Hogwarts: This Dark Lord is so evil.

Chapter 211 I can keep this secret from you for the rest of your life!

"You're right, Tom, this Gaunt is indeed a little naive." Li Weide agreed with what Tom said.

Even if the real Slytherin is not as paranoid as the world says, even if he has never advocated the supremacy of pure-bloods, so what?
For thousands of years, these fanatical purebloods have had the idea of pureblood supremacy engraved into their bones.

Even if the family heritage is indeed a distortion of Slytherin's thoughts, they can't change it!

However, in a paranoid pure-blood family like the Gaunt family, the appearance of such an outlier is a very rare thing.

Apart from the senior’s best friend, this is the second person Li Weide knows.

"Okay, let's continue. To be honest, I'm now a little curious about what a real Slytherin is like. I wonder if this naive Gaunt has found the answer he wanted." Levid said with a smile.

Tom snorted coldly and said, "Whether this person has found the answer or not, her efforts have been in vain. No one knows better than me whether the Gaunt family has changed because of her investigation!"

"So, maybe Slytherin is really as paranoid as the legend says. After this Gaunt found out that the truth was different from what she thought, she had no way to change her family's mind." Levitra speculated with interest. "Let's go, I hope to see her message later!"

With that, the two continued on their way.

However, the smooth journey came to an abrupt end!

Both Livid and Tom had to stop in front of an iron fence gate.

Unlike the previous doors, this one was locked! And, like the previous doors, it had two strange symbols carved into it.

"It seems that we have to solve the puzzle before we can open the door." Li Weide said, touching his chin.

"This shouldn't be the case. The previous ones didn't need to be solved, but this one does? Could it be that the previous explorers only went here at most? Or... did we take the wrong path?" Tom was also confused.

All the doors in front were unlocked, except this one, which was really strange.

"Maybe the mechanism of this door is different from the previous one. It may return to its original state after a while." Li Weide said as he observed the information around him.

"It's possible... But do we really want to solve the puzzle? It's just an iron door... Maybe we just need a thunder explosion..." Tom looked at the thin iron door.

With this old and broken iron door, not to mention Li Weide, even if Annie was pulled over, it could be blasted open directly!

"Oh? Then I would like to ask, Mr. Riddle, why were those iron doors in front not blown open? Instead, they were opened by someone who had deciphered the code?"

Levitra's Snape-like intonation made Tom's scalp tingle.

"Can you please not speak in such a tone? You really deserve a beating! Even if what you said does make sense..."

Levitra smiled but didn't agree. His Snape-like tone was quite interesting.

"These iron doors look weak, but there are strong traces of magic lingering on them. Obviously, they have sufficient protection and cannot be simply blown open by a few explosive spells."

Suddenly, Levid raised his wand and carefully felt the white mist surrounding it.

"Wait, there seems to be a discovery here..." Levid raised his wand and walked towards a fork in the road.

Tom followed.

In such a strange place, it is safer to follow Li Weide.

This fork in the road does not seem as smooth as the previous road.

Along the entire road, there are many floors that are raised high and appear uneven.

If you want to pass through it, you need to climb up and down, which may take a lot of effort.

Of course, this was not difficult for Li Weide and Tom because they didn't have to walk at all.

"Swoosh..." The two of them used a flying spell to take off from the ground and floated lightly over the strange floors.

After a while, the two of them arrived at the end of the fork in the road.

After landing, Tom looked at Li Weide with a strange look, "Why is the mist white when you fly? Isn't it black?"

"Black is too evil and doesn't fit my character, so I changed it slightly and turned it into righteous white." Li Weide said as a matter of course.

Tom sneered and said nothing more.

In his opinion, evil black is the most suitable color for Levid!

He is obviously a guy who is blacker than the bottom of a pot, but he always pretends to be an innocent person. Doesn't he feel awkward?

"Look, there is a snake-shaped stone sculpture there. Maybe it is the mechanism of the iron gate." Li Weide said, pointing to a stone sculpture on the front wall.

When Tom heard about the snake sculpture, he hurried over.

However, just as he was about to speak in Parseltongue to open the door, he suddenly discovered that the base of the snake-shaped stone sculpture seemed to be composed of two rotating wheels.

There are some strange symbols engraved on the edges of the two roulette wheels, and some symbols are hidden behind the roulette wheels and cannot be seen from the front.

"It seems that I need to spin the wheel and get two correct marks to open the iron door... These marks also seem to have some special meaning..." Tom pondered, "But how do I know which combination is correct? I have never seen these marks before... Is it some knowledge passed down by the Gaunt family?"

No wonder Tom thought this way. The previous Slytherin descendants seemed to have solved the mystery, but he had no clue at all.

It is most likely because he grew up outside and did not inherit certain knowledge that the descendants of Slytherin should have.

"Whatever, let's try it! We can always find a combination of two marks!" Tom said, and started to spin the turntable. "Wait..." Li Weide wanted to stop him, but it was too late.

Tom had already begun to turn.

By the time he heard Li Weide's words and stopped, the two symbols on the roulette wheel had been changed by Tom.

Before Tom could even say "what's wrong?"

The snake-like stone sculpture suddenly came to life, raised its head, and fiercely bit Tom!

Levitra waved his wand lightly, and Tom's figure was suddenly pulled over by him, and slammed hard onto a protruding stone brick behind him.

However, the snake-shaped stone sculpture just missed its target and only left a deep tooth mark on the ground!

Then, the snake-shaped stone sculpture turned back into a stone sculpture again, as if nothing had happened.

Tom looked at the deep teeth marks on the ground and felt like his heart was about to stop beating.

Therefore, even though he was dragged over by Levitra and hit against a rock, causing his internal organs to seem displaced, he still felt extremely fortunate.

Being bitten by that thing is worse than being hit and vomiting blood!
"Don't be so impulsive, Tom... How could this kind of puzzle not have a punishment mechanism? Otherwise, wouldn't you have easily figured it out?"

"But... this is too exaggerated!" Tom looked at the tooth mark and was terrified.

"It's not an exaggeration at all... Slytherin might have felt that he had leniently conducted the test to such an extent that if he could still make a mistake, he would not be worthy of being his descendant. That's why he made the punishment mechanism so cruel, directly destroying the descendant who failed." Levid said with a smile.

"You can just call me stupid, I'm used to it," Tom said with a straight face.

"You are not stupid, you are just too impulsive. You don't observe carefully enough, your thoughts are not thorough enough, and your words and actions are not cautious enough." Li Weide said with a smile.

"To sum it up, it's not much different from stupid..." Tom said dejectedly, "But since you said it's simple, then you must have the answer, so, do you recognize these signs?"

Li Weide looked at the strange symbols and said softly, "We don't need to know what these symbols mean... Have you forgotten that there were two special symbols engraved on the iron door just now?"

"You mean, the answer is the two symbols carved on the door just now?! But they are not here?" Tom immediately looked as if his IQ was insulted.

"It's most likely." Li Weide said, walking forward and spinning the two wheels continuously. "Those two symbols should be hidden in the blind spot behind the wheels. You need to spin them out to see them, so you didn't think of them. Actually, it's not your fault."

Sure enough, as the roulette wheel turned, the two special marks on the door were also turned out.

When Li Weide stopped, a "click" sound was heard in the distance. Obviously, the iron gate was opened.

Tom looked at the two familiar signs, feeling hopeless. "Don't comfort me. I am indeed an idiot..."

No wonder Levander just said that Slytherin let the team down... The answer is engraved on the door!

Release water? Strictly speaking, this is all releasing the sea!
Even so, I still wanted to use the process of elimination, trying it over and over again...

I'm so stupid that I'm crying!

If I were Slytherin, facing such a stupid offspring, I would have to let the snake bite!

"I think you will become much more careful from now on." Li Weide said happily, "People can't teach you, but things can teach you!"

Tom's face turned red, and after a long while, he said shamefully: "Don't tell anyone about what happened today... please."

"Ha, I can feed you with this secret for the rest of my life!"

"Or you could just kill me..."

……

The road was then restored to its previous smooth flow.

Many iron doors were opened, and some were closed again, which were successfully opened using the above method.

And they successfully found the second and third letters left by the naive member of the Gaunt family.

The second letter stated that she was lost for a long time until she lit a brazier and found the right path.

From this we can see how difficult the maze here is to navigate. Only Li Wei's nightmare magic is first-rate in exploring the way, otherwise they would have to spend a lot of time finding the way.

But the third letter made Tom very happy!
Because the letter recorded that when Gaunt was spinning the roulette wheel, he made a mistake and was almost bitten to death by a stone snake.

After knowing that he was not the only fool, Tom's mood became cheerful!

However, Li Weide said leisurely: "Pay attention, they just made an operational error, but someone else could not have thought of it at all..."

The smile on Tom's face suddenly disappeared.

"Or, you might as well just kill me..."

After realizing that he was still the only fool, Tom felt like life was meaningless.

A momentary mistake actually resulted in a lifetime of introversion...
