HP Dark Lord save the world

Chapter 32
The air is quite dry, and there is a faint smell, which is emitted by old paper, filling the entire space.

The fire on the wall flickered, rows of bookshelves stood silently in the spacious hall, and countless books with old covers seemed to be silently waiting for visitors.

At the end of the bookshelf is a long horizontal table with twelve high-backed chairs neatly arranged. There are piles of books on the table, as well as spread parchment and an ink bottle with a quill pen inserted, as if the owner of the place is next to him. It will come back in seconds.

Behind the long table is a fireplace. The fire is not lit, and there is not a single piece of wood in the fireplace, but there is a thick layer of gray and black inside, which shows that it has been used for a long time.

There is a picture hanging on the wall above the fireplace, a giant python is entrenched on the mountain of books, propping up the snake body, spitting out a letter and staring coldly ahead.

"Open the door of true knowledge." A message that sounded like words entered her head at this moment, and Itana instinctively put her hand on her forehead. When she recalled it, the message was gone, leaving only one in her memory. imprint.

"Did you hear that? That voice." Itana asked her companions.

"Open the door of magic?" Tom asked back. Itana was a little surprised by this answer, guessing that it was magic that acted on the mind, something similar to the Mirror of Erised.

"Almost," Itana thought for a while, "Should we explore this library or continue to exit early? Personally, I suggest finding the exit first. Once you know the entrance and exit, you can come back here as many times as you want."

"Find the exit."

Because the environment is unknown and separation is prone to accidents that are difficult for individuals to deal with, the two walked through the rows of bookshelves one after the other. Itana noticed the books on the bookshelves, her eyes lit up a little bit.

"There's a door there, go and have a look." Tom took a few steps forward, and found that the people behind hadn't followed, and turned his head with some impatience mixed with confusion, "What's wrong?"

Itana was standing in front of a bookshelf, tiptoeing to reach for a black-bound book on the fifth floor.

"Soul and Magic"

He raised his eyebrows slightly, and understood the reason why the girl didn't keep up with him.

"Found it?" He walked up to Itana, also tiptoed, but he was a little bit taller than Itana, and finally touched the old black-covered book with his fingertips.

Gripping the book between his index and middle fingers, Tom pulled it out.

He took the book in his hand and opened it, with a confused expression on his face.

Seeing this, Itana also stretched her head to look at the page. The densely packed text twisted and squirmed, constantly changing positions, and this kind of text was neither English nor the rune script she had seen several times. Text never seen before.

No wonder Tom showed that expression, Itana sighed in her heart, this time she really suffered from being uneducated.

But the Old English written on the spine of the book, shouldn't the two use the same phonetic system?This situation is as if you bought the Count of Monte Cristo with a Chinese cover, and then opened it to see that the content is actually in English.

But they finally put the book away, ready to take it out and study it slowly.

The two came back to the door that Tom found. Itana tried to push it first, but the iron door didn't open. In the end, Tom still opened it with Parseltongue.

This security system is really good. Does Salazar have the habit of talking to the door every day?It's really not too troublesome, of course, it may be that he is relatively free.

Itana, slandering the founder of Slytherin in her heart, walked half a step behind Tom into another room.

The dome more than ten meters high, the statue of Slytherin himself, the serpentine statues on both sides, and the big water pool.

During the identification of the elements of the new scene, the identification was completed and the place where Harry fought the Basilisk was found.

Itana looked at the big statue of Slytherin and Tom, for fear that he would summon Dafa with a basilisk in the next second.

Fortunately, he probably doesn't know how the basilisk screams now.

But in this way, the originally planned plot was disrupted. Tom should have discovered the secret room only in the fifth grade, but now it's a good thing, they found it by mistake in the first grade.

Itana can only feel the power of the butterfly effect.

"Which way should we go?" She looked to the other end of the two rows of serpentine statues, which should be the exit, connecting to the girls' bathroom on the third floor.

It's just that she didn't expect that one day she would also go into the sewer.

Hearing this, Tom thought about it for a while, and chose another door that was symmetrical to the door they came out when they entered here.

Well, judging from general experience, the aisle guarded by two rows of snakes is indeed more like a place leading to the entrance and exit, because it looks more formal.But Tom probably knew why he chose Itana.

The room they came in was connected to an exit, so what would happen to this other room that seemed to have a symmetrical door?
The answer is treasure troves.

Gold, jewelry, and all kinds of gorgeous gems are stacked in different places. On the cabinets against the wall are wooden boxes of different sizes, which are estimated to be valuable things.

"Hey, your ancestors left quite a few good things." Itana sighed briskly, narrowed her eyes and scanned the room, and stopped in one direction.

She took a step, passing over the piles of gold, silver and various jewels without paying much attention, and found a stone door at the place corresponding to the previous library.

"Based on the previous layout, this is likely to lead to another exit."

As far as she knows, there are already three exits, the three caves of the cunning rabbit, as expected of Slytherin.

"Tom, open the door." She turned to greet Tom, but saw that the man was looking at her with a very strange look.

"What's wrong?" she asked.

"Do you want to take some back?" Tom pointed to Qizhen in the room, and looked at Itana without blinking.

Itana tilted her head and said as it should, "Why do I need these things?"

"Okay, let's open the door. Hughes and the others don't know what's going on, so they have to go back quickly." She patted the stone door with open eyes, and the wealth all over the floor didn't seem to shake her in the slightest.

Tom lowered his eyes and looked at the box of gems at his feet. He was silent for two seconds. Putting aside these unnecessary distractions, he walked to the door and opened the stone door in Parseltongue.

There was still a passage in front of them, but this passage was not as long as the previous one. After about 50 meters, they turned a corner, and another door lay in front of them.

Open the door. Behind the door is an upward spiral staircase. After stepping on the stairs, it keeps going up and finally reaches the top after 5 minutes.

It turned out that this was connected to a corner on the third floor of the castle. When they came out from behind the overturned wall, what they saw was the moonlight scattered all over the place.

"Phew, it's finally out, otherwise I'm going to be claustrophobic." Itana breathed a sigh of relief, "Do you want to keep this matter secret for you?"

She wondered Tom's attitude towards the Chamber of Secrets.

"Thank you for your thoughtfulness. Let this adventure be a little secret between us."

Tom smiled very gently, and handed the book taken out from below to Itana, "I think it should be able to help you a lot."

Does this mean hush money?Or to put it more nicely, in order to keep her secret, I decided to favor her.

"You're welcome." She didn't refuse, and stuffed the book into her bag.

"Okay, let's go to Hughes and the others, I hope Solo didn't find them." Itana touched her face as she said, it was too dark, and Tom was walking too fast, she didn't even have time to get the mask back .

Suddenly a hand stretched out, holding a familiar object in it, her mask.

"When did you pick it up..." Itana wondered and took the mask that Tom handed over, looked at it, and found that there was no damage, but it was stained with mud.

She flicked it up, cleaned it up, and put the mask back on her face.
