Chapter 241 New Discovery

There is a saying that hard work pays off, and there is another saying that God helps those who help themselves. When Ada cleared away the gauze in front of her eyes, the truth gradually emerged.

Ada has been swimming in the ocean of monsters for a long time. Just when she was about to be drowned by words, she finally determined what the monster in the secret room was - there was a basilisk hidden in the secret room.

There are many terrifying beasts and monsters roaming the magical world, and the most bizarre and lethal among them is the Basilisk, also known as the Snake King.

This snake, which can grow to very large sizes and often lives for hundreds of years, is hatched from an egg by a toad (so who is the father and who is the mother?).

The basilisk kills in astonishing ways. In addition to its deadly fangs, its glare can also kill.

Anyone caught in its gaze will die immediately. Spiders will run away when they see a basilisk, because the basilisk is the mortal enemy of spiders, and the basilisk will run for its life as soon as it hears the crowing of a rooster, because the crowing of a rooster is also fatal to it.

This is the introduction that Ada found in an inconspicuous old book in the library. This artificially bred magical creature conforms to all the currently known clues.

Aragog's descendants, as well as Lee Jordan's bag spider, all tried their best to escape from the castle because of the basilisk. These spiders may not have seen the basilisk, but their sense of danger is far better than humans. Once the basilisk moves, the spiders will quickly sense it.

In order not to become a snack for the basilisk, these spiders had to escape from the castle and hide where the basilisk could not find them.

All things are interdependent, and wherever poisonous snakes appear, there must be an antidote within seven steps. This does not mean that there must be an antidote within seven steps, but that there must be something to restrain the snake's venom within the range of the poisonous snake's activities.

Of course, this sentence is no longer useful in today's society, because of human damage to the ecology and the biological invasion of alien species, the ecological balance has long been lost.

The basilisk is not invincible. The rooster it fears is its natural enemy. That's why the roosters raised in the school died one after another. I had always thought that the animals in the Forbidden Forest killed the school rooster, but now I think it was probably the heir of Slytherin who did it.

In order to protect the basilisk's activities and prevent it from being harmed by the crow of the rooster, the heir of Slytherin killed the rooster that threatened the basilisk.

Basilisk, as its name suggests, belongs to the category of snakes, which is why only Harry can hear those sounds.

Because to other people's ears, the Basilisk's sound was just a hissing breath, and they couldn't tell what the sound was, let alone hear murderous intent like Harry.

Newt Scamander, who was far away in Dorsetshire, also wrote back to Ada. He introduced some of the basilisk's habits to Ada in detail.

According to him, the natural lifespan of a magical creature like a basilisk is more than 900 years old and can grow to 50 feet long (more than 15 meters). Once raised, a "pet" can be sent away for several generations.

However, the basilisk only obeys the orders of the Parselmouth. Others cannot tame and tame the basilisk, and hatching the basilisk is also expressly prohibited. Parseltongue can put a basilisk into a deep sleep, thereby preventing it from continuing to grow and entering a state similar to suspended animation.

As she continued to read the letter, Ada's heart became colder and colder, because the basilisk seemed to have only one weakness: the rooster. The surface of the basilisk's skin is covered with scales that deflect spells and cannot be harmed by magic.

Its big yellow Kazlan eyes can kill anyone in an instant. As long as you have direct contact with its gaze, you can say goodbye to this rotten world. Indirect eye contact with the basilisk, such as when reflected, will only result in petrification.

For example, Colin Creevey and Justin Finch-Fletchley had indirect eye contact with the basilisk, so they did not lose their lives, but were petrified. When the mandrake matures, they can recover.

Ada put down Mr. Scamander's reply and took off her gold-rimmed glasses. She thought that these glasses would be her life-saving clothing and the system's kindness to her, but this letter broke this fantasy.

Glasses are not water, nor are they cameras. Seeing the basilisk through them should be no different from looking directly at the basilisk. If there is no difference, it means that you may die. Ada gently pinched her Jingming point, and she felt that her head was buzzing and chaotic.

How to play this? The basilisk is obviously a gold-earning player! It has high attack power and is immune to magic, so it can't even be beaten by hanging on a wall! Could we just close our eyes, carry the rooster and fight the basilisk?

At the end of the letter, Newt Scamander added another sentence, saying: There has been no trace of the basilisk in the British Isles for at least four hundred years.

After reading these harmless words, Ada became so angry that she wanted to immediately apparate to Dorsetshire, grab Mr. Scamander by the collar, and drag him to Hogwart. Come here, and then ask him: What is this damn thing if it’s not a basilisk? We haven't seen each other for four hundred years as promised? How come we are caught up with this group of people? Do you deserve to be unlucky?

The weak and helpless Ada sighed and put on her gold-rimmed glasses again. Regardless of whether these glasses could save her life, the system's mission must always be completed.

Now that she has figured out the monster in the secret room, as long as she finds the entrance to the secret room, she will have completed the task issued by the system.

As for the dangerous matter of dealing with the basilisk, let's leave it to Dumbledore. She has thin arms and legs, so don't make do with it. She is not Lockhart and has no plans to publish a book.

After leaving the library, Ada met the twins who came to find her. Through the unremitting efforts of the two brothers, the two of them finally found a new activity venue in Mingxiao.

Fred, who was walking in front, said: "This is really an unexpected surprise. We didn't expect that there is such a magical place hidden in the school! It has everything you want!"

George continued: "We were wondering a few days ago why there was a broom room on the eighth floor of the castle. It turned out that it appeared because we needed it."

Fred and George have always been keen to explore the secrets of the castle, and the two brothers are very excited about this secret place they have just discovered. What's more, this new place doesn't appear on the Marauder's Map, which is where they surpass their four Predator predecessors.

Ada followed the twins all the way to the eighth floor, and stopped in front of a tapestry of a troll beating Barnabas silly. The twins started talking again.

"We've been here before," said Fred first, "to escape Filch and Lady Norris."

"We were already desperate, so we were walking around here trying to figure out a way." George continued, "Then we found a broom room that we had never seen before."

The twins said together: "We hid in it and escaped Filch's pursuit. But after that, we never found it again."

There are so many secrets hidden in Hogwarts Castle, so it is no surprise that there is a room like this. It sounds like this is a room that only appears when you need it, and like Dumbledore said, at Hogwarts, those who ask for help always receive it.

After a while, Li Jordan led the remaining friends over. The four girls stared blankly at the moth-eaten tapestry, somewhat confused.

"Fred, if you don't mind." George stretched out his hand and made a "please" gesture, and then saw Fred walking back and forth in front of the tapestry.

After Fred walked back and forth three times, a smooth wooden door suddenly appeared on the originally blank wall. This surprising scene made Angelina, Aaliyah, Katie and Lini all open their mouths so much that they could fit in apples, let alone eggs.

Holding the wand in her right hand and the copper handle in her left hand, Ada opened the door and took the lead in walking in.

There is no danger behind the door, just a spacious ordinary room with torches lit inside, like in an underground classroom.

There is a row of wooden bookshelves next to the wall. There are no chairs on the floor, but there are large satin cushions. On the shelf at the other end of the room were various instruments such as looking glasses and spy devices, as well as a large demon mirror with a crack.

"Beautiful ladies, welcome to the Room of Requirement!" the twins and Lee Jordan said at the same time.

The weather is a bit cold and I have a cold. . .
