Hearing Dracula's close voice, Voldemort was startled and turned his head abruptly to look at his side.

I saw the silver-haired figure chuckling, and appeared beside him so suddenly, as if it was not affected by the basilisk in the slightest.

He looked back at the basilisk in disbelief, looking at its green and thick appearance like an oak trunk, as if everything was healthy and normal. I don't know why its gaze has lost its effect.

Wait, how can a magical creature like a basilisk be so quiet?!

Voldemort looked closely, only to find that it was lying "well-behaved" in the corner of the room, its eyes closed and shivering......

The "hiss" Parseltongue came out of Voldemort's mouth again, urging the basilisk to bite Dracula.

If Dracula is not affected by the basilisk's gaze, use poison against him!

Voldemort thought so, and the Parseltongue became more and more urgent.

However, the basilisk did not pay attention to his meaning, and even shrank back with an innocent and flattering expression.

"How is this possible......"

Voldemort was stunned, and his voice seemed to come out between his teeth.

"Nothing is impossible." Dracula walked up to the basilisk and said with a smirk, "All I can say is ...... Are you the one who is truly arrogant and ignorant, Mr. Voldemort? ”

The basilisk bowed its head tamely, closed its eyes, and let Dracula pat it on its sleek, cold head.

"You are neither the heir of Slytherin, nor do you use a parseltongue...... Why will it listen to you? Voldemort asked, looking at the scene in disbelief.

"Maybe it's because you're afraid I'll bully it?" Dracula nudged the pliable serpent's body, coiled it into a couch-like shape, and lay down comfortably.

During this period, the basilisk did not dare to move at all, but moved its body according to Dracula's strength, willing to become a smooth snake couch.

In fact, Dracula knew this large Slytherin pet for a thousand years, and even formed a deep "friendship" with him.

At that time, Slytherin had not yet broken with the other three founders, and had only secretly built an experimental base for the transformation of the dark arts.

He succeeded in hatching a basilisk according to the cultivation method left behind by the dastardly Helbo.

Dracula was intrigued when he learned about the nature of the basilisk gaze. So, as a vampire who likes to die, he sneaks into the cave where the basilisk is bred when Slytherin is not looking, and forces the poor basilisk to look at him......

The truth is, Dracula is still alive and well.

The basilisk's gaze is indeed an extremely powerful and difficult to resist talent, but it still has limitations to its use.

According to Salazar Slytherin's test, the basilisk's gaze must be able to look directly without any obstruction to be most effective, and any obstruction that causes the gaze to deflect will weaken its effect - such as through mirrors, through glass, etc., will attenuate the damage of the basilisk's gaze to varying degrees, resulting in effects such as killing and petrifying.

Secondly, the basilisk's innate magic is far from being a rule-based magic with no upper limit, but is activated through magic. If the basilisk were to look at a wizard with great magical powers, there was a high probability that it would not be able to kill him instantly.

In addition to this, this magic can only have a full effect on living people. If the basilisk is facing a ghost, a corpse, or other inanimate species, this innate magic will only have a partial effect, achieving the effect of petrification.

Unfortunately, Dracula alone occupies the latter two restrictions -

His magic is far from being matched by a basilisk; Moreover, vampires are a species that belongs to the living dead, and are not really living people, so the basilisk's gaze does not have a complete effect.

Because of this, Dracula and the basilisk only felt a little fluttery after looking at each other, and there was no other reaction.

It was the same a thousand years ago, when Dracula made eye contact with the basilisk many times to experience the feeling of being hooked by the soul, and countless times the magic in the basilisk was drained, making it miserable.

So the basilisk learned wisely, and when he saw Dracula again, he closed his eyes and did not look at him, thinking that he had escaped from the sea of misery...... It was then beaten up by Dracula, forcing it to use the basilisk's gaze.

Between being beaten by Fat and running out of mana, the basilisk chose to expend mana to avoid being beaten......

Since then, the basilisk reflexively closes its eyes when it sees Dracula.

When it came out of the water pipe today, when it saw the demon with its frighteningly large yellow eyes, it was almost scared to death, and thought it had a thousand-year-long nightmare!

How could it dare to follow Voldemort's orders to attack Dracula?

One is a Slytherin friend, the other is a Slytherin descendant who doesn't know how many generations later, and the basilisk knows which is more terrifying with its tail!

Seeing the basilisk meek and Dracula lying on top of it, Voldemort gritted his teeth tightly and suddenly dodged towards Harry, who was still unconscious, and poked Harry in the forehead with Quirrell's wand.

"Let me go, Dracula!" He said viciously, "Otherwise, I'll kill your good student!" ”

Dracula frowned slightly, stood up from the basilisk and took two steps forward slowly.

"I'm disappointed, Mr. Voldemort." Dracula looked at the disproportionate ugly face in front of him and whispered, "If you choose to raise your wand and fight me, I may look down on you and recognize your identity as the Dark Lord." ”

"I really didn't expect that the first thing you thought about when you encountered this situation was not how to defeat me, but to use hostages to protect yourself and escape."

"No more nonsense, Dracula!" Voldemort snapped, "Let me go, let Potter die here, make a choice!" ”

Hearing this, Dracula looked at him with a very strange look, staring straight at his heart.

"It's an honor." Dracula suddenly showed an evil smile, "So I have such a high moral quality in your eyes?" ”

Voldemort suddenly felt bad, and his whole body turned into black smoke and scattered in all directions.

The next moment, a blood-colored arc suddenly bombarded the place where he had just been, plowed a deep chasm into the hard ground!

Voldemort didn't have time to take the Philosopher's Stone at this time, but quickly gathered the black smoke together, forming a skull-like phantom, and quickly flew towards the periphery of the forbidden area.

"It's really troublesome, it's this operation again."

Dracula pursed his lips, and a pair of sharp wings stretched out behind him, flapping his wings and following.

……

With Dracula in hot pursuit, Voldemort didn't dare to stay for a moment, desperately taking advantage of the convenience brought by the disembodied smoke, flying wildly.

It wasn't until he flew close to the Forbidden Forest, about to leave the area covered by the irreversible illusion spell, that Voldemort breathed a sigh of relief and glanced back.

I saw that Dracula didn't seem to be flying seriously at all, but paddled like water, flapping his wings twice from time to time, and hanging behind him gracefully, already at a great distance from the black smoke that Voldemort had turned into.

Voldemort was in ecstasy, ready to rush through the boundaries of the Anti-Apparition Shifter Charm in one fell swoop, and then let the birds fly!

At this moment, he vaguely saw an illusory dark moon appear behind him out of thin air, and Dracula crashed into it, suddenly disappearing in place-

"How did he teleport in anti-illusion protection?" Voldemort froze.

Immediately, just when he was still stunned, the dark moon suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.

Dracula emerged in the light of the dark moon, his silver hair fluttering in the wind, his dark wings blocking half of the moonlight, casting deep shadows over Voldemort's eerie face.

A silky supple stream of blood flowed behind the wings, turning into a bright red river, winding in a graceful arc beyond the dark moonlight, following the direction of Dracula's slender fingers.

Eventually, the river of blood turned into a reddish dungeon, enveloping Voldemort entirely, flowing and swirling.

"What if you can turn into smoke, how do you escape when every inch of space is wrapped?" Dracula whispered.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Voldemort's body constructed of black smoke rushed left and right, but it was corroded by blood and water, and he could not penetrate the water prison built by the river of blood.

"Wait a minute, Dracula!"

Seeing that he couldn't break through the package of the blood-colored water prison, he was desperate in his heart, but he still shouted calmly.

"What's the matter, any last words?" Dracula said impatiently.

Seeing Voldemort's unfashionable escape, Dracula is now completely disinterested in the Dark Lord.

"Don't kill them all yet, I think we still have the possibility of turning enemies into friends!" Seeing Dracula's impatient expression, Voldemort said anxiously, "I know you're not a rigid old antique like Dumbledore, and you don't have that kind of rules and regulations, so you shouldn't care about making a deal with me!" ”

"Forget it, trading with someone like you will only lower my standards."

Dracula scoffed and raised his hand. The blood-colored water prison slowly tightened inward as it swirled.

"Don't be impulsive, Dracula!" Voldemort winced as he turned the black smoke into a small ball, avoiding the oppression of the bloodstream, and shouted urgently, "I have a secret that I have never told anyone, it will definitely interest you, it is something that every wizard dreams of but cannot ask for!" ”

The tightening speed of the Scarlet Water Prison stalled.

Dracula was slightly interested, thinking that the Dark Lord shouldn't be too bad for what was at the bottom of the box.

So he said, "I'll give you one last chance." ”

"Wise choice, Dracula." Voldemort breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the Scarlet Water Prison stop, and then regained his self-confidence, and said proudly:

"Work with me, Dracula, and I'll tell you the secret of eternal life!"

Dracula: "......"
