The Evil God of Hogwarts - Chapter 393 Snake Den

So who will be the sinner who opens Pandora’s box? Ellie asked herself, standing in front of the brick wall. After returning to the police station to arrange some things, she returned to the old Hawkins house alone.

What would Xing Ze do? The eldest lady asked again, and this time it had an answer – the madman would be happy to think that he had found the answer, and then open the wall without any scruples.

“Oh, let’s do it.” Miss Wizard took out the magic spell and whispered a few spells. After the spell, the brick wall began to move, and soon a medium-sized entrance appeared.

She didn’t want to get involved with anyone, not Scott or Yuri, those Muggles would only become a burden. This may be an arrogant statement, but at least they can save their lives. The letters and compiled materials she left behind will later help the Round Table complete this commission.

Now, she needed to go behind the wall and take a look, as a pioneer, as a scout, to find out as much useful information as she could.

After walking into the entrance, the brick walls returned to their original positions. Ellie turned around and cast a powerful sealing spell on the wall. This way, it would take some time for the snake man to get out from here.

Then, the eldest lady waved her wand again to give herself an owl’s eye, so that she could see things clearly in the dark.

It was a long tunnel. After carefully walking for a while – Miss Wizard estimated that it was more than a hundred steps away – she saw six remains, three of which had irons on their limbs. Quality shackles.

The remains of clothing on the bones looked like they were from colonial times. Most of the bones are mutilated, possibly caused by violence or insect infestation.

Dark vision allowed Ellie to miss no details. She discovered that there were torn marks and blood stains on the clothes, and there were dropped flintlocks and leather whips next to the three unshackled corpses.

Based on the information previously obtained, these human remains full of traces of time should be black slaves and overseers who were smuggled back then.

The eldest lady didn’t waste much time looking at the bones. She waved her wand, summoned a quill and paper and recorded everything she found. This information will help those who come after her, especially the terrain here, which is exactly the purpose of her sneaking in alone.

She was not stupid enough to challenge a den of snakemen alone. She was just here to explore the road, mark it, and collect information so that the subsequent formal investigation could go more smoothly.

Although the risk of doing so is extremely high, there is no way to get the tiger cubs if you don’t enter the tiger’s den. Of course, she was fully prepared. She sent letters to John and Edwin. So they would know where to find her.

In addition, she chose to come alone because it was easier to escape. The more people there were, the higher the safety, but it also meant that the risk of exposure would increase.

She has many tricks to save her life, such as Apparition, Chameleon Curse, Mist Curse, etc., but those Muggles don’t have any, so she can choose to let them die. After all, those who have the courage to enter here are ready to sacrifice.

But Ellie can’t guarantee that she can be cold-blooded enough to watch her companions die. Oh, how she wishes her heart is as cold as her appearance. In this case, she can accomplish a lot.

The wizard lady continued to move forward, and soon she discovered the changes in the wall. Ancient stones replaced the wall tiles, and there was some fishy smell in the breeze.

“River channel?” Ellie whispered softly. The Hawkins family wanted to smuggle black slaves through the water channel, so the slaves at the port would use boats to come along the Mersey River and reach the nearest drainage outlet.

What should have started here was an old drainage channel, and the brick wall built into it was a smuggling tunnel used by the Hawkins family.

The eldest lady stopped and thought for a moment, and seemed to feel that something was wrong. If the passage kept moving forward, it would only reach the drainage outlet.

But where is the snake man?

There must be something missing. With this thought, Ellie turned around and returned to the location of the six corpses. She looked around and soon found a few cigarette butts on the ground.

She squatted down around the cigarette butts and looked around. After thinking briefly, the wizard lady took out the magic spell and whispered the spell.

As the spell was gradually completed, the location where the brick wall was originally became blurred. Just when the spell was about to be completed, Ellie stopped suddenly, and then waved the wand in her hand quickly.

Finally, she successfully unlocked the spell and alarm, and a steady but dim light came from not far from the entrance. Ellie carefully cast the Chameleon Charm on herself and walked inside.

The winding passage led her to a huge room illuminated by phosphorescent lichens. Because the spell of the Owl Eyes was still there, even this dim light became a bit dazzling.

After thinking for a moment, the eldest lady removed her owl eyes and took a breath. The moist and sticky air was mixed with a fishy smell.

She carefully looked around and found that the strange words and patterns carved on the walls and natural stone pillars here were covered with moss, and most of these exquisite works of art had been damaged. The east wall has collapsed, and any carvings and information that once existed on it no longer exist.

Ellie understood that she had stepped into the snake man’s lair.

…

Xing Ze covered his slightly swollen forehead. He didn’t understand the situation at the moment, but his alert instinct prompted him to get up from the ground as quickly as possible. His hand on the ground touched something sticky, and the familiar feel gave him a bad premonition.

“What the hell.” Xing Ze cursed as he stood up.

He felt that he should be in a cave. A huge natural stone pillar occupied most of the space. This stone pillar was carved into the image of a huge and coiled snake. On the forehead of this giant snake, there was a White crescent moon symbol made of pale gemstones.

In front of the giant snake is a large altar stained with dark traces, decorated with complex geometric patterns and runes. Spherical golden incense burners sit on either side of the altar, all emitting clouds of fragrant smoke.

Jezebeth was lying not far from him, near the high altar, and she seemed not to be awake yet.

Xing Ze’s brain was working rapidly. He wanted to figure out how he got here. It seemed that the woman used some teleportation magic to teleport the two of them to the snake man’s cave.

“Ah~ I didn’t expect a distinguished guest to come today.” This hissing voice sounded from behind the giant snake, like an evil ghost demanding life, which made Xing Ze break into a cold sweat.

Is there a spell of fear added to the language? Xing Ze immediately saw through the other party’s little trick. Since the battle with Wax Youlian, he has rarely been so frightened.

But no matter what, if the opponent can use this kind of black magic, he must be a difficult opponent. Thinking of this, Xing Ze’s heart sank again.
