Chapter 108

Taking the parchment, Solim looked at it.

It was a mission directive, and Evans was one of the various jumble committees under the Council of Elders. This order tells Evans to investigate all the information about the Basilisk in Hogwarts and give back in order to lay the groundwork for the next move.

"It's clear that the elders want this basilisk. But from what information I have now, you seem to have some kind of control over this basilisk, don't you?" Evans stared at Solim's face.

"You know all about it, and why are you asking me what I'm doing?" Solim moved his shoulder, "I'm trying to say that you can get something more out of the basilisk in my hands, and if Dumbledore really can't resist the pressure of the Presbyterians and let them get the basilisk away, you won't get anything." What do you say?"

Evans didn't speak.

Or ...... Dumbledore directly killed the basilisk and burned the basilisk clean with a fire, so that no one could catch it. A great wizard like Dumbledore must have this ability, so I'll say so much, and you can think about the rest. Solim stood up to leave, "After all, you know, Dumbledore already knows about you, and you'll be at Hogwarts for many years if you don't make some job transfers." "

Evans knew exactly what Solim's bag of snake molts meant for him, it was a hot potato. The snake of the thousand-year-old basilisk is molted, and its value is no longer measurable by Gareons. If the news of this kind of thing in his hand leaks out, of course, Solim and Hogwarts will not be able to escape, but he will not want to get any benefits in the future, and if this kind of thing happens, he will definitely not be able to stay in Hogwarts at that time, and he will not know which corner he will be assigned to at that time. If...... If you choose to hide it or give Solim them cover, then you will definitely get a lot of benefits in return. Evans will choose to hide this kind of thing from above, but he will not hide it from the elders of his family. Being able to build a good relationship with a wizard who owns a thousand-year-old basilisk will obviously improve his status within the family, think about it, the blood of the basilisk, the scales of the basilisk, the venom of the basilisk...... And so on and so forth, as long as you choose to hide it from the Council of Elders, then you will always get all this, and if you choose to report it, then you will not get anything.

Evans quickly sorted out the interests, even if the Presbyterians found out that they were hiding something from them in the future, what could they do? Could they still kill themselves? It's a big deal to transfer themselves out of Hogwarts, but as long as they hide it for a while, then they can get very considerable benefits.

With that in mind, Evans certainly knew what was best for him.

Harry couldn't believe that the last time he opened the Chamber of Secrets would have been Hagrid!Ron already knew about it, after all, he and Harry were in the same dormitory, and at breakfast, Harry told Hermione about it, but what Harry didn't expect was that Hermione reacted a little coldly to this matter.

Regardless, Hermione promised Harry that he would help, much to Harry's relief, and he knew that Hermione was much better than him and Ron when it came to brains.

Compared to Harry and Ron's sluggishness, Hermione was wary of the journal's ability to give people access to her memories. Thanks to Solim, Hermione gained a lot of knowledge from him. A diary can actually allow others to enter his memory, this is not normal, Hermione knows, there is indeed something that can be watched by others, but as far as Hermione knows, only the meditation basin has this function, and the matter of the meditation basin has been discussed with Solim, the meditation basin is an extremely rare alchemy object. It is difficult to make, and the materials are extremely expensive, the inner wall and the outside of the meditation basin are engraved with magic patterns, and there must be a matching alchemy solution in the basin to achieve the effect of viewing and memorizing.

But the diary Harry was talking about, it looked like an ordinary diary, how could it be remembered by people? Hermione clearly sensed that something was wrong, thinking of the strange timing when Harry picked up the diary, Hermione thought that someone had deliberately tried for Harry to get his hands on it.

But because of Solim's reminder, Hermione also sensed something wrong with the school's incident in the secret room, so she decided to take another look.

At the dinner table, Harry and Ron were still discussing Hagrid. Familiar with Hagrid, they easily believed that it was Hagrid who had opened the Chamber of Secrets. And unleashed the monster inside.

After all, Hagrid's love for those monsters was nothing new, thinking about the three-headed dog from last semester, thinking about the fire dragon, and thinking about Hagrid's expression and tone of voice every time he mentioned his cuties, Harry and Ron would certainly believe that Hagrid did it. However, even if it was the secret room that Hagrid opened, Harry and Ron didn't believe that he would deliberately let the monster kill people, and what was going on in the secret room incident back then, Harry decided to ask Hagrid.

But Ron's words made Harry dismiss the idea for a moment, "And what are you going to say to him?' Hey, Hagrid, have you recently released any furry monsters from the castle?' Are you going to say that to him? "

In the end, Harry decided that he wouldn't go to Hagrid to ask about the Chamber of Secrets unless there were further attacks.

For more than a month, there was not a single attack in the castle. Many of the students thought that he was ready to stop whoever the heir was, and Harry was happy, it would be nice if that he didn't have to ask Hagrid those embarrassing questions.

It's March, the weather is starting to warm up, and the mandrakes in the greenhouse are about to ripen. Many students now know that these mandrakes can heal petrified students, and as soon as these ugly mandrakes are ripe, they can know who attacked them. Hermione was noncommittal, Solim had made it clear to her last time: if the school really wanted to treat the petrified students, it would have cured them a long time ago, and it would have waited until now. St. Mungo's must have mandrake potions, and there must be mature mandrakes on the market, but the school didn't do anything. This made Hermione believe Solim's words even more.

But Hermione quickly put the Chamber of Secrets behind them, as they were now going to take classes. A third-year elective, this matter had to be taken seriously by Hermione. Many second-year students began to ask their seniors and seniors about elective classes, and the pure-blooded wizard wrote to his family asking for help.

And Hermione, he decided to ask Solim, and after a long time together, Hermione thought Solim would give her the perfect advice. Hermione also has the same intention as Neville, although Neville's presence in Gryffindor is still the same, but Hermione knows that Neville is now much better than those two unlearned guys, he just doesn't like to talk, and he doesn't jump out like other Gryffindor students.

As Hermione expected, in the small classroom that night, Solim was playing the role of instructor, giving everyone the right advice.

"If you want to go further on your magical path in the future, the Ancient Magic Crest is a must. Solim said: "The magic pattern is the essence of the magic spell, and there is more than one kind of magic pattern, and only Runiwen is taught in the school, which is a very basic magic pattern, and the rest of the complex magic patterns will not be taught in the school." "

If there was a Muggle explanation of the magic pattern, Solim thought it would be appropriate to use a mathematical analogy.

It's like the number 1, to get the answer to 1, you can use addition and subtraction, multiplication and division, four operations, factorial, and of course calculus.

1 represents the effect that the spell is trying to achieve, and the process of deriving the answer to 1 is varied. If mathematics is the foundation of Muggle technology, then the Magic Pattern is the foundation of magic.

"There is no doubt about it," Solim continued, "the magic pattern is an extremely boring subject, but if you want to go further in magic, the magic pattern is a hurdle that must be crossed. "

"The rest of the disciplines are up to you, but I don't recommend divination and Muggle studies. "

After listening to Solim's words, Hermione had already put the ancient magic crest on her list. But hearing Solim's last sentence, Hermione couldn't help but ask, "Why?"

"Divination is based on bloodline, not learned, and if you don't have the bloodline of a soothsayer, then you are wasting your time. Solim wasn't going to waste time with Trelawney, "As for Muggle studies, hehe, many of the professors in the school themselves still don't understand it, and there is nothing constructive about Muggle studies classes, if you don't believe it, the seniors borrow their textbooks to take a look, it's too out of touch with the current Muggle society." "

"As for magical creatures, you can choose if you want. "

"And which ones are you going to choose?" asked Hermione curiously, and Draco and Neville looked at Solim with interest.

"Just one door—the Ancient Demon Pattern. "
