Alchemy Black Technology at Hogwarts

Chapter 94
Thinking of the original fate of the basilisk, William felt deeply sad.

It followed Salazar Slytherin, one of the Big Four, and guarded the school for him for millennia, just waiting for an heir who didn't know if he would show up.

Even for this touching loyalty alone, the Basilisk deserves a better deal.

"I would say that the basilisk should be able to live in its favorite environment, enjoy a sufficient and delicious food supply every day, and have enough potions as drinks, and the house elves and wizards should take the initiative to provide for it. Great service."

William has already conceived a suitable and deserved area for the Basilisk in the future industrial park.

"In order to ensure that the basilisk's actions are always under control, a sufficiently large and hard cage is naturally necessary-this must be customized in advance, and we can't expect to be transformed by the transformation technique at that time, it will definitely not be strong enough.

And its eyes, blinded as roughly as Fox's, it's a pity. "

You must know that even Nicole Flamel had no chance to experiment with materials from a basilisk, let alone a basilisk that had lived for more than a thousand years.

"In other words, the best way to deal with this thing is to let it pass out, and then limit its mobility while it is still awake.

If there is no way to make it numb, it is best to choose a soulless creature and use physical methods to help it relieve the pain of lack of sleep. "

William suddenly thought that the many armor statues in Hogwarts Castle, under the mobilization of the magic spell, they can be said to be the natural enemies of the basilisk.

"But how to let them get in touch with the basilisk hidden in the secret room is the problem. The basilisk will only hide in the pipeline and attack under the order of the old Futou.

Speaking of which, in the castles built by the Anglo-Saxons thousands of years ago, how could there be pipes, which were obviously not of that era. "

Thousands of years ago, the treatment of sewage was much simpler than it is now - people just need to open the window and pour it on the ground outside.

An idea came to William's mind.

"Unless... they wouldn't be so bold."

Although he felt that this idea was a bit messy, William still cast a disillusionment spell on himself, and quickly ran to the library.

After a while.

A deep and remote corridor in the library.

"The Rise and Fall of Hogwarts Castle: The Persisting Threat of Muggle Blood". "Hogwarts Constitution Change, Seventh Edition". Plans and Drawings of the Piping System of the Gewarz Castle".

That's right, this is it. "

William took the book as thick as a dictionary from the shelf, touched its outer skin with his wand, and brushed off the thick layer of dust and cobwebs that covered it.

He'd bet no one had read the book since it was finished.

"Cvinus Gaunt?"

He saw the author's name of the book.

Gaunt is the surname of a descendant of Slytherin, and must be one of the insiders of the Chamber of Secrets.Perhaps it was precisely because he knew the reason for the existence of the Chamber of Secrets that he took the initiative to take this job that must have been unpleasant at the time.

"With the permission of the honorable directors of the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and the support of the headmaster, Ms. Devant, we will carry out appropriate renovations to the old drainage system of the castle according to the following plan."

With the light from the top of his wand, William read the contents of the book word for word.

Although the words used in English at that time were quite different from those in modern English, he still tried his best to restore them even after guessing. Wizards in the [-]th century had already reproduced Hogwarts, which needed to be solved on the spot. It can't be tolerated anymore.

But the descendants of Slytherin, the wizards of the Gaunt family, naturally knew that once Hogwarts began to rebuild the drainage system, the truth about their ancestors' "little pets" would definitely be exposed.

So they decided to go first.

The patriarch of the Gaunt family, Kvinus Gaunt, took the initiative to launch an initiative to modernize Hogwarts on the school board, and actively pushed other school board members to pass it - in order to facilitate this process, he He also "unwillingly" personally took over this troublesome job.

Somewhat similar to William's thinking, Kvinus also agreed that this matter must be designed by Muggles, so he kidnapped some Muggles with the Imperius Curse and let them work under his instruction.

Kvinus set the secret room where the basilisk hides at the bottom of the castle's plumbing system, and perhaps out of some kind of malice, or as the times changed, the entrance to the secret room became the second floor of the castle. The old girls' bathroom.

"The whole project lasted for several years, and the Muggles in charge of this work may even have changed several batches. When they were working, maybe the basilisk was cruising not far away, and maybe sometimes they took a fancy to a long Lovely people, and will have a good meal."

Although this book only records the progress of the project in a very official tone, it is not difficult for William to figure out the facts that happened at that time from the changes in the number of people.

At the end of each quarter, the number of workers is much smaller than at the beginning of the quarter, but at the beginning of the next quarter, it will suddenly increase again.

"Don't say that the workers left after receiving their wages. I don't believe that you are really so kind."

Thinking about it, William quickly flipped through the part of this record, until he came to the final part of the planning drawings.

The headmaster at the time, Dairis DeVante, only served for 40 years, and for almost the entire eighteenth century, Hogwarts was under the leadership of a pro-pure-blood headmaster.

At the end of the century, Phineas Nigellus Black, the patriarch of the Black family, became the headmaster himself, and worked hard to pass a bill to officially legalize the use of spells to harm Muggles.

He almost made it.

"That's right, the lowermost shadow area, connected to the Black Lake, should be Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets.

It connects various parts of the castle in the form of many pipes, here is the old bathroom on the second floor”

William looked at the design drawing carefully.

It was placed in the library in such a grand manner, and the arrogant Gaunt family didn't seem to worry at all that someone would come to read this book in the future, and might even be complacent about it.

"It's not considered an advanced design. Excluding the obviously too thin or too steep pipes, you can basically determine the possible range of activities of the basilisk—that architect can finally come in handy again."

William left the library under Mrs. Pince's eyes wondering when he appeared and whether he wanted to borrow this book because of some evil spirit.

Although he still has to wait for the more experienced Mr. Anderson to verify, he already has a good idea about how to make the basilisk lie down.

This discovery alone was worth William rewarding himself with a good lunch, and the letter from Gemma during lunch made his joy a little more real.

　For information, refer to Pottermore, Chamber of Secrets. The person responsible for rebuilding the piping system was Kvinus Gunter, but it can only be confirmed that it was the 18th century, and Doris was the principal in the middle of the 18th century.
