In the dark Chamber, Ethan stroked the green snake scales of the basilisk. He took out his dagger and stabbed the basilisk's body a few times, but only a few scratches appeared on the scales. Those faint traces disappeared after a quick wipe.

The Basilisk's skin had excellent magic resistance and physical resistance.

Ethan has always wanted to build a new armor. For Ethan, the basilisk scales in front of him are undoubtedly the best material.

"This basilisk belongs to me."

Ethan guarded the basilisk's body and said vigilantly to Dumbledore, standing beside him.

Seeing Harry's situation, Dumbledore pouted helplessly, "Ethan, I won't take it from you," Dumbledore replied.

Ethan immediately started dismantling the basilisk corpse to avoid a long night of dreams.

Basilisks are full of treasures. The fangs and venom of the basilisks are potent weapons.

The meat of the basilisk has the therapeutic effects of nourishing the liver and kidney, nourishing the kidney and strengthening yang, and beautifying the face. It is also tender, delicious, and rich in nutrients such as protein, fat, calcium, and phosphorus. It is indeed a delicacy.

Ethan took a little while to dismantle the valuable parts of the Basilisk's body.

The initially giant basilisk corpse had turned into a pile of shriveled shells and minced meat.

The basilisk's blood ran through the cracks in the stone bricks on the ground, flowing in all directions like a meandering stream.

Dumbledore couldn't stand the scene and left a while later.

Ethan took care of the basilisk's colossal head, wrapped it finely with white linen, and put it into his bag.

Ethan, who was about to leave the chamber, suddenly heard the slight rattling of gears from the room, which caught Ethan's attention.

The basilisk's blood flows in the gully of the stone bricks in the secret room, forming a strange symbol. The end of the symbol was linked to several stone pillars, and the blood of the basilisk flowed into the gap between the stone pillars.

The sound of the gears moving became increasingly apparent, and dust fell from the ceiling of the private room.

Slytherin's huge stone face moved again; its mouth opened wider and wider until there was a passage for people to pass through and a narrow and steep staircase.

Ethan was amazed. In Ethan's original memory, this plot did not appear. He might have accidentally touched something, which caused him to open a deeper chamber.

Ethan hesitated momentarily, then walked to the front of the passage. Curiosity finally defeated Ethan's fear of the unknown.

Ethan strolled up the passage. The passage was unusually narrow, and the stairs were so steep that Ethan couldn't straighten his waist completely.

Ethan walked carefully along the passage, and after a while, he finally reached the end.

At the end of the passage was a rusted iron door. Because it is too old, this iron door has been completely rusted. Ethan only pushed it gently, and the iron door fell to the ground with a harsh whine.

Behind the iron gate is a very spacious laboratory. The laboratory is now covered with thick dust and cobwebs. There are a lot of experimental instruments, but they all look ancient.

Ethan may be the first outsider to enter this laboratory in thousands of years.

This laboratory might be Slytherin's actual Chamber of Secrets.

A vessel emitting a silver light caught Ethan's attention. It was a shallow stone basin with many delicate carvings. The rim of the basin was engraved with symbols unknown to Ethan. The basin was filled with a silvery substance, like a cloud, liquid, and gas-like.

Ethan had read in the book that it was a Pensieve used to store memories.

Slytherin wants someone to read this memory.

Ethan sank his face into the Pensieve; there was no feeling of suffocation; Ethan only felt his eyes light up, and the scene in front of him quickly changed.

He saw four young wizards, and Ethan recognized them at once for some reason. They were Godric Gryffindor, Helga Hufflepuff, Rowena Ravenclaw, and Salazar Slytherin, the Big Four, who founded Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

In the memory, Ethan saw the whole process of the Big Four creating Hogwarts, the pride of Godric Gryffindor, the gentleness of Helga Hufflepuff, the wisdom of Rowena Ravenclaw, and Salazar Slytherin's shrewdness.

All four appeared in front of Ethan one by one. Although Salazar Slytherin in memory always put on a cold expression, Ethan still clearly felt it in this memory. Salazar Slytherin, the joy of watching the school gradually build up.

Next, even if Hogwarts had established a memory of recruiting students, Ethan continued to look down curiously. But, the entire memory suddenly became blurred, and the sequence was out of order, accompanied by a lot of noise.

Ethan immediately withdrew from this memory and shook his head in pain. The best part of this memory was disturbed by something unexplained.

Unable to read the memory, Ethan had to search the laboratory again. The outer laboratory only had some simple experimental equipment.

As he went deeper, many dissection tables appeared in Ethan's eyes, and some of the dissection tables still had several dead bones and mummified corpses lying there. This made Ethan even more curious about the entire laboratory.

The more we went inside, the more strange things appeared. There were many transparent glass jars containing green liquid on both sides of the laboratory. The surface of the glass jars was already covered with dust, and it wasn't easy to see what was inside.

Ethan wiped the dust on the surface with his hands, looked inside, and found corpses, one by one, stored in the green liquid.

At this time, Ethan noticed that there were even several cells in the corner of this laboratory, and almost every cell had several bones.

Coupled with the memories in the Pensieve that Ethan watched earlier, Ethan realized that Salazar Slytherin might have had a secret when he left Hogwarts.

At the end of the laboratory was a small wooden door. Ethan pushed it gently, and the wooden door opened with a sharp creaking sound.

Behind the door was a more extensive library than a laboratory, and Ethan was surprised by the scale of Slytherin's secret room.

The bookshelves in this library are terrifyingly high, and the books inside are even more crowded.

The bookshelves were covered with heavy cobwebs. Ethan pulled out a book at random. The pages were made of non-perishable parchment.

Ethan put this book in his bag and began reading other books. Then Ethan found that this library was a treasure trove of black magic. The first few bookshelves recorded various black magics that had even been lost.

The bookshelf at the back contained many books about flesh and blood magic and human transformation. The strange texture and texture of the covers of several books made Ethan recognize that these were human skin books.

Ethan needed to ensure Slytherin's legacy wasn't lost, so he packed all these books into his bag without hesitation. (T/N - Totally Believable)
