Chapter 119 Treasure Hunt Game
The next day, Lockhart approached Mike again and interviewed him about the snake removal operation. After a night of calming down, Lockhart finally understood the situation in which he was being controlled by others, and his attitude was much better than before he left yesterday.
Mike also knew everything, and told Lockhart the whole story of the basilisk incident from the time Penello was petrified. Of course, there were some beautifications, such as the second attack of the basilisk. In his description, his escape behavior turned into a tactic similar to flying a kite.
Lockhart was also very cooperative with this. Mike said whatever he said, and the shorthand magic brush on the side kept writing. He also understands now that the novel he is currently writing is not written for himself at all. His current identity is at best a gunman, and it is still free.
However, this novel will eventually be published under Lockhart's name, so Lockhart will not be perfunctory, after all, it will be his own brand that will be destroyed.
It took Lockhart a whole day to collect all the materials he wanted from Mike. Seeing him looking so happy, as if he could write tens of thousands of words when he returned, Mike couldn't help but remind him:
"Don't write too fast. You must know that the heir to the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets has not been caught yet, and this matter is not over yet?"
"Oh! This is the first time I have heard someone ask me to write slower." Lockhart expressed surprise, "But don't worry, I have considered this matter. The book will be published this semester at the earliest." It won’t be finished until the end. If the heir hasn’t been caught by then, I’ll write another sequel. I can make another profit, so why not?”
"Okay, you are a professional in story writing, so you can make up your own mind. But don't forget the agreement. Your manuscript must be reviewed by me before it can be published!" Mike reminded again.
"I understand, you are the boss, I am just a wage earner." Lockhart said helplessly, "One more thing, I am planning to set up a dueling club. I heard that Professor Flitwick is a dueling champion, what do you think I am? How about going to him to get some scriptures?"
Mike rolled his eyes, knowing that Lockhart wanted to tell Professor Flitwick about this matter in his own name, otherwise Professor Flitwick would never get involved in Lockhart's mess.
"As long as you don't use my name, I'll do whatever you want."
Regardless of Lockhart still trying to convince himself, Mike returned to the Ravenclaw lounge after saying this.
At this time, the Ravenclaw lounge returned to its usual state. The students gathered together to eat snacks and chat. Some were still playing wizard chess, but these people deliberately lowered their voices because there were more. people are learning.
Mike walked around the lounge twice and finally found Franklin, who was playing wizard chess with others, and Penello, who was studying.
"Hey, you two come with me, I have something to tell you."
Penello and Franklin were both very confused, but out of trust in Mike they did not ask any more questions and followed Mike directly away from the crowd.
Mike led the two of them straight out of the Ravenclaw lounge. Only then did Penello ask: "Where are you taking us?"
"Are you finally going to take me on a night out?" Franklin said excitedly.
Mike sideways passed a senior sister who was walking towards the Ravenclaw lounge, watched her figure disappear at the entrance, and then said: "Shh! Don't talk, I want to take you to a good place, don't let anyone Found."
After hearing this, the two of them closed their mouths and stopped asking questions. Penello seemed a little worried. She had been attacked by a basilisk. She was now very disgusted with things like night walks, and was deeply afraid of being attacked by that person again. Attacked by an heir who was not caught. Franklin, on the other hand, is just the opposite. You can see how excited he is now from his shining eyes.
Under the surprised gazes of the two people, Mike pressed a stone tile on the wall, and heard the sound of a mechanism starting up, and the secret passage to the eighth floor of Hogwarts opened.
Mike took the lead and walked in, followed closely by Franklin, while Penello hesitated for a while before finally entering the secret passage.
Franklin and Penello were both using the secret passage for the first time. Even with fluorescent flashes and bright lights, they still felt a little scared in the dark and deep secret passage, so they didn't walk fast.
Fortunately, this secret passage that Mike often used may have some spatial mysteries, so although the Ravenclaw Tower was not close to the eighth floor of Hogwarts, the three of them quickly reached the end of the secret passage.
Quickly walking to the opposite side of the tapestry where the troll beat Barnabas silly, Mike walked back and forth three times while silently thinking that the library had opened the door to the Room of Requirements.
A door suddenly appeared on the originally empty wall, which made both Franklin and Penello open their mouths in surprise.
When I walked into the Room of Requirement, I saw dozens of huge bookshelves neatly arranged in a rectangular room. The bookshelves were filled with all kinds of books.
On the ceiling above the three of them, a huge crystal chandelier was emitting bright light. There was no electricity in Hogwarts, so Mike estimated that the energy source of this chandelier should be magic.
At the entrance is a leisure area. The orange flame in the fireplace is beating, exuding warm light. Sofa chairs and desks are neatly arranged. There are also various drinks and drinks on the bar next to the fireplace. dessert.
Seeing Franklin and Penello acting like country bumpkins entering the city for the first time, Mike couldn't help but smile. His expression when he first walked into the Room of Requirement was probably similar to the two of them.
When the two of them were almost finished being surprised, Mike clapped his hands and said, "Okay, come to your senses. You may already know where this place is. There are many documents in Hogwarts that have recorded this place, and this is the legendary place. Room of Requirement.
Countless people have discovered the Room of Requirement throughout history. According to common sense, the secret of the Room of Requirement should have been made public long ago, but they all chose to keep this secret, so the secret of the exact location of the Room of Requirement has only been kept to a small extent. Internally circulated. It's like a reward for those who are lucky, curious or patient.
I brought you here today because you are all people I think are trustworthy. I am willing to trust you unconditionally. I also ask you to keep this secret so that our younger generations can also participate in this event that has lasted for thousands of years. year’s scavenger hunt. "
