0179 Wait a minute
Ernie knew what Dumbledore expected of him, but the position of headmaster of Hogwarts was really not attractive to him. It would not be an exaggeration to say that it was poisonous, at least for now he had no intention of succeeding.
The dense network of contracts makes him feel numb, and Hufflepuff, who has a giving personality, is more kind. The kitchen and the school doctor's room handled by her are considered to be the cleanest places in the castle.
In Hogwarts, only food and medical care are truly free, and all other benefits and subsidies do not need to be paid.
It's just that what Hogwarts asks for is not real goods, and generally speaking, it will not affect the lives of young wizards, but will benefit them in some ways.
However, with Aini's current vision, he still can't detect the core runes in the castle, and those inexplicable contracts can still be avoided, so he seldom takes the initiative to enjoy the convenience brought by the professorship.
This year I still live in the Forbidden Forest. Apart from being more comfortable there, there are also considerations in this regard.
So he decided to temporarily stay away from those densely packed contracts and sit in a cleaner place.
Cough, I’m actually hungry and want to eat in the kitchen....biqugé
"Albus, are you together?"
The old headmaster readily agreed, wizards don't have the ability to fast, and they still need to eat properly, at most they won't be short of food and water because of the summoning spell.
The two went all the way down the stairs. When the stone beast behind him blocked the passage again, Dumbledore suddenly remembered the scene where Aini failed to decrypt the decryption downstairs when he was discussing with Bill.
"Oh, by the way, the password for the principal's office is Damn Ali."
"Pfft~"
The feathers on Little Phoenix's face fluttered under the strong air current, and he gave Old Deng a dissatisfied look.
Just now Aini was pouting to tease her, but when she heard the weird password from the principal's office, she instantly broke her guard, spewing out saliva and making Fox slap her face.
Aini also looked at Dumbledore like a ghost.
Did you change your hobby from candy to being a wife, you old man?
Thank you for not telling me when you drank the pumpkin juice just now!
In vain, he just tried Dumbledore's previous hobbies for a long time...
"Ha ha ha ha."
Seeing Aini's expression, the old wizard laughed out loud.
"'Ali His Mother' is a bestseller in Cairo. It tastes delicious and has local characteristics."
Immediately, the old headmaster put on a straight face and introduced seriously.
But this introduction doesn't sound serious at all!
Just when Aini's eyes were changing, the old headmaster took out "Mother Ali" from his pocket and handed it over.
Aini took it in a hurry, and subconsciously took a bite on the other's plump body...
Well, it's very sweet, so sweet that it's cloying.
Sure enough, the old principal will not easily betray the Sweet Party~
By the time Aini finished scratching the pears at the kitchen door, there were already a lot of Egyptian desserts in the magic pocket, and they were basically cloyingly sweet, which suited Dumbledore's taste very well.
It turns out that the password style of the principal's office hasn't changed, it's because I'm ignorant.
But…that dessert is called “umm ali” in Arabic okay?
Although umm means mother, but Dumbledore's paraphrase is a bit more serious. Could it be that he is playing wild outside and starting to let himself go?
Aini complained secretly in her heart, but she didn't know that even she was only talking about it as a joke, but it hit the point miraculously.
It's just dawn now, breakfast is not ready yet, and the kitchen is busy.
After the two entered, the house elves, Ulala, came over to salute, and rushed to ask what they wanted for breakfast.
Naturally, their treatment was different. It didn't take long for the clean table to become a bit crowded. Staple food, non-staple food, bread, and drinks were all available, hasty but exquisite.
It has to be said that every house elf in Hogwarts has been working in the kitchen for generations, and every house elf in Hogwarts is a veteran cook, and the one who can serve the two is of course the strongest of them.
Even though Aini still prefers Chinese food in terms of taste, he still eats it with great relish.
After the meal, Dumbledore took out a large stack of cookbooks and handed them to Levi—it was the speaker of the kitchen. The old headmaster hoped that the elves could enrich the food at Hogwarts.
How could a little wizard refuse the temptation of sweets?
Afterwards, Fox stretched his waist, and led the two of them to appear in the underground passage.
"Clever design."
Dumbledore took a breath and praised the ventilation holes around him. The air quality in the buildings on the Giza Heights in the past two months is really hard to describe in words.
But I can't blame the original designer, after all, the "residents" over there don't need to breathe...
Dumbledore scanned the stone door and the wall, and after a little thought, he spit out a strange word.
"hiss~"
Aini was taken aback. Are you so brave?
The eyes of the two puppet snakes flickered slightly, as if they were verifying something, and then they slid quietly to the sides, and the wall opened accordingly.
A large, dimly lit room appeared.
Sunlight obviously cannot penetrate the thick rock formation, and the faint light source in the room comes from the ceiling.
In Aini's field of vision, countless small magic lines are listed, but most of the magic power that passes through is very scarce, as if it is in a standby state.
Only a bunch of thick veins spread in and disappeared into a statue.
At the same time, misty black smoke like mist drifted out, slowly climbing back to the magic vein, replenishing the curse that had been consumed before.
However, there is a huge difference between one round and one round, and the overflowing curse power is very thin.
"It seems that this is also one of the sources of the curse."
Aini took a cursory look, and found nothing extra except for the empty statues and pillars, which seemed abnormal to him.
When Slytherin built the Chamber of Secrets back then, he couldn't just use it to hide a basilisk and leave it for future generations to make trouble, right?
"Hiss~ hiss hiss~ hiss~"
Dumbledore did not reply immediately, but issued a series of snake language instructions again.
In the eyes of true sight, a strand of magic power diverted from the main vein and spread out along the magic lines all over the place.
Those decorative giant snakes raised their heads, and small white light balls floated from their eye sockets. The lighting in the underground space suddenly increased by more than one level, and even the mottled marks on the walls could be seen clearly.
With the gradual activation of the magic pattern, the traces of dirt on the upper and lower sides disappeared in pieces, and the hall soon became bright and clean.
The founder of this place is obviously a person who pursues perfection. Under the shining white light, exquisite and delicate patterns can be seen everywhere. Both the layout and decoration of the surrounding areas are very thoughtful, which appears to be harmonious and unified.
Only the ground in front of the statue was uneven, not only had traces of wear and tear, but also showed some depressions.
"It's a fixed card slot."
Dumbledore walked over and fiddled with the ground, "It seems that there were many things here before, probably the place where Slytherin studied magic, but I don't know if the things here were taken away by himself or fell into other people's hands. "
Aini wandered around the worn area regrettably, and found that there was nothing left, not even a piece of paper.
When Aini looked up, he happened to see the reduced surging magic power, and suddenly felt that he seemed to have overlooked something.
"Albus, wait a minute, there's a problem here."
