Dumbledore and Ethan looked at each other, neither expecting Dobby to be so brave.
Ethan followed Dobby, ready to jump into the pipe.
Looking down the dark pipe, Ethan felt a sense of fear in his heart for no reason. The witcher's fear of heights was almost engraved in his genes.
Seeing Dumbledore and Myrtle looking at him suspiciously, Ethan could no longer delay, so he had to get into the pipe slowly, then let go and let himself slide down.
Ethan felt himself going down a dark, sticky, never-ending slide.
He could see that many other pipes were branching out in all directions, but none were as thick as this one. This one was tortuous, winding around and around, and the walls were very steep.
Ethan understood that he had been sliding for some time, and this time was tough. Ethan would rather face the situation in Knockturn Alley once than continue with this.
After sliding for a while, Ethan felt that the walls of the water pipe were gradually smoothing out. He knew that this meant that the pipe outlet was about to be reached. With a puff, Ethan emerged from the mouth of the pipe.
The good news is that Ethan did not fall, and a soft object cushioned Ethan's fall.
The bad news is that the soft thing screamed in agony, and Ethan got up immediately after hearing the scream, only to realize that he was on top of Dobby.
"It's alright, I'm alright!" Dobby crawled up, and to prove he was healthy, he patted his skinny chest hard, making a thumping sound.
After a while, Dumbledore also came down. Ethan was waiting to see the joke of Dumbledore's embarrassed fall to the ground. He didn't expect Dumbledore to show a vigorous athlete who disagreed with his age and stood up quickly. On the ground, much to Ethan's disappointment.
Ethan glanced at the surrounding environment. It was a dark stone tunnel, big enough for people to stand in.
The surroundings were dark, and he could only see a small distance ahead. Based on the time he had just slipped, Ethan had already concluded that he was deep underground.
Ethan took out three bottles of cat potions. The cat potions could give the user the ability to have night vision.
Dumbledore originally wanted to use the magic spell to illuminate, but when he saw the potion Ethan handed him, he thought for a while and drank Ethan's potion anyway.
Suddenly, Dumbledore felt like a faint fluorescent light appeared around him, and the just dark environment could now be seen entirely.
"Ethan, many times I have to admire the whimsy of the magicians in your world." Dumbledore sighed.
When Dobby took the cat potion, he couldn't wait to drink it. He looked at the brightened environment in his eyes and screamed repeatedly.
The three carefully walked through the dark and long tunnel.
The tunnel underground is full of mud. The footsteps of Dumbledore and Dobby are particularly obvious in the dark and long tunnel, while Ethan makes no sound. During the witcher's training, silent walking was one of the most essential skills.
It didn't take long for the gurgling sound to become a crackling sound, and Ethan found that the ground was full of bones of small animals, and this basilisk survived by eating these things.
Ethan took the lead, turning a dark bend in the tunnel.
"Mr. Ethan, there's something there!" Dobby said tremblingly, pointing to a vast black shadow before him.
Ethan saw the silhouette of a coiled behemoth lying motionless on the other side of the tunnel.
Dumbledore and Ethan were very calm, but Ethan didn't hear the creature's heartbeat with his demon-hunting senses.
Sure enough, it was a giant snake skin, green and bright, and at first glance, it looked like the skin of a poisonous snake, coiled and lying on the ground of the tunnel, and it was empty inside. The animal that shed the skin was at least twenty feet long.
Ethan scratched the snake's skin curiously with his hands and then slashed it lightly with the dagger he carried. The snake's skin was immediately irritated with a big hole. There is no use value.
It's a pity for Ethan; he has long wanted to wear armor made of basilisk skin, but it's a pity that such a significant snakeskin is.
The three then proceeded along the tunnel. The tunnel turned one turn after another, and finally, the three carefully turned another turn and found a solid wall standing in front of them.
It was engraved with two intertwined snakes, with large, gleaming emeralds in their eyes.
Dumbledore stepped forward and carefully observed the snakes on the wall. These two snakes were carved very carefully, and with the eyes of two emeralds, they looked like they were alive.
"Open," Dumbledore said in a low, hoarse hiss.
The two snakes separated; the stone wall cracked from the middle, slowly slipped to the sides, and disappeared, immediately revealing a dark and deep space.
Ethan looked curiously at Dumbledore, who spoke Snake Language. He only knew that Snake Language was a talent brought by blood, but he didn't expect Dumbledore to do it.
Dumbledore seemed to see Ethan's doubts, smiled, turned back, and explained: "Snake language can be learned, Ethan; if you want, you can find time to come to me after you go out."
Ethan nodded. He was interested in Snake Language. There was no harm in learning it.
Behind the wall is a long, dimly lit room, with many stone pillars carved with entangled serpents, towering to support the ceiling that dissolves in the darkness of the heights, casting long lines on the whole room filled with green, mysterious, and mysterious—a long, eerie shadow.
Ethan drew his long sword and strolled between the stone pillars coiled by the giant snake. When he reached the parallel with the last pair of stone pillars, a statue as tall as the room appeared before him, clinging to the back and darkening On the wall.
On the wall was an enormous face, an old, monkey-like face, a long, sparse beard that dragged almost to the hem of the stone wizard's robe, and two prominent, gray figures. The feet stand on the smooth floor of the room.
Dumbledore stopped between the towering stone pillars and stared silently at the face of the Slytherin stone statue hidden in the darkness.
"Ethan, it looks like this is Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets." Dumbledore looked at Ethan and said.
"What do you want me to do? Kill this snake? I can do it." Ethan shook a beautiful sword flower and said to Dumbledore.
Ethan thought he had finally given up on the utterly stupid plan made through that prophecy.
"No, Ethan, let Harry handle this basilisk. I need you to control the basilisk with the Axii Sign to ensure Harry's safety during the adventure," Dumbledore explained.
