The Emerald at Hogwarts

Chapter 241 New Discoveries

There is a saying that hard work pays off, and there is a saying that God helps those who help themselves.When Ada pushed aside the veil covering her eyes, the truth gradually surfaced.

Ada has been swimming in the sea of ​​monsters for a long time, and just when she was about to be drowned in words, she finally determined what the monster in the secret room was—a basilisk was hidden in the secret room.

There are many terrifying beasts and monsters roaming the wizarding world, the most bizarre and deadly of which is the Basilisk, also known as the Snake King.

The snake, which can grow to be quite large and often live for hundreds of years, is hatched from an egg by a toad (so who is the father and who is the mother?).

The Basilisk kills in an astonishing way, as its deadly stare can kill as well as its deadly fangs.

Anyone caught by its gaze is instantly killed.The spider will run away when it sees the basilisk, because the basilisk is the deadly enemy of the spider, and the basilisk will run away if it hears the crowing of the rooster, because the crowing of the rooster is also fatal to it.

This is the introduction that Ada found in an inconspicuous old book in the library. This man-made magical creature fits all the clues known so far.

The descendants of Aragog, as well as Lee Jordan's marsupial spider, they all tried their best to escape from the castle because of the basilisk.These spiders may not have seen the basilisk, but their perception of danger is far better than that of humans. Once the basilisk moves, the spiders will quickly perceive it.

In order not to become a snack for the basilisk, the spiders had to flee the castle and hide where the basilisk could not find them.

All things generate and restrain each other, where poisonous snakes haunt, there must be antidote within seven steps.It doesn't mean that there must be an antidote within seven steps, but that within the range of activities of the poisonous snake, there must be something that restrains the snake's venom.

Of course, this sentence is useless in today's society, because of the destruction of the ecology by humans, coupled with the biological invasion of alien species, the ecological balance has long been lost.

The basilisk is not invincible, the rooster it fears is its natural enemy.That's why the roosters raised in the school died one by one.I used to think that the animals in the Forbidden Forest killed the school rooster, but now I think it was the heir of Slytherin who did it.

In order to protect the basilisk's activities and prevent it from being harmed by the crowing of the rooster, the heir of Slytherin killed the cock that threatened the basilisk.

Basilisk, as the name suggests, belongs to the category of snakes, which is why only Harry can hear those voices.

Because in other people's ears, the basilisk's voice was just hissing and exhaling, and it was impossible to distinguish what it was, let alone hear the killing intent like Harry did.

Newt Scamander, who was far away in Dorset, also wrote back to Ida, and he introduced some habits of the basilisk to Ada in detail.

According to him, the basilisk, a magical creature, has a natural lifespan of more than 900 years and can grow up to 50 feet long (more than 15 meters). After being raised, a "pet" can be sent away for several generations.

But the basilisk only obeys the orders of the Parselmouth, and other people cannot tame and tame the basilisk, and hatching the basilisk is also expressly prohibited.Parseltongue can put the basilisk into a deep sleep, thereby preventing it from continuing to grow, and entering a state similar to suspended animation.

As she continued to read the letter, Ada's heart became colder and colder, because the basilisk seemed to have only one weakness, the rooster.The surface of the basilisk's skin is covered with scales, which can deflect spells and cannot be harmed by magic.

Its big yellow Kazilan eyes can kill anyone in an instant, as long as you make direct contact with its eyes, you can say goodbye to this rotten world.Indirect eye contact with the basilisk, such as reflection, only petrifies.

Like Colin Creevey and Justin Finlayry, they both had indirect eye contact with the basilisk, so they didn't lose their lives, they were just petrified, and when the mandrake matured, they could recover.

Ada put down Mr. Scamander's reply letter, and took off her gold-rimmed glasses. She thought that this pair of glasses would be her life-saving clothing, and it was the kindness of the system to her, but this letter broke this situation. fantasy.

Glasses are not water, nor are they cameras. Seeing the basilisk through them should be the same as looking directly at the basilisk. If there is no difference, it means that you may die.Ada gently squeezed her Jingming acupoint, she felt her head was buzzing, very messy.

How does this Nima play?Basilisk is obviously a krypton gold player!High attack and magic immunity, even hanging on the wall can't beat it!Could it be that he had to close his eyes and take the rooster to fight the basilisk with all his might?
At the end of the letter, Newt Scamander added a sentence, he said: There has been no sight of a basilisk in the British Isles for at least 400 years.

After reading this innocuous words, Ada became furious. She wanted to Apparate to Dorset immediately, grab Mr. Scamander by the neck, and drag him to Hogwarts. Ci came, and then asked him: What is this Nima not a basilisk?The promised 400 years haven't seen it?How did this wave of people catch up with us?Deserving of bad luck?
The weak and helpless Ada sighed, and put the gold-rimmed glasses back on. No matter whether the glasses can save her life or not, the system's mission must be completed.

Now that she has figured out the monsters in the secret room, as long as she finds the entrance of the secret room, she will complete the task issued by the system.

As for the dangerous matter of dealing with the basilisk, it is better to leave it to Dumbledore. Don't make do with me, who has thin arms and legs. She is not Lockhart, and she has no plans to publish a book.

After leaving the library, Ada met the twins who came to her.Through the unremitting efforts of the two brothers, the two of them finally found Lixiao's new activity place.

Fred, who was walking in front, said: "This is really a surprise. None of us thought that there is such a magical place hidden in the school! It has everything you want!"

George continued: "A few days ago, we wondered why there was a broom room on the eighth floor of the castle. It turned out that it appeared because we needed it."

Fred and George have always been keen to explore the secrets of the castle, and this secret place that they have just discovered makes the two brothers very excited.What's more, this new place doesn't appear on the Marauder's map, and they surpassed their four Marauder predecessors in this regard.

Ada followed the twins all the way to the eighth floor, and stopped before a pair of troll sticks beat the silly Barnabas tapestry, and the twins started talking again.

"We came here once," said Fred first, "to escape the pursuit of Filch and Mrs. Norris."

"At that time, we had nowhere to go, so we walked here and there trying to find a way." George continued, "Then we found a broom room that we had never seen before."

The twins said together: "We hid in and escaped Filch's pursuit. But after that, we never found it again."

There are so many secrets hidden in Hogwarts castle, it is no surprise that there is such a room.It sounds like this is a room that only comes when you need it, and like Dumbledore said, at Hogwarts those who ask for help always get it.

After a while, Lee Jordan led the rest of his friends over, and the four girls stared blankly at the moth-eaten tapestry, a little confused.

"Fred, if you don't mind." George reached out and made a "please" gesture, and then saw Fred walking back and forth in front of the tapestry.

After Fred walked back and forth three times, a smooth wooden door suddenly appeared on the originally blank wall.This astonishing scene made Angelina, Alia, Katie, and Lini all open their mouths. Not to mention eggs, even apples could be stuffed in.

Holding the wand in her right hand and the brass handle in her left, Ada opened the door and led the way in.

There was no danger behind the door, just a spacious, ordinary room, lit with torches, like a dungeon.

There is a row of wooden bookshelves by the wall, and there are no chairs on the floor, but there are large satin cushions.On the shelf at the other end of the room are various instruments such as sight glasses and secret detectors, as well as a large demon mirror with a crack.

"Welcome to the Room of Requirement, beautiful ladies!" said the twins and Lee Jordan simultaneously.

　It's a bit cold and I have a cold. . .
