Chapter 171 Secret Path (Modified)

It is really not easy to leave Hogwarts Castle now.

Although Dumbledore left the castle, the professors inspected the castle more frequently.

The little wizards gathered together again in groups of three or four, and the common room would be empty after midnight.

And Allen can't always go out after midnight, he has to make sure he sleeps so that he has the energy to deal with the next day's class.

Therefore, Allen had to let Tina and Xixiu out, hoping that they would cooperate with Gaia to find the passage for the cockatrice to enter and exit the Forbidden Forest.

They left the pet space reluctantly, and Allen felt their mood swings—they all wanted to complete the task as soon as possible and were unwilling to stay outside.

Regrettably, however, the area of ​​the Forbidden Forest destroyed by the cockatrice is quite large and disorganized, and it will take a while to figure it out.

On a night with few stars, Gaia brought Alan a message that Harry and Ron broke into the Forbidden Forest at night and entered the territory of the acromantula. But in the end, with the help of the magic car, he left the Forbidden Forest safely and soundly.

In this regard, Allen expressed that he was not surprised. The place where he had to work hard to escape was not worth mentioning under Harry's bad luck.

The next day, during the first morning session of Transfiguration, something happened that made the Chamber of Secrets for the first time in weeks.

Professor McGonagall had only been in the room ten minutes before telling them that the exam would be held on June 1st, just a week from today.

"Under the current state of emergency, the school is still not closed, the purpose is to allow you to receive education." She said sternly, "Therefore, the exam is still going on as usual, I believe you will all study hard."

The students in the class were chattering, and there was a chatter in the classroom. This is already the situation in the castle, and there is still an exam.

"Professor, I have a question." Alan didn't have much opinion on the exam, but there was one question that he had to pay attention to.

Professor McGonagall frowned more tightly, and his face became more gloomy. "Mr. Harris, what's your question?"

"Professor, how will we take the second-year Defense Against the Dark Arts exam? Who will write the questions?"

Except for the masters who are confident about the exam, the other little wizards instantly quieted down, and they prayed silently in their hearts: "Don't take the exam, don't take the exam."

"The test questions for the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, I will decide with Professor Flitwick. The content should be the knowledge you have learned this year." Professor McGonagall looked a little more relaxed.

After a pause, she continued, "Of course, we will focus on the content of the handout Mr. Harris prepared for you."

The little wizards exchanged glances. Everyone knows what Professor McGonagall means: Those expensive and thick books of Professor Lockhart can be thrown aside.

Just review the content on the notes that Alan has organized. With a review scope, the exam is much easier.

The final exam is a very sensible decision. It works better than Valentine's Day gifts, charms, and professor patrols.

The restless atmosphere in the castle was replaced by intense and busy review.

After all, the monster in the secret room may not necessarily attack him, but the exam is indeed imminent.

This night, unlike the past when I had nothing, Xixiu brought back a gold cup with a unique shape and a very cute pattern of stars and moons on it.

"Where did this come from?" Allen played with the gold cup and tried to communicate with the other party.

This seems to be a cultural relic from thousands of years ago, definitely not a modern craft.

Xixiu twisted her body, the collection was taken away, it was very displeased.

Tina patted Niuxiu's head with her wings in dissatisfaction, reminding it to pay attention to its attitude.

"When Gaia and we were tracking the cockatrice, in the depths of the Forbidden Forest, we saw a collapsed stone house, and the remaining stones were weathered, forming a large ruin.

" said Tina gently.

"Xixi found this cup in these ruins?" Allen asked.

This question was affirmed by Tina.

Allen felt that regardless of whether the ruins had anything to do with the cockatrice, it was worth checking out.

Allen is a decisive person, once he has made up his mind, he will act immediately.

He escaped the professors who were watching the night, and under the leadership of Tina, he passed through the dense forest, escaped countless creatures in the forbidden forest, and came to a field he had never set foot on before.

A rich and lush world unfolded in front of Alan: the trees and ferns full of flowers were full of vitality; farther away, there was a small lake, and the waves shone like silver under the moonlight; the lush land gradually bulged and stretched To the rolling verdant mountains, and the verdant mountains finally disappear in the solemn sky.

A strange sight caught Allen's attention. They were round wells with several wells.

These wells are surrounded by quaint copper railings and have a small dome above them to keep out the rain.

Allen walked over and looked down from one of the wells. According to Allen, this was simply a bottomless pit.

Allen sat down by the well, leaned over and peered down at the bottom of the dark well. He couldn't see the light of the well water at all, and he couldn't see any reflection after lighting it with a fluorescent spell.

But there's a sound coming from all the wells: boom-boom-boom-

Allen stretched his arm into the well, and he found that there was a continuous air flow blowing down the well wall.

In order to further confirm his judgment, Allen threw a note towards the mouth of the well. The note didn't float down slowly, but was sucked in immediately, and disappeared suddenly.

Allen thought of the secret room where the sewer pipe was directly connected, and he came to an extremely exciting conclusion, that is, there is a huge ventilation system underground, and these wellheads are the air inlets of the ventilation system.

"Does this mean that the cockatrice came out of these wells?" Allen felt that the possibility was very high.

"Here, it's here." Tina's voice came from behind a raised hill.

Alan stood up and turned around the hill. Tina was circling over a huge stone ruin, and she yelled happily. She was very happy to help Alan.

Sniff climbed up and down among the ruins of this stone house.

Allen also got in through the gap between two stone pillars erected obliquely.

There are many roads that are not clear, blocked by huge fallen stones.

Allen found a narrow corridor, and the windows at one end and on both sides of the corridor were blocked by collapsed stones.
