The Evil God of Hogwarts - Chapter 405

c393 snake den

So who will be the sinner who opens Pandora’s Box? Ellie asked herself standing in front of the brick wall. After returning to the police station to arrange some things, she returned to Hawkins’s old house alone.

What will Xing Ze do? The eldest lady asked again, and this time it had an answer – the madman would be happy to think that he had found the answer, and then open the wall without hesitation.

“Oh, then do it.” The wizard lady took out the spell and whispered a few spells. After the spell, the brick wall began to move, and soon a small entrance appeared.

She didn’t want to involve anyone, whether Scott or Yuri, those Muggles would only be a burden. This may be an arrogant statement, but at least they can save their lives. And the letters she left behind and the materials she sorted out will help the Round Table complete this commission later.

Now, she needs to go behind the wall to take a look, as a pioneer, as a scout to find out as much useful information as possible.

After entering the entrance, the brick walls returned to their original positions. Ellie turned around and cast a powerful sealing spell on the wall, so that it would take some time for the snake man to get out of here.

Then, the eldest lady waved her wand again and cast an owl eye on herself so that she could see things clearly in the dark.

It was a long tunnel. After walking carefully for a while – the wizard lady estimated that it should be more than a hundred steps away – she saw six remains, three of which had iron shackles on their limbs.

The remaining clothes on the skeletons looked like they were from the colonial era. Most of the bones were broken, probably caused by violence or insects.

Dark vision allowed Ellie to not miss any details. She found that there were traces of tearing and blood on the clothes, and there were fallen flintlocks and whips next to the three skeletons without shackles.

Combined with the information obtained before, these human remains full of traces of time should be the black slaves and supervisors who were smuggled back then.

The young lady didn’t waste too much time on the bones. She waved her wand, summoned a quill and paper to record everything she found. This information will help those who come later, especially the terrain here, which is exactly the purpose of her sneaking in alone.

She was not stupid enough to challenge a nest of snake people alone. She just came to explore the way, make marks, and collect information so that the formal investigation can go more smoothly.

Although it is very risky to do so, you can’t get the tiger cub without going into the tiger’s den. Of course, she has made all the preparations. She sent letters to John, Edwin and others. So that they can know where to find her.

In addition, she chose to come alone because it was convenient to escape. The more people there are, the higher the safety, but it also means that the risk of exposure will increase.

She has many tricks to save her life, such as Apparition, Chameleon Charm, Mist Charm, etc., but those Muggles don’t have them. She can choose to let them die. After all, those who have the courage to enter here are ready to sacrifice.

But Ellie couldn’t guarantee that she could be so cold-blooded as to watch her companions die. Ah, how she wished that her heart was as cold as her appearance, so that she could accomplish more things.

The wizard lady continued to move forward, and soon she found the changes in the wall. The old stones replaced the bricks, and there was a fishy smell in the breeze.

“River?” Ellie whispered softly. If the Hawkins family wanted to smuggle black slaves through the waterway, then the slaves in the port would use small boats to follow the Mersey River and reach the nearest drain.

From here, it should be the old drain, and the brick wall is the smuggling channel used by the Hawkins family.

The eldest lady stopped and thought about it, and seemed to feel that something was wrong. If the channel went forward, it would only reach the drain.

But, where is the snake man?

Something must have been missed. Thinking of this, Ellie turned back to the location of the six skeletons. She looked around and soon found a few cigarette butts on the ground.

She squatted around the cigarette butts and looked around. After a brief thought, the wizard took out the spell and whispered the spell.

As the spell was gradually completed, the location of the brick wall became blurred. Just when the spell was about to be completed, Ellie stopped suddenly and then waved the wand in her hand quickly.

Finally, she solved the spell and the alarm without any danger. A stable but dim light came from not far from the entrance. Ellie carefully cast the Chameleon spell on herself and walked in.

The winding passage led her to a huge room illuminated by phosphorescent lichens. Because the spell of the Owl Eye was still there, even this dim light became a little dazzling.

After thinking for a while, the eldest lady removed the Owl Eye. She took a breath, and the damp and sticky air was mixed with a fishy smell.

She carefully looked around and found that the strange words and patterns carved on the walls and natural stone pillars were covered with moss. Most of these exquisite works of art had been damaged. The east wall had collapsed, and any carvings and information on it no longer existed.

Ellie understood that she had stepped into the nest of the snake people.

…

Xing Ze covered his slightly swollen forehead. He didn’t understand the situation at the moment, but his alert instinct urged him to get up from the ground as soon as possible. His hand on the ground touched a sticky mass, and the familiar touch brought a bad premonition.

“What a ghost.” Xing Ze cursed as he stood up.

He felt that he should be in a cave. A huge natural stone pillar occupied most of the space. The stone pillar was carved into the image of a huge and coiled snake. On the forehead of the giant snake was a white crescent symbol made of pale gems.

In front of the giant snake was a large altar stained with dark traces, decorated with complex geometric patterns and runes. Spherical golden incense burners were located on both sides of the altar, all emitting fragrant smoke.

Jezebeth was lying not far from him, near the altar, and she seemed not to have woken up yet.

Xing Ze’s brain was working quickly. He wanted to figure out how he got here. It seemed that the woman used some teleportation magic to teleport the two of them to the cave of the snake man.

“Ah~ I didn’t expect that there would be a distinguished guest today.” This hissing voice sounded behind the giant snake, like a ghost asking for life, which made Xing Ze break out in a cold sweat.

Was the spell of fear added to the language? Xing Ze immediately saw through the opponent’s trick. Since the battle with Wax Face, he has rarely been so frightened.

But no matter what, the opponent can use this kind of black magic, so he must be a tough opponent. Thinking of this, Xing Ze’s heart sank again.
