All the way down, there is nothing, except the road is dark and long.

Cyril even felt that they had descended at least four or five floors from the moment they entered the fireplace secret door to the present.

"I have studied here for 7 years, and I never knew that Hogwarts has such a deep basement." Benny walked behind and sighed.

"Actually neither do I." Snape said rarely.

The further you go down, the damper and colder it gets, and even your footsteps echo.

Cyril thought of the professor's special reminder to wear an extra dress before leaving tonight, and couldn't help but feel flattered.

At last they stopped before a gate with iron bars.

"Did Lord Slytherin give you the key?" Benny asked.

Snape looked at the condition of the door with his wand, and said, "It should be an ordinary iron door. I'm not sure what spell is on it."

"I think we should stand far away and break open directly. Iron gates generally don't have profound protection spells." ——Benny looked serious.

"On the contrary, I feel that several major curses can be used as a medium." - Dean Snape immediately retorted.

Cyril stepped forward, looked up and down, and while the two were busy arguing, he quietly reached out and pulled the latch door lock.

"Squeak—" The door opened in response, and the two wizards who were thinking about how to get in both shut their mouths.

"How can I get started directly? What if there is a curse on the door? What if there is danger?"

After reacting for a few seconds, Benny immediately stood up and chattered.

"But why did Lord Slytherin cast a curse on the door that must pass through to see his pet?" Cyril asked weakly.

"..."

"Go on!" Snape's thousand words turned into a helpless sigh.

After entering the iron gate, water began to accumulate on the ground, and it creaked when stepped on.A closer look revealed that the crushed bones were small animals, most of which looked like rodents.

Benny was surprised at first, then sneered and said, "You Mama complained to me this afternoon that you couldn't come together, and now I'm glad she didn't come."

"Yes. My mother will definitely go crazy." Cyril nodded with concern.

After walking through this "creaking" creepy road, I finally arrived at a spacious hall.

There are marble walls on both sides, and facing them is a hideous and huge human face, his mouth is opened wide, and it is a closed round hole.

"The map shows the basilisk is inside," Snape said tensely.

"Then, I'll go there? I've mastered the method in the handbook."

Benny suddenly stood up and pinched his son's shoulder, as if he wanted to say something, but he couldn't say it for a long time.

"Dad, there will be no problem. The inheritors of Slytherin will not be hurt by the stare of the basilisk. I will go up and deal with it first, and you will come out after a while after I call out." Cyril pretended to be cheerful He took the initiative to take over the conversation.

"Your father and I are here, don't be aggressive," Snape said dryly.

"Okay, professor. Then please be sure to stand here before solving the problem, and pay attention to safety." Cyril obediently agreed.

"Son, no..." Benny suddenly grabbed Cyril who was about to turn around.

Cyril took a firm look at his father, then shook his head lightly, interrupting what his father was about to blurt out.

"See you later!" The boy pulled his arm out, turned around firmly, and walked towards the giant sculpture alone.

"Da, da, da..." The leather shoes stepped on the watery ground, making crisp footsteps, from near to far.

Cyril's stature has suddenly increased this year, and she has lost the chubby appearance of a little boy. From the back view, she looks a bit like a teenager.Dressed in black, she looked even taller and taller.

For a moment (maybe several), Benny felt like his little Fluffy had really grown.

"Why didn't you stop him just now? He's still a child..." Benny suddenly turned and looked at his junior worriedly.

"It's useless to stop him, he will still go. And... I think he can do it. In case, I go out first in a while, you go outside and contact Dumbledore immediately." Snape said softly.

Here, Cyril was a little nervous, but more excited, walked under the huge sculpture and stood still.

Looking directly at the giant statue, Cyril uttered a long series of spells with strong rhythm.

This spell appeared at the very beginning of the Codex. It was the owner's awakening spell for pets. Such pets would be much gentler than direct forced awakening.

The sound of "Xixisuosuo" slowly came from the closed cave.Cyril knew that the spell was working.

Cyril made some adjustments, struck while the iron was hot, and uttered the second spell.This spell is much shorter than the first one, and is used to tame the basilisk.Generally, when a new owner appears, no matter whether this person is recognized by the previous owner or not, powerful pets are not always easy to be tamed and have their own persistence.

Although this spell seems simple, it actually consumes a lot of magic power. Cyril originally planned to put it last.But it is better to think of the deterrent effect at the beginning.

In fact, he also added some small changes, because he is not only a wizard, but also a descendant of the white fox clan.

So when he read the last word, he took out the talisman and made a formula.He intends to test the pressure in two directions and try to get it done once.

Abundant spiritual power surged from the dantian, and the magic power continued to spread outward. The voice of the big guy in the cave was louder, and he could feel that the basilisk was very disturbed now.

Cyril blushed and continued to release the double pressure.

Snape and Benny behind the stone pillar in the distance exchanged a look of surprise, this child who was pretentious under their noses every day could release such a shocking magic pressure!

Here, Cyril didn't dare to relax. He felt fine at first, but now he's a little tired.Only two or three minutes passed between them.Even so, he still needs to be grateful for the baptism of the unknown magic circle in the afternoon, because the last time he practiced by himself, he was probably exhausted at this time.

I feel that my magic power has increased a lot after the afternoon, which is really a windfall!

Suddenly the mouth of the sculpture in front of him opened, and a black hole appeared in front of Cyril, and a stench came over his face. Cyril squinted his eyes, and a big dark green snake slipped out of it.

It has yellow eyes, a tuft of red feathers on the top of its head, and the scales on its body are like armor, which looks extremely hard.

The most shocking thing was its size. Cyril felt that its head was almost as tall as his own, so it would be no problem to swallow a person in one gulp.

The basilisk Basilisk stopped in front of him, glaring at him, making no further moves.

Cyril did not take back his magic pressure, and decided to grit his teeth and insist on it, after all, everything is not good now.

After a while, maybe a dozen seconds, maybe several minutes, in short, when Cyril felt his back was drenched in cold sweat, Basilisk suddenly put his raised head on the ground.

Cyril blinked, then slowly withdrew the magic pressure.

Raising his slightly trembling left hand, he cast the third incantation - telepathy.

This is the spell Lord Slytherin mentioned earlier.A permanent translation spell, of course he invented it, for Basilisk only.

Basilisk cooperated exceptionally, he didn't move around, and he didn't bark his teeth. Cyril cast the spell slowly because he was a little tired, but even so, there was no accident.

Two white lights entered the foreheads of one basilisk and the other, and a hoarse voice suddenly appeared in Cyril's mind: "Who are you? Why do you have the brand of Salazar? Where is Salazar?"

"I am your new master, Salazar asked me to come to you." Cyril said succinctly.

"Isn't he coming back? What time is it now... I feel like I've slept for a long time, so long that I can't remember some things..."

"It's 1988 A.D., you have indeed been asleep for too long, my friend."

"It's been more than 1000 years..." The basilisk fell silent for a moment, as if a little lost.

"Do you want to go out?" Cyril asked suddenly.

"What's the need if you can't go out? I don't know anyone outside." Basilisk said sadly.

Cyril was shocked. He thought he would face a fierce, cold and cruel basilisk, but he didn't lose his temper when he met the basilisk, but he was immersed in the vicissitudes of life and death.

It's really hard to know what to do... This basilisk was probably rescued by the museum, and it looks a little depressed.

"I can make you smaller and use the spell that Salazar left for you back then. You will follow me in the future, and if you have time, you can visit your old master."

The basilisk probably listened and nodded slightly.

"What is the strange power in you? I just felt it. It's like a kind of white magic, but it's not the same..."

"I am a descendant of the Eastern White Fox and the Wizard, integrating two powers."

"You have good abilities... I thought you were at least an adult wizard, but I didn't expect you to be so young..."

"There is still a long way to go." Cyril scratched her head shyly.

"Then the new master, will there be any lambs after we go out?" Basilisk asked with his head up and changed his posture, contrary to his tone of vicissitudes just now.

"Sufficiency."

"Every meal?"

"Don't you like steak?" Cyril was a little amused.

"Oh, I hope the house-elves at Hogwarts will do a good job. Then new master, let's sign the contract!"

"it is good."

Cyril gently covered the red feathers on Basilisk's head with his right hand, and recited the contract spell.

After a while, the contract is completed.

"Basilisk, I will be your master from now on, you can call me Cyril."

"Cyril." Basilisk repeated hissingly.

"Very good. After you go out with me, you must never hurt others. There are two... relatives of mine here. Put on the blindfold first, and I will introduce you."

"Cyril, in fact, those who have gained my approval don't need to worry about my eyes." Basilisk said slowly.

"Oh that's great! How can I get your approval?"

"I'll close my eyes first, you bring them to the front, I can handle it myself."

In the end, Cyril called out Benny and Dean Snape who had been waiting anxiously and didn't understand anything.

When the two of them saw the huge basilisk in front of Cyril, their expressions were not very good.

To be exact, it is very bad.

"Dad, Professor, please come here, I will let the basilisk recognize you." Cyril did not feel the collapse of the two wizards at all, and smiled excitedly on his face.

In the end, Cyril shrunk the Basilisk and put on a blindfold, wrapped it around his wrist, and brought it out with the professor's father.

"Son, I'm still a little worried. Are you sure that the blindfold of your basilisk is strong? This is no joke."

Compared with the way to go, everyone was much more relaxed on the way back.Things went much better than they thought.

"Don't worry, dad, it's an alchemy product made by His Excellency Slytherin himself, and no one can take it off except with my permission."

"Then the basilisk has been wrapped around your wrist since then?"

"No, Basilisk doesn't want this either, maybe I'll have time to put it in the Forbidden Forest to let it out or something. While the professor goes to gather herbs or something."

Snape seemed to have no doubts about being "arranged" directly, and was very silent all the way.

"Anyway, I'll give Basilisk a bath first when I go back. This is a basilisk that hasn't been bathed in 1000 years." Cyril said as if suddenly remembering something.

"Don't go back to the dormitory tonight." Snape said suddenly.
