Chapter 83: Basilisk (End)

"It seems that only Parseltongue can open the Chamber of Secrets." Grindelwald said so after observing the snake-shaped mark for a long time.

"In fact, there is another way, destroy this bathroom." Shen Fei said, the key to the location of the Chamber of Secrets is secrecy. Without secrecy, there are too many ways to enter.

"There is no need for this now." Grindelwald sent a message and called Snape, Professor McGonagall and others. Grindelwald certainly would not use his original identity in Hogwarts. Once his identity is exposed, it will be a bigger problem than Voldemort's resurrection.

Voldemort's influence is at most in Europe, but Grindelwald is famous in the world. Except for Newt and Dumbledore, he has never been afraid of anyone.

In terms of strength, Newt is definitely not as good as Grindelwald, but who can blame Newt for having so many magical creatures? Grindelwald is now using the identity of an old generation of a pure-blood family famous in the magic world, and he is over a hundred years old.

Due to various means of prolonging life, there are many elderly people under 200 years old in the magic world. The number of people who live to be 200 years old has decreased sharply. The couple is the only one who lives as long as Nicolas Flamel, because the manufacturing method of the Philosopher's Stone is top secret.

Speaking of which, Voldemort is actually very pitiful. He made the Horcrux to make himself live longer, but because of this, he lived longer than other normal magicians, and most of the time he was struggling to survive.

Grindelwald's identity is very important, which means that the pure-blood family has also begun to pay attention to the life of Muggles. And strictly speaking, Grindelwald's identity is not false, even if the Ministry of Magic goes to check, because this identity is taken from his believers.

Compared with Voldemort's use of fear to make people surrender, as soon as he fell, his men immediately betrayed him, but none of Grindelwald's believers betrayed him, which is his charm.

Soon, Professor McGonagall and Snape, as well as Gilderoy, the trusted teacher of Defense Against the Dark Arts, came here with Harry, Hermione, and Ron. Seeing the three, the crying Myrtle immediately floated over.

This bathroom was often visited by Harry and the other two because other people did not dare to come, so Myrtle and the three were very familiar with it.

"Have you found the Chamber of Secrets?" Because the people who were in trouble were basically Gryffindor students, Professor McGonagall was very concerned about the Chamber of Secrets. Among the four major colleges of Hogwarts, Slytherin and Gryffindor were complete enemies in terms of philosophy.

"Found it, but it needs Parseltongue to open it, Harry, come here." Grindelwald waved to Harry Potter who was standing at the back.

Harry came over immediately, but he was not the only one, Hermione and Ron followed.

"Use Parseltongue with this, and think about opening the Chamber of Secrets." After Grindelwald told Harry the snake pattern, he immediately asked him to prepare to open it.

"Should we notify Headmaster Dumbledore first?" McGonagall stopped Harry immediately. Grindelwald was not the only one who could guess the basilisk. Professor McGonagall and others could do the same. That was why she wanted to stop it. After all, the basilisk was very powerful.

Snape and Gilderoy on the side also nodded in agreement. If it were in normal times, Gilderoy might still talk nonsense and then find ways to delay or escape. However, when facing Grindelwald, even if he did not reveal his identity, Gilderoy did not dare to be too presumptuous. Grindelwald's momentum was very strong.

The reason why Gilderoy, who had no real talent and knowledge, could become the professor of the Defense Against the Dark Arts class was not that Dumbledore did not find his problem, but that the curse of the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher at Hogwarts was very famous. He was just a temporary transition. Hogwarts did not attach much importance to the Defense Against the Dark Arts. Strictly speaking, among so many Defense Against the Dark Arts teachers at Hogwarts, only the teachings of Lupin the werewolf and Barty the little who pretended to be Moody were useful. The teachings of others were useless at all.

Little Barty probably didn't know how much trouble his dedicated teaching had caused Voldemort.

"There's no need for that. It's just a basilisk. Leave it to me." Grindelwald ignored McGonagall's words and signaled Harry to start immediately.

Grindelwald's words were true. Although the basilisk was powerful, it had no chance of winning against Grindelwald. It was too easy for his Fiendfyre to kill the basilisk.

The washstand, under Harry's snake language, immediately began to separate in all directions, revealing an underground passage. After seeing this passage, Harry wanted to jump down, but Shen Fei on the side was quick-witted and immediately grabbed the collar of his neck and threw him aside.

"It seems to be more impulsive than before." Looking at Harry lying on the ground, Shen Fei immediately retracted his sight. With him there, Harry was still needed there.

Shen Fei did not understand Harry's actions. He wanted to prove himself, that is, Dumbledore needed Harry to be the savior, otherwise with his character, several lives would not be enough to die.

A creature like the basilisk actually rushed in with Ron without a care. Fortunately, Gilderoy betrayed him at that time, otherwise Ron might have died at the first sight of the basilisk.

If Dumbledore had not prepared a method for Harry, letting the Phoenix blind the eyes of the basilisk at the beginning, and then gave him the Sword of Gryffindor, Harry would never have been able to kill the basilisk.

"What are you doing?" Professor McGonagall was very angry at this time. Usually, Harry and his three friends often got into trouble. This was just a child's mischief, but at most, it was a bit too much.

Facing the angry Professor McGonagall, Harry opened his mouth to say something, but in the end, he didn't say anything. Hermione and Ron on the side immediately rushed over and pulled Harry over.

"I'll go down and take a look first." Shen Fei didn't care what Harry was thinking. After nodding to Grindelwald on the side, he jumped down.

"You stay here, it will be solved soon." Grindelwald said and jumped down.

"You go back to the lounge immediately and stop making trouble." Professor McGonagall looked at Harry who was a little disappointed and said to Hermione.

"It seems that snake language is needed here." Shen Fei and Grindelwald soon came to a door with a snake pattern engraved on it in front of the secret room. This secret room is more like a huge underground space than a secret room. It is more than ten meters high and tens of meters wide. The length is not yet visible. There are a large number of skeletons in the underground space, and a huge snake sheds its skin.

From the shedding of the snake's skin, we can know that this basilisk has lived for a long time. The longer the basilisk lives, the stronger it is. However, neither of them cared. For Grindelwald, no matter how long he lives, he is just a basilisk.

"Should we call him down?" Grindelwald said.

"There is no need for that. Let him be a student quietly." Shen Fei suspected that Dumbledore deliberately leaked Harry Potter's savior prophecy, but now he doesn't need this savior plan.

"Then you come, or I come." Grindelwald didn't care about Harry, so he didn't insist on his opinion.

"Let me do it, and try the power of technology." Shen Fei took out a bag, took out the C4 explosives from it, and then stuck them on the door.

Boom.

With a loud bang, the snake-shaped door was completely blown to pieces. Not only was the door blown to pieces, but even the entire underground space was shaken.

"I put too much, and I thought there would be defensive magic on the door. Look, there is no magic." The smoke produced by the bomb was quickly eliminated by Grindelwald using magic.

"Put this on just in case." When passing through the broken door, Shen Fei took out two pairs of dark glasses and gave one to Grindelwald.

The basilisk is indeed powerful, but it is also weak. The lethal effect of his eyes will be greatly weakened when passing through obstacles, and it can only petrify people at most.

Hermione was lucky not to be petrified this time because of Shen Fei's early intervention.

"Are you going to use weapons to deal with the basilisk?" Grindelwald asked after taking the glasses and putting them on.

"Yes." Shen Fei nodded.

Many magical creatures in the magic world are killed by ordinary people, especially the dragons. Because of their huge bodies, they are easily discovered. When facing human fighters, the dragons still have an advantage in one-on-one, but not in one-on-many. Speaking of the dragons in this world, although they are dragons, they are not as powerful as those in myths and legends.

"Who are you?" Going deeper, they soon came to a place with only one road in the middle, with pools on both sides and a large number of giant snake statues. When they passed the middle road, they soon found a young phantom wearing a Hogwarts student uniform in front.

"Who are you?" Grindelwald didn't care about the soul form of this person. There are many ghosts in the magic world.

"If I'm not mistaken, he should be Voldemort, or more accurately, Tom Marvolo Riddle, just an idiot." Shen Fei said and picked up the diary thrown on the road.

"What did you say, let go, that's mine." After hearing Shen Fei's words, the young Tom was very angry, but after seeing Shen Fei's actions, he immediately shouted loudly.

"A half-blood pretends to be pure blood and says he wants to purge the magic world. It's disgusting." The diary is still blank, which makes Shen Fei a little disappointed, but he didn't burn the diary with fierce fire immediately. If he does it now, Tom's soul will disappear and he won't be able to release the basilisk.

"You're looking for death." Tom's own blood is his reverse scale. After hearing Shen Fei's words, he immediately began to speak snake language and prepared to hand over the snake monster.

"Is it there?" Seeing a huge snake statue in front of him start to shake, Shen Fei immediately took action, took out four anti-tank mines from the bag, and threw them in front of the statue.

As soon as the anti-tank mines were in place, the huge snake monster swam out with its hideous snake tongue, but then there was a series of explosions.

The huge explosion destroyed the huge statues around it at once, and at the same time, the mountain wall began to collapse, and a large amount of rubble fell from it.

"So weak." Shen Fei, who was carrying a rocket launcher that had been loaded with ammunition, looked at the snake monster with its head torn into pieces after the smoke of the explosion dissipated, and couldn't help but widen his eyes.

"It seems there is no chance to fire." Shen Fei said as he took off the warhead of the rocket launcher.

At this time, the snake monster didn't even swim out of the cave.

"What did you do?" The scene in front of him made Tom look in disbelief. He never thought that the basilisk he had high hopes for would be killed by those small iron boxes.

"Nothing was done, Lord Voldemort. Times have changed. Purebloods and half-bloods are outdated. Now it is a world controlled by ordinary people."

"How could that be possible?"

"You have been dead for a long time. You have no idea what has changed in the world. Hogwarts is now the only remaining magic school. Other magic schools have been completely destroyed by the Muggles you mentioned. The Ministry of Magic has also disappeared. Muggles are now hunting for wizards all over the world. This is the last stronghold. I didn't expect that at this time, there are still people entangled in purebloods and half-bloods. Don't worry, there is no need to argue. It won't be long before purebloods and half-bloods will disappear from this world."

"You are lying."

"I am not lying. In order not to scare these remaining wizards, we concealed the news from the outside world, making them think that wizards are still very powerful now, so that they can spend their last childhood. By the way, your other Horcruxes have also been found and destroyed by ordinary people."

"This is impossible." Shen Fei's words made Tom a little crazy.

Grindelwald on the side looked at this scene and shook his head helplessly.

Shen Fei was fooling Tom. As the Dark Lord Grindelwald, he was also very knowledgeable about Horcruxes. Shen Fei learned a lot about Horcruxes from him, which was why Shen Fei dared to play tricks on Voldemort.

The soul in the Horcrux is isolated from the outside world, and the breath of the Horcrux is also isolated. Even if it is the main body, unless it is held in the hand, it will not know the location of the Horcrux.

Only after the main body is completely dead, the Horcrux will be activated and enter the resurrection plan. Tom's appearance here is completely unexpected, because Voldemort outside is not completely dead. Malfoy just wanted to use this diary to create chaos in Hogwarts at first, and didn't know that this was one of Voldemort's Horcruxes. Otherwise, such an important thing would be too late to hide it, so how could he take the initiative to hand it over.

Speaking of which, Voldemort's death was too unexpected, so he didn't hide this diary Horcrux well.

Malfoy just guessed that this diary had the black magic left by Voldemort, but he didn't know what it was.
