Chapter 60 The Key to Unlock the Treasure
Ai Wen struggled to sit up, and there was a burst of pain all over his body.
He should be inside the Slytherin statue by now, with a lot of space around it, a narrow circular hole just above where the basilisk slides in and out.
"Strange, back to Hogwarts a thousand years ago, is it a dream?!" Ivan shook his head and groped for his wand on the surrounding ground.
As he reached for the wand, he reached for a bottle.
"Fluorescent flashing!" Ai Wen said softly, with the faint light on the wand, he could see that there was a small bottle of dark golden potion in his hand.
"This...could it be the magic potion that Slytherin gave me!"
Ai Wen was stunned for a moment. He suddenly realized that what happened just now was not a dream, but something that really happened. He did use that time switch to return to Hogwarts a thousand years ago, and saw the legendary four. giant.
As Hufflepuff initially told himself, Slytherin wasn't as inaccessible as it looked, and at the last moment he gifted himself a precious bottle of enchanting potion, which is unbelievable !
Ai Wen once read in a magic book that introduced potions, the magic potion is an extremely precious magic potion, and the formula and brewing method have been lost for a long time.
He carefully put the potion in his pocket. If he let others know that he had a bottle of magic potion, it would definitely cause a great sensation. Maybe even the Ministry of Magic would come out and ask him for it. This is not what Ivan hoped to happen.
He was going to take this bottle of potion to strengthen his strength when no one was there. Then, Ai Wen thought that when he left, the four founders of the school said that they would leave a mysterious treasure in the secret room to help qualified Hogg The Watts heirs against Voldemort.
If nothing else, the treasure location should be inside this statue.
He hurriedly picked up his wand and looked around.
As a basilisk's lair, the interior space of the Slytherin statue is much larger than it looks from the outside. There are bones of some small animals everywhere, and the traces left by the sliding friction with the basilisk.
After some searching, in the last position of the entire space, Ai Wen found an unlocked secret door.
He opened the secret door, and a puff of dust splashed.
When the dust gradually dissipated, Ai Wen found himself standing in front of a circular room.
This room was exactly the same as the room he had been to a thousand years ago. It was very beautifully decorated. The most striking thing was that there were statues of the four founders of the school in the four corners of the room.
Unlike the old-fashioned Slytherin statue outside, the four statues here are what the Big Four looked like when they were young: the sinister and cunning Salazar Slytherin, the benevolent Helga Hufflepuff, and the wise and wise Roy. Naravenclaw, the rough and handsome Godric Gryffindor.
Everyone is exactly the same as what Ai Wen has seen, vivid.
In front of the statue of the four innings, there are four stone altars with circular grooves on them.
This should be the real secret room that the Big Four said, that is, what is the secret treasure they left behind, and there are tests that must be passed.
Ai Wen took a step forward and saw different words written on the four walls of the room.
The content is a bit like a song sung by the Sorting Hat. Ivan read it one by one. On the wall of Gryffindor, it was written with golden paint: Brave Gryffindor, from the barren swamp! He leaves the highest reward to the most daring person! The key to unlocking the treasure is the courage buried in your heart, and you need to gain the approval of his proud followers!
On the Hufflepuff wall, black paint: gracious Hufflepuff, from the open valley! She treats everyone equally and everyone has a chance to get her treasure! The key to unlocking the treasure is integrity and loyalty, all you need to do is trust your humblest friend!
On the Ravenclaw wall, there is blue paint: beautiful Ravenclaw, from the quiet riverside! She thinks that the brightest minds should be rewarded! The key to unlocking the treasure is extraordinary ingenuity, and it will be passed on forever to her equally astute allies!
Finally, on the Slytherin wall, written in silver paint: shrewd Slytherin, from that quagmire! He only believes in wizards of the purest blood, and Mudbloods can't get anything from him! The key to the treasure is a mighty power, kept in the deepest depths of the earth by his sinister and cunning servants!
With the light of the wand, Aiwen read all the tips. The more he looked, the more speechless he became. These four guys are really bad fun. Since they left something, they took it out quickly. .
He couldn't understand any of these prompts.
Ai Wen didn't know where the Big Four kept the keys to unlock the secret treasure. What did the followers, friends, allies, and servants mentioned above mean?
He had no choice but to record all these words and discuss with everyone when he was ready to go out to see if he could find any clues.
When Ai Wen remembered all the words, a terrible, persistent, eardrum-piercing scream suddenly came from outside the statue!
He then remembered that there were still Tom Riddle and the Basilisk outside, and hurried out of the room.
As soon as he came to the bottom of the hole, Ivan heard Harry calling his name on it, he responded quickly, and Fox flew down with his wings and took him up.
During his absence, Harry had settled everything smoothly.
The scream I heard just now was Tom Riddle's last sound. In the middle of the chamber lay the basilisk's gigantic corpse, its upper jaw pierced by the Gryffindor sword. Not far from it was Tom Riddle's diary, which was pierced by the basilisk's fangs, and the venom burned a hole in the diary, and it was still hissing black smoke, Tick tock seeping ink.
"Ivan, we won, I defeated Tom Riddle, and I destroyed that diary as you said!" Seeing that Ivan was brought out by Fox, Harry hurriedly greeted him and asked with concern , "How are you, are you okay? I saw you got hit by Tom Riddle's spell..."
"I'm fine, something happened, I'll tell you when I go back!"
Ai Wen shook his head, saw Ron lying under the statue, and hurriedly said, "Let's go and see Ron's condition."
When Ivan and Harry hurried over, Ron was already sitting up.
His dazed eyes first fell on the huge corpse of the Basilisk, then on Harry in a blood-stained robe, and on Aiwen, whose robe was also tattered, and finally he saw the diary at his feet.
He shivered, gasped, and tears flowed uncontrollably.
"Evan, Harry, I'm the one who killed everyone, I shouldn't believe Tom Riddle, I wanted to tell everyone that I did it, but I'm afraid, Riddle told me, if I do , you will never consider me a friend!"
"Yes, you are indeed a bastard. If I hadn't been so tired that I was about to fall apart, I really wanted to go up and beat you, Ron!" Ivan said angrily, "You would actually believe Voldemort's nonsense, and Not trusting your friends."
"It's all my fault, I should be expelled!" said Ron disappointedly, "I felt abnormal shortly after the first attack. I naively thought that I could solve that diary by myself, But it's getting deeper and deeper."
"It's over, Ron," Harry reassured him. "We all believe in you, you're just controlled by Riddle, and you didn't do those things."
"But......"
"For the sake of saving Ginny in the common room, I also forgive you!" Ai Wen walked over and dragged Ron up, "But if there is such a thing in the future, you must be the first to do so. Tell us instead of trying to figure it out on your own."
