Chapter 791

Solim had one more person to contact in his address book, and he made a deal with Kondrad privately: he provided the materials, and Kondrad would make a set of "autumn clothes and pants" for him...... Of course, the material was basilisk scales, but it would take a long time, but with a set of intimate clothing that could withstand almost any magic damage, Solim felt he could afford to wait. And the price is nothing more than a vial of basilisk venom and two fangs.

When he returned to Hogwarts, Solim felt like a world away. Five minutes before he was shivering in the cold Selwyn Castle, and now he was in front of the sunny gates of Hogwarts, or rather, the gates of the past.

The bodies on the ground were all disposed of—after all, it had been three days. Many parts of Hogwarts Castle have also been restored, but the statues on the castle are still empty, at least for a long time, and the places where the statues should be defended will be empty, and how to replenish them is a headache for Dumbledore or the next Headmaster.

Clenching his fist, the basilisk's scales reflecting an emerald green glow in the sunlight, Solim could imagine Sirna's reaction at this time—along with the underside of the glove.

If Solim is not mistaken, the exam is still about a week away. However, after such a catastrophe, it is still debatable whether Hogwarts will take exams, and even if they do, I believe that few students will be able to calm down and review.

The castle was quiet, many of the portraits in the corridor were missing, and the portraits that survived the battle were basically the ones that were hung very high, usually they were not as conspicuous as the portraits underneath, but at this time, they were particularly eye-catching when there were not a few paintings on the entire wall.

"Oh, Mr. Selwyn," said a somewhat bald wizard in one of the portraits, "Barrow told each of us the other day that if he saw you, let you go to 'the place you know'—of course, I didn't ask Barrow what it was, but if it was you......"

"Okay, I see. Solim looked up at the portrait, and the nameplate read "McDauff of Elgin."

"Oh, you're looking at my nameplate, aren't you?" the wizard in the painting seemed a little excited, "I knew that someone would notice this, I, McDauff of Elgin, the famous alchemist, but alas, they didn't engrave my deeds on the nameplate......"

Solim shook his head, ignoring the somewhat neurotic, bald wizard. Arriving in the basement, he was going to go back to the common room, but when he reached the door, he hesitated and walked instead to the staircase that led to the lower floor, where he was going to take a look.

Not surprisingly, the entire corridor here has been restored, and the various marks on the walls have disappeared as if it had never happened. Solim stretched out his left hand and walked forward as he touched the wall until he came to the entrance he remembered. Solim pressed his hand on it vigorously, but there was no movement, as if it were an ordinary wall.

Solim couldn't forget the thing below, or what Cadmus had said to himself in the conference room not long ago.

————————————————————————————

After Solim finished telling the story of his injury, there was an atmosphere called "silence" in the room. In the end, it was Cadmus who broke the deadlock.

"You see, the dragon?" Cadmus's high-pitched voice seemed to be much deeper than usual, indicating that his heart was not at peace.

"Yes. "

"Were you really in the pit with that Summerby kid at the time, and the dragon didn't do anything to you?"

"Except that the tail moved and he opened his eyes to look at us before we left...... There was no other action. "

There was silence in the conference room again.

"Can I ...... Ask," Solim swallowed nervously, and the old guys in the room looked at him, which made Solim feel a tremendous amount of pressure.

"You want to know about that dragon?" Cadmus seemed to laugh.

"Yes. "

"There's nothing that can't be said. "

Unlike the basilisk, which is an acquired creature bred by wizards, the dragon beneath Hogwarts is a natural magical creature, the same kind as the immortal phoenix, and the dragon cannot be completely killed, once its body is destroyed, the dragon will be reborn centuries later, and each time it is reborn brings a new subspecies: such as the black dragon of the Hirsidire Islands, or the green dragon of Wales......

How many dragons there are now, and how many times has the dragon beneath Hogwarts been killed. The wizards didn't care about this kind of thing at first, after all, every time the dragon was killed, it was a grand feast of spoils, its blood, its flesh, its scales, its bones...... It wasn't until the wizards found that there were more and more dragons around them, and ordinary humans and less powerful wizards were not able to resist in front of these dragons, that the wizards gradually woke up.

At great cost, the wizards sealed the dragon, which could not be killed completely—with its blood, its flesh, its scales, its bones...... Ironically, the materials used by wizards to seal the dragon came from itself. Only a very small amount of material remains.

After sealing the dragon, wizards began to slaughter those wurms, especially those who were wild and extremely harmful to humans, until the remaining dragon species that are still handed down today, and every year most of the materials in the world's dragon farms are purchased by the Presbyterian Church to purify and process more advanced materials, and then use these materials to continue to maintain the seal under Hogwarts.

Clyde (clade) – Latin for calamity, and in English it is a noun meaning evolutionary or evolutionary branch. It is also the name given by wizards to the dragon beneath Hogwarts.

The school had apparently resumed its normal teaching activities, and Solim had returned to the Slytherin common room with no one in sight, and after putting the ash shelves away, Solim was about to stroke Luna, who was sleeping on his pillow, but he didn't expect the black cat to blow up.

Solim frowned as he looked at his left hand, his cat seemed to sense danger.

"Telles, are you there?" Solim began to call out to his sister's pet with the blood of the Unicorn Serpent.

"Dangerous ......"

Solim lay on the carpet and found the snake that was hiding under the bed, which was thicker than his arm.

"Are you saying I'm dangerous?"

Telles ducked deeper, seemingly not wanting to get any closer to Solim.
