Take control of thunder and lightning from Hogwarts

Chapter 755 Chamber of Secrets
Anduin found that the ghosts in the ring were more difficult to 'fiddle with' than the previously resurrected Voldemort's soul.

Because after the object is made into a Horcrux, it is equivalent to adding a layer of protection to the soul, and because it is only a part of the soul, and there is no more specific consciousness to control it.

The internal memory fragments are obviously missing, and at the same time appear very messy.

Fortunately, Anduin has enough patience and superb thinking exploration skills. In order to help the Longbottom couple heal, he did experiments with other people's brains and souls. Now this skill comes in handy.

In the next few days, while dealing with the affairs of Diagon Alley and Hogwarts, Anduin took time to explore this Horcrux bit by bit, but gradually gained a lot of useful information.

However, it seems that when making this Horcrux, Voldemort has been able to actively split the soul relatively proficiently.

Voldemort only implanted the memories of the past two years before making the Horcrux, but the amount of information in these two years of memory is surprisingly large.

First of all, it is certain that this ring should be the second Horcrux made by Voldemort. It was made in August 1943, when Voldemort, who was in the fifth grade, Tom Riddle, split his soul by killing his own father. , and subsequently made this Horcrux.

And two months before that, Voldemort had just made his first Horcrux, and Anduin could roughly see that it was a notebook with a simple shape.

Even more astonishing, though, is what happened while making this Horcrux!
Voldemort actually made the Horcrux by commanding the basilisk to kill Myrtle in the girls' bathroom on the second floor of Hogwarts Castle.

During this period, Voldemort even blamed this incident on Hagrid, who was only in the third grade, causing him to be expelled from school and have his wand broken. Later, because of Dumbledore's pity, he got the position of a key keeper Stay at Hogwarts.

"So Hagrid was expelled for this reason back then? This honest guy really deserved it... Besides, that unlucky Myrtle is simply a disaster for no reason."

Regarding Hagrid's past, although Anduin also knew some from him, but because of his relationship with Hagrid, he never asked the bottom line. He didn't expect that Voldemort was involved.

"And there is actually a basilisk in Hogwarts, and based on its size, it has survived for hundreds or even thousands of years. Didn't the professors in the school find it? This is too outrageous, isn't it? And what the hell is that so-called secret room?"

Anduin laughed at himself. He realized that his understanding of Hogwarts was still too shallow. There was such a dangerous creature under this castle.

However, because the memories he could see were scattered and fuzzy, Anduin didn't figure out how to open the secret chamber and summon the basilisk.

But it doesn't bother him!

After pondering for a while, Anduin immediately got up and returned to Hogwarts. He is not the kind of mother-in-law. It is not in his character not to ask the bottom line after discovering the secret.

As soon as he returned to Hogwarts, he rushed to the bathroom on the second floor of the main castle, and then looked up and down at the circular magic pool in the center.

Anduin was no stranger to this bathroom. Back then, he was here to torture the clues of the Lestrange family from a group of young wizards.

And in Voldemort's memory, the other party summoned the basilisk from this magic pool, but the spell Voldemort used seems to be Parseltongue, and Anduin himself not only does not know it, but it is also difficult to base it on those fragmentary facts. The memory fragment restores it.

But Anduin had a simpler and more brutal method at this time. I saw him approaching the pool, and then stretched out a hand and slowly pressed it against the wall.

Immediately afterwards, Anduin was seen submerged in the huge stone pillar that wrapped the sink.

The 'Shuttle Curse' or 'Earth Walking Curse' has an unparalleled advantage in this kind of cross-terrain exploration. At least it allows Anduin not to use brutal means to shatter the bathroom.

After passing through the wall of the washbasin, Anduin quickly entered a thick, deep tunnel that slanted downwards and led directly to the ground.

Just in case, Anduin took out his flying cloak and put it on beforehand, then threw out a magic lamp in the shape of a golden snitch, and walked slowly along the tunnel.

The stone tunnel is very long, turning one after another, the bones of small animals are everywhere on the ground, and there is also a huge snake skin shed by a basilisk.

Following this pipeline, Anduin, who was floating in mid-air, went down for a few minutes, and Anduin finally came to the end.

It was a solid stone wall, and on it were carved two intertwined snakes, with large, shining emeralds in their eyes.

After discovering the wall, Anduin immediately prepared to repeat the trick, using the Shuttle Charm to cross it, but when he cast the spell, he was blocked.

After Anduin's inspection, he found that the wall was cast with a powerful protective magic, and it was almost impossible to pass through it in a tricky way.

"Hmm... the protective magic here is quite simple and crude, and it seems to be connected to the magic source of Hogwarts." Anduin rubbed the wall and analyzed, "It seems that there is only violence to get through here. There are two ways to crack and get the corresponding password,"

"But direct violent destruction is tantamount to confronting the magic power that Hogwarts has stored for thousands of years. Even if it is really destroyed, it may affect the operation of the castle's magic circle."

"This road won't work. If it really breaks this, Dumbledore will have to fight with me? But if you want to use technical means to crack it, you have to find a way to get the blueprint of the magic circle here, or even the entire Hogg Watts' magic circle blueprint is the only way, otherwise even I can't do it, and open it while ensuring that the magic circle is not damaged."

"The guy who built this secret room is really amazing. It actually makes me feel a little helpless. Could it be that Salazar Slytherin really made this place?"

"Superb craftsmanship, coupled with the main magic circle that can connect to Hogwarts, it seems that apart from him, there is no other answer."

After a little thought, Anduin came to the conclusion that this place was probably built by the ancestor of Slytherin, and if he wants to go to the other side of the wall, he must have the corresponding breaking spell.

This is not to say that Anduin has no other way to pass here, but using other means will more or less cause damage to the magic pipeline here.

And this place is integrated with Hogwarts, destroying this place also means destroying the school's guardian circle.

At the same time, because Hogwarts has a long history, so long that it is close to disrepair, and the magic pipelines in the school have been continuously updated and remodeled for so many years, so they can only be described as intricate.

In the absence of a complete blueprint, Anduin was really not sure how to fix it after it was broken. If he accidentally broke Hogwarts, it would be troublesome.

Thinking of this, Anduin could only shake his head helplessly. It seems that it is not the time to explore the secret room yet, and it seems that finding the correct way to open it will be easier than entering through technical means.

At the beginning, Voldemort opened the bathroom entrance through Parseltongue and commanded the basilisk to kill Myrtle, so logically speaking, the way to open this wall should also be related to Parseltongue.

"I didn't expect to have to learn another language specifically at this age."

Anduin laughed at himself, then took out a few monitors from his body and deployed them around the stone wall, then carefully backed out.

For this place, he can only monitor it first, and then enter after finding a way in the future.

In the few days after the end of the exploration of the Chamber of Secrets, Anduin began to search for materials related to the Chamber of Secrets and Parseltongue in Hogwarts and his own library.

However, as an extremely rare minority language, Parseltongue is a very rare ability, usually hereditary, and almost all Parseltongues are descendants of Salazar Slytherin.

According to the data, the Gaunt family is the known direct descendant of Slytherin that can be traced back. It is no wonder that Voldemort was able to open the Chamber of Secrets.

But apart from these fragmentary records, Anduin couldn't find any other people or things related to Parseltongue, and he didn't even know anyone in this world who knew this language.

Seeing that he couldn't find a clue from the information, Anduin could only find a way to find someone for help, and the first person he sought was his headmaster, Dumbledore.

"Parseltongue? Why are you suddenly interested in it?"

In the principal's office, Dumbledore picked up a sugar bowl in front of him, picked up a pile of cockroaches shaking its legs, threw it into his mouth and chewed it happily, and then asked Anduin curiously.

"Uh... just out of academic curiosity. It is said that Voldemort can speak Parseltongue. I want to know more about this enemy."

Anduin felt awkward watching Dumbledore swallowing the headless cockroach. He really couldn't understand why someone would make the snack into such a disgusting shape.

At the same time, he is not ready to explain to Dumbledore about Voldemort's Horcrux. If possible, Anduin hopes to solve this trouble silently.

"Voldemort... It seems that you don't think he died so easily." Dumbledore nodded knowingly, he just thought he understood Anduin's thoughts.

Then Dumbledore revealed an amazing secret to Anduin, "Actually, I also have some research on Parseltongue, but I can only understand Parseltongue, but I can't speak it."

"Oh?" Anduin was very surprised when he heard the words, "Can you understand Parseltongue? Are you also of Slytherin blood?"

"That's not true." Dumbledore shook his head with a smile. "It's just that when I was young, my strong interest in various languages ​​drove me to learn more extracurricular knowledge. In fact, I can also speak mermaid language and goblins." Language, but Parseltongue is indeed a very difficult ability to master, even though I spent a lot of energy on it back then, it can only be understood by me."

Anduin nodded when he heard the words. He didn't realize that his old headmaster knew so many things before. If he remembered correctly, Dumbledore was also a master of spells, transfiguration and alchemy.

Compared with what he wanted, Anduin suddenly felt that he still had a lot of room for improvement.

"Then which teacher did you learn Parseltongue from? Can you recommend it to me?" Anduin asked after sighing.

"I'm afraid I can't help you here. The one who taught me Parseltongue was a spell master from Egypt. It is said that he has the blood of the despicable Hypor. Unfortunately, the other party is no longer alive. gone."

Dumbledore shook his head regretfully, "The old professor has been discriminated against because of Parseltongue all his life, and the wizarding community still generally believes that people who can speak Parseltongue are evil incarnations, but as far as I know, he Although he has the blood of Hypor, he is indeed a man of high morals."

"That's a pity."

Anduin sighed when he heard the words, and he didn't know whether he was sorry for the professor, or if he lost the opportunity to learn Parseltongue.

However, although there is no channel to learn Parseltongue, Anduin is not particularly sad. Anyway, the secret room has always been there, and there are opportunities to explore.

After temporarily pressing the matter of the Chamber of Secrets and Parseltongue, Anduin took out a diamond-shaped stone from his arms and showed it to Dumbledore, "Principal, do you know this thing?"

"Huh?" Dumbledore pushed his half-moon glasses, carefully looked at the small stone held by Anduin's fingertips for a while, and couldn't help but widen his eyes, "This...is it...death? The Hallows Resurrection Stone?"

"That's right." Anduin admired Dumbledore's good eyesight. "I got this resurrection stone by accident. I think you might be interested in it."

After finishing speaking, Anduin gently pushed the Resurrection Stone in Dumbledore's direction, and the diamond-shaped stone floated to the desk as if it had no weight.

"Resurrection Stone..." Dumbledore muttered softly, looking at the stone in front of him, with excitement and emotion in his eyes.

The old man took the resurrection stone with some trepidation, and then Anduin saw a handsome young girl appearing not far from him, looking at Dumbledore with a smile.

"Arianna..." Dumbledore murmured a name in a trembling voice, and looked at the other party with a hint of longing and pain.

After muttering to himself for a while, Dumbledore involuntarily stretched out his hand in the direction of Ariana, but although the girl beside him was close at hand, she seemed as far away as a world away.

"Principal, I have confirmed that this is not an entity, it is just a fantasy between substance and soul."

Although he didn't want to interrupt Dumbledore at this time, Anduin, who was afraid that the other party would get deeper and deeper, couldn't help reminding him.
