Chapter 327 Treasure Hunt in the Secret Room

Richard flew through the sky quickly with the flying magic carpet he had just made. He was going to measure the data of the flying magic carpet.

On the balcony of the principal's office, Dumbledore looked at the magic carpet in the sky with a hint of surprise. He originally thought that the rune cloth was used to make wizard robes, but he didn't expect Richard to make a magic carpet.

After seeing the magic carpet, Dumbledore planned to make a magic carpet after weaving the rune cloth. Those merchants who made magic brooms never considered the body of an old wizard in his eighties or nineties.

With the magic carpet, a red and comfortable way of flying, there is no need for flying broom dogs.

The sales of magic wands in the magic world have plummeted recently, while the sales of the newly appeared magic rings have skyrocketed, and a large number of wizards have bought magic rings. The appearance of the magic ring has greatly facilitated wizards. After all, wizards can wear rings for 24 hours, but they can't hold the magic wand for 24 hours.

And there is another key factor, - the magic of disarming is ineffective against the magic ring.

The magic wand is a weapon, while the magic ring is not a weapon, but an ornament. Unless the magic world develops a spell to remove the ornament, it cannot prohibit other wizards from casting spells.

Richard experimented with the flying magic carpet and it flew past quickly, reaching subsonic speed very quickly, and the altitude reached tens of thousands of meters.

Although the flying magic carpet was very fast, it was very stable on the magic carpet. Richard was making tea while enjoying the scenery below.

The temperature of the flying magic carpet was constant, and even if the outside temperature was frozen, it would not be affected here. The flying magic carpet flew at subsonic speed, and it could even see planes flying under the magic carpet.

This was not its maximum speed. In fact, it could continue to accelerate and fly up to about ten times the speed of sound, but this speed consumed a lot of energy and lasted for a short time. Subsonic speed was the most economical and practical speed.

After Richard circled the blue star, the energy of the flying magic carpet was almost one-fifth consumed. Richard returned to Hogwarts in a good mood.

During this period of time, Richard had almost finished reading the books in the library, so he planned to go to the Chamber of Secrets in Hogwarts and capture the basilisk.

The magical creature of the basilisk is quite good. It not only has the Eye of Death, but also has the ability to petrify. It is a perfect weapon for group battles. However, although the basilisk is powerful, it is perfectly restrained by the phoenix.

Its Eye of Death and petrification are ineffective against the phoenix.

Richard put away the magic carpet and began to wander around the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. There are magical restrictions in many places in the school, and some of the restrictions hide the Chamber of Secrets.

Some chambers of secrets have been completely abandoned, even Dumbledore didn't know, but some chambers of secrets are in use, and some chambers of secrets are used as storage rooms.

Just as Richard was looking for the chamber of secrets, a Peeves came out from nowhere.

"Who are you? What are you looking for here?"

"Aha, I see, you're a thief!"

"Peeves!" Richard looked at the ghost with pointy ears in front of him. This ghost is a peeves, who likes to play pranks or laugh at others. The IQ is about twelve years old, and basically it will not increase, so it will always be a hateful bear child.

Therefore, this ghost is called a peeves. Many little wizards have been teased by this ghost. Peeves are not good at casting spells, but they have the ability to fly and pass through walls. They also have some simple illusions and light spells that are not very harmful, but very insulting.

Because of this ability, the little wizards can't do anything about them. In fact, the way to deal with this kind of peeves is very simple, just beat the bear child.

"Ah!"

The miserable scream sounded, and the peeves in front of him had not started its pranks, and Richard picked up a stick and hit it and flew away.

The magic power of the stick directly invalidated Peeves' ability, and he fell heavily on the wall, turning into a poster.

But Peeves was not convinced, and quickly found a stick and flew around Richard, trying to confuse Richard in this way and then launch a sneak attack.

"Bang!"

A muffled sound sounded again.

Peeves flew far away and stuck to the wall again.

Don't look at Peeves' small size, but he is still very durable.

After two consecutive heavy blows, his body was twisted in pain. Peeves was immediately beaten honestly, and his eyes turned to Richard with fear.

"Do you want to be obedient, or do you want me to beat you again and then be obedient?" Richard held the stick in one hand and gently tapped it with the other hand in a rhythmic manner.

"I'm obedient, I'm obedient, don't hit me anymore! 嘤嘤嘤!" Peeves became very honest.

"Well, take me to the secret room here!" Richard said directly.

These Peeves have lived in Hogwarts for a long time, and they have the ability to pass through walls, so they know more about Hogwarts than Dumbledore.

Soon, under the leadership of Peeves, Richard began to enter these secret rooms to search. Soon he came to a secret room, which was piled with a lot of sundries and looked messy.

The space of the secret room was about 100 square meters, and the room was covered with dust. It seemed that no one had been in it. There were some sundries and some old magic books in the room.

Some magic books were even eaten by insects, and Richard took them out. Among these magic books, there were books introducing the history of the magic world, recording spells, and some books that were not available in the library.

Richard used the repair technique to repair the magic books, and then put them away to go back and read them.

Next, Richard came to the Room of Requirement in Hogwarts. This secret room is said to be able to answer any request, but in fact it does not meet the conditions of answering any request. However, in this room, a gem crown is preserved.

Ravenclaw's crown.

Richard quickly found the crown in the room. The crown was made of a silver metal. Even after hundreds of years, it still looked as bright and clean as new. The whole crown looked like a bird with its wings spread out, and the two wings were bent downward. There were several silver metals connected on the wings.

In the middle of the crown, there was a gem the size of a quail egg, which looked very beautiful.

This Ravenclaw's golden crown was originally a magic crown left by Ms. Rowena Ravenclaw. At the beginning, she cast a spell on this crown to increase the wisdom of the wearer.

And there was a line of words engraved on the edge of this crown-'Extraordinary wisdom is the greatest wealth of mankind. ’

However, this crown was later made into a Horcrux by Tom Marvolo Riddle, that is, Voldemort, who hid a part of his soul in this crown.

As a result, the person wearing this crown will be affected by Voldemort's soul, or even replaced by Voldemort.

Of course, for others, this crown is very dangerous, but for Richard, the master of playing with souls, this soul fragment is just another dish for him.

Richard picked up the crown and immediately felt a voice ringing in his ears. This voice was full of temptation and wanted him to wear this crown. The voice kept telling him that if he wore this crown, he would gain infinite knowledge and become the smartest person in the world.

Hearing this, Richard curled his lips.

"You said you have supreme wisdom and knowledge, so can you solve the Goldbach conjecture?"

Voldemort:

"What do you mean you can't? If you can't even solve the Goldbach conjecture, then what use do I have for you!"

- [Soul extraction! 】

A ray of light instantly sank into the crown of Ravenclaw, and then a stream of soul energy was seen being extracted by magic.

——【Soul Binding! 】

Another ray of light flashed, and the soul that was forcibly extracted was immediately bound by powerful magic. Soon all the soul power was extracted from the golden crown of Ravenclaw,

A soul with a bare head, no nose and only two nostrils appeared in front of him.

After seeing Richard, this soul struggled desperately, but under the effect of Soul Binding, it could not move at all.

——"Memory Extraction!"

Richard shot out a ray of light, and the struggling Voldemort's soul was instantly stagnant. The next second, countless memories were extracted. Richard asked his system to record all of Voldemort's memories, and then let the system sort them.

The memories of magic in Voldemort's memory were extracted, and the rest were turned into a book and saved for easy viewing.

Then Richard waved his hand gently, and another ray of light flashed.

——【Soul Shock! 】

Originally, Voldemort's soul was shattered in an instant, his consciousness was directly wiped out, and his soul turned into countless soul fragments, which were then fed to Richard's personal auxiliary system.

Richard destroyed one of the seven Horcruxes prepared by Voldemort.

After devouring Voldemort's soul, Richard began to check the Ravenclaw's crown in his hand.

[Item: Ravenclaw's Crown; Level: Legendary Level 1

Function: It stores all the knowledge and wisdom of Ravenclaw. Wearing this crown can gain her knowledge.

Attributes: Wisdom +5 (up to 24 points) Perception +3 (up to 18).

Wearing the crown can gain wisdom and quick thinking. 】

The effect of this crown is not bad. It is a legendary item. It can be worn to increase wisdom. For a wizard, this thing is very precious. But for Richard, it is no longer useful. His wisdom has returned to the level of his previous life, reaching 43 points.

At this level of wisdom, basically, except for artifacts, there is no item that can increase his wisdom. He used the wishing spell many times to increase his wisdom. Just for this, he gave more than thirty legendary soul crystals to the elemental gods.

But it was worth it. His super high wisdom greatly improved his speed in analyzing the laws.

Although this crown was of no use to him, he planned to enchant it again to make the effect of this item stronger. He could give it to Madison, Anna, Cathaway and others when he didn't use it.

This kind of crown that increases wisdom is very convenient for learning magic.

After getting the Ravenclaw's golden crown, Richard left the Room of Requirement and went to other secret rooms. Soon he found the target of this time in one of the secret rooms.

Basilisk.

Basilisk is said to be a magical creature cultivated by dark wizards. According to the black magic records, the basilisk is hatched by placing an egg under a toad. Richard has reservations about this statement.

Many black magics use various code words to record. The basilisk method mentioned above is likely to be false. If you really want to cultivate a basilisk in this way, you will definitely fail in the end.

The basilisk species is highly toxic, and its eyes can release death gaze and petrification. Anyone who sees its eyes will be attacked by these two spells.

Of course, this ability is not irresistible. Death Gaze and Petrification are both a kind of magic use. As long as your spell resistance is high enough, there will be no problem even if you see their eyes.

This ability is invincible when dealing with creatures weaker than it, and can easily kill or petrify the opponent, but when dealing with creatures stronger than it, the spell will fail.

The opponent's resistance is too high, causing the spell to lose its effect.

And this spell requires the consumption of magic. The more people die, the more petrification is petrified, and the more magic is consumed.

And there is another way to deal with this spell. Because both the death gaze and the petrification light require you to see the other party's eyes, you can use sunglasses to block the light.

After Richard opened the secret room, a basilisk over twelve feet long woke up from his slumber. This basilisk that has lived for nearly a thousand years is quite powerful. The green body looks very strange, and the yellow eyes contain strange power.

After seeing Richard, the thousand-year-old basilisk launched an attack.

The death gaze was launched immediately.

"Attacked by the instant death spell [Death Gaze]! Magic counterattack activated!" The system's prompt sounded in my mind.

"Death Gaze canceled!"

"Mind control activated!"

A ray of forest light instantly spread from Richard's body, and the powerful mind power instantly hit the basilisk. The basilisk froze at this moment, and its body, mind, and even soul were unable to move at this moment.

The powerful soul power broke through the basilisk's defense and imprinted Richard's secret mark on its soul.

After the secret mark was placed, the basilisk was forcibly controlled by Richard and became his pet.

The thousand-year-old basilisk immediately swam to Richard's side, and then bowed down to Richard to show his submission.

Richard gently patted the basilisk on the head and said, "Is there anything else in this secret room?"

The basilisk thought for a while, and then took Richard to the other side of the secret room, where there was a hidden bookshelf full of books, and Richard flipped through them casually.

Most of these books were about black magic, and some seemed to be experimental diaries. Richard immediately put all these books into his pocket.

Soon, the entire secret room was turned upside down by Richard. After finding nothing else, Richard took the basilisk away.
