Archdruid of Hogwarts

A quarter of a calf was casually thrown out of Ernie's satchel. He was now in a werewolf state and had that strength.

The basilisk caught it in one gulp and swallowed it quickly.

Another quarter was thrown out and swallowed equally quickly.

Ernie had been paying attention to the basilisk's body.

Sure enough, as expected, the basilisk is not like snakes and pythons. After swallowing a huge amount of food, the abdomen will be deformed and it will take a long time to digest. The basilisk has a very strong digestive ability and has a specialized The muscles store food into a standard form.

Two more quarter calves were fed. The basilisk enjoyed the meal very much and was still unsatisfied, but Ernie stopped.

"Come with me. You don't have to stay in this uncomfortable cave. There is a wider area for you to move around."

When he said this, Ernie's heart once again reminded him that he was worried that the Basilisk had priority orders set by Salazar Slytherin in the early years, so that the Basilisk could only move around Hogwarts and the surrounding areas, but not leave.

But the basilisk responded to him obediently.

It went so smoothly that Ernie was both happy and doubtful.

He's the kind of person who believes in conspiracy theories more than reality.

Especially the founder of Snake Yard, he always felt that Salazar was a boss-level old silver coin.

But the actual situation is that it was smooth from beginning to end. He just led the basilisk and successfully passed the path to the secret country.

The spell priority and effectiveness level of Secret Path are very high. Creatures with high magic resistance such as basilisk, which can survive several killing curses from the front, are shrunk without any notice.

On the contrary, it was Ernie. In werewolf form, his heightened acuity and perception allowed him to detect abnormalities when he passed.

I'm a little happy. Obviously there are factors that have grown a lot compared to last year. Let's be beautiful for a while and then harvest the emotional currency.

After the basilisk is shrunk into a small reptile, it becomes much easier to deal with.

Again, although the Three Magical Artifacts of Lilliput are not famous, the level of magic they possess is not much worse than the famous Three Holy Artifacts of Death.

In this context, the shrinkage of the basilisk is not just a reduction in size, but an all-round weakening.

With these prerequisites, Dumbledore was able to handle the basilisk like old Versailles in the biology laboratory, flattening it, rounding it, and handling it at will.

Dumbledore waved his wand, and with one spell, the basilisk fell into a sleepy state.

Ernie, through transformation, once again got rid of the magical constraints.

This was the first time that Dumbledore witnessed Ernie completely dispelling the effects of Lilliputian magic through a simple transformation.

As of now, only Ernie can do it, and no one else can.

It is precisely because of this that the Lilliputian riot, which had caused Dumbledore so much trouble that he still dared not be careless until now, did not deteriorate further and turn into a rout.

Think about it, the destructive power of a wizard who has returned to normal form, or even a large number of young and strong ordinary people, can be huge. The barrier set up by Dumbledore may not be able to close it.

Speaking of this enchantment, it was specifically created using the Kaa family's playground as the base.

Dumbledore found a secret cave, cast enough extension spells, and then unfolded the packed playground. The facilities that needed to be placed, such as tents and so on, were built around it.

In the huge open space in the center, a super-large sand table was built. The baron's castle and the magic factory were placed in this sand table.

After taking down the basilisk, the two immediately packed up their tools and left the secret room.

Dumbledore told Ernie that there were still some valuable secrets to be discovered in the Chamber of Secrets.

Ernie said frankly: "This is probably the benefit and test left by Lord Slytherin for the heirs. With Tom Riddle's talent back then, he only got a part of it. I know the difference myself, so I won't show my shame.

Besides, Lord Slytherin's path is probably quite different from the path I chose. "

Ernie's answer made Dumbledore very satisfied, and he joked: "Then I will arrange a treasure hunting adventure for your little friend here, and then you are not allowed to say jealous words."

Ernie complained: "I'm jealous of a chicken. Do I need a project? I talked about the Dark Forest with the centaur leader last year. I promised him that he would have time to discuss it in detail, but now he has not been able to fulfill his promise. As a result, he has a white beard again. , Storm two projects. Would I be envious of the Chamber of Secrets on one side that was washed away by Voldemort? Have fun!"

He replied: "The secret society I run has a special adventure MVP. I wish I could find more reasonable excuses to give Harry and the others magic objects. This time will be no exception."

"Oh, I've also visited the showroom. It's great. It's a pity that Hogwarts can't encourage such adventures." Just like every pair of parents has their own parenting experience, Dumbledore also has a very good idea of ​​how to raise little wizards. There are ideas, but there are all kinds of constraints and willfulness.

Apparating from near the Forbidden Forest to the Secret Cliff Camp, Dumbledore went to deal with the basilisk, while Ernie carefully observed the camp materials.

He had tried hard to memorize some details of the Ugly Country Playground, and was preparing to verify the authenticity of Whitebeard's remarks through comparison.

Although those who are good at liars always play nine truths and one falsehood, even if it is confirmed that this amusement park tent has the same origin as the one in the secret place near Pittsburgh in the Ugly Kingdom, it does not mean that the beard did not deceive him on key issues, but At least it can be used as a clue.

Take this real thing and let Nick Flamel identify it. Isn't it delicious?

Now comparing them, I found that they are indeed made of the same material.

It has to be said that there are advantages to having all kinds of items in the Wizarding Circle made in workshops and handmade, including being easy to identify.

The output is low, and only so much is produced in each batch, so it is easier to verify whether it is a batch of products from multiple angles such as time, raw materials, and process.

Facts have proved that Whitebeard did not lie on this matter. Anyway, he could not detect the lie.

"The only thing we can do is ask Nick Flamel, who we have seen for a long time. Damn it, who is that old monster with white beard?" When Ernie was once again thinking about who White Beard was, Deng Bledo called to him.

He went over to take a look and saw the basilisk lying in the overlapping magic circle. It was surrounded by dirty, dark and sticky blood as thick as thin asphalt. The fishy smell was astounding to his nostrils, but the basilisk was motionless, as if dead.

"The blood transfusion is completed. Next is the most critical transformation of adaptive consciousness. You need to do your best to comfort him. Success or failure depends on this."

"Oh, I'll try my best!" Ernie was as calm as ever, as steady as an old dog.

Soon, the actual operation will begin.

After waking up, the basilisk was in great pain and rolled all over the ground.

Ernie, on the other hand, followed his feelings and still used bestiality, but this time he did not add the power of nightmare, but tried to switch to the power of wildness and the power of life.

However, the effect was mediocre, and he was almost knocked away by the basilisk's subconscious sweep.

Finally, Ernie put on the wild power that represented protection, and the beast's language spell became obviously effective.

After the power of the curse was eroded, black snow oozed from the basilisk's body again, turning from black to red, and then gradually calmed down.

Ernie once again fed a calf with sliced ​​fresh meat. The basilisk also knew that it needed to take nourishment now, so after swallowing it with all its strength, it fell into a deep sleep.

Dumbledore and Ernie both heaved a sigh of relief. Although there was still some follow-up work to be done, and even Ernie had to cooperate with the training, these could only be regarded as peripheral work.

"You did a great job, Ernie." Dumbledore praised with joy.

With the basilisk that washes away the dark blood, and the phoenix, the repressive power of Lilliput is completely intact, and no one can escape the joint custody of the two.

"To be honest, I didn't expect it to go so smoothly. I thought that both Voldemort and Lord Slytherin would put restrictions on the Basilisk."

"I'm not surprised that Slytherin recognizes descendants who can speak Reptilian as the successors of the Chamber of Secrets, while Tom Riddle thinks who else is better than me."

"Arrogant." Ernie nodded, feeling that this reason was barely justified.

This time he helped Dumbledore a favor, and of course he was paid. As agreed early on, Dumbledore promised to help him contact Nick Flamel.

Speaking of which, in the past two years, Nick LeMay has been disturbed a lot, making Nick LeMay look cheap. In fact, it is not the case at all.

From the moment Nick Flamel gave the Philosopher's Stone to Dumbledore, it meant that Nick Flamel was tired of human life, restarted the natural aging process, and would die in a few years.

It is not difficult to imagine that at this point in his life, there are absolutely very few people and things that can impress him, let alone harass him frequently.

Therefore, the seemingly simple matchmaking is actually valuable enough.

"You have to prepare a special set of extraordinary items that can interest Nick Flamel as a stepping stone. The cost is already very high. Whitebeard, Whitebeard, this account will be charged to you..." Ernie felt a little hateful. I thought hatefully.

Mainly because Whitebeard revealed his Lilliputian show in one breath, which brought him enough surprise and shock. Even if he didn't have advanced illusions, he still had to have a good time with this white beard.

Mi Ya Camp is located in a cave in the North Sea, not far from Hogwarts.

Ernie only used Disapparation once and returned to the Forbidden Forest.

First, he returned the emperor turkey, and then stuffed a recitation letter into the crack of the door of Hagrid's hut. Even if Hagrid didn't notice, this letter would be automatically activated after sunrise tomorrow morning.

There are no secrets involved, just tell Hagrid and the Emperor to keep raising the turkeys, and provide extra meals for all the teachers and students in the school at Christmas.

It's quite luxurious when you think about it, after all, it is a rare bird. But Ernie is not an animal supremacist.

After leaving Hagrid's hut, Ernie thought for a while and finally did not go back to the dormitory directly. Instead, he first went to the Oak Nursing Home via the Whomping Willow.

After a night patrol of the sanatorium's night operations, he went back to the secret society activity room to check on the operation of the magic kitchen, and then returned to the dormitory.

The next morning was History of Magic and Astronomy, so I skipped class and slept until noon.

Hannah was even more considerate this year. Seeing that he didn't come to class, she just used the medical record she prepared early in the morning to ask for sick leave for him.

Of course the professor knew it was fake, but at least by following this procedure, it would not embarrass him and give him an explanation for most of the young wizards. Bad examples are too blatant and difficult for students to follow.

In a blink of an eye, it’s the weekend.

Ernie also went to the Secret Cliff Camp last night to help train the basilisk.

The progress is good, and after three or five more attempts, Basilisk will be officially on duty.

In Lilliput, we have not yet recruited enough managers from the mortal world, but the first batch of five people are already conducting on-site inspections to understand the situation and formulate future policy strategies. They will take office next week at the latest.

For this reason, Dumbledore was already in the mood to invite him to eat Honey Olaf.

Ernie didn't like that stuff, especially Dumbledore's taste, which was sweetened with honey and sugar, like saccharin, so sweet.

The Audio-Technica had not been able to see Ernie for four or five days, so the conversation started at this dinner as if they had been suppressed. The main character under discussion was Professor Gilderoy Lockhart.

Ron's storytelling ability is still very good, vividly recalling the disastrous first Defense Against the Dark Arts lesson.

From the narcissistic and nutritious written test answers, to the incompetent performance of releasing the elf but failing to effectively control the results, causing chaos in the entire classroom.

Lockhart's amusement was brought to life by Ron, and even Harry and Hermione, who were involved, enjoyed it with gusto.

Harry finally added: "Although Ron, Hermione, and I successfully showed off our spellcasting and emergency abilities in front of everyone, and were greatly envied and praised, we don't feel that there is anything to be proud of at all. , but I feel terrible for encountering such a professor this year.”

Hermione agreed: "That's right, we are here to learn skills, not to watch performances. I miss Professor Quirrell and hope he can return next year. Mr. Lupin can do it too..."

Ernie cursed: "Don't think about it. Chilo, who has advanced to become a nightmare beekeeper (joking), has already embarked on a global nightmare search journey in order to serve the nightmare queen.

The first stop seemed to be Mao Xiong’s house.

It is indeed miserable there. Until 2011, the suicide rate ranked first in the world, never lower than 30 (per people), and the population is relatively concentrated. It is indeed a cost-effective collection site.

As for Lupine, Lupine is running on the road to the top of his life and there is no need to come to Hogwarts to be gilded! "

This is not Ernie’s boasting about Lupine. Maybe it’s because he has accumulated enough experience, or maybe his wandering life in the first half of his life gave Lupine full motivation. During this period of good conditions, Lupine was like a flying man, making rapid progress. , even Sirius repeatedly exclaimed that this is impossible!

For example, the combat power that is most respected by wizards.

In the actual combat training initiated by the Order of the Phoenix, Lupine was actually able to fight five against five and win steadily, including Sirius.

Of course, Lupine's ability to be so powerful is also related to Ernie teaching him the secret concept of 'perceptual spellcasting'.

After adapting and training hard, Lupine's magic power is now very powerful. Individuals who are good at it can even cast spells without a wand, or successfully cast counter-curses.

For example, let's say the spell is "clumsy tongue" which is a variant of "stick in front teeth". This spell is not a silencing spell, but should be said to be a word-changing spell.

Lupine is very good at this spell. With the spell, he can cast it successfully with a wave of his hand, and he can cast it on up to three targets at the same time. It is very sharp when used properly.

Another example is Lupine's Patronus Charm, which is also very good. It can be fused with the Armor Charm. After it is applied, it is almost invulnerable to all poisons. It can withstand no matter whether it is the 'Shen Feng Wu Ying' or several other famous evil curses. , this is very top.

Not to mention that as a Yamaguchi Werewolf, his reaction, speed, and resistance to blows are far beyond ordinary people.

Even Dumbledore said privately: "I never expected that Lupine could reach such heights given sufficient material conditions."...
