Chapter 175 Salazar Slytherin (Modified)

If you are holding the mentality of treasure hunting, you will be disappointed when you 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 was patient and continued to explore.

At the innermost end of the hall, there are several spiral staircases spiraling up.

Interestingly, the staircase is divided into two parts: one part surrounds the hall like a curved slide pipe in a children's playground, and the other part is a normal staircase for humans to walk on.

Obviously, the passage like the slide was prepared by Slytherin for the basilisk.

After confirming that there was nothing worth lingering in the hall on the first floor, Allen climbed up the wide stairs and climbed up the stairs.

Here, Allen desperately hopes to make some useful discoveries.

This is a wider circular space. A thick layer of dust has accumulated on the tiled floor. In the middle of the space, there is a strange, thin, lower half of a large skeleton.

As can be seen from its skewed metacarpal bones, this is an extinct animal similar to the giant ground sloth.

Its skull and upper body bones were buried in the thick dust nearby.

Some black, charred cloth-like things were scattered in one place, and Allen immediately recognized that they were the remnants of rotten books.

These books have long been broken into pieces, and the mottled ink marks make it difficult to tell what is recorded on them.

Allen gently brushed away the scattered books, and when the raised dust fell to the ground, a polished slate table appeared in front of Allen.

It lay horizontally on the ground, and there were some well-preserved stone boxes on it.

Just when Alan was about to open the stone box, a majestic voice suddenly sounded: "It has been thousands of years, and finally someone has found the real secret room I left behind."

Allen was startled, his heart raised his throat, who is it?

"I'm here, above your head!" The owner of the voice seemed to have guessed Alan's thoughts and said.

Allen turned around, and there was actually a painting suspended above the back of that huge skeleton!

With everything decaying and decaying, not only has this painting been preserved intact for thousands of years, it can actually float in the air!

The painting shows a handsome man in his prime, his facial features are very three-dimensional, like knives and axes. His brows were slightly frowned, his expression was resolute, and his expression was majestic-this was different from the impression in Allen's memory of the monkey-like old man with the sparse long beard that dragged to the hem of his robe.

And the color of the painting turned out to be a single dark green, which was completely different from the brightly colored oil paintings that wizards were used to.

"It was drawn 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 is no flaw!

"As a glider, I can't use Legilimency, but your expression reveals what you are thinking!"

It was simply the smartest drawing Allen had ever seen.

But Arrowstone! By chance, Allen had seen its information.

Arrowstones, an ancient creature that became extinct and fossilized millions of years ago.

To possess such precious fossils, and to use a large amount of ink from Arrowstone extravagantly to paint, Slytherin's wealth can be seen.

But the wealth belongs to Slytherin, there is only desolation everywhere! There is dust everywhere, and there is a dilapidated scene everywhere.

"Unfortunately, you came too late! There used to be a lot of precious documents and rare medicinal materials here. Now, they have all become waste products!" Slytherin said sadly.

After a pause, Salazar continued, "It's a pity that my research on time is not as thorough as Rowena's... In order to keep this portrait intact, I had to call in a lot of magical energy to maintain it, all of which are 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 annihilate countless treasures in ashes!

"Let me remind you that it is very difficult for a person in a situation like mine to restrain himself, and I don't need to pay attention to the current speculation in your mind." 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 couldn't go anywhere.

Salazar observed Allen with sharp eyes, as if studying it carefully from head to toe.

"Blue uniform? You're not a Slytherin..." Salazar was disappointed.

"But I am a Hogwarts through and through!" Alan was neither humble nor overbearing.

"At the beginning, we completely parted ways because of some differences. Now it seems that I might as well give it a try. After all, I don't have much time!" Salazar seemed to be caught in the memory of the past, and said something that Allen half understood "I have to admit Ravenclaw's wisdom."

Allen waited patiently, with an impeccably gentle smile on his face.

"The reason why I use all my 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 only a faint phantom!

"Are you sure a little wizard can walk in here alive?" Allen blurted out.

Salazar squinted at Allen, "Am I wrong, are you a ghost?"

Allen was stunned speechless.

"If you open this stone box, you will get the answer." Salazar walked to the stone table and pointed to the stone box that Allen wanted to open but could not open in the future.

Allen didn't delay, and directly opened the stone box.

A brilliant divine light erupted from the stone box in an instant.

After Allen got used to the bright light, he found that it was a green gem!

The shape of this gem is roughly the same as the gem of Merlin in Alan's hand. No! It should be said that except for the color, there is almost no difference.

The gem of Merlin in Allen's hand is blue, but this one is green!

The green light it emits is breathtaking, and it doesn't need to be said much to see that this rare treasure is of great value.

But what does it have to do with Merlin's Gem? Why are they so similar?

"Once upon a time, a descendant of mine came to the secret room. However, through the basilisk, I knew that he was not a pure blood! Although he could speak Parseltongue, he did not meet my requirements. Therefore, he could only open the peripheral Chamber of Secrets."

Salazar seemed satisfied to see that Allen remained calm in front of the gem, and explained with interest.

"In you, I see all the qualities the four of us want! Smart, brave, honest, and ambitious! They should be satisfied with my choice."

Salazar immediately added: "Of course, the most important thing is that you are a pure blood."
