Chapter 451: On the importance of mastering multiple languages
Sun Zhu leaned against the dusty staircase handrail, panting slightly.
She climbed the stairs, waving her wand and shouting "Clean up."
"How long has it been since anyone came here? No, no one should live here." She muttered in a low voice, "But such a beautiful house is so dirty, even if I don't have mysophobia, I can't stand it. "
The palace was not big, and there were seven floors including the attic on the top floor. After climbing six floors, Sun Zhufang walked lightly and carefully opened the small door connecting the attic.
"Host, after entering the door, go to the right. Nagini is coiled on the carpet on the left."
"What is she doing?"
"I haven't done anything. I must be in a daze."
"Maybe he fainted from hunger." She walked in quietly, looked around carefully, and sure enough, she saw a big snake with a black body and a mesh pattern lying in the room.
Frankly speaking, she is not as big and crude as the Basilisk. Her body has graceful curves and is much prettier than the Basilisk. She can be called a beautiful snake.
Sun Zhu squatted down and tried to integrate himself with the surrounding environment.
Her Disguise Charm is not very useful for hiding other things, but it is still suitable for hiding herself.
However, just hiding it like this is not the answer.
She slowly moved to Nagini's eyes and waved her hand.
Nagini showed no reaction, not even blinking.
She called softly again: "Nagini, can you hear me?"
"Host, if you shout like this, she won't react."
"Then what do you want to do?" Sun Zhu put his chin on his knees and squatted next to Nagini, "I can't just open her mouth and force it in."
"Of course it can't be like this, Nagini is a poisonous snake." Tongzi quickly stopped her from seeking death, "Actually, the reason why she is like this now is because the dragon suppressed her with divine breath before, so her consciousness has not yet fully recovered. ”
"But the basilisk was not at all ambiguous when it said she beat it."
"It was a spontaneous act of her body that she did without having to think about it."
Well, it sounds like the basilisk really deserves a beating.
"If I really knew how to speak Parseltongue, maybe I could communicate better."
"You can try it now." Tongzi said: "Your proficiency in animal language is not yet able to communicate with her now, but this is an opportunity. Think about what words can awaken her consciousness, maybe it can improve her consciousness. It’s talent.”
"I can't hope for this." Sun Zhu sighed, rubbing his fingers on the blanket, "I can't think of anything else that can wake her up. She should have completely lost her memory by now. Even if I yell at her, Reddens, I’m afraid it’s useless.”
Sun Zhu removed the illusion spell and appeared next to Nagini. She approached carefully, but the big snake remained motionless.
"Nagini, what is really important in your heart?" She held the bead in her hand, wondering what she could turn it into to attract the snake's attention. "Everything that has appeared in your life and is important to you. Does it still mean something to you?"
"Credence... Grindelwald..." Sun Zhu tried to call out a few names, "It seems that neither your close friend nor your enemy can attract your attention at all."
"Then why did you talk to Voldemort! It can't be because he has no nose." Sun Zhu couldn't understand. "Or, when he appeared in front of you, he was in the same lonely and helpless state as you. Plus He speaks Parseltongue, so you were deceived by him?”
Sun Zhu chattered a lot, but Nagini remained the same. He neither attacked her nor paid any attention to her shouting, as if she didn't exist at all.
"It seems that we can only try this method." She stood up and took out a square object from the pocket of her big coat.
"Host, what is this?"
"The tape recorder I borrowed temporarily from Fina was a gift I gave her before. It can play songs and record simple words."
She raised her hand and pressed the record button, and a young male voice came out.
"Hello, your name is Nagini." The boy's voice was slightly stuttered, but he continued smoothly, "You are not a snake, but a human. Because you encountered a terrible curse , so you become like this. Please don’t be afraid. I fully understand what you are going through and want to help you. Please believe me. I can rescue you from this body. If you often feel pain, just ask. Please cooperate with me. I will find a way to bring you freedom and let you return to your friends."
Nagini, who had been motionless, finally reacted. She raised her snake head and moved closer to the source of the sound - the tape recorder.
Sun Zhu was stunned for a second, immediately entered the phantom state, and became invisible in front of Nagini again. She pressed the repeat button and started playing the words Harry had recorded in advance from the beginning.
Of course, she asked Harry to read this in Parseltongue. And he didn't understand what Sun Zhu meant at first, didn't know how to speak Parseltongue skillfully, and didn't understand what this passage meant.
But since the misunderstanding last semester, Sun Zhu hasn't contacted him for a long time. When they met again, she gave him such a difficult problem, but after stumbling, he finally completed it.
"So, even if you have talent, you still need to practice more. Harry is born with Parseltongue, but if he doesn't talk more, I don't know how far he can use it." In order to wait for him to finish this sentence, She didn't come to Nagini until now. Facts have proved that knowing one more language means another way. When Nagini completely refused to communicate with the outside world, she would only respond if she bombarded her with her own "language".
"You seem to have disturbed her." The tape recorder in the corner was whipped to the wall by Nagini's tail, and then fell down with a thud, but Harry's voice did not stop.
Although in Sun Zhu's ears, it was just a series of strange hissing sounds with unknown meaning, she believed that Nagini understood it.
"As long as there is a reaction." Sun Zhu furtively touched the tape recorder again, "Here, let's play it again."
