harry potter book of crimes

In the tombs and palaces buried deep underground, there are many traces of ancient civilizations that Enns has never seen before. There are long tomb passages filled with unknown characters, huge stone doors that are half open and half covered, and a series of continuous tombs.

A huge mural on one side.

Along the way, Enns held up the radiant wand and looked around, feeling quite dizzy. Everything here seemed to him to be in another world.

He even discovered a strange formation in the center of the underground palace that almost covered the entire tomb.

Look at the middle of the formation, an old floor-to-ceiling mirror is placed there quietly, and the countless blue silk threads scattered around it clearly indicate that the formation is still in operation.

Since the tomb looked too suspicious, and Enns thought Malfoy must have walked ahead of him, he never thought of going in and taking a closer look.

After a quick walk, Enns, carrying the broomstick that accompanied him all the way, hurriedly passed through several tombs and finally entered the huge main tomb located at the deepest part of the underground palace.

Then, he was completely shocked by the astonishing black monument.

"What...what is this?"

The main tomb is so big that even the light from the wand's glowing spell cannot reach the top, so when you look up you can only see darkness. And the huge black monument stands straight from the floor tiles of the tomb.

He rose up and disappeared straight into the dim shadow.

Just as he stood at the entrance of the tomb, feeling deeply shocked by this giant stone monument that looked like black jade, an extremely vicissitudes of voice suddenly rang out from his mind. He clearly could not understand a single word.

But surprisingly, I can understand its meaning clearly.

"...Well...power...you want power..."

After Enns heard it, he was immediately stunned, and he couldn't help but want to walk towards the stone tablet. It felt like that voice had infinite temptation, which made him almost irresistible.

Yes, it's like... it's constantly attracting his soul!

The moment Enns suddenly realized this, his progress suddenly stopped. Because he finally discovered how different this situation was compared to the previous trial in the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets.

Very similar - as soon as he stops, he must bear an extremely terrible burden, and even one second seems to be stretched dozens of times!

Under the temptation of that voice, holding on to one's will has become an extremely difficult thing.

"If it hadn't been for Salazar Slytherin's trial, I'd probably have lost myself by now, right?" Enns, who was holding his knees to support his body, couldn't help thinking, "I just don't know.

How long will this... last..."

His knees were shaking, and his heart was filled with the instinct to move forward, but he vaguely understood that he could never let things go here. His intuition told him that if he listened to the bewitchment of that voice, he would really be doomed.

"...power...you want...power..."

In Enns's senses, the time he struggled to maintain his will was as slow and long as the movement of the stars, but in fact it only seemed like about ten seconds had passed.

When the moment came when the voice that kept swirling in his head suddenly stopped, his whole body went limp, and then he knelt down on the square floor tiles and gasped hard.

"Is it finally... over? Could it be that... this is some kind of damn trial?"

While breathing heavily, Enns spoke intermittently. Of course, he didn't expect anyone to respond to his complaints, but to his surprise, a burst of transparent green light lit up in the darkness above his head.

.

"Successor, it's good that you resisted the temptation from the soul... If you obeyed the will of that voice, you would definitely become a walking corpse and lose yourself forever."

When Enns heard this, he was startled for a moment, and then he suddenly raised his head.

"Who are you...Salazar Slytherin?"

After he saw the green shadow in the sky and guessed the identity of the other party, he noticed one thing - what the other party said just now was in the language of snakes.

However, he did not receive an answer to his inquiry, because although the figure looked down, he seemed to completely ignore his meaning.

"And just now, you did persevere until the end. The soul mark I imprinted on you in the secret room also successfully awakened the memory I kept in the snake staff."

Slytherin's shadow was just talking to himself and had no self-awareness at all. As he himself said, this green shadow was just a memory image that he had retained thousands of years ago.

But from this sentence, Enns knew one thing - even if Malfoy had been here before him, he would definitely not be able to awaken Slytherin's magical image, because he obviously would not have the so-called "soul mark"

”.

While Enns was secretly rejoicing, Slytherin's shadow had already continued speaking.

"Now, my successor...the person who deserves to die under the stone monument has been suppressed by me. In a short period of time, he will not be able to affect you again. You can climb to the top of the stone monument to accept the gift I gave you.

…”

"Well……"

Enns was stunned for a moment. He looked at the incredibly tall black monument in front of him and then at the broom in his hand. He couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

"Is it possible that wizards in that era could fly at will?"

Just because the image of Slytherin made "climbing to the top of the stone monument" so easy and natural, Enns couldn't help but feel that his guess might actually have some possibility.

After a moment of wonder, he climbed onto his broomstick and soared into the sky, flying straight to the height where the Slytherin shadow was.

"Ohhhhh!"

He didn't expect that it was actually very close to the top of the tomb. So, when he discovered this, he could only quickly slow down and turn sideways, barely avoiding the tragedy of hitting the dome of the tomb.

At this time, the image of Slytherin, who had given the visitors time to climb to the top, began to speak again.

"Successor, pull out the emerald snake staff I left here. It can help you no longer be disturbed by the power of the Bewitching Monument. It will also increase the magic you cast while providing you with a certain degree of magic supplement...

"

It was time to reap the benefits, and Enns seemed particularly excited. Having just landed on the top of the monument from the broomstick, he excitedly ran towards the short staff that was emitting emerald green light. He could clearly see

Look, the so-called "emerald snake staff" is inserted diagonally between several pieces of gravel on the top of the black stone tablet.

"Click——"

From the time he found the clues to the unsolved letters in Hufflepuff's Chamber of Secrets, he had gone through a lot of hard work along the way.

Whether it was looking up and translating ancient texts, or going through trials in the secret room, and of course the hard flight all the way... I even almost had the final fruit snatched away by Malfoy.

To be honest, he couldn't wait for a long time.

Before the image of Slytherin could finish speaking, Enns grabbed the snake staff that glowed with fluorescent green light, and then pulled it out with all his strength.

The moment the snake staff left the black giant monument, a cold and majestic breath swept across Enns's body in the blink of an eye. There seemed to be a touch of vicissitudes and loneliness from ancient times in that breath, which made

In an instant, Dernes seemed to be swallowed up by an endless darkness.

Soon, Maka, who was still several miles away, noticed this amazing movement.

But in the next moment, the snake staff held tightly in Enns's hand came out with an extremely clear and cold feeling, which wiped away the terrible feeling just now.

Slytherin's image was naturally unable to feel what was happening right now. And what he said in Parseltongue continued——

"Successor, if you accept this gift from me, it means that you will accept my next mission. Take my snake staff, recite the incantation with me, and give me the power I left in it.

The cultivated basilisk—"

At this point, Slytherin's shadow suddenly laughed.

"Chichichichi...hahahahaha... Ridiculous and despicable Haierbo, all his soul fragments will be wiped out by the monster he researched... Hahahaha..."

At this moment, the giant stone tablet under Enns's feet shook without warning, as if something was about to break out from under the stone tablet. And at the same moment, standing on the stone tablet and listening to Slytherin's old voice

Enns, who was laughing, was immediately dumbfounded.

"Basilisk?" He said in astonishment with his mouth half open, "What the hell is that-"

Halfway through his words, he recalled as his feet shook more and more violently. Yes, in the secret room, another shadow of Slytherin seemed to mention some kind of power, gold... and snakes.

Strange……

But……

"You old scumbag with a sparse beard, why didn't you tell me earlier!" He yelled at Salazar Slytherin, who was still laughing loudly next to him, "This time... I'm afraid I'm really going to get killed by you this time.

Killed!"

Of course, there was no use in cursing anymore, so Enns just vented his anger and immediately got on the broom and jumped into the air. He didn't care about anything and rushed straight through the tomb passage.

Obviously, in the absence of that basilisk, his strength alone is of no use. Instead of hesitating here to see what will crawl out from under the giant monument, it is better to escape as soon as possible. If you are lucky,

, maybe even a small life can be saved.

And just as Enns quickly rushed towards the door of the tomb, even the entire underground palace trembled slightly. At this moment, there was only one thought left in his head——

"Should you just bury me alive?"
