Alchemy Black Technology at Hogwarts

Chapter 108 Harmless Disposal

"I hope the vitality of the basilisk is strong enough. As long as it doesn't die, even if it has one breath left, it won't die in the future."

William thought, he could feel that the basilisk under his feet was still hitting the metal plate from time to time, as if trying to find a way out, but its strength was getting weaker and weaker.

This thing is ridiculously heavy, and it is not something that the basilisk can smash away with its physical body.

The basilisk persisted for almost half an hour before it finally completely stopped, and no more sound came out.

But William still waited for a while, until the architect Mr. Anderson mentioned that it took an hour for the quick-setting cement to completely set, and then he called Lalo.

"Let's open the lid."

William rubbed his hands, and said excitedly, as if what he wanted to pry open was not a concrete pillar with a basilisk in it, but a pot of Buddha Jumping Wall that had been boiled for a long time.

Accompanied by the sound of "creaking, creaking" the alloy cover was pulled open, a very thick, pitted and very ugly concrete pillar was exposed.

The house elves gathered around the pit, lifted it to the ground, and then began to trim the "pillar" with magic until they found a relatively complete part.

When the cement solidifies, it will release a lot of heat. The scales on the surface of the basilisk have festered badly, exposing the severely burned flesh underneath—William leaned in front of the snake and examined it carefully.

"Yes, it's still alive!"

William could feel that the snake's muscles were still trembling slightly.Things got a lot easier after that.

Together with the house-elves, William and the others "squeezed" the basilisk's body out of the cement shell along this section of the snake body, and found its head—because it was protected by the "shame circle" that William put on. , the head of the basilisk, together with the most precious pair of eyes, are all intact.

"Professor, will I leave it to you next?"

Backing away for a short distance, William gave Dumbledore the position in front of the basilisk, and everyone else moved away from the basilisk, whether it was wizards or house-elves.

In the office, William promised Dumbledore to respect his opinion on how to deal with the basilisk.

If the basilisk itself is innocent and is just being used by Voldemort as a killing tool, then he needs to provide the basilisk with a suitable living environment in exchange for obtaining materials from it.

Basilisks are a renewable resource.

The snake's fangs will naturally fall off and regenerate over time. Scales and skin can also be obtained by molt. It is much simpler to draw blood.But unfortunately, in that case, William would not be able to remove the pair of precious snake eyes.

"Why not?"

Dumbledore took a few steps forward, pointing his wand at the hood over the basilisk's head.

"Bang!" sounded.

The stone hood exploded.

The basilisk's huge orange-yellow eyes with deadly magic power were exposed, and it suddenly turned to Dumbledore, but the white wizard just waved his wand, and conjured a shield made of silver light in front of him.

The surface of the light shield vibrated violently, like a pot of boiling oil being poured into water, but it barely supported it after all, and did not break immediately - Dumbledore, who was hiding behind the light shield, had already raised it Wand, "Legilimens! (Legilimens)"

he shouted loudly.

A dazzling silver light shines.

Dumbledore's consciousness was like a blade, stabbing fiercely into the basilisk's mind. Driven by the instinct of the beast, the basilisk's consciousness set off waves in his mind, trying to resist Dumbledore's invasion.

But it was too weak now, and there were severe pains all over its body, and it couldn't make any effective response at all.

"Talk to me Salazar Slytherin, you are the greatest of the Big Four!"

said a boy excitedly.

Dumbledore saw a familiar handsome face, young Tom Riddle looking at him with outstretched arms in a marble-paved square.

"Is it really you, Tom?"

He thought, following the basilisk's memory, he continued to explore down, and soon found another memory.

This is in a girls' bathroom.

"Stop playing, kill this stupid woman quickly."

The young Riddle lazily said that a pale girl knelt down in front of Dumbledore, covering her face with her hands, but he had already seen her brown eyes—she fell down, and even the last trace of her body All vitality has been sucked away.

"You can't eat her, I need to keep her, as a... warning." Tom Riddle waved his hand, stopping Dumbledore from moving forward.

Afterwards, there were a lot of boring memories, the basilisk was alternately awake and lethargic, and the concept of time had been lost in the darkness.Sometimes it gets bored and will hunt for all the flesh and blood it can find.

Not for satiation.

Just for fun.

This chaotic state lasted for a long time, until the secret room was opened again
"Talk to me. Salazar Slytherin, you are the greatest of the Big Four!"

One day, a new, somewhat stuttering voice woke him up from his sleep.

His figure made Dumbledore feel somewhat familiar, it must be some student in the castle, but the boy was wearing a hood, his face could not be seen, and the hissing Parseltongue also affected Dumbledore judgment.

Dumbledore continued to read.

"It's because you wrote to find me and get Malfoy's support?"

Seeing the boy's face, Draco Malfoy raised his head and said arrogantly.

"Kill it."

The master in the hood smiled and called. Dumbledore slowly crawled over. He could already smell the boy's smell, which is what humans would produce when they are nervous.

"It's almost time to see him." He thought excitedly.

But a ghost suddenly passed through the wall and stopped in front of the Malfoy boy.

"Oh no!"

Dumbledore watched helplessly as the ghost, and the boy behind the ghost slowly turned into stone.

"Humph!"

The white wizard scolded angrily.

Across the basilisk's memories, he could already sense that the creature that Salazar Slytherin left behind had eaten the flesh of many humans.

It will feel sorry for not being able to kill the wizard, and it will be happy for hurting humans.Even if it is sleeping in the dark, it will want to tear open the flesh and blood of human beings, and feel the warmth of blood flowing between its teeth.

It already has its own "soul".

But it was an evil, cruel soul.

"Ugh."

Dumbledore finally made up his mind.

In the basilisk's mind, Dumbledore set off a storm turned into a sharp blade, messing up its brain, leaving no memory, let alone "consciousness".

But in the eyes of William and the others who were watching, it was the basilisk's head that rose sharply, opened its giant, and let out a silent howl of pain.It wanted to resist and struggle, but its whole body was wrapped in a thick cement shell, and it couldn't move a bit.

The ground was shaking slightly.

Gradually, the basilisk's head drooped down, and the thin film fell down, covering its terrifying giant orange eyes.

Dumbledore waved his wand, dug out a piece of metal from the ground, twisted it into the shape of a hood, and embedded it tightly on the basilisk's head, leaving only a gap at the mouth.

"I have cleaned all its memory and eliminated its consciousness. It will no longer pose a threat to anyone. When you are ready, you can remove its eyes and use them to make props. "

The white wizard said very tiredly.

Going deep into the consciousness of the basilisk and experiencing its feelings and thoughts is not an easy task even for the mighty Dumbledore.

"I'm a little tired, I'll go back and rest first."

Dumbledore said that after he said goodbye to William and the others, he left the underground factory.

But William's work wasn't done yet.

After the white wizard "harmless" the basilisk, they surrounded the basilisk together and began to knock off all the cement shells around the basilisk.

"Oak cork, you apply burn ointment to its body and collect the scales."

William commanded the house elves, "Lalo, you are responsible for removing its fangs. Be careful, pull them out with magic and put them directly into the containers I prepared."

The basilisk's fangs are deadly venomous.

Even if it simply touches the skin, the toxicity in it is enough to kill—but after alchemy treatment, this toxicity can be transformed into very strong magic power, which is the top configuration in many formulas.

"William, can we take back some of the scales from the basilisk?"

Fred asked excitedly.

"We wanted to do a little experiment, the one you know."

George winked at William.

William participated in many of the topics in their hands, and also gave some suggestions, and shared some alchemy knowledge and craftsmanship with them.

However, instead of letting the Weasley brothers put a lot of energy into developing skipping drugs like in the original plot, William has been guiding them to do something "reliable".

But they're on the verge of breaking through.

"Of course, you can do whatever you want, but don't tell others that we caught a live basilisk just yet, okay? Just wait a few more days, and it won't be a secret."

William replied, but he was looking at Ron.

In Hogwarts, if you want everyone to know something, you can tell Hagrid, and if you want everyone to know that something happened but can't figure out the truth, you can Tell it to Ron.

Ron showed a disappointed expression.

"Okay, William, no problem."

He muttered, "But when are we going to tell people? If everyone knows about it, then there's nothing to talk about."

Go deep into the underground passages of Hogwarts to find the whereabouts of the basilisk. After a fierce battle, he, together with his best friend Harry, defeated the bloodthirsty beast.

What an inspiring story.

"Trust me, you won't have to wait long."

William said confidently.
