Chapter 206: Finding Slytherin's Laboratory

Hermione opened her mouth. She wanted to say that this basilisk was an asset of Hogwarts.

After all, this basilisk was cultivated by Salazar Slytherin, one of the four founders of Hogwarts, and it has been living in Hogwarts.

No matter from which aspect, it belongs to Hogwarts.

But Hermione finally held back what she wanted to say.

It must be said that after a year of continuous transformation, Hermione is no longer the Hermione she used to be.

Andy has made an indelible contribution in this regard.

In fact, Andy was also a little surprised that Hermione was so quiet this time.

"In this world, nothing has ever belonged to anyone."

Andy thought it would be better for him to explain, "Even a country has been occupied by people in history."

Andy felt that he had killed the basilisk, and the basilisk belonged to him.

Whether Dumbledore knew the location of the Chamber of Secrets or not, he could not ask Andy for the body of the basilisk.

He didn't know, that was the best.

He knew... then he would continue to pretend not to know.

"You are making a far-fetched argument." Hermione felt that Andy had a lot of twisted arguments, and they always sounded reasonable.

"You are still young, you will understand when you grow up."

Andy continued: "Just like if you want to change the magic world, you will definitely take away the interests of some people. Maybe you think they are evil, but those things originally belonged to them."

After that, Andy turned his head and looked at the Slytherin head statue.

To be precise, he looked at the statue's open mouth!

"It's time to see the biggest gain today." Andy said.

Hermione did not continue to argue with Andy, she could not argue with Andy's twisted arguments that sounded reasonable.

Andy took out his wand and walked carefully towards the statue's open mouth.

"Be careful!" Andy reminded.

"You too." Hermione's voice sounded a little nervous.

In this secret room adventure, Hermione had no sense of participation throughout the whole process. It was only when exploring the basilisk's lair this time that there was a little tension.

The little witch thought it was very exciting.

Da Da Da! !

In the empty tunnel, the footsteps of Andy and Hermione sounded extremely clear.

Andy held up his wand and walked carefully towards the depths of the tunnel with the help of the light of the fluorescent spell.

The tunnel was very long. After walking about fifty meters, Andy came to an empty stone chamber.

Andy waved his wand, and several flames burned around the stone chamber. With the light emitted by the flames, Andy saw the entire layout of the stone chamber.

"This should be the nest of the basilisk." Hermione said.

"Let's look for it separately to see if there are any mechanisms or secret doors."

Andy warned: "Be careful!"

"Well! You should be careful too. Don't think that you can be reckless just because you are strong." Hermione responded, holding up her wand and began to check the stone chamber.

Andy turned around in the stone chamber and tried it with Parseltongue. As expected, Andy found nothing.

This stone chamber looks like the nest of the basilisk, and there is nothing special about it.

"Hermione, did you find anything over there?" Andy asked.

Hermione shook her head, then thought Andy might not see clearly, so she could only say: "No, what about yours?"

"Same!" Andy was a little disappointed.

Could it be that all the research materials of Salazar Slytherin were taken away by Voldemort?

This is too tricky, right?

Although the half corpse of the basilisk made Andy rich overnight, compared with Slytherin's research materials, those gold galleons are nothing.

The research materials of magic transformation, that is Andy's future.

"Andy, I don't think it's a good idea to keep looking like this."

Hermione came over and said: "This is the lair of the basilisk... Andy, if you build a laboratory, will you build it in the pet room?"

Of course not!

Andy thinks Hermione has some truth.

But...

"Slytherin may be different from normal people."

Andy reminded: "Even if he is not a lunatic, he seems to be an extreme person. He likes snakes very much..."

Speaking of this, Andy suddenly thought of the statue standing in the hall of the Ministry of Magic-all intelligent magical life forms surrendered to the feet of wizards.

Wizards are a very proud group of people. They look down on Muggles, other intelligent life forms, and even more so magical animals.

Even the extremely dangerous dragons are raised by wizards like pigs. Whenever the magic materials on the dragon are needed, a dragon will be killed.

According to this idea, will Slytherin build his laboratory in the pet room?

Of course not!

Andy re-thought, "Slytherin left the basilisk in the Chamber of Secrets for two purposes."

"First, to kill those he thought were unworthy of learning magic. Second, to protect his laboratory."

Hermione nodded in agreement, "The pipes in the Chamber of Secrets were not built until the end of the 18th century. Without those pipes, the Chamber of Secrets would have only one exit."

"In addition, Ms. Grey's words can also serve as evidence."

In Ms. Grey's words, although Slytherin had some differences with the other three giants, he was not an extreme thinker.

He was simply obsessed with the dark arts.

"You can't believe what Ms. Gray says!" Andy didn't believe that woman.

If Ms. Gray is really the daughter of Ms. Ravenclaw, Andy thinks there may be something wrong with her IQ.

Otherwise, how could she have tricked herself to death?

"Don't forget, Slytherin finally left Hogwarts. If it weren't for huge differences in ideas, how could he leave?"

Andy analyzed: "Also, the way to open the Chamber of Secrets is Parseltongue. Logically speaking, only descendants of Slytherin can enter, so why did he leave the Basilisk to guard the Chamber of Secrets?"

Andy felt that there were too many things that couldn't be explained.

"But you came in, Andy."

Hermione still insisted on her initial judgment, "Maybe the Parseltongue can control the basilisk, but you can't."

Andy spread his hands and said: "I am also a student of Hogwarts. If a descendant of Slytherin enters the secret room and will be killed by the basilisk, it means that Slytherin has murderous intentions."

Hermione was silent for a moment.

"Andy, the purpose of our argument is to find Slytherin's lab."

Hermione said: "We can analyze these two points of view together."

Andy held out three fingers, "That's three! Slytherin left Hogwarts, and he left the basilisk behind... maybe just because the basilisk was inconvenient to carry."

“Well, that’s three points!”

Hermione analyzed: "If Slytherin left the basilisk in order to protect the laboratory, then the laboratory should be near the basilisk's lair."
