Spotted By Grindelwald And Went To Hogwarts Chapter 284: How to borrow the power of the basilisk safely
Sean did not go to the Slytherin common room, but bypassed the noisy and lively playground, and walked towards the Black Lake from the other side of the castle.
It's too troublesome to go in and out from there all the time. The last time he went, he met Gore who was still eating and drinking in front of the campfire in the early morning.
The small secret room there has a passage leading to the Black Lake, and the basilisk is quite familiar with the bottom of the lake, so Sean changed the meeting place to the Black Lake.
Following the path by the lake all the way north, and then using the Levitation Charm and Dave to cross the cliff, Sean went around to the other side of the Black Lake, which is probably the furthest point within the range of Hogwarts, facing the castle across the lake, and the border with the Forbidden Forest is also blocked by mountains.
Finding a fairly open rocky place by the lake, Sean took out a huge scale, which is a scale on the neck of the basilisk. As long as it is tapped with a specific rhythm, the basilisk can hear his call.
Dipping half of the scale into the lake water, Sean tapped **** the upper half quickly, and then retreated behind the rock.
After a while, the water in the lake was churning, countless foams surged up, and the head of a huge basilisk emerged from the black lake.
However, if there are outsiders watching this scene, it will be a bit weird.
By the Black Lake, a man and a snake turned their backs to each other, and the huge Winged Demon was flapping its wings in mid-air.
"It has its head on its back." Dave thought, and Sean turned around.
It's not that he doesn't trust the basilisk. This guy in front of him is completely different from his legendary clansmen. He has a high IQ and is very simple. Several encounters have proved that he has no intention of harming Xiao En.
But the basilisk itself is synonymous with fatality. In order not to disappear for seven days at a time, Sean still takes care.
A hoarse and loud hiss came out of the basilisk's mouth, and it was still swaying leisurely with its back facing Sean's big head.
"Are you here?" Sean, whose Parseltongue proficiency has been upgraded, easily understood what the basilisk said, and even felt a little joy from it.
Sean also hissed: "Well, I promised to see you in a while, it's been a little longer this time, sorry."
"Long time?" The basilisk was slightly puzzled.
Sean was dumbfounded, that's right, the Basilisk, a long-lived magical creature, has a different concept of time from him.
Last time, he came too fast and left too fast. This time, Sean, who had time to chat, found a place to sit down and asked curiously, "Are you usually active at the bottom of the black lake?"
"No." The basilisk seemed to understand that shaking its head was a negative meaning in human language. It shook its head, and then stopped completely - it promised that the person behind would not turn its head.
"I usually rarely enter the Black Lake except for predation. On the one hand, it is unnecessary, and on the other hand, there is danger in the Black Lake."
"Dangerous?" Sean frowned.
He has heard many legends about the Black Lake, but there are only two endings to the stories. One is that some kind of terrible magical creature is hidden in the deepest part of the Black Lake, and the other is that Godric Gryffindor has never left, and he is hidden in the Black Lake.
The basilisk hissed with some dignity: "From my instinctive hunch, there is a crack to the north of the center of the Black Lake, and I feel danger every time I approach it."
"Is it some kind of magical creature or dark magic?"
"I don't know, I don't feel this way about other creatures under the Black Lake, and those ugly half-human half-fish never go near there."
Shawn nodded thoughtfully. He still remembered the message left by Slytherin himself. The four founders of Hogwarts were attracted here by the message in a dream. The territory of Hogwarts itself is very mysterious.
The crack in the Black Lake probably really hides some secret that no one knows.
However, just listen to it as a story, the basilisk thinks it is dangerous, and if he goes to explore, it is tantamount to death.
Sean changed the subject, and the true intention of the trip became apparent.
"Aren't you bored after staying here for so long?"
The basilisk seemed a little confused, and it finally nodded: "I didn't understand one thing when I was young, but with the passage of time, using your human thinking, my wisdom has improved, and my emotions are much more than those big fish in the Black Lake. They are hunting and multiplying. My instinct is to hunt, but after a long time, I occasionally feel empty in my head, and the whole snake loses interest. I even want to go out to the mermaid lair to make a big fuss."
"Emotional needs, highly intelligent animals have this performance, you have stayed for too long as a snake."
"It seems to be like this."
Shawn remembered another thing: "There is one of your kind in the castle, did you know that?"
"I know." The basilisk rubbed its scales on the raised part of the rock, "but to be precise, it's not the same as me, except for its resemblance, it can't communicate at all."
"What do you mean?"
"Wisdom? Its intelligence is lower than that of the ugly mermaid. Every time it is really hungry, it swims out of the pipe to hunt for food. When it is full, it goes back quickly. I tried to communicate with it, but it just wants to eat me."
Shawn held his chin and nodded. It was the same as what Slytherin said in his notes. Ordinary basilisks have extremely low IQ and only have the instincts of predation and killing.
After chatting with the basilisk about its daily life in the Black Lake, Sean hissed: "The secret room you guarded is empty, so you don't seem to need to stay there?"
The basilisk hesitated a bit: "But, the master's order is that I stay there all the time... to kill the basilisk whisperer..."
"But, before me, it's been a long time since the Parsel whisperer went there?"
"Yes, yes... I have thought about this problem. Using human thinking, I think that the descendants of the snake whisperers have gained experience—just like the bottom of the lakes I frequent, there are very few big fish, and they are getting farther and farther away from me. If the snake whisperer came to the secret room and did not return, then his descendants can gain experience...Humans are much smarter than those big fish?"
Sean clapped his hands: "That's the reason! So it's pointless for you to stay there."
"But, but..." The basilisk seemed to be organizing its words.
"Are you afraid that your master won't find you when he returns?" Sean asked.
"No...the master didn't leave me an order to wait for him, and I also understand that a human like you died much earlier than me, right?"
The corners of Sean's eyes twitched, you're asking... your EQ is low, brother.
The basilisk continued: "So, the master may have disappeared in this world for a long time. I thought about it, if the master died, would I still have to stay there? I am confused, but I have always been a snake, and there is no other creature that can communicate with me to give me advice."
There is drama! Sean's eyes lit up, and he said persuasively, "Didn't you meet me? I can chat with you, and you don't hate me, do you?"
"I don't hate it, you smell very good, much more fragrant than those big fish." As he spoke, the basilisk hissed quickly again, as if explaining, "I didn't mean to eat you."
"I understand," Sean smiled, "You want to be my friend, right?"
With the magic power of Parseltongue and the high intelligence of the basilisk, it understands words very quickly, and after a while, it nodded heavily: "Yes, I want to be friends with you."
"Isn't that just right? Although you almost stared at me to death, it was an accident after all, and I have always been generous and friendly. I have decided, and now I forgive you."
"Ah, thank you," said the basilisk gratefully.
"Then we are friends now?"
"Yes, yes, friend." The basilisk flicked its tail cheerfully, and accidentally cracked a rock.
Sean walked away from the stone silently, and continued: "Since we are friends, and your master is no longer in this world, I think, why don't you come with me?"
"Go?"
"Yes, change the environment, change the way of life, and also change the taste - don't you get tired of eating fish every day?"
"It's not greasy, and I eat it once a month." The basilisk corrected seriously.
"Well, this is just a way of expression, you are still young, and you still don't understand it."
"Oh, well."
Sean looked up at the basilisk, its emerald green head with a metallic hue was shining in the sun.
"Then do you want to come with me?" Sean unconsciously took on a hint of bewitching.
The basilisk nodded quickly: "Okay, then I will go with you."
Huh? So fast?
The surprise came so quickly, Sean was even stunned for a moment. He didn't expect the basilisk to be so forthright—he originally thought that he would have to chat with him several times in his crappy Parseltongue.
He was overjoyed, and he stood up neatly and patted the dust on his buttocks: "Then it's settled."
But the basilisk still has doubts: "I'm too, too fat, I'm not like your green-haired moth that can shrink, and my eyes are terrible, I can't guarantee to close them all the time-this may hurt you."
Green-haired moth? Sean froze for a moment before realizing that the other person said it was Dave... He shook his head amusedly: "That's not a green-haired moth, it's my friend, it's a curled-winged demon named Dave, and it doesn't matter how big you are, I can fit you in."
"Dave, I remember... what about my eyes?"
Sean licked his slightly dry lips, hissing sound was a bit sharp because of excitement: "Do you usually need your eyes to move normally?"
"No, I can smell the creatures around me, and, and..." The basilisk struggled with how to describe it.
"You can feel the vibrations nearby to analyze your surroundings, and then you can feel the heat of the living things, right?" Sean asked.
"Yes, that's what it means, how do you know? You are so smart..."
Snakes are like this...
Sean continued to ask: "That means, even if you don't have eyesight, it won't affect you, right?"
"Yes." The basilisk nodded.
Same as my guess...
"Then let me ask, can your gaze not only kill living things, but also destroy inanimate matter?"
"Okay, if I want to, but it's not very powerful."
"Be more specific."
"Well... If I desperately want to kill a creature, then my gaze will be more deadly. At this time, the object I see will be destroyed, and my gaze will make the object's heat higher..."
Sure enough, Sean has a deep memory of a plot in the original book. The kid in the first grade who likes to take pictures (of course, he now knows that the other person is Colin Creevey) was petrified. He saw the eyes of the basilisk through the camera.
This proves that the basilisk's gaze has limited damage to objects.
Sean walked up to the basilisk and patted its hard and cold scales: "I have a solution."
"Really?" the basilisk hissed sounding pleased.
"That's right, but I have to hurry up and get ready. I'm going to have a holiday the day after tomorrow. I hope I can make it in time."
"Okay, what do I need to do?"
"Hmm... lean down..." Sean stretched out his hands and stroked the basilisk's head, then took out a measuring tape, and measured the size of the basilisk's head obediently.
After finishing the work, he said: "Just go back and wait for my news. See you in two days."
"Okay, friend, goodbye."
The basilisk didn't turn its head from the beginning to the end, and its eyes were even more tightly closed. It lowered its head and got into the water. After a huge splash, the lake gradually calmed down.
Sean cast a levitation spell on himself, then grabbed Dave's tail tentacles, and one person and one winged demon flew towards the way they came.
Feeling the cool breeze blowing across the lake on his face, Sean raised his eyebrows.
"It's time to feel the power of a wave of technology and money."
Sean, who returned to Hogwarts safely, quickly wrote a letter.
"Dear Papa:"
"How are you, mother and Ella doing? I will be leaving home the day after tomorrow. Of course, this has been told to you in the previous letter. I am writing at this time to ask for a favor from the respected Mr. Wallop..."
"...You can understand it as a pair of glasses for snakes. Of course, the size should be scaled up. I will list the specific data below..."
"...The overall weight of the glasses should be light, and the back of the head should be adjustable. The frame should be made of strong and tough materials, with two layers of lenses. The inner layer should be transparent and high temperature resistant, and the outer layer should be able to completely isolate the line of sight of the inner layer. If possible, can you design a mechanical switch~IndoMTL.com~ so that I can use the controller to quickly open one or two layers of lenses..."
"...This is my request, I need this very urgently, please dad."
"Love you Sean."
After writing the letter, Sean sealed the parchment into an envelope and quickly went to the owl shack. After handing the letter to Gu Gu, he put coins in the leg holders of all the remaining public owls. If there was time, the things should be quite big, but thirty or so owls should be enough... He bought a mannequin weighing several dozen catties, and one owl would be sent over.
After watching the spectacular flock of owls headed by Goo Goo go away, Sean walked out of the owl shack with satisfaction.
This thing is not afraid of being checked by people, no one can guess what it is used for... If he can make it in time, he can take the basilisk away first, and then let his father ask someone to design it when he returns home.
I'm such a clever little ghost.
