Hogwarts doesn't need a savior

Although he couldn't understand it, he could feel the hostility and appetite of this big guy.

Before he could finish his words, the ferocious snake head rushed over at lightning speed, revealing its bloody mouth and four sharp fangs.

An extremely fishy smell hit me in the face, and even the burning smell from the fire could not completely block it.

From all directions, six Chimera beasts that clearly contained special magic circuits stopped spitting fire, and their strong and powerful bodies launched a pincer attack on Lin En like divine weapons made of huge stones.

Lynn smiled helplessly and calmly pulled out his wand.

"Conversation is really unrealistic... Let's practice."

Beside him, the hovering floating gun lit up, and the symbol of Rune lit up in the dark corridor.

Chapter 140: Body Shape is the Romance of Transfiguration

"Bam—"

Before the basilisk arrived, the Chimera beast had already bumped into the shadow of Purple Shirt Rune.

The power contained in the impact made Bill tremble all over in the distance.

Their power has far exceeded expectations, and they are even much stronger than the real Chimera beast.

Even if he was just watching from a distance instead of joining the battle, he was sure that he could only deal with one at most, and might not even win.

He looked at Euphemia anxiously, but there was no sign of worry on her face, only a faint smile.

He was distracted for a moment, and when he turned his head again, Lin En had disappeared without a trace.

"!"

His eyes darted around in shock, finally fixing on the ceiling.

Lynn was hanging there upside down.

Dense floating cannons were spread all over the place, surrounding the aggressive underground palace guards.

"Shattered to pieces."

With a whisper, an ordinary white light passed before Bill's eyes, hitting the fallen Chimera beast squarely.

"boom--"

With a deafening explosion, the majestic mythical monster disintegrated into countless pieces, like a rain of gravel, falling on the basilisk and the other five puppets, making a "ding-dang-dang" sound.

A wave of unrest, a wave of up again.

Isa's symbol condensed in the air, and the floating guns locked onto the target and attacked at the same time.

Each beam of silver-white light has a power no less than that of fourth-level magic, and when they are combined into one, the power is even more astonishing.

In the blink of an eye, all the stone beasts were frozen, including the one that had been shattered and was struggling to reassemble.

Only the giant serpent monster was able to hold on thanks to its highly resistant scales, but it was also covered in frost. The solemnity and fear in its eyes became even more intense, and it subconsciously curled up.

"This permanent transformation is not good enough after all. It seems that it is still difficult for dark wizards to take that step." Lin En's tone was calm as if nothing had happened, and even had a hint of discussion. "Is it true that keeping the soul intact is the key?"

The floating cannons that had just succeeded gathered together instantly and returned to the bracelet space, leaving him alone standing on the ice.

Beside him are the Chimera ice sculptures that are ready to move. Even though they cannot move, the magic in their bodies is still supporting them to continue struggling.

But in front of the Ice Rune, it was futile.

Whether it was Chimera's shape, the strength of the black stone itself, or the transformation technique performed by the owner of the underground palace, they all seemed clumsy in front of Lin En.

He simply tapped his magic wand, and all six Chimera stone beasts, including the unfortunate one that had been crushed, calmed down at the same time.

The colorful rays of light attracted them and gathered the ferocious beasts together.

"Shh-"

The light was bright and dazzling, and a gorgeous giant snake came into view.

The hard scales, ferocious horns, and the glittering gems on the top of the head are another kind of snake-like 5X-level magical creature, one of the totems of Ilvermorny, the horned water snake.

The only difference is that its size is extremely large, almost comparable to a giant basilisk.

"Ssssssss—"

The surprise in the basilisk's eyes grew more and more intense, and even a little panicked.

Although it is not smart, it can see at a glance that the human in front of it is definitely not food that can be easily defeated.

A cold look flashed across his vertical pupils, and the command engraved deep in his soul was still taking effect even after thousands of years.

It attacked again.

The long-horned water snake was not to be outdone.

The two huge monsters suddenly got entangled with each other and fought hard to separate.

"Is this... this kind of Transfiguration the Chief's full strength?" Bill asked stutteringly.

"I guess so." Euphemia looked relaxed. "He always likes to turn into this kind of flashy big guy. It's very childish, isn't it?"

"Well...that's so cool!" Bill pondered for a moment, his eyes shining with excitement.

"what?"

"So this is how real Transfiguration is done!"

Looking at the long-horned water snake puppet that was fighting with the giant basilisk, and the basilisk whose eyes had been sealed by Lin En at some point, Bill's heart was pounding and he wished he could experience it himself.

"You guys..." Euphemia held her forehead helplessly, somewhat doubting her life.

She really couldn't understand this aesthetic of pursuing body shape, but seeing the two people on and off the court so excited, she didn't know what to say.

Understanding, respect...

-----------------

In just a few moments, the battle gradually became fierce.

Whether in terms of speed, strength or physical toughness, it is almost at the top of magical creatures, and even the giant basilisk that is beyond common sense has a clear advantage.

However, no matter how fiercely it attacked, the cunning water snake puppet was like a loach that could not be grasped, dodging left and right, leaving it with no place to use its strength. Instead, it was hit by its sharp horns all over its body from time to time, causing bursts of pain.

Having guarded the underground palace for thousands of years, it felt unprecedented anger, and a fear beyond spells and orders was spreading in its heart.

It was annoyed at first, but soon it discovered the problem.

It didn't even have the chance to bypass this tough opponent and attack Lynn directly.

The more powerful the dark magic creature is, the more likely it is to bully the weak and fear the strong beneath its brutal and evil nature.

As the battle progressed, even with its simple brain circuit, it could see that the wizard who sealed its eyes easily as soon as they met was not fighting a life-and-death battle with it, but had plenty of time to spare.

That's exactly what happened.

It’s not that Lin En didn’t try his best. This long-tailed water snake puppet, which was several times larger than its peers, was already the strongest transformation he could perform.

But controlling puppets is far from his limit.

He was testing the power of the basilisk and collecting information about it, accumulating material for his more realistic transfiguration - while hiding a more important intention.

The ice on the ground was still spreading quietly, climbing up the walls and ceiling silently, filling every corner of the corridor.

Until even the basilisk could sense a hint of coldness and strangeness, until Euphemia behind him asked softly.

"Aren't you going to hurry up, Lynn?"

“I’ll be right soon!”

He responded loudly, raised his wand slightly, and the long-tailed water snake instantly pressed forward aggressively and engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the basilisk.

The scales, muscles and rock shell collided head-on, and the long-tailed water snake's hard body could not withstand the basilisk's terrifying force.

Every collision would result in the snake's body being shattered and the black stone falling, which also gave the basilisk a glimmer of hope.

But before it could use all its strength to completely defeat this tough opponent, a biting cold wave hit it from the tail of the snake.

“Shua—Crackle, crackle”

The silver light spread like a tide, covering most of its body in an instant.

The thin but indestructible ice wrapped it, and in just a moment, the lower half of its body seemed to no longer exist, and it completely lost consciousness.

The terrified basilisk screamed towards the sky and saw Lin En rising into the air and the symbol condensed in front of him.

It did not recognize the letter, but it felt the fear from the bottom of its heart, from the depths of its genes.

"Isa!"

The hawthorn wood wand drew a shallow arc in the air, and a voice without any emotion reached the ears of the basilisk.

The next second, countless rays of light enveloped it, and then turned into countless frost and coldness, taking away all vitality.

The ferocious snake head still maintained the same expression it had in life: fear, despair and powerlessness.

Not only it, the corridor with a radius of dozens of meters was covered with ice and snow, and the cold air was everywhere, as if one had arrived in the remotest part of the north.

Under the terrifying power of rune magic, no matter how tenacious the basilisk's vitality is, it is of no use.

No matter how strong a beast is, it is still a beast.

Chapter 141 The Oldest Dark Wizard

"Huh...it's not easy." After wiping the sweat from his forehead, Lynn slowly landed on the ground and walked towards Euphemia and Bill.

"We are going to make a fortune now! Such a big basilisk! It is absolutely unprecedented!"

Before he had time to figure out the situation, Bill came running over laughing, not caring about the cold. He stood happily under the basilisk, looking left and right, grinning from ear to ear.

In order to keep this unprecedentedly large basilisk intact, Lin En had put all his strength into the attack just now.

The extreme low temperature completely changed the nature of the ice, directly taking the life of this horrible creature while protecting its extremely precious body to the greatest extent.

Scales, venom glands, fangs, and the pair of precious eyes - all high-value parts have been preserved, and each one is not only priceless, but also has irreplaceable research significance.

Throughout history, perhaps no other basilisk will ever grow to this size.

Even Lynn didn't understand why this guy could live for so many years instead of falling into stupidity like the basilisk in Hogwarts, which could not withstand the decay of its soul.

"They are just children who never grow up... Are these big guys so fun?" Shaking her head helplessly, Euphemia stepped forward, picked up the magic wand, and shouted, "Break into pieces! Shrink quickly!"

The tens-meter-long ice sculpture of a giant snake shattered, revealing its majestic body, but it had lost all life.

Then, the huge corpse quickly became the size of a palm. Even Bill, who was very close to it, couldn't see it clearly. The once huge monster disappeared into a small bag cast with a traceless extension spell, and there was no movement at all.

“We’ll make a unified valuation after we get back and calculate the merits based on the value… We did a good job this time.” Secretly calculating the value of the basilisk in her heart, she smiled a little more and even took Lin En’s hand.

Even if we remove Bill's share as a guide, this is still a huge haul that would make everyone jealous.

"Bill, I suggest that you convert part of your contribution into Galleons to supplement the family expenses." Holding the little hand that wanted to be pulled away, Lynn said with a smile, "You and Charlie have graduated for several years. You should share some of the family expenses. For example, buy a new wand for your little brother. He is still using Charlie's old wand, right?"

"Okay, I'll follow your arrangements. The wand is indeed a big problem, and then there's Ginny's robes - we should always give beautiful little girls more choices, right?" Bill nodded in agreement. He always accepted Lynn's suggestions in full.

This was what he had always thought, but although the job of a curse breaker paid well, the expenses were also high. In order to increase the success rate of the mission and ensure safety, he always had to use a considerable portion of his salary to purchase potions and magic props.

This is also the most common trick used by goblins who are accustomed to exploiting at every level - they who are in charge of Gringotts seem to really regard themselves as the masters of this wizarding bank.

In fact, this is also a way to bring disaster.

-----------------

After dealing with the strongest and only guard and turning him into future wealth, the road ahead will be smooth.

Apart from some ancient curses that now seem outdated, the increasingly wide road points straight to the end.

Bill finally found an opportunity to show his skills and showcase the results of his hard work in recent years.

While strolling in the garden, the three of them walked into a palace that seemed to be extremely luxurious in terms of the space used underground.

As soon as the footsteps landed, countless torches all over the wall lit up at the same time.

No lighting spells were needed anymore. This independent underground space instantly became as bright as day and was instantly filled with the breath of black magic.

Each flame was pure and extremely fierce, exuding a breath of destruction, but was magically restrained by the torch, without any leakage or destruction.

The magnificent dome, the gorgeous murals and reliefs, and the sculptures standing on the walls like knights.
