Chapter 100: Basilisk
The next day, Li Lin lifted the futon and yawned, and his desk became wooden again. This is normal, Li Lin doesn't care. He wasn't a magical genius in the first place, and if he had just come into contact with this kind of transfiguration, he would have been able to completely transform his desk into another state, and that should be at Hermione's level.
As agreed yesterday, Hermione was developing the members of the book club. She picks up a few unenchanted parchment scrolls from the secret library and uses Duplicate Twin and Transfiguration on them. The originals were preserved, and the reproductions were disguised as modern books. Go and share it with the Ravenclaw girls.
On the boy's side, Li Lin was in charge of the plan, but he was a little overwhelmed by his low level of communication. Trying to find an entry point to get the word out.
Li Lin recalled the second year of secondary school when he first joined Ravenclaw College, and looked at the deformation on his hand, and suddenly felt that the shallow idea at that time may not be impossible to realize.
"Hi, Mr. Robert."
In the lounge, Li Lin took the initiative to say hello, and then approached this classmate of his class. "Have you heard of Ann, Anduin?"
Anduin??? Who is he? The young wizard looked dazed, and quickly recalled in his mind that none of the famous wizards in British history had ever been matched.
"A very interesting wizard, well, not very famous in history." Li Lin said casually. Then explained. "The main thing is that I have obtained some books that he left behind, and I want to hold a reading club, Mr. Robert, are you interested?"
The young wizard agreed to participate, and was quite expectant. Book clubs are one of the more common forms of activity in Ravenclaw. It's just that in recent years, there haven't been many of them. Because of the books that everyone can get, these Ravenclaws have basically read them. And what cannot be obtained is often some family secrets, which cannot be read and shared. Therefore, the occasional reading clubs are mainly based on foreign magic books. This is too much for some Ravenclaws who are not proficient in foreign Chinese.
Invited Robert, Li Lin got up and rushed to the classroom, as classmates of the same grade and college, in the case of the second year is still a compulsory course, their courses are naturally together. So they went together.
Robert pulled Li Lin closer with great interest, and said that this was obtained from a classmate who had a good relationship with Gryffindor House.
After a few taps on a wall, the bricks on the wall shook and moved away, revealing a corridor.
Robert excitedly pulled Li Lin into the corridor. The temperature in the corridor is slightly lower than that in the corridor, which instantly gives people a cool feeling. In the middle of the corridor, the two walked forward. Robert also happily said a few words to Li Lin, which probably meant that Hogwarts was full of mystery and envy that Gryffindor was so good at playing.
"Wait." Li Lin suddenly grabbed Robert. He pricked up his ears and listened. But only a faint sound could be heard. Li Lin had an ominous premonition in his heart, and he took out the knight potion from the space bag, which tasted similar to lemon. The moment the potion is entered, it comes into play.
Li Lin's body functions were strengthened, and his ears could clearly hear the sound of giant creatures wriggling in the pipes, and the sound of scales rubbing against the pipes.
Li Lin grabbed the badge of the Werewolf Equal Rights Association hanging on Robert's chest with one hand. It's essentially a pumpkin pie thing. At the same time, he also picked up the badges in his hand, and used Transfiguration to turn them into two pairs of flat glasses. He handed one to Robert.
"Bring it on, it's a monster in the secret room."
Robert hurriedly took his glasses and put them on, he put his ear against the wall, and then reacted quickly. Robert has close friends in Gryffindor, which shows that he is also more lively in nature. So he is well aware of the recent appearance of cats that have been attacked by the "heirs" and the symptoms of people.
"Is it a basilisk?" Robert immediately had a suspicion. Basilisk's eyes have the ability to instantly die.
"But why is it so coincidental that every time the basilisk attacks, the eyes of the person who is attacked at the scene do not make direct contact with the basilisk?"
After putting on the glasses, both of them looked a little polite. "I don't know, I guess that's the power of Hogwarts." Li Lin lied casually.
He pulled Robert against the wall, wary of the attack.
Today he was looking for Robert at random, and Robert was following him along the road but encountered a basilisk. This made him have to be suspicious.
It seems that Voldemort has completely controlled Ginny, and it is very likely that this soul fragment with the most complete mind of Voldemort has already been known, and Voldemort of other soul fragments has been resurrected once. That's why there are such targeted attacks.
Li Lin quickly analyzed the situation.
But it is not excluded that Dumbledore, when he was young, he wanted to fight the world with Grindelwald. None of the basilisk attacks were fatal, and the victims were all recoverable petrification caused by indirect eye contact, was it all luck?
The basilisk was active in the pipes, and Li Lin put his hands on the wall, but it was embarrassing that there was not even water in the nearby pipes. This also made it impossible for Li Lin to snipe.
Robert was counting the time of the basilisk's existence. It seems to be because the more the basilisk sheds its skin, the stronger its magic becomes. In the end, although there is no exact number, Robert said that the snake could be called a thousand-year-old basilisk, and its outer skin alone was enough to block the evil spell cast by an adult wizard. The resistance to spells is probably even more exaggerated than that of a common fire dragon.
This made Li Lin give up the idea of using the vanishing spell to smash the wall and find the basilisk to come out and put the order. After all, this place is narrow, and he can't come face-to-face with a bomb from the basilisk.
Robert was a little nervous, his ears were pressed against the wall almost all the time, and he didn't leave. He could hear strange voices getting closer. Also as a wizard, he could feel discomfort.
The basilisk didn't spot them, maybe they were looking. So Li Lin took out two bottles of Fuling Elixir from the space bag.
"Come, Robert, luck changes fate, and I have dried this bottle of elixir."
The thickness is only one finger, and the height is no more than one palm, and the two of them swallowed it in one gulp.
It made sense that the elixir was forbidden to be used, and not long after drinking the elixir, Li Lin felt that he had a good chance of winning against the basilisk. He couldn't help but reach for his staff. Then he felt the brooch, and in an instant he calmed down. Quietly standing against the wall.
Ten minutes later, the enhanced hearing told Li Lin that the basilisk was still hovering nearby, but apparently, the enhanced luck made Li Lin and Robert even if they just stood against the wall, as if they had cast the magic of stealth in another world. The basilisk wandered back and forth, but still couldn't find them.
After about twenty minutes, the pipe gradually moved away. There was no more movement.
So Li Lin immediately pulled Robert and started running, and now it is Tom Riddle who is in command of the basilisk. The best student of Hogwarts in 50 years, but also the most dangerous.
Of course, Robert's physical fitness is not comparable to Li Lin, he started to run along, and then he was almost dragged away, Li Lin had to perform a transfiguration on his boots, and 4 pulleys grew out of each of the two boots on the left and right, so that Li Lin took him all the way to slide, and when passing by the stairs, he even held Robert with one hand and jumped over dozens of steps.
Robert was dumbfounded. The hands danced unconsciously.
"Wow, Lovegood, this is unbelievable!"
At this time, class was already in progress, and the movement of running naturally attracted the attention of the teacher. Professor McGonagall looked half sideways from the middle of the room with a serious expression. When she saw Li Lin, and Robert who was pulling with one hand. The expression was more serious, cold as ice.
Li Lin immediately used his skills to interrupt and block Professor McGonagall's unspoken criticism.
"Professor, we've met the monster in the Chamber of Secrets."
"It's a basilisk." Robert added.
