A True Story of a Wizard's Life

"Hiss! Hiss—" the basilisk let out a very painful cry. It seemed to be stimulated by a strong light suddenly, and it fell to the side wall in a daze, making a violent impact sound. The basilisk The sound of the collision of the head against the wall was so loud that it knocked off the dust all over the place.

Gabriel looked at Dumbledore with some guilt. She didn't expect the basilisk to be so fragile. Logically speaking, the basilisk has a 50.00% chance of being immune to its own death gaze, which involves the effect of the death gaze on the body. What kind of part, if it acts on the soul, it may be very difficult to really be immune.Gabriel couldn't use humans to do experiments, so he used basilisks to do experiments. From the effect point of view, it should really be related to the soul, so its rough skin and thick flesh are reflected painfully.

"Dumbledore, what is this basilisk saying? Do you understand?"

"Before it saw you, it said 'Intruders, I'm going to eat you.' After that, it was too busy to say anything else."

Dumbledore was doing the translation as objectively as possible, but he thought that the friendly negotiation with the basilisk was basically impossible. The dazed basilisk had already coiled its tail, and it looked like it was going to attack appearance.

The little snake Gail had been reminded by Dumbledore in advance to let him say a few words in front of the basilisk's door, but unfortunately Gail didn't hiss a few words, and the basilisk drew its tail with hiss, this thick tail With a strong wind, it swept to the stone wall of the aisle, knocking out a big hole in the stone wall!

Dumbledore rolled to the ground and fled, still dutifully translating, "It said it must kill us, smash us up and swallow us."

Hearing this, Gabriel took out a small metal square box from her pocket without hesitation. She tapped the box with her magic wand, and after it started to glow white, she threw it at the Basilisk without any nonsense. past.I saw this small square box burst open above the body of the basilisk. It is a snake-catching alchemy item powered by potion. The combination of potion and magic circle can instantly produce a strong light element. It is also mixed with the holy water provided by Sherlock, which is a better weapon than the big rooster for magical creatures with dark attributes like the basilisk.

"Since it's not going to talk, we're going to use the second plan. Hitting the snake seven inches, it's the same for the basilisk. Snape, are you ready. I'll float this stone over its body Go. Dumbledore, you distracted it with Parseltongue."

Before they come down, they have two plans. First of all, of course, they hope to reach an agreement peacefully. If they fail to negotiate, they will use force to conquer.The basilisk is indeed very powerful, but only when it is under the control of its master can it exert the highest value of force, otherwise it is not invulnerable, and a well-prepared wizard can capture it alive.

Their plan for catching alive is very rough and simple. After throwing the snake-catching alchemy item, even if the basilisk has strong magic resistance, there will be a period of 2 minutes of insensitivity. Gabriel used the Levitation Charm to levitate the stone above the basilisk's body.Then when the stone fell, Snape used the speed to increase, and suppressed a basilisk under the boulder. If the stone hit the basilisk seven inches above, it would be so painful that it would be unable to move.

This is an uncomplicated snake catching process. It is easy to say, but it requires the close cooperation of three people. The three of them rehearsed several times in the Response Room, and this time they really got started, and the effect perfectly met expectations. .

No one fell off the chain. I saw that the basilisk was hit seven inches by a boulder with a bang. It experienced three critical strikes in just 5 minutes. It's because the snake's body can't move at all. Why, as a basilisk, it suddenly suffered such a catastrophe?

The basilisk still had the strength to hiss, and Dumbledore continued to translate, "The basilisk kills it if it has the ability, otherwise it will definitely take revenge. I think we should make it smaller first, the other spirit You can also try branding."

Gabriel had no objection, she just hoped that Snape wouldn't feel bad about the legendary Slytherin's pet, "Snape, would you like to do it? Make it smaller, just like Kevin did to those few pets." Made by a werewolf."

Generally speaking, Transfiguration is used on living bodies, which is almost an attack behavior. Kevin turned them into stone balls in order to take away the experimental werewolves, but now it seems better to force the basilisk to be smaller, at least Don't let it become dead.

Snape didn't feel any reluctance. Since the basilisk could not be taken back by them in a peaceful way, it could only be the one who was stronger between the two.He was honored to experiment on the basilisk with an enhanced version of the polymorph he learned from Kevin, and he hoped the basilisk would be honored as well.

As Snape raised his wand and cast a spell on the basilisk, the basilisk, which could stand several meters tall, shrank into a snake about the size of the little snake Gale, and now its entire body was shattered. crushed under a stone.

Gabriel removed the boulder, and their next step was to mentally brand the snake.

Since spiritual power can communicate and control people with the Imperius Curse, it is theoretically feasible to apply a spiritual brand.It's just that the basilisk is more resistant to magic, so the three of them need to imprint the basilisk together. This is different from forming a soul contract. It is something Gabriel figured out by himself, and it is also a test product for using the basilisk.

There is no way, since friendly coexistence cannot be achieved, there is only absolute suppression.

In fact, what Gabriel didn't say was that she never expected to have a peace contract, and from the very beginning held the idea of ​​beating the basilisk until it accepted its fate.

The imprinting process of this mental power brand went smoothly. The mental power of the three did not oppose each other, but unified against the basilisk, which was equivalent to adding three locks to its mental power.As for the firmness and weight of the lock, it can be strengthened every day so that it cannot escape.

The basilisk was tossed like this, and it also lost half of its life. Gabriel cast a spell on the eyes that glowed with death to make them unable to open, and then put them in the crystal box prepared in advance. This snake It's been a long time since I lost my freedom.

The three dealt with the basilisk, and naturally began to explore where it lived.This place is said to be Slytherin's secret room, but apart from the trace left by the basilisk, there are no clues left by Slytherin.

Dumbledore raised a question, "I think Slytherin, as the founder of Hogwarts, should not keep basilisks in the school as long as there is no problem with his logical thinking. This is always a safety hazard. Judging from the fact that the basilisk didn't have much brains just now, I don't think the basilisk will let the pure-blood wizard go. Could it be that Slytherin really wants to do blood cleansing?"

While picking up the snake slough, Gabriel casually took Dumbledore's words, "It's not that Slytherin's whereabouts are unknown. I think it's easy to understand, but he left in too haste and didn't have time to tell It’s that simple to take the basilisk away. As for why the other three school founders didn’t clean up the basilisk, they probably don’t know about it at all. Why do you have to think so complicated.”
