Just how much extra space has been added to this wallet?
Levin noticed her gaze: "If you want one, I can give it to you as a Christmas present."
"But now, ladies, wait for me a little while and enjoy your midnight snack."
He walked to the side and began preparing his magic on his own.
Hermione and Ciri watched his actions with curiosity as they ate their cakes.
"Hopefully tonight's exploration will provide some warm-up activities."
Ciri took a bite of matcha cake and said slowly.
"That way I can eat them all without feeling guilty and won't get fat."
Hermione was stunned by her words.
I put a strawberry macaron in my mouth, unsure whether I should eat it or not.
Seeing her like this, Ciri mocked, "It's okay, Granger, eat without worry. With your figure... you're not at the point where you need to worry about this."
As he spoke, he deliberately looked her up and down.
"You—"
Hermione wanted to get angry.
But after looking at the other person and then at herself, she found herself powerless to refute.
"Damn it, why is the gap so big?"
Helpless, she could only channel her grief and anger into her appetite, hoping that these desserts would help her gain some weight in the right places.
The girls were eating and eating there.
Levin has already activated his magic.
[Location Detection: 6th Ring Prophecy - You can see and hear a designated location and understand what is happening there. The difficulty of a successful spell depends on your familiarity with the location and your physical connection to it.]
In fact, before using the Pensieve, Levin's chances of finding the map room using the "Location Detection" feature were not high.
After all, he only learned about the location in the game and had never actually been there in real life.
But through the memories in the Pensieve, Levin practically went to the map-filled secret room himself.
Therefore, the success rate of [locating] is greatly increased.
As the long ceremony reached its climax
Levin stared at the magically formed mirror before him.
The mist in the mirror began to dissipate, and suddenly, Levin could see the location of the [Map Secret Room].
It is located directly below the Hogwarts Clock Tower area.
Having obtained the results, Levin immediately ended the ceremony.
At this point, an hour had passed.
"Come on, girls, I think I've found my target."
"Finally over? I've been waiting forever."
"Since that's the case, let's get this over with quickly. Staying up late will cause acne."
So the three of them tidied up the tables and chairs, took the memory book from the Pensieve, and returned to the outside of the library using the [teleportation rune].
Hogwarts was under curfew at this time, and the three of them used the [Invisibility] spell to jog all the way to the sewers below the clock tower.
"Didn't you say the secret room with the map was here?"
Hermione looked around at the sewers and searched carefully.
"Where is the door to the secret room containing the map?"
"【The true form is revealed】!"
"[Instantly reveal yourself!]"
"[Scarpin Revealed]!"
"[Detect Secret Door]!"
Hermione used the Reveal Charm repeatedly, and even the Secret Door Detection Charm that Levin had taught her, but to no avail.
"Without a true successor to guide us, we really can't open the door."
Levin shook his head.
This was also what he expected.
He never intended to enter the "Map Chamber" using conventional methods.
At this moment, Ciri also checked the surroundings: "No, there are no traces of secret doors or ventilation ducts around here. What should we do?"
Levin laughed: "You guys need to open your minds. Think about how I broke through that stone door before? Why do we always have to follow the question setter's line of thinking? You have to understand, this isn't the N.EWT exam. If we can't get through by following the question setter's line of thinking, we can just flip the table!"
Upon hearing this, the two men's eyes lit up, and they looked at Levin.
Levin waved his wand, causing the bricks on the ground to separate, revealing layers of rock and soil.
Then he stepped forward, grabbed the two of them, and began to cast a spell.
"【Thallstone Movement Technique】!"
Two years later, he suddenly realized that a strange power was enveloping him.
Then, led by Levin, they sank into the rock and soil, swimming through the earth and rocks like fish diving, leaving no trace behind them.
I don't know how long we've been traveling.
Finally, this journey hit a wall; the outline of a brick wall appeared before their eyes.
Levin pulled out his wand again, causing the brick wall to part in front of him, revealing a brick-paved passageway.
Levin pulled them along and leaped into the tunnel.
Hermione and Ciri immediately recognized the appearance of this passageway as something they had seen in the Pensieve.
In other words, they directly penetrated the soil and forced their way into the map chamber through the wall.
Aside from using the [Stonewalking] spell, what's the difference between this and digging a tunnel for tomb raiding?
Chapter 119 Map Secret Room
What Levin has now unearthed while "digging a tunnel" is the passage leading to the secret room with the map.
The other end of this passage leads to the Hogwarts sewers.
That is, the place where Levin and his group came from.
Following the passage back, Levin discovered that the secret passage had been sealed off.
It turns out that the negative power of ancient magic caused a huge mess and was sealed beneath the map's secret chamber.
The previous generation of guardians were determined to completely bury the secrets of ancient magic.
To avoid being accidentally discovered by the school's young wizards, he simply blocked the secret passage leading from the castle to this place.
"Now that I've found this place, there's no need to seal off the secret passage anymore."
With that, Levin waved his wand and used the Levitation Charm to clear away the ruins.
Ciri and Hermione joined in, and they quickly cleared away the rubble and debris.
Immediately afterwards, Levin placed his hand close to the sealed wall:
"【Stone Shaping Technique】!"
Under the influence of magic, the thick brick and stone walls were reshaped, and a door-shaped outline appeared before them.
Soon, the outline transformed into a real stone gate.
Immediately afterwards, he cast [Secret Chamber], [6th Ring Arcane Lock], and [Hardening] on the stone gate.
The former prevents light and noise from escaping from behind the door, ensuring privacy.
The latter is the Arcane Lock of the Ascended Ring, which can magically lock the stone door, ensuring that the stone door can only be opened by a specified method and cannot be pried open unless the door is forcibly broken.
The final [hardening technique] is naturally to prevent the stone gate from being forcibly breached.
Having secured their escape route, the three then headed towards the other end of the passageway.
Opening the magnificent doors, what comes into view is the grand hall from my memory.
The main hall is built inside a huge cave in the mountain rock.
It is supported by tall stone pillars on all sides.
The stone pillars and the surrounding railings are still decorated with the same plant-themed metal outlines.
Between the stone pillars are four tall paintings, which originally contained normal portraits, but now they are just empty backgrounds and the figures are gone.
In the center of the cave is a large, smooth floor, which is like a mirror or a calm lake.
After the three entered the main hall, they immediately saw the high platform on the balustrade.
A square flat plate stands on the high platform, seemingly waiting for something to be placed on it.
Just like in the game, Levin placed the memory book he had taken from the Pensieve on this table.
Then, the main hall was "awakened".
The lake began to sparkle with starlight, countless glittering points of light spreading out beneath the dark mirror surface and sinking down, revealing a miniature model of the area surrounding Hogwarts.
When Levin stepped onto this ground, it was as if he were stepping on water, creating ripples of light.
At that moment, he was like a giant in the clouds, looking down over the entire Hogwarts.
Levin looked around and saw the train station, Hogwarts Castle, Black Lake, Forbidden Forest, Hogsmeade Village... It was almost like a 3D holographic sand table.
No wonder this place is called the "Map Chamber".
In fact, the reason this Hogwarts map exists here is to locate nearby ancient magical energy nodes.
The three entered the map-themed secret room.
The figures in the four enormous paintings have all returned.
