As for Draco, he would visit Chicomo every few days during his vacation. Over time, the friendship between Chicomo and Draco undoubtedly deepened.

Therefore, in Zicomo's mind, Draco's priority is definitely higher than Ron's.

Ron was speechless after Zicomo's words; it seemed he hadn't actually asked Zicomo to keep it a secret.

"Hmph! Befriending Slytherin is a betrayal of Gryffindor." Ron said this and left indignantly.

"Ron, Ron!"

Harry called out Ron's name, but Ron was angry and walked out of the main hall without looking back.

“Sorry, Zicomo, Ron doesn’t think before he speaks. Don’t take his words to heart,” Harry apologized to Zicomo.

Although Harry didn't understand why Zicomo would become friends with Draco, he respected Zicomo's decision.

He also realized that Draco didn't have any particularly bad intentions. It's just that he and Draco seemed to be inherently incompatible, and they would always start arguing whenever they met.

Harry only took Ron's advice because he was really annoyed by Draco's constant pestering.

Unexpectedly, this resulted in Ron getting beaten up.

Harry didn't blame Zicomo for telling Draco, after all, Ron hadn't said it had to be kept secret. Instead, he was a little angry with himself for using Ron's method, which resulted in his good friend getting beaten up.

Harry still cared about Ron, after all, he was the first friend he made after arriving at Hogwarts.

Zicomo saw through Harry's thoughts and said to him, "It's alright, go ahead if you want to, I'm not worried about it."

Harry nodded, got up, and followed after him.

Seeing Harry leave, Draco then approached him.

“Sorry, it seems I’ve gotten you into trouble,” Draco said.

Zicomo said nonchalantly, "It's not much of a problem."

This wasn't really a problem for Zicomo, since his relationship with Ron wasn't close enough for him to care about the other's feelings.

In Zicomo's opinion, Ron's words were utterly naive. Even if the two houses had a bad relationship, they were still classmates. They weren't mortal enemies, so there was no question of betrayal.

When Zicomo, Lani, and Hermione went out at night, they even saw two students from different houses dating.

Only someone as naive as Ron would judge people based on his own likes and dislikes. In his mind, all Slytherins are probably bad seeds.

Zicomo didn't take it to heart; it was just a minor incident in his life.

…………

That night, Zicomo arrived at Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets.

He pondered for a long time and concluded that if Slytherin had indeed left behind a legacy, it must be related to his Chamber of Secrets. So Zicomo returned there.

The secret chamber remained exactly as it had been when Zicomo first arrived, with serpentine statues guarding the path, which ended at a massive Slytherin face statue.

It's hard to imagine that Slytherin would have chosen such a dark and gloomy place as their secret classroom. If it were just dark, that would be one thing; they could have simply lit candles.

The problem is that this place is surrounded by water on three sides, and it's very cold and damp. An ordinary person would probably get rheumatism if they stayed here for too long.

Zicomo scanned the room and finally fixed his gaze on the Slytherin face statue.

He had always been curious about what Slytherin was thinking, making his mouth the entrance and exit for the basilisk. Didn't it seem strange to have a basilisk going in and out of his mouth?

Zicomo was even more curious about why, when the outside space was already enough for the basilisk to live in, the basilisk's lair was set up behind the statue.

Could it be that there's a hidden world behind that?

Zicomo extended his mental energy and, sure enough, sensed something blocking his mental energy behind the statue.

Zicomo pondered for a moment, then used "Shadowless Strike" to rip Slytherin's face off. He had no intention of going into Slytherin's mouth.

Heaven knows if the basilisk got any dirt on the cave entrance when it went in and out.

Zicomo used a levitation charm to move Slytherin's face away, revealing the space behind the statue.

Just like the entrance to the secret room in the women's restroom, the floor here was covered with a layer of small animal skeletons, and there were even more of them than at the entrance to the secret room.

It's obvious that the serpent monster did it. This was probably its previous feeding ground, but it moved to the entrance of the secret chamber because the ground was too small.

Besides the dense skeletons, there were two bookshelves. However, due to the passage of time and the presence of insects in the dark environment, the books on the shelves had all been corroded.

This is probably the location of Slytherin's real secret classroom, because Zicomo saw something that looked like a blackboard on one of the walls.

In the very center of the space stood a staircase, upon which sat a life-size statue of Slytherin. This left Zicomo utterly speechless; just how narcissistic must someone be to have so many statues of themselves?

Zicomo leaned closer to examine the statue and discovered an octagonal groove on its chest, a groove that Zicomo recognized very well.

667 Isn't this the Slytherin locket he got a while ago?

Just as Zicomo had predicted, the Slytherin lineage was never that of a basilisk.

Zicomo took out the pendant box and placed it into the groove.

As soon as the pendant box touched the groove, the emerald set in it emitted a burst of green light.

Then lines lit up on the Slytherin statue, converging towards its eyes, making the entire statue seem to come alive.

No, to be precise, it really came back to life.

The statue slowly descended the steps and came to stand before Zicomo.

It spoke, asking, "Are you the one who will unlock my legacy?"

Instead of answering its question, Zicomo complained, "Don't you four have any original ideas? Why are you all just bringing statues to life? Could it be that the Hufflepuff legacy is also a statue?"

However, the statue did not respond to Zicomo's words, but instead repeated what it had just said.

"Are you the one who will initiate my legacy?"

“Good heavens, this is still weak AI (or idiotic)!” Zicomo continued to complain.

Zicomo's words seemed to have triggered something, and the statue responded, "Because I left in a hurry, I didn't leave much intelligence in this statue, so I can only give you some simple answers."

Okay, he said the statue had a kind of artificial stupidity about it.

It turns out that he left Hogwarts in anger because of disagreements with the other three founders. Even a simple living statue wasn't completed.

Nevertheless, Zicomo still wanted to try to find out something about that era.

Zicomo asked, "Did you really leave Hogwarts because of ideological differences?"

The statue replied expressionlessly, "I have no recollection of that."

Chapter 156 Poor Voldemort, and a Dejected Professor McGonagall

A note before the main text: I saw a friend remind me that the Death Prince's Staff is enhanced with ordinary forging stones. This was indeed a mistake on my part. Sorry!

The chapter has already been published, and it's not easy to modify it. Let's just treat it as a weapon made with a colorless forging stone in the book. After all, it's a weapon made from a demigod's body, so it can be considered a special weapon.

Finally, thank you to this friend for the reminder!

…………

Zicomo: "How much do you know about the other three founders?"

The statue reads: "Invalid question."

Hey, you call it intelligent? It answers rather dullly. You call it mentally challenged? It'll come up with all sorts of ways to answer you.

Zicomo: "Do you know where the Hufflepuff tradition is?"

The statue says, "I have no memory of that."

Okay, Zicomo gave up.

This is completely an artificial idiot, and you can't expect to get any information from it.

Zicomo cut straight to the point: "What is the Slytherin legacy?"

"I have left a legacy of memories within this statue. Those who unlock this legacy, if they are from Slytherin, will have three opportunities to view the memories; those from other houses will only have one opportunity," the statue said.

This is very Slytherin-esque. They consider students from all other houses to be trash.

“How can I obtain this inheritance?” Zicomo asked.

"Your identity has been detected as a Gryffindor student. You have only one chance. Do you wish to accept the inheritance?" the statue asked in return.

Zicomo glanced at the Gryffindor crest on his clothes and thought to himself that he should have borrowed a Slytherin crest from Draco before coming over.

“Yes,” Zicomo nodded.

As soon as he finished speaking, two beams of white light shot out from the statue's eyes and flew straight toward Zicomo's eyes.

Zicomo realized that the white light posed no threat to him, so he let it enter his eyes.

Then a flood of memories rushed through Zicomo's mind—the entirety of Slytherin's learning. It included magic lost for a thousand years, as well as the dark magic he himself had created.

However, unlike Zikomo's "Dragonblood Clan Heritage Seal," which imprints the inherited magic in his mind, these memories only flashed through Zikomo's mind rapidly.

It's like attending an online class at high speed, without any recording. How much you remember depends entirely on your own ability.

Zicomo now understood why Slytherin, who had always looked down on the other three houses, would be so kind as to give students from those houses the opportunity to inherit his legacy.

On the one hand, it was to give face to the other three founders; on the other hand, he was not worried at all that his legacy would be obtained by students from other colleges.

To be precise, this legacy was actually left by Slytherin to his descendants.

After all, the prerequisite for entering the secret room is knowing Parsley; otherwise, brute force is the only option. However, without knowing the entrance to the secret room, no one would be so bored as to blow up the toilet in the women's restroom.
