Anton's teaching of the three apprentices also brought many good benefits to the hut, that is, there were finally a few reliable people making suggestions for the 'Top 100 Competition'.
According to the original members of the cabin, Anton, George and Fred have always been called the "Three Weasley Brothers" by others.
Anna often maintains the appearance of a quiet and virtuous aristocratic young woman, but friends who are getting to know her increasingly know that this witch must be thinking about some weird magical mechanical ideas. The so-called quiet and dignified is just a kind of
The state of wandering soul.
As for Hannah, the housekeeper of the cabin, although she can sometimes give good advice, most of the time because she likes to weave stories, she always has some strange suggestions that are unrealistic and full of inexplicable romantic feelings. For example, "Maybe we
We should build a castle for the 'Top 100 Tournament', and then fill it with a dragon and let the warriors save the princess, or something like that.
The only reliable person in the cabin is Neville, but although this naive child is maturing, he prefers to follow the rules step by step. According to Hannah, Neville's head only has plant fibers and no spirituality.
If Minister Fudge hadn't suggested that Anton seize the initiative in the 'Top 100 Tournament', Anton would have definitely wanted to leave this matter to Dumbledore or the Ministry of Magic. All he had to do was provide guidance.
It's fun to propose this event, and it's exciting to watch others fight life and death, but all the preparations, planning, etc. in the middle are so boring. According to Anton's urine, there is a 100% chance that he will be the boss.
.
It was not until the last time that the hut started to think about opening up registrations that the suggestions from the hut members were more unreliable than the last.
First Draco intervened, then Hermione retorted unwillingly, and finally these partners outside the hut organization joined in.
Draco can always think about the operating model of wizarding society from a high perspective. Ron, who upholds the old-school wizarding thinking, talks about ancient traditions in detail, and Hermione, an encyclopedic academic master.
No matter what is mentioned, some historical cases can be given as reference. Goyle and Crabbe look silly but they can always say what they think is common sense but no one knows.
Even Dudley, a child from a Muggle family, seems to be able to think about some problems from a Muggle perspective and come up with different solutions than Harry and Hermione.
On the contrary, Harry, an unreliable player, is the kind of person who sits next to him and exclaims, shouting "Lao Tie 666" along with him.
"Actually, some dangers can be avoided!" Hermione quickly flipped through the notes in her hand. "It is recorded that during the Triwizard Tournament in 1792, the warriors wanted to catch a cockatrice. The cocktail suddenly appeared.
It was out of control and rampant, and the three principals who were referees were all injured."
"Chickentail?" George's eyes suddenly lit up and he turned to look at Fred.
Fred's eyes also lit up, "Sounds like fun!"
"Merlin's beard!" Ron frowned and looked at the two brothers, "What kind of disgusting animal is this?"
George shrugged, "I've never heard of it before, but it sounds like a bird or a snake?"
Fred shook his head, "Hey, there is a difference between a bird and a chicken. They are not the same thing at all in Magical Zoology."
So everyone looked at Hermione, who was also shaking her head in confusion, and then looked at Master Malfoy, who claimed to be knowledgeable, and Draco also shook his head.
"It's the basilisk!" Seeing that no one knew it, Gore was stunned. "Hey, Draco, don't you remember? There is this sculpture in the garden of Grandma Hitaya's scary castle.
Were we still scared at that time?”
Draco recalled it for a moment and still shook his head, "Hell, I did forget it."
Crabz salivated and added, "Draco, have you forgotten? That basilisk has eight oversized chicken legs on its body!"
"!!!"
This description made everyone frown, whether they understood it or not.
"It's a basilisk, not a basilisk." Anton walked in from the door with a smile and placed a large jar in his hand in the corner of the hall on the second floor of the cabin. Then he clapped his hands and walked over to sit next to Anna.
On the sofa next to it.
"The earliest basilisk is a myth and legend, which is a bedtime fairy tale in the eyes of ancient wizards. I think this legend first came from the mouth of a wizard such as a prophet."
Seeing everyone's curiosity, Anton couldn't help but talk lively, "The eggs laid by the rooster, hatched by the toad, grew into the body of a snake, and contained the most powerful poison in nature. The myths and legends of that era were limited to this extent."
"
"Since there is such a legend, generations of wizards will try their best to get it out. No doubt, most of them have failed."
“The most successful one should be the ancient dark wizard ‘Despicable Herbo’.”
Harry was stunned for a moment, "Why do you call him despicable? What did he do?"
"Oh~" Ron shouted, "Harry, please don't interrupt."
Anton thought for a while and shook his head, "I don't know. Maybe the wizards of that era had names like this. They liked to add prefixes in front of their names, or his original name was 'Despicable Herbo'. Maybe in
In that era, such a title was not derogatory, who knows?”
Seeing that Lou was being led astray, George and Fred, who most wanted to know what happened next, urged him again and again.
"Anton, go on, ignore the name!"
Anton smiled and took the ice drink handed over by Anna, took a sip, and then continued, "This 'Despicable Herbo' should be the most successful. He used the ideas of potions and ritual magic to kill the snake.
It’s my fault that this monster that only existed in legends was cultivated.”
"It has a body that is bigger than a viper, a cock-comb head, and its fangs are extremely venomous. It can kill people if they look at it. Even if they don't look at each other, just touching their eyes can turn people to stone."
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "In addition to him, there are also other wizards' research. There are other wizards who have studied from the perspective of alchemy and cultivated chicken-tailed monsters, which are better than the 'despicable Herbo'
'The cultivated basilisk is more like the legendary basilisk."
"It has the same poison and lethal gaze, but it is smaller in size and the lethal gaze is not as powerful. It can only harm insects and small mammals."
"When the cockatrice hatches, it looks like a snake with the head of a rooster. Oh, sometimes it will grow two heads."
"At this time its body is soft and covered with lots of chicken feathers."
"As it grows, it will grow two pairs of side-webbed chicken paws."
"Then, its front paws will become extremely powerful, allowing them not only to swim extremely fast in the water, but also to dig into the soil and burrow into the ground. Their claws are as flexible as human hands."
"Then they enter the adult state, and their hind legs begin to develop and become extremely large, growing to half the length of their body. Its tail begins to lose hair, grows a large number of snake scales, and chicken wings begin to grow on its back.
, looks like a big rooster with a snake tail, and at this time they have the ability to fly briefly."
"Next, as they grow older, they will grow a pair of chicken feet every hundred years. At the same time, it will become more and more powerful."
"Crabbe said there were four pairs of chicken feet on the statue, which means the basilisk is over four hundred years old."
"The basilisk cultivated by the despicable Herbo and the cockatrice cultivated by the alchemist are completely different in their habits."
"The basilisk is very large. It likes dark and humid places and hates sunlight."
"The Cocktail is petite in size. It likes to live in the woods on hills and mountains on the sunny side. It often follows water sources to swim in lakes. It doesn't like dark caves."
"Of course, they all have one thing in common: they are afraid of the crowing of roosters."
"Sometimes a rooster's crow can even kill them instantly."
"As for why I know it so well..."
Anton raised his eyebrows, gently raised his hand and raised his finger to a large vat in the corner.
"Bang~"
The lid on the large vat flew up, spinning in circles on the ground, clanging several times before finally lying flat on the ground.
"Quack quack..."
"I brought one back!"
"!!!"
"!!!"
"!!!"
Dong Dong~
The big tank shook, as if some animal had come to life.
"Ah~~~"
The friends all screamed and ran towards the other side of the hall.
"Anton, are you crazy? You brought such a terrible monster to school!" Hermione screamed, pulling out Harry who was still stunned, and quickly pulled out the wand from the pocket of the wizard's robe with one hand.
George and Fred, who had looked excited just now, also screamed and backed away with fear on their faces.
"Will we be killed?" Crabbe and Goyle, who were still recalling the taste of delicious chicken drumsticks just now, almost cried in fear.
Anton shrugged, "It's okay, it's okay. I tied a piece of cloth around its head. As long as it doesn't fall off and its eyes don't meet, nothing will happen."
"But……"
Ron pointed in horror at the big vat behind Anton. A big rooster's head poked out, shaking a piece of rag on the head. He didn't know how Anton tied it. The piece of cloth obviously couldn't fall off.
