Chapter 171: Entrance to the Secret Room

Rolf followed Hufflepuff's advice and did not go to Ravenclaw Tower. It was not that he did not want to, but that he did not dare... He was afraid that Ravenclaw would break three legs.

He did not go to Hufflepuff's common room, but slept in the Room of Requirement for one night.

The next day, Rolf went to the kitchen to eat breakfast first, and then hurried to the Charms classroom.

After seeing the boy appear, the noisy room just now suddenly became quiet, and everyone looked up and stared at him.

After a night of investigation, everyone has basically confirmed that he is not a Hogwarts student.

Because... No one in the four colleges knows him.

But the students are privately spreading that he is the son of Salazar Slytherin.

Otherwise, how could this mysterious boy speak like a snake, and how could he have such amazing strength?

He must have been taught by Slytherin himself!

If anyone says that he is not Slytherin's son, Lai Strange, who was beaten and hospitalized, will be the first to disagree...

So, is the man who has been away from school for many years finally coming back?

The students of Slytherin were very excited. After seeing Rolf, they wanted to ask him about Slytherin.

But after the boy entered the classroom, he narrowed his eyes, looked around, and walked straight to Cassandra who was sitting in the last row in full view of everyone.

Cassandra was eating bread when she found that everyone was looking at her, and many witches showed jealous eyes.

It was the first time that Cassandra was stared at by so many eyes. She choked directly, burped twice in succession, and then quickly straightened her chest and patted her chest hard with her hands.

Rolf also walked over quickly and reached out to help Cassandra pat her chest.

This is his only hope to go back now, so he can't choke to death.

Cassandra blushed and asked hurriedly, "What's the matter?"

"Well, this is not the place to talk, come with me."

The boy turned and left, and Cassandra followed him out under the murderous eyes of the witches.

Rolf took Cassandra all the way to the second floor. He habitually wanted to go to Myrtle's bathroom, but after a circle, he couldn't find it.

"There should be a bathroom here?" Rolf was a little confused.

"Are you having a fever? There is no bathroom here at all." Cassandra shook her head and said, "It's just a corridor all the time."

Rolf didn't continue to struggle. He said in a deep voice, "I want you to help me with divination."

"Divination?" Cassandra pursed her lips and suddenly smiled, "My price is very expensive. It takes ten tokas."

Tokas are the currency of wizards in this era. Rolf didn't have any at all. He did have some galleons on him, but this kind of magic currency made by fairies was not circulated in this era.

Rolf glanced around carefully, and then handed the "heirloom" he bought for a thousand galleons to Cassandra.

He lowered his voice and said, "I'll pay with this."

Cassandra took the books. She didn't think much of it at first, but after flipping through them, she suddenly became excited and asked:

"Where did you get these books?"

"It's a secret. I just want to ask if it's enough for you to pay me." Rove smiled.

"It's enough!" Cassandra quickly wrapped up the books carefully. She was short of books recently and wanted to read the follow-up content.

But the dog author wrote too slowly. She didn't expect Rove to have a follow-up here. She was too excited.

Cassandra licked her lips and asked, "What do you want to predict?"

"I want to know the exact location of something." Rolf quickly described, "That thing is called the Stone of Destiny, it is pale yellow in color and rectangular in shape.

The Muggle king of Scotland would stand on that stone to be crowned, and it was later stolen by goblins."

"The Stone of Destiny?" Cassandra frowned and said, "Was it stolen by goblins?"

"Yes." Rolf said solemnly, "Can you predict?"

"Let me try first." Cassandra took out a ball of sweet mallow from her pocket, held it in her hand, rubbed her fingers gently, and the flame suddenly burned.

The dim flame licked Cassandra's arm, but she was unmoved, black smoke rose, tumbling and twisting.

Rolf whistled, and this move alone was enough to bluff people.

Cassandra observed the flames quietly. After observing for a long time, she frowned and said:

"I saw a valley. At the entrance was a giant goblin statue holding a sword in his hand. There was a huge pyramid-like building in the valley... The stone you are looking for is in that valley."

Rove pondered and said, "Is there no more specific location?"

Cassandra shook her head and said, "I can't see clearly."

"What does it mean to see clearly?"

"A pile of lit bonfires, the flames change and never stop, it will cast a dozen shadows on the ground.

It's just that some shadows are deep, and some shadows are more vague than others."

Cassandra explained:

"The deepest shadows are often the location, but the distance is too far, or there is magic interference, causing it to be as dim as other shadows.

I can't tell which one is the shadow we are looking for now."

"Then how can the shadow be clear?" Rove asked.

"We need to go to that valley." Cassandra replied: "Only by observing closely can the shadow be clearer."

Rove was silent for a moment and asked: "Then do you have time to go with me?"

Cassandra exclaimed, surprised:

"We still have to go to class, how can we go to the kingdom of fairies?"

"You don't listen to the class anyway, you are reading other books." Rove smiled and said, "You also divined the final exam papers by yourself. Does it affect you whether you go to class or not?"

"..."

Rove stretched out his hand and asked, "If you don't want to go, return the book to me."

"Oh, don't." Cassandra frowned. The book must not be returned. She said in embarrassment:

"Even if I am willing to go, Professor Ravenclaw will not agree."

"It's okay, I will help you with Ravenclaw." Rove said confidently, "She will definitely agree to me."

"You are not really Slytherin's son, are you?" Cassandra asked curiously.

"Guess?" Rove smiled.

Cassandra narrowed her eyes, "I can go with you, but you have to pay extra."

"What reward?"

Cassandra's eyes were as bright as a light red candle. She stared at the boy and said seriously: "You have to tell me who you are."

Rolf hesitated for a moment and said softly: "No problem, but we have to find the stone of destiny first."

Cassandra hugged her book and smiled. She stretched happily and said: "I will go back to class first."

Rolf nodded. He did not leave. He still stood there, trying to think about why there was no Myrtle bathroom here.

The boy suddenly remembered that the basilisk had told him... In the eighteenth century, Corvinus Gaunt built a complex pipe system to hide the secret room.

He also built a bathroom and hid the entrance to the secret room in it.

Before that, the entrance to the secret room was hidden behind a hidden trap door.

Rolf could enter the secret room as long as he found the trap door.

In this era, apart from Slytherin, no wizard has ever come into contact with the basilisk.

As long as Rolf awakens the basilisk, he can be sure whether it is Slytherin's... Horcrux!
