Vol 2 Chapter 996: Melop

In the tower hall downstairs, Harris was almost there.
Morgan Le Fayy was helping Furong complete the gift list. She glanced up at the family of three downstairs, then returned to the clothing advertisements, and asked intently in accordance with Chapter 996, "Allen, Why did you get downstairs? I thought you were going out with Lun...oh, so you told us that the basilisk hatched?"
　　 The others present reacted and looked up at Ellen.
"Yes, mother, the basilisk has been successfully hatched today, but the rooster's cry is fatal to it, so I asked Maggie to get rid of all the roosters in the house..." Hearing Alan's voice , The dark green little basilisk slid out from under the raven feathers of Alan’s robe, but it didn’t take long to stretch his head and squeezed back. It entangled Alan’s shoulders, hissing Spit out the letter, through the crystal shield, looking in front of him vigilantly.
Many of the people who did not expect Alan to bring the basilisk down like this, many of them have already closed their eyes instinctively, but the clever Harris who realized that Alan will not bring danger to them immediately opened their eyes again. , Began to look at this dangerous creature rated by the Ministry of Magic as the ????? level.
"The sight of the basilisk is indeed the most dangerous attack weapon. Any creature that directly intersects with its gaze will be killed immediately and intersected indirectly - for example, the creature seen in the mirror or through reflection in the water will be bound by the whole body. The petrified body...but don't worry, I put a blindfold made of crystal lenses on its eyes..." Allen pressed his finger on the head of the little basilisk, and the little basilisk curled up on his shoulders, lazy Throwing his tail eloquently, "Of course, wearing ordinary glasses can't save people's lives when they are in contact with the basilisk, because glasses can still let the eyes pass directly, instead of reflecting like a mirror or a camera, but me The principle is not to use reflection, but to use ancient magic methods to directly weaken and absorb the murderous gaze from its eyes."
　　 But even with the isolation of the crystal eye mask, after looking at each other with this cute baby basilisk, everyone felt a slight or heavy discomfort.
Furong turned her head abruptly. She seemed to feel that her whole body became very stiff, and every movement was very laborious. She opened her mouth strenuously, but found that she couldn't even stretch her tongue freely-Furong joined Harris The time is the shortest, and relatively speaking, the soul energy is the weakest, so it is more uncomfortable when facing the gaze of the little basilisk.
Albert, who had nothing to do after feeling a little dizzy at first glance, saw the uncomfortable fiancée, and quickly took Furong in his arms, supported him on the sofa next to him, and began to show off in public. Constantly comforted.
　　 "Wearing goggles can still have such power, this little guy is more powerful than Josephine you predicted." Owen shook his head and stopped looking at the basilisk, turned to look at his sister who seemed completely unobstructed.
"This is a good thing. Many families hope to tame a dangerous magical creature like a basilisk to protect wealth and protect the family." Aunt Josephine stared at the little basilisk's yellow eyes, "not counting Slytherin. If you stay in Hogwarts, Britain has not seen a record of basilisks for at least 400 years. The Committee for Disposal of Dangerous Creatures under the Department of Management and Control of Magical Creatures under my management will occasionally investigate and deal with snake smuggling. Of course, most of the strange egg incidents are counterfeit things. The Moody guy once regarded an alarm clock given to him as a basilisk egg... But I still encountered a real guy in a smuggling case, but unfortunately It's a dead egg with no signs of life..."
　　 "Hey..." Alan sighed regretfully, "It's a pity, otherwise if you can get it back, this little guy will have company."
"Many of this kind of magical creatures artificially cultivated by wizards do not have the ability to reproduce." Luna nestled in the sofa, resting her head on Helena's legs, "but this kind of monkey face Pets can indeed reproduce normally...
(Author’s Note: Although there is a claim that the basilisk has red hair on its head and is said to be a male, it has not been clearly stated whether it has a true gender or whether it will reproduce. "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" Chapter 17: Among the four warriors, the basilisk itself may also have the ability to reproduce, because Moody once suspected that the gift he received was a "pretending ingenious basilisk egg" regardless This travel alarm clock smashed into pieces, indicating that the basilisk can lay eggs.)
　　 "Oh...uhhh..."
　　 Morgan Le Fay clutched her chest, and a sour smell corroded by gastric juice emanated from the food she vomited.
"If you feel uncomfortable looking at it, just twist the beginning, see if you can do it forcibly..." Irving embraced his wife, half-armed and helped Morgan Le Fay to rest on the sofa, just like his eldest son. Also began to show off in public, and the affection continued to comfort Morgan Le Fay.
And Kreacher, the house elf who appeared before Maggie, quickly swiped his fingers to clean up the vomit instantly, then took out the perfume bottle and sprayed it thoughtfully, then bowed to the surrounding owners and disappeared again. In situ.
However, after the incident, no one in the family, including Owen, wants to look at this dangerous little basilisk. Although it is not fatal, the feeling of petrification makes them uncomfortable—and Daisy and Fleur are in sync at this point, neither of them likes snakes very much.
"They are also your family... Protect them..." Alan closed his jaw slightly, and hissed and whispered to the little basilisk, because the little basilisk, who was too old to understand too much information, raised his head questioningly and passed the enslavement gem in Alan. After passing on the thoughts in his heart again, this little guy finally understood somehow.
　　 "Everyone is best, come up one by one to let it recognize." Seeing that the Basilisk understood the order, Allen beckoned everyone to move forward.
Aunt Josephine, who was closest, came first. She stretched out her pale hand and let the little basilisk get entangled, and then felt the coldness of each other’s bodies.
Other magical creatures see that it’s difficult for us wizards to look Distinguish us, after all, it’s just as long as we look at them, but snakes have a very developed sense of smell, and the basilisk can also remember human voices, but this one is a bit too young, so we had better bear with it. Try to get along with it more..."
After Josephine, his elder brother Owen looked a little too relaxed. He later realized that his state was a little bit self-deprecating and smiled: "Actually, I originally wanted to have a basilisk. I don’t even dare to think about it. At that time, I was afraid of going to jail if anyone gave me one... But since Allen went to Hogwarts, I seem to be immune to these things.
　　 "I wouldn't dare to raise it without enslavement gems." Alan gently pulled the little basilisk's tail affectionately, "This little guy has a much stronger intention to attack than imagined."
Owen surreptitiously turned his head and glanced at Luna on the sofa. He smiled bitterly and shook his head when he saw that the other party was wandering again. Then he said openly: "Speaking of which, this male egg is still the one that Penello brought when he was performing your mission in Africa It's really hard for this girl to come back... Now that Ellen is hatched, remember to tell her... Besides, Ellen, how are her parents persuaded by Penello? How about Hermione's parents? Both agreed to move there. Is your school town yet?"
"Uh...probably not yet. I will make sure when I send the message later..." After the two witches said that he could solve it, Alan didn't care much about this matter. After being asked by his father this time, he felt that As a promoter, he should be more concerned.
"So cute!"
It turned out that Emily, who was going to play next to her, saw her father didn’t let go but talked with Alan. She didn’t have enough temperament to walk over directly, enduring the strong numbness produced by her body and staring at the basilisk. This cute and dangerous creature is full of admiration, "Alan, have you named it?"
　　 "Melop." There was a little smug in Allen's tone.
　　 Owen frowned beside him: "Melop? It seems that you really sympathize with mysterious people?"
"Uh~EbookFREE.me~ not the father, but I think the surname Gunter behind this name is quite suitable for this snake, after all, they also have the blood of Salazar Slytherin." Allen found After finding a reason to explain, he remembered that according to the custom here, naming a child an elder’s name is mostly in memory and respect-for example, James Potter’s son Harry Potter’s full name is Harry James Potter, and Harry’s unborn eldest son was named by Harry using his father’s name, also called James Sirius Potter, also known as James Potter...
Realizing that Luna must have been looking at his brain just now, Ellen pretended to stare at Luna on the sofa angrily. Luna just said lightly, "Since there is a resurrection stone, then their house may also be Kadmore. Peverrier, the descendant of the second child in the story of the Three Brothers..."
　　Owen noticed that Emily looked at their puzzled eyes, and habitually turned her head and shouted: "Lon, you can explain to everyone the meaning of the name Merope."
But there was no reply. Owen looked back and looked for Lun among his family members strangely. Allen also turned his head and scanned the faces of his family members, and suddenly realized that he had made a mistake-let Lun deal with the dark wizard before he left. , And asked him to buy a local specialty fruit brandy, and Lun was unable to apparate back directly from Baojialia at a distance...
　　 In this case, it would take a while for Lun to return home, and just now everyone didn't realize Lun's absence in normal times-when he was okay, his sense of existence was too low.
