Chapter 472: Immortal Birds
There is no such thing as an absolutely perfect plan in this world, because a plan can never keep up with the speed of change. How could successive Hogwarts headmasters allow the dangerous creature of the basilisk to hide in the school and ignore it?
Everything is mutually reinforcing, and the most powerful creatures inevitably have natural nemesis. The basilisk's eighty-meter-long body, the hard scale armor all over the body is a natural protective weapon, and ordinary magic spells can't penetrate the thick scale armor at all, even if the 'Avada Suo' hits the basilisk, it is like tickling. Thirty centimeters of fangs and eyes that can tell the truth are the strongest attack weapons of the basilisk.
Strength, speed, defense, attack, and compared to a weak human wizard, the thick-skinned basilisk is like a rampaging tank.
If you want to hunt a basilisk, the first thing you have to deal with is the basilisk's petrified eyes, and the phoenix, a rare and magical creature, is the best nemesis to restrain the basilisk's eyes. With the ability to be reborn from the ashes, the phoenix can not be afraid of the basilisk's eyes. The Gryffindor Sword pierces the basilisk's iron-hard scale armor. This is how the headmasters of Hogwarts have come up with how to deal with the basilisk.
This is why Dumbledore, the headmaster of Hogwarts, dared to use a phoenix as his own magical creature in violation of the law that private individuals are not allowed to tamestinate rare magical creatures.
Known as the greatest white wizard of the century, Dumbledore took over as Headmaster of Hogwarts, although he knew the location of the Chamber of Secrets, but this Chamber of Secrets was owned by Salazar, one of the founders of Hogwarts. Slytherin had set up magical defenses, and since only the Parseltongue could open the door to the Chamber of Secrets, Dumbledore couldn't open it either.
In Dumbledore's mind, Harry. Potter, a brave child with a twisted fate, only has the Sword of Gryffindor and the help of Fawkes. Kill the basilisk to create a legend. This would not only leave a legend for the boy who would not die, but also make Harry . Potter grew up in battle, and his plan to get the best of both worlds ran into Li She, an outlier who did not enter the Three Realms and Six Realms.
Carrying an unconscious Ginny. Weasley, Harry. Potter staggered out of the chamber. He also carries the famous Gryffindor sword of Hogwarts, a symbol of Gryffindor's courage.
As soon as he stepped out of the door of the secret room, Harry was densely packed with students outside. Potter was startled. Under Dumbledore's arrangement, naturally he would not let this go to Harry. Potter's chance to make a name for himself. The ceremony to greet the heroIt's Harry. Potter deserves the treatment he deserves after hunting the basilisk.
Ron. Weasley meeting Harry. After Potter came out with his sister on his back, he hurriedly helped Harry to stumble. Heartily said, "Thank you, Harry!" ”
The sparse applause gradually boiled. Gryffindor students, in particular, regardless of their grade, have a heartfelt affection for Harry. Potter, the brave junior, gave a round of applause.
"Potter"
"Potter"
"Potter"
Except for the Slytherin students, the other three houses all let out cheers one after another, and the cold-faced Snape's cold eyes softened a little when he saw Harry return safe and sound, after all, this was Lily's only bloodline. Those eyes that were exactly the same as Lily reminded Snape of the woman he had always loved, but the tenderness in his eyes flashed. Porter and James. Potter's face was eight points similar, and disgust couldn't help but rise in his heart.
"Well done Harry," Dumbledore said excitedly, his soft words and tearful eyes made people think that Dumbledore, the high-ranking Headmaster of Hogwarts, was exceptionally approachable.
"Oh, Headmaster Dumbledore, actually," the stunned Harry. Potter was about to stammer an explanation, but Dumbledore didn't see his magical pet Fawkes after half a while, and he was also stunned. Hurriedly patted Harry. Potter's shoulder. "Don't worry, Hagrid has cleared his name." Something to come to my office to say. ”
At the same time. Li She had already returned to the apartment, and as soon as he came back, he explained to Wang Yuyan and the others, and he couldn't wait to enter the 'Thief Order', because this trip to Hogwarts had made enough benefits for him. Except for the Gryffindor sword. The basilisk and the phoenix Fawke, two rare magical creatures, were captured by Li She. And stole Harry. Potter's luck in hunting the basilisk.
The phoenix, known as the immortal bird, has always been a representative of bravery and fearlessness. Fawkes' ability to regenerate from the ashes makes him fearless in the face of any magical creature. For Fawkes, death was just the beginning of a new life.
At this time, the heroic and fearless Fox was like a frightened quail. Trembling and trembling. Because the aura emanating from the 'Dao' character that towered over the heaven and earth entity in the space of the 'Thief Order' made Fox extremely afraid. This fear from the soul made Fawkes not even have the courage to spread his wings and fly. The aura of transcendence made Fawkes bow his proud head.
The dead basilisk was piled up with the corpses of other magical creatures. Covered with solid muscles, a white snowman stronger than a chimpanzee, a dragon of various colors, and a white unicorn, this eighty-meter-long basilisk lies next to these mountains of corpses.
There was a fluctuation in the entire spatial void, and Li She, who had taken off his mask, appeared in the space of the 'Thief Order'. The momentum of the 'fire ray' was unscrupulously released from the body. With the reflection of yin qi, the point of vitality representing Fox appeared in Li She's mind, and there was a trace of inconspicuous fluorescence in the fiery red point of vitality.
In the world of "Fengyun", he has seen a divine beast such as the fire unicorn that has opened his wisdom and is strong, and now he sees the phoenix in the world of "Harry Potter", Li She couldn't help but wonder for a while. Both the basilisk and this phoenix have simple intelligence, but they are just powerful magical creatures, and they didn't almost kill themselves like the fire unicorn. The figure flashed, and instantly appeared next to the trembling Fawkes, holding the neck with one hand, and lifting the phoenix, which was larger than the turkey.
"Immortal birds? I wonder if you can still survive without losing your blood? A shallow smile appeared at the corner of Li She's mouth, and pitch-black nails appeared on his fingertips, comparable to the nails of any sharp blade, with a metallic luster, like killing chickens. With a slight slash towards Fawkes' neck, the blood gushing out of the wound with a hot breath. Li She sucked the fiery phoenix blood regardless of how the fluttering Fawkes struggled.
'Woo-woo' Fox couldn't stop wailing as the blood continued to drain.
Zombies and droughts are the most evil creatures in the world, and yin qi imprisons the soul. In this extreme way, eternal life is created, and the near-eternal body is created. But the phoenix in the world of "Harry Potter" is known as the bravest and most righteous magical creature, with a scorching breath in its blood, which is the root of the phoenix's rebirth from the ashes. Generally speaking, as long as Fawkes encounters an attack that exceeds the tolerance level, it will turn into a flame and be reborn, for which Li She has already thought of a coping strategy, which will damage Fawkes. Keep his capacity under control. This will prevent the Fawkes from being reborn. 'Woo woo' As the blood continued to drain, the fluttering Fawkes was no longer moving. The scorching blood slid through his throat, and the scorching flame turned into a red flame, and the burning sensation of the fire instantly spread throughout Li She's body, and the yin pole gave birth to yang, and the 'Nine Shadows Fire' that was born was like finding an opponent. The flames surrounding this phoenix engulfed.
Li She could feel that as the 'Nine Shades of Fire' continued to devour the scorching flames in the phoenix's blood, the 'Nine Shades of Fire' continued to grow, and the dead silence of the 'Nine Shadows Fire' gradually carried the vigorous vitality of the phoenix's rebirth.
Unlike Li She, who comfortably devoured Fawkes's blood. Dumbledore, known as the greatest white wizard of the century, had his emaciated cheeks distorted. Harry. Potter's words made Dumbledore even feel that everything was being calculated by the mysterious leader of the 'Dragon Thieves Pack'.
"No wand-casting? Harry, are you sure Tom said that? Dumbledore asked, frowning.
Harry. Potter nodded. Said firmly, "Yes, Headmaster Dumbledore! That's what Voldemort said: "I already know Tom. Riddle was the Voldemort of his youth, Harry. Potter was even more outspoken in calling his father's killer by name, for Harry, who was born in the Muggle world. Potter was not afraid of Voldemort, a name that could not even be mentioned, as many children in the wizarding world were.
Hearing is false, seeing is believing. In the wizarding world. The best way for a wizard as powerful as Dumbledore to tell if the leader of the 'Dragon Thieves' really has mastered the powerful power of 'no wand casting' that was lost in the Middle Ages, is to take Harry. What Potter saw was all reproduced.
"Harry, relax, don't hold back, now I'm going to extract your memories from the Chamber of Secrets!" As he spoke, Dumbledore led a shallow stone basin beside him. The quaint stone basin seems to have been carved with the most rudimentary tools, and the edge of the stone basin is carved with jerky and difficult scripts. The extension of the stone basin is depicted in the shape of a human face. The basin is filled with a fluorescent blue liquid.
Ignorant Harry. Potter looked at the quaint artifact and didn't know what it was for. Dumbledore began to explain, "The human brain is like a diary, if there are too many things, the brain will be dull, so I put some important memories or things into this meditation basin, and after the memories are stored in it, there will be more space in the brain, and if I want to use those memories stored in the meditation basin, just look at the meditation basin."
Harry. When Potter heard Dumbledore's words, he looked at the rough stone basin in amazement, and couldn't help but touch it with his hand, and the blue liquid in the meditation basin rippled.
"Are you ready?" Dumbledore asked softly.
"Well, I'm ready......" Harry. Potter nodded. For Dumbledore, the kind one, Harry. Potter had no defensiveness in his mind.
I saw Dumbledore take out his bamboo-like wood, which was not made into an Elder's wand, and headed it towards Harry. Potter's temples were a little, and "Dementor" As Dumbledore whispered, a white light emitted from the tip of his wand, as if there was a suction. A silver thread was drawn from Potter's temple. Dumbledore carefully placed the thread into the meditation basin. After the blue liquid melted into the silver thread, it suddenly turned up a series of ripples, and when the ripples calmed down, the blue liquid was like a mirror, and the picture in the secret room reappeared in front of Dumbledore. Harry. Potter leaned over as well, looking at the picture inside the meditation basin in amazement, and could even hear a cacophony of sounds.
I have to say. Different civilizations have developed different crystallization of wisdom. Similar to the surveillance television of the Muggle world, it can reproduce sound perfectly, and has the magic prop of the Meditation Bowl, which allows Dumbledore to snoop on other people's privacy whenever he wants.
Because this memory was made through Harry. What Potter saw with his eyes was recorded. And at that time Harry. Potter is being chased up and down by the basilisk. Therefore, the whole picture is inevitably a little flustered at the beginning, which also confirms that Harry. Potter's nervous heart at the time.
Tom's phantom hovered over the spread out journal, and Ginny. Weasley, the girl who had been kidnapped by the basilisk, passed out and fell to the ground. Tom's poisonous tongue kung fu is in full swing. After that, Li She suddenly appeared, but the old-eyed Dumbledore still saw a trace of imperceptible fluctuations. Through Harry's memory, Dumbledore saw the entire space ripple like a viscous liquid, and Dumbledore frowned and muttered to himself, "What kind of magic is this?" How did he get into the Chamber of Secrets? There was no Floo Net, just a trace of imperceptible fluctuations rippled in the entire space, and Li She suddenly appeared in the secret room. Dumbledore couldn't figure this out. Then Tom tries to distract the blood-red masked leader of the Dragons. Harry. Potter was only staring at Tom and the two talking, not the basilisk rising from the rubble.
However, the arrogant leader of the 'Dragon Thieves' disdained Tom's invitation, much to Dumbledore's surprise. The basilisk in his back pounced, and the leader of the 'Dragon Thieves Regiment', dressed in a black cloak, turned around and punched, with a faint blue flame, and smashed it on the huge head of the basilisk. After reading Harry's memories of being in the Chamber of Secrets, Dumbledore frowned. Brushing this white beard, questions came to my heart.
"Such a strange speed. Even if the phantom migrates, it can't beat the basilisk with one punch? It is impossible that the blue flame on the fist is the key to killing the basilisk, and without using a wand, he can release enough fire to kill the basilisk with his flesh alone, it seems that he really understands the ancient spell of 'casting spells without a wand'," Dumbledore muttered to himself.
"Then why did he take that evil diary?" For Harry. Potter said. The main concern is his own enemy, Lord Voldemort. Li She's actions undoubtedly made Harry. Potter wondered if the head of the mysterious 'Dragon Thieves' had anything to do with Voldemort.
Dumbledore shook his head, in the dark forest, Hagrid had said that the sudden appearance of the leader of the 'Dragon Thieves' seemed to be trying to intercept Tom, who was possessed by Quirrell. In addition, through the picture in the meditation basin, the tone of the 'Dragon Thieves' leader's conversation with Tom, although the mask covered his face, he could feel the disdain of Tom from the 'Dragon Thieves' leader.
"There should be no relationship between the two of them, maybe this is another evil wizard who wants to dominate the wizarding world. If you want to dominate the wizarding world, the best way is to trample the former kings under your feet to prove your strength. Tom may be a stepping stone in his eyes," Dumbledore said.
As for the process of the 'Thief Order' ingesting Fawkes, Dumbledore thought it was just a magical prop.
One was originally intended for Harry. Potter, the savior's fame, became unrecognizable under the stirring of Li She. Didn't take the Gryffindor sword, though. However, Dumbledore's old companion Fox was snatched away by Leesher. Fox, who has been with him for many years, was taken away by the other party, and Dumbledore can be said to have suffered a big loss.
"This gang of robbers!! Alas, I don't know what Fox will do if it falls into their hands!! Although Dumbledore didn't want to think about the worst, he seemed to feel that his old companion who could be hurt and reborn from the fire had already suffered an accident. The reason why the petite phoenix was able to occupy a place among the many ancient magical creatures with a large body was mainly because of Fawkes's ability to be reborn from the fire, which made him have the combat power to be worthy of the dragon. Facing an opponent who can't be killed, any magical creature will feel a headache.
Harry. Potter looked at Dumbledore's sad face due to the unknown fate of Fawkes, and couldn't help but comfort: "Fawkes, isn't he able to be hurt and be reborn?" Didn't you say that even when you meet a dragon, Fawkes is not afraid? I'm sure Fox will get out."
"This gang of robbers has hunted a hundred and thirteen dragons, and even if Fawkes has the ability to regenerate from the ashes, it has fallen into the hands of this gang of bandits," Dumbledore said, waving his hand.
The record of the 'Dragon Thieves', Harry, who has lived at Hogwarts for more than a year. Potter already knew about it through the propaganda on "Singing the Opposite". I couldn't help but worry about Fawkes's brave phoenix, and I thought that this phoenix had sent the Sword of Gryffindor to me. Harry. Potter couldn't help but blame himself. Stubborn and kind character, so Harry. Potter was disgusted by the thieves who wantonly slaughtered magical creatures. "Don't worry, Headmaster, one day I'll avenge Fawkes"
"No, that gang of thieves is not what you can face now, our main enemy is Tom, I hope this gang of thieves is really coming for magical creatures, otherwise they will join forces with the Death Eaters, and it is estimated that the entire wizarding world will not be spared," Dumbledore hurriedly advised. Worried about Harry. Potter, the boy who never died, was really going to find the 'Dragon Thieves', and it would be troublesome. Harry. The reason why Potter was not killed by Voldemort was because Lily used her life to inspire the ancient Patronus Charm. After rebounding Voldemort's attack, Dumbledore, knowing the existence of the Horcrux, guessed that Voldemort's body was torn apart. The seventh Horcrux may have been created by accident, and it is for this reason that Harry has the talent of Parseltongue.
"You go back to rest first, don't talk to anyone else, I'll take care of the rest," Dumbledore said, patting Harry on the shoulder.
With Harry. With Potter's departure, Dumbledore found McGonagall and Snape, McGonagall was Dumbledore's supporter, and Snape was most concerned about Harry's safety because of Lily's relationship, although Snape was once a Death Eater. But the fact that Lily died at Voldemort's hands had pushed Snape to the opposite side of Voldemort.
When Snape and McGonagall looked at the meditation basin, Harry's memories in the secret room, the two also frowned, and for the first time intuitively saw the strength of the leader of the 'Dragon Thieves Regiment', they couldn't help but make Snape and McGonagall, the two top wizards, feel a burst of fear. How should you face a strong man who can cast a 'magic wand cast'?
"Did he really master the 'wandless spellcasting'? This spell was lost in the Middle Ages. If that's the case, the leader of this 'Dragon Thieves Band' will be even more terrifying than the Dark Lord..."After looking at the picture in the meditation basin, Mike said with a frown.
Snape, whose face was cold, also nodded, even if he faced the basilisk, he could only escape, after all, it was a hard scale armor. Even the 'Avada Kill' hit on it couldn't hurt a bit. And the development of magic to the present, the ancient curse has been lost, and 'Avada Suo' has become the most ruthless killing weapon. But compared to the spells unleashed by medieval wizards, it is even more vulnerable. In the Middle Ages, wizards were key players who could change a battle. The power to destroy the world. It is said to be able to summon meteorites from the sky.
"That blue flame can kill the basilisk in an instant, and this kind of strength seems to be really the power that can only be achieved by 'wandless spellcasting'," Snape said lightly.
"Let's keep this matter a secret" Dumbledore could only make a reluctant choice, if this matter was exposed, it would be an earth-shattering shock for the entire wizarding world. The ancient 'No Wand Spellcaster' powerhouse has reappeared, not to mention the two billion gold Galleons bounty from the Ministry of Magic of various countries, and there will definitely be many people who will voluntarily join the 'Dragon Thieves' at that time. And such a result is naturally what Dumbledore does not want to see, why can there be so many Death Eaters? Isn't it true that the Dark Lord has shown great strength, and many wizards with evil intentions have voluntarily joined him to form a force that even the British Ministry of Magic is afraid of? (To be continued......)
