"Hiss~ (Speak to me, Slytherin, the greatest of the Hogwarts Four!) ）”

Lockhart's mouth spat out a snake whisper, but after waiting for a long time and not seeing the Slytherin statue behind him move, his heart suddenly sank, and he tried again.

"Are you calling out to that basilisk? Since I've been in the Chamber of Secrets, do you think I'll make it alive today? Ivan said with a sneer, closing the distance between him and Lockhart again, and continued to speak.

"Looks like Tom is hiding a lot of things from you, I guess he didn't tell you, remember to close your eyes when calling the basilisk, right?"

Within three meters of each other, Ivan's black eyes instantly turned into orange-yellow vertical snake eyes as his words fell...

Before Lockhart could figure out what Ivan's words meant, his mind went blank, and Ivan's eyes swirled like a vortex into his mind and soul...

"Except for your weapons!"

With Ivan's shout, Lockhart regained consciousness, but the next moment he felt like his body had been struck by a bull, rolling all the way to the Slytherin stone sculpture behind him.

The wand came out of his hand, swirling in the air, and finally fell into Ivan's hand...

Ivan reached out and took Lockhart's wand, and glanced at the mana scale in the status bar, which was about a tenth less.

Ivan sighed, the wizard's magic resistance was indeed much stronger than that of ordinary creatures.

He only activated the snake eye for less than a second just now, and the purpose was not to stare at Lockhart, but to make Lockhart in a stalemate and unable to activate the effect of the protective cloak, and then he used magic to break the opponent's resistance.

After all, the protective cloak is a magic prop made by himself using a lot of precious materials, and it takes a lot of time to break it normally.

Only by surprise can you decide the winner with one blow and save the consumption of mana.

Ivan walked towards Lockhart step by step,

Lockhart, who was knocked into the statue, wanted to get up in horror, but found that his body was extremely heavy, as if it had been filled with lead, and he raised his right hand with difficulty, and then was trampled by one foot.

"Tell me, where is Tom Riddle now?" Ivan stepped on Lockhart's right hand, ripped off several pieces of his magical equipment, and pressed his wand against Lockhart's cheek, his gaze cold.

"I... I don't know—" Lockhart said in horror as he looked at the flickering light at the tip of Ivan's wand.

"Do you want to try the taste of digging into the bones?" Although Ivan didn't know this spell, it didn't prevent him from threatening Lockhart with it.

One of the three unforgivable curses, the Drill Heart Curse, Lockhart is naturally very clear, listening to Ivan talk about it, he suddenly had a thrill, racking his brains to think about where Tom Riddle would go.

"He must be looking for something on the eighth floor of the castle! He told me that you're getting in the way a lot of time, and he hopes I can find a way to get you away...", Lockhart said suddenly.

Ivan's heart sank, and he had a very bad feeling.

I'm afraid Tom wants to go to the Room of Requirement on the eighth floor, and I'm afraid what I'm looking for is the second Horcrux, the Ravenclaw Crown!

And because of the previous attack, he didn't dare to go to the Room of Request during this time, which was exactly what the other party wanted...

"So you got that Ravenclaw girl to the eighth floor? Frame me again? Thinking of this, Ivan was furious, and his black eyes faintly turned into orange-yellow vertical pupils...

Lockhart looked at each other for a moment and felt like he was going to die, but the next moment Ivan's eyes were back to their original state, and he retorted sharply. "No, I didn't do that! It was that journal that controlled me! ”

Lockhart hurriedly explained to Ivan.

After obtaining the journal, Tom Riddle imparted him a great deal of magical knowledge and asked him to help him regain his strength, and in return Tom Riddle would help him become a true master of magic.

Lockhart was still hesitant and didn't agree.

But the next day, he lost consciousness while experimenting with a spell, and when he woke up, he only vaguely remembered what he had said to a girl who admired him, and then went to the eighth floor to do something.

When he reached the eighth floor, he found that the other party had fallen in a pool of blood, and Lockhart could see that it was his handwriting on the wall, which was why he hurriedly destroyed the wall.

After that, Lockhart fell into a state of panic, fearing that the attacker would be traced to him.

That's why he followed Tom Riddle's advice and handed over the Horcruxes to another admirer of his own, so as to clear his suspicions.

"Tom Riddle promised me not to kill anyone, and I handed over the Horcrux to the Slytherin girl... You can't kill me, or you'll be imprisoned in Azkaban!" Lockhart said tremblingly.

"Then they have to be able to find you here and find your body!" Ivan said mockingly.

Lockhart fell into an ice cellar, but at this moment Ivan spoke again. "But you're lucky, I won't kill you this time..."

Ivan looked coldly at the relieved Lockhart, he needed someone to take responsibility for these attacks, and it was naturally better for Lockhart to be alive than dead.

But Lockhart knows a lot of things he shouldn't know, like those conversations he had with Tom Riddle...

Looking at Ivan's increasingly dangerous gaze, Lockhart swallowed with difficulty, he faintly thought of something, and said in horror. "Hals, when I taught you the Oblivion Charm, you promised me that you would never use it on me..."

"I'm sorry, I lied to you!" Ivan waved his wand mercilessly.

"Forget it!"

The milky white enchanted light struck Lockhart, who was powerless, and his body trembled violently, and then he passed out.

Ivan gave him a stun spell to make sure he wouldn't wake up for a few hours, and then prepared to head to the Room of Requirement on the eighth floor, hoping that Tom hadn't found what he was looking for by this time.

But as soon as he turned around, Ivan stopped, and in the distance he saw a familiar figure stepping on the aisle of the secret room.

It was a handsome boy of about sixteen years of age, with a wicked smile on his lips.

What disturbed Ivan the most was that Tom Riddle had a quaint, crown-like thing on his forehead compared to the last time they met, and the brilliant sapphires on it glittered in the dimly lit chamber...

That's the second Horcrux, the Ravenclaw crown!

(PS: Why Tom was able to get this Horcrux will be explained later...) ）
