Return of Salazar Slytherin

38- The Ultimate Magic

"I can teach you about the bubble magic."

Daphne, who didn't want to learn the cleaning spell, was quite interested in the bubble spell that could put a protective cover on her body.

If there wasn't this layer of bubbles... she would reach Merlin while cleaning this horrifying place! Daphne couldn't help but shudder as she recalled the scene she just saw. "Yes, teach me"

Rhys gave her a meaningful look and said no problem.

If she learns the bubble spell, she can also clean the corridor outside the secret room with him.

"This is also your exclusive classroom from now on, you can't just keep it so dirty, right? And cleaning it by myself is a bit too..."

After walking a few steps forward, Rhys suddenly stopped and extinguished the flame for lighting in front of him.

"What happened?" Daphne asked.

"I think you need to be mentally prepared. There is a remnant slough left by a Basilisk in front of us." Rhys told Daphne that he would clean up the slough if she was afraid.

With just one glance, Rhys recognized the snakeskin. It was the snake king he had left in the secret room before.

Naturally, leaving a basilisk in Hogwarts is not to "purify the school." According to Rhys's conception, this basilisk is one of the heritage he left for Hogwarts.

The basilisk lives long enough to protect Hogwarts for thousands of years.

If one day, Hogwarts is invaded by a foreign enemy and reaches a critical moment of life and death, the heir of Slytherin who can speak Parseltongue will open the secret room, summon the basilisk inside, and purify the intruders.

As a result, his intentions were twisted into this so-called slanderous roumer.

Purifying the school from the intruders became purifying the school from the muggle-born wizards...

However, although the Snake King is the ultimate weapon of Hogwarts, Rhys still felt that if Daphne suddenly saw the Snake King's remains, she would be frightened and faint.

Entering Slytherin House did not mean that she was not afraid of snakes, so he warned her in advance. .

As soon as she heard that there was a snake slough in front of her, Daphne subconsciously wanted to follow Rhys's suggestion, but when she thought that it was the snake king Basilisk's slough, her heart suddenly shook.

Basilisk! That's the legendary Snake King! A magical animal that can kill just by looking at someone.

If she missed seeing the skin here, she may regret it for the rest of her life. With this view in mind, Daphne asked Rhys to leave the snake slough in place.

After walking a few steps forward behind Rhys, Daphne vaguely saw the outline of a coiled giant. Raising the reignited fireball, Rhys got a full view of the giant thing.

Under the firelight, a huge snake skin emerged from the darkness. The bright green color clearly told Daphne that it was the skin of a poisonous snake.

This is a bit counterintuitive, because in most cases, large snakes are not venomous, but this thing coiled on the tunnel floor is a counterexample. It is at least twenty feet long.

"Merlin!" Daphne couldn't help but gasp.

This kind of monster actually exists in the world!

After letting Daphne take a good look at the remains of the snake king, Rhys led her over the huge snakeskin and continued deeper along the tunnel.

The tunnel turned round and round, and finally, a wall with two intertwined snakes carved on it appeared in front of him.

The snake's eye sockets are set with huge, sparkling emeralds.

The secret room has arrived.

Rhys couldn't help but sigh: He didn't have to put in so much effort to get here before. It's time to repair the previous mechanism.

He approached the stone wall and spoke in Parseltongue to the snake statues above: "Xhes ach xuhntes~."

The two snakes separated, and the stone wall cracked in the middle, slowly sliding to both sides and disappearing. Rhys and Daphne walked into the space behind the stone wall.

Behind the wall is a dimly lit room with many serpentine stone pillars erected on both sides of the room.

The room was so high that the stone pillars supporting the ceiling melted into the shadows at the height, casting long and strange black shadows on the entire room that was filled with green and mysterious light.

On the other side of the room, there stands a statue as tall as the room itself. The statue clings to the dark wall behind. People who enter the room have to raise their necks high to see the huge face of the statue.

When people come to the statue, they will have the illusion of being overwhelmed by a mountain, and some people may even be out of breath.

"...So this is Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets." Looking at the room shrouded in a strange atmosphere, Daphne's eyes were filled with awe.

"Only students approved by Slytherin can enter here." Rhys stood in front of the statue and whispered softly.

When he was old this statue looked majestic in his eyes but there is one thing to say, and now when he looks back at it again, he admits that the statue is a bit ugly.

'Ah, its probably because of the dust and lighting'

"Please wait a moment." Rhys snapped his fingers, and the secret chamber that had been dusty for thousands of years started to operate again.

Illuminating spells, astrology spells, weather spells, exhaust spells...

Rhys snapped his fingers, and a series of spells in the secret room began to run: the originally dark ceiling changed and turned into the sky outside the castle; the bright sunshine outside poured into the secret room, directly replacing the green mist. The fluorescence swept away the eerie atmosphere in the secret room; the stale air was also driven away, and fresh air from outside poured in, even with the smell of flowers, grass, and earth.

"The spell mechanism here hasn't expired yet!" Daphne was stunned by the completely new secret room in front of her.

A glint of pride flashed in Rhys's eyes: This was the spell mechanism he had personally arranged back then.

"Okay, just don't worry about some small details." Rhys said pretending to be modest, "We have to hurry up and start today's teaching, but before teaching you the magic spells, I have to ask you a question - Have you heard of the Ultimate Spells?"

"The ultimate spells?" Daphne's voice was full of confusion.

'What is the ultimate spell? A powerful spell? But what kind of spell is considered powerful? My father said that Grindelwald almost burned down half of Paris with a spell. This should be considered powerful, right?'

"It seems that you don't know." Rhys nodded, thinking that this was normal.

The magic world today is very different from a thousand years ago. Wizards don't have many opportunities for actual combat, and naturally, there is no chance to see the best wizards of an era go all out.

"But it doesn't matter. It's good that I brought you here to teach." Rhys showed a slightly mysterious smile.

In the past, for better teaching results, Rhys worked hard on this secret room. Here, according to his memory, the scenes in the memory can be restored as realistically as possible, giving people an immersive feeling - the whole secret room can be used as a meditation basin.

Rhys waved his wand gently, like a conductor of a band. He tapped the tip of his wand, and ripples began to appear in the air. The face of the Slytherin stone sculpture also moved, and white smoke poured out of his eyes, ears, mouth, and nose, gradually filling the entire secret room.

In an instant, Daphne was shrouded in a white mist, but the smoke soon dissipated. And when the white mist dissipated, she found herself on a rough sea!
