Chapter 137 Statue and Behind the Door

Chapter 137 Statue and Behind the Door

"Is this the sword that belongs to Gryffindor and Slytherin?"

James looked back and forth at the horizontal stripes on the bottom of the two sword hilts, and asked with some confusion: "But why are Slytherin's relics here?"

Sirius shook his head: "I don't know. Maybe it's just because they were close friends."

After thinking for a while, he said sarcastically: "Slytherin's relics are held in the hands of me, Black of Gryffindor. I don't know what other Blacks will think after seeing this. "

"Almost all of them highly admire Slytherin's pure-bloodism."

After playing with it for a while, the two rechecked the armor parts on the carpet and the other two long swords.

But there is no mark on it that belongs to the founder. It is not even a fairy creation, it is just attached with special magic.

They then tried to open the wooden door at the exit.This time, they finally succeeded.

"Nearly 1000 years have passed, and the effect of the curse has not completely disappeared."

James said in surprise: "As expected of Gryffindor!"

Sirius looked at the scene behind the door. There was still a spiral staircase, with blazing Gubler fire floating on both sides, as if it would never go out.

"Okay, it's time to go," he said.

"Looking at it like this, there are still a lot of tests ahead."

The two of them dragged the two relics of the founder and continued to walk up the stairs.

"Speaking of which, we are starting to look more and more like Gryffindor now!"

On the way, James struggled to raise the sword, imitating the portrait of Gryffindor.

"Maybe this is one of his purposes for testing us."

Sirius thought thoughtfully and said, "To be a true Gryffindor, you must experience some of the things he has done."

"Or maybe it's because of these experiences that I am a true Gryffindor."

"I just don't know what it would be like to become a Slytherin."

"Heh." James snorted contemptuously: "You can guess it even if you guess it. It is nothing more than achieving some evil purposes, especially black magic."

"But, if this is really the case, this sword is somewhat unjustifiable." Sirius pointed to the long snake pattern at the bottom of the rapier.

"Slytherin later parted ways with the other founders, and also broke with Gryffindor. But the sword was still left in the lion statue."

After seeing James' puzzled look, Sirius shook his head and said, "I mean, just being a close friend may not be enough to gain Gryffindor's respect."

"Maybe, it's because of some other reasons."

"What could that be?" James asked.

Sirius glanced at him: "Don't just ask me, man. I'm just a Black. I haven't been familiar with Gryffindor since I was a child. How could I know what he really thinks."

James laughed twice.After thinking about it, he suddenly said something weird: "It seems that there is only one other Gryffindor who can gain the respect of Gryffindor."

Sirius frowned, but James pointed at him and said, "It's like between us."

"You're a Black, but you're also a Gryffindor."

At this moment, even Sirius' eyes became a little weird.

"You mean, Slytherin is actually a Gryffindor?"

"Well..." James said with some uncertainty: "Maybe not completely, but at least it should be similar."

"Otherwise, there's no way to explain why they became friends."

The two were silent, each looking at the rapier in their hands.

"It's really weird."

After a while, Sirius shook his head and said, "It's really weird."

"I thought you would be more receptive to this speculation." James raised an eyebrow at him.

"This is different." Sirius curled his lips: "At best, I am just a Black, and I am not the only one who resists the family's ideas. There have been many people before me."

"But he is a real Slytherin."

During the chat, the two finally walked to the second wooden door.

After opening the door, they subconsciously looked around the entrance, but there were no weapon racks on this floor.

But when they looked to the other side of the room, they were stunned at the same time.

"Thankfully we brought these two rapiers." Sirius said with a frown.

James' throat couldn't help but roll.

"Are we entering a lion statue or a giant snake..."

At the exit of the room, two pairs of armors also stood upright, which was no different from the first room.

But among them, there were two more tall and burly warrior statues.Even the weapons in their hands are larger than those in armor.

"Does Gryffindor really want to kill us?" James asked with wide eyes.

"It seems that being a true Gryffindor is not an easy task."

Sirius casually left a gap in the wooden door at the entrance.

"Just remember to run away if you can't beat them. Cutting joints is not that useful against these rocks."

James nodded. He and Sirius clenched the wands and rapiers in their hands at the same time, looking warily at the moving armor and statues opposite.

"Now, come on!"

On the other side, inside the giant snake statue.

Compared to the bold James and Sirius, Callan and Snape stayed in front of the second wooden door for a long time.

The magic on this wooden door seems to have not failed, and the things inside have not escaped like the female ghost.

However, the things in this room are equally restless.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The things in the room seemed to be aware of the two's presence, and kept banging against the wooden door.

Under this series of sounds, Karan said to Snape nonchalantly: "So, do you remember all the things I just said?"

Snape's face turned a little pale, he pursed his lips tightly and nodded.

"Remember." He said: "The same non-existence as the female ghost - Boggart."

The moment he noticed something strange about the wooden door, Karan had some general guesses.Among them, Boggart is the most likely.

This is a non-being that can transform into something that is feared by those nearby. They usually hide in something and manifest their presence by shaking, shaking, or grabbing around.

However, after they transform, they sometimes cannot imitate the same power or magic: for example, dementors and ghosts are both non-existent.Boggarts cannot have strong negative effects after transforming into them, and their screams are not lethal.

"Well, relax, Snape."

After noticing Snape's strangeness, Karan smiled and said a few words of relief: "As long as we stand together, it is very likely that the Boggart will not know what it should be, and instead look nondescript."

"Also, don't forget that spells are funny, try to think of something that makes you feel funny."

Snape nodded again. He looked at Karan nervously and asked with some confusion: "Aren't you afraid?"

Karan shook his head and whispered, "Fear is not terrible."

“Being unable to resolve fear is the scariest thing.”
