Chapter 108: The End of the Secret Room
"Fluorescent flickering."
Karn commanded with his hand, and the next second it was as bright as a small sun in the chamber; This is because his magic power is too huge, so the magic he uses is much more powerful than ordinary people.
Being able to absorb natural energy and convert it into magic, plus Karn will have a shadow clone absorb natural energy every day, Karn himself doesn't know how huge his magic power is, but it is not yet the upper limit, or he has no upper limit at all.
With the help of fluorescence, Karn came to a locked pipe, and he tried the lock-picking charm, but to no avail; Karn regretted not bringing Harry down, and should have let him open the door and send him up.
"Divided!"
Karn had little patience, and used the Crushing Charm to blast a hole in the stone wall next to the pipe, and with the depth of his magic, the Crushing Charm he used casually was comparable to five or six C4 explosives.
A passage was opened, and Karn walked straight inside, and after walking through the long pipes, Karn came to the legendary Slytherin chamber.
Near the Slytherin statue at the other end, there were two figures, one tall and thin, wearing Hogwarts wizarding robes; The other sat curled up on the ground, his shaggy hair now wet and draped over his shoulders, and his face was very pale.
"Tom, it seems that my kindness has given you so many delusions that you think you can rebel against me, so you have found my goddaughter? What means did you use to control her? ”
Karn said to Tom as he used the levitation charm on Hermione, causing her to fly towards him.
During the whole process, Tom did not stop herm, or that he was connected to Hermione's life at this time, and could not use magic on Hermione.
But Tom's face was contorted with anger, and he shouted at Karn, "Merciful? Every day, every day, every day, every day it burned me with fire, no matter how much I begged for mercy, it was useless, and at last it was not until I pretended to be dying weak that I weakened the number of times I burned with fire! Benevolent!? ”
Tom almost roared at the last two words, as if to vent the grievances he had suffered with Karn all this time.
"I've decided, I'm going to kill her first, and then you; No one can save you, I swear! ”
As he said this, Tom took two breaths of cold air, and he suddenly remembered his tragic days in the diary, but now he could be resurrected and liberated.
Karn ignored Tom's impotent roar for a moment, and after Hermione floated over, he took Hermione in his arms, and then took a closer look at Hermione's condition, "Hermione, are you okay?" ”
"The Godfather."
Hermione's eyes were blank and speechless after she said this.
"You can't save her, this magic is irreversible, and now she can only be used as nourishment for my resurrection."
Tom was so proud that it was the best gift to be able to make the man who tortured him watch his goddaughter die and then be eaten by the Basilisk of Slytherin as the resurrection of the Dark Lord.
"Do you want to know why she was controlled by me, it's ridiculous to say, I thought she was hopeless."
"Tom, I don't know where your confidence in exposing your weaknesses and being able to teach me seriously comes from, but you're more ridiculous."
As soon as Karn had said this, Tom Riddle's journal flew towards him.
"Nope! The diary is flying! ”
When Tom saw this, he suddenly panicked in his heart, and now the magic was not over, and he had not yet been fully resurrected; However, his recall spell didn't work, and his current magic still relied on a second-year Gryffindor, how could he be compared to Karnbi.
"The diary is flying! Come out and kill that man. ”
In the previous sentence, Tom tried to use the Flying Charm again, and after that he failed, he began to summon the basilisk; After two failed Flying Spells, he finally remembered that the person in front of him who was torturing him was a Defense Against the Dark Arts professor who loved to delve into dark magic.
After Tom summons the basilisk with a Parseltongue, the Slytherin stone statue makes a loud noise, opening a hole in its mouth, and the sound of the basilisk crawling.
But by this time the journal had flown into Karn's hand, and Karn shook his head and said to Tom, "Tom, if you were honest, you could have lived a little longer, but now you don't even have the last value. ”
Rumble!
As soon as he finished speaking, Karn's hand holding the diary suddenly ignited a very violent fire, which was bright yellow when it first appeared, gradually turning closer to blood, emitting a strange dark red.
"Ugh! Ahh ”
The power of the fire was already terrifying, especially for a fire master like Karn who had the genes of a phoenix and a fire dragon, and the Diary Horcrux was destroyed in an instant; At the same second, Tom's near-resurrected body shattered as the journal broke.
No matter how loud he shouted, he couldn't stop the diary from being destroyed.
When Tom disappeared completely, Karn also stopped the fire in his hand, and Hermione, who was in his arms, also regained his strength, and for a moment resounded what he had been through in the past few days.
It was like a slideshow of nightmares, replaying frame by frame in front of her eyes.
"The Godfather. I'm sorry. ”
Karn patted his shaggy hair, then cleaned up Hermione and said, "Apologize when you get out, and it's none of your business, it's all Tom's fault, evil fellow." ”
"By the way, and the basilisk, Godfather, let's go, he just summoned"
"I know, I happen to be interested in the basilisk, and it's already out."
Karn saw that Hermione still wanted to turn back, and couldn't help but reach out and hold her head down, and staring at the basilisk was tantamount to fleshing out the Avada Death Curse, and even he was watching his feet and listening to the sound.
When the sound became louder and louder, Karn raised his head directly and spat out a large ball of fierce fire from his mouth, which instantly turned into the appearance of a phoenix after blurting out, and as Karn continued to use the powerful fire, even the surrounding water pool was vaporized a lot because of the impact of the fierce fire.
"Hiss~hiss!"
The basilisk's roar revealed a panic, it had lived for thousands of years, although it had grown from a small basilisk to tens of meters long, but in the face of a fierce phoenix twice its size, it was suddenly so weak that it was afraid.
However, before the basilisk could turn around, a fiery dragon appeared in the Slytherin stone passage, and the surrounding fiery fire had turned into a fence that surrounded it.
Now the basilisk really didn't dare to move anymore, it could only shrink its huge body, and then roared weakly.
The Flame Fence suddenly parted a passageway, and Karn's shadow clone walked over and said to the basilisk, "I know you can hear people, turn around and surrender to me, or be burned to death by the fire." ”
Having lived for thousands of years and having a mind of his own, the basilisk could understand human language eighty percent of the time, and if he didn't express it or really couldn't understand it, Karn would have had to get the basilisk's corpse.
Thankfully, not long after Karn finished speaking, the basilisk spread out and turned the snake's belly on its back.
"Count your acquaintances, shrink quickly."
Karn laughed and cast a shrinking spell on the basilisk before extinguishing the flames around him.
The shrunken basilisk was just over ten centimeters long, and Karn coiled it in a circle, cast a petrification charm and a cleansing charm on the basilisk, and then wore the basilisk as a bracelet on his wrist.
"Now about you, Miss Granger, why did you take a journal that you know is dark magic?"
Karn asked, letting Hermione from his arms, and when she heard this, Hermione lowered her head.
After a while, he spoke: "I heard a voice. It's like a dream, what he says is what I usually think and then his voice is intermittent, and at that time there was only one thought in my heart, which was to talk to him more."
"When I go back, I will start practicing brain occlusion and memory magic, and don't talk nonsense when I go out for a while, and leave everything to me."
Karn patted Hermione on the head and told him that he had wanted to sneak into the Chamber of Secrets and take the basilisk away, but fortunately there was no major loss, and the crisis could be turned into a benefit.
After subduing the basilisk, the only remaining role of the Chamber of Secrets is the pipes leading to the various levels, but this is left to Dumbledore to solve; Karn walked out with Hermione, but had just used the Levitation Charm to reach the exit of the sink in the girls' bathroom when he was bumped into Harry with Dumbledore and several other professors.
"Professor Pente."
"The matter has been settled, Headmaster, Hermione was controlled, but I rescued her, and now the dark wizard who controls Granger's classmates and the basilisk in the secret room have been eliminated"
Halfway through speaking, Karn noticed that Snape was looking at his wrist, and he looked down to see that it was the basilisk that had slipped off, so he pulled it up again.
"What happened to the classmates who were attacked?"
Dumbledore pretended not to see the basilisk bracelet and replied, "Luckily, it's just petrified, Persey didn't look directly at the basilisk, but it will have to wait for Professor Sprout's mandrake to mature." ”
Karn said, "I'll have someone send it over, there should be a lot of mandrakes, that is"
"I'm sure Professor Snape will make a perfect anti-petrification potion, Professor Pent."
Except that Hermione trembled a little after hearing Persey's name, it was the senior sister who had a little feud with her, because she didn't agree to her to introduce her godfather, and subconsciously hated Persey, so she manipulated the basilisk to retaliate.
Hermione was about to say something when Karn held her head down.
"Headmaster Dumbledore, I want to tell you one thing, about this journal."
Dumbledore looked at the coke in Karn's hand, and if he didn't explain, it was hard for him to tell that it was a diary, "Come to the Headmaster's office, Professor Pente." ”
Karn told Hermione to wait for him in his office, and then followed Dumbledore to the Headmaster's office.
As soon as he walked in, a fiery red phoenix flew towards him, Karn could sense the mind of this phoenix, it had no malice, only curiosity and surprise; Flew towards Karn and landed directly on his shoulder, then looked at Karn without stopping.
"Fawkes sees you as if you were a friend."
Dumbledore took out some candy, but seeing that Karn was not interested in eating it, he peeled off a honey candy and stuffed it into his mouth, "Professor Pente, what do you want to tell me?" ”
"This journal is Tom Riddle's Horcrux, and it was he who influenced Hermione to open the Chamber of Secrets and release the basilisk inside; By the way, he also opened the secret room fifty years ago. ”
"What surprising news, was that basilisk the one you had fifty years ago?"
It's a little different, but it doesn't matter, the important thing is that Tom Riddle has more than one Horcrux, maybe seven."
Upon hearing this, Dumbledore's face also became solemn, Tom Riddle was his former student and the current Dark Lord.
"I see, Professor Pente, thank you so much for the information, it's just the basilisk."
"This is what I have subdued, Mr. Dumbledore, the basilisk has surrendered to me."
Karn made it clear that although it was a Slytherin pet, it had abandoned Slytherin in favor of Boss Karn.
Dumbledore waved his hand and said, "Of course, I don't have any problem with the basilisk's ownership, but Hagrid needs a proof, Professor Pente." ”
