled to the brim, and even the tops are piled high.
And in the innermost part of the secret room, there is a long table with various cups and dishes on it. Even if you look from a distance, you can immediately find that most of the tableware is extremely exquisite.
As for the central part of the secret room, the largest area is occupied by a thick and steady wooden carved round table. There are also several armchairs around the table, and the backs of the chairs are delicately carved with vivid little animals. It is very cute to see their naive expressions in their movements.
And on the wall opposite where Erns was standing, a large Hufflepuff College emblem was being fixed there, and small badger pennants with khaki tassels hung on both sides.
It can be seen that everything here is so unpretentious, as if it is an ordinary room...or a small kitchen.
If there is anything worthy of attention here, except for the old parchment rolls that are tied up,
Probably only the piece of parchment that was casually pressed on the round table by a tall wooden cup.
Oh no, another point worth mentioning is that - Ernes found that there didn't seem to be any dust in this secret room. Although the things here have an old feeling, but all the corners here are so clean, without any stains or dust.
Even, because Ens walked in the spiral passage for a long time before, the dust under his feet left extremely conspicuous footprints on the ground.
It's probably because it's so spotless here that even Ensi finds his own footprints a bit dazzling, wishing he could bend down and wipe them off.
However, he never forgot that the trip to the secret room tonight had already consumed a lot of time. If he still wanted to go back to sleep for a while, he had to hurry up.
Putting aside the awkward feeling in his heart for the time being, Ensi shifted his gaze to the front again, and quickly walked towards the round table in front of him. He thought it would be infallible to first look at the parchment on the table that was pressed under the cup.
Unfortunately……
"...What's this word?" He muttered in confusion, "I seem to have seen similar words several times when I was flipping through books in the library, but..."
Whatever it is, since you don't understand it, put it away first! Anyway, since I found it by myself, it is naturally my own - Ensi thought of course.
So, he shook his head indifferently, then rolled up the parchment in his hand, and stuffed it into the largest pocket of his coat.
With this first harvest, Ensi did not pause, and walked straight to the bookshelf on the right wall. It wasn't until he walked around the round table that he realized that there were several barrels on the ground next to the bookshelves, and the barrels were also stuffed with piles of parchment rolls, which was outrageously numerous.
As soon as he saw it, he naturally took some out without any hesitation. This time he didn't even look at it, but put as much stuff in his pocket as possible, and didn't stop until he couldn't hold it anymore.
"Anyway, take them all home and study them before we talk..."
Ens patted his two pockets contentedly, a frivolous smile appeared on his face. It's just that he quickly put away this smile, turned around and wanted to rummage in other places to see if there was anything more valuable that he should take away.
Although the secret room and the secret passage can't run, the spiral passage outside is too long, and he doesn't want to come down too frequently.
But when Ensi took a few steps around the round table again, he didn't know what he saw, and suddenly his whole body froze.
"..."
His throat trembled slightly, but no sound followed. And his eyes were fixed on the ground in front of him, as if there was something that he had to look at, and he couldn't take his eyes off for a moment.
There, there was a pale, dead bone, and a skull rolled down from one end of the bone pile. And holding the pile of white bones is a set of brown robes that are still bright in color.
"Who does this belong to..." After being shocked, Ens subconsciously glanced at the school emblem on the wall, "Could it be the founder of Hufflepuff College... Well, even if not, then It should also be a senior wizard related to Hufflepuff College."
For the dead, respect should always be maintained. Although Ensi often has all kinds of selfish psychology, there is still some minimum morality.
So, first he bowed slightly towards the corpse, and after expressing his respect, he carefully...uh, pulled out that peculiar wooden staff that was as long as an arm from under an arm bone.
This wooden stick was carved very finely, and the lines on it meandered and twisted, as if there was some kind of regularity. And between the fine lines, occasionally one or two small symbols are connected, which adds a bit of mystery to it.
Ens weighed it in his hand, then waved it lightly a couple of times, but nothing changed. He pondered for a while, and after finding that he couldn't figure it out for a while, he thrust it into his waist decisively again.
"Is this a wand too?"
While thinking, he wandered around the secret room a few more times, opened all the cabinet doors that could be opened one by one, and checked them carefully. But in the end, he realized that this place might really be a kitchen—all the space in those kitchen cabinets was taken up by tableware and kitchen utensils, and nothing else was found.
At the end, Ensi looked around the secret room again, then nodded secretly, turned around, walked out of the doorway and left here.
Not long after he stepped out of the doorway, the light behind him suddenly disappeared, and everything returned to the endless darkness again.
...
Ens's trip to the secret room was not known to anyone.
That night, already extremely exhausted, he returned to the dormitory in the dark, and just after putting away the parchment scroll and the wooden stick, he fell asleep and fell asleep. Until the next day, Ensi, who hadn't had enough sleep, was hurriedly woken up by his roommate, reminding him that it was time to go to the auditorium for breakfast.
It was at breakfast time that day that Professor McGonagall criticized a student on the spot. Needless to say, it was naturally the Slytherin student who was hit by Enns with the tapestry last night.
Only now did Erns know that the senior was named Draco Malfoy, and it was said that he was still a repeater.
Because of the captivating eyes he met at that time, Ens paid extra attention and firmly recorded the name in his heart.
He wasn't sure whether the other party had seen his appearance clearly, but as far as the moment the two eyes met, he should not have escaped when he was discovered.
"...Draco Malfoy."
Ernes scooped up a spoonful of sherbet and poured it into his mouth, murmuring indistinctly.
