Chapter 186 Slytherin’s Snake Staff

Good name! Wright secretly gave Dumbledore a thumbs up, his naming skills are almost as good as mine!

"In this case, Tom Riddle will become the new principal's secretary, the Horcrux diary will be sent to Dumbledore, and the Millennium Basilisk will be placed in the Chamber of Secrets and cannot come out." Wright looked at it. Riddle glanced at it and thought to himself, "Most of the matters regarding the secret room have been solved. Although we don't know what will happen in the rest of this semester, at least we have completed the entire plot of the original work."

Thinking of this, Wright, who was completely relaxed, finally couldn't help but yawned. At this time, all the sunlight filtered into the principal's office from the windows on the wall. The sky outside had changed from night to day, and the bright sun hung high in the sky. In other words, Wright had been in the principal's office all night.

"Teacher, if there is nothing else, I will go back and rest first." Wright said goodbye to Dumbledore and prepared to leave.

"Sorry, Wright, there may be one more thing that needs to delay your time." Dumbledore said apologetically.

"What's going on?" Wright asked.

"Of course it's a basilisk!" Tom, no, his name should be Jerry now, he said full of resentment.

"Yes, it's the basilisk." Dumbledore nodded, "I heard from Nicolas Flamel that you learned a magical animal sealing magic from him during the summer vacation? You also sealed Fluffy into your new wand. middle?"

Wright frowned and glanced at Jerry shyly.

"No, you don't have to look at Jerry Green like that." Apparently Dumbledore was gradually getting used to Riddle's new name, "I can now trust Jerry Green as much as I trust myself."

Because I can't raise any objection to your order at all! Nor can you do anything outside of your limits! Jerry roared loudly in his mind.

Wright still frowned. Although he didn't know why Dumbledore would trust the new Tom Riddle so much, Dumbledore's trust couldn't be groundless. He must have his own reasons. Maybe Tom was forced to sign some magical contract whose violation would have extremely serious consequences?

"Then that's the case, I'll just say it." Wright said, "During the summer vacation, I did learn a profound magical animal sealing magic from Nicolas Flamel. But Dumbledore, you mean to ?”

Wright was a little skeptical, but felt that such an idea was indeed what a person like Dumbledore should have.

"Yes, I want to seal the basilisk in the Chamber of Secrets into other magical instruments. I need your help." Dumbledore said, "Let a thousand-year-old basilisk run rampant in Hogwarts Castle. This Things are really too dangerous. Even though the basilisk has not caused any big trouble on its own in the past thousand years, now that I have figured out the specific location of the basilisk, I naturally need to eliminate this hidden danger. Solve it as soon as possible.”

Wright nodded without any surprise. This was indeed the precautionary awareness a conscientious principal should have.

"Then Dumbledore, do you have any magic items of sufficient level to withstand the power of the basilisk?" Wright asked again.

The rose scepter was used to seal Lu Wei before, but it was also an alchemy tool carefully crafted by Nicoléme, and also used various mysterious magic materials. If it were an ordinary magic item, Wright didn't believe it could take on the important task of sealing the basilisk.

"I think Wright, you may have underestimated the heritage of Hogwarts. As a magic school that has been established for thousands of years, even I, the principal, dare not claim to fully understand the secrets hidden in Hogwarts," Dumbledore said.

As he spoke, Dumbledore stretched out his right hand toward a corner of the office. There was a sound of the box opening and closing, and then, a cane that was all black and made of strange material flew out from the direction where Dumbledore's hand was reaching. The cane was faintly emitting a faint light, and there was an emerald green snake coiled around the body, winding up and down. At the head of the staff, a strange snake bared its teeth and spat out a message, which was strange and ferocious.

Wright hadn't recognized what it was, but Jerry yelled out: "How is that possible! Slytherin's snake staff?! How could it appear in the principal's office?! Legend has it that Slytherin had left with it Hogwarts!"

Dumbledore caught the snake staff flying towards him steadily and laid it across the table in front of him.

"Maybe there is some fallacy in the legend?" Dumbledore said with a smile, "Anyway, I have known about the existence of the snake staff since I became the principal."

Jerry still looked in disbelief.

"If you have Slytherin's snake staff as a sealing prop, I think it is enough." Wright said. "Then let's go quickly. It's already dawn outside. If it's any later, other students may see us."

"Wright, you have forgotten something again." Dumbledore still looked unhurried, "As the principal, I have the authority to disapparate in Hogwarts."

"Oh, right." Wright patted his head, feeling a little confused after staying up all night.

"Okay, let's go now." Dumbledore stood up from the chair, still holding the Slytherin snake staff in his hand.

Then, Dumbledore took Wright, Fox and Jerry to Myrtle's bathroom, a location Dumbledore also learned from Jerry.

Apparently, Myrtle felt greatly uncomfortable with these unexpected guests.

"Mr... principal?" Myrtle looked very nervous and stammered.

As she spoke, Myrtle stood up from the toilet. Her hands hung down on both sides of her body, tightly attached to the outside of her thighs, as if she had completely forgotten that she was now a dead ghost and not a former Eagle Academy student.

"I'm sorry, Ms. Warren." Dumbledore said politely, "We need to borrow this bathroom for a while. Could you please go out first?"

"Of course, I mean, no problem." Myrtle said quickly. She didn't care why the principal appeared in the women's bathroom at this time, nor why the green-haired boy looked so familiar. She just wants to get away from the principal as soon as possible. After all, few normal students would like to stay with the principal, even if Myrtle has been dead for forty or fifty years.

"Teacher, I have to mention that we must pay attention to confidentiality issues." Wright suddenly reminded, "Including the former Miss Weasley and the ghosts in the castle. After all, the existence of the basilisk is too dangerous."

"Of course I know this." Dumbledore said with a smile. He even felt that Wright had missed one thing, which was that many people had seen Riddle's current appearance, and this also needed to be kept secret from everyone.

The process of sealing the basilisk is very simple. Just like Wright has nearly complete control over Lu Wei, Jerry, as a Parselmouth, also has great influence over the basilisk. Therefore, without spending any effort, the basilisk was sealed into the snake staff.

In the secret room.

"So what else do we need to do now?" Wright asked Dumbledore.

In fact, staying up all night is a pretty magical experience. When you get through the most sleepy period, you will find that you are full of energy. Just like Wright now, he could no longer feel the presence of sleep at all.

"No, there's nothing you need to do for now, Wright. You can just go and rest now."

After saying that, Dumbledore threw the snake staff directly to Jerry, which was also his original plan. Although he was resurrected from the diary, Jerry still didn't have a wand that was enough for him to use, and Slytherin's snake staff just happened to be useful.

Jerry took the snake staff without saying a word. Anyway, now that he had completely become the principal's secretary, he could only accept everything Dumbledore did.

"Oh! By the way, there is one more thing." Dumbledore suddenly said, "Remember to keep the secret room secret."

"Okay." Wright nodded, "But teacher, what are you going to do with the basilisk?"

"Um?"

"I think the existence of the basilisk is still necessary, at least to help students improve their vigilance." Wright said, "Moreover, don't we also have corresponding professional manpower that can continue to deal with this kind of thing?"

Wright and Dumbledore looked at Jerry at the same time.
