Harry Potter’s Book of Sin Chapter 68: Leave information
"...a deal?" Aragok said irritably, "No matter what the deal, you put that thing away first!"
Maca nodded, re-corked the bottle in his hand, and put it back into the pocket inside the robe.
"Aragog. In fact, you don't need to be so nervous--"
"How can we not be nervous! How can we not be nervous! That is the ancient creature that our spiders fear most! How can I not be nervous!" Aragok said grumpily, clicking loudly.
"Obviously, that thing is not here," Maca calmly said, "The little bottle contains its scales-I got it down by myself."
"So what!" Aragog said, "Even if you can handle it...that thing--"
"Basilisk." Maca added.
"Oh, damn! Can't tell! We can't tell its name!"
When the word "bassilisk" was heard, the group of eight-eyed giant spiders was agitated. Obviously, this was like Voldemort among wizards, which represented terror and death.
"I just want you to adapt," Maca said. "This deal is obviously good for you and all of your people."
"What transaction?"
"I have checked carefully, whether it is a basilisk--" Maca dragged his tone, and regardless of the turmoil of the big spiders, continued, "Whether it is the basilisk or your eight-eyed giant spiders, both It is a magical creature cultivated by a wizard."
"Maybe you are right, then what?"
"In other words, you shouldn't have natural enemies at all." Maca said naturally, "The reason why the basilisk will become the natural enemy of your eight-eyed giant spider clan is simply because you have been separated from the cultivation of wizards. That's it."
"You mean—" Aragok hesitated, "We have a chance to be stronger?"
"That's why I said that the wisdom of your eight-eyed giant spiders is just concealed by ferocity." Maca stared directly at Aragok with piercing eyes, "If I say, I can Use the blood of the basilisk to further strengthen your eight-eyed giant spider?"
"Do you like being manipulated with your body by others!" Aragok yelled grumpily.
But Maca suddenly changed the subject.
"Aragok, why do you think I would choose to do business with you?"
"What?"
Aragok didn't react for a while, and after a short pause did he accept the new topic of Maca.
"Hmm...because we are all friends of Hagrid?"
"To be precise, because of'wisdom'." Maca said, "If I remember correctly, your favorite food for eight-eyed giant spiders is human flesh, right?"
"Yes, this is the most delicious food!"
"But you have never eaten it." Maca continued.
"No," Aragog clicked his foot, "I have this instinct, but out of respect for Hagrid, I have never hurt anyone."
"Then have you thought about why this is?"
"Didn’t I say it? Because Hagrid! Hagrid was just a kid at the time, but he took care of me, hid me in a cupboard in the castle, and fed me the crumbs that I had left on the dining table. ——Hagrid is my good friend, he is a good man! When people found me and asked me to take responsibility for the death of a girl, he protected me."
Aragoc paused, then continued: "I have lived in this woods ever since, and Hagrid often visits me. He even found me a wife-Mosag . You see how prosperous our family is, it’s all thanks to Hagrid..."
"Listen, Aragog." Maca raised his head slightly, "All of what you said is correct. And this is because of wisdom!"
"You have enough brains, reason and emotion. If you want, you can suppress your instincts and control your behavior." Maca hit the railroad while it was hot, "This is a basilisk that can never be possessed Yes, they only know how to obey and kill."
"So..."
"So, I chose to ask you to do this transaction, instead of trying to control the basilisk." Maca said flatly, "...trust me, there is always a way, but I don't want to do that."
"What I want is a friend." He said softly, "This is a transaction between friends. If you think something is inappropriate, you can give up the transaction at any time."
"A deal between friends..." Aragok chewed on this sentence, and after a while he continued, "I can understand the meaning of this, but my children won't understand."
"Of course I understand this." Maca calmly said, "Then, can I talk to you about the deal between friends?"
"Of course." Aragok said, "But, I just want to live quietly in the deep forest. This is an absolutely unchanged premise."
Aragog's meaning is very clear, it does not want to participate in any form of dispute.
"Yes, that's right. My request is very simple-when your bloodline is successfully transformed, can I adopt some of the first children?"
"Mosag won't agree!" Aragog said decisively, "Although I don't care too much, my wife treats every child as her baby! This is the nature of spiders. !"
"It is also the nature of every creature. I understand that...I will take good care of your children, just like Hagrid." Maca barely squeezed a sincere expression, but Aragok was obviously watching Don't understand.
To a spider, human beings are all the same. Even Hagrid, at best, was stronger than ordinary people. In this regard, he was just wasting his efforts.
"I can only help you ask."
Aragok ended the "Man and Spider" trade talk with these words.
is different from when he came, when he went back, Maca enjoyed the eight-eyed giant spider mount, which was a luxurious etiquette that Hagrid had never experienced.
The benefits of eight legs are reflected here, and the shock absorption effect is simply top-notch!
Aragok’s children sent Maca to the edge of the Forbidden Forest. After Maca slipped off his back, it spread out eight more legs and hurriedly left.
On the way back to the castle, Maca walked, thinking carefully about what to do next.
To put it bluntly, if it wasn't for this test that was really difficult, he would have wanted to do it a long time ago.
After a series of changes in the last semester became a foregone conclusion, Maca has decided not to act passively. Although he only wants to be a research wizard quietly, many things can't be accomplished by just thinking, and planning ahead is definitely not a bad thing.
The eight-eyed giant spider grows very fast, and its reproductive ability is quite strong. If it is properly cultivated, it can be more cost-effective than the basilisk. I don’t know where it goes.
is just a matter of bloodline transformation, but it is simple to say but very complicated to do. Fortunately, there is Merlin’s "Book of Juez" in the library for reference. The research on bloodline has been quite in-depth; and Maca himself, originally selected a lot of experimental data from Rowena’s secret room. .
"It's the same sentence, time is really not enough..." Maca shook his head and walked quickly to the dormitory.
……
In the days that followed, trivia came one after another.
First, the test date is approaching, and amidst the sighs of the students, the one who should come is still as promised.
is mandela grass, they are about to mature. This means that those students who were petrified can be saved.
Then, it was the matter between Maca and Ron.
Occasionally, Maca would go to the hospital to see Hermione, but if he met Ron, it would always turn into Ron staring at him angrily.
Even if Maca didn't care about it, Harry would be embarrassed.
One day, Harry and Ron ran into Maca again in the ward.
When Ron glared at Maca, Harry found that Hermione seemed to be holding something in his hand. He leaned forward to take a closer look, and then took out what was in Hermione's hand while Madam Pomfrey was standing between Maca and Ron with a headache.
Maca naturally noticed, because he came so frequently just to witness this incident.
Now that Harry has taken out the note, he can leave.
Maca gave Ron a blank expression, then turned around and walked outside the door decisively, and soon disappeared into Ron's angry gaze.
After a short while, Harry dragged Ron out of the ward.
"Look at this!" Harry whispered, "I found it from Hermione."
This is a page torn from a very old library book~IndoMTL.com~ Harry couldn’t wait to unfold it, Ron also came up, and the two read together:
In our country, there are many terrifying beasts and monsters. Among them, the most bizarre and lethal is the basilisk, also known as the snake king.
The size of this kind of snake can become very huge, usually can live for hundreds of years, it is hatched from a toad from a male egg.
The way it kills is amazing. In addition to its deadly fangs, the stare of the basilisk can also cause death. Anyone who is caught by its gaze will immediately die.
The spider will run away when it sees the basilisk, because the basilisk is the deadly enemy of the spider, and the basilisk can only run away if he hears the rooster's cry, because the rooster's cry is also fatal to it.
Below this passage, there are two words: pipe.
"This is Hermione's handwriting," Harry said excitedly, "I think I understand!"
This crumpled page became a beacon in Harry's mind, guiding all the lost ships to find the right course.
Obviously, Maca’s remedial action was undoubtedly successful, and this ending is exactly what he wanted.
"Ron," he was almost out of breath with excitement, "that's it. The answer is here. The monster in the secret room is a basilisk—a giant snake! No wonder I can hear that voice everywhere I go. , But others can’t hear it. Because I can understand Snakeman…"
"Oh, yes." Ron turned his head and looked at Hermione who was stiff in the ward, "She left us the most important information..."
"...not the Maca she has always trusted." Ron added secretly.
For some reason, Ron's heart was filled with happiness.
