Chapter 416
Rove held his wand and knocked along the walls of the corridor one by one, but after searching for a long time, he couldn't find the partition mentioned by the basilisk.
The young man thought for a moment, and suddenly remembered something. He suddenly turned around, walked quickly back to the fireplace that had already been checked, and looked at it carefully.
The fireplace was unremarkable, and there was still a charcoal fire burning in the furnace, but Rove stared at the shape of the flame, vaguely feeling that it looked like a constantly shaking snake.
The young man looked more and more like it. He waved his magic wand, extinguished the flame, and then removed the layer of charcoal ash. Sure enough, he found a small snake-shaped statue.
Rove used Parseltongue and made a hissing sound. The little snake seemed to come alive, and dragged its body to climb up. The partition was also pulled up, revealing a square hole that could accommodate one person through.
He looked up, and the hole was deep and dark, as if it went straight to the deepest part of the castle.
Rove snapped his fingers, and a ball of flames fell down, but the hole was very deep, and soon only a faint light could be seen at the deep bottom.
Since he could not see the bottom of the cave, he had to step into the fireplace, and plunged straight into the darkness, his wand lighting up, illuminating the dark crevices in the black walls.
After flying for a long time, the boy landed on both feet. He looked around and found that it was a spacious open space like an auditorium. The bonfire was burning among the stone pillars, and the smoke had blackened the ceiling of the cave.
Four passages intersect here, and each road is so deep that there is no end to it.
Rove frowned. He didn't expect that the road to the Chamber of Secrets would be so complicated before Corvinus transformed the pipes of Hogwarts.
Just when the young man was hesitating and was about to cover up a passage, suddenly a gust of wind blew, as if someone had blown his breath gently, and his sleeves were blown in a certain direction with the wind.
Rove squinted his eyes and felt the lingering breeze. He didn't hesitate too long, then held up his glowing wand and walked along the wind.
The passage was long and dark, surrounded only by constantly curved stone walls, and the floor under his feet seemed to be moving and rolling slowly, trying to trap the boy.
Rove walked for a long way, and the wall finally came to an end, and a wooden door appeared. There was no handle or keyhole on the door, only a bronze knocker in the shape of an eagle.
Rove frowned. This place is exactly the same as the entrance to the Ravenclaw common room. Could it be that behind the door is the Ravenclaw Tower? !
The young man was puzzled. How could he come to Ravenclaw College, at least a thousand meters deep underground?
He knocked on the door tentatively, and the eagle's beak opened immediately, asking in a gentle, musical voice:
"You've never seen a crow, but you see a green apple, what happens to the probability that all crows are black?"
Luo Fu thought for a while and replied: "The probability of all crows being black will increase."
"The answer is correct." After the voice finished speaking, the door creaked open.
Rove stepped into a circular room, only to find that this was not the Ravenclaw lounge, but more like a small... library.
A towering circular bookshelf lined the walls, thousands of leather-bound grimoires, and crates of ancient scrolls...stacked tiered to the roof.
In the center of the room is a desk and a chair.
In addition to a folded magic book, there was also a piece of parchment on the table. The pen and ink on the paper hadn't completely dried up. It should be that someone was writing something here before.
Rove suddenly heard the sound of rushing water. He walked deep into the room and found a small door next to a pair of sphinx statues. He pushed the door open and entered a cave.
The cave is empty and deep, and the stone teeth hang on the ceiling, which looks like a strange rock, which is extremely terrifying.
Not far away, there is a lake that is as blue and clear as the sky.
In the misty mist, a witch with a graceful figure sits alone on a moss-covered rock beside a deep lake, holding an oak comb, gently combing her black hair.
Rove walked over slowly, and after seeing the appearance of the witch, he hurriedly said:
"Sorry...Professor Ravenclaw, I didn't know you were here."
"It's okay, I guided you here." Ravenclaw turned around, she stared at Rove, and asked calmly:
"Who told you that there is an entrance under that fireplace?"
"In our day, that hallway had no fireplace and was converted into a bathroom, and there was a pipe leading to Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets."
Rove looked at Ravenclaw combing his hair and explained:
"I entered the secret room and took the basilisk away. Naturally, I knew that the entrance was nearby, and then I found it...Professor, where is this?"
Ravenclaw stretched out her green fingers and fiddled with the icy water of the lake. Ripples arose on the surface of the lake. She said softly:
"You can think of this place as... my secret room. I usually study magic here."
"The other passages lead to Hufflepuff and Gryffindor's chambers?" Rove guessed.
"That's right." Ravenclaw nodded, "The four of us used to meet and exchange magic experiences."
Rove raised his eyebrows. How come in his era, only Slytherin's chamber of secrets remained?
Are the other three rooms closed, or did Corvinus deliberately cover up the entrances to the other rooms when he built the plumbing system?
Ravenclaw said softly: "Do you want to enter Slytherin's chamber of secrets again and look for the basilisk he raised?"
"Yes." Rove said honestly, "I want to ask the basilisk some questions to see how it differs from a thousand years later."
"No need to go." Ravenclaw said lightly: "When Salazar left, he took the basilisk away."
"But... that basilisk told me that Slytherin left Hogwarts that year and didn't take it away, so it stayed in the Chamber of Secrets." Rove wondered.
"It lied to you." Ravenclaw glanced at Rove, and said slowly:
"That basilisk was trained by Salazar himself. It is very good at lying, as natural as breathing."
"So..." Rove narrowed his eyes, and said slowly: "Slytherin will come back to Hogwarts in the future, and keep the basilisk?"
"Maybe." Ravenclaw didn't seem to care too much, she stared at the young man with burning eyes, and said in a cold voice:
"I have something for you."
"What's the matter?" Rove asked quickly.
Ravenclaw stood up, her long hair cascading down her back. She was wearing a silk dress woven of ivory brocade and silver thread, which was extremely close-fitting and outlined a graceful curve.
A sky-blue robe appeared behind Ravenclaw, she stretched her arms, and the robe automatically wore on her body, covering the lines.
Ravenclaw was naked with a pair of jade feet that did not disturb the slender dust, and stepped on the lake lightly, causing ripples visible to the naked eye.
"follow me."
