Harry Potter's Bastard

Unlike Solim's composure, Sylna was speechless when she saw the serpent slipping out of the statue's mouth. Solim noticed Sylna's nervousness, and he patted his sister on the shoulder, "It's okay, trust me, you know, you'll be my translator later, don't worry, it's ...... Well, he shouldn't attack us. "

"Are you sure?" Silna was finally better, but her voice was still shaky.

"Come on, let's go over and meet this amazing living fossil. Solim licked his lips and pulled Sylna towards the basilisk. "Keep your eyes on the ground, don't look up yet. Solim reminded them that if the basilisk hadn't closed his eyes when he first came out, they would meet the basilisk's eyes...... That would be too unjust.

Barrow was hissing and talking to the basilisk, and Sylna whispered to Solim from the side, "Barrow told him to close his eyes." And still asking him...... Hungry or not...... This big guy won't eat us, will he?"

"Okay, the Basque won't hurt you now, you ......" Barrow turned his head, and what he saw was the two brothers and sisters looking down and counting the ants, "...... You can lift your head up. "

Solim glanced out of the corner of his eye to see that the basilisk's eyes were indeed closed, and then patted Sylna and told her that she was fine.

"Barrow's snake language hasn't passed level 4 yet, so Sylna you can translate it later. Solim said as he looked at the basilisk.

"Huh, what?" Sylna understood everything else, but that level 4 didn't understand anything. "What level 4?"

"Ah, it's nothing, let's ask him first. Solim nudged Sylna forward.

If someone who doesn't understand the situation sees this, they think that Solim, an evil wizard, is going to feed a cute maiden to the basilisk to eat.

"You...... Hello......" Sylna said nervously as she clasped her hands, she was too close to the basilisk behemoth, and the basilisk did not smell good.

Solim slapped himself in the face: "My good sister, you speak English, not snake......"

It's no wonder that Sirna, Solim has seen that this basilisk called Basque is nearly 30 feet long, or even longer, what is this concept? Even if most of the basilisk's body is in contact with the ground, even the part that stands up is 3 to 4 meters high, which is too oppressive for Sirna, not to mention Syrna, in fact, Solim's heart is also a little panicked, this has nothing to do with courage, this is a kind of instinctive fear of human beings in the face of huge creatures that are absolutely lethal to humans.

While Sylna and Basque were hissing to and fro, Barrow was talking to Solim. The usually taciturn Slytherin ghost was a little talkative at this point.

"It's been a long time since the Basque Country has been so happy. "Every time he wakes up from his slumber, I can only have a simple conversation with him, and your sister is doing a great job." "

As a sapient creature, the basilisk naturally has a personality as well. Locked in a dark secret room here, all the basilisk can usually do is sleep, eat when he wakes up, and go back to sleep after eating, it's pitiful to think about.

"Huh, wait, where did he get his food?" Solim thought of a question.

"I regularly call the elves from the school to send them over, but usually when the Basque is about to wake up, the Basque does not come into contact with any living creatures when he wakes up. "

"That's really pitiful, I can only stay here for so long, except for sleeping and eating. Solim thought about it for a moment, and it was unbelievable that this basilisk hadn't gone crazy.

Solim, who had been keeping an eye on Syrna, found that her sister had let go, and she was no longer scared now, even ...... Somewhat...... Excited?

"How's it going?" asked Solim, who walked a few steps to Sylna's side.

"Basque said no one had spoken to him for a long time, except the one last time. Sylna looked at her brother, "Who could that be?" and then looked at Barrow, "Basque is definitely not talking about Barrow." "

"Voldemort, he opened the Chamber of Secrets when he was sixteen years old, and he also caused the death of a student. Solim explained.

After listening to Solim's words, Sylna hissed and chatted with the Basque again, and Barrow floated over at this time and said, "I'll go find the elves and ask them to bring some food, and the Basque hasn't eaten for a long time." "

With that, Barrow floated away through the wall.

"Bang!" Solim was startled by a sudden loud noise, and he quickly looked over to see that it was Basque's tail beating the ground.

"What's wrong?"

"He seemed very angry," said Sylna, "just when I told him about the man who opened the secret room. "

"Okay, you can translate it for him. Solim said.

Under Sirna's translation, Solim was surprised to find that the basilisk named Basque had a lot of intelligence, and judging from the fluency of Syrna's translation, Basque's thinking was surprisingly clear, which was extremely rare for a cold-blooded animal.

It's not discrimination or prejudice. There are not many intelligent magical creatures, like centaurs or goblins, they have almost no barriers to communicating with human wizards, saying almost, because no one can understand the chatter of the centaurs, about the stars, remove these, there is no obstacle to the communication between centaurs and humans. But whether it's centaurs or goblins, they're all warm-blooded.

There are also some cold-blooded animals that are intelligent, such as the mermaids living in the Black Lagoon at Hogwarts, they have their own language, but the mermaid language is extremely simple, which makes many concepts unclear, and the eight-eyed giant spiders living in the Forbidden Forest, they are the same, not so much that they are intelligent creatures, Solim thinks it is more accurate to call them intelligent creatures.

But the Basque Country gave Solim a completely different feeling than these cold-blooded animals. If you don't think about language and appearance, this basilisk that has lived for thousands of years is exactly like a person in snakeskin, of course, Basque is a bit simple, but Solim believes that this is entirely due to the environment, he has been here since he was born, he has no contact with anyone except Slytherin, and he is still sleeping most of the time, which makes this millennial basilisk have little chance to gain all aspects of knowledge.

The poor fellow had only come out of the Chamber of Secrets three times, and one of them was made by Voldemort. On two other occasions Solim did know, once in the thirteenth century and once in the fifteenth century, which he had seen in a wizard's codex, but the exact reason was not explained. However, Solim didn't care much about these trivial questions, and wanted to ask these things, and there was time in the future, and the main thing now was how to make sure that Basque would not be controlled by Voldemort again, or rather, Riddle's control.

Heir of Slytherin - it's more than just a title. When Barrow returned, he explained to Solim in detail what the so-called "heir of Slytherin" meant.

Slytherin has two meanings, one refers to the Slytherin House at Hogwarts, and the other refers to the founder who founded the house, namely Salazar Slytherin himself. So what exactly is this so-called heir inheriting? is it the Academy, or is it the will of Slytherin himself, or something?

According to Barrow, this heir should inherit the will of Slytherin himself to protect the school, and the basilisk was left by Slytherin to protect the school, but the 16-year-old Riddle went against Slytherin's will, and it can even be said that he went against it.

Since it was to protect the school, Slytherin definitely had to leave something for his heir, and he left not only the basilisk, but also a contract. Before Hogwarts became Hogwarts, the castle belonged to the Slytherin family, and no one knew the castle better than Slytherin himself, and the secrets of the castle, the defenses in the castle, and the spells that activated them, all of which he left to his heirs. With this contract, the heir can enter the headmaster's office without even saying a command, and this heir has absolute control over the Basques, which is why in the original book Riddle had no fear that Harry, who is also a parseltongue, would control the basilisk.

Hearing that Riddle had absolute dominance over the basilisk, Solim's face was hard to look at.
