Chapter 415 Entrance to the Chamber of Secrets
Rove followed Hufflepuff's advice and didn't go to the Ravenclaw Tower, not because he didn't want to, but because he didn't dare... for fear of being broken by Ravenclaw.
He didn't go to the Hufflepuff common room either, and just slept in the Room of Requirement for the night.
The next day, Rove went to the kitchen to have breakfast, and hurried to the spell classroom.
After seeing the boy appear, the room that was noisy just now fell silent instantly, and everyone looked up at him.
After a night of investigation, everyone has basically confirmed that he is not a Hogwarts student.
Because... none of the students from the four colleges knew him.
But the students were whispering that he was the son of Salazar Slytherin.
Otherwise, how could this mysterious boy know Parseltongue, and how could he have such amazing strength?
It must have been taught by Slytherin himself!
Whoever said he wasn't the son of Slytherin, Lestrange who was beaten and hospitalized was the first to say no...
So, is that man who hasn't returned from school for many years finally coming back?
The Slytherin students were very excited. After seeing Rove, they wanted to ask him about Slytherin.
But after the boy entered the classroom, he squinted his eyes, looked around, and walked straight to Cassandra who was sitting in the last row under the eyes of everyone.
Cassandra was eating bread when she noticed that everyone was looking at her, and many witches showed jealous eyes.
It was the first time for Cassandra to be watched by so many eyes. She choked and hiccupped twice, then quickly puffed up her chest, stretched out her hand and slapped her chest vigorously.
Rove also walked over quickly, reaching out to help Cassandra pat.
This is the only hope for him to go back now, so he can't choke to death.
Cassandra blushed, and she hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?"
"Well, this is not a place for conversation, you come with me."
The boy turned and left, and Cassandra followed out under the murderous eyes of the witches.
Rove took Cassandra all the way to the second floor. He habitually wanted to go to Myrtle's bathroom, but he couldn't find it after going around.
"There should be a bathroom here?" Rove was a little puzzled.
"Are you running a fever? There's no bathroom here." Cassandra shook her head and said, "It's always been just a corridor."
Rove didn't continue to struggle, he said in a deep voice, "I want you to help me with divination."
"Divination?" Cassandra pursed her lips, and suddenly said with a smile: "My price is very expensive, and I need ten tokas."
Toca is the currency of wizards in this era. Rove doesn't have it at all. He has some Galleons on him, but in this era, this kind of magic currency made by elves is not in circulation.
Rove carefully glanced around, and then handed the "family heirloom" he bought for a thousand galleons to Cassandra.
He lowered his voice and said, "I'll pay with this."
Cassandra took those books, she didn't think so at first, but after reading through them, she suddenly became excited and asked:
"Where did you get these books?"
"This is a secret, let me ask you if you are paid enough." Rove laughed.
"Enough!" Cassandra hurriedly wrapped up those books carefully. She has been suffering from a shortage of books recently, so she just wanted to read the follow-up content.
But the author of the dog wrote too slowly. She didn't expect Rove to have a follow-up here. She was so excited.
Cassandra licked her lips and asked, "What do you want to divination?"
"I want to know the specific location of a thing." Rove quickly described: "That thing is called the Stone of Destiny, it is light yellow in color, and has a rectangular shape as a whole.
The Muggle king of Scotland would be crowned on that stone, which was later stolen by the goblins. "
"The Stone of Destiny?" Cassandra frowned, "Stolen by the goblin?"
"Yes." Rove said solemnly, "Can you divination?"
"I'll give it a try first." Cassandra took out a bunch of fragrant mallow from her pocket, she held it in her hand, rubbed her fingers lightly, and the flame suddenly burned.
The dim flame licked Cassandra's arm, but she was unmoved, black smoke rising, writhing and writhing.
Rove whistled, which alone was enough to bluff.
Cassandra observed the flame quietly. After observing for a long time, she frowned and said:
"I saw a valley. At the entrance was a giant goblin statue. He held a sword in his hand. There was a huge pyramid-like building in the valley... The stone you are looking for is in that valley."
Rove pondered: "Is there no more specific location?"
Cassandra shook her head and said, "I can't see clearly."
"What do you mean you can't see clearly?"
"A pile of lit bonfires, the flames are changing and jumping, never static, it will reflect a dozen shadows on the ground.
It's just that some shadows are darker and some are fainter than others. "
Cassandra explained:
"Those deepest shadows are often where the location is, but the distance is too far, or there is magical interference, making it as dim as other shadows.
I can't tell now which one is the shadow we are looking for. "
"How can the shadow be clear?" Rove asked.
"You need to go to that valley." Cassandra replied: "The shadows will be clearer when you look closely."
Rove was silent for a moment, and asked, "Are you free to go with me?"
Cassandra groaned and said in amazement:
"We still have to go to class, how can we go to the kingdom of goblins?"
"Anyway, you don't attend the lectures, you are reading other books." Rove smiled and said, "You also do divination for the papers of the final exam. Does it affect you if you don't attend the lectures?"
"..."
Rove stretched out his hand and demanded, "If you don't want to go, return the book to me."
"Hey, don't." Cassandra wrinkled her face, the book must not be returned, why is she:
"Even if I am willing to go, Professor Ravenclaw is unlikely to agree."
"It's okay, I'll help you with Ravenclaw." Rove said confidently, "She will definitely promise me."
"You can't really be the son of Slytherin?" Cassandra asked curiously.
"Guess?" Rove smiled.
Cassandra narrowed her eyes, "I can go with you, but you have to pay extra."
"What reward?"
Cassandra's eyes were as bright as light red candles. She stared at the boy and said seriously, "You have to tell me who you are."
Rove hesitated for a moment, then said softly: "No problem, but we have to find the Stone of Destiny later."
Cassandra hugged her book and pursed her lips into a smile. She stretched happily and said, "I'll go back to class first."
Rove nodded. He didn't leave. He still stood where he was, thinking hard about why there is no Myrtle bathroom here.
The boy suddenly remembered that the basilisk once told him... In the eighteenth century, Corvinus Gunter built a complex pipeline system to hide the secret room.
He also built a washroom, hiding the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets in it.
Before that, the entrance to the secret room was hidden behind a hidden trapdoor.
As long as Rove finds the trapdoor, he will be able to enter the secret room.
And in this era, apart from Slytherin, I am afraid that no wizard has come into contact with that basilisk.
As long as Rove awakens the basilisk, he can be sure whether it is Slytherin's... Horcrux!
