Chapter 1096: Basilisk's True Name

"What? How did you do it?"

Although Maca was very surprised that Luna could actually know what the basilisk was thinking, it was by no means beyond his expectations.

Yes, he knew from the very beginning that he was not the "genius" that people praised. And almost all the achievements he has achieved so far are based on a certain amount of luck and unremitting efforts.

But as he used to say, the journey of magic is not only long, but also complicated. With only one person, even a whole life can only complete a small part of it.

Therefore, when those who are more talented than him in a certain aspect also make efforts. It must be a matter of time before he catches up with and surpasses Maca McLean.

No, in recent days, Luna and the others have also been continuously absorbing knowledge, which has been gradually transformed into nutrients that promote their growth. And precisely because they gradually found their own direction, the pace of progress naturally became smoother and smoother.

Of course, it's not just Luna who gradually revealed her personal talent.

For example, Harry, who is still accumulating strength in the Room of Response, may get a breakthrough improvement on another path the moment he takes a new step.

Yes, even Neville took his chances with extraordinary courage.

Thinking about it this way, apart from Ron who hasn't had any outstanding performance so far, Hermione has the least improvement in personal strength.

But in fact, she actually belongs to the same type of person as Maca—their common feature is intelligence and hard work, and neither of them will lose to anyone else in these two points.

It's a pity that after Maca somewhat had to choose the thorny path of "ancient runes", even Hermione plunged headlong into this deep pit that was forgotten in history.

Going back to the past and exploring the future, both of these things are undoubtedly extremely difficult. If you want to ask how far the two of them can go in the future, I'm afraid even they themselves don't know very well.

"Come on, come and talk to me carefully, is it Legilimency?" After hearing what Luna said, Maca greeted her immediately, "I didn't hear it just now, um, even There is no snake language... When you use Legilimency, you don't need to look into the other person's eyes?"

Obviously, Maca is very aware of how talented he is, and has long accepted it frankly. He knows that if he wants to continue to improve, it is also very necessary to humbly ask others for advice.

Unfortunately for him,

Before that, he was almost immersed in research by himself, making up for the lack of talent with continuous efforts. Because after Dumbledore gave up his pick, he no longer had anyone he could ask for advice at any time.

Therefore, when Maca discovered that Luna seemed to have stepped ahead of him in a certain aspect, he was more surprised.

For this reason, he even temporarily put the matter of obtaining information from the basilisk to the second place.

However, in the face of Maka's repeated questioning, Luna tilted her head and pondered for a while, then shook her head slightly.

"Ah! It's Legilimency..." she said, "but I can't tell you exactly how to do it. I only know that when I read a sentence in a book once, I followed it. I tried it...then, Legilimency got out of control, which made me 'hear' other people's inner voice from time to time."

At the end, as if she remembered something, she added by the way:

"By the way, that was the first day I discovered that we have been living surrounded by magic power."

Maca listened, and couldn't help asking:

"So, which sentence is it?"

"Purity of heart adds to purity of spirit, from which comes the root of the spell."

Maca actually remembered this sentence, because he had read many books in the school library at least once. And after hearing Luna mention it, he subconsciously said to himself:

"This is the preface to the third volume of "Exploration and Textual Research on Spiritual Magic"...Well, the spirit deduces the rules, and the broken rules form a spell...Is it 'purity of the heart'?"

Maca can understand the perception of magic power from this sentence—although in terms of his own talent, he may not be able to do it.

But if you want to say, what this sentence can make the wizard understand in terms of Legilimency, the reason for it seems not so clear.

"Perhaps it means that the purer a person's heart is, the more he can resonate with other people's spirits?"

Maca remembered that it was mentioned in some ancient texts that "the consciousness of living beings is derived from the vibration of the spirit".

This may be a metaphor, or it may be a fact, but Maca knows that the theory of spiritual resonance derived from this theory is indeed the basis of Legilimency.

However, such a statement is still too rough, and probably only someone with a higher talent like Luna can unconsciously comprehend something from it!

Maca, who made up his mind to go back and study it carefully, finally put aside these vague magic theories, and lifted the arm entwined by the basilisk.

"Luna, then try to ask her, what is the reason why Hai Erbo made her cause trouble everywhere?"

"Oh, let me try..."

Luna nodded, then looked at the basilisk that raised its head and swallowed the snake letter and said:

"Hey, how are you?"

The basilisk turned its head sideways, and its scarlet tongue trembled rapidly—it was blinded by Maca's magic, and it was obvious that it could only rely on its tongue to sense the surrounding situation.

After a while, she neighed softly, but she didn't know what she said.

On the opposite side, Luna blinked her eyes inexplicably after hearing this.

"Maka, it doesn't seem to understand what I said... just now it just said something to itself, saying that it wants me to stay away from it."

"Well?"

Maca frowned slightly, then waved his hand.

"Don't speak with your mouth... Can't you hear what she is thinking? Try to use the principle of Legilimency to communicate with her with your thoughts. Just imagine that your voice can sound in her heart. "

When Maca and Luna were trying and working hard together, Candice and Kevin couldn't help but look at each other.

They were obviously not interested in the snake on Maca's arm. No, it would be better to say that the two were a little worried that it would suddenly open its mouth and take a bite from Luna who was getting closer and closer.

After all, that snake looked quite ferocious and terrifying, with dark green scales and gray markings on its body, no matter how you looked at it, it looked like a very poisonous snake.

But at the next moment, they saw the snake shrank its neck suddenly, as if something suddenly stimulated it.

However, compared to the doubts and uncertainties of the two children, Maca at this time gave birth to a joy. Because he knew that after Luna failed several times in a row, she finally conveyed her thoughts directly to the Basilisk's heart.

Sure enough, the basilisk immediately stretched its neck, and the hissing sound suddenly became rapid. Even though she couldn't see the surrounding situation, she knew that there was indeed a voice that passed quietly in her mind just now.

Not long after, Luna suddenly raised her head and said to Maca:

"It said that it didn't know who Hai Erbo was—but it believed that the 'Hai Erbo' you mentioned should be the wizard who was with it some time ago. Well... it also said that the person called himself 'Hai Erbo' crawler'."

"crawler?"

Maca was stunned for a moment, but after thinking about it, he quickly thought of a possibility.

He knew that "Helbo" in ancient Greek meant reptiles, and when Hailebo introduced himself in Parseltongue, he used the language of his hometown.

Of course, these are actually not important. What Maka wants to know now is what Haierbo will use her to do.

"Luna, ask her, how did Hai Erbo turn her into a basilisk?"

"become?"

When Luna heard this, Dang even felt a little puzzled.

Seeing that Luna didn't seem to know that the snake was supposed to be a living human being, Maca couldn't help hesitating—is it really good to let her know such a cruel sensory thing?

However, now he still has to rely on Luna's power to communicate with the other party. Letting Luna know this fact seems to be a necessary prerequisite.

After a little hesitation, Maca said calmly:

"Well, in fact, she seemed to be a human—and she seemed to be a woman. It was Hai Erbo who somehow turned her into a basilisk."

Without a doubt, this is a very shocking reality for anyone.

Not to mention anything else, just looking at the expressions of the two children behind Luna, you can tell that normal people would be afraid of this kind of weird magic.

However, Luna seems to have a strong ability to accept these strange things. Although she inevitably showed a surprised expression, she soon showed a dazed expression again.

"Oh!" she said, "No wonder I always felt that many of the things in its heart seemed to be spoken by humans... Well, is it similar to Animagus?"

Regarding Luna's natural guess, Maca said casually:

"No, it's almost completely different from Animagus...I just did a blood test on her, and it's obvious that she has completely turned into a basilisk. And I think, she may never be able to regain her human body again gone."

"Oh, this is really unfortunate news!" Luna couldn't help sighing, "It is said that snakes can't taste food, so... she will never be able to enjoy desserts again."

As he was speaking, Maka suddenly lowered his head when he saw Luna, and looked at the basilisk with its head raised high.

"Maka, she's talking again! Ah, she says her name is... 'Meledex'?"
