Ani has passed the age of a naughty child and has no interest in things like tube slides.
Even if there was some interest before, after seeing the sticky wall of the tube, I instantly lost the intention to try.
After clicking on the girl, Aini's body, which was already over 180, suddenly collapsed and transformed into a palm-sized bird, which entered the pipe in a flash.
The pipe was winding and turned dark after a few turns. Fortunately, Ani opened the Eye of True Seeing in time, otherwise he would have hit the dirty pipe wall.
Even though the smell inside is not very big, the sewer is a sewer, don't expect it to be very clean, at least he doesn't want to touch those messy things.
Following the green magic veins all the way down, Aini flew carefully for more than ten minutes. The twisted pipe in front became smooth, and there was a faint whine of air flowing through the holes.
"Fluorescence!"
The little bird still hovering in the air uttered a spell. Even though Ani could see in the dark, he still preferred the perspective of the light.
Under the luminous spell that was fully activated, a light that was not strong but had a wide range lit up, dispelling the darkness that had lingered in the underground space for an unknown length of time.
"Clean up!"
Aini cleared a clean ground under his feet, then recovered his body and landed firmly on the ground.
What you can see is a long corridor made of granite, which is very common in the Scottish Highlands. There is no trace of artificial carving on the smooth and thick surface. It can be seen that the layout is upright and the pores are arranged in an orderly manner at the top. But it also shows that it is not natural, and people have to lament the power of magic.
Ani moved forward, waving his wand. Thanks to the ingeniously constructed air holes, even if there have been few visitors for thousands of years, this underground corridor does not seem stuffy, but it is inevitably a bit mouldy.
However, as he walked along, all the moss marks and debris in the corridor disappeared, restoring the original appearance when it was first built.
Although you have to go through the sewer pipe to enter, there is no sewage here. When you came, Aini found that the pipe had been rising several times. Now I think it was to prevent sewage from flowing down.
Therefore, most of the stains on the ground are composed of dust, moss and a small amount of animal feces. Others are just the bones of small animals. They have been cleaned and the smell is not very strong.
By the time Aini turned a few corners and reached the stone wall at the end, the corridor had been swept clean. In his sight, various magic patterns surrounded the magic veins, emitting a faint green light, bringing with it a faint green light. An unspeakable temptation.
want to see……
Ani looked back with nostalgia. If Hermione hadn't been waiting above, he would have almost given up exploring and stayed here to analyze the runes.
The stone walls are carved with exquisite patterns, and the style is completely different from that of the corridor. Two lifelike little snakes are intertwined, and their eyes made of emeralds are vividly looking at the way they came, as if they are waiting for their owners.
"What an exquisite golem."
Ani admired, and suddenly the image of Harry standing in front of the door appeared in his mind.
If you are not careful, great wizards like Minerva and Filius may fall into the trap of these two little snakes. Harry actually just regarded them as decorations, but he didn't know that if there was an error in the verification, Any one of them being activated would be enough to take him away.
Tenacity, magic, self-healing, stealth, mental poison...
They are also alchemical creations, and the runes appearing on the two little snakes are enough to make those big Minerva babies on the ground cry!
Aini stretched out his hand towards the rune representing "switch" and forced the door open like he did in the bathroom.
But when his fingers touched the halo emanating from the runes, his heart palpitated suddenly, and he unconsciously focused his gaze on a blurry field in the second row.
Although due to his insufficient rank, his current Eye of True Seeing is not enough to reveal the deeper runes, but his spiritual sense, which usually has a low sense of presence, frantically warned at this time, immediately giving up Aini's idea of testing.
Just kidding, he's not a tough guy, he didn't fight
The habit of spinning children to seek death.
But Aini didn't have a headache, but he had a headache.
Without him, the supply of magic power swallowed up behind the stone wall is too much.
You must know that Hogwarts occupies the largest magic node in the UK, and Slytherin has the largest share, almost two-thirds.
According to the observation of the Eye of True Sight, the magic flowing into the stone wall accounts for at least half of Slytherin's share.
Even though Aini's magic power far exceeds that of his peers, and is even considered the top batch among adult wizards, it is still far from being comparable to 10% of the total amount of large magic nodes.
Now he probably knows why his spiritual sense gave him a crazy warning just now - if the protective barrier on the stone wall does not exist independently, but is just part of the large barrier in the secret room, too much magic power is needed to change the way it operates.
I'm afraid that as soon as Aini plucked his finger, the magic power in his body would be completely drained, and then his life and soul would be consumed.
Thinking of this, a layer of fine beads of sweat broke out on his forehead. During this period of time, his potential has been advanced, and things have been smooth sailing, and he feels a little drifting.
This experience is undoubtedly a lesson. With his current situation, he doesn't need to be too strict, but he can't be too reckless either.
Ani looked at the stone wall in front of him and the corridor behind him. No matter in terms of material, architectural style or arrangement of magic patterns, there was a huge difference between the two. It was obvious that they were not made by one person.
Although the layout of the corridor is sophisticated, it is still lacking in the depiction of magic patterns, and the decoration of the walls and ceiling also reveals a strong Tudor style.
According to school history, there was once a descendant of the Gaunt family who repaired the sewer system of Hogwarts. It seems that the entrance to the bathroom, the long water pipe and the corridor connecting the secret room were all his work.
Whether it is the arrangement of magic patterns, alchemical techniques or surface decoration on the stone wall, it is perfect in Aini's opinion. At least with his current level of magic, he cannot think of any way to optimize it.
If the level of the Gaunt family is considered to be at a higher level among amateurs, then the author of Stonewall is at the top level among professionals. Considering the age of the exquisite decorations on the walls, Aini believes that these were written by Slytherin himself. .
That was one of the greatest wizards at that time!
And the place in front of us is probably the inheritance he left behind. It is very distressing to see it but not be able to enter!
but……
Aini turned around and walked back, carefully observing the magic veins in the corridor along the way.
It was difficult for him to change Slytherin's design, but this Gaunt family...
Although Slytherin's reserved handwriting almost made Aini miserable, who made him a tolerant and kind-hearted person?
I almost suffered a loss, so I'd better not let little Tom come here, and let him help design a less dangerous secret room. I hope that when a certain remnant soul walks out of the notebook, he will like this gift of mine.
Looking forward to meeting you this time, Mr. Tom Marvolo Riddle.
