The Witcher: The Journey to Transcendence from Marvel.

Chapter 41: Mr. and Mrs. Weasley's Invitation

Every part of the basilisk, this mysterious and powerful creature, contains incredible value.

The extremely tough snake skin is a magical armor given by nature. It is tough enough to resist the invasion of magic and is the best choice for making advanced protective equipment.

Snake blood is an extremely rare and precious material. Its unique composition can produce incredible magical effects.

Although the quality of basilisk meat is often overlooked in legends, it is actually a rare delicacy. Its meat is tender and rich in nutrients, and can bring unexpected benefits to the eater.

However, the most coveted thing about the basilisk is undoubtedly its pair of snake eyes that sparkle with mysterious light and its pair of extremely sharp fangs.

The basilisk's corpse is simply a priceless gold mine.

Wes carefully removed the snake's eyes, being extremely cautious as if he were treating the most precious treasure in the world.

He carefully placed them into a specially crafted magical container that would keep the snake eyes alive so that they could be transformed into a powerful magical item in the future.

As for the pair of fangs, after careful consideration, Weiss decided to forge them into a pair of daggers.

Although the style of the wizard using a dagger seems a bit strange.

But in the universe, there are wizards holding greatswords and fighting orcs, so anything is possible.

In the process of dealing with the basilisk, Weiss had to face huge challenges. The basilisk was huge, and collecting materials from its body was a difficult task.

Wes's forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat. After several hours of hard work, he finally collected the most valuable part of the basilisk.

After all this trouble, he was covered in stink.

After completing all the collection, he returned to the dormitory and immediately went to the bathroom. He took a hot shower, letting the warm water take away the day's fatigue and the odor on his body.

He changed into clean clothes, and when he returned to the office, he found Dumbledore and Lucius waiting for him quietly at the door.

"Has everyone from the Ministry of Magic left?" Weiss asked softly.

Dumbledore nodded slightly.

Weiss opened the door and invited the two inside.

"Hagrid can be cleared of suspicion." Dumbledore sat casually on the stool as if he was back home, his beard twitching, and he looked very happy.

"The stupid politicians finally did the right thing."

While Wes was happy for Hagrid, he also did not forget to mock Fudge.

"The basilisk has been dealt with. The next thing is how to deal with the Horcruxes." Weiss's eyes met with Dumbledore's, and he looked at Dumbledore and asked a new question.

Dumbledore took out the diary and placed it gently on the table.

"Ordinary weapons and magic cannot damage Horcruxes."

Privately, Dumbledore tried several times, and each attempt made him realize more deeply the power and difficulty of the Horcruxes.

"I have some unusual weapons right here."

Without hesitation, Weiss took out the basilisk's fang and stabbed it hard into the diary.

The sharp fangs instantly pierced the diary, making a crisp sound.

Then the diary began to burn, emitting black flames. The flames seemed to come from hell, emitting an evil aura.

Tom's image loomed in the flames, his eyes filled with murderous intent and hatred, as if to devour the entire room.

However, both Weiss and Dumbledore appeared remarkably calm.

Lucius's reaction was completely different, his body trembling uncontrollably. Although he had decided to betray Voldemort, the fear deep in his heart was still deeply rooted.

If he went undercover with Voldemort with his mentality, he would probably be seen through immediately.

Lucius's performance made Wes worry whether he was capable of doing the job.

Weiss's questioning look was too obvious for Lucius to notice. "I'm just a little..." Lucius tried to explain his condition, a hint of panic in his voice.

Wes didn't say much, he just took out a ring from his pocket and threw it to Lucius.

The ring was gorgeous in shape, inlaid with a sapphire that exuded a deep glow. Even a picky person like Lucius could not find any flaws.

"What is this?" Lucius asked in confusion.

Weiss explained, "This is a ring that helps you hide your thoughts. It has a similar function to Occlumency. In your current state, if you go to Voldemort, I'm afraid you won't last a day."

Lucius put the ring on immediately and said, "I'm just not used to it yet. When I..."

Weiss didn't expose him, he knew that Lucius needed time to adapt to his identity and to overcome his fear of Voldemort.

"Voldemort must have created more than one Horcrux. We must destroy as many Horcruxes as possible before Voldemort returns," Weiss continued.

"Yes, Tom is an extremely proud and conceited man who strives for perfection in everything. This diary was made when he was a student, so it is obviously not 'perfect'."

As the person who knew Voldemort best, Dumbledore shared the same view as Weiss: "He must have made other Horcruxes, and the carrier of the Horcrux must be something worthy of his status."

With Weiss's reminder, Dumbledore had some ideas.

But there was no need to rush. After winning Weiss over to his side, Dumbledore felt less pressure and became more comfortable.

"Tom, you won't get a second chance this time."

Half a month later, the report in the Daily Prophet shocked the entire wizarding world.

《Shock!! Hogwarts has hidden a monster for a thousand years!》

The wise minister led the charge, fearless of danger, and eradicated the basilisk!

"..."

Newspapers were filled with praise for Cornelius Fudge, portraying him as a hero, while the contributions of Dumbledore and Weiss were overlooked.

Moreover, most of the reports on Dumbledore were accusations, scolding him for being too old and short-sighted to know that there was such a dangerous monster in the school, which was irresponsible to the safety of students.

As for Weiss, the person who actually solved the basilisk, the report did not mention it at all.

Most people were confused by the reports, and some parents even sent Howler letters to Dumbledore expressing their anger.

Some parents are planning to take their children away as they are afraid that their children will study in such a dangerous school.

However, all these matters were settled by Dumbledore one by one, and Weiss was amazed by the methods used by Dumbledore.

No wonder Fudge was so wary of Dumbledore. Even though he had already taken the position of Minister of Magic, Fudge was always worried that Dumbledore would kick him down at any time.

A person who is stronger, more prestigious, and more capable than you, regardless of whether he has ideas or not, what matters is that he has the ability.

Hogwarts was even more lively. All the students were talking about the basilisk and Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets, which became a hot topic among them after dinner.

Their enthusiasm even exceeded their interest in Quidditch, and the once bustling Quidditch field became much quieter.

There were even brave students (Gryffindor's little lions) who formed a team to search for the Chamber of Secrets, but Dumbledore did not stop these children and even encouraged them to search.

Now, all the little wizards have joined in, they are always full of curiosity and desire to explore.

The ones who were most concerned were actually the Slytherin students. If Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets was found by other houses first, they would want to find a piece of tofu to hit themselves to death.

But Dumbledore secretly changed the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets to the headmaster's office.

The students were fooled by the old fox Dumbledore. They searched everywhere on campus but could not find the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets.

The students' enthusiasm continued until Christmas.

This year's Christmas is a little special for Wes because he received an invitation from Mr. and Mrs. Weasley.
