When he got closer to the figure, Harry's cheeks turned red, feeling ashamed of himself for being overly nervous. In fact, what he saw before was not a living person, but just a lifelike statue.
This is the statue of Salazar Slytherin. However, it is different from the huge, old one in the outer chamber that has reached the last stage of its life and is dying in the wind. The sculpture in front of you is different. It's Salazar Slytherin in his youth.
He sat on the stone seat under him, leaning on the back of the chair, leaning his elbows on the armrests and raising his chin slightly, with a scrutinizing look in his eyes, and a trace of indifference between his sharp eyebrows. Joy.
The eyes of the statue are replaced by black stones. The shining eyes make the sculpture look like a living person. No matter which angle you look at, it seems as if Salazar Slytherin himself is staring. you.
Even Harry had to admit that the exquisitely carved statue in front of him, with even his hair clearly visible, proved that Slytherin's appearance was indeed outstanding, even in his body. Set off by the elegant wizard robes he wore, Slytherin with extraordinary temperament can be called the most elegant
But no matter what, Slytherin has disappeared in the torrent of time, and what is in front of him is No matter how realistic this sculpture is, it is just a piece of stone.
After paying their respects to the founder of Hogwarts, Amosta and Dumbledore quickly walked around the statue and stepped behind the statue to a stone door that was far more magnificent than the castle gate. .
"It seems that this is Slytherin's final secret left in the school"
Amosta looked up at the pitted stone door that exuded the vicissitudes of life, trying to see Where is the top of this door? But when his neck became sore, he still couldn't realize his intention.
Dumbledore, who had seen strong winds and waves, was even more interested in what was hidden behind the door. He walked quickly to the stone door and pressed his long and old hands against the stone wall, as if he wanted to sense something through his special magical perspective. , however, this stone door left by Slytherin isolated everything. Even a powerful wizard like Dumbledore could not sense what was behind the door before the stone door opened.
"Do you think Tom Riddle came here back then?"
Amosta took a few steps back. Since Dumbledore couldn't investigate, he couldn't either. Need to make unnecessary attempts.
"Yes, I think so, Amosta"
Dumbledore moved a few steps, staring intently at a piece of brown on the stone wall with his blue eyes. Madara's place, he said calmly,
"Obviously, he can't open this door either."
"But, isn't this the secret room that Slytherin left to his heir? , since he can open the Chamber of Secrets."
Harry, who tried not to disturb Principal Dumbledore and Professor Brain's research, couldn't help but speak. Although he thought this stone door was very spectacular, it still shocked him. I can’t relate to this melting pot I’m in.compared to the hole.
"Yes, this is indeed very strange"
I don't know why, Dumbledore looked a little worried.
At this time, Harry made a new discovery. He saw that there seemed to be a line of words engraved on the stone wall to the right of the stone door, so he reminded him again.
"Only those with pure blood can open the door."
Amosta read this sentence in a low voice, then curled his lips and smiled, "It seems true. It's Slytherin's style."
"I don't think it's that simple, Amosta, if you don't believe it, we can give it a try."
The light in Dumbledore's eyes. After shaking for a while, he rolled up his sleeve, exposing his left arm.
"Principal Dumbledore"
Harry immediately understood what Dumbledore was going to do. He hurriedly stepped forward and also exposed his arms, "You can Use mine."
"Oh, thanks," Dumbledore smiled kindly, "but according to Slytherin, I think out of the three people here, I am the only one who meets the requirements."
p>A silver light flashed in the air, Dumbledore's arm spurted out a bright red, and the rough stone door was suddenly covered with dark red and shiny blood drops. Under the influence of mysterious magic, these The blood droplets did not drip to the ground, but quickly rolled towards the almost thin and undetectable stone crack in the center of the stone door.
Huh
After swallowing Dumbledore’s blood, a stream of light blue smoke spurted out from the slender door crack, and then fell into complete silence again.
Harry seemed a little unable to accept this result, but Dumbledore and Amosta looked calm.
"Why do you think this is the result, Principal Dumbledore."
Amosta asked, but judging from his expression, he should be thinking: There is an answer.
"We can only rely on speculation."
Dumbledore glanced at Harry and considered his words, "What Slytherin thinks of blood purity is probably somewhat different from what we understand. By deviation, he probably meant his own descendants."
"But Voldemort failed."
Harry said immediately, "The diary told me that Voldemort is a descendant of Slytherin. But he"
Harry understood, and Tom Riddle told him that the Slytherin blood in his body was passed down to him through his mother, and his father was a Muggle.
The three people in front of the stone door fell into a long silence. Harry couldn't accept that both Principal Dumbledore and Professor Braine had nothing to do with the stone door, because it meant that this rare adventure was announced. Failure, unless they can find someone like Voldemort's cousins
The following conversation between Principal Dumbledore and Professor Braine, Harry knew that it might involve some serious secrets, but unfortunately Unfortunately, he didn't understand a word of it.
Amosta rubbed his hair in distress and looked atTo Dumbledore,
"Do you think it's possible?"
"Hard to say, Amostar,"
Dumbledore obviously understood In response to Amosta's confusing question, he frowned and replied, "But I think it is only a theoretical possibility, because he is physically and mentally weak." Impossible"
Dumbledore turned around and stared deeply at the statue of Slytherin sitting there, sighing deeply,
"From the bottom of my heart, I hope there won’t be a day when we have to face a situation where we have to open this stone door. But if that situation does arise, oh, that may be the most difficult thing I will encounter in the rest of my life."
< p>Many troubles were ended this night, and many more troubles were laid, which will be detonated one day in the future.Harry was ordered by Dumbledore to go to the school hospital to be examined by Madam Pomfrey. Even though he repeatedly emphasized that he was not seriously injured at all, Dumbledore still insisted on his opinion.
"I know you have many doubts in your heart, Harry, but now is not a good time to chat. When you have experienced sufficient rest, you can come to my office and chat with me."
p>"But the Board of Directors"
Harry stood in the hall and looked at Dumbledore in surprise, "You have solved the problem"
"Oh, of course. "
Dumbledore looked at Harry gently and smiled lightly, "In fact, I was reminded of what Lucius Malfoy was secretly planning very early. I guess, when Tomorrow morning, after Lucius finds out that I am still the Headmaster of Hogwarts, he will probably come to me angrily to argue with me."
Harry ran all the way upstairs, seeming to be worried about going to the school hospital. He was no longer so resistant, because he suddenly remembered that Ron and Hermione were also in the school hospital, and he couldn't wait to share with them what happened tonight.
"I'm sorry, Amosta, I know you need to rest now"
Dumbledore looked at Amosta with an apologetic look,
"But can I trouble you to chat with me, an old man who doesn't need much sleep?"
Amosta's heart trembled slightly. He knew that the real trouble was about to come. Please remember to bookmark, website The latest and fastest free reading without anti-theft
