Chapter 636: The true face of Hufflepuffs Chamber of Secrets!
"Sean! We all forgot! Nepenthes resurrectalis needs warm sunlight to keep growing!"
Sean was stunned for a moment by Hermione's words, and then he also reacted.
Yes, this is an underground cave, so there is no warm sunlight.
The natural light of fireflies here gave Sean an illusion, and he never thought about the source of the light.
And a rare herb like Nepenthes resuscensus should not be planted on the outer walkway of a secret room...
The way he got here was through the food transfer magic in Hogwarts. In fact, he took a shortcut that no one else could take, because before him, no one had invented the trajectory flicker that could be used in Hogwarts.
The magic of teleportation - this is something that the founder, Ms. Hufflepuff, probably would not have thought of.
That is to say...
Sean and Hermione looked at each other and said in unison: "This is the secret room!"
Yes, that's right, Sean is struggling to find a way to enter the Hufflepuff Chamber of Secrets, but in fact, where they are now is probably the inside of the Chamber of Secrets.
There is no way to enter the door in front of you. That's because the clue to enter, or the keyhole to open the door... is actually outside the door!
Daisy was startled by the sudden amplification of their voices. She looked over in confusion: "Huh?"
While pacing in place, Sean explained: "We did not enter through the correct way. We are already inside the secret room, so there are no mechanisms or magic spells near the door here."
"But didn't we come from the other end? That end is blocked." Daisy asked doubtfully.
"No, it's not blocked!" Hermione also became excited. "This is unreasonable. We came from there, but there was no entrance or exit. In our eyes, there was a huge Cage of Resurrection growing at the end of the cave.
grass, so we subconsciously assume there is no passable space there."
"Combined with the food problem that occurred at Hogwarts last time, it is obvious that this is something that Ms. Hufflepuff did not expect when she created this magic - she left so many tableware, so logically she should have thought,
The food on the tableware will briefly enter the Hufflepuff Chamber of Secrets for sorting during the transfer process, but the food still reverses its status?"
Sean continued: "This is not the reason why Ms. Hufflepuff did not expect that Hogwarts will welcome a huge number of students in the future, but that she did not expect another point..."
Hermione said eagerly: "She didn't expect that her secret chamber had not been opened for thousands of years, and that the Nepenthes resurrectalis, which should have been growing normally, had been accumulating magic power for thousands of years - there were usually no injured magical animals here.
to treat it, so there is no hindrance to its growth.”
Daisy also reacted at this moment: "So... the Nepenthes resurrectalis has grown too big?"
Sean nodded: "That means...the entrance is blocked."
This discovery is even a bit comical for Sean's search for answers these days - but that's the reality.
They returned to the Cage of Resurrection. At this time, the magic potion that Sean had just sprinkled began to take effect. Even if they did not feel the flow of magic with all their heart, they could still observe the huge under the Cage of Resurrection with their naked eyes.
Blue light group.
"Merlin's beard... Damn it, it's so big..." Even if he had imagined it, the rhizomes of this Nepenthes resurrectata in the ground exceeded Sean's imagination.
If the underground rhizome of the ordinary Nepenthes resurrectans is the size of a bedroom, this one is probably the size of the Wallops' villa.
The blue light spread from the underground, beyond the distance of the cave, forming a huge root mass below it.
Daisy and Hermione looked at each other. The latter walked to the edge of the cave and observed while saying: "We must dig out part of the rock formations on both sides, and then use deformation and collapse spells to clear out all the soil near the roots, and finally directly
Move this giant... um, ball of mud?"
Sean silently calculated the size. It was not difficult to clean up the surrounding soil and dig it out slowly. There were three of them, so it only took a while. The main difficulty was how to transfer it.
The cave is actually not too small, but it is only for the size of the wizard. Normally, if you want to transplant such a large plant, it must be done in an open-air environment. But can it be dug here?
First of all, it is still uncertain, and secondly, this place is already part of the Hufflepuff Chamber of Secrets. If the rock formations above are rashly cleared, it is likely to cause a collapse and the secret chamber will be directly buried in it.
It was embarrassing now.
Sean and Hermione both thought about the problem, but after all, this place is underground and the difficulty of operation is too high.
The best way is for Sean to open the entrance of the ring to the maximum extent (don't worry about this, he has already prepared it), and then let dozens of wizards control the whole plant of resurrection plant to slowly float into the ring, and at the same time
, another group of wizards will continue to fill the vacated space below.
However, the space here obviously does not support this operation-unless Sean completely hollows out the upper floor.
Well, that basically means Hogwarts can be dismantled...
While Sean was thinking hard, Xiao Baihua suddenly came up with an idea: "Our goal is to put this big guy into Sean's ring together with the roots and soil below, right?"
Sean and Hermione nodded together.
"Sean, do you have enough space for the entrance of your ring? I mean the size below, it feels bigger than the foundation of my house."
Sean replied: "That's no problem, I've been prepared for it a long time ago, and in order to allow the two black dragons to come in and out more freely, I've specially expanded it - by the way, I've also been prepared in the ring.
.”
His current ring space is almost half the size of Hogwarts, so there is no problem in finding an area to plant Nepenthes resurrectalis.
Daisy blinked: "Can such a huge thing float using a levitation spell?"
Sean frowned and said: "A single magic spell is unrealistic, but the floating spell can be superimposed on a huge object. There are three of us. We can prepare a large number of floating spells in advance, and then each stand in a position to control the force. It is not a big problem."
"Isn't that good?" Daisy said with a look on her face, "What are you struggling with?"
Sean said helplessly: "We have no way to dig it out now. After all, the space above here is too small. Forced digging may cause collapse, and the secret room will be completely destroyed."
Daisy wondered: "But why do we have to pull out the Nepenthes resurrectalis like the mandrake?"
"Huh?" Neither Sean nor Hermione responded.
Daisy gestured to the Nepenthes resurrectalis: "We have to dig it out anyway, so let's clear out all the soil and rock below, open the entrance and exit of the ring at the bottom, and let it sink slowly before it falls.
Got into the ring?"
"Ah..." Sean was stunned, yes, why didn't he think of it...
If you think about it carefully, this operation is the correct method!
Both he and Hermione started with the most orthodox and "correct" ideas, but instead fell into ruminations, just like Sean had been looking for a way to enter the secret room before.
Xiao Baihua's ideas were wild and unconstrained, but she found a simple method more easily.
"Daisy, you are such a genius!" Hermione kissed Daisy's cheek excitedly, making the latter blush.
Once you have a feasible idea, the next implementation will be much simpler.
Sean took out his wand and touched the stone walls on both sides of the cave. After carefully knocking off a piece, he confirmed: "You can dig in from the edge, without considering the top - of course, for the sake of stability, we will create some space as soon as we dig down."
A structure for support.”
As he spoke, he poured out a large pile of steel plates from the ring.
Taking into account the excavation process, he had already prepared the steel plate. Now he only needed to use the transformation technique to change its shape. This operation was basically not difficult for wizards of their level.
Just do what they say, each of the three people is responsible for one side, and according to the guidance of the blue light group, they dig towards the outermost edge.
This Nepenthes resuscensus plant is indeed astonishing. Even with the wizard's work efficiency, it took them a whole afternoon. If it were left to an ordinary construction team, the time would probably be ten times longer.
By the time all preparations were made, the entire area around the rhizome of the Nepenthes resurrectalis plant had been hollowed out.
Somewhat strangely, the side blocked by the Nepenthes resurrectalis should be the real entrance to the secret chamber in Sean's original idea. When digging, the soil on that side also needed to be cleared - he originally planned to dig through the ground.
, but what I didn't expect was that the blue light group did not extend there, just like a plant growing close to a wall and its roots could not penetrate deep.
There must be something strange there. After all, the sunlight needed for the growth of Nepenthes resurrectalis can only appear on that side.
During this period, Sean also wanted to dig directly underground, but there was a layer of enchanted stone slabs above, which made Sean afraid to act rashly.
However, the excavation of the entire Nepenthes resurrectans went smoothly. Although it was huge and terrifying, with the cooperation of three people, it had become a state waiting for transplantation.
Standing next to the steel structure that fixed the surrounding soil, Sean and others looked up at the roots of this huge plant and clicked their tongues repeatedly.
Now, under the effect of the floating spell they cast, a huge ball of mud floats quietly underground.
"This Nepenthes resurrectalis must have mutated, otherwise why would it be so exaggerated?" Hermione sighed.
Sean nodded in agreement, there seemed to be no limit to the growth of this thing.
However, everything is ready and it's time for transplantation.
Sean stood alone at the bottom. He placed the ring in the center under the mud ball to open the entrance, and a huge hole appeared.
Inside the ring, the magical animals looked over curiously. Sean stood on the edge and waved his hand: "Get out of the way quickly. I don't care if you are buried later."
After the curious babies dispersed, Sean gave himself a loud voice: "Ready, where are you?"
The voices of Hermione and Daisy came from far away: "Okay~~~"
The two of them were responsible for slowly canceling the magic of the levitating spell and letting the whole plant sink slowly. At the same time, Sean also gave each of them a ring - it was also a prop for casting the space expansion spell. There was nothing in it, only stones.
Blocks and dirt.
This can fill the huge mud hole after transplanting the Nepenthes resurrectalis.
"It's time to start -" Sean shouted, and then jumped into the ring. He was responsible for the speed and direction of the entire mud ball's fall.
With a loud noise, the entire plant began to slowly fall.
"Okay - okay - okay - Hermione, please slow down - Daisy, hurry up and remove the two levitation spells - okay, okay, come on, you can dump the soil -"
Sean feels like a subject two teacher...
However, everything went smoothly. Finally, with the withdrawal of the last few floating spells, the resurrection plant fell into the big hole that had been dug in Sean's ring (real name thanks to the two black dragons for their great efforts.)
"Boom -" A heavy muffled sound echoed throughout the ring, and all the people and magical animals heaved a sigh of relief.
The air-winged bird holding the magic sun flew over, trying to get into the leaf chamber on the surface of the Nepenthes succulent.
Sean quickly grabbed its tail. This idiot was really brave. If he went in without being injured, according to the magic power of this resurrection plant, it would take less than half an hour for this idiot to turn into the shape of an egg again.
"You are absolutely not allowed to enter that leaf room without my permission." After sternly staring at each magical animal, Sean gave up.
Returning to the ground along the reserved passage, Sean and the others looked towards the direction that had been blocked while filling in the nearby potholes.
Sure enough, a wider passage had appeared there, and at the same time, sunlight was shining through that direction, bright and warm.
"Recover as before -" After doing everything, Sean looked at the sunshine there, "Sure enough, this is the inside of the secret room. That should be the light of the magic sun, right?"
But Daisy couldn't wait any longer. She held their hands and said, "Hurry up, hurry up, Hufflepuff's secret room is waiting for us!"
Sean and Hermione smiled at each other and strode forward.
Sure enough, after passing the section of Nepenthes resurrected, the ground began to turn into a magical floor. After a little exploration, Sean was glad that he had not acted rashly. The magical structure here was integrated. If a stone slab was dug out, the entire magical structure would be destroyed. There will be disconnections.
The space created by these magical structures is obviously for all the plants here.
On both sides of the stone road, there are flower pots and flower beds of different sizes. As far as you can see, they are all herbs in excellent growth condition, and all of them are rare varieties.
"Professor Sprout will go crazy when he sees this -" Hermione said with emotion.
Sean also nodded, and then said thoughtfully: "It seems that the fact that these plants can survive for so long has a lot to do with the magic structure here."
"Yes, I even suspect that the resurrection plant may be used to maintain the state of these herbs, coupled with unique magic."
Several people sighed as they walked to the deepest part of the secret room, and then let out exclamations at the same time.
