Chapter 192 The Dead Predecessors

No one was spared... Sean rubbed the paper with some toothache.

Well now, a special case has appeared...

There is a special note at the back of this line. The basilisk itself is immune to its own gaze, and the same is true for others of the same kind. However, basilisks are not immune to the venom of their own kind, they are only immune to the venom of their own snakes. Although it has poison resistance that other creatures do not have, the venom of one basilisk can still poison another. If the amount of venom is large enough, it can even kill the other.

He turned his head and looked at the basilisk. The huge emerald green body was sweeping the ground. Blood was still oozing from the wounds bitten by Dave, but many places had begun to heal. The scales slowly adhered back to the skin.

What a strong recovery power... Sean felt that if he had been in a coma for another week, the injuries on the basilisk would have almost healed.

Slytherin spent a lot of time in the following records recording his experiments in trying to let the basilisk reproduce naturally.

However, Sean's expression turned strange after just reading one paragraph.

Perhaps due to the limitations of the times, the method used by Slytherin was simple and crude - the wizard directly gave the male and female basilisks a huge dose of love potion...

The fact is positive, although they are magical creatures, they still have the organs of normal creatures... Slytherin even described in detail the scene of basilisk mating...

Although watching two fifty-foot-long giant pythons mating is quite harsh, even Sean has to admit that Slytherin is actually a research scholar who is obsessed with experimentation. This spirit is still worthy of recognition. .

However, although the experiment was unsuccessful, Slytherin did not come to a firm conclusion.

"The experiment was unsuccessful. Although seven pairs of basilisks were mated, I did not get a single baby basilisk - however, I obtained a basilisk egg. This egg was the same as the male egg normally used to hatch basilisks. Totally different, both in size and color.”

"I tried to incubate the egg with a toad, but failed, and its basilisk parents hatched it under my Parseltongue command, but still failed."

"Since both parents are unable to hatch, I can only think that this egg is a failure. However, I think the natural reproduction of basilisks is feasible. Unfortunately, I don't know how to proceed. "

"I originally wanted to make this basilisk egg into a boiled egg to taste the taste, but considering that this is the first egg laid by a female basilisk in the world, I finally gave up on this idea - wait a minute Take one. If the next one doesn’t work, I’ll try it. Maybe I can discover the raw materials for some new potion.”

The corner of Sean's mouth twitched. Slytherin's idea was really special...

However, Slytherin's idea was not implemented, and his experimental records were interrupted here. Sean estimated that that might be the time when the dispute broke out among the Big Four at Hogwarts. Slytherin left Hogwarts, and the experiments here were naturally interrupted.

In the last part, Slytherin mentioned the records of communication with the basilisk.

"My bloodline has given me the gift of Parselmouth. However, what disappoints me is that the intelligence of Basilisks is almost the same as that of ordinary snakes - their IQs are not even comparable to those of fellow magical creatures. Rune snake."

"If there was no Parselmouth, I have no doubt that those guys would eat me directly, even if they were raised by me."

Um? Sean frowned, the description didn't fit his experience. He only learned a few words of Parselmouth and was completely unable to control the basilisk. However, the basilisk in the stone chamber did not attack him after the initial accident, and was even able to communicate peacefully with Dave who bit it.

Moreover, it showed a very good level of intelligence and even knew that Sean was not dead and could save him through something.

Strange guy...

"My descendants, I think I need to describe to you how Parseltongue works. As the most glorious gift, Parseltongue is essentially a kind of language magic. This kind of magic does not require spells or magic. As long as you can speak Parseltongue, magic will work automatically.”

"Parseltongue can convey the wizard's thoughts to snakes, and then transform the snake's response into a way we can understand. At the same time, Parseltongue is also a separate language, and two Parseltongues can be used to communicate with each other. This language is conversational.”

The following sentence seems to have been written by Slytherin after a long time. His handwriting is very sloppy and he seems to have been greatly stimulated - Slytherin is obviously a wizard and can use magic to remove the writing, but the second sentence One line of words was directly blacked out.

Under the blackened writing, Slytherin wrote with force: "Remember! My descendants! Don't show your Parseltongue in front of other wizards!"

Sean raised his eyebrows. He could probably guess why Slytherin was so excited.

Presumably, he discovered that Parseltongue can actually be learned.

Sean clearly remembered that in the original plot, Ron just listened to Harry talking too much in his sleep and successfully imitated hissing to open the entrance to the secret room.

This proves that my previous judgment was wrong. Parseltongue does not rely on blood. It is a language that wizards can learn. However, due to the difficulty of learning and the arrogant and irritable character and bad reputation of the Gaunt family, other wizards have no chance to learn this thing. Moreover, wizards all think that this is an innate talent and rarely appear. The idea of ​​learning Parseltongue.

Slytherin probably discovered this, and he might not be able to accept it because of his pretentiousness... Just think about it, you originally thought that your unique noble blood brought you talents that made you different from others, but the fact is, This talent can be copied and learned by those with dirty blood.

As an extreme purist, Slytherin must have been greatly stimulated.

However, Slytherin's mental journey was beyond Sean's concern. He put away the parchment and continued to sweep the stone chamber.

After receiving another self-written experience of Slytherin's Curse, Sean discovered a special place.

Under the stone wall in the corner, there is a slightly raised stone brick with a small snake hissing and spitting out messages engraved on it.

This is probably the treasure that Gormlaith said requires Parseltongue to obtain.

Sean, who was worried that something might happen again, was smarter this time. He retreated directly into the corridor to make sure that he wouldn't make eye contact with anything again, and then cast Loud Voice on himself.

"Open it. The descendant of glory has arrived. Please grant me your so powerful secret." He hissed loudly.

Then, Sean immediately tightened his grip on the wand and phoenix tail, preparing to run away if something went wrong.

However, no accidents happened this time, and Dave sent a signal that everything was safe.

Sean breathed a sigh of relief and walked over. The original stone brick had disappeared, the stone wall caved in, and a small room of four to five square meters appeared in front of him.

Then, Sean saw three bones leaning against the wall next to a tall box.

Those white bones seemed to have existed for a long time, and the clothes on their bodies had long turned into rags whose appearance was unclear.

Is this what Slytherin left behind? After using magic spells from a distance and using Obscurus to explore, Sean did not find any black magic in the cubicle.

He even took out the high-precision speculum he got in the lottery. It looked like a top made of crystal, but it was not spinning at the moment.

Sean, relieved, then checked the compartment.

The three white bones were close together, and their bodies took on an unnatural posture. It was unclear whether they were corroded to this point or were just like this when they were alive.

Among them, the least corroded white skeleton had a thick notebook underneath, and a crystal bottle lying on it. There was something like silver wadding floating back and forth in the bottle.

This thing looks like a memory...

Sean picked up the notebook and blew away the dust. The magic was cast on it. Apart from the dust, the notebook itself was not damaged in any way.

This is a relatively commonly used preservation spell, and is generally used to preserve various books and materials.

Sean, who couldn't figure out the origin of the notebook, turned to the first page, only to find that there were traces of the confusion spell on it. However, the confusion spell is different from the preservation spell. The preservation spell only inputs a powerful enough magic power once, and the spell can last for a very long time. With the confusion spell, if the caster dies, the spell will become invalid.

However, just by looking at the magic traces on it, one can tell that the caster was very powerful during his lifetime, at least very powerful in the confusion spell.

The first page reads: "My name is Alais Lockhart. I was born in 1583. I graduated from Ravenclaw House at Hogwarts. This is my return to the castle after many years. For the sake of Letlin's treasure comes. I write this to always remind myself of who I am. I am reading the diary, remember my identity, and don't get confused."

Is this man also called Lockhart? I don’t know if it has anything to do with my idiot Defense Against the Dark Arts professor... However, the person who lived in 1583 was more than three hundred years ago.

Sean looked strange as he continued reading.

This Alais Lockhart is a complete genius! It seems to be his talent. He is extremely proficient in memory-related magic. Whether it is a forgetting spell or a memory fabrication spell, it is a piece of cake for Alais.

After discovering this talent, this man never returned to playing with memories. He even stole the memory of someone in the Gaunt family and learned Parseltongue!

At the same time, he also learned information about the Chamber of Secrets and learned that Slytherin still had treasures left in the castle.

Alais disguised himself as a student and returned to Hogwarts for the treasure.

The reason why he wrote those words in his notes was because he had manipulated too many memories, which caused problems with his own memory. He often suffered from self-cognition disorders and regarded himself as someone whose memories he had stolen. people.

The corner of Sean's mouth twitched, this guy is really a talent...
