Chapter 248 If Possible, No One Wants to Be a Liar All the Time!

"Hiss~ Open it!" Ivan rushed to the abandoned girls' bathroom as quickly as possible, reopened the entrance to the secret room, and jumped in without hesitation.

After passing through the silky, dark pipe, it took a long time before falling to the ground. Ivan didn't even have time to clean up the sticky dust and dirt on his clothes, so he held the wand and walked towards the inside of the secret room.

The sound of rushing water slowly reached my ears. A huge snake-shaped statue stood on the side, and streams of water were gushing out from the snake's mouth and flowing into the pools on both sides.

In the center of the pool was a long aisle, and on the platform at the end, a figure wearing dark purple robes and a gold-red cloak was standing in front of the statue of Slytherin with his back to him.

Hearing the footsteps behind him, Lockhart turned his head suddenly and saw Ivan on the other side of the aisle. His expression became very panicked. He waved his hands in a panic and said nonchalantly. "Hals, why are you here?"

"Lockhart!" Ivan waved his wand angrily.

Whoosh~

A dazzling red light hit Lockhart, but was bounced off by the protective cloak. It hit the snake-shaped stone sculpture on the side. The huge snake head was blown into a big crater, and a large amount of gravel and dust fell from the air.

When Lockhart saw what happened to the stone sculpture, he swallowed hard and took a few steps back.

Although the curse was resisted by the protective cloak, Lockhart did not feel the slightest sense of security. After all, he had seen Ivan's true strength.

"No need to pretend anymore, give me the Horcrux!" Ivan didn't pay too much attention to this situation and approached step by step.

During the past few days of experiments at school, Ivan has figured out how to use the blood magic basilisk eye. A protective cloak is no hindrance.

"Horcrux? What is that? What are you talking about?" Lockhart felt guilty and wanted to continue to defend, but after seeing Ivan raise the wand again, he quickly changed his words.

"If you are talking about a black diary, it is no longer in my hands now!"

"You gave it to your admirers?" Ivan was not surprised, but said sarcastically.

"They trust you so much, and you just use them as a tool to feed Tom Riddle? You are really ruthless."

The moment he saw the mission completed, Ivan understood everything he had never thought about before.

After Dobby lost his Horcrux, it was Lockhart who picked it up. Only Lockhart could easily win the trust of so many little witches from different houses and grades.

"You can't blame me. They paid for me voluntarily. Besides, they are not dead, right? Thanks to their efforts, I am one step closer to becoming a magic master." Lockhart spread his hands. , said very innocently.

"So? Did Tom cure you?" Ivan laughed angrily at Lockhart's remarks. He never knew that Lockhart could be so stupid.

He thought that Lockhart had fooled so many powerful wizards and written so many legendary stories that he could learn some lessons from them.

I didn't expect that I would easily believe the words of an evil diary.

However, to Ivan's expectation, Lockhart nodded and said proudly.

"Of course! He cured me, otherwise I wouldn't cooperate with him."

"Split into pieces!" Lockhart waved his wand in a show-off manner, and a magic ray hit the stone pillar on the side, making a small hole in it.

"Did you see that? I just successfully released a magic spell! Of course, I know that there is still a big gap between this level of strength and that of a magic master, but I believe it will be different soon."

"Not only that, I can even speak snake language now." Lockhart's face was red, and he showed Ivan his changes with excitement.

For Lockhart, who likes to show off and show off, his strength has improved so much all of a sudden, but he has never dared to tell outsiders, almost suffocating him to death.

"Do you really understand who the person you made the deal with is? That's the Dark Lord! Do you think he would be so kind?" Ivan's heart felt cold as he listened to Lockhart's words.

In his opinion, Lockhart had been deeply affected by the Horcrux, and it was even possible that his soul had been corrupted by Tom Riddle without knowing it, so that he could speak the language of snakes.

Thinking of this, Ivan quietly approached Lockhart step by step. The closer the Basilisk Eyes were, the better the effect.

He needed to retain the enhanced magic text that was used every six hours, as well as enough magic power to deal with Tom Riddle, and did not want to spend too much power on Lockhart.

"But I have no choice!" Lockhart suddenly calmed down a little. He looked at Ivan and said disappointedly.

"Hals, I have begged you twice to help me. I hope you can tell me the secret to becoming stronger quickly. I am willing to pay more gold galleons for it, but you still refused, right?"

"I said I don't have anything like that at all" Ivan replied with a frown.

"Don't try to lie to me! I saw everything you exchanged with him in that diary. There is a way, isn't it? It's in the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets!"

Lockhart interrupted Ivan's words excitedly, his eyes turned red, and his whole body was trembling under the influence of emotion.

He stared at Ivan, with a look of envy and even jealousy on his face, and murmured.

"You know what, Hals? I've always envied you!"

"You have almost everything I want! Whether it's strength or reputation, you are so special no matter where you go. You can master a profound magic spell in just a few hours."

"But I am different from you. I am so mediocre. Without relying on some special means, I will never be able to get ahead! Never!" Lockhart looked a little hysterical.

"You use the Forgetting Curse better than anyone else. Isn't this your talent? You just keep using it in the wrong place!" Ivan deeply imprinted Lockhart's crazy appearance in his mind, and his heart was filled with confusion. A hint of chill.

"What's the use of that?" Lockhart sneered.

"No matter how good you are at using the Forgetting Curse, you can only be an ordinary employee in the Affairs Department of the Ministry of Magic. Your job every day is to cast spells on those stupid Muggles over and over again to make them forget some unpleasant things. Things to remember!”

"I need flowers and applause, and I need everyone to pay attention to me and worship me. This is the life I should live!" Lockhart's face became intoxicated, and then turned extremely ferocious.

"Hals! If only, no one would want to be a liar all the time!"
