Chapter 88

Barrow's words made Solim feel a little bad, if Riddle had absolute dominance over the Basques, that is, as long as Riddle was given access to the Basques, then the Basque would be controlled by him. Even Parseltongues like Harry and Silna can no longer exert any influence on the Basques.

Is there any chance that this pact will be dissolved, or can it be re-established? Solim immediately asked Barrow two very crucial questions.

If the contract can be dissolved, then just find a way to break the contract between Basque and Riddle, and if the contract can be re-established with others, then let Sylna re-establish the contract with Basque so that she can also check and balance with Riddle. When Riddle was alone, even if Basque was reluctant, he could only do what Riddle had to do, but if there was another contractor who gave instructions that were in line with Basker's wishes, then Basque would favor the other person.

Solim looked at Barrow, hoping that he would give a satisfactory answer, but it was a pity......

"Once the contract is made, you can't go back...... "This contract is a big part of the contract to protect Hogwarts, and the Headmaster will not agree to back down on protecting Hogwarts, so ...... Can't ......"

"But as you said, it's possible to make a new contract with another person. But judging by Barrow's tone, he wasn't quite sure.

"Is this pact a whole or separate?" Solim asked another question.

Magical contracts, in the eyes of many wizards, are a very high-end thing. Because most wizards know that the magic contract is the famous "unbreakable curse", once the two parties establish an unbreakable contract, it must not be broken, otherwise the party who breaks the contract will end in death as a punishment for breach of contract.

But there is more to a magical contract than this, there are other ways to make a contract. For Hogwarts, it creates a large number of magical contracts every year, but many people ignore them.

New students will receive a letter from Hogwarts before they enter the school, and when Hogwarts receives a reply from a new student, a contract will be established, and this contract will take effect when the new student enters Hogwarts. Within Hogwarts, magical creatures that have made a contract with Hogwarts will not harm these students. There are also the professors at Hogwarts, who have also made such a magical contract with Hogwarts.

Magical contracts are not all as extreme as unbreakable spells, Hogwarts contracts are very mild, and when a professor leaves or a student graduates or is expelled, the contract is released without endangering life.

The question Solim asks is the one that complex magical contracts will involve. According to Barrow, the contract established by this so-called heir includes the control of the basilisk, or whether a separate contract must be created in order to control the basilisk.

Solim's question is actually asking whether you have to be an heir to control the basilisk, or whether you don't have to be an heir, just make a contract with the basilisk.

The question stumped Barrow, and he didn't really know it. Mainly when Riddle made more than one contract in the first place, with Hogwarts, with Slytherin House, and with Slytherin himself.

"Then tell me, what does it take to establish a contract with the Basques? We can try to see if the contract that controls the Basque Country is a separate one, or if the contract with the heirs is a whole. "

"To make a pact with the Basques, you have to have a parseltongue, you have to be a Slytherin student, and you have to meet one of the Basque requirements, and then the pact can be established - under the Basque leadership. Barrow said.

When Barrow returned to Hogwarts after his death, Salazar Slytherin had not left Hogwarts at that time, and naturally ghosts could exist longer than living people, and Barrow naturally became the role of this guide under Salazar's will, and he knew a lot of secrets about Hogwarts.

"That's easy, the first two are in line, and Basque's wishes are not a problem, he definitely doesn't want to be controlled by Riddle again, and then hurt the students in the school against Slytherin himself. Then there is the last one: the Basque demands. Solim looked at his sister, "Sylna, you ask him what he wants, preferably simpler, like food, a warmer nest, or going out in the sun or something." "

"Just bask in the sun. Barrow said, "The Basque Country is not allowed to leave the castle on his own under the constraints of the contract. "

Sylna and Basque hissed back and forth, and after a long while, they turned around and said to Solim: "He said he smelled the food, the smell of his favorite food, he hadn't eaten it for a long time, and he wanted us to help him get some." "

"Basilisk's favorite food?" Solim thought for a moment, "Ask him if he's the Eight-Eyed Spider." "

"There is no such thing as 'eight-eyed spider' in snake language. "He just said 'favorite food.'"

"Then ask him if he's eight-legged. Solim resisted the urge to complain.

"What did Riddle bring?" asked Solim curiously.

"That damn liar didn't bring anything. Barrow said angrily: "He deceived me, and he deceived Basque, he said that he would take Basque to fulfill the wishes of the dean, and then he would give Basque a better environment than here, so that he could bask in the sun or something......"

Listening to Barrow's words, Solim looked at the basilisk speechlessly, he was still hissing with Sylna over there. It's a simple death, but it's no wonder Barrow and the basilisk. Haven't Riddle fooled anyone? Even Dumbledore was fooled by him at that time.

"Finally figured it out," Sylna hissed for a long time, her mouth was dry, "it should be the eight-eyed spider, he asked us to get him a few, and then he will make a contract with me." "

"How many?"

"Yes, just a few. "

"No, I mean, how many does he want?"

"Just get a few of them. Sylna looked at her brother strangely, it wasn't a big deal.

"How can this kind of thing be casual!" Solim scolded, "it's a contract, what if we bring less and he's not satisfied? "

Solim stroked his head speechlessly, in Solim's opinion, magical contracts are no different from contracts, they are both agreements used to establish the rights, obligations and responsibilities of both parties, but Muggles use paper documents and laws to bind, while wizards use magic, which is essentially no different. So...... Magic contracts will also have loopholes that can be exploited.

"Alright, it's finally good. Sylna licked her lips, "Seven, he said it was his master's, Slytherin's favorite number. "

"Well, we'd better act now, it's time to race against the clock. Solim looked at the basilisk with his eyes still closed, "Sylna, you tell him well, except for you, me, and Barrow, anyone else who comes here doesn't have to close their eyes, I think except for us, Dumbledore or Riddle will come here, and Dumbledore won't be in the basilisk's sight, Riddle, hmph, you tell Basque that if he doesn't want to be controlled to hurt the students again, he can either hide or just subdue the person who came." "

"Uniform?" Silna looked back at the Basque, "how can he 'subdue' at his size, it's almost the same as killing." "

In Syrna's opinion, with the size of the Basque Country, pressure can also crush people to death, as long as the tail is gently pumped, as long as it is drawn, it is basically an amputation below the eyebrows, and a better one has to be a high paraplegia.

"Well......" Solim looked thoughtfully at the water on the ground, "That's fine." "

Solim drew his wand.

The stagnant water on the ground pooled up and turned into two round sheets of ice under Solim's control.

"Although the prescription is definitely wrong, the basilisk is not only observed by the eyes, but also does not wear it for long, so there should be no problem. "

With that, Solim tore off part of his robe, lengthened it, and tied up the two "lenses" that had been conjured up by Transfiguration to block Basque's view.

"So you won't die...... Kindness...... Should ......"

Although as long as he didn't look directly into the basilisk's gaze, Solim himself couldn't be sure, and the gaze through the lens was not considered a direct gaze.

"Alright, you tell the Basque to be careful. Let's set out for the Forbidden Forest. After Solim finished speaking to Barrow, he dragged Sylna out of the chamber.
