In the tombs and palaces buried deep underground, there were many traces of ancient civilizations that Enns had never seen before. There are long tomb passages filled with unknown characters, huge stone doors that are half open and half closed, and huge murals one after another.
Along the way, Enns held up the radiant wand and looked around, feeling quite dizzy. Everything here seemed to him like he was in another world.
He even discovered a strange formation in the center of the underground palace that almost covered the entire tomb.
Look at the middle of the formation. An old floor-to-ceiling mirror is placed there quietly. The countless blue silk threads scattered around it clearly indicate that the formation is still in operation.
Since the tomb looked too suspicious, and Enns thought Malfoy should have walked in front of him, he never thought of going in and taking a closer look.
After a quick walk, Enns, carrying the broomstick that accompanied him all the way, hurriedly passed through several tombs and finally entered the huge main tomb located at the deepest part of the underground palace.
Then, he was completely shocked by the astonishing black monument.
"This... what is this?"
The main tomb was so big that even the light from the wand's glowing spell couldn't reach the top, so when you looked up you could only see darkness. And that huge black monument stood straight up from the tomb floor tiles, and disappeared straight into the dim shadow.
Just as he was standing at the entrance of the tomb, feeling deeply shocked by this giant stone monument that looked like black jade, an extremely vicissitudes of voice suddenly rang out from his mind. He clearly didn't understand a word, but he was incredibly able to clearly understand its meaning.
"...well...power...you want power..."
After Enns heard this, he was immediately stunned and involuntarily wanted to walk towards the stone tablet. It felt like that voice had endless temptation, making it almost irresistible for him.
Yes, it was like... it was attracting his soul continuously!
The moment Enns suddenly realized this, his progress suddenly stopped. Because he finally discovered how similar the current situation was to the previous trial in the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets - as long as he stopped, he would have to bear an extremely terrible burden, even for a second. The time seems to have been stretched dozens of times!
Under the bewitchment of that voice, holding on to one's will has become an extremely difficult thing.
"If it hadn't been for Salazar Slytherin's trial, I'd probably have lost myself by now, right?" Enns, who was holding his knees to support his body, couldn't help but think, "I just don't know. How long is this going to last..."
His knees were trembling, and his heart was filled with the instinctive desire to move forward, but he vaguely understood that he could never let it go here. His intuition told him that if he listened to the bewitchment of that voice, he would really be doomed.
"...power...you want...power..."
In Enns's senses, the time he struggled to maintain his will was as slow and long as the movement of the stars, but in fact it only seemed like about ten seconds had passed.
When the moment came when the voice that kept swirling in his head suddenly stopped, his whole body went limp, and then he knelt down on the square floor tiles and gasped hard.
"Finally... is it over? Could it be that... this is some kind of damn trial?"
While breathing heavily, Enns spoke intermittently. Of course, he didn't expect anyone to respond to his complaints, but to his surprise, a burst of transparent green light lit up in the darkness above his head.
"Successor, very good, you have resisted the temptation from the soul... If you obey the will of that voice, you will definitely become a walking corpse and lose yourself forever."
When Enns heard this, he was startled for a moment, and then he suddenly raised his head.
"Who are you... Salazar Slytherin?"
After he saw the green shadow in the sky and guessed the other party's identity, he noticed one thing - what the other party said just now was in the language of snakes.
However, he did not get an answer to his inquiry, because although the figure looked down, it seemed that he completely ignored him.
"And just now, you did persist until the end. The soul imprint I left on you in the secret room also successfully awakened the memory I kept in the snake staff."
Slytherin's shadow was just talking to himself and had no sense of self at all. As he said himself, this green shadow is just a memory image that he retained thousands of years ago.
But from this sentence, Enns knew one thing - even if Malfoy had been here before him, he would definitely not be able to awaken Slytherin's magical image, because he obviously would not have the so-called "soul mark" .
While Enns was secretly rejoicing, Slytherin's shadow had already continued speaking.
"Now, my successor... the person who deserves to die under the stone monument has been suppressed by me. In a short period of time, he will not be able to affect you again. You can climb to the top of the stone monument to accept the gift I gave you... "
"Well… "
Enns was stunned for a moment. He looked at the incredibly tall black monument in front of him, and then at the broom in his hand, and he couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
"Is it possible that wizards in that era could fly at will?"
Just because the image of Slytherin made "climbing to the top of the stone monument" so easy and natural, Enns couldn't help but feel that his guess might actually have some possibility.
After a moment of wonder, he climbed onto the broomstick and soared into the sky, flying straight to the height where the Slytherin shadow was.
"Ohhhhh!"
He didn't expect that it was actually very close to the top of the tomb. Therefore, when he discovered this, he could only quickly decelerate and turn sideways, barely avoiding the tragedy of hitting the dome of the tomb.
At this time, the image of Slytherin, who had given the visitors time to climb to the top, began to speak again.
"Successor, pull out the emerald snake staff I left here. It can help you no longer be invaded by the power of the Bewitching Monument. It will also increase the magic you cast while providing you with a certain degree of magic supplement..."
It was time to reap the benefits, and Enns looked particularly excited. Having just landed on the top of the monument from his broomstick, he ran excitedly towards the short staff that was emitting emerald green light. He could clearly see that the so-called "emerald snake staff" was inserted diagonally into the black Between a few pieces of rubble on the top of the stele.
"Crack-"
From the time he found the clues to the unsolved letters in Hufflepuff's Chamber of Secrets, he had gone through a lot of hard work along the way.
Whether it was looking up and translating ancient texts, or going through trials in the secret room, and of course the hard flight all the way... He even almost had the final fruit snatched away by Malfoy.
To be honest, he couldn't wait for a long time.
Before the image of Slytherin could finish speaking, Enns grabbed the snake staff that exuded fluorescent green light, and then pulled it out with all his strength.
The moment the snake staff left the black monument, a cold and majestic aura swept across Enns's body in the blink of an eye. There seemed to be a touch of vicissitudes and loneliness originating from ancient times in that aura, which made Deens feel as if he had been swallowed up by an endless darkness.
Soon, Maka, who was still several miles away, noticed this amazing movement.
But in the next moment, the snake staff held tightly in Enns's hand came out with an extremely clear coldness, sweeping away the terrible feeling just now.
Of course, Slytherin's image couldn't feel what was happening right now. And what he said in Parseltongue still continued—
"Successor, if you accept this gift from me, it means that you will accept my next mission. Take my snake staff, recite the incantation with me, and give me the power I left in it. Breeding basilisk—"
At this point, Slytherin's shadow suddenly laughed.
"Chichichichi... Hahahahaha... Ridiculous and despicable Haierbo, all his soul fragments will be wiped out by the monster he researched... Hahahaha... "
At this moment, the huge stone monument under Enns's feet shook without warning, as if something was about to break out from under the stone monument. At the same moment, Enns, who was standing on the stone monument and listening to Slytherin's old laughter, was immediately dumbfounded.
"Basilisk?" He said in astonishment with his mouth half open, "What the hell is that-"
Halfway through his words, he recalled as his feet shook more and more violently. Yes, in the Chamber of Secrets, another shadow of Slytherin seemed to mention something about power, gold... and the basilisk...
But…
"You old scumbag with a sparse beard, why didn't you tell me earlier!" He yelled at Salazar Slytherin, who was still laughing loudly next to him, "This time... I'm afraid I'm going to be harmed by you this time. died!"
Of course, there was no use in cursing anymore, so Enns just vented his anger and immediately got on the broom and jumped into the air. He didn't care about anything and rushed straight through the tomb passage.
Obviously, without the basilisk, his strength alone would be of no use. Instead of hesitating here to see what will crawl out from under the giant monument, it is better to escape as soon as possible. If you are lucky, you might be able to save a small life.
And just as Enns quickly rushed towards the door of the tomb, even the entire underground palace trembled slightly. At this moment, there was only one thought left in his head -
"You shouldn't just bury me alive, right?"
