Chapter 338 Basilisk

As Harry finished speaking, the snake tails seemed to come alive, twisting one by one. After a while, the tails of the seven snakes retracted to the circular stone door, and the stone door opened.

Harry walked in cautiously.

Inside the stone door is a familiar room. A huge basilisk is standing upright, staring at the movement in the pool.

It would be really exciting if Harry and the others could see the basilisk's expression.

Because the basilisk was staring with its copper-bell-sized eyes, staring at the creatures rolling in the pool, with a look of confusion on its face.

crayfish!

It actually completed the task of conquering a pool!

The basilisk was dumbfounded. Why is this thing so cruel? ! Was my drinking fountain just robbed? !

That's too much! What a bully to the snake!

The basilisk made a shriek of sorrow, and the sound made those who heard it sad and those who heard it shed tears.

A snake is crying, so scary!

Hearing someone coming in, the basilisk thought it was the heir again. It was unhappy and let out an angry "hiss" sound twice. The main idea was that although I promised to take care of the descendants of Slytherin, I would never help you kill someone. At most Scare those little bastards.

This made Harry a little confused.

He naturally understood what the basilisk said, and this surprised him even more, "Don't you want to eat people?"

Hearing Harry's question, the basilisk was stunned for a moment. It felt that the voice was not right. After sensing it, he found that it was not the bad boy who claimed to be his heir and always encouraged it to kill people. So, the basilisk happily talked to him. Harry chatted.

Of course, it did not look back, because of Salazar's methods, its eyes could not be closed, and it rarely looked at people.

There are other parseltongues out there!

God bless Salazar!

I finally don't have to listen to that bastard brat's instructions!

Seeing Harry and the Basilisk chatting animatedly, Hermione and Robert were both a little confused.

Hey, it turns out that basilisk can communicate?

Doesn’t it look very fierce?

Thinking of the basilisk's "嘘嘘嘤嘤" appearance just now, the two of them felt that this guy was a bit cute?

Having said that, they are still prepared. If this guy gets angry, the magic wand in his hand will definitely make him realize that he and others are not easy to mess with!

Compared to the two cautious people, Harry was much calmer.

Through communication, Harry learned the origin and responsibilities of this basilisk, as well as the truth about the incident more than 50 years ago.

The basilisk was Salazar Slytherin's back-up plan at Hogwarts. If Hogwarts Castle is destroyed one day, the Basilisk will burst out of the ground and kill all intruders.

Especially those muggles.

Because Muggles were endlessly hunting down wizards at that time, whether they were reclusive wizards or students at Hogwarts, some of them were murdered, and among them were many of Salazar's friends and students.

All this made the founder very angry. Originally, he could have used other, gentler magical creatures as backup, but in the end, in anger, he chose the basilisk.

In Salazar's opinion, the "instant death" effect of the basilisk can be effective on groups. As long as they see its eyes, Muggles without any magical means will definitely die miserably.

As for Myrtle, it was an accident, but it was a calculated accident.

The basilisk is under the control of the Parselmouth. If the Parseltongue gives an order, the basilisk must follow the order whether it likes it or not.

At that time, the arrogant Tom Riddle had already entered the school. He heard the legend of Salazar's Chamber of Secrets and firmly believed that the monster left by that man was used to kill the Muggle wizards in the school.

As a descendant of Salazar Slytherin, of course he can inherit all his legacy!

Tom, who has an extreme personality, feels that it is time for ordinary wizards to realize that he is different from them!

After some searching, the young descendant of Slytherin found the entrance to Salazar's Chamber of Secrets.

When he saw the basilisk, Tom Riddle's excitement was palpable. The madness factor from his blood instantly swallowed up his sanity. At that time, he already knew that killing people could split his soul and create Horcruxes. .

Eager to try the effect of this black magic, he gave his order without any scruple - let the basilisk help him kill people.

However, this request, which seemed to him to be a simple one, was rejected by the Basilisk without hesitation.

The basilisk still remembers its mission, which is to protect the little wizards in the castle, not to kill them!

Rejected by the basilisk and feeling offended by his authority, Riddle calmed down, but still felt extremely aggrieved.

So, he began to take revenge on the basilisk, and he had an excellent plan.

Myrtle, an ordinary Ravenclaw student, was born a Muggle and had no background in the wizarding world.

This girl doesn't have many friends in school, and her only friend is an outspoken guy who can make her cry Myrtle with a little inducement.

Tom has experimented several times before with good results.

So, without anyone noticing, this premeditated murder began.

The holiday was about to come, and Olive Humbey wanted to give Myrtle a new pair of glasses. After all, hers looked out-of-date, but Myrtle thought that this was a school gift from her parents and she was unwilling to change it. Come down.

The two quarreled, and Olive's head got hot and he yelled, "Throw away your ridiculous spectacle frames, Myrtle! It's the same frame as the one Mrs. Annal gave to her Shar-Pei!" "

Myrtle ran away crying, and Olive walked away angrily.

No one thought that this would be their last quarrel.

Myrtle, who ran away, thought she was just crying in a random stall in the toilet, but in fact, before she entered, Tom turned the other stalls into walls, and Myrtle, who was in mood, did not. Anyone who was hesitant walked into that one and just opened the door and could see the compartment of the pool.

He looked right into the eyes of the basilisk that reluctantly but reluctantly crawled out of the water pipe.

Even in order to delay time, Tom locked the compartment door, causing Myrtle to lose her mind in anger and not notice who was outside the compartment at all.

Myrtle died in a rage, and the intensity of her emotions helped turn her into a ghost, but it also had a profound impact on her.

Even now, Myrtle's anger still cannot be calmed down, and she may do anything irrational.

The fuss at the wedding completely cost her the chance to defend herself.

Harry translated what he heard to Robert and Hermione. He looked at the basilisk hesitantly, then at the two of them, "I think it's actually a good snake?"

"Of course!" Hermione immediately sided with the basilisk this time, "Everything is Tom Riddle's fault!"
