Chapter 85

"Wow, let me see, a student who doesn't sleep at night and likes to wander around......" Peeves apparently spotted Solim, who was bored and ready to get the little wizard ready.

Solim's eyes lit up when he saw Peeves.

"Peeves, where's Barrow the Bloody?"

Hearing the name of Barrow the Bloody, Peeves was visibly startled and began to look around.

"I didn't see him in the Astronomy Tower, I'm looking for him now, where is he now?"

"Aha! Damn little ghost, how dare you scare the great Peeves! Lord Barrow isn't here at all!" Seeing Barrow the Bloody, Peeves began to grin at Solim.

"It's because he's not there, that's why I'm asking you where he is, and you're sure you know. Solim said without annoyance, he didn't want to mess with this crazy elf. "I have something to do with Barrow, don't delay, or I'll tell Barrow when the time comes, you have ruined his business. "

Peeves are clearly afraid of Barrow the Bloody, as many Hogwarts students know. But no one had ever taken advantage of this against Peeves, and Solim was the first.

"Don't! Don't tell Master Barrow. Peeves shuddered, "But Lord Barrow isn't here all day, and he can't be found for a few days every month." "

Frowning, Solim looked at Peeves and said fiercely, "Don't try to lie! I'll tell Bloody Barrow about you deceiving me, and if you don't want to suffer, tell me quickly, where is Bloody Barrow?"

"Peeves don't know!" Peeves shuddered, he was obviously terribly afraid of Barrow the Blood, "Lord Barrow doesn't want anyone else to know. "

After thinking about it, Solim said: "If you see Barrow the Bloody, say that Solim Selwyn of Slytherin has something to do with him, or you will come to me directly after you see him, tell me where he is, hear clearly!"

After making sure Peeves remembered his words, Solim left the Tower. It was late, but Solim wasn't ready to go back to rest. He was going to look up some information overnight and plan what to do next.

Seriously, Solim now somewhat regretted giving the journal to Dumbledore. If he had known that this would happen, Solim would have kept the diary himself, and when he was done with his own affairs, he would destroy it and give it to Dumbledore, so there wouldn't be so much.

Solim's wand glowed brightly, and the portraits in the hallway kept complaining and protesting, but Solim didn't bother to pay attention to these things, he was on his way to the small classroom. He knew he had to hurry up now, and get everything done as much as possible before Dumbledore could start making concrete moves.

Basilisks are indeed terrifying, not to mention the deadly nature of a thousand-year-old basilisk. But Solim is not without chances, those powerful magical creatures have sharp claws and sturdy scales, and some have not weak intelligence, but wizards never rely on brute force when dealing with these magical creatures that are clearly stronger than themselves.

That's where Solim's search for the bloody man Barrow comes in. As a student of Salazar Slytherin, Solim thinks he might know something about the basilisk, after all, Voldemort also got clues from Barrow when he was a student. And given that Barrow disappears for a few days every month, Solim doesn't think Barrow is going to Ravenclauta to catch up with Ms. Gray.

Solim had tried to find the location of the secret room on the living map, but it was clear that the magic left by Salazar Slytherin was still strong, and even though Solim knew the exact location of the entrance, there was nothing on the living map, it was just a normal room, and the secret passage was not shown on the map at all.

In the evening of the next day, Solim ascended the Astronomy Tower under the guidance of Peeves, where he met Barrow the Bloody. The students all say that Barrow the Bloody is a terrible ghost, and not only Peeves is afraid of him, but other ghosts can also see the fear of Barrow the Bloody. Barrow had hollow eyes and an emaciated face, as well as silver blood stains on his robes.

"Hello, Barrow. Solim said hello first.

"Little Naughty told me that there was a Slytherin student looking for me. That must be you. Barrow's voice was hollow, and Solim dared to say that few people in the school had heard the voice of Barrow the Bloody.

"That's right, I'm looking for you to ask you a few things. Solim didn't procrastinate, and asked his own question directly: "The great founder Salazar Slytherin left a basilisk in the school, is it active now, is it able to communicate, is it as the legend has it - it exists to purge Muggle students, or to defend against foreign enemies." Barrow, these questions are important, and I think you're the one most likely to know them at Hogwarts. "

After listening to Solim's words, the eyes of the bloody Baro were no longer empty, his eyes became sharp, and he stared straight at Solim, and said sharply: "How do you know about the Basque Country! I tell you! I will never allow anything against the will of the dean to happen! I tell you! You don't want to know anything from me! I will never be deceived again!" After saying that, the bloody Baro turned around and prepared to leave here.

Seeing this, Solim immediately spoke: "Barrow, you misunderstood, the man is back, he wants to open the Chamber of Secrets again, and then use the basilisk to clean up the Muggle students at the school! "

Hearing this, Barrow the Bloody Man stopped.

He ...... Is he back?" Barrow's voice trembled, "He's back, and how dare he come back?! I was so blind! I would have believed his nonsense!"

"So...... Didn't the Basilisk stay with Slytherin to get rid of Muggle students?" asked Solim, who could deduce this fact from some ancient records, but who wanted to hear Barrow, the insider, tell the truth.

"Of course not! In those chaotic times, the school was attacked almost every few months, sometimes by the dark creatures, sometimes by the dark wizards with ignorant Muggles, in short, the school was threatened all the time, and for this reason, the dean would leave a basilisk, he was afraid that when he left, the school's protective measures would be broken, which would ruin his hard work, and the Basque would never attack the people in the school. "

"But as far as I know, there was still a student at the school who died and became a ghost, and I'm sure you know who she is. "

Barrow closed his eyes: "That was a huge mistake, it was my mistake...... I shouldn't have believed him. "

"But he's back now, right in school. As long as he gets the chance, he will still open the secret room. "And I want to stop this from happening, so, Barrow, can you answer my question?"

"This is the period of activity for the Basque, he has just woken up from his slumber, and as for communication, of course the Basque can communicate, in fact, since I ...... After it became like this, every time Basque woke up from his slumber I would go and see him, he had been in that place for too long, the school had not been attacked for a long time, and Basque had been there, in fact, he had been asleep, but every once in a while he had to wake up and then fall back to sleep. The dean had given him an order not to harm the students in the school, but that man ......" At this point, Barrow's tone began to become angry: "He induced Basque to kill a student unintentionally. Now that he's back, why don't you go to the current headmaster for help? Dumbledore is the most powerful headmaster I've seen in nearly 100 years, you can go and ask for his help. "

But our principal is also an "accomplice" in this matter, Solim smiled bitterly in his heart.

"The Basque can communicate with people, can they?"

"Of course, as long as it's a parseltongue, you can naturally communicate with the Basques. Barrow the Bloody looked at Solim and asked, "Are you?"

Shaking his head, Solim replied, "No, I'm not, but my sister is." Are you sure he won't hurt the students?"

"Of course! Basque will never hurt a student!" Barrow exclaimed, and then his voice came down again, "But there is no one in the school to communicate with him except me." "

"You still know how to speak of Parseltongue?"

"I learned it from the dean, and the parseltongue can be mastered through learning, but my talent is not good, and I can only say a few words, but Rowena can communicate with the dean in snake language. "

After thinking about it, Solim looked at Barrow and said, "Well, let's make an appointment and I'll take my sister to see the Basque, but you have to promise me that he will never hurt the student, and let him close his eyes when the time comes." "
