I swung a sword at Hogwarts

As long as all the mechanisms are destroyed, it is equivalent to having no mechanisms.

The magic wand dragged the white light of lightning, and as John swung it, all the mechanisms were triggered.

The white light shattered all the mechanisms and the road became safe.

He walked under the guillotine mechanism, of which only the axe handle was left, and reached the other side of the cliff.

Picking up the snake eye gem, the statue in front of you is similar to the human-faced snake outside the pyramid.

The human face of the statue is an old man with a long beard and a purple hat.

The wrinkles on the face are carved into the statue's face.

This is a standing human-faced snake. Unlike the "8" shape outside, the human-faced snake is like a straight magic wand, standing in front of you.

Behind the statue is a huge hourglass.

But just like the one in John's hand, this huge hourglass was in tatters, and the sand of time on it had long since disappeared.

After studying the giant hourglass for a while, John discovered something else.

It was the skeleton of a huge snake.

Its physical body has disappeared, but judging by the situation, this snake should have been guarding here.

It's just that the time was too long, so the snake's life was exhausted and it turned into a pile of bones.

"Looking at its skeleton, it seems to be a basilisk."

John stroked his chin and circled the bones.

A basilisk of this size might live longer than the one at Hogwarts.

But even the basilisk has died of old age. How many years ago did the owner of this place exist?

"As far as I know, there is only one other wizard who raises a basilisk besides Salazar Slytherin."

John muttered to himself and looked up at the human-faced snake.

In the list of the world's top ten dark wizards, there is a guy who is as evil as Axtis.

It can even be said that he is more evil than Axestis.

Because he created a magic that seemed extremely evil to everyone.

Horcrux.

Pure killing, splitting the soul as a means of achieving immortality.

In John's opinion, that wizard was a stronger version of Voldemort.

Even someone as powerful as Voldemort needs to learn from him in order to survive.

He is also the oldest dark wizard.

A man who used toads to hatch eggs and created the basilisk.

The first person to create a Horcrux, and until John's time, no one could be sure of his death.

He created many evil curses that still affect the wizarding world today.

These are not the pyramids of Egypt.

It belonged to an ancient Greek wizard.

Someone who can be ranked first among the top ten dark wizards in the world.

His active period was earlier than that of the Hogwarts Big Four and the three brothers.

"Despicable Herpo." John looked at the statue and slowly said the name.

If the vile Hercule's Horcrux had not been destroyed, he would have nearly achieved immortality.

...

Chapter 526 Hello, Basilisk

"Now we need to use the hourglass again."

John's tail hooked the soul lamp, and a silver-white soul flew out of the soul lamp.

When it is poured into the hourglass, a golden Möbius strip flows.

John flipped the hourglass and the scene around him changed rapidly.

The place that was once a ruin has now returned to the state it was a thousand years ago.

The fragments that had fallen off the human-faced snake statue began to return to the body.

The broken giant hourglass was repaired bit by bit.

As time went by, the hourglass was repaired and golden sand gathered at the bottom.

John's hourglass was shining, and he was staring at the sand of time that filled the hourglass.

Now he only needs to turn it to make this ancient tomb, which has been sleeping for thousands of years, return to that era.

"This large time-turner would affect a space large enough to cover the entire pyramid."

John walked around the hourglass, reached the bottom, and tapped it with his wand.

"Overturned."

A little magic drags the bottom.

The huge hourglass made a long creaking sound.

The part supporting the middle of the hourglass seemed to be unable to hold on and turned over with difficulty.

John stared at the hourglass, which took ten minutes to turn.

Finally it turned upside down completely, and golden quicksand flowed from the overturned top to the bottom.

The first grain of sand of time fell to the bottom, and a golden rhythm emanated from the hourglass.

This wavelength quickly covers the entire pyramid.

At the same time, the surroundings began to change.

First is the human-faced snake, whose color has faded after being left there for many years.

And now, color has reappeared on the human-faced snake's body.

The uneven stones on the ground became smooth again.

Gold is spread on the ground, making the whole space golden and dazzling.

A rumbling sound came from the bottom of the cliff.

From the lowest point, a hint of gold emerged, followed by a continuous surge in its rise.

John looked and saw countless treasures.

The craggy rocks of the upper tier turned golden, cascading down into cascades of sand.

Sands of Time.

The pyramid as a whole changed. In the corridors that ran across the pyramid, figures appeared and flashed by as if they were played upside down.

"It plays back at a rate of one year per second."

John's expression became serious. This was indeed a huge move.

"It's an ambitious design to reshape the entire pyramid."

The time converter allows people to be teleported to a certain moment in time, but this one actually moves the pyramid from a certain moment to the present time anchor point.

John had to express his admiration for such attainments in time magic.

The reshaping is ongoing, measured by the time it takes.

John came to a surprising conclusion.

This place has existed for more than a thousand years.

What an ancient existence this is.

As the last sharp golden top fell upside down on the dome, John could finally get a glimpse of the true appearance of the pyramid.

The pyramid, built of infinite treasures and the sands of time, reappears on earth as time goes by.

The body of the human-faced snake gradually bends to form a '?' shape.

John has no shortage of Sands of Time. The Sands of Time stored here are many times more than that in the Ministry of Magic.

A large amount of time sand gathered to form a special area.

John put down the Snake Eyes Gem, and the scene in front of him did not change.

This special area freezes time, and now one can see scenes from thousands of years ago without the snake eye gem.

The mutually repelling sands of time flow through the air like a river.

John threw the broken time-turner inside.

Just like drawing water, when the time converter was taken out again, it was filled with the sand of time.

John achieved his goal.

He looked up at the human-faced snake and approached it.

The curved human-faced snake is even more bizarre than before.

John had a strange idea.

“It’s moving.”

The moment the thought came into his mind, John heard a noise.

A hissing sound came from behind the human-faced snake.

John understood what was being said.

"Hungry……"

Then, a basilisk that was even larger than the one in the Chamber of Secrets at Hogwarts slowly poked its head out.

This is a snake monster from thousands of years ago. As it constantly sheds its skin, it is more than twice as large as its peers.

The terrifying body slid on the ground, making a terrifying hissing sound.

John stared at the basilisk with its head sticking out, and he thought of the snake skin he had touched when he fell before.

It seems that they are all the shed skin of this snake.

This snake is older than the one at Hogwarts.

As for the cause of death, John guessed that it was because all the creatures in the pyramid were eaten.

He had previously discovered gold-colored parts on the basilisk's skeleton, probably because the basilisk accidentally ate the treasure.

Smelling the food, the basilisk slowly turned its head.

Its movements were slow and it seemed non-threatening.

But basilisks don't need excellent speed, they have eyes that can kill their prey.

At that moment, the basilisk's orange-yellow eyes met John's.

Normally, the prey falls to the ground dead and the basilisk feasts on it.

But the fact is.

The basilisk widened its eyes and asked in confusion, "How strange, why is he okay?"

The huge body gradually swam out, and the basilisk didn't understand why John was okay.

This size was more intimidating than the skeleton John had seen.

It is no exaggeration to call him the snake king.

John looked up at this time, and a pair of slender vertical pupils, different from the dragon's pupils, appeared in his eyes, making him look more gloomy.

He said, "Hello, Basilisk."
