Chapter 190 Horcrux?
Aaron raised his eyebrows and made a strange sound.
Unlike the gloomy snake language, dragon language is more profound, but it is not something that ordinary people can understand.
Although Abei was reluctant, his master told him not to waste his energy, so he could only fly to Aaron in disappointment.
"This barrier has been set up by Riddle for more than a month, and it is not so easy to break.
But it's not that you can't help me, just wait for me to summon." Aaron patted its head meaningfully.
It takes a thousand days to raise an army and a moment to use it. I specially learned the summoning magic circle for today.
"Aaron, what sound did you make just now?" Harry asked curiously, "That's definitely not snake language."
"Dragon language." Professor McGonagall said with some surprise, "That's the language of dragons. There hasn't been a dragon speaker in the magic world for at least a thousand years. No wonder you can keep a dragon by your side."
"You think too much, professor." Aaron shook his head, "I only learned dragon language after becoming Abe's master.
Some magical things may happen to my dragon cub later, please let it go, but also pay attention to protect it."
After saying that, Aaron entered the barrier.
Harry, Ron, and Hermione looked at each other and ran towards the barrier. The professors couldn't stop them.
"Fuck!"
Seeing this, Aaron's eyes twitched constantly, and his heart was even more thunderous.
"You three are sick, aren't you?
You must die, isn't it good to be alive?"
"You need help." Hermione said as a matter of course, "We just want to make up for the mistakes we made, we should have this right."
"Potter, you guys hurry up and come out." Professor McGonagall was anxious outside, "You can't help even if you go."
"Professor, don't worry, we will definitely not drag you down." Harry vowed.
"My sister is in danger of life and death, I can't wait outside."
"You guys hurry up and come out, or you will be expelled!"
"It's useless, professor." Aaron spread his hands helplessly, "This barrier allows entry but not exit, they can't get out even if they want to."
"What?" Professor McGonagall retreated a few steps in despair, as if most of her strength had been drained away. If it weren't for Professor Sprout's timely support, she might have fallen to the floor.
"You are worthy of being a Gryffindor." Professor Snape said sarcastically, and then looked at Aaron, "Although I don't want to add pressure to you, but protect these three idiots."
"I can only say that I will do my best." Aaron didn't dare to make any guarantees, because these three people are really not easy to deal with, and he would be thankful if they don't drag him down.
Professor Snape's expression stagnated, "Then protect yourself."
"I will do my best for this."
The four of them passed through a narrow passage and went down to the real secret room through a ladder.
The secret room is very large, and the light in it is not too dark, and the visibility is not low.
There is a row of giant snake stone pillars on each side. They are not in the pool to support the high ceiling, adding some weird colors to the room filled with water elements.
Aaron watched Harry and the other two draw their wands, carefully, as if facing a great enemy, and walked forward step by step, and he felt a little bit amused.
"The basilisk is not here, don't be so nervous."
"How do you know?" Ron asked back, "It may be behind a pillar and may launch a surprise attack at any time. It's always right to be careful."
Aaron's mouth twitched, and he explained: "My hearing is more than ten times better than yours. The basilisk is so big that its actions can't be hidden from my ears."
"Then you have to take out your wand!" Hermione said, "What if you are caught off guard?"
Aaron:......
Do I have to tell you that I am proficient in wandless spells?
When the few people walked to the end of the secret room, a huge statue suddenly appeared in front of them, clinging to the dark wall.
This is an old wizard with sparse hair and even baldness. His long beard almost drags to the hem of his wizard robe, which is more exaggerated than Dumbledore.
Looks gloomy, but full of majesty.
"Salazar Slytherin, founder of Slytherin House." Aaron simply performed a wizard salute, "This should be what he looked like when he was old, but he still looks extremely wise."
"Ginny." Ron ran quickly to the foot of the huge sculpture, where a red-haired girl was lying on the cold floor.
"Ginny, please don't die, please don't die." Harry threw his wand aside and helped Ginny up.
Her body was not stiff, unlike the others who were petrified, but her face was pale and her body was extremely cold, almost like a dead person.
"Ginny, please wake up!" Ron begged and shook twice, "Open your eyes and look at me, please."
"Is she still alive?" Hermione asked worriedly.
"She's still alive." Aaron felt Ginny's breath, which was extremely fragile and intermittent, but there was no doubt that she was alive. "But she's in very bad condition, very bad, with only one breath left.
To be precise, her life has entered a countdown, maybe a few hours, maybe more than ten minutes, or even a few minutes if it's worse."
"Can you save her?" Ron looked at Aaron eagerly, "I know you can save her, you have that potion."
"It's not up to me to save her or not." Aaron said meaningfully, and then looked at a black diary not far away, "I'm here, you should come out too, right?
Tom Riddle, the descendant of Salazar Slytherin, shouldn't be a coward!"
Pa! Pa! Pa!
The sound of applause rang out, and a tall boy with black hair walked out from the shadows, but his outline was a little blurry.
At the moment the figure appeared, the system's voice rang in Aaron's mind, "Congratulations to the host for triggering a new system task."
[Destroy Voldemort's Horcrux:
Complete the task to reward 1200 magic points, no penalty for failure, do you accept it? 】
"Watfa..."
Looking at this new task panel, Aaron was completely numb.
Why is it Voldemort? Does this old immortal have to be so lingering?
What is a Horcrux? Is it in this secret room? Could it be... that diary.
Just as Aaron's thoughts were surging, the figure gradually approached, forcing him to retract his attention.
"I can see that you are not in a good condition."
"It's just temporary." Riddle picked up Harry's wand and played with it for a while. "Nice to meet you, Aaron Gaius.
You are the person I want to see most in Hogwarts besides Harry Potter. I know you will come, even faster than I thought."
Aaron laughed, "Actually, you don't have to think so highly of me. I am just a nobody. There are many people in Hogwarts who are better than me."
"That's too self-deprecating, Gaius." Riddle smiled meaningfully, "It took me five years to find the Chamber of Secrets, but you took less time than me.
And you can infer the existence of the basilisk from a series of attacks, and even infer that I am the mastermind behind it. This is more amazing than anyone else in Hogwarts."
"It's mainly luck, luck." Aaron said modestly.
"Luck?" Riddle seemed to have heard something funny and laughed out loud, "Gaius, you and I are the same kind of people.
We are both Slytherins, we both know the importance of hiding our weaknesses, and we both do whatever it takes to achieve our goals. Do people like us believe in luck?
Ah... No, luck is still worth believing in.
If I hadn't been lucky enough to be picked up by Harry Potter, I might not have known that there was a Slytherin like you in the school. You found out so many things without making any noise, which made me feel shocked.
I know I have to avoid you before the plan is completed, otherwise once you find the flaw, all my efforts will be wasted."
Aaron heard this and complained about Harry Potter in his heart.
It can only be said that a wise man will make mistakes. Who would have thought that Harry Potter would sell him out so easily!
"What did you do to Ginny?" Ron asked with red eyes.
"She won't wake up. She may die in half an hour."
"You did it?" Harry asked in disbelief. "But why? Even for Salazar's career, Ginny is pure blood."
"It has nothing to do with whether she is pure blood or not. It's just bad luck for her.
If I want to get a new life, I must have a sacrifice, a brand new life or even a soul.
Of course, I paid a big price for it."
Riddle's eyes were full of greed, but his voice was full of complacency and disgust.
"It's too boring to listen to an eleven-year-old girl talking about those childish troubles.
But I was patient and answered her every word carefully, showing special understanding.
After I confused her, she easily opened her soul to me, which was exactly what I needed most.
I devoured fears and secrets from the depths of her heart and became stronger and stronger."
"But after a while, she also began to doubt you, otherwise she wouldn't throw away the diary." Hermione said calmly.
"Of course, anyone who finds out that they have lost a lot of memory fragments and are related to several attacks will be afraid.
To be honest, I was already planning to change a host, but what made me happiest was that Harry Potter picked up this diary.
Ginny told me about your thrilling and fascinating past. You are definitely the person I want to see the most. "Riddle stared at the lightning-shaped scar on Harry's forehead and laughed wildly. "I wanted to know as much as possible about you, and I had a lot of questions to ask you, but you gave me a huge surprise. I really didn't expect that there would be someone besides Dumbledore in Hogwarts who would pose a threat to me.
Out of caution, I had to keep a low profile and accumulate strength in the dark.
But after Ginny Weasley found out that the diary was in your hands, she stole the diary to prevent her secret from being known to you.
Do you know how excited I was when I saw her again? It's not easy for you and me to do it, but a little girl is not easy to deceive.
I used her to release the basilisk again, attacked a Ravenclaw, and forced Dumbledore away.
After devouring most of her life, I learned from her soul that she was going to hand me over to Mr. Gaius. There was no way, I could only get out of the diary in advance in this posture to control her to write a suicide note, and then wait for you here.
She had struggled desperately, crying and making a scene, but it was no use. "
"Damn you." Ron shouted angrily, gritting his teeth and pointing his wand at him, "Expelliarmus."
The green light moved back and forth in the worn wand, and finally shot out from the front under Ron's expectant eyes.
But Riddle didn't even recite the spell, he simply waved his wand to bounce the spell back, and Ron's wand also slipped out of his hand.
