Chapter 113
Compared to the overall low pressure at Hogwarts, Gale's mood has been very good lately. The reason for this is that Gale has recently discovered that his special language talent has been strengthened a little bit.
Before, I only vaguely heard the "inner words" of some magical creatures. But now, he was able to concentrate and hear the "words" of some of the non-human creatures clearly.
Yes, it's "words". Although some of these creatures are not able to express themselves clearly at all, at most they can point out to each other where there is danger and where there is food, but just by speaking, Gail can understand the meaning, which is also a big bonus, isn't it?
Given the eerie calm and serenity of Hogwarts in recent times, Gale has been given another ability, and he feels that it is time to deal with the basilisk that threatens the internal security of Hogwarts at all times.
"Gail, you can only understand, but you can't speak its language." Severus said seriously, stopping the hand that was holding the small silver knife to cut the potion materials, "Let's go find Salazar!" ”
"If you don't say I'll go!" Gail waved the aconitum in his hand and made an exaggerated motion that made Severus frown.
"Put it down! Go wash your hands! Severus felt that Gale was really going back more and more, and he was obviously going to eat, but he still touched the aconitum with his hand, and he was not afraid of being poisoned?
In fact, Gail is really not afraid of being poisoned. After Gael entered the realm of the Great Perfection of the Attainment, his body became strong to a certain extent. Unless it's a potion made from something that has been specially processed, there are very few pure natural herbs that can affect Gael's body.
It's just a little aconite, Gale just eats a pound or two, and it is estimated that his only feeling is just a little supportive. In light of this change, sometimes Gale can't help but peuvelle his cheeks and think carefully about whether he is still considered a "human" at the moment. No matter how hard Gael struggles, the most important thing at the moment is to go to the Central Hall and discuss with Salazar about the disposal of the basilisk!
Although Gale was no longer afraid of aconitum poison, this did not prevent him from enjoying Severus's care for him. Yes, just enjoy. The things that used to be unclear and ordinary became clear when Gale removed the leaves that blindfolded him.
He grinned, not afraid of the sternness in Severus's tone, but happily rubbed to Severus's side, and coquettishly said to Severus in a somewhat angry voice that he had never used before: "I don't want to wash my hands, why don't you feed me?" ”
Severus frowned, a little confused, what was wrong with Gail, why he was speaking to himself in such a voice that was only a little girl with her head stuffed with useless adolescent fantasies?
However, unlike the feeling of being accosted by a few of these classmates before and only wanting to sprinkle Babo tubers on the heads of that group, Severus didn't even find Gail's voice annoying reads.
In fact, Severus even thought it was cute to be on his toes on the ground. The same action, but it was completely different from the previous disgust that caused goosebumps to rise.
Severus was silent for a moment, pushed away the medicine table in his hand, stepped aside and repeatedly cleaned his hands with potions, and then picked up a butter biscuit and stuffed it into Gail's mouth.
Although Severus's movements were not gentle at all, and his face was always furrowed without any superfluous expression, Gale still had a smile in his heart.
Severus made the act of feeding Gale almost as a rigorous science. It's not the same as when you eat in the lobby! You know, to eat in the hall, just urge Gael, a meatless carnivore, to eat enough vegetables for each meal.
But now, Severus and Gale stood face to face in front of the marble potions table, less than thirty centimeters from each other. And every time Severus fed Gale the biscuits, he could feel Gail's breath spray on his hands. It made him a little uncomfortable!
As the last cookie was about to enter Gail's mouth, Severus felt an almost sense of relief. He felt that the warm, slightly damp touch of his hand because of Gail's snort made him feel very irritable.
Gail naturally noticed this. He swallowed the last cookie with a "whoosh" and licked Severus's fingers with his tongue. After that, he threw down the stiff Severus, shook his head and said, "I'm going back to the dormitory," and ran away.
Well, actually, he was a little embarrassed to come. Severus wasn't alone. If Severus had looked back, he would have seen that Gail's departure was a bit of a deserted escape, and ...... The same hand and the same foot, that is, we say the same crutch.
A few hours later, once again, Salazar and Godric returned to the portrait of the Central Hall. What an effort! Since the opening of the Founder's Manor, Salazar and Godric have rarely been in the portraits of the Central Hall.
Gail sometimes can't help but wonder, can the characters in the portrait also do things that shame their faces? It's so weird! However, the question only interfered with his thinking for a second, and then Gail left it behind - the private lives of YY and these two people are not what good children should do!
"Oh! Oh! Are you finally going to get rid of that long worm? That's pretty good! Godric feared that the world would not be in chaos. In fact, several founders were very dissatisfied with the snake that actually killed the student, but the expression was different. Godric's way of expressing it is to call the basilisk a "long worm".
"Actually, I don't know how to solve it." Gail spread his hands and said, "You know, the birth of a basilisk is not easy. It takes seven years for a rooster to lay eggs, and it has to be hatched □□ leprosy. In a sense, the basilisk is also a rare animal! And maybe it's the only basilisk in the world! ”
Such uniqueness is almost comparable to that of giant pandas! If only the animals in the chamber were giant pandas, Gail thought crookedly. If it was a giant panda, Myrtle wouldn't have died. And -- how cute! He's definitely going to stay and raise it himself!
"As far as I know, this basilisk must be nearly a thousand years old. In fact, our school has only existed for more than a thousand years. For thousands of years, only one student was killed when he was awakened by the fool who divided his soul. I don't think the basilisk was to blame, but the idiot. Rowena's expression was particularly calm. Although she was also heartbroken about the death of her student, the more sober the analysis became.
Salazar nodded in agreement, "Yes." A basilisk is a knife and a murder weapon. Reasonable people will not ignore the murderer, but will be angry at a murder weapon! ”
Godric stopped talking, the expression on his face was bitter, and he was a little aggrieved to hide in the curtain of his portrait: he didn't say that Voldemort was not a murderer! Thrall just hated himself for always letting the winged lion and griffin eat the snake! Obviously, it was the basilisk who killed the student first! Saar's eccentricity!
Salazar wasn't partial, he was just a little dissatisfied with Godric's use of worms and worms. You know, even though his blood descendant is an idiot now, it has nothing to do with him! He's a Slytherin, proud of his bloodline and magical talents! Well, it's been a thing that has been tangled up for more than a thousand years. He had known what Godric was like, and he knew that he had no ill will at all. However, it is a rare opportunity to hit Godric, and this cannot be missed. Salazar tilted his head to glance in the direction of Godric's portrait, the corners of his mouth curled slightly.
Hey, hey! We're talking about serious things! Please don't do this kind of show of affection and dog abuse! Gale looked at the pair of thousand-year-old old husband and wife who could use such a strict thing to play with a spear, and felt that his eyes were blinded.
"You came to Salazar, did you already think of a way to solve it?" Helga couldn't look at it, and turned the topic back to a little crooked.
"Yes, I can use the Gramophon Stone and get Salazar to speak some Parseltongue. In this way, I am not afraid that it will hurt me with my eyes closed! Considering its rarity, I decided to bring it over and let Salazar talk to the basilisk directly, so as not to miss any details. ”
“…… Detail. Rowena repeated Gail's somewhat meaningful words and nodded, "That's good. There's nothing wrong with knowing a little bit more. ”
"So I'm a translator?" Salazar asked, raising an eyebrow.
"No!" Gale categorically dismissed Salazar's question, "You're not a translator!" You are the judge! Well, it's still the jury - what you do with the basilisk is up to you. After all, it's pretty much an internal affair in your family, right? "Gail doesn't want to take on such a hot potato as the basilisk. Although the basilisk is a rare and rare magical creature with high medicinal value, it is also very dangerous, just like a regular bomb or bomb! Gail is not a parseltongue, and he is not confident that he can tame such a monster-fighting beast with a thousand years of magic accumulation!
Salazar, who saw through Gail's careful thinking, looked at Gale with a smile for a while, until Gale could barely hold back the sincere expression on his face before nodding slightly in agreement: "Then leave it to me." "Anyway, maybe you'll have to take over in the end.
Severus was very resistant to entering the girls' bathroom in the middle of the night, but he didn't feel comfortable with Gale alone to face the legendary creatures. Therefore, Severus, who had no principles in the face of Gail, entered the girls' bathroom with Gale in the middle of the night.
The bathroom with no one in the middle of the night still has a bit of a horror atmosphere, and Gail feels that his "well-informed" people feel hairy, and Severus should feel the same way.
Unfortunately, on the contrary, Severus was not at all afraid. Hell, every day in Hogwarts, where can there be so many sensitive nerves like Gail's to care about the horror of an empty bathroom? It's the middle of the night, and it's a scary thing if it's full of talents! A full bathroom full of students will definitely recruit a teacher who patrols the night!
"Gail, try to be as quick as possible, we'd better settle this matter before Myrtle returns." Otherwise, who knows if Myrtle will be babbling gibberish everywhere? Severus patted Gail's shoulder soothingly, feeling that Gail's body was no longer so stiff, and he was in a slightly better mood.
