Lockhart pointed his wand slightly at Snape's body.

Snape's petrified body floats in mid-air, following Lockhart.

At some point, the little snake once again wrapped itself around his arm and fell asleep.

.......

Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets, underground palace.

tread!tread!tread!

In the empty underground palace, there was an echo of footsteps.

In the beginning, the underground palace not only had a lot of stagnant water and dirt on the ground, but the air also had a dirty smell.

But after Lockhart, no, to be more precise, it should be the gold coins that were carefully taken care of.

The entire hall was completely renewed. The stagnant water completely disappeared, every marble floor became clean and clear, and even the surrounding stone pillars were carefully maintained.

As for the air, it always remains fresh due to the effects of magic and magic circles.

In order to keep the underground palace brightly lit at all times, several bright light balls were arranged in every corner above the palace.

At this moment, Lockhart was walking slowly towards the center of the hall, with the petrified Snape floating behind him.

The little snake that was originally wrapped around my arm felt that it had returned to its hometown.

I don't know when, I wandered on the ground, found a familiar position, and began to release my body.

Soon, at the edge of the palace, a huge basilisk coiled up its body and stared at its master silently.

At this moment, Lockhart stood in the center of the hall, looking at Snape in front of him.

After a moment's silence, he waved again.

The petrified Snape floated again and landed in front of the basilisk.

At this time, the basilisk already knew its mission and its eyes were fixed on Snape in front of it.

Snape, on the other hand, remained motionless with his wand extended.

At this moment, Lockhart stretched out his wand and gently drew a circle, and a portal leading to the Slytherin stone chamber opened.

He took a step forward and entered the dim stone chamber again.

The next moment, Lockhart snapped his fingers lightly, and a ball of light emerged, dispelling the darkness.

At the same time, the portrait of Slytherin hanging on the wall seemed to sense the breath of life coming again.

He woke up from his deep sleep, looked at Lockhart in front of him, and said hello: "Nice to meet you again, Lockhart, what's up?"

"Mr. Slytherin, I'd like to ask you a question." Lockhart said politely.

"Okay, what is it?" Slytherin said softly, "It's still the same old rule, one answer for another."

"No problem." Lockhart nodded and asked, "I want to ask, what changes will occur when a wizard breaks through the bottleneck?"

"Or, is there any introduction to the realms of wizards practicing magic?"

Hearing Lockhart's question, Slytherin looked at Lockhart carefully and asked doubtfully: "Lockhart, you haven't reached the bottleneck yet, right? There's no point in asking this question."

"Yes, Mr. Slytherin." Lockhart nodded and said, "It has not arrived yet, but it will arrive in the future, so let's find out in advance."

Hearing this, Slytherin was silent, or it would be more appropriate to say speechless, and said with emotion: "As a wizard, you should not aim too high."

“I suggest you ask this question when you reach a bottleneck.”

Hearing Slytherin's advice, Lockhart was silent for a moment, knowing that the other party meant well.

But he continued, "Mr. Slytherin, you can understand that I now have an opportunity to quickly improve my magic and break through the bottleneck."

"I want to learn from you about your experience in breakthroughs, so that I can avoid going astray in the future."

Hearing this, Slytherin became curious and asked, "Lockhart, what opportunity? A magical relic?"

"I can sense that you are still a long way from the bottleneck."

"Mr. Slytherin, are you sure you want this answer?" Lockhart asked as if to remind or tempt, "If so, I can answer part of it and ensure that the two answers are of equal value."

What Lockhart said actually aroused Slytherin's curiosity. After thinking for a while, he said readily, "Okay, I'm quite curious. What information is so valuable?"

Hearing this, Lockhart's eyes flashed with a smile, but then he said calmly: "Then Mr. Slytherin, please tell me first, in your era, what characteristics or titles did wizards have when they broke through the bottleneck?"

"I don't seem to see much information about this in the wizarding world today."

Hearing this, Slytherin said, "This is normal. Many wizards discussed this issue at the time, but there was no common answer. Everyone had their own opinions, and the ways of breaking through were also very different."

"Even if he is the most advanced wizard, the best he can do is describe his transformations, but he cannot replicate them completely."

"Some people rely on their own talents to achieve breakthroughs naturally. Others study magic, transform themselves, and break through bottlenecks. This can only be applied to themselves, and at most can provide guidance in terms of concepts."

"I looked at you and I think your way of breaking through the bottleneck is through magic transformation. How many rounds of transformation has your magic undergone?"

"Two rounds." Lockhart replied after a pause.

His first transformation was to absorb the power of Thor, and the second was to absorb the power of Kamar-Taj Vishanti.

Both of these powers are of extremely high quality, which is why his strength increased so quickly.

"Two rounds." Slytherin would sigh, then compliment: "You are lucky, just like Gryffindor."

"He had an adventure at that time, and his magic was also transformed. His magic was very special. Not only did it give him powerful magic, but it also gave him a strong body. As a result, he had a wand in his left hand and a sword in his right hand. He alone defeated a large number of wizards who had objections to the establishment of Hogwarts."

"He deserves the title of Duel Master."

"Unfortunately, he is a bit stupid, or rather a bit reckless. If we hadn't saved him, he would have fallen into other people's traps many times."

Lockhart heard Slytherin's complaints and said nothing. He just pricked up his ears and listened slowly.

It would be interesting to listen to the gossip about the founder.

Then Slytherin complained a few more times, saying that Gryffindor was a bit stupid, couldn't see the situation clearly at the time, and insisted on recruiting Muggles and so on.

But soon, Slytherin changed the subject again, looking at Lockhart and said.

"I can sense that the quality of your magic is very high now, but in the future, it will be difficult for you to transform your magic."

Hearing this, Lockhart asked, "Mr. Slytherin, do you have any good suggestions?"

After hearing this, Slytherin thought about it silently and said, "Let me tell you about several ways I know of to break through the bottleneck. You can also learn from them."

"The first is magic transformation. This type depends more on chance encounters, or perhaps you have a special talent or your wizard bloodline is very pure."

"The second method is to transform your own body. In our era, many people chose this method to break through bottlenecks. Some people borrowed the blood of magical creatures, some used magic power to temper themselves, and some chose to transform themselves through mud runes, etc."

"There are many benefits to doing this. Your strength and lifespan will continue to improve."

Hearing this, Lockhart nodded silently.

He could probably guess that the old monsters in the wizarding world in the future would most likely be this kind of people.

"However, it is difficult to judge the breakthrough changes of wizards who choose to transform their bodies. It is very likely that their strength will become very strong, or it is also very likely that their strength will be average, but their lifespan will be very long."

"This is a test of a wizard's talent. A good wizard can naturally continue to develop new routes. A wizard with less talent can only follow the book and try to break through again with luck."

"The third one is the transformation of the soul. Ravenclaw broke through the bottleneck in this aspect. We talked about it before. It is quite difficult, but the effect is still very good."

"There will be a lot of improvements in control of the body, magic power, spells, including casting, etc."

"The only pity is that the increase in life expectancy is relatively small."

Speaking of this, it’s a pity for Slytherin.

Then, Slytherin explained several ways to break through the bottleneck.

For example, transforming oneself into a magical life, or a magic puppet, etc.

Lockhart was dazzled and couldn't help but sigh that the ancient wizards were really good at having fun and didn't treat their bodies as their own bodies at all.

As he pondered, Lockhart was somewhat curious: what method did Dumbledore choose to break through the bottleneck? What about Grindelwald? What about Voldemort? And what about other old monsters?

After thinking for a moment, Lockhart decided not to pursue the matter in detail. He would naturally know if he really encountered it.

However, Lockhart also understood why no one in the wizarding world had developed a complete system of training and advancement over the years.

Because there are so many different ways to break through, and even the effects and characteristics of each breakthrough method are different.

There is simply no way to make a unified plan.

Therefore, the common method at that time was to fight. If you could win, you were strong, and if you couldn’t, you were weak.

As long as you defeat a top wizard, you are also a top wizard.

It's that simple, yet very practical, and the wizarding world has not changed in thousands of years.

If you want to clearly understand the system characteristics of each realm, you may have to look at your new magic system.

Lockhart felt excited at the thought.

Soon, Slytherin introduced several ways to break through the bottleneck and ended the conversation.

Then he looked at Lockhart with a smile and said teasingly: "Lockhart, it's time to tell me your news."

"You said it, the two messages are of equal value."

After hearing this, Lockhart nodded slightly and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, Mr. Slytherin, the information I provided is definitely very valuable."

"Do you...know about gods?"

"God?"

After hearing this, Slytherin muttered to himself, as if he had thought of something, with doubt in his eyes. After a moment of silence, he spoke in a deep voice.

"Lockhart, tell me more."

"Mr. Slytherin, my companions and I went to explore a magical relic." Lockhart stretched out his wand, touched his forehead lightly, and pulled out a silver-white thread.

Then it gently passed through the air, and a thin mist gradually rose along the trajectory of the magic wand.

Then, a scene changed.

In the basement of the building, he, Casillas and Morin were facing the dark believer Lawrence.

Slytherin frowned upon seeing this.

He seemed to be able to sense the reality of the picture, and through the memory of the picture he could sense the evil power emerging from Lawrence.

But he didn't say anything and continued to listen silently.

"At that time, my companions and I saw him calling on Dormammu, the god of darkness, and he...really came."

The next moment, the scene changed, and the dark believer Lawrence was seen kneeling on one knee, touching the ground with both hands, and chanting loudly.

"Great dark god Dormammu, your loyal believer Lawrence Torno offers you the sacrifice in front of you, begging for your attention and breaking the seal in front of you..."

"Gain the power of dragon bones and re-enter the human world."

Immediately afterwards, Lawrence's appearance began to change. His eyes turned dark black, black threads appeared on his body and arms, and a large amount of dark aura surged from his body.

Then...

The scene quickly jumped and they entered the hall. Three people were fighting with Dormammu's followers and a large piece of crystal clear dragon bone flashed by.

Then the picture stopped abruptly.

Lockhart introduced quietly, "This Dormammu who called himself the God of Darkness was very powerful after he came, but he was driven away by me and my companions and eventually left."

"And we also obtained our own spoils of war - dragon bones!"

As he spoke, Lockhart waved his wand, and a palm-sized dragon bone fragment emerged.

At the same time, a huge breath of life and magical fluctuations permeated the entire secret room.

Seeing this scene, Slytherin's doubts gradually subsided. He had never seen such a thing before, but the abundant vitality in it could definitely be called a priceless treasure.

It was worth fighting for by many wizards, and even his soul revealed its desire, telling him that this thing would be of many benefits to him.

Lockhart wouldn't have deceived him about something like this.

And that was obviously a memory. Even if it could be falsified, it would not be possible to falsify a large amount of information. At most, it would only be a minor change.
