After a night of terror, Le Yuan began to pay attention to the movement in the water pipes of Hogwarts, but unfortunately, he didn't know if the monster was also avoiding Le Yuan. No matter how Le Yuan searched, it was nowhere to be found.
Just in case, on the twentieth day after entering Hogwarts, Le Yuan took advantage of his free time and went to Myrtle's bathroom on the second floor of Hogwarts.
As one of the ghosts wandering in Hogwarts, Myrtle is not as popular as Nearly Headless Nick, nor does she have the intimidating power of Bloody Barrow among students. She can be said to be an unknown ghost. Being stationed in the restroom on the second floor all year round, no one dared to use the girls' restroom on the second floor. After the restroom fell into disrepair, no one paid attention to it anymore. As a result, Le Yuan didn't see anyone along the way.
"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh, uh, oh, oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo...
Le Yuan followed the crying sound to the closed door of the women's restroom, knocked on the door with his hand and said, "Is anyone there?"
But he heard a woman's cry-like roar coming from inside, "No one is here!" Just as Le Yuan was about to leave, he suddenly felt something strange coming from behind. When he turned around, he found a slightly fat, average-looking man wearing glasses. The white ghost with straight brown twintails came out directly from the closed women's toilet. It was Myrtle who was resident in the bathroom.
Myrtle adjusted her glasses, looked at Le Yuan carefully, and then said in her slightly crying voice: "I, I know you, you are the new teaching assistant, and you are also sweet-tongued. Lot’s assistant, right?”
"Hello, dear Miss Myrtle, I'm sorry to disturb you." Le Yuan greeted Myrtle very politely.
"Oh haha, you are indeed my dear Harold's assistant. She looks so much like him." Myrtle happily covered her mouth and said, but her face quickly turned back to a crying face and said: "You, you are here too. Are you here to see my joke? No - why does everyone in Hogwarts look down on me?" As he spoke, he lost control of his emotions, and tears kept flowing out, with great signs of spilling on Le Yuan.
Seeing that Myrtle was mentally disturbed, Le Yuan quickly changed the subject and said, "Miss Myrtle, are you familiar with Professor Harlot?"
Myrtle stopped crying and looked at Le Yuan's face and said, "Why, why didn't you add "honey" in front of Miss Myrtle? You must hate me in your heart..."
Seeing that Myrtle looked like she couldn't grasp the point at all, Le Yuan raised his feet and wanted to walk deeper into the bathroom. Unexpectedly, as soon as he took a step forward, he heard Myrtle's voice saying: "You and Harold is also a nasty guy, am I not as good-looking as the one in the bathroom? Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuancynongnongsriesweep.
"Harlot?" Hearing Myrtle mention Harlot's name again, Le Yuan had to stop again, turned his head and looked at Myrtle, who was already floating in the air and sitting on the ceiling. : "Can you tell me about your relationship with Harold? Dear Miss Myrtle."
"Huh, since you asked me, I'll sue you. Harold and I have known each other a long time ago. He often came to see me when he was a student at Hogwarts, but He is worthy of being a student of Ravenclaw. He is not only shrewd, but also wise and knowledgeable. Most importantly, he is a very gentleman. He is completely different from other students..." Myrtle seemed to recall some sweet meeting, with a pale face. A flash of blush.
"… Then, when he graduated, the contact between us ended, and I thought I would never see my sweet little Harlot again. You know, you know I heard he came to Hogwarts How happy was I when I was a professor?" Although it was a rhetorical question, Myrtle was still immersed in memories and looking into the distance.
"I thought, I thought he would come to me soon, but not long ago I heard him coming to the bathroom and then came to the bathroom where I was. Instead, he seemed to be communicating with someone, and then I heard haha Lott's footsteps walked towards the bathroom. When I went out to look for him, I saw no one. Harlot seemed to have disappeared... "
After getting the useful information, Le Yuan ignored Myrtle who was talking to herself and got carried away and came to the sink in the bathroom. The sink looked very ordinary. Le Yuan checked it inside and out, up and down, even the water pipes below. Finally, on the side of a copper faucet, I saw a small snake carved on it.
"Open the door!" Of course, Le Yuan said to the copper faucet in normal pronunciation, which had no effect at all.
Le Yuan naturally knew that this was a secret passage that could only be opened by "Parseltongue". Unfortunately, "Parseltongue" was an innate superpower. There was no book in the Hogwarts library explaining how to learn it. , and as for asking Harry for advice, it was even more impossible. Now he didn't even realize that he had this ability.
Le Yuan thought for a while, raised the ring in his hand, and cast a "Water Mirror Reflection" on the pool in front of him. As a non-attack magic, Le Yuan was very familiar with this trick. A ball of water emerged from the pool. The water floated out of thin air, and soon a water mirror appeared in front of Le Yuan, looking back from the scene when Le Yuan entered the bathroom.
The deserted scene changed three days ago. Harlot's figure appeared in the water mirror. Harlot's face was gloomy, and his whole person exuded a completely different temperament from usual, with a trace of The solemn face suddenly showed a trace of struggle, and soon returned to calm.
Harold's mouth opened, and a strange hissing sound came from his mouth. Le Yuan quickly remembered this voice, put away the water mirror, and said in a deep voice to the copper faucet: "Open it!"
Suddenly, the faucet made a clicking sound and began to spin rapidly. Then, the pool started to move. He watched as the pool slowly disappeared from sight, revealing a very thick water pipe that could accommodate a person.
Le Yuan glanced back at Myrtle, who was still intoxicated with him. He jumped into the water pipe and cast a floating spell on himself. Le Yuan's descent was not very fast, which gave him enough time to observe this. waterways. Many pipes branched out in all directions, but none as thick as this one.
When Le Yuan came underground through the water pipe, he saw a dark stone tunnel on the level ground, with heavy moisture and the smell of rotten mud.
Le Yuan took a few steps forward, and found a mouse skull in the dark tunnel, and not far from it were a pile of small animal bones scattered around.
In order not to make any noise, Le Yuan walked around the road while paying attention to the bones under his feet, and quickly turned around a dark bend in the tunnel.
What appeared from Le Yuan's perspective was a huge figure, lying there motionless, while Le Yuan's mental feedback was that it was a dead thing.
Le Yuan's eyes penetrated the darkness and saw clearly the appearance of the behemoth. He found that it was the skin of a venomous snake. It was green and very conspicuous. It was lying coiled on the tunnel floor. It was obviously a snake slough.
From this layer of skin alone, Le Yuan knew that it was at least twenty feet long. However, combined with the previously explored length, Le Yuan knew that this was the skin that the basilisk had shed long ago, and it could not represent it at all. What.
As the skin of a rare species, Le Yuan certainly cannot let it grow moldy here. The result of the appraisal test is that it is a material that has reached a C-level evaluation, and it is a rare item that can be taken out.
Le Yuan cast a transformation spell on the huge snake skin, but the magic was resisted after contacting the snake skin. In the end, the snake skin only shrank by less than one-third.
"Spell resistance?" Looking at the snake skin in front of him, Le Yuan focused his magic power on it. Soon the huge snake skin transformed into the size of an A4 paper. Le Yuan stuffed it with an object control spell. In the space backpack.
Putting away the huge snake skin, Le Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, but also stopped. The monster he was about to face could be said to be an extremely difficult monster - the basilisk. With a one-hit kill sight attack, any creature that sees their eyes will be killed directly.
This also means that Le Yuan needs to fight in a state where he cannot see. Although as an innate master, his five senses are greatly enhanced, and it is naturally not impossible to distinguish the position by listening to the wind. In addition, he can also use spiritual sense (soul perception ability) Vision can also compensate for vision.
Before going in, Le Yuan first cast an iron armor protective spell on himself, and then cast a layer of Immortal Fengyun Body Clothes on the outside. Just in case closing his eyes couldn't block the basilisk's gaze, he directly picked up a black cloth and tied it on his head.
Just like this, Le Yuan moved forward bit by bit, turning one corner after another in the tunnel. In the long tunnel, Le Yuan finally reached the end of the tunnel.
Through his spiritual sense, Le Yuan clearly sensed that there was a solid wall standing in front of him, with two intertwined snakes engraved on it, and their eyes were set with large, shining emeralds.
Le Yuan tried to push it and found that the door seemed to be welded shut and was motionless. And the next moment Le Yuan came to this door, the system released a new task at an inappropriate time -
Optional mission two: Enemy of the basilisk
Mission description: Hunt down the thousand-year-old basilisk hidden in the Slytherin Chamber with your own hands. Success will reward you with 3,000 points, 50 experience points, attribute points*2, and lottery*1. Failure will deduct 5,000 points, and attribute points*5.
His spiritual sense swept through the eyes of the two snakes on the door, and with a flash of inspiration he spoke to them in snake language: "Open!"
The next moment Le Yuan finished speaking, the two entangled snakes separated. The stone wall was split in two from the middle and slowly split to both sides, and then shrank little by little into the wall and disappeared.
His spiritual sense swept across the front and found that there was a huge open space in front of him, but there was no human breath inside. Le Yuan knew that the secret room was here. He took a deep breath, touched the dragon ring on his hand, and finally walked in slowly.
