Chapter Seventy-One: Basilisk Nagini

It was late in the evening, and there were dark clouds in the dim sky.

The gray weather always makes people feel a lingering dullness and depression in their hearts, and they always feel that something bad is about to happen.

The feeling was much stronger for Harry now, and he didn't know why he was in the shoes of his perpetrator and saw Mr. Weasley being attacked.

It felt like I was hurting him.

Zhang Qiu helped Harry, who was a little physically exhausted, and walked in the direction of Hogwarts, while Luna took Lu Li to find the Floo network from Hogmoth Village to the Ministry of Magic.

Luminescent green flames burned without warning in a fireplace at the Ministry of Magic.

In the strange flames, two young figures walked out, a girl with long light blond hair and a young man with oriental appearance.

"Luna, do you know where the Department of Mysteries is?"

Lu Li's voice echoed in the spacious corridor.

At this point in time, the Ministry of Magic was already empty, and there was no one in sight.

It seems that the staff in the wizarding world are treated very well, and every wizard clocks in and out on time.

Now, there isn't even a ghost in this ghost place.

"Come with me." Luna clearly knows a lot about the Ministry of Magic.

The Department of Mysteries is arguably the most mysterious agency in the entire Ministry of Magic.

No one has ever known what the people in this department are up to, their missions are all top secret, and the wizards who work here are called the Silent Men.

These wizards discovered that there was an innate magic that existed in a form that was obviously difficult to explain, or even impossible to control, and that the Silent Man was responsible for exploring and experimenting with this mysterious unknown power.

And there is only one reason why Voldemort wants to enter the Department of Mysteries, and that is the Prophecy Sphere.

The crazy Professor Trelawney in the divination class had made the right prediction when Dumbledore interviewed her more than a decade ago.

"The man with the power to conquer the Dark Lord approached......

Born into a family that defeated the Dark Lord three times......

Born at the end of the seventh month......

The Dark Lord has labeled him as a fierce enemy, but he has an energy that the Dark Lord does not understand......

One must die at the hands of the other, because neither can both live, only one survives......

The one who has the power to conquer the Dark Lord will be born at the end of the seventh month......"

Unfortunately, Snape, who was eavesdropping at the pig's head pub at the time, was driven out by Dumbledore after only half of what he heard, and then he hurriedly reported it to Voldemort.

The prophecy Snape heard: "The man who has the power to conquer the Dark Lord has come close to being born into a family that has defeated the Dark Lord three times...... Born at the end of the seventh month. ”

This is also the root cause of Voldemort going to Godric's Hollow to kill Harry's family.

Then, Snape also became Dumbledore's double agent because of Lily's murder and resentment.

But now, through the previous encounters, Voldemort began to slowly believe in this prophecy that he had found ridiculous.

Because everything he had experienced was a testament to the madwoman's prophecy, he was eager to know the second half of the prophecy.

The Hall of Prophecy is a large, cold room, as tall as a church, filled with towering shelves.

It was filled with small gray glass balls, and the shelves below each one were labeled with small yellowed labels.

Some of the balls emit a mysterious, flowing light, others are vague and dark, like a light bulb that has gone out.

Hiss~, hiss~.

In the empty and silent room, there were a few low, hoarse roars from time to time, which were the characteristic voice of the basilisk.

The twelve-foot-long serpent is often fatal to its enemies in battle, not to mention the poison on its sharp fangs.

The basilisk was unusually fast, swift and agile as it swam around the prey in front of it, like a predator teasing its prey.

Arthur Weasley was lying on the ground in rags, covered in blood-stained wounds.

He seemed to be in a semi-comatose state, and he looked like he was already dying.

"This is ......, Basilisk Nagini, didn't Voldemort himself come here?" Lu Li's heart was slightly stunned and confused.

Lu Li and Luna followed the source of the sound to find this place, which was also the first thought that came to him after seeing this scene.

Nagini is one of Voldemort's seven Horcruxes and Voldemort's murderous weapon.

It was the last Horcrux Voldemort ever created, other than Harry Potter.

In the original book, it was finally killed by Neville Longbottom with the Sword of Gryffindor, and it was also the last Horcrux to be destroyed.

According to rumors, Nagini was originally a circus man who was under a blood spell, and after being under this spell, he was able to switch between human and snake states, but eventually became a completely irrational animal.

"Faint!"

The moment Luna saw the basilisk that was about to be devoured, she immediately pulled out her wand and recited the incantation aloud.

The red flame hit Nagini's large, twisted body perfectly.

This spell, which was supposed to temporarily render the opponent unconscious, did not work as it should, like leaves falling on the surface of a lake, without even a ripple.

As a Horcrux, Nagini is protected by Voldemort's special magical powers, and it itself has the property of being immune to most spells.

For Nagini, ordinary spells are difficult to do with it.

Luna's spell was more of a provocation to the basilisk at this time.

Enraged, Nagia abandoned Arthur Weasley, who had been her previous target, spitting out scarlet letters and roaring in the direction of the two of them.

"Looks like the Weasleys owe us a favor."

Lu Li whispered to Luna beside him, and a touch of crimson magatama quietly appeared in his eyes.

His keen dynamic vision made him aware of Arthur. Weasley still showed good signs of life, and it gave him the impression that the basilisk that was swimming towards them was unusually slow.

Lu Li motioned for Luna to stand behind him, and he walked with steady steps, step by step, approaching Nagini.

It's more like a stroll in your own backyard than a fight against a terrifying basilisk.

The two were close together, and Nagini bared her sharp fangs and was about to bite down on the two men in front of her.

Bang!

With this dull sound.

The huge basilisk was kicked out by Lu Li in the head, and slammed into the surrounding walls.

Nagia struggled to fall from the sunken wall, then shook its massive head humanely.

It looked like its head was a little dizzy, and it couldn't figure out what was going on.

Lu Li ignored the basilisk, which was still a little dizzy, squatted down, and carefully examined Arthur. Wounds on Weasley's body.

Then, a turquoise glow appeared on his hands.

Lu Li began to use the Palm Immortal Technique to heal Mr. Weasley's wounds, and as for the snake venom in his body, let Dumbledore worry about it.
