Chapter 1124 Basilisk Nagini

Come on, take a sip... Just a small sip! I promise, this stuff is sweet... Hey! Don't run over there, come back to me!

The potent veritaserum was successfully produced, but how to feed it to a basilisk transformed from a human was not an easy task.

After all, there are still a group of underage friends watching in this room right now, Maca obviously doesn't want to make the scene of feeding medicine too rough.

So, it naturally became him chasing a small snake all over the room.

Tsk, why are you so disobedient?

Suddenly, Maca murmured to himself, then pointed in the direction of the window and shouted loudly:

who!

This roar startled everyone, and everyone turned their heads to look out of the window, even the little basilisk, which was swimming fast on the ground, paused subconsciously.

And at this moment, Maca reached out and grabbed the basilisk by the neck, opened its mouth and poured down the veritaserum.

Immediately afterwards, as if he had never done anything, he put the basilisk back on the ground casually.

Ahem... did I read it wrong?

Maca turned her head and found that Ron and the others were still staring in the direction of the window, but Luna blinked her big, clear and innocent eyes and stared at him curiously.

Oh, never mind!

He smiled awkwardly, and then waved at Luna:

Come here! It's time for you to perform!

Although Veritaserum can make the person who takes it tell the truth, it does not have its own translation function, so obviously, Maca still needs Luna's help to indirectly communicate with the Basilisk.

In this regard, Luna seems to be quite excited, because for her, being able to communicate with a human who has turned into a snake is a very interesting thing.

Hi! Miss Basilisk, I'm here to chat with you again!

Listening to Luna briskly greeting the basilisk, and recalling that she chased the basilisk all over the room just now, Maca always felt that this interrogation seemed to have gone in a strange direction from the very beginning.

Luna,

If you want to chat with her, you can talk later. Now you can ask her for me first—who is the 'old friend' she originally wanted Hai Erbo to find?

Maca is a veritaserum specially made for the basilisk with high magic resistance, and it is gradually affecting the other party as the effect of the medicine spreads. It can be seen that the little basilisk has already exhibited some symptoms of dizziness, and staggered in place with its head tilted.

After hearing Maka's instructions, Luna immediately focused on sending her thoughts to the basilisk like last time.

Hiss—

While the snake letter was hesitating, Maca could sense that the other party seemed to be trying to resist the effect of Veritaserum.

It's a pity that once the enhanced efficacy of the medicine breaks through the resistance of the anti-magic physique, it is obviously powerless to rely on personal will alone. Probably even Maca, after taking the veritaserum by mistake, it is impossible to resist to the end, and everything that should be said and should not be said will be blurted out.

Of course, he himself has the antidote.

After a moment of silence, everyone heard the short hiss of the basilisk. Immediately afterwards, Maca saw Luna suddenly raised her head, and there seemed to be a little surprise in her eyes.

So, what did the basilisk say to surprise a girl like Luna who doesn't care much about many things?

Luna? Maca hurriedly called her softly.

Oh!

Luna pursed her lips and said in a daze under the gaze of so many pairs of eyes in the room:

She said she was looking for 'Tom' . . . 'Tom Riddle'.

soup--

When Maca heard the words, he immediately lowered his head to look at the basilisk, and a series of speculations flashed through his mind like lightning. However, after a series of negatives, there was one answer that was most likely, yet also least likely, to remain.

Nagini?

hiss--

When Maca said the name to himself, the basilisk seemed to understand his words, and turned its head slightly——her eyes were still blinded by Maca's magic, but it was It does not prevent her from judging everyone present with the forked snake letter.

Seeing the other party's reaction to the name he said, Maca shook his head rather doubtfully.

This...impossible?

Regarding Maca's hesitation, Ron and his friends couldn't quite understand it.

They knew Tom Riddle, wasn't that Voldemort's real name? So, this witch who turned into a basilisk because of the blood curse is still related to Voldemort?

Well, although this seems unbelievable to Ron and others, it is not unacceptable.

However, Maca seemed very puzzled by this answer, and even vaguely felt like trying to deny it.

But in fact, due to the appearance of Maca, the story between Voldemort and Harry has already been turned upside down. And because of this, not only did many people survive, but many people even failed to appear in front of everyone.

For example, Nagini, as Voldemort's only living Horcrux besides Harry, few people even know its existence.

However, Maca remembered it from the beginning.

But now, why did Voldemort's serpent Nagini become the host of the blood curse? Hai Erbo has any new ideas? Or... is this just a coincidence?

But more importantly... If this basilisk was the original Nagini, where did Voldemort's soul fragments left in its body go? Why hadn't he noticed it for so long?

The piles of questions make it difficult for Maca to draw conclusions easily, let alone figure out Haierbo's conspiracy from them.

After a moment of contemplation, Maca shook his head again, and then said:

Luna, ask her again, what is her deal with Hai Erbo?

In fact, he had already asked this question last time. It's just that the other party seems to always say half and leave half, so that it is impossible to be sure that what the other party said last time must be the truth.

But after a while, Luna's response was no different from last time - she worked for Haierbo, and Haierbo tried to restore her to her human body, it was as simple as that.

Haierbo was obviously very cautious, and didn't reveal anything to her that shouldn't be said.

Nagini... Curse of Blood... Horcruxes... Basilisk... Voldemort?

The words are constantly circling in Maka's mind, and there is a certain connection between them, but Maka has not been able to find a clue that can be connected with Haierbo.

No, if there are clues related to Hai Erbo, there are still some. Whether it is a basilisk or a Horcrux, even many black magics that Voldemort is good at, can be matched with Hai Erbo.

However, these messy clues are too superficial, making it hard for Maca to imagine that Hai Erbo would have a strong interest in Nagini.

Judging from the fight between Maca and Haierbo at that time, that guy obviously cared about the basilisk, and was even unwilling to leave it to Maca.

That's right, if the wizard in the windbreaker hadn't participated in it at that time, Haierbo might not be willing to let go just like that!

In the end, Maca complained rather helplessly:

It turns out that the big snake Nagini who has been following Voldemort is actually a woman?

To be honest, compared to Haierbo's thoughts, whether Nagini is a human or a snake is not important to Maca.

But since he couldn't figure out Haierbo's intentions at all for a while, Maca had no choice but to pick one thing he already understood, and take it out to soothe his chaotic mood.

On the other side, Ron was obviously the first to recover from the surprise. As for the name Nagini, he was a little unclear, so he seemed to be more interested in Maca's words.

Maybe she's still a beautiful woman!

Before the words were finished, poor Ron was glared at by Ginny—Hermione was not there, and the task of despising Ron immediately fell on her.

Don't get angry with weird creatures, Ginny pinched his leg and said, I won't mention that boy before, are you going to find me a basilisk as my sister-in-law this time?

Maca...

Seeing Ron pleading for help with a bitter face, Maca immediately shrugged:

Aren't you afraid of spiders? I can understand how you feel... After all, at least basilisks don't have that many feet!

When Neville and Hannah were amused by his words, Maca himself looked down at the basilisk in front of him again, and there were still many doubts in his eyes.

It's a pity that even if the effect of Veritaserum is still there, what the basilisk knows is not enough to give him more answers.

'Don't waste the spoils you took from me'...'Waste'?

While thinking about the many questions in his heart, he recalled the last words Hai Erbo said before leaving the London sewer.

So, when the basilisk is in Haierbo's hands, what kind of value can she bring to the other party? Just tossing around and mutilating creatures?

I'm afraid that's not the case.

After a while, Maca bent down a little, picked up the basilisk and put it on the forearm in his sleeve again, then waved his hand and said:

Okay, this matter is over, we should prepare to go to the auditorium for dinner!

When Luna heard it, she was dissatisfied and said:

Hey! Maca, but I want to talk to her more!

In this regard, Maca could only smile and nodded at her, and while urging her to move forward, promised:

Don't worry, I think she and I both welcome you to chat. If you want, you can come and accompany her every lunch break.

That's a good deal!

Luna clapped her hands happily, and then greeted the other friends and walked out the door together. Maca followed behind the crowd, and had no choice but to raise his eyebrows helplessly.

Well, there's the matter of Pansy not to be forgotten... just remember to write back to Kingsley after dinner.
