Hogwarts: I Am Such a Model Wizard Chapter 191

Chapter 191 Entering the secret room for the first time

 Late night.

The third floor of the castle... In a women's bathroom in the corridor on the left side of the stairs, there were suddenly several laughs and a piercing scream.

 A ghost wearing glasses suddenly rushed out through the wall.

The next second, the wooden door of the bathroom was also opened from the inside.

Peeves held a handful of balloons filled with water and followed him with a smile. He also had a brand new packaging bag on his waist, which was filled with balloons of various colors and had plenty of ammunition.

Shortly after the two ghosts left, a corner in the originally empty corridor suddenly became distorted.

 “Huh…finally left.”

Kyle lifted the disillusionment spell, then came to the bathroom and opened the door and walked in.

 Because it had not been used for a long time, the old wooden door suddenly made a heart-wrenching "creak" sound.

This bathroom is small and dusty.

But Kyle didn't pay attention to this. He came to the sink, looked back and forth, and soon found the faucet with a small snake engraved on the side.

"It should be right here..." Kyle reached out and touched the snake and murmured: "The entrance to the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets."

Kyle hesitated for a long time about whether to come here.

 Because with his current strength, he has no chance of winning against the Basilisk.

And he's not Harry, so he won't have the help of the Phoenix and the Sorting Hat.

 But Kyle came anyway.

 Not to mention anything else, even if it was for the snake slough in the secret room, he had to come.

Like the fire dragon, almost all of the basilisk's body is covered with treasures. Its snake slough is an extremely rare potion material. On the black market, a piece as big as a palm can be sold for ten Galleons, and there is no market for it.

 The one in the secret room is almost twenty feet long, and could be piled up into a mountain in galleons.

 It is already very difficult for him to endure until now.

Kyle touched the little snake again, and a strange hissing sound came from his mouth.

"Open…"

While Kyle does not need Parseltongue to speak to snake magical creatures, this ability obviously does not work with faucets.

 So when he was at Newt's place before, Kyle specially found a rune snake and learned a few dialects from it.

Although it may not be authentic, it is certainly very standard.

 Because at this time, the faucet had emitted a dazzling white light and began to spin rapidly, and then the pool also moved.

Kyle watched as the pool slowly disappeared from sight, revealing a water pipe thick enough for a person to get in.

Kyle touched his box, took out his broomstick, and then got in decisively.

The light in the pipe is very dim, and there are some sticky things around it.

Kyle rode his broomstick all the way down, turning seven or eight times before finally leaving the pipe.

Kyle got off the broom.

 This is a dark stone tunnel, big enough for a person to stand in it.

 “Fluorescence!”

Kyle lit his wand and walked forward cautiously.

But it was too dark in the tunnel, and he could only see a small area in front of him. His shadow was stretched out on the wet wall, looking like a monster.

 The bones of rats can be found everywhere on the damp ground. Banban should like them very much. As Kyle walked, he paid attention to the movements around him and was ready to run away at any time.

 A few minutes later, Kyle turned a dark bend in the tunnel and finally found what he was looking for.

 The outline of a huge thing, coiled on the other side of the tunnel, motionless.

Kyle quickened his pace and walked over, raising the wand in his hand at the same time.

The light shines on a huge piece of snake skin, which is green and glowing with bright golden light, very bright.

Kyle immediately opened the box and stuffed the whole thing inside.

 After that, he searched around again, but he only found some scattered snake skin fragments, and this was the only one that was complete.

 Seeing this, Kyle gradually let go of his heart that had been hanging around.

 There is only one complete snake skin, which means that the basilisk does not move here often.

If his guess is correct, the one just now should have been left fifty years ago...that is, when Tom Riddle opened the chamber of secrets for the first time.

Kyle continued to walk forward, but for safety reasons, he did not completely let down his guard and still held the broomstick tightly.

Along the way, in the spirit of diligence and frugality, Kyle did not let go of the fragments and collected them all as soon as he saw them.

Just walking and picking it up, we soon came to the end of the tunnel. After turning the last bend, a solid wall blocked Kyle's face.

There are two intertwined snakes carved on the wall. Their eyes are set with large, shining emeralds.

Kyle stretched out his hand and pressed it on one of the gems.

He suddenly thought, if he took off these gems, the wall would never be opened...

 That's what Kyle thought, and he did it.

It's a pity that no matter what methods he used, whether he broke it off or used magic, the gem showed no signs of loosening at all.

It feels as if it is one with the entire wall.

Kyle spent a long time trying, but he only tired himself out enough.

 “Forget it, let's not try…”

He raised his head, looked into the eyes of the two snakes, and made a low, hoarse hissing sound again.

The two snakes separated, and the stone wall cracked in the middle, slowly sliding to both sides and disappearing. Kyle put his hand into the box, took a deep breath and walked in.

On the other side of the wall is a long, dimly lit room, with two rows of stone pillars carved with entangled snakes.

 After arriving here, the snake skins were completely gone and not even a trace could be found.

Kyle held the wand in one hand, clutched the neck of a rooster in the other hand, and held a broomstick under his arm, slowly advancing between the stone pillars where the giant snake was coiled.

Every step he took created a hollow, loud echo among the ghostly walls.

Kyle first searched around carefully until he was sure that there were no pipe openings except the entrance behind him, and then he walked through the room with confidence.

In front of the last pair of stone pillars, Kyle saw a statue as tall as the room itself, clinging to the dark wall behind.

The statue has an old monkey face and a sparse long beard that almost reaches the ground.

"Salazar Slytherin..." Kyle squinted his eyes and muttered in a low voice: "She doesn't look that good either. Ms. Hufflepuff looks more like a legendary wizard..."

Kyle raised his head, knowing that as long as he spoke the last word of Parselmouth, the statue's mouth would open, and then the Basilisk would wake up completely.

 “Should we wake up the basilisk?” Kyle thought hesitantly.
