I'm the king of the roll at Hogwarts

Chapter 158 Secret Room
As a loyal friend, Louis would never abandon his brothers.

He first took out Lemonia and told her to go down and take a look, and to be careful not to prick Harry. After getting a response that it was okay, Louis let go.

After a while, Lemonia's message came back.

"That little fellow seems to have fainted, master." It can be heard that Lemonia is gloating.

Louis quickly opened the energy shield and went in through the pipe.

He felt as if he had entered a narrow enclosed slide, which twisted and turned like a bend, and from time to time he could feel the muffled sound of the shield hitting the wall of the tube.

Fortunately, his physical fitness has been strengthened over time, otherwise he would definitely suffer from motion sickness.

After several twists and turns, everything suddenly became clear. Louis emerged from the tube and he even heard a clear "pop" sound.

The ground was very wet, but due to the effect of the energy shield, the dirt did not get on him, only his hairstyle was a little messed up due to the bumps.

Louis snapped his fingers to illuminate the dark space, and when he looked down, he saw Harry lying on the ground unconscious like a toad.

The guy dived into the pipe and probably landed on his face first.

He reached out his hand and touched Harry's nose, still breathing.

Fortunately, the savior classmate did not die.

"Selvio Hexia! (Safeguard)"

Unable to leave Harry lying here alone, Louis turned him over and used a peace spell to protect him temporarily.

Anyway, Old Deng is watching us.

He continued to grope forward. The dark and silent tunnel was so scary that he couldn't help but think of the horror movies he had seen in his previous life.

After walking a few steps, I was almost scared to death by my own imagination.

As we all know, the scariest thing in the world is always people scaring others, especially scaring themselves.

As he was walking, there was a sudden cracking sound from the ground, which scared him so much that his hair flew to the ceiling.

Looking down, I saw the skull of an unknown small rodent. Looking more closely, I saw that the ground in front was covered with densely packed animal bones.

Louis was sure that there were no human bones here because the bones were too small and looked like those of rats or something like that.

Continuing to walk forward and turning the corner in front of him, under the illumination of the light floating behind him, he saw a huge green snake skin, very bright, as if it had just been shed, coiled on the ground of the tunnel.

Obviously, the snake that shed its skin was a little bit huge. Louis estimated that the snake skin could accommodate Harry to continue diving.

This is an important alchemical material. Louis stuffed the huge snake skin into the system space without hesitation.

"This little fellow is so tiny." Lemonia's enchanting voice sounded in his ears.

Louis was stunned for a moment, he turned back to look at Lemonia: "You call that a little guy?"

Lemonia's sword swayed slightly twice, and she seemed unconcerned. There was a hint of joking in her voice: "The anacondas in Ardenweald are much larger than this one. The Queen of Winter once gave two to His Majesty Denathrius, but he later gave them to the traitor Renathal."

Louis shrugged and continued to move forward. After passing one bend after another, what was in front of him was no longer a bend, but a solid wall.

He walked over and took a closer look. There were two entangled snakes carved on the wall. Their eyes were inlaid with large, sparkling emeralds. They looked like they were alive, making the already ferocious coiled snakes look even more eerie.

Without a second thought, Louis transformed his staff into a sword, picked out the emeralds and put them into the system.

*Congratulations on getting a perfect emerald*4.

After he finished digging, he remembered that he should call Harry to use Parseltongue to open the wall.

sloppy.

"Alohomora!"

Louis pointed his staff at the wall and fired a stream of orange-red magic.

With a loud bang, a big hole was blasted in the wall by his spell, just big enough for him to pass through.

Good guy, it's pronounced as Alahodongkai and written as Pilibangbang, right?

Behind the wall was a long, dimly lit room, with many tall stone pillars supporting the dark ceiling, with large snakes engraved on them. It was indeed Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets, a place where even the aesthetics of Slytherin were at the extreme.

"Look who's here. Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets finally has a visitor?"

A sarcastic voice sounded, and Louis looked in the direction of the voice. There was a pool of water at the end. On the wall behind the pool, there was a huge face. It was an old, extremely thin face, with a sparse beard that almost dragged to the hem of the wizard's robe carved from stone. Two large gray feet stood on the smooth floor, and on one of the feet, sat Tifa with an obscure expression.

"Assistant Coach Tifa?" Louis asked tentatively.

"I didn't expect that half a year has passed and you still remember me, mortal." Tifa's voice suddenly became strange, as if several people were speaking at the same time, and surprisingly decent.

Yes, it has a very upright feeling, and it is hard to generate hostility from people.

"I think you should have noticed something was wrong with me a long time ago, Louis. You have to admit that at your age, no matter what kind of creature it is, it is difficult to reach the height you are at now."

Tifa said, closing her eyes slightly.

When he opened his eyes again, they were glowing with a light blue light.

"Blue-eyed demon?" Louis was stunned. He had thought of countless possibilities, from Hufflepuff's gold cup to Slytherin's pendant, or the reappearance of Schulzepuff, but no matter what, he never expected that the one in front of him would be a blue-eyed demon.

"Is it possible... that you made a mistake?" Tifa smiled, very beautifully and charmingly.

Louis held the wand tightly in one hand, and the other hand had already grasped the hilt of Lemonia's sword.

"I can see that you are very nervous, Master." Lemonia whispered, "Or maybe you have kidney deficiency. I think you should exercise some restraint."

"Nonsense, you have kidney deficiency..." Louis retorted subconsciously, and then realized that he might be too nervous, and his palms were sweating.

He raised his head, stared at Tifa, and asked coldly, "Where is Professor Lockhart?"

"Oh, you mean my good-for-nothing brother?" Tifa smiled softly with her hands covering her mouth. After a long while, she slowly said, "He... He was reborn in the belly of a snake..."

Louis suddenly thought of a possibility.

"You wouldn't... combine him with the snake... would you?" he asked hesitantly.

This kind of thing is not without precedent. In various legends, demons always like to combine humans with some ferocious animals to form a killing machine. The "Tifa" in front of him is very likely to do so.

"Oh, that won't happen." Tifa's expression was somewhat disgusted. "A fool like him who likes to show off, no matter what he combines with, the result will only be a piece of trash..."

"Here." Tifa raised her chin towards the distance. Louis looked in the direction and saw a gray-black pool. "It's a pity that this is a secret room and he can't play his final role. I think people like him can become fertilizer for your herbology class and that's the greatest contribution to the wizarding world."

Tifa's voice was cold, as if she was talking about someone who had nothing to do with her.

"But this should be a mistake I made. Ever since I let that poisonous snake swallow Lockhart, this little girl has begun to resist me."

"Really? It's so hard to find a body that's willing to let me possess it." Tifa's tone even had a hint of resentment.

"It seems that you are planning to kill to silence the witness." Louis narrowed his eyes and looked at Tifa.

"Oh, no, Louis." Tifa shook her head and denied, "I think you underestimated me a little. We never harm the skins, even if they know our secrets."

At this point, Tifa's smile blossomed, as warm as the spring sunshine.

"Whether you believe it or not, this is the rule that our father gave us. We cannot harm the... bodies that truly accept us, even if they are the most filthy humans. Ah, how ridiculous, for a bunch of monkeys like you, our father actually..."

Tifa's face twisted for a moment, then she returned to her warm smile: "Of course, I think there are many reasonable and compromise solutions. It seems that the eight-eyed giant spider deep in the forbidden forest can do it for us."

"I wish I could see with my own eyes how the snake would devour you, poor creature, but I have other things to do. Goodbye."

After Tifa finished speaking, she turned into a blue-white light and floated away above the secret room.

At this time, Harry also ran over from behind.

"Louis, Louis... Ha, you're not nice!" Harry complained breathlessly.

"There's no time to explain. Hurry up and call Ron and Hermione. Go find Hagrid and tell him that Assistant Instructor Tifa is in danger in Aragog's place. Quick!"

"But that monster..." Harry still couldn't forget the purpose of this trip, and the sense of mission given by history rose up.

Louis said anxiously, "Don't worry about your monster, Assistant Coach Tifa's life is in danger! It's urgent!"

"But how do I get up there..." Harry asked hesitantly.

Louis was also stunned. Yes, how the hell did he go up there…

A clear cry interrupted the two people's entanglement, and Fawkes flew over from a distance, holding the dirty Sorting Hat under his feet.

"You're just in time, Fawkes." Louis waited for Fawkes to fly closer, then quickly pulled Harry over and said, "Harry is in your hands. Take him to the Gryffindor Common Room, quickly!"

Fawkes nodded and grabbed Harry, carrying him in his paws like he was transporting cargo.

He also enjoyed the treatment of the Sorting Hat.

Harry suppressed his discomfort and said nothing. Fawkes' claws were quite sharp and tore his skin, but human life was at stake now, so he could not care about the pain.

Louis picked up the Sorting Hat from the ground, and the old hat greeted him when he saw him.

"Hi, Louis."

"Hey, isn't this an old hat?" Louis chuckled, reached into the hat, and pulled out a jewel-inlaid sword.

"It seems that you are really half Gryffindor." The old hat said in admiration, "But the old hat has a keen eye and sorted you into the more suitable Slytherin."

"If you hadn't told me, I would have forgotten about our celebration." When Louis mentioned this, he remembered the time when the old man made fun of him at the sorting ceremony.

"You should think like this, if you didn't go to Slytherin, would you still have everything you have now?"

The old man's words were thought-provoking. Louis thought about it and realized that if he hadn't gone to Slytherin, he wouldn't have been so close to his senior.

"Then I really have to thank you. I'll buy you some books later. I think you might become a poet." Louis shrugged and folded up the old hat and put it in his pocket despite his objection.

"Where's the snake?" Louis asked belatedly.

"If you were more sensitive, you might notice that something is wrong above our heads," said Lemonia.

Only then did Louis notice the energy shield that was constantly rippling.

He looked up and saw the energy shield making a crackling sound.

What a pair of eyes they were, they were like searchlights in this deep and dark environment.

The energy shield beeped again.

Energy Shield gained 100 proficiency and its level increased to 17.

It seems that this eye attack doesn’t do much damage, Louis thought to himself, not realizing that it was because his shield level was too high.

When I looked more closely, I saw a mass of liquid hitting the energy shield, causing ripples and flowing along the edge.

Oh, it was a huge snake, the basilisk of Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets, the culprit of the attack.

He looks a bit bigger than in the movies and the original novels. Maybe Tifa gave him some catalytic hormone?
This look...

Quite unique.

Seeing Louis' gaze, the basilisk seemed to be wondering why this two-legged beast would not die immediately after looking at him. After a while, he roared in a very martial manner, as if announcing that he was going to start attacking.

Louis held down Lemonia who was ready to attack.

"Do you want to keep it as a pet?" Lemonia asked doubtfully, and then persuaded: "Master, such an ugly thing as a pet is really not worthy of your noble status. At least it must be a pet like Ysera..."

Louis could tell that Lemonia praised him simply because she wanted to absorb the basilisk's mental energy.

The anima produced by twisted creatures like the basilisk is most suitable for Revendreth, especially its most outstanding creation.

"I just think that this basilisk is full of treasures. It would be a shame for you to chop off such a big creature." Louis looked at the basilisk in front of him and felt that it was not a basilisk, but a mobile, renewable treasure house of magic potion alchemy.

"But I'm really hungry, Master." Lemonia's voice was as hungry as it could be: "Please..."

"Don't be greedy. Such a good thing must be put to good use, Lemonia." Louis picked up Lemonia and gently stroked the spine of Lemonia's sword with his fingers.

"Hmm...ha, no, no, I'm not greedy anymore, Master..." Lemonia's voice was extremely strange, and the sword was vibrating at a high frequency with a buzzing sound.

Louis let her go, not caring at all about the basilisk still staring at him.

“Ha…ha…” Lemonia panted heavily, and after a while she asked, “Aren’t you afraid that the basilisk will suddenly attack you?”

"Oh, this serpent is special. It can't see things that are not moving." Louis shrugged. "It can't even see the smallest movements."

"Generally speaking, snakes hunt by sensing heat through infrared, but I have simulated my body temperature to be the same as the environment, so now he is blind." Louis stared at the basilisk in front of him without any worry... No, it's the big baby.
