The Evil God of Hogwarts - Chapter 414
c400 An ending that is not an ending
As the two of them were thinking about what to do next, a burst of rustling footsteps sounded behind them. Xing Ze and Ai quickly turned around, and the figure in the robe suddenly waved the wooden staff in his hand.
The impact of magic made Xing Ze fly back, and the moment he landed, his hands and feet were tied up by countless vines growing from the ground. These vines blessed by magic were as strong as steel bars. Xing Ze’s futile struggle had no effect.
Ellie’s situation was not optimistic either. Although she quickly blocked the opponent’s magic with defensive spells, magic kept coming towards her.
While parrying with all her strength, she thought about retreating towards Xing Ze. However, the opponent’s spell came too quickly and powerfully. After barely holding on for a while, she was defeated.
“You two did a good job of making a fool of yourself.” Scia Reiss praised him. He staggered forward, stretched out his withered hand, and the magic power gathered at his fingertips.
The eldest lady raised her wand and completed a spell as fast as she could. The two magics collided and burst into dazzling light. A few seconds later, Ellie was hit by magic and the wand in her hand fell to the ground.
At the same time, the snake man had come to her side, and she was injected with a green potion before she could resist.
In an instant, Miss Wizard felt her heart tremble violently several times. She felt that she could no longer breathe at all. The feeling of suffocation only lasted for a while, but it was enough to cause her endless pain.
There was a smile on the snake man’s face, if that could be called a smile, “Okay, two. Now let’s talk about the previous transaction.”
The vines that tied Xing Ze completely dispersed, and Xing Ze jumped up from the ground. He was about to rush towards the snake man, but when he saw the painful Ellie at the snake man’s feet, he couldn’t help but stop.
“What did you do to her?”
“Don’t be too nervous, Xing Ze.” Reese explained in a leisurely manner, “It’s just a little neurotoxin. The toxin erupts every twenty minutes. If she is strong enough, she can survive it.”
“I’ll help you get the Snake Eyes, but I need the antidote.”
“Of course. In addition, our previous deal is still valid. As long as you help me get the Snake Eyes, I can help you return to your original world. I said, Xing Ze, we are a civilized race.”
Xing Ze didn’t say anything more, he just took a deep breath and looked at Ellie on the ground. The eldest lady was also looking at him.
“Okay, don’t be reluctant to leave. The next poison outbreak will only take twenty minutes. Go quickly, Xing Ze.” The snake man said while throwing a leather scroll to Xing Ze.
It quickly explained: “There are ways to open the first secret door, and there are ways to open the second secret door. In addition, I have to remind you that there are other things in the secret room. Keep your voice down and don’t disturb it. ”
Xing Ze knew that Reese was referring to the basilisk. He put the scroll into the ring and turned towards Hogwarts.
Since that time on the train, Xing Ze has not run so fast. That time he was trying to attract the ice demon to save the students who saved the train, but this time he wanted to save Ellie.
Whether he can return to his own world is no longer important. Now he just wants to let Ellie live. Along the way, countless thoughts and ideas flashed through his mind.
Ask Dumbledore for help and do as Rhys said… In the midst of such random thoughts, he came to the main entrance of Hogwarts.
There were still thirteen minutes left before Ellie’s next poison attack. Xing Ze just took a long breath and walked quickly into the academy.
He took out the usable strengthening potions from the ring and poured them into his mouth one after another. School hadn’t started yet, and he only met the janitor Filch along the way.
The two simply greeted each other, and Xing Ze pretended to be calm and pulled up the collar of his magic robe to cover the blood vessels that were blackened due to the intake of too much magic potion.
Not long after, he arrived at the women’s bathroom as the scroll pointed out. He didn’t speak Parseltongue, but Reese had another way to get Xing Ze to open the secret room.
As a spell was completed, a strange hissing sound sounded in the bathroom. Suddenly, the central pool started to move. The pool slowly disappeared from sight, revealing a very thick water pipe that could accommodate a person. People get in.
“I hope the snake has fallen asleep.” Xing Ze muttered and got into the pipe. This pipe has twists and turns, seven twists and turns, and the slope is very steep all the way down, and it is also sticky.
When he landed, Xing Ze’s whole body was covered with black mud, like a drowned dog that had rolled in the mud.
“I really don’t know why Slytherins love sewers so much.”
He stood up, determined the direction, and continued moving forward. After turning one turn after another, Xing Ze finally came to the end. He saw the solid wall, just like in the movie, with two snakes intertwined with each other, and their eyes were set with big rings. , sparkling emerald.
This is the real door to the Chamber of Secrets. Different from the movie, this door not only requires the opening spell of Parseltongue, but also requires contact with the invisible barrier set up by the snake-man Reese.
After suffering Voldemort’s betrayal and losing one of the Serpent’s Eyes, Scicia Reese left an invisible barrier here to ensure that the second Serpent’s Eye would not fall into Voldemort’s hands.
According to the spell given on the scroll, Xing Ze waved his wand, and as the invisible barrier of the spell began to appear, a strange glass-like shield slowly dissipated.
After completing the spell, Xing Ze let out a long breath. Next, he had to rely on the old method to break the last secret door.
Behind the door, Xing Ze knew what he would encounter. Various potions were running rampant in his body. He had to hurry.
As the Parseltongue sounded, the two snakes on the wall separated, and the stone wall cracked from the middle and slowly slid to both sides.
Xing Ze walked in cautiously. He saw the stone pillars of the coiled and entangled snakes, towering to support the ceiling that melted into the darkness above, casting long and strange shadows on the entire room filled with green and mysterious mist.
The whole scene was similar to the movie, but it was not as bright. At the position of the last pair of stone pillars, there stood a statue as tall as the room itself.
The sculpture was old and frail, with a sparse long beard that almost dragged to the hem of the wizard’s robe carved from stone.
Salazar Slytherin. Xing Ze kept repeating the name in his mind. He quickly approached the sculpture and looked up. There was a dark green light emanating from the left eyeball of the sculpture.
The Snake Eye should be there. He cast a floating spell on himself and flew to the left eye of the sculpture.
The green strange gem emitted a dark green light. The light was not strong, but it was unusually attractive. Xing Ze reached out and pinched the gem, and took off the stone without much effort.
But at this moment, something strange happened. The light of the Snake Eye dimmed, as if a venomous snake moved its eyeball. After this change, its light was more dazzling than before, even to the point of being dazzling.
Xing Ze landed quickly, and his hand holding the gem was slowly petrifying, and the blue beak escaped from his arm with a “whoosh”. The petrification speed was getting faster and faster, and soon spread to his forearm.
“Well done, messenger, I didn’t make a mistake.” Reese’s unpleasant voice sounded behind Xing Ze. He moved his fingers, and Ellie, floating in the air, floated towards Xing Ze.
“I expected Tom to tamper with the Snake Eye. Haha, very good, very good, messenger, your sacrifice has brought about the continuation of a race.” The snake man smiled triumphantly.
Xing Ze grabbed the Snake Eye with his other hand and said, “I got what you wanted. Where is the antidote?”
“Ah, about this. I always keep my word, but I have to wait until I get the gem first.” Reese walked slowly towards Xing Ze, muttering something in a low voice as he walked.
The huge stone sculpture face of Slytherin moved. Its mouth opened, getting bigger and bigger, and finally formed a huge black hole. Something was moving in the mouth of the statue, and something was sliding up from the depths of the statue.
The protagonist of the secret room finally appeared. It quickly descended along the statue. Xing Ze could hear the friction sound of snake scales scraping against the wall. The sound was getting closer and closer, and finally stopped behind them.
Then, the ugly snake head stretched out from behind Xing Ze, the mouth full of sharp teeth opened slightly, and a deep red snake tongue went in and out, greedily looking for all living things.
“Good boy, good boy.” Reese reached out and gently stroked the face of the basilisk. “Go, go and watch the door, don’t let anyone in.”
The basilisk hissed and twisted its body towards the door of the secret room.
“You must be wondering why I can come in. Hogwarts has a barrier set up by Dumbledore himself, and things in dreams can’t get in at all.”
Like all high-ranking people, Reese couldn’t escape pride, and he began to brag about his plans and strategies.
“Antidote!” Xing Ze roared, holding the gem tightly in his hand.
“Oh, my dear messenger, don’t be so anxious. The second poison attack has begun. Let’s see if this lady can survive.”
Ellie looked painful. She breathed heavily in order to absorb more oxygen into her body to supply her rapidly beating heart.
The snake man admired all this. He was not in a hurry, nor was he afraid that Xing Ze would attack him. The petrification had spread to his waist. This poor guy didn’t have much time.
“I left the first secret door to deal with Dumbledore’s barrier. Since the day I woke up, I have been studying humans and wizards. Haha, I know you too well. I also know how wizards will deal with it after the first secret room is opened.”
Speaking of this, Reese proudly reached out and took the gem in Xing Ze’s hand. It admired the relics of its ancestors like crazy, with fanaticism in its eyes.
“No matter what, I still have to praise you, Messenger. I didn’t expect you to be able to resist petrification for so long. Let’s see, who will collapse first, or you will become a sculpture first.”
Aili stared at Reese with angry eyes.
Xing Ze lowered his hands and whispered, “It seems that my luck has run out. I’m sorry, dear lady.” He was able to hold on until now entirely because of the power of the potion.
At this moment, Bluebeak, who turned into a raven, appeared out of nowhere. It flew past very quickly and tried to take the gem from the snake man’s hand, but Reese was faster. It dodged sideways and avoided the attack. When it was about to use magic to solve the demon messenger, it failed to lift the wooden stick in its hand.
“My luck is not over yet.” Ai Li growled. She survived the second attack of the poison and made a final resistance with her weak body.
Xing Ze smiled and whispered, “Go, Bluebeak, go!”
The raven turned around and rushed over again. Reese was furious and wanted to kick Ellie away. As soon as it raised its foot, it was pulled by the black tentacles. Xing Ze stretched out his right hand, which had not yet been petrified.
With the cooperation of many people, the blue beak successfully took away the snake eye. With a burst of brilliant green light, the blue beak turned into a black mist and wrapped the gem.
Light, sound, temperature… everything was frozen at this moment, and then it flowed quickly again. Xing Ze felt that everything around him began to distort, whether it was Reese or Ellie.
They seemed to have fallen into a vortex of time and space. Before everything became chaotic, Xing Ze saw Ellie hugging him with all her strength.
“I’ll take you out.” She said.
“No, go, go quickly.” Xing Ze saw that Reese, who was closest to the vortex, had twisted his body, and fear was revealed on the monster’s face.
Then, he saw the blue light that lit up, as clear as the sky. It was the most beautiful light he had ever seen in his life, the light of burning magic.
He saw Ellie’s mouth move, but he could no longer hear anything. Everything was sucked into the dark vortex.
