Hogwarts, this professor is too stable.

library.

Moqil came out of the restricted book area, holding a copy of "Detailed Explanation of the Magic of Dark Creatures" in his hand.

This is a book that Tom Riddle borrowed when he was in third grade. It was also the first book that he borrowed from the restricted book area after getting a "note" from Professor Slughorn in his third grade.

So, why did Tom Riddle borrow such a "popular science book" that seemed useless in the past?

You know, generally speaking, it is difficult for wizards to use the magic of other magical creatures because the magic works differently.

Of course, this is not to say that the magic of magical creatures is worthless.

Human beings are the creatures that are best at asking for things from nature. Whether they are Muggles or wizards, they all have the principles of studying the structure and function of living organisms, and based on these principles they invent new equipment, tools and technologies, and create products suitable for The ability to produce, learn and live with advanced technologies.

For example, Muggles invented the thermal depth detector based on snakes, the odor depth detector based on lobsters, the rapid transmission of analyzer files based on cockroaches, the vibration sensor based on spiders, and the electronic frog eyes based on frogs. Artificial luminescence was invented based on ants, and a bionic photo-water splitting device was invented based on eggs.

In fact, wizards imitated nature even before Muggles. Many magics started with the magical creatures of the Rubik's Cube. They were based on the illusion spell created by the invisible beast, the petrification spell created by Medusa, and the fire dragon. The flames are blazing...

But these all require lengthy research and experiments!

Since the birth of wizards, in the three million years of history, countless people have sacrificed their precious lives for the current magic system.

Moqil had never understood why the Dark Lord in his student days was so eager to borrow this book. You know, in the past, only magic historians would read such books and read them. The purpose is just to provide a reference in my article.

But before, when Moqil saw the notes on the "Practical Defense Against Dark Arts" in Jack's hand, Moqil suddenly figured out something.

Perhaps, in 900 AD, in this magical castle in Europe where society was extremely hostile to wizards, Salazar Slytherin once analyzed an extraordinary harmful magic to the soul, a magic that has never been recorded anywhere, and It was the magic that was sealed into the secret chamber and sealed in the mouth of the basilisk!

Mochir locked himself up when he returned to the laboratory. If it was true as he thought, then there must be some kind of secret hidden in this book, a secret that could be related to the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets.

He turned the book to a position further back in the middle, where there was a record of a dark creature that still exists today - the basilisk.

When it comes to the basilisk, it is impossible to mention its creator, "Despicable Herbo".

This is an ancient Greek dark wizard. He was one of the earliest known dark wizards, and many of his studies still influence dark magic to this day. He is believed to be the first wizard to breed a basilisk, and is famous for it. In addition, he invented many evil curses and became the first wizard to successfully create a Horcrux. From this it can be inferred that he must have committed an act of murder in order to split his soul. He was one of the early Parseltongues.

Helbo is one of the most powerful and influential dark wizards known to history. He was the first wizard to successfully create a Horcrux, and possibly the first to invent a method of making it.

He was infamous for inventing many evil curses.

At the same time, Helbo was also one of the early Parselmouths. He was born with the rare ability to communicate with snakes.

Among so many achievements, as a basilisk breeder, the first wizard to discover that using toads to hatch eggs can hatch snake kings is relatively unremarkable.

The cause of Herbo's death and the destruction of his Horcrux are unknown. If his Horcrux had never been destroyed, he might still be alive right now...

The basilisk is described in detail on page 1473 of the book.

This is a large dark green snake with yellow eyes and a body up to 50 feet long. The male basilisk has a bright red feather on its head.

The basilisk's teeth are extremely venomous, but even more dangerous are its eyes. Anyone who makes eye contact with the basilisk will be instantly killed. Anyone who makes eye contact with the basilisk through other things will be petrified. Only a potion prepared by mandrake can revive the victim.

The basilisk's Achilles heel is the crowing of the rooster. Otherwise, the basilisk is controlled only by Parseltongue and has no other way to restrain it.

Mochir pondered, and the quill on the table flew up by itself, recording on the paper.

Gillenkama.

This was the first name Mochir wrote on paper, the white-feathered rooster standing at the top of the world.

In distant Norse mythology, this white rooster was ordered by the sisters of fate to calculate time for all things in the world.

When all creatures in heaven and earth need sleep, the white rooster starts counting. When it had counted sixty times sixty times twelve, it sang loudly on the top of the World Tree. At the same time, the day and the sun also rushed into the sky from the Palace of Dawn and the Palace of Dusk respectively.

Therefore, the basilisk is afraid of the crowing of the rooster. What it may really be afraid of is Gyronkama, who controls time.

So, as a creature created by a wizard, why does the basilisk know about Gironkama, a rooster that lives on the top of the world tree?

There is only one possibility, it already knows it, and this fear is engraved deep into the soul like a spider is afraid of a basilisk, and is passed down through the bloodline from generation to generation.

Haierbo did not create the basilisk. This kind of terrifying creature has existed since mythology. Haierbo only developed a method to artificially create the basilisk.

And Salazar Slytherin - he wizardized the basilisk's magic and turned it into a spell that could be released by the wizard!

"Kronacht!"

Mochir pointed his wand at a white mouse and read out the spell that the Dark Lord had left on the Practical Defense Against the Dark Arts.

Jack had already tried the power of this spell for him. On the night before Halloween, a first-year wizard relied on this spell to deal with the Voldemort Bat until the professor came over.

If it weren't for the fact that Jack is too young and the magic power in his body is still too thin, maybe Jack could even use this spell to kill the Voldemort Bat that night. You know, before this, people never knew how to do it. The only way to deal with those rare and pitiful dark creatures is to use the Patronus Charm to expel them, and only a few wizards can use the Patronus Charm.

Deep green light shot out from the top of the wand, and the white mouse immediately twitched and twisted in pain.

Mochir quickly controlled his magic output and turned the green beam into a fine thin line.

The pain of the white mouse gradually eased. It kept scratching everywhere on its body, as if it couldn't figure out where it was hurting.

From the perspective of Legilimency, Moqier vaguely saw a foot where the soul of the white mouse was slowly cut off.

And this is reflected in the body, that is, it has completely lost feeling in its feet.

This feeling is very similar to the petrification spell. The soul is cut open and no longer connected to the body...
