I swung a sword at Hogwarts

His voice became cold and hoarse like a snake.

"Tell me, Basilisk, who is your master?"

John, who has the blood of the basilisk flowing in his body, is not afraid of the power of Snake Eyes at all.

The basilisk's body paused as it heard Parseltongue.

It posed an uncertain question: "Are you the master's descendant?"

Apparently, the master of the basilisk is also a Parseltongue.

This is a talent that needs to be inherited.

The basilisk didn't think too much about it and thought that the Parseltongue was the descendant of its master.

"Great descendant of Herpo, the basilisk bows to you."

As it spoke, the basilisk's big head crawled on the ground.

The big orange eyes were like lanterns, staring straight at John.

The Great Herpo?

If John guessed correctly, then Hailbo should be the despicable Hailbo.

But in the mouth of the basilisk, his meanness became greatness.

John confirmed his previous guess.

He said, "Tell me, where is the most precious treasure of Herbo?"

John did not deny the basilisk's guess and let it lead the way for him.

The snake stayed in the pyramid until it died and even became Herbo's pet.

If there is anyone who knows more about the pyramids, it can only be the Basilisk, except Herbo himself.

"Follow the instructions of the great descendants of Herpo." The basilisks had no doubts at all, or perhaps they all had simple brains.

Just like Slytherin's basilisk, even after thousands of years, it still only obeys the commands of the Parseltongue.

You can call it loyalty, or you can call it stupidity.

The basilisk resisted the urge to eat the little guy and turned around to go behind the human-faced snake.

"Sure enough, those treasures piled up on the cliff like garbage are not treasures."

John is a skilled and courageous man, following the basilisk that can swallow him in one bite.

John stopped as he passed the statue of a human-faced snake.

He looked up at the human-faced snake and seemed to feel that the statue's movements had changed a little?

"Specialis Revelio"

He used magic to test it, and with a wave of his magic wand, the human-faced snake did not change at all.

Seeing this, John put his thoughts aside and headed in the direction the basilisk was leading.

After he passed by, the human-faced snake opened its closed eyes, and its eyes, like those of a living creature, stared straight at John's back.

The basilisk came to the bottom of the huge hourglass, and a hole appeared under the hourglass.

The pit was connected to a tunnel, which was extremely smooth inside, and the basilisk's big head drilled into it.

John grabbed the basilisk's tail and his body was carried into the pipe by the downward force of the basilisk.

The basilisk swam quickly in the pipe.

This pipeline is connected in all directions and actually runs through the entire pyramid.

John felt that this should be Helbo's defense system, used to facilitate the passage of the basilisk.

What Helbo wanted was to let the basilisk use these pipes to deal with the invaders, but he didn't expect that John would use these pipes directly to go to Helbo's lair.

The basilisk swam away for an unknown amount of time, and when it came out of the pipe again, the scene before their eyes had changed from the glorious scene of the giant statue.

The place in front of me is not big, but it seems to be a treasure trove.

There isn't much stored here.

It wasn't big either. After entering a basilisk, the place was narrow enough for only John to pass through.

Walking into the study, John saw a black leather-wrapped book placed in the most conspicuous position, which exuded an evil aura.

"Greek."

John did not touch it, but carefully opened it with his wand.

It recorded many evil curses created by Herbo, and John also saw the terrible curse.

"How to create a Horcrux."

Looking at the method recorded above, John scoffed at Helbo's method of splitting the soul, but he had to admire his imagination and wisdom.

"In the fields of time and soul, he is unprecedented."

This wizard, who was active 100 years ago, possessed extremely high intelligence. He was an all-round enhanced version of Voldemort.

...

Chapter 527 Hello, Horcrux

John continued to walk through this treasure house.

He had also been into the alchemy room next door, and the smell of mud came out from it.

The crucible contained potion from who knows how long ago, which clung to the bottom of the pot like a layer of mud.

John couldn't tell what kind of potion this was, after all, it had been left for too long.

There are also some other materials, but due to time constraints, those materials cannot be preserved for a long time like gold.

Once touched, things turned into dust.

"Helpo is conducting experiments here."

John stared at the red table that was stained with blood and could not be removed. More than a hundred magical creatures were dissected on it.

He picked up a tooth and, from the shape of its fangs, deduced that it belonged to a vampire.

"He's studying Bloodborne?"

John's eyes narrowed, and he had to admit that Helbo's research direction was surprisingly similar to his.

However, the reason why the other party did this seemed to be that they wanted to perform biological transformation through the blood curse.

The two have different purposes.

"A Greek wizard who came to Egypt and settled down there."

John remained skeptical about Hailbo's actions.

Coming out of the alchemy room, John saw the basilisk curled up in hunger.

In addition to the black book, the treasure house also contains a golden scale, a key-shaped golden scepter and a mask.

"Golden Mask."

John picked it up, and it was something the Pharaoh of Egypt took with him after his death.

It is inlaid with gems and colored glass, and is a mask with clear eyebrows and eyes.

This is in line with Herbo's theme in the pyramid.

There are only these four items stored in the treasury.

John picked them up one by one, and when he got to the black book, he felt a familiar feeling on it.

Using his wand to turn a page, John stared at the evil curse recorded inside.

A magical force tempted John to learn the knowledge inside.

It is like a Pandora's box that triggers disasters and is deadly dangerous.

"Unfortunately, you don't know that I am the same as you."

John raised his lips, stared at the black book and said, "My attainments in the soul are no worse than yours, Hailbo."

He looked up at the basilisk and commanded in Parseltongue: "Leave this room."

"As you command, great descendant of Helpo."

The basilisk turned and crawled into the pipe.

"The soul up there is weaker than Voldemort."

John's palm slowly moved across the black book from a distance.

This is a book with a soul, just like Voldemort's diary.

This is why this book has been preserved until now.

That soul fragment preserves the book from corruption.

John waves his wand, "Blasting Curse"

Red light exploded on the black book.

The next second, the black book was intact.

John tapped his wand and exclaimed, "You still have such strong defense after a thousand years. You are worthy of being the number one among the top ten dark wizards in the world."

The Black Book is immune to magical damage.

What interested John was not just its identity as a Horcrux.

More importantly, this book records Helbo's wisdom throughout his life.

"Ferula"

With a flick of the magic wand, the book was quickly wrapped like a dumpling.

John picked it up and used several isolation spells in succession.

Hailbo's plan was clever.

You can't come to this room if you are not a good wizard.

The more outstanding the wizard is, the less likely he is to abandon the knowledge recorded in the book, and he will be taken out.

"I don't know how many Horcruxes Herbo made."

Wings grew out of John's back, and he flapped them gently, flying up from the pipe through which the basilisk entered.

Shuttled through the pipes, John left the treasure house and reappeared under the huge funnel.

The basilisk was extremely hungry; it had no idea how many years it hadn't eaten.

John glanced at the basilisk after he landed. This big guy was also loyal. No wonder both the despicable Herpo and the Slytherins liked to use the basilisk to guard the door.

Basilisks have a long lifespan and are very loyal.

"It's time to take the potion."

John pulled out a soul potion from his makeshift bag.

He opened the bottle, but this action was discovered by another person in the scene.

John was about to drink the soul potion in one gulp, but he noticed that the curved human-faced snake was not at an appropriate distance from him.

"It...seems to be closer."

The '?' was somewhat deformed, and the face of the human-faced snake, which was originally facing outside, had turned to face John.

Putting the soul potion close to his lips, John saw that the human-faced snake's body was completely twisted and it was staring at John motionlessly.

John drank the soul potion in one gulp as quickly as possible, and the old face of the human-faced snake appeared in front of John.

"Reducto"

The white light hit the upper body of the human-faced snake, and the huge body of the human-faced snake began to collapse.

The next second, time flowed backwards on the human-faced snake, and the broken body returned to its original appearance in the blink of an eye.
