Tom has to be careful.The Chamber of Secrets of Slytherin, the heir of Slytherin, isn't the Gaunt family left after all?This has something to do with the resurrection stone again.It's hard to say whether Wendy has been taken care of, but Tom must be.

Wendy doesn't plan to get involved in the Chamber of Secrets.There is no resurrection stone in the secret room, and there is no missing student, only a reptile that has been sleeping for thousands of years.But on the other hand, she didn't intend to stop Tom, maybe she could catch the eyeliner in the process of finding the secret room.How can you get tiger cubs if you don't enter the tiger's lair?

"There are people hanging around the door every day." Alphard complained in the common room seemingly unintentionally.

Immediately, the little wizards of Slytherin enthusiastically participated in this topic.

"They think the entrance to the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets is here."

"Come on, Miss Black organized people to search the lounge several times. Nothing was found."

"Maybe it's just that I didn't find the right way to open it... For example, I need to knock a few times and turn clockwise three times to say a spell."

"Malfoy knocked around with his wand every day, didn't he find nothing?"

"Oh? Malfoy?" Tom glanced at Abraxas, who had been ignored by him for a long time, and there was a suspicious blush on the latter's fair face.

"I... I... Don't you all care? If the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets is found by other houses, we will lose all face!"

Alphard raised one corner of his mouth: "I didn't expect Abramovich to have such a sense of collective honor."

Abraxas pursed his lips, his eyes moved back and forth between Alphard and Tom.

"He usually retorts violently," said Master Black, leaning into Tom's ear.

Tom thought for a moment. "'Don't call me Abu!'?"

"Yeah." Alphard nodded.Tsundere doesn't blow hair, there must be something wrong with it. "I got very close to Abu before I went to school. It can't be said that we were very close, that is, among the pure-blood boys of the same age, there is no more fun than Abu."

You can bully him vigorously, he has been black since he was a child.Tom slandered his little friend while listening to him continue.

"Later, the Malfoys passed away for some reason, and Abu was in a bit of a difficult situation. He probably wanted to stand out on his own, but, heh, he was suddenly overwhelmed by someone."

Tom rubbed his chin: "I saw him jumping around with your sister in the first grade. In the second grade, his sense of existence became less and less."

"To be precise, after being beaten up by you, you became honest. Not to mention anything else in the Malfoy family, the ability to observe words, colors and current affairs is innate."

"A beating?"

"Mr. Riddle's great feat of one against ten, unfortunately no one remembers it."

Tom thought for a moment, and his eyes collided with Abraxas who was ten meters away.Abraxas was startled, and quickly looked away.

"This guy."

Late at night, three o'clock.

Tom stood in the empty common room in his black school robes.There was no fire, no wall lamps, and it was almost impossible to see in the dark.Because the moon has set tonight, even the water light outside the window has disappeared completely.

"Don't you want a light?" Alphard unbuttoned the wrong button for a long time in the dark.

Tom sighed: "Stalking is so aboveboard?"

Alphard didn't answer but asked instead: "Surely the heir of Slytherin has a clue?"

Tom: "..."

"Wendy made it clear that she would not get involved in this matter because she knew you had a clue?"

"..."

"I thought we were friends."

"...Okay, I didn't tell you not to follow. Guess what the clue is?"

"The Chamber of Secrets will be found by the heirs of Slytherin. How does it identify the heirs of Slytherin? Is there anything special about the descendants of Slytherin? The answer is, snake language." Alphard blinked frequently to adapt to the darkness, Trying to distinguish the snake-like sculptures around, "I guess, you can open a certain mechanism with snake language."

"The dungeon's history as a Slytherin house common room dates back to the time of the Big Four, and Salazar wasn't sure that his descendants would be assigned to a certain bedroom, so it's doubtful that the idea of ​​a common room is correct. ’” Tom took Alphard by the wrist and dragged him to the fireplace. "I found out about this place when I was in first year. Just to be forewarned, I didn't find the Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets."

The inner side of the marble above the fireplace is engraved with some symbols composed of circles, wavy lines and letters, and the unevenness can be clearly felt with fingers.

Even though he lowered his voice, Tom's words were still so clear in the silence that it was worrying to be discovered: "There is no ashes in this place. It's amazing. There is a place inside a fireplace that has been burning for thousands of years without ash at all. Obviously In order to preserve the information on it, someone put a protective spell on it."

"What is engraved on it?"

"Old English 'great wizard Slytherin, give me firelight'."

"Is this the spell to activate?"

The two little wizards got into the fireplace and looked a little crowded.

"The circles and wavy lines between those letters are the spell." Tom said, "Without Wendy, I would probably have taken a long detour. I once saw her record Parseltongue with dots and short lines. It was just her. Self-invented way of recording. But if there ever was a written language of Parsel, it would probably look something like that. It's the same sentence written in both Old English and Parsel."

"I understand, the channel will only be opened if the words 'Great wizard Slytherin, please give me firelight' are spoken in Parseltongue."

Tom made a "hiss" sound from his mouth, which was very short and finished in less than three seconds.Immediately afterwards, a green flame appeared with a "poof", swallowing the figures of the two little wizards in the fireplace.

Alphard was taken aback, but the flames disappeared before he could react.What appeared in front of me was a corridor with wall lights on.The serpentine sconces are beautifully crafted and lifelike, with tiny emeralds in their eyes, in the style of the Slytherin common room.

"This is much better than the Floo powder." Alphard admired, "I don't feel uncomfortable at all. Is this the secret room if you walk along this road?"

Tom shook his head: "Look carefully."

Alphard took two steps forward, only to see that the corridor extended less than 20 meters and then stopped.Gravel, sand and broken sculptures cut off the passage in a very rough way.The remains of the wall lamp that was destroyed at the fracture lay in front of the pile of sand and stones.

Tom sat down on the plinth of a missing sculpture very skillfully, and said plainly: "Maybe this can indeed lead to the Slytherin's secret room in the beginning, but in a long time, the descendants of a certain generation of Slytherin, or they The enemy blocked this passage for some reason."

Alphard did not give up, and used his wand to cast several spells on the sand and stones blocking the way.

"It's useless. Very powerful magic. The floor, ceiling, and walls are all broken, and the passages at the back should all be destroyed. Besides, if the outer wall is pierced, the water of the Black Lake will pour in and drown us all."

The young master of the Black family gave up struggling, put away his wand, and buttoned the button by the light. "Did you find anything here?"

"Two black magic notebooks—"

"Cough cough!"

"And a map."

Tom got up and went to the fireplace from which they had come.This fireplace is exactly the same as the one in the common room, the only difference is that on the wall above the fireplace, instead of hanging emblems or oil paintings, there is a rough map.

"I suspect that the huge room at the bottom of the map is Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets." Tom said, "If it's true, besides the entrance to the Slytherin common room, there are two entrances drawn with dotted lines."

Alphard narrowed his eyes.His eyesight is much better than that of ordinary people, but it is still difficult to read this map.There was a battle in this place, and the protective magic of the map was damaged. It is the blessing of the ancestors to be able to see the general appearance after thousands of years.

According to the map, both sets of passages lead to a huge room.One set was straight, depicted in solid lines, with the words "Common Room" intact and the shape of flames at the entrance, where they entered.The other group of passages depicted with dotted lines are much more complicated, twisted and intersected like a huge network, and has two entrances, but the letters on the side are already blurred.

"Have you found anything?"

"Hmm." Alphard mused, "The common room is lower than the other two entrances."

Tom couldn't laugh or cry: "It's obvious."

"The Chamber of Secrets is lower than all entrances."

"Forehead……"

"This passage is downward." Alphard took out a glass ball and placed it on the ground. The ball slid towards the depths of the passage until it hit a pile of sand and sand.

The secret room is lower than the entrance in the picture, so the passage is downward in reality.

The expression on Tom's face became serious: "You mean, this map is not the traditional up north down south left west right east, but up and down vertical map?"

Alphard blinked innocently.

"Good idea, then I can say that the height of each wall brick is one floor. It is exactly ten floors from the common room to the highest point, which is very suitable for the height of the castle."

"The chamber of secrets is on the sixth basement, the common room is on the second basement, the dotted entrance marked with a tree shape is on the ground, and the dotted entrance marked with a fountain mark is on the third floor of the castle. Well... it sounds like you're looking for a fountain on the third floor Much easier than finding a tree on the ground."

"Mr. Alphard Black, I must say you are an excellent companion—"

"Huh? Did you just find out?"

"—a bit worse than Wendy."

"Oh." Alphard looked indifferent like a single dog.

The author has something to say:

--

There are three entrances to the Chamber of Secrets that are private.Because the sewer in the bathroom on the third floor is for the basilisk, it is really unfriendly to humans.I set up a passage that was originally used by one person, but it was abandoned.Since there are already two entrances, and there are too many lice to worry about, I added another one, and the clever little angel should be able to guess that it is in the Forbidden Forest.

Well, see our petrifyingly beautiful basilisk girl in the next chapter.

A little angel asked before, "How did Wendy deduce that 'Greg' is Grindelwald?" This question, Wendy will have a reasoning when she meets Grindelwald after the war.But I am afraid that you will abandon the article before that time, so I will briefly say it.

When Tom asked Weasley to bring a Damascus rose, he mentioned that Grindelwald's administration made it difficult to buy goods from mainland Europe in England.The war almost cut off the foreign trade of the British wizarding world, so the "Green Ball", a shop with goods from all over the world, is very eye-catching.It can sell products from all continents, especially Europe, most likely because it has a saint background.And then there's the stuff that "Greg" himself shows...
