The Evil God of Hogwarts - Chapter 408

c395 A deal that had to be accepted

This request made Xing Ze feel ridiculous, even absurd. He couldn’t help but ask: “Why did you choose me? You obviously have a better choice. Jezebeth is a famous lady in the magical world. Entering Hogwarts with her method is a piece of cake, not to mention…”

Reese interrupted Xing Ze, “She can indeed enter Hogwarts, but she can’t enter the Chamber of Secrets. There are two magic doors in the Chamber of Secrets. One is left by Salazar Slytherin, and there are only me and the other one.” One knows the spell to enter. There is one left by me.”

Xing Ze pondered for a while and suddenly understood the reason, “Interesting, you are afraid. You are afraid of suffering a loss again, right? It must have been very uncomfortable to be betrayed by your beloved disciple Tom Riddle.”

It seemed that he had poked the snake man’s sore spot, “Hiss–” Scia Reis let out a low roar, waved the scepter in his hand, and the flames of the incense burner on the altar “jumped”.

The blue-green firelight made the altar and the giant snake sculpture even more eerie. Xing Ze also used the light to see the snake man’s shriveled right hand hidden under his robe. It was obviously a trace left by black magic, which was irreversible and incurable. .

“Tom!” Reese whispered, “Tom Marvolo Riddle, I have to admit, he is a rare genius among humans.”

As he spoke, the snake man raised his right hand. Not just the palm, its entire arm was as shriveled as a mummy.

“He is quite smart and tried to defeat me with traps and lies. Unfortunately, I never believed him from beginning to end. If the Avada Kedavra had been a little more accurate, it would have hit my heart. ”

Hearing this, Xing Ze was secretly shocked. Avada Kedavra is Voldemort’s specialty curse. This black magic used for killing has powerful power. He has not heard of anyone who has been hit by this curse and survived.

But now, there is a person, no, there is a monster who is still alive after being cursed. It looks like there’s nothing wrong with it except that the right hand is dry.

Did a recognized death-killing curse disable a hand? It was Voldemort’s spell. Although Tom was not at his peak at the time, Xing Ze was not confident that he could withstand one of his life-threatening spells.

“He only had time to steal one of the snake eyes, and the remaining one is still hidden in the secret room.” The snake man’s tone gradually returned to calmness, “I need someone to help take it out, but I don’t trust humans. Don’t even believe in wizards. They are always greedy.

“Just like Riddle, he is extremely intelligent, but he still can’t get rid of the bad nature of human beings. That fool wanted to secretly learn the art of immortality from me. I gave it to him, secretly, hiss, hiss -”

Reese laughed a few times, as proud as a hunter who had tracked down his prey.

“Is it a Horcrux? You taught him how to make a Horcrux.” Xing Ze understood immediately.

“No, no, no, messenger, you are wrong. I didn’t teach him. The production method I gave him was incomplete. This resulted in each peeling and division of the soul, which made the person’s temperament become more and more weird, and finally entered the Crazy.”

No wonder the resurrected Voldemort was so paranoid, so tyrannical, and even stupid. He was eager for success and acted without logic or rules. From this point of view, his ultimate failure was already doomed. Xing Ze thought so in his heart.

Scia Reese answered the doubts he had always had, but that was not important. What was important was that it had not yet explained why he was chosen to go to the secret room.

“So you want someone who feels safe to take the snake’s teeth?”

“Yes, Messenger. And you, you do not belong to this world, so the snake’s fangs are of no use to you.”

“Sounds like a really good deal.”

“Hiss, glad to hear that.”

“But how can you guarantee that we can definitely send him back?” Xing Ze changed the topic, “I’m afraid you can’t guarantee this kind of thing.”

“Guarantee?” the snake man spat out, “Think about your current situation, messenger. Your life is in my hands. You should be glad that we are not a barbaric civilization, even though humans have always demonized us.”

“You want to say that I can’t refuse the deal you proposed, otherwise I will lose my life?”

“What you said is too serious.” The snake man shook his head, “We are all civilized people, but I am personally very interested in your body structure, so I will condescend you to live in my laboratory for a while.”

Xing Ze raised his hands and said: “Okay, okay, I agree. Before that, we should sit down and talk about the plan as equals. I know there is a good coffee shop. If you like to drink…”

Several black shadows flashed out from the side and quickly came to Xing Ze’s side. The only silhouettes that came were flickering and appearing. They were demons and ghosts. These invisible creatures were always known for their speed. Xing Ze didn’t resist and allowed the monsters to carry him deeper into the cave.

…

The deeper you go, the more humid the air becomes. In addition to glowing lichens, other types of fungi are also growing on the walls, cave ceilings, and ground. The year-round growth of these fungi covers the ground with a layer of soft soil.

The moisture in the cave and the stalactites and stalagmites that can be seen everywhere make the ground slippery and difficult to walk on. There is still water in some potholes, and stones that have fallen from the cave roof have blocked some of the branches. Fortunately, the largest main passage is intact.

Along the way, Ellie discovered that the entire cave system was full of stones with artificial traces. These snake-men made the most of the natural terrain. They dug tunnels, polished rock walls, expanded caves, and only used water when necessary. Only then will the supports be built.

Some of the rock surfaces in the cave were also decorated with carvings similar to those snake-shaped and geometric patterns, some of which looked like some incredible text.

As they went deeper, there were more and more of these words and carvings, and finally the passage opened up, and the young lady came to a long and twisted room.

It was decorated with a large number of elaborate carvings, in addition to the previous snake-shaped geometric patterns, there were also a series of murals. These strange murals made Ellie stop, she watched, trying to understand the meaning of the paintings.

She knew there was no time for such things now, but the paintings attracted her deeply like magic. This is a series of landscape-themed carvings, with towers and other types of buildings. The serpentine figures in robes are depicted as performing various sacrificial activities.

Some images show them worshiping a giant snake with a crescent pattern on its forehead, and other carvings show the snake people and their cities being attacked by huge reptiles. The final scene of the mural depicts the snake people abandoning their cities on the ground to the reptiles and fleeing underground, where they built a new home.

There was a name engraved on one of the underground cities. For some reason, Ellie whispered it out loud, “Yousi.”
