From Kamal Taj to Hogwarts

While sliding continuously in the diagonally downward pipe, Sivan was not used to this greasy pipe, so he changed into the deformed form of the fusion of Meredigos and Animagus, turning into

A small blue-purple snake with plain white wings flew down the pipe.

In front of the little snake, Riddle was still sliding down in front, his movements were very calm and skillful, and it seemed that he had done this many times.

He didn't know how long he had been sliding, but Riddle suddenly fell to the surface. The water pipe became horizontal, and further forward was the outlet of the water pipe.

He sat down on the wet ground with a "pop" sound. Although he quickly stood up skillfully, there was still some sticky mud on his school robe.

Following Riddle, a small blue-purple snake made of Greek culture emerged from the mouth of the pipe, and lightly transformed into a human form and landed on the ground. Not only that, he also cast an invulnerability spell on his shoes in advance,

There was no trace of dirty dirt on his body, which formed a sharp contrast with Riddle's slightly embarrassed figure.

Seeing Riddle taking out his wand and preparing to clean his clothes, Sivan also took out his own wand, and with the light of the wand's illuminating spell, he began to look at the secret room several miles deep beneath Hogwarts Castle.

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

The surrounding walls were dark and sticky, making this tunnel look particularly eerie and strange. There was no light source except the lighting spell of the wand in Xiwen's hand. He could only see a small area in front of him, and he had no idea about the overall layout of the tunnel.

Can't see clearly.

At this time, Riddle also used the cleaning spell to clean his robe.

He slightly straightened the folds of his clothes, looked at Sivan and said, "Have you ever thought of visiting the secret chamber of the great Salazar Slytherin, Senior Rosier?"

He shouted the last "Senior" very loudly, as if he was venting his resentment towards Xiwen for preaching to him.

Xiwen glanced at Riddle in the dim environment and nodded slightly.

"Why not?" he said.

Afterwards, Riddle took the lead in walking towards the front of the tunnel and led Xiwen towards the depths of the secret room.

The two of them walked on the road, neither of them spoke, only their footsteps pattering on the wet ground, making a loud sound echoing in the empty tunnel.

Their current state does not look like opponents who are about to engage in a life-and-death duel. Instead, they look like a pair of ordinary seniors and juniors, walking in the corridors of the castle one after another, feeling relaxed and walking briskly...

Different from the torch-filled corridors of the castle, the tunnel was too dark. There was no light source except the lighting spell of the wand in Sivan's hand. The light of the wand reflected the shadows of Sivan and Riddle on the damp wall.

Above, they look like two weird monsters.

Riddle was already extremely familiar with this area, and even if there was no light, he could reach his destination accurately by relying on his memory.

But Xiven couldn't stand this dark and depressing environment anymore. He silently raised his wand and silently used the enhanced version of the wand lighting spell, creating a ball of light that followed him and also illuminated the surrounding space.

In the suddenly bright environment, the tunnel was still as silent as a tomb, but the gloomy atmosphere was dissipated a lot.

At this moment, an unexpected "click" sound sounded at Xiwen's feet.

Xiwen looked down at the ground and found that he had stepped on the skull of a small animal.

Surprised, he carefully checked the ground back and forth, and found that not only the bones under his feet, but also the bones of small animals were everywhere in the tunnel, which seemed to be the food that the basilisk had found in the ground when it woke up from hibernation.

Xiwen was startled for a moment, and subconsciously imagined the size of the basilisk compared to the size of these small animals. After making the comparison, he could not figure out how the basilisk could rely on these animals after hiding deep underground for nine hundred years.

Little things survive.

After all, I don’t know whether it was because the previous heirs of the Gaunt family did not discover Salazar Slytherin’s secret room, or they discovered it, but did not have the courage to release the basilisk. In short, in these hundreds of years and nearly a thousand years of history,

There have been very few incidents of basilisks hurting people, and the very few such incidents happened far away from Hogwarts, and were definitely not caused by the one we just saw.

From this point of view, the basilisk should have mastered an innate ability to be able to sleep deeply, reducing its own metabolism to the point where it almost ceases to function, thus surviving these nine hundred years.

As for the reason for the formation of the corpses of those small animals, I am afraid that either its energy is about to be exhausted and has to be replenished; or else there is indeed a descendant of the Gunter family who used Parseltongue to find this place and awakened the body.

The basilisk is in a deep dormant state, so much so that it has to eat some small animals to have enough energy to continue sleeping.

Thinking of this, Xiven suddenly realized that this basilisk could come out of Slytherin's secret room from the depths of the tunnel at any time, and could also freely shuttle through the pipes throughout the castle, and could catch a lone little one at any time.

If the wizard captures and eats it, he won't just find some small animals to stuff between his teeth.

But it never did!

Except for being petrified by Tom Riddle, the descendant of the Gaunt family, using Parseltongue to control a young wizard and a ghost, it has never actively done anything bad to harm humans!

Xiwen couldn't help but have some doubts about the existence of the basilisk.

If its existence is a back-up left by Slytherin, in order to eliminate young wizards of Muggle origin and prevent the blood of wizards from being tainted, then the basilisk can come out of the secret room at any time and eat any muggle wizard.

Lose.

The way it comes and goes without a trace in the pipeline is not easy to attract the attention of others, and even if it eats people, it may not be discovered by the principal and professors of Hogwarts.

So why doesn't the basilisk do this?

Could it be that Salazar Slytherin left this basilisk just as a decoration? This is certainly not something that a great wizard like Slytherin could do thousands of years ago.

So the truth is more likely to be an aspect that is difficult for everyone to think of. Salazar Slytherin did not leave this basilisk in order to let it eliminate the muck wizards, but more likely to let it serve as a protector for the Hogwarts.

Gwartz's secret weapon!
