Chapter 84: Playing With Fire
It was past midnight when Solim left the principal's office. While thinking about the conversation just now, he estimated in his heart the possible follow-up impact of this incident. Unknowingly, he walked to a certain corridor on the fourth floor.
"Huh? Isn't this where Evans lives?" Solim was a little absorbed in thinking about things, and there was a little deviation in the route. "Forget it, since you're here, let's go in and sit down.
There was a knock on the door, and a moment later, Evans, in a blue and white striped pajamas, opened the door.
"What happened? You actually came to find me? Didn't you agree that I will be treated as if I don't exist in the future?" Evans welcomed Solim in.
Sitting down on the sofa, Solim covered his face and said in a decadent tone: "Our principal is going to make a big move in school again."
After hearing Solim's words, Evans twitched his face, and then asked cautiously: "What... kind of... big move?"
With a wry smile, Solim began to tell Evans what happened in the principal's office. "six five seven"
After listening to the whole process, Evans stood up abruptly: "He is committing a crime! He didn't care about the safety of people's lives and property at all for his own selfish desires! He didn't care about the great harm this incident might bring! He Don't worry about creating another Voldemort?"
Solim smiled wryly, "That's what I told him too, but the principal seems to be very confident... Oh, what a hell, you said I was a student, how could I get involved in this kind of thing It's gone." Then Solim looked at Evans strangely, "But your reaction is so big, it's a bit beyond my expectation."
"Wait! You just said, the monster in the secret room, what is that?" Evans suddenly thought of something.
"A basilisk." Solim didn't hide it, and there was nothing to hide about it, "a thousand-year-old basilisk" is the kind that stares at you and immediately makes your hair stand up.
"
Evans' ass fell onto the couch, and he's sunk into it now.
"Merlin... is he going to destroy this school?" Evans knew very well what kind of damage and casualties a basilisk of this age could bring.
For the sight of the basilisk to have the effect of instant death, it must be at least 300 years old. And the so-called "natural enemy" of the basilisk - the rooster, if you want to rely on the crowing of the rooster to kill the basilisk, the basilisk cannot be more than 500 years old. As for the thousand-year-old basilisk in Hogwarts, the effect of the crowing of the rooster is absolutely negligible, and it can't even weaken the basilisk. cock place. But that's all.
"The Philosopher's Stone incident last time was for Voldemort, that's all. Then what is it for this time? It can't be that he is crazy?" Evans asked a question.
"Last time, the Sorcerer's Stone mainly wanted to confirm Voldemort's situation, and train the Savior along the way." Solim rubbed his face, and explained to Evans, "This time, he wanted to give young Tom Riddle another chance, and then, incidentally, Exercise his savior...that's about it."
"It's just..." Evans said painfully: "I was absolutely crazy at the time, and I thought Hogwarts' work was easy..."
"Ah, like I said last year, Evans..." Solim couldn't help laughing, "You'll be busy in the future."
"However, can you not report the matter of the basilisk? Or report it after all the dust settles?"
Solim didn't naively think that Evans wouldn't know about the basilisk if he didn't talk about it. As long as something happened, the chubby wizard in front of him would definitely deduce in a short time that the basilisk was causing trouble in the school. And he has to report what happened in Hogwarts, so there is a thousand-year-old basilisk here that can't be hidden, and I don't know how many people are going to take a share of it.
"I can relieve your workload to a certain extent." Solim said, "So...can you make it easier for me?"
Evans looked at Solim, frowned and said, "You want to hit the basilisk's attention?" Then he gave Solim a big up and down, "That's right, you are a very talented little wizard, no one will deny that, But are you a little arrogant? That kind of thing is not you, it is me, and there is nothing wrong with it alone. If you consider the narrow place in the school, and a thousand-year-old basilisk in this kind of place Confrontation, you don't need the sight of the basilisk, it can kill you with a single tail. What do you think?"
The scales of the Millennium Basilisk are definitely the nemesis of the curse. The spell that can work on such scales is estimated to be in the single digits, and the basilisk's fangs, huge body, and deadly sight, these things make the basilisk almost impossible to be killed by a single existence, want to Kill a thousand-year-old basilisk, and it's in Hogwarts Castle --- this relatively narrow square. Not to mention Solim, even if all the strikers from the Ministry of Magic went together, the entire army would be wiped out without any suspense. The basilisk can kill several people with one tail, not to mention its deadly sight.
Wizards—that is, humans. It is always a kind of visual animal. Even if it is deliberately avoided, someone will accidentally make eye contact with the basilisk. As long as they meet, there are only three consequences.
"I'm really planning to attack the basilisk, but who told you that I have to confront it head-on?" Solim asked strangely, "Do I look so stupid? Knowing that a casual one can kill me Basilisk, are you stupid enough to confront it head-on?"
"Then what are you going to do?" Evans asked curiously. He thought he couldn't deal with the basilisk, but the little wizard in front of him seemed confident...he couldn't help being a little curious.
"You don't have to worry about it, I will get rid of the basilisk as soon as possible, so I can see what Dumbledore can use to train his savior, without the basilisk, even if Dumbledore is still going to train Potter, it's not dangerous It will be this big."
"So here's what you're talking about - reducing my workload? It's not reducing anything at all okay?"
"Isn't that reducing your workload?" Solim said dissatisfied, "Don't you just want some benefits? Just give you some blood at that time, don't push yourself. But since you want some other benefits, then you You have to work hard. It depends on whether you can do it or not."
"What effort?"
"Help me stare at a place..."
Solim didn't go back to Slytherin to rest that day, but turned around and started looking for a person, or rather a ghost, in the castle. A famous ghost———Bloodmanba 0
Barrow used to be a member of Hogwarts, and a student of Slytherin College. In his time, Salazar Slytherin had not left Hogwarts, that is to say, Barrow was taught by Slytherin himself, and Solim I also know a little-known thing—the reason why Voldemort was able to find the location of the secret room, Barrow played an important role in Armor.
Solim knew that if he wanted to find the Bloody Baron, it would be best to go to the Astronomy Tower at night, as there was a high probability that he would appear there. In fact, Solim himself didn't know whether Barrow would take care of him. Because as far as Solim could remember, Barrow had barely spoken to any of the Slytherin students. Even though he was in Years 2 and 3.4, and attended two opening dinners and a pre-leaving dinner, Solim had never seen Barrow speak to anyone, and when he appeared at the long table in Slytherin, he just stared blankly at him. Looking forward, he would ignore others talking to him, and of course, he would not take the initiative to talk to others.
Solim finally boarded the Astronomy Tower, but found that there was no one there. The bloody Barrow wasn't here, Solim was a little disappointed, but that's okay, just come back tomorrow.
But when Solim was going back to the Slytherin common room, he encountered Peeves. This annoying elf—yes, Peeves isn't a ghost. He is a praise, although he does not appear to have a physical body, he is still very different from a ghost, he can touch the physical body, but in Solim's view, the biggest difference between Peeves and other ghosts is that he likes to make trouble , he was always against Filch, and he also liked to doodle in the castle and play tricks on the little wizard. But Solim and Pipiguo didn't have much intersection before. .
