Chapter 259 Uncle's Gift and the Ability of the Basilisk
·
Nan Shan Dou Xi
John actually didn't understand why the uncles would push Dad to this position.
Dad is good at making money, and it's fine if you let him manage money, but managing an underground force is too much of a stretch.
In the morning, John took the newspaper.
Seeing that the picture above does not move, he is still not used to it.
There are only newspapers at Hogwarts, and he has developed the habit of reading newspapers over time, and he likes watching them more than TV.
"The situation on Mao Xiong's side has picked up a bit."
Staring at the above reports about another country, they are basically news about people's livelihood.
Now Mao Xiong is at the time of his whereabouts. After the separation, life has become more difficult.
Oligopoly is the source of hindering the country's economic development.
"After the uncles came home, they seemed to be busy."
At Christmas, the uncles leave here.
It was their grandfather who told them to go back, and when they left, they looked stern.
Watson struggled with his tie with a bitter face. He liked red ties, but his current status was not suitable for this bright color.
Reluctantly picking out a tie to put on, he thought of something, slapped his forehead and said, "John, Alexey left you a gift, and I put it in the basement for you."
"In the basement?"
John was taken aback for a moment. Everyone in the family knew that the basement was his laboratory, and they usually wouldn't go in.
"That thing seems quite dangerous, but I swear, I didn't touch any of the things you put there!" Watson said sternly.
"No touch?" John silently turned his head to look at the tabby cat lying on the cabinet.
Watson coughed twice, "That's an exception."
Shrugging, John trusted his father for now.
When he was about to go out, Watson stopped. He turned his head with a rare seriousness and said, "John, are you okay?"
John was taken aback, and Watson continued: "If there is any trouble, I hope you tell me that although I am not a wizard, I am your father."
Watson, who had always been out of tune, suddenly became serious, which made John a little unaccustomed.
"I'm fine," he said awkwardly.
Watson walked up to John, hesitated for a moment, and reached out to touch John's hair.
"You've grown up, but I don't want you to hold everything in your heart."
He could see that John was not as fine as he said.
But like he said, John has grown up and has his own secrets.
"It's not without troubles in school, is it? You can confide in me, whether it's big or trivial." He rubbed John's head with a smile, turned and left.
Opening the door and going out, he waved goodbye to John.
John was silent for a moment, then ran his hand through his hair.
The warmth on Watson's hands seemed to still be there.
"Family?" The corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
Mrs. Wick let out a cry of surprise while looking at the recipe.
John saw that the pot at home was not that kind of frying pan, but a big iron pot that the Chinese people were very kind to.
Flames sprang up in the pot, and Mrs. Wick, unflappable, picked up the spatula and fried it, using the random cloak frying method in the recipe.
After a year of practice, Mrs. Wick has mastered this skill.
Soon, a plate of delicious food from the canteen, which belonged exclusively to the Celestial Dynasty, was brought out.
John looked at the plate and fell silent.
"...mooncake fried chili."
The corner of his mouth twitched slightly, he didn't expect that the shadow of his previous life would suddenly attack him.
Looking at Mrs. Wick's expectant eyes, John picked up a piece with a heavy heart.
Too much.
Moon cakes are still made of five kernels.
In the end, John ate the delicacy that Mrs. Wick had worked so hard for.
He went to the basement, opened the door of the basement, and saw his uncle's gift.
It turns out that the gift that my uncle didn't bring for Christmas is here.
It was a box, and John suspected it was something indescribable again.
His box is very big, similar to the kind of box that contains certain things that can make a rattling sound.
Without using a crowbar or anything like that, John brushed his fingers over the nail, and the nail was pulled out with a force.
Open the box, there is no such thing as imagined.
Most of the boxes are filled with fillers, and there is only one item.
A sealed reagent bottle.
"what is this?"
Lost in thought, John carefully took out the bottle, and he looked at the contents inside.
It is a mouthful, and there is some black liquid flowing inside, which seems to be some kind of medicine.
See potions in the muggle world?
John found a piece of paper under the bottle and opened it to look.
"If you choose to accept yourself, drink it."
It was left by Alexei. John had a different impression of this uncle than the others.
"Accept yourself?" John was lost in thought, what the hell is this?
The Jovonovich family seemed to have some kind of secret, which John had known for a long time.
Even on the bear side, not everyone would wrestle with the brown bear.
And Jovonovich, even the petite Aunt Rulus can drive away a crazy female bear with her bare hands.
My grandfather is not as old as ordinary old people. He feels like Dumbledore, although he is old but full of strength.
The difference is that Dumbledore's power is magical power, while his grandfather has real physical power.
"Maybe that's why the local government went to my grandfather for help."
Mao Xiong's people's livelihood is not optimistic. Uncle Xie Liaosha said last time that a deputy mayor came and my grandfather liked it very much.
They had a lot of prestige in the local area. According to Uncle Serezha, it seemed that his grandfather wanted to help the deputy mayor.
When it comes to the political level, if you don't pay attention, you will end up with no bones left.
The transition of power is accompanied by bloodshed, whether by wizards or Muggles.
That thing is like poison, as long as it touches it, it will be eroded.
John put away the medicine temporarily, he needs to study it, and there are more important things today.
Taking out the blood of magic power, at the end of the fourth school year, he also received a reward.
There are several vials of candidate blood on the table.
Basilisk, there is a high probability that there will be a petrification spell or have a petrification effect.
Unicorns have sacred blood. John was a little worried before. After all, unicorns are holy existences, and he has learned a lot of black magic.
Birds and snakes, the probability of space and deformation is not low.
Zouwu should be like a space tunnel ability.
There were four vials of blood, and John began to think.
He has no shortage of attack power now, whether it is the Shattering Curse or Fiendfyre, they all have very strong destructive abilities, and the existence of the Gublai Immortal Fire has greatly increased his destructive power.
But if you can get the deadly eyes of the basilisk, the effect will definitely be very powerful if you don't expect it.
This ability is a little troublesome, it needs to see the eyes.
If you are prepared, then this surprise will be greatly reduced.
The bird snake's space and deformation ability are also very good. As a magical animal that can change its size with space, it is similar to the traceless stretching spell in magic.
There is something divine about the unicorn, and John feels it's either a psychic aspect or an enhancement to the Patronus Charm.
Zouwu is very capable, and John's biggest hesitation is between Zouwu and the basilisk.
Both abilities can perform an unexpected effect. Zouwu's space level has priority over the magic in Hogwarts. If Zouwu has the ability, he can enter and exit Hogwarts at any time.
"It's still a basilisk."
After hesitating for a while, John gritted his teeth and chose the Basilisk.
Zouwu's ability is more reflected in the aspect of movement, and the petrification ability of the basilisk can greatly enhance John's personal strength.
When he had chosen, he poured the basilisk blood into the magic blood.
This time, the magic blood has changed again, and the blood of the basilisk is highly poisonous.
As the blood entered, after the two merged, a snake shadow appeared in the magical blood, and its color changed from red to white, and then turned emerald green.
Judging from the color, it reminded John of the potion in the cave.
He felt his stomach churning, and finally endured the nausea and opened the magic blood.
As soon as he closed his eyes, he directly drank the magic blood.
The power in his body ran wild again, but compared to the last time, he controlled it better this time.
Having experienced four times of magic runaway, John began to vent his magic power.
Under his control, the magic is constantly changing, and he draws the sword of Silver Wick.
As soon as the Silver Wick sword came out, the ignorant consciousness inside couldn't help making a sword cry.
John took the opportunity to hold the sword with both hands, and transmitted the huge magic power into the inside of the sword through the philosophy stone.
Under the infusion of magic power, the sword of Silver Wick burst into light.
Like a sun, held in John's hand.
The sword body under the light has also undergone some changes. The sword body, which was originally smooth like a mirror, appeared a series of esoteric runes.
The magic runaway was over, and the rune was carved into the sword by him.
The Sword of Silver Wick has a mysterious and ancient feeling.
"ended."
John held the sword in one hand, and there was some unnecessary weight on the sword.
This is the weight brought by the advanced stage.
Not only will it not feel heavy, but it will give people a sense of strength.
If someone else picks up this sword, the weight will become extremely heavy.
Only approved masters can use it.
Smiling with satisfaction, John's weapon was getting closer and closer to the sword of Gryffindor.
Compared with the sword of Gryffindor, the sword of Silver Wick lacks that trace of self-awareness.
Things like the Sorting Hat, the Elder Wand, and the Sword of Gryffindor all have autonomous consciousness.
The Sorting Hat can make up its own songs, the Elder Wand will submit to the opponent who defeats its master, and the sword of Gryffindor only recognizes the real Gryffindor.
[Ding, the magic blood is over]
[Acquire the blessings of Basilisk characteristics: petrification, death pupil, longevity, Parseltongue]
[Petrification: It can cause creatures to fall into petrification, and the resistance to petrification is greatly improved]
[Death pupil: When the creature sees the eyes, it triggers the effects of stiffness and death]
[Longevity: increase vitality and live longer]
【Parseltongue: Learn the language of snakes】
John didn't expect that the basilisk's ability was more reliable than he thought.
Petrification, not the petrification spell, but turning people into stones.
John is very strange, the basilisk has this ability?
Needless to say, Shi Tong, he chose to fuse the basilisk just because of this ability.
Longevity was beyond his expectation.
Lifespan, in the human world, is a hurdle that can never be overcome.
In other words, no matter how powerful a wizard is, they cannot escape the fear of death.
He felt it for a while, in his current state, there is no problem in living a hundred or two hundred years old.
Just considering that the basilisk has lived for nearly a thousand years, this ability does not seem so difficult to accept.
He thought of the phoenix. If he had the blood of the phoenix, would he be able to achieve an effect similar to immortality?
Under the black lake of Hogwarts, there is a giant octopus that has only lived for a thousand years. If you use an octopus...
His heart is ready to move, maybe he can try it next time.
The big octopus was even more powerful, and he didn't look old at all. John even suspected that this octopus might be able to compete with Dumbledore.
There is no need to read Parseltongue, John is very familiar with it.
For him, it doesn't work.
In addition to being able to prove that he is an orthodox Slytherin, the effect is not as good as giving individual blessings.
