Chapter 144 The Essence of the Forbidden Book Area~
The days passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, several days had passed.

The young wizards tried their best to look for clues about the Chamber of Secrets, and even more people were reading books in the library.

However, the secret room was hidden very secretly. There were only a few words about it in a few remote books in the library. When it was found, it made people even more confused.

Ted even felt that if his senior Tom had not opened the Chamber of Secrets once when he was in school, resulting in the death of Myrtle, probably no one would have known about the Chamber of Secrets by now.

Originally, the matter of the secret chamber had been circulating within the Gaunt family. Later, the mentally ill members of the Gaunt family married within the family and even stopped going to school, so almost no one knew about it.

No one knows where Voldemort learned this secret.

Since they couldn't find it in the book, the curious little wizards naturally asked the professors.

Someone asked Professor Spence of Magic.

However, this ghost professor just read from the textbook every day, didn't care about your questions at all, and didn't even remember the names of a few students.

In the original book, it was Hermione who asked the question, and he still remembered the name of the top student, so he answered the question.

But now, the unknown student's question has not been answered at all.

"I think you should pay more attention to the history in books rather than those rumors. Student, please sit down~"

But if one person fails, there is another. The curiosity of the little wizards will not be dispelled so easily.

A third year Gryffindor asked Professor Flitwick this question.

Professor Flitwick was quite easy to talk to, and he ended by talking about some past rumors.

Because the secret room was opened once more than fifty years ago, some rumors have been passed down.

Within the morning, all the teachers and students in the school knew about the rumor about the secret room.

"Hey, did you hear? Slytherin placed a very dangerous curse in the Chamber of Secrets and wants the successor to clear the school of Muggle wizards!"

"I heard that even half-blood wizards will be killed!"

"Ah! I heard that any wizard who doesn't submit will be killed, and his soul will be enslaved after death!"

"That's not right. I heard that he wants his descendants to unify the magic world and become the emperor of dark magic!"

The rumor started to spread overnight, of course, because someone was fanning the flames.

Ted: Yes, it is me.
Ted released some ambiguous news and led the young wizards to think in a more evil direction, spreading rumors that sounded extremely outrageous.

Ted's purpose was simple.

The first thing is to fight rumors with rumors.

If this kind of rumor that is so ridiculous was not brought up, the news about the secret room would definitely be recognized by most people.

This is not good. Let's just treat it as a joke for now, so as not to cause panic.

And if the basilisk continues to commit crimes in the future, these exaggerated rumors will put pressure on Slytherin students.

By then, the three major colleges will definitely join forces to teach Snake College a lesson~
"Ding~ Complete the hidden task [Self-media (white)], and get 120 experience points as a reward."

The system thinks that Ted is already a mature self-media person~
Friends were also discussing this outrageous rumor enthusiastically.

Jerry: "If the heir wants to purify the school, he won't attack me, right?"

He pinched his two round ears: Mouse is so cute, how can I get rid of Mouse~
Neville also looked confused: "Will he not purge the wizards with poor grades as well? I tried my best!"

Harry and Hermione rolled their eyes.

Ted comforted him, "Don't worry. It won't happen."

"The pure-blood thing won't work. After all, being pure-blooded doesn't mean that the offspring will be outstanding. Look at Malfoy, who talks about his bloodline all the time. Can his results compare with Hermione's?"

"If we clear them out like this, then the only person left will probably be the heir."

Having said that, the wizarding world is indeed an extremely meritocratic society.

A very small number of elites drive the entire wizarding world forward, and the rest just make up the numbers.

What about the Dark Lord, the White Lord, the Big Four and so on.

The greatest contribution of ordinary wizards to the magical world is to continue their family line.

They couldn't even complete this task. Not having children often killed themselves. As a result, the number of wizards was decreasing.

Think about what contribution you have made to mankind? Probably, it is to enrich the diversity of mankind~
……

The enthusiasm of students and friends for the Chamber of Secrets far exceeded Ted's imagination. Every day, Ted had to study and practice magic, ponder alchemy and the making of strange objects, help the Weasley twins to figure out the research direction and overcome difficulties, and recently he was inspired to develop a new "potion".

I'm so busy, how can I have time to think about the secret room!
Besides, there is such a huge snake monster in there, how dangerous it is. Whoever wants to study it can do so.

But my friends don’t see it that way.

This is simply the biggest hot spot of the year, how can we miss it?
Even though Ted showed little interest, they still enjoyed the discussion, and Hermione even tried to find clues in the books.

But Ted's words gave them other ideas.

Harry asked, "Tell me, if Slytherin wants to choose an heir, who will it be? It can't be me, right?!"

Hermione closed the book. "He should be a Slytherin student too?"

Jerry poked Ron who was in a daze: "Hey, who among your pure-blood families is related to Slytherin?!"

His question hit the nail on the head.

Heir! If there is a blood relationship, then it is natural.

Ron rolled his eyes, "There are so many pure-blood families. They've been intermarrying for thousands of years, so they're all related. If that's the case, then me, Neville, and Harry are all related to Slytherin!"

Ron curled his lips: "Malfoy and I are related!"

Malfoy!
Yes! Malfoy!
Although Ted had just despised Malfoy's grades, when Harry and the others mentioned Slytherin students, the first person they thought of was Malfoy.

Harry looked as if there was only one truth: "Do you think Malfoy is the heir?"

Neville: "He has the motive!"

Jerry: "He's bad enough!"

"We have to try him!"

The friends think Malfoy is the most suspicious. Even if it is not him, he must know something!
Ted almost laughed when he heard this. Harley and the others only saw students in the same grade. Aren't those more outstanding senior students more worthy of suspicion?

But let them do whatever they want, so they don't have to look for the Chamber of Secrets. Malfoy is much safer than the basilisk.

Ted originally thought he could have some free time, but unexpectedly his friends found a job for him.

Harry said, "I once saw a potion that can turn you into another person. We can turn into Malfoy's followers and get him to tell us something!"

Ron and Neville looked at her: I have little education, don't lie to me
Jerry quickly asked, "What potion?"

"It's called Polyjuice Potion."

“How to make it?”

"……have no idea!"

Jerry looked helpless: I don’t know what you are so excited about?
Hermione said: "I know this potion. I remember it was recorded in a book."

"What book? I'll find it!" Jerry was very active.

He was really afraid that the heir to the Chamber of Secrets would eliminate him. Becoming a wizard was no longer just his business. All the hundreds of people in his family would benefit from it, and he must not be eliminated.

Hermione looked at Ted: "Powerful Potion, the book seems to be in the restricted section..."

Everyone looked at Ted.

Given the relationship between Ted and Lockhart, wouldn't it be easy to get the IOU from the restricted area?
Ted raised his hands in surrender: "Okay, I can get the book for you, but I can't help you with the brewing. It will take a month to brew. I have an important experiment recently, so let Hermione brew it."

He stopped Hermione from retorting: "Believe in yourself, you can do it."

……

At night, the bright moonlight shines into the library through the window, making it appear silvery white.

Ted, who was in invisible mode, bypassed several well-known magic traps, avoided the warning bronze statues that screamed and made noises when touched, and came to the restricted book area.

Of course he wouldn't go to Lockhart to ask for a book loan note.

There are so many books in the banned area, how many can I borrow?

Although Lockhart would definitely not care, it would be troublesome if other professors, mainly Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall, found out.

As a student at Hogwarts, isn't it natural to sneak a peek at the restricted area in the middle of the night?
If a son steals from his father, it is not considered stealing. But if a student steals a book, can that be considered stealing? That is stealing books.
Moreover, Ted has another mission——[Banned books are the essence of the library (red)].

Now that he has mastered the art of invisibility, and with the help of "detection magic", he can greatly avoid the harm caused by those dangerous magic books. Ted finally decided to take action on the restricted book area!
