Chapter 194: Although I stab my teammates in the back, I am a pure basilisk!
Damn it... Sean, who had no time to deal with Gormlaith, immediately ran towards the corridor. At the same time, he clenched the phoenix tail in his hand and input the magic power into it.
Although this weird basilisk appears friendly, in the face of a Parselmouth, this guy may immediately turn into a murderous monster!
Something unexpected happened to Sean, the Phoenix did not appear!
His eyes widened in disbelief, this was unreasonable!
Phoenix has the ability to teleport. As long as he calls it, the opponent can arrive in an instant!
The basilisk had completely retracted its body, and Sean could even hear the sharp sound of its hard scales rubbing against the stone floor.
Dave felt Sean's emotions, and the round pupils that it finally turned back to pitch black turned scarlet again, and the mesh-like red cracks on its tail shone red.
"Don't open your eyes! Use your instinct to guard me!" Sean shouted, and then his left hand turned into black particles, and the dark power of Obscurus rose crazily!
Sean closed his eyes tightly, held the wand in his right hand, and without any hesitation, directed the death curse at the only entrance.
"Avada Kedavra!"
His killing intent was strong, and the terrifying green light shot out without any pause.
Sean heard the explosion on the wall when his life-killing curse hit him, but he didn't dare to open his eyes and take aim, so he fired another life-killing curse.
It still didn't hit the target, only the sound of explosions was heard, and the basilisk didn't seem to kill Sean immediately.
What's going on...does this guy know how to avoid the edge temporarily?
Gormlaith's crazy shrill laughter rang out: "Hahaha! You dirty Mudblood! How dare you try to get your hands on Lord Slytherin's treasure?"
"You will die here, and there won't even be anyone to collect your body!"
However, something unexpected happened to Sean.
"you!"
After a scream, Gormlaith's shrill laughter stopped abruptly, and there was no more movement in the stone chamber. Only Dave's rapid and low breathing was left in Sean's ears.
A series of situations happened in a short moment, and even Sean had no clue.
At this time, a low hissing sound sounded, it was the voice of the basilisk.
Sean still didn't put down the wand he held, but he discovered a strange situation. When Gormlaith's voice disappeared, the high-precision speculum that had been shining and rotating stopped.
That basilisk really didn't mean any harm? Sean opened his mouth in surprise.
He only has a little proficiency in Parseltongue. This language magic will automatically convert snake language into words that Sean can understand, just like installing an instant translation device in his head. However, he only listens
You have to understand two words.
"...Snake Whisperer...safe..."
Seeing that he didn't respond, the basilisk hissed briefly again.
"……go back……"
Immediately afterwards, the sound of scales rubbing against the ground was heard again in the stone chamber. Dave's movements on the side calmed down, and even the scarlet round pupils turned back to black.
"It expresses the same meaning as before." Dave scratched his bony head with his claws, making a harsh scratching sound.
"What do you mean...ah? It's crawling back again?"
"That's what it means."
After conveying his thoughts, Dave even dared to stick out half of his head, and then told Sean the situation.
"It went back in, and the brainless woman turned black."
After hearing the news, Sean opened his eyes. He followed Dave's example and stuck out half of his head. Then he was surprised to find that just as Dave saw, the basilisk had moved the first half of its head back.
The body got back into the water.
And just above the ground, a dark figure fell down and floated in the air, just like Edmund who was petrified that day.
Gormlaith was stared directly at by the basilisk!
Sean looked at the Basilisk in disbelief - are there snakes in the world that are not controlled by Parseltongue?
The basilisk had just spun around so fast that it collapsed a few nearby shelves, but other than that, it didn't cause any damage.
Sean even had a ridiculous feeling - the Basilisk retracted its body so quickly not to attack him, but to attack Gormlaith who spoke Parseltongue.
"What the hell..."
For the first time, Sean felt that the world was so psychedelic.
Even if he failed to summon the phoenix, the basilisk that was supposed to be controlled by Parseltongue and become an enemy instead became the 'nemesis of evil'...
That's not right... Sean remembered that just ten minutes ago, he had learned a few passages of Parseltongue recorded in Alais's diary, and he pronounced the syllables normally, but the Basilisk did not attack him at that time.
.
Why? Because he didn’t die after being stared at by it, or because of his super high affinity with magical animals?
Sean looked at the big emerald snake, and a strange feeling arose in his heart.
When facing magical animals, his intuition is always very accurate, and now, his intuition is that this basilisk is very friendly to him.
Sean twitched the corner of his mouth. The basilisk was so friendly that he helped others deal with the descendants of Slytherin... Salazar Slytherin would probably be so angry that he resurrected when he heard the news...
He stood there and hesitated for a moment, and finally took out Alais's diary. If he didn't understand this bizarre thing today, Sean felt that he wouldn't be able to sleep well in the future.
After spending more than two hours, Sean's Parseltongue proficiency has reached 1500/10000, and he clearly feels that the difficulty of learning has greatly increased, and the proficiency has gradually stagnated from the initial surge.
"However, although I can't speak a few words, I should have no problem understanding the basic meaning..." Sean muttered a few words, and then gestured to Dave.
He wanted to hear what the basilisk had to say.
Dave flew over the basilisk's body and poked it with his claws, communicating with animals instinctively.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Sean hid in the corridor again.
The basilisk's movements were much slower this time. It retracted its body and its orange eyes were firmly closed.
"Hiss..."
"Hiss..."
"Hiss..."
This time, Sean finally managed to understand what the basilisk meant.
"I just attacked the snake whisperer, you are safe now."
"I can probably understand what you're thinking, but I won't attack you."
"After I was born, I received an order from my master. If a snake whisperer enters the stone chamber, I can attack him."
Sean: "..."
"..."
"What the hell?"
The basilisk got instructions from its master and took the initiative to attack the Snake Whisperer?!
The guy in front of him obviously has a very high IQ, and he can even understand Sean's concerns.
"Although you know a little bit, you are not a snake whisperer - a snake whisperer doesn't have a good smell, not even the owner."
Does it smell good? Sean touched his cheek. The blood stains on it had not been cleaned yet. Plus, he hadn't taken a shower for a week. Sean felt like a moldy pie now.
Does he have affinity with magical animals? The three little pets he keeps often describe him as "smells good".
"Who is your master?" Sean hissed.
"I don't know his name, but he raised me, and by the way, his voice is very similar to the one just now."
The voice just now, wasn't it the projection of Slytherin?
Slytherin let the Basilisk attack the Snake Whisperer? Sean's head was a little down for a while.
This is unrealistic... Could it be that Slytherin later secretly returned to Hogwarts and became insane?
In other words, the owner of this basilisk may not be Slytherin, but was disguised by someone else in order to completely seal the secrets of this stone room.
Secret... Sean looked at the pensieve in the cubicle.
"Has that hidden room ever been opened?"
"Yes." The basilisk replied.
"who?"
"I."
"you?"
"Yes," the basilisk nodded happily, "in order to hide those three people."
Those three bones?
Sean asked: "Why?"
"This is what my master taught me. If you hide the body, those who come after you will relax their vigilance, which will facilitate my sneak attack."
Xiao En was stunned on the spot. He didn't expect that the bones in the compartment were actually moved by a basilisk.
"The owner said that the body cannot be thrown into the lake because the creatures at the bottom of the lake will tell the truth, so we can only hide it there."
"In other words, you killed all three of these three people, and no one else came in after that?"
"Yes, only these three people came in, and then no one came for a long time, until you came in - I was very sorry that day, I was always a snake here and forgot to close my eyes.
"
Sean stumblingly communicated with the basilisk for a while, and then he realized that after the basilisk hatched naturally, Slytherins, or people pretending to be Slytherins, came back here to feed it and then inject it with...
After giving an order, he never came back.
For so many years, the basilisk has stayed in the stone chamber by itself. It doesn't even know that there is another of its own kind in the castle - this guy usually only goes out to hunt fish in a small area, and sleeps when he doesn't have enough to eat.
When he was too hungry to sleep, he went out to hunt for food.
In this way, this basilisk has lived alone for so many years. Except for those three unlucky people, it has never met anyone else until Sean entered the stone chamber.
The place where Slytherin hid his treasure became the basilisk's hiding place.
What a magical story...
The basilisk in front of him is already higher than Dave in terms of IQ (in fact, Sean thinks he is stronger than Crabbe and Goyle), but because he has always lived alone, his mind is very simple.
Yes, although it sounds weird, Sean can feel that this basilisk that almost killed him has a very simple mind...
Sean feels that if he writes a book "Days and Nights with the Basilisk", it will definitely become a hit!
However, the current news made Sean confirm another thing, that is, the pensieve is actually not dangerous.
According to the Basilisk, the box had never been opened except when it got out on its own.
When Sean asked if he could take the treasure, the basilisk said that it would be fine if you were happy.
The only orders it received were to attack the Snake Whisperer and protect the treasure? That didn't exist - the master never said that anyway.
This aroused Sean's curiosity, and he took out the high-precision speculum.
First, he is close to the petrified Gormlaith. The ghost of this cruel witch still maintains an incredibly frightened expression.
Sean put the speculum close to Gormlaith, and then the speculum slowly rotated.
Even though she has been petrified, Gormlaith has not been obliterated, and she still harbors malice towards me in her solidified thoughts...
Sean nodded thoughtfully and brought the speculum closer to Dave, but there was no movement.
This is very reasonable. Dave and I understand each other and will not pose any threat to me...
Sean brought the looking glass closer to the basilisk again, and the looking glass began to rotate slowly again.
It is understandable that although the basilisk has no ill intentions towards me, it has special abilities and can hurt me if I am not careful. But since this is not its original intention, the looking glass will only rotate slowly.
You know, when Gormlaith woke up just now, the looking glass was shining and spinning crazily.
It seems that the rotation of the looking glass represents the degree of malice of a certain person or thing towards you.
Sean placed the speculum close to the pensieve without rotating it.
It looked like there was really no danger... Uneasy Sean took out another thing.
Unstable coin (purple): a divination prop. After saying something specific, throw the coin. Heads represents affirmation, tails represents negation. The remaining number of uses is 5/5 (note: the head or tail of the coin will be affected by weather, mood, and luck.
Uprightness often occurs. Moderate divination is good for the body and mind, while superstitious predictions are harmful to health)
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! This thing was obtained from the last lottery. Because of the unstable effect, Sean has never used it. Moreover, before this, because of the three bones, he instinctively
I thought there was something wrong with the pensieve, so I didn't want to use the unstable coin.
However, you can try it now.
Sean held the coin and thought to himself: Entering the Pensieve in the hidden compartment of the Slytherin Stone Chamber would endanger my life.
Then he tossed the coin and let it fall naturally.
The coin hit the ground with a crisp sound and slowly stopped after swinging back and forth for a while.
The flip side!
That means that entering the pensieve is not life-threatening.
Worth trying…
Sean took a deep breath and stood in front of the pensieve, then buried his head and plunged into it.
After being weightless in the darkness for a while, Sean stepped on the dark stone road.
In front of you is a huge stone chamber. In the center of the platform, a huge statue stands there.
This is the secret room...
Then, Sean saw the figure in front of him, it was Salazar Slytherin.
"Remember my gestures and spells."
After Slytherin said this, he directly began to demonstrate the curse.
However, Sean discovered a serious problem. Slytherin had a good intention and wanted to leave more knowledge. But - all he demonstrated were ancient spells!
Sean, who was as talented as a ghost in runes, didn't learn much at all except for a moment of dizziness.
A dozen ancient spells with a proficiency level of only 1 appeared on his panel...
What a huge loss... Sean is about to cry, you might as well teach me some black magic...
After demonstrating the spell, Slytherin put his hands behind his back and looked at his statue.
"This is the final gift - the secret of Hogwarts."
His voice was full of seriousness. Sean's eyes lit up and he stood up straight unconsciously.
"The castle relies on magic, and it itself is also a powerful magic item! And I will tell you how to channel the authority of Hogwarts Castle."
