Chapter 152
The two of them were in a mess.
Lockhart fell to the ground and retched.
He almost vomited his gallbladder.
He staggered to his feet after hearing what Argus said.
"Mr. Grindelwald, I was wrong!"
"Let me go once, I promise I will never do this again!"
"My books only cooperate with Saints Bookstore, no other partners!"
Seeing that Argus was unmoved, Lockhart gritted his teeth.
"I still have a lot of gold galleons in Gringotts. As long as you can spare my life, all these gold galleons are yours!"
"Is this your last words?"
Argus pointed his wand forward, and a dazzling light shone on the top of the wand.
Lockhart was completely scared this time.
Last time in the office, he sensed Argus's murderous intention!
It was just because of the location that he didn't do it to him!
This time is different!
In the underground cave, no one saw him. Even if he really died here, he didn't need to worry!
"Don't kill me! I made an unbreakable vow that I would never tell anyone about what happened today!"
"You can't kill me! I am a recipient of the Order of Merlin, third class, and an honorary member of the Anti-Dark Arts League!"
"If something happens to me, the Ministry of Magic will not let you go!"
"Who wants to kill you?" Argus smiled.
The wand lightly touched, and a thrust came from Lockhart's chest.
He couldn't help but take a few steps back.
"It was the basilisk that ate you, why blame me?"
"Professor Gilderoy Lockhart!"
Before Lockhart could react, an unspeakable stench surged from the top of his head.
Then, there was the severe pain of his body being pierced and torn!
The basilisk was not killed by the stone just now, but was knocked unconscious.
After a period of recovery, it has woken up!
The severe pain in the body and the darkness in front of it have made it lose its mind.
It madly bites all the living things around it!
"Save...save me..." Lockhart was covered in blood and trembling as he reached out to Argus.
But Argus had no intention of helping and watched him being swallowed by the basilisk quietly.
"Sure enough, the villain dies because of talking too much."
"If you hadn't talked to Harry for so long, I might have had to kill you myself."
"If someone finds any clues, it will inevitably cause trouble."
"Now..."
Argus cast his eyes on the flames on the ground.
There was something creeping in the flames.
"It's time to put on a show in front of Fox!"
"Disarm you!" Argus hit the basilisk with a disarming spell.
The basilisk felt pain and struggled to crawl towards Argus.
Unfortunately, the tail was blocked by the stone pillar, and it couldn't move even a little after twisting for a long time.
"It's worthy of being a 5X-level magical animal cultivated by the despicable Helpo, with an absurdly high magic resistance."
"It took a disarming spell to break the defense!"
Looking at the scales of the basilisk torn by the disarming spell, Argus couldn't help but sigh.
But it's better this way, it will be more realistic for me to act, and I won't be directly exposed.
With a bird's cry, Fox was reborn from the ashes!
As soon as he flew into the air, he saw Argus fighting with the basilisk!
Looking closely, Harry and Ron fell not far away, and there was a risk of being accidentally injured at any time!
"Fox, take Harry and Ron to find Principal Dumbledore first!"
"Go!"
The wizard robe on Argus was tattered, as if he had been fighting for a long time.
After all, Fox is just a bird, and can't think as much as humans.
Seeing Harry and Ron injured, he remembered the task Dumbledore had given him.
He immediately grabbed Harry and Ron and disappeared into the cave.
"Finally gone!"
When Argus saw Fawkes disappear, he stopped hiding his strength.
High magic resistance, then use physical attacks!
Anyway, your tail is fixed, you can only lie there and get beaten.
One by one, he cast a spell to summon stone pillars, stabbing straight into the body of the basilisk.
And he specifically stabbed at the injured place!
In just a few minutes, the basilisk was stabbed and bleeding.
He spit out blood and had no strength to struggle.
...
On the other side, in the principal's office.
Dumbledore was sitting at his desk enjoying a midnight snack.
He looked calm on the surface, but the tightly clenched corners of his clothes revealed his inner tension.
Bang! Bang!
A flame flashed in the air.
Fawkes appeared, carrying Harry and Ron.
Seeing Dumbledore, he threw them to the ground.
"Harry!"
See
Seeing Harry's half-dead appearance, Dumbledore no longer cared about the midnight snack in front of him.
He quickly stepped forward to check Harry.
After confirming that Harry was not in danger of life, he instantly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Fortunately, it's just some superficial injuries."
"After the basilisk is solved this time, Harry's reputation in Gryffindor should be able to improve a little."
"People who once misunderstood him should also..."
Before he finished speaking, Dumbledore's smile froze.
His expression, which was just smiling, instantly turned into a raging rage.
"Forgetfulness! Someone cast a forgetfulness spell on Harry!"
He seemed to have thought of something and went to check on Ron again.
The result he waited for was the same as Harry's.
Both of them suffered from severe forgetfulness!
As the current number one wizard in the magic world, Dumbledore knew it very well.
Although forgetfulness can be restored, it does not mean that it has no side effects!
Become an idiot!
To be precise, forget everything, including the basic skills as a human being!
Moreover, he will be extremely forgetful in the future!
A forgetful savior who has become an idiot is unacceptable to anyone!
"Fawkes, what happened!"
Fawkes sensed Dumbledore's anger, cried out twice in grievance, and flew to his shoulder.
He made an incomprehensible cry.
"What? You said Argus is still fighting the basilisk in the Chamber of Secrets!"
"He is still injured!"
Dumbledore found that things were completely out of control.
In his prediction, Harry and Ron could not deal with the basilisk, and the main force to deal with the basilisk was still on Argus.
In order to ensure that Harry and Ron would not get into trouble, he also sent Fawkes to blind the basilisk's eyes in advance.
Without eyes, the basilisk lost its most threatening weapon.
It was easy for Argus and Fawkes to deal with it together.
But what he didn't expect was that Fawkes was hit by a stone pillar falling from the sky just after he blinded the basilisk's eyes.
Forced to choose to be reborn from the ashes.
When Fox recovered, things had changed dramatically!
"Fox, take the three of us to St. Mungo's Hospital, and then go call Minerva and ask him to go to the Chamber of Secrets to save Argus."
Dumbledore thought about it, and finally chose Harry between Argus and Harry.
Even though Argus might be in danger of his life!
He chose to send Harry, who had lost his memory, to St. Mungo's Hospital for treatment first.
Fox grabbed Dumbledore and signaled Dumbledore to hold the other two tightly.
A flame ignited in the office.
The entire principal's office returned to silence again...
