Chapter 227 Slytherin’s Laboratory
Seeing the basilisk's eyes the size of light bulbs, Ivan felt his body become cold.
Fortunately, there were no signs of being petrified, and the Shadow of the Bloodline Magic Unicorn was also not affected in any way.
This proves that his previous guess was right
Even so, Ivan did not relax at all, because the huge basilisk had already snaked its body in front of him, and its cold breath sprayed on his body, making Ivan almost sick.
The basilisk opened its big mouth full of fangs, but did not launch an attack. Its eyes were fixed on the "owl" lying on the ground, cooing, and hissed from its mouth.
"Hiss~ (Hungry! Did you give it to me?)"
Before Ivan could reply, the basilisk suddenly opened its mouth, tore the two "owls" into its mouth, and swallowed them directly.
Ivan, who witnessed everything with his own eyes through the patron saint, could not help but twitch the corners of his mouth. His cock that was ready to deal with the basilisk was so cold.
To Ivan's relief, the basilisk had no intention of attacking him directly.
This means that both parties can communicate.
Thinking of this, Ivan followed the basilisk's whisper just now and spoke.
"Yes, this is the gift I brought you"
"Do you know where Slytherin's research room is? Is it the place where your master often goes when he is here?" Ivan added.
"Not enough! Hungry~" The basilisk ignored Ivan's words and surrounded him with its huge body, spinning restlessly. Its two eyes as big as lightbulbs stared at him and stretched out their arms from time to time. Her tongue tested his scent.
Ivan became nervous again.
At the same time, Ivan was also very depressed. Why did this basilisk behave like a foodie? Could it be that it was like this every time it was summoned?
Then Tom Riddle opened the secret room several times, and what did he use to feed him?
Ivan was worried that the basilisk would consider attacking him if it was too hungry, and he couldn't help but think of the information he had specifically looked up in the forbidden book area before coming to the secret room.
The above explains that the basilisk's diet is very diverse. It eats almost anything including mammals, birds, reptiles, and insects, but its favorite food is spiders.
Ivan had an idea and said.
"Tell me where that place is? I'll take you to eat Acromantula next time!"
"Acromantula?" The basilisk whispered in a low voice while spitting out the letter.
It didn't know what an Acromantula was, but judging from Ivan's expression, it should be a very large spider that should be able to satisfy its appetite.
This special name reminded the basilisk of an alluring smell it smelled in the castle when it woke up last time. It was very sure that it must be a delicious spider.
Unfortunately, not long after that, the person who drove it forced it to sleep.
Noticing the basilisk's reaction, Ivan calmed down and spoke again. "That's a very special kind of spider, very big. I believe you will like it! As for now, you should take me to your master's research room first!"
"Eat the Acromantula!" The basilisk murmured, weighed it, and then suddenly turned its head and meandered away in the direction it came from, as if it wanted to return to its lair.
Ivan was a little surprised why the other party suddenly ran away.
But soon Ivan thought of another possibility, and hurriedly ran forward and grabbed the basilisk's tail, letting it carry him up.
The basilisk also allowed Ivan's movements to enter through the open mouth of the Slytherin statue, sliding in the passage.
Ivan, who was lying on the tail of the basilisk, also followed the basilisk into the statue. The shadow of the unicorn surrounded him and illuminated the surroundings.
Not long after, after passing through the passage, Ivan found himself in a large place, which should be the basilisk's lair. It had not been taken care of for an unknown period of time, and it smelled of mold.
The surrounding walls are covered with murals, recording various magical creatures. The last painting depicts a basilisk.
And the real basilisk, after bringing him in, hovered in the corner, got out of the way, and revealed a door with a large number of mysterious runes drawn on it and a large snake in the center. Shape imprint.
On both sides of the door, there were two stone guards with swords in their hands crossed together, blocking the way to the door.
Ivan immediately understood that that was the place he was looking for.
"Salute to the great forerunner-Salazar Slytherin!" Ivan tried to read out the "key" given to him by the system.
Rumble~
The two stone guards suddenly moved, withdrew their weapons, opened the door, and then leaned down and knelt down, as if they were waiting for their master's servants.
Ivan couldn't help but complain, Salazar Slytherin really liked doing these roundabout rituals.
Stepping into this room, the surroundings suddenly became bright, and the ceiling was filled with dots of magic lights. Perhaps it was set up to automatically open the magic when someone comes in. What is rare is that it has been more than a thousand years and has not failed.
The basilisk stayed outside and didn't dare to come in. I don't know if Slytherin had given it any instructions before.
This made Ivan finally feel relieved and opened his eyes, canceling his guardian angel. There was always a weird feeling that his vision and body were out of sync.
Bang~
Ivan walked forward and soon found that he had stepped on something. He stopped and picked up the thing and found that it was several yellowed and wrinkled pages.
It was said to be paper pages, but in fact it was made of unknown material. It had the texture of licorice bark, which Ivan felt vaguely familiar.
After reading what was written on it, Ivan's face darkened.
"Tom, you are indeed a liar!" Ivan gritted his teeth in anger. After comparing the content, he was sure that this was the missing page of "Origin of Blood".
Tom had been deceiving him before that Dumbledore had taken it away, but he was still half-convinced at the time.
And these missing pages, just as Ivan originally expected, recorded the method of merging blood, which was the blood fusion potion formula that the system rewarded him with last school year.
"Sure enough, my previous guess was right."
Ivan was not surprised. After learning that "Origin of Blood" was written by Salazar Slytherin, he guessed that the reward given to him by the system was not something out of thin air, but something that already existed.
In addition to these, the missing page also details the existence of the secret room and how to get there.
Ivan thought, it seemed that what Tom said to him was not entirely false.
Tom probably found the clues left by Slytherin somewhere in the castle as he said, found the book "Origin of Blood", and then followed the prompts to the Chamber of Secrets
