Chapter 113 Mysterious Animal Illustrated Book (Modified)

Returning from the exhaustion, the Ravenclaws who had played happily all night fell into sleep, and there seemed to be a sweet aroma of candy in their sleep.

But then, the hottest topic at Hogwarts was "The Chamber of Secrets and the Heir." The students talked about nothing but the attack on Mrs. Norris all day long. Filch's performance kept everyone's mind on this moment: he often paced up and down the place where Mrs. Norris was killed, as if thinking that the attacker would return.

Allen saw him scrub the writing on the wall with Mrs. Skoll's All-Purpose Miracle Stain Remover, but in vain; the writing still gleamed so brightly on the stone wall.

Allen really didn't understand why he didn't ask the professors for help, and Professor Dumbledore let the line stay on the wall. For little wizards, this is equivalent to being reminded every time they pass by: the secret room has been opened, and the school is in danger!

Perhaps the professors are too busy to think of this? Whatever the reason, out of caution, Allen did not act without authorization. At present, this wall has attracted the attention of countless teachers and students. He does not want to push himself to the forefront of public opinion in the school, so he must not act rashly.

However, seeing Filch struggling to erase those words and looking full of frustration, Allen still couldn't help but feel pity.

Of course, there must be something hateful about poor people. If Filch is not patrolling the crime scene, he will stare at two red eyes, secretly hide in the corridor, and then suddenly pounce on the unsuspecting students, trying to make excuses Put them in confinement, say they are "panting too loudly", or "smiling".

No matter how tense the school atmosphere is, for the professors, they can do whatever they want in their daily teaching work, but the workload is much more than before. Allen speculated that the professors probably felt that the students were impetuous, and they wanted to use the heavy course load to make the students lose their mind to think about it.

However, this didn't help much. The time the students spent in the library did increase, and the number of students also increased sharply. However, the books everyone was looking for were books related to the Chamber of Secrets and the history of Hogwarts besides homework.

Allen was the last to leave the library every day. Before leaving, he habitually cast a spell to help Mrs. Pince arrange the tables and chairs in the library.

Mrs. Pince told Allen, "All the stocks of "Hogwarts: A School History" that you have read before have been borrowed." She said, cleaning the bookshelves in the restricted area with a big feather duster, "Register to borrow People have been waiting for two weeks. This book has never been more popular, because it is so thick! Hope these little wizards will take care of these books and don't scribble."

Allen touched his nose with a guilty conscience. He liked to draw while reading. Although he would cast spells to remove the handwriting after reading, he was still a little embarrassed to hear Mrs. Pince say this.

"Ahem," Allen cleared his throat, avoiding the dust that was thrown by Mrs. Pince, "No, with the spell you cast, no little wizard would dare to risk being hit by such a heavy book." The danger of chasing and scribbling." With the thickness of "Hogwarts: A School History", a hit on the head should be no different from the damage caused by a brick!

Mrs. Pince looked at Allen suspiciously. If she hadn't been beaten before, how could she know so clearly?

Allen shrugged, took out the book he wanted to borrow, and handed it to Mrs. Pince.

"Illustrated Book of Mysterious Beasts?" The librarian, Ms. Pince, was a curmudgeonly thin woman who looked like a malnourished vulture. She held up the book, checked the condition of the book carefully against the light, and then skilfully registered the information about the books Alan borrowed.

Push the registration book to Alan and ask Alan to sign his name. "Be careful, this book is a first edition, very precious. Dumbledore thinks that since it is not dangerous, it should be open to little wizards!" Mrs. Pince frowned,

Obviously not very appreciative of the principal's decision. "But don't scribble, let alone break it!" Mrs. Pince repeatedly told Allen, her thin body stood upright, her sharp eyes were like eagles, staring at Allen.

Allen repeatedly promised that he would never damage or lose the book, so Mrs. Pince let Allen leave with the big square booklet in his arms.

In fact, Alan wouldn't want to take it back and read it if he could, but this book is not suitable for reading in a quiet library. Because it not only has animal patterns, but also uses magic to collect animal sounds in the book. Specifically, if there is any more magical place, Allen needs to read and explore.

Although Mrs. Pince put the book high and hid it in the corner of a remote bookshelf, Allen read it one by one according to the order of the bookshelf, and he would naturally turn to this book.

After returning to the dormitory, Allen couldn't wait to open the book before Edward came back to sleep. When he opened the book, the first insert connected to the hard cardboard cover drew countless large and small sea snakes. Perhaps the author loves the image of the sea snake very much! Allen shrugged and continued to read down.

This is followed by a white insert with the author's name and the date of publication printed on it. The author of this book turned out to be a French wizard, and the author responsible for the text part was Jean-Baptiste de Panafier. In charge of the picture part is Camille Jean Vessard. The publishing house was the Day Roller store that started in 1831.

Allen opened the book and looked at it with relish. This book divides magical creatures into six aspects: "Dragon and Snake, Quadruped Beast, Winged Beast, Sea Beast, Half-Human Beast, and Hybrid Beast". There are not only text introductions, but also the form of a natural history illustrated book, which not only shows the overall picture and internal structure of animals: their fur, bones, muscles, internal organs, horns, even beards and feces, but also how to understand them. Reproduction, growth, predation, which area they are active in, which species they have, and which skills they have.

The first thing Allen did was to turn the book to the page of the basilisk. The first thing I saw was the text introduction, which was not much different from books like "Where Are the Fantastic Beasts?" But on the page of the illustration, the birth process of the basilisk was drawn on the top, and a big snake covered in dazzling green was on the bottom. There is a bright red feather on it. It opened its mouth wide, revealing its long fangs, and stared at Allen with its big yellow eyes.

As soon as Allen's eyes met it, he felt his whole body stiff for a few seconds. A few lines of words emerged from the book, "As long as anyone's eyes touch its eyes, they will die instantly."
