Chapter 44: Basrisk

　　 Basilisk is its name.
　　 This is almost a thousand years ago, the owner who created it: Salazar Slytherin, named it.
"Basilisk", "Snake King" or "Angel", wizards call it such titles; Basilisk knows that wizards are afraid of it and fear him, but it doesn't care about these, because it has Its mission.
　　 Salazar Slytherin left a secret room before leaving Hogwarts Castle... One of its duties is to guard the secrets in it until the return of the Slytherin heir.
For a thousand years, Basilisk wandered under the castle, relying on hunting mice, bats and a small number of birds for a living... There is little food, and it often goes hungry. Sometimes when it is too hungry, it will hibernate by itself. .
　　 It never planned to appear in the castle, because it knew that the castle would not welcome itself...it would only panic because of its presence.
　　Also, Salazar Slytherin once instilled mission in it.
　　 Someone said that Salazar Slytherin hopes to expel all young wizards born from Muggles or without sufficient magic power from this school... Basilisk understands that this is not the case.
No one loves this castle or school more than Salazar; not even his three former best friends...Even if he died on the other side of the ocean, Basilisk could still feel that the master treated Hogg Watts's unquenchable thoughts.
　　 Salazar Slytherin objected to Hogwarts accepting Muggle-born wizards for the simple reason that he thought they were unreliable.
In the era when witch hunts were raging, in the era when Muggles and wizards were completely hostile, in the era when any wizard could be reported at any time and then sent to fire...Even Godric Gryffindor Such excellent duelists have been seriously injured in battles with Muggles.
　　 So, Slytherin felt that taking a Muggle-born young wizard was a big risk. Because you can't be sure whether they will leak the existence of Hogwarts to the Muggles; once the privacy of Hogwarts is broken, a new war between wizards and Muggles is coming!
　　 There is no doubt that Slytherin's views have not been agreed. In the eyes of his three friends, Muggle-born wizards are a symbol of outstanding talent; and if they cannot absorb more fresh blood, the wizards will only stand still and perish themselves... They had a fierce quarrel.
　　 In the end, Slytherin failed; he finally left the Hogwarts castle and the school.
But even after leaving school, Salazar Slytherin never thought of hurting the young wizards who were born in Muggles...because he always believed that he was still the principal of Hogwarts, even if he was a young wizard born in Muggles. The wizards are still his students.
　　 A principal will never hurt his students, even those he hates!
　　 This is also the mission that Basrix was instilled in.
　　 It has been hidden under Hogwarts for thousands of years. In addition to protecting the Slytherin's secret room, there are also people who guard this castle and guard the castle.
　　……
　　 But fifty years ago, the secret room was opened.
　　 Basriks was very pleased, because it felt that its mission was about to be completed soon.
But to its surprise, the new owner is completely different from the former Slytherin; the "Slytherin heir" named Tom Riddle has a more radical and radical concept than Salazar Slytherin. More cruel...
　　 He believes that Hogwarts’ Mudbloods and Dumb Cannons should be killed!
　　 Basriks tried to communicate with the new owner, hoping to convince him... but it failed!
　　 Tom Riddle ignored its opinions...In his opinion, Basrikes was just a rude beast.
What’s more terrible is that Tom Riddle is a Snake Laoqiang... For a giant snake, Snake Laoqiang is its nemesis; no snake can refuse the order of Snake Laoqiang, even among the snakes. Wang is no exception.
　　 Baslix was forced to accept the orders of the new owner, left the secret room, wandered in the castle, and attacked the lonely Muggle-born wizards.
But Basriques has been working hard. It knows that the direct contact of its eyes and the venom in its fangs are deadly enough for wizards... so it has been doing some small things under the orders of the new owner. change.
During the attack, it avoids its eyes from hitting the poor students; it always tries its best to reappear in front of the students when it is unable to look directly at the students (indirectly); although it will still They cause a lot of damage, but at least they can save their lives.
　　 A total of nearly ten students were attacked, and Basriques tried his best to keep them alive...until there was an accident...
　　 The new target that Tom Riddle made it attack was a girl with highly myopic glasses... Basriks knew very well that his eyes were not fatal if he had glasses to block it. But at the time of the attack, the girl took off her glasses while crying and crying...
　　 She died...
　　 Basriques fell into deep self-blame, and he began to resist the orders of the new master.
　　 But Snake Lao Tong is too deadly for snakes, and its resistance is almost futile.
　　 Fortunately, since the girl died, Tom Riddle has never opened the secret room again... Basriks thought he was free.
　　 Until half a year ago, the secret room was opened again, opened by the same person.
　　……
　　 Baslix curled up in a small lair in the secret room, licking his wounds.
　　 For half a year, as it was fifty years ago, it was forced to attack Hogwarts students under the orders of Snakeman.
　　 But in an attack three days ago, it was injured.
　　 A big wizard wounded it with a strange magic wand... There seemed to be something remaining in the wound, and even with the powerful recovery power of the basilisk, it had been difficult to heal.
　　 Bas Ricks felt his body weakened a lot.
　　 Above the secret room, there were several noises.
　　 Could it be that Tom Riddle is here again...While he is injured, he has to make another attack at Hogwarts?
　　 Basrix slowly crawled out of the lair.
　　 But it was not Tom Riddle's extremely cold voice; this time the sound of opening the secret room was that of a young boy, and it was much gentler.
　　 In addition to the boy's voice, there are many footsteps.
　　 The footsteps of several adult wizards.
