HP solves the mystery

Chapter 140 The Evolution of the Basilisk

Regarding the fact that Voldemort is looking for people everywhere, not only the British wizarding world knows about it, but also many countries in the United States, Germany, and Russia. After all, this battle is quite big.

Many wizards are eager to pay five hundred galleons for a clue they gave, but the latest clue was more than half a month ago. Even if you want to get it, you can't get it. If you falsely report a clue, there is a risk of being Avatar. No one is telling the truth. Dare to challenge.

In Malfoy Manor, Lucius was complaining to Narcissa that the effect of the Glory Potion had become less effective and could not even restore the luster of his hair.

Draco hid in the small room, holding a double-sided mirror and calling to Harry.

Although the phone worked well, the phone bill was paid by the adult. If he didn't pay attention, the secret would be exposed if he called a few more times, and he couldn't keep asking Dobby to take him out. There would be no good consequences if he was discovered.

"Harry, where do you think the godfather will go?" Draco held his fleshy chin and asked Harry with his big eyes blinking.

When Draco wasn't paying attention, Harry poked the double-sided mirror with his finger. Draco was so cute when he was a child, but why did he become so annoying when he grew up?

"Are you poking my face again?" Draco noticed his little move and his eyes widened in embarrassment, but the next moment he became proud again, "Huh, sir, I know I'm very charming, even You scar head has fallen at my feet..."

He looked like he was waiting for a mortal to kneel down and lick his ass. The cute Harry had blood on his face, so he started poking at the screen with his finger openly.

"Yes, yes, Master Xiaolong is the most handsome and cutest."

"Of course! My dad is the most handsome man in the wizarding world!"

"Yes, Xiaolong will also be a handsome man in the future."

The two exchanged business bragging for a while, which was actually Harry's unilateral boasting, and finally got to the point.

Draco briefly described how his father went to the snowy mountains to find someone and acted coquettishly with his mother as soon as he got home from get off work. Then he talked about the house in the city center.

"I lived at my godfather's house for a while, and he raised a white snake and a green snake..." Draco's eyebrows were tangled together, and he said uncertainly, "The white snake is Nagini next to Lord, and the green snake's name is..."

"Call Haierbo!"

Draco's eyes widened, as if asking how he knew.

Harry narrowed his eyes and smiled like a green-eyed kitten.

"Have you forgotten, I used my sword to kill the Stone Snake before, and Haierbo is like a smaller version of the Stone Snake." Harry said vaguely, fearing that anyone who was interested would hear, so they all used other things to refer to it.

"you sure?"

"Of course, it would be best if you could go to the school to confirm."

Although Harry had not become a Horcrux in his life, he was still good at snake language. He had heard the two snakes calling Snape several times and the topics of their chats.

Who is a good snake who would say that he wants to go to Hogwarts to eat the Thestral's wings, and also wants to go to the Forbidden Forest to find the Bowtruckle to bathe...

Draco nodded thoughtfully, chatted for a few more words, then hung up the double-sided mirror, straightened his hair a little, and went to find Narcissa in high spirits.

"Mommy, Mommy, tell me more about the history of Hogwarts!"

Anyway, the gossip that has spread privately in the British wizarding community in the past few months, the whereabouts of the person Voldemort is looking for is a mystery. Apart from knowing that he graduated from Slytherin and has black hair and black eyes, the other clues are that Lucius is looking for the person. He knew that Voldemort didn't want to hear the young man being talked about by others.

In short, the diligent Lucius told Voldemort with snot and tears about the difficulty of finding someone. The moment the lord nodded, he finally saved himself from the heavy work.

Bella and Regulus, who were temporarily recruited, looked at each other, and then glared at Lucius angrily.

Lucius didn't care about the resentment of several people and happily went to prepare for the meeting with the Ministry of Magic.

Regulus sighed helplessly, the thing he least wanted to face had come.

"What did you say, Mr. Grindelwald is here?" Tom was stunned for a while before he realized that this Grindelwald might be the former Demon King Gellert.

"Yes, Lord, he is already in the living room." The butler replied respectfully. Voldemort had previously ordered that if someone came from Germany, please come in directly.

Tom finished reviewing the documents in his hand, asked the butler to hand out the signed documents, and then walked out leisurely.

Garrett was playing with the teacups there, which happened to be the ones that Tom and Sev brought back from their trip to China.

Although Tom's memory is now broken, he knows their origins, and every time he sees these tea cups, he will doubt whether he has really been to China.

"A rare guest, Mr. Grindelwald." Tom sat down at the head seat elegantly with a fake smile.

Gellert glanced at him and said without changing his expression, "Mr. Gunter, I thought you would be punctual."

Tom was a little speechless. He promised to lend out Gunter's ring and locket, but he didn't get anything. Why was he so anxious?

"My last name is Slytherin. It seems that Mr. Grindelwald's memory is not very good. Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot that you are too old." Tom saw Gellert's face change slightly, and he was smiling. He replied, "There was a little accident. You can take the locket and admire it first."

Gellert originally didn't pay attention to the Three Holy Artifacts, but he couldn't bear Dumbledore's plea, so he could only come to Voldemort's manor. Seeing Voldemort's attitude, could he really discover the secret of the ring?

"Slytherin? I didn't see that name on the roster, but you really like that ring." Gellert asked back, holding the Elder Wand at his waist.

"Really? The Grindelwald family has nothing to do with this matter." Tom's eyes narrowed, and he took out the wand first, and the tip of the wand was almost pointing at his neck.

Gellert placed the Elder Wand on the table between the two of them, sighed and shook his head, signaling him not to be nervous.

He ignored the wand that was close at hand, took a sip of tea and said quietly: "You know the Three Sacred Artifacts, including my Elder Wand and the Potter family's invisibility cloak, so what's left in the end?"

What else is missing? Of course it’s the Resurrection Stone!

Tom sat back on the chair with an unchanged expression. So what if the black stone was the Resurrection Stone? Every head of the family would wear it. Not only did they not live forever, but many died early.

Not to mention that he also gave the ring to Sif, just...

Tom's eyes began to wander, and the young man's lips were as soft as jelly. Unfortunately, the kiss was too short.

"The Resurrection Stone originally belonged to Cadmus, but a certain generation of his descendants after his death merged with the descendants of Slytherin, and finally ended up in the Gaunt family... and became a black gem set in a ring..." Gai Lett glanced at Voldemort, who had his eyes narrowed and didn't know what he was thinking, and told about the changes of the Resurrection Stone.

Tom tapped his fingers on the table, and his mind fell back to the scene when he got the ring from his uncle Morfin Gaunt. It was obvious that they did not know that the black gem was actually the Resurrection Stone, and only used it as a symbol of the family.

The Resurrection Stone - the holy artifact that Dumbledore longed for most.

"A very good story." Tom tugged at the corners of his lips. He raised the tea cup at hand and took a sip. "Then what?"

Gellert looked at Voldemort deeply, and it would be boring to be too perfunctory.

"The Prince family has prescriptions that can make people live longer and herbs that enhance magic power." Gellert stroked the Elder Wand and said calmly, "Old Prince is in China now."

Tom frowned slightly. Is this the secret of Prince's medicine farm? No wonder Charles always hesitates when talking about these things.

The stronger the magic power, the longer the lifespan. If there is a prescription to extend lifespan, and if the magic power is enhanced during these times, it will undoubtedly lead to immortality.

"What's the use? There's no guarantee that anyone can refine the potion according to the prescription." Tom was quite sober, mainly because the magic book said that slices could lead to immortality, but he had tried it and it was a scam.

Gellert had expected that he would say this, so he took out a stack of experimental materials and handed them to him, and slowly spoke out a place name.

"The deepest part of the Borneo jungle."

In Peiping, China, in a room in the Baiyun Temple.

The temple owner of Baiyun Temple is named Zhang. He is a kind old man. His long white eyebrows look similar to those of the elders in Jiansanli. He looks very fairy-like.

"Little friend, I'm glad you can come." Guanzhu Zhang touched the beard on his chin with his skinny hand, and observed Xifu with his bright eyes, finally stopping at the pocket where he held the basilisk. "Won't you let the other kid out to meet him?"

Xifu was not surprised that Guanzhu Zhang knew about this. I was afraid that when he came to travel last year, the government had investigated many things clearly, so he silently took out the basilisk.

Just yesterday, he and Zhang Guozhi took a plane to Peiping, and then rested for a day. Today they planned to go to Fengze Garden for dinner, but they were called here.

"Um, Guanzhu Zhang, what's the matter?" Xifu asked curiously. He didn't see the old man last time he traveled, but he did see him this time.

Zhang Guanzhu didn't speak, he just sat on the futon and pinched his fingers quickly. He frowned and realized that things were not simple.

Zhang Guanzhu squinted his eyes, why is this person's birth date so strange, and this snake is so weird.

"Eh, Dragon Qi? This isn't right... And this snake, where did you, ahem, catch it and raise it?" He called out strangely and asked the young man in front of him.

Sifu was furious after hearing this, why did he kidnap her? This is the basilisk that justifiably signed the contract!

"London, where I live." He replied angrily.

Although the basilisk couldn't understand Chinese, he could feel Sifu's displeasure, so he straightened up and showed his fangs to threaten the old man opposite.

"Haha, slip of the tongue, slip of the tongue." Zhang Guanzhu chuckled, walked closer and observed the scales and teeth of the basilisk, and seemed very satisfied.

His skinny fingers touched the bulge on the top of the basilisk's head, and then touched the basilisk's body. There were also two bulges there, and a thought suddenly flashed through his mind.

Because of Sif's comfort and the fact that he didn't feel any ill will, the basilisk just let the old man touch him.

Sifu was so confused that he could always give up his time to eat delicious food just to let people touch snakes.

"Don't panic," Guanzhu Zhang seemed to notice Xifu's surprise and said slowly, stroking his beard, "I'll show you something good."

Zhang Guanzhu said as he pulled out a jade box, then unlocked the seal, and took out a shriveled flower petal the size of his palm from the jade box. He tore off the thumb-sized petals with great pain, and then carefully put it back and removed the thumb-sized petals. He held it in front of the Basilisk and shook it.

The basilisk straightened up after spitting out the letter. It now had the urge to swallow the petals. This feeling was the same as eating the ore in the forbidden forest. It turned its head and looked at Sif, not daring to step forward rashly.

Xifu frowned, not understanding what Guanzhu Zhang was doing, and looking at the eager eyes of the basilisk, it was obviously a good thing.

Zhang Guanzhu was stroking his beard with one hand, while the other hand was still teasing the basilisk with petals until the basilisk successfully swallowed it. After a while, he slowly explained.

"This is the petal of a blood orchid. It grows in Borneo. It has a dormant period of seven years and a flowering period of half a year. If you don't eat it for 24 hours or store it in a professional container, it will rot quickly."

Zhang Guanzhu saw that Xifu was indifferent and seemed not to know the purpose of blood orchids. He continued, "Blood orchids have a strong attraction to snakes and can promote evolution and transformation... Your snake is currently at the most critical step. If you don't eat blood, Orchid, I’m afraid its lifespan is about to end.”

When Xiver heard about Blood Orchid, he felt that it seemed a bit familiar.

But blood orchids are indeed magical. He can buy some from Guanzhu Zhang and give them to the basilisk.

"Master Zhang, can you give me the blood orchids in the jade box for my snake to eat?" Seeing the basilisk staring intently at the jade box, Xifu touched its head in a funny way.

Zhang Guanzhu shook his head and sighed, and said with great regret, "I'm sorry, our people managed to get some back with great difficulty... but they were all used as medicine primers to make medicine. This is the last one."

Xifu was speechless for a moment, forgetting that there was only one left. The snake he took out to seduce him was purely sick.

Since this was Zhang Guozhi's teacher, he couldn't say anything. He could only ask tentatively, "Can Guanzhang Zhang tell me where to pick this flower?"

Zhang Guanzhu's eyes lit up as he was waiting for his words.

"Deep in the jungle of Borneo...but there are many giant pythons there...Fortunately, it is the dormant period now. If it comes to the breeding season, there will be no return..." Zhang Guanzhu said something that was not important, and then said, "If we can do it as soon as possible, If you rush to Borneo, you can still pick the last batch of blood orchids.”

The more he listened, the weirder the expression on his face became. Images of giant pythons swallowing people and entangled pythons kept flashing in his mind. The hairs on his arms stood up. Isn't this something that exists in movies?

"Haha, forget it then, I'll buy it from you." Silver said haha, the giant python is really scary, what if the basilisk can't be defeated?

Guanzhu Zhang was a little disappointed, but still smiled and nodded.

"I understand your concerns, but your snake can't wait too long." Guanzhu Zhang was not trying to scare people. He motioned to Sifu to touch the bulges on the basilisk's forehead and body.

The basilisk didn't notice the bulge on its forehead. It was savoring the pure energy brought by the blood orchid. It felt more energetic than eating five ores.

"What is this? Is Herbo sick?" Sif raised the basilisk's head and looked left and right. The bulge was right in the middle, while the bulge on the snake's body was not that obvious.

"This is not an illness." Guanzhu Zhang looked envious, "This is a sign that he will turn into a snake."

Silver was confused when he heard this. Although the basilisk has lived for thousands of years, aren't the British dragons as lusty as lizards...

Zhang Guanzhu clicked his tongue twice, this snake has some Chinese blood, but it is not the national destiny of China.
