Dumbledore and Amostar reached a consensus, and they were ready to explore the huge hole in Slytherin's face. However, the two had some differences regarding Harry's stay.
Dumbledore seems to think that something worthy of Salazar Slytherin, one of the great Creation Four, to use a basilisk to guard must not be a simple thing. There may be unimaginable dangers in the cave, Harry He is just an underage wizard who does not yet have the ability to deal with unknown dangers.
"No one is born with the ability to face everything calmly, Headmaster Dumbledore,"
Amosta glanced at Harry, who was a little downcast, and said meaningfully,
"If you want young people to grow up as quickly as possible, you must give them more opportunities to experience--"
In the end, Principal Dumbledore followed Amosta's reasonable advice.
"You have to promise me,"
Dumbledore looked at Harry solemnly and said, "If you encounter danger later, and Professor Brain and I give you instructions to escape, will you obey our orders?"
"I promise, Headmaster Dumbledore!"
Although Dumbledore's words hurt Harry's self-esteem a little, when he thought that he could go on an unknown adventure with two powerful wizards, Harry felt as light as flying, and he felt it from the bottom of his heart. He also didn't believe that with Principal Dumbledore and Professor Brain standing in front of him, there was any danger that could harm his life.
"Even if ten Voldemorts appear together, we can't do it!"
When Dumbledore and Amostar stepped onto the stairs, Harry secretly grinned and thought, although it must be very late now, and although he has experienced a legendary battle tonight, Harry His spirit was still extremely high, but his excitement only lasted until he stepped from the stairs into the entrance of the cave and ended completely.
The tunnel at the entrance of the cave was not as winding and long as they imagined. However, the white bones of various animals spread on the ground were twice as long as the stone tunnel after coming down from the tube. Once you step down, you can I could clearly hear the sound of various weathered bones breaking into slag.
The further they walked, the stronger the smell of blood in the air became. The smell of blood also came from the white bones on the ground. Harry had already seen many rats with gray scalps stained with blood attached to their skulls, as well as piles of bones that looked like hills. Spider-like hairy legs.
"well--"
For some reason, Dumbledore let out a heavy sigh. However, facing Amosta's probing gaze, he just shook his head and said nothing more.
The three of them walked around a corner and followed the path cleared by the basilisk for less than half a mile. Then, the scene in the tunnel gradually changed.
Golden torches spaced thirty feet apart were distributed on the left and right walls of the tunnel. The steady heat they emitted scorched the damp stone walls and dried the ground.
The air became fresher, there were no more bones on the ground, and it was even so clean that no dust or cobwebs could be seen. Harry even felt that this place was comparable to the corridors in the castle maintained by Filch.
"Tsk tsk--"
Amosta stood in front of a torch and stared at the swaying flames, admiring sincerely, "Gubla Fairy Fire...Luxurious Slytherin..."
Harry breathed a sigh of relief after finally escaping from the sea of bones, and then heard Professor Braine's slightly awed admiration. He looked at Dumbledore, hoping to get an explanation.
"The Immortal Fire of Gubulai is the eternal fire, very precious because it will never go out--"
Dumbledore looked at the incomprehensible number of torches with admiration and said gently, "It takes a lot of magic to create this kind of fairy fire. As far as I know, no one has been able to create such a large amount of eternal flame in one go. "
Harry gasped, finally understanding the value of these bronze torches, but at the same time, he was a little unhappy because he heard something about Slater from the tone of Principal Dumbledore and Professor Blaine. Lin's compliment.
As the founder of the house that Harry hated the most among the four houses, and at the same time, the Chamber of Secrets left behind caused him so much trouble this year, it is impossible for Harry to have much affection for Salazar Slytherin. .
"Maybe Gryffindor is better -" Harry muttered under his breath.
The firelight dyed Dumbledore's silver eyebrows and beard red. Hearing Harry's dissatisfied complaints, he laughed. He extinguished the fluorescence of his wand, stood in front of everyone and walked forward first.
The tunnel became more and more spacious, and at the end of the line of sight was a steady and bright light. Amosta's expression was solemn, he clenched his wand and strode forward to follow.
As they gradually get closer, the deepest secret hidden in this secret room buried deep in the ground is finally revealed!
This is a huge cave, about the size of three or four Quidditch pitches. The top of the cave is more than 300 feet high. Among the rows of stalactites, many rough and huge round rocks are suddenly revealed. The stone pillars arranged in a certain order are similar in color to Hogwarts Castle. They seem to be load-bearing pillars supporting the entire castle!
"too crazy..."
The wind howls in the air, and the mysterious sound is like history singing the praises of the years.
Amosta looked around the walls of the huge cave, and the living torches of Gubrasian placed at regular intervals murmured in shock. Those torches emitting constant light illuminated the entire cave like daylight. While it is transparent, the powerful magical magnetic field radiated also resists all positioning spells.
"It's hard to imagine how powerful Slytherin himself is in terms of magic power, which allows him to squander it so much... No wonder that basilisk can survive for thousands of years. In such a rich magic environment, I'm afraid any creature can possess more than what it originally was. A life of thirty to fifty years..."
Harry, who had no real understanding of the difficulty of making Gubler's fairy fire, could not understand Professor Brain's shock. However, the cave in front of him, filled with strange stone cones and stalactites, was filled with desolation soaked in time. And the magnificence still left him speechless.
"Yes, the great Slytherin--"
Dumbledore was equally surprised by the scene in front of him and expressed similar emotions,
"However, I am more curious about Salazar Slytherin's purpose in establishing this Chamber of Secrets."
Amosta withdrew his gaze and nodded. He turned around and looked at Harry, who was intoxicated with the uncanny sight, and issued a warning.
"Now it seems that the things hidden in this secret room may be shocking. Potter, remember to stay vigilant."
Harry nodded, but his curious eyes were still darting around.
He looked at the deep ravines on the undulating ground and stared at the dark stone cones. Suddenly, Harry looked stunned. He widened his eyes and looked in a certain direction. When he confirmed what he was looking for, After seeing what he saw, Harry's face suddenly turned pale and he screamed in shock,
"Headmaster Dumbledore, Professor Brain, there's a man over there!"
