Chapter 114 Holy Ceremony (Modified)

In terms of subduing basilisks, the book reminds: Except for the fact that basilisks can communicate with Parseltongues and possibly compromise each other or even be controlled, no one can do anything about them. Therefore, they are not only dangerous to other people, but also to most dark wizards. It was dangerous, and Slytherin left it only to be controlled by his descendants.

But Allen didn't know whether Tom Riddle's soul fragment could be considered to have completely controlled the basilisk, because unlike that year, the basilisk didn't really kill any students this time. It would make sense if it was just a coincidence or two. , but this happened again and again, which made Allen have doubts.

I closed the book and thought quietly. Although the basilisk's skin has high magic resistance, obviously some physical effects can also work. In the original plot, Phoenix Fox blinded the opponent's eyes, and the basilisk was also killed by Harry Potter. It was stabbed to death with Gryffindor's sword. It should be subdued by violent means, and its natural enemy, the rooster, is also fatal to it.

However, its "death stare" is really embarrassing. Allen is determined to study it carefully. This is its most powerful thing. Anyone who directly looks into its eyes will die immediately!

Time flew by like water. In the library, when Alan was using a ruler to measure his homework for the History of Magic class, Harry, Ron and Hermione found him.

"Please wait a moment, let me take the measurements first." Allen looked up at Harry and the other three, and continued to complete the measurements at hand.

Professor Binns asked students to write a three-foot-long essay on "The Witches' Coven of Medieval Europe." Allen wrote eloquently for a long time, almost five feet! Alan put down the ruler with satisfaction, put away his homework, and then looked at the three Harrys.

Ron stared at Alan with envy. They were also assigned the same homework. After racking his brains, he was still eight inches short of the homework.

"Alan, Ron's wand has been used in the dark seven times." Harry quickly said to Alan.

"Yes, we came here to ask, when will you have time to help complete the rest of the wand making process?"

Hermione asked first, as if she was even more anxious than Ron. Ron looked at Alan longingly.

Allen looked at the bright moon hanging high in the sky through the library window, nodded and agreed: "Just tonight."

The three Harrys cheered a little louder, causing Mrs. Pince to look at them dissatisfied.

"I'll go back to get the tools and materials, and we'll meet on the lawn by the lake later." Allen began to pack up the things on his desk.

The moon is bright and the stars are sparse, and unknown grass insects are singing happily in the grass. Walking by the lake, feeling the gentle breeze, Allen felt calm, which was very beneficial for the upcoming holy ceremony, while the trio in the distance was obviously more excited.

"Here's the wand!" Ron handed the wand wrapped in black silk cloth to Allen.

Allen checked the wand carefully from inside to outside, and nodded with satisfaction. Although Ron looks careless, he is still very attentive to his wand.

Allen took out the wand core made of pure white unicorn hair and carefully inserted it into the middle of the willow branch. Miraculously, although the willow branches are not hollow, the braided unicorn hair penetrates the tree like a long white needle and is inserted into the center of the wand. Then, the top of the wand automatically seals, wrapping the core of the wand firmly in the willow branch.

Allen took out the spices and a pot of Star Lake water. He first gently sprinkled the water on the branches. At the same time, every word uttered from his thin lips turned into silver magic words and entered the wand. A white halo enveloped the wand.

Then, Allen lit the spices, and a smell of the ocean was carried to the noses of several people by the breeze. "This is made from the roots, stems, leaves and other parts of various marine plants. Burning it can take away the impure substances on the wand. It can also give the wand a boosting effect." Allen used this This production method is different from Ollivander's staff-making method, and comes from the production method in the manual of the Arab alchemist Jabbert in the eighth century AD.

Allen brought the wand over the burning incense and could feel that the burning essence sucked out all the impure things on the wand, and then these substances turned into black smoke and floated away in the breeze.

When there was no more black smoke floating out of the wand, Alan extinguished the flame and handed the wand to Ron, "Try it!"

Ron waved his wand lightly, and a stream of clear water spurted out from one end of the wand, shooting at Harry like a mischief, catching him off guard and being shot all over his face.

"Awesome! I have never felt that casting a spell is so easy!" Ron was amazed. In fact, he had never used a wand that truly belonged to him, and the performance was not much better than other wands. .

"Thank you for helping Ron make the wand, and for opening our eyes." Hermione glared at Ron who ignored the etiquette because he got the wand, and thanked Alan.

Allen smiled at Hermione and said, "It's okay. It's obvious that Ron likes this wand very much. You and Harry just need to remind him to take care of it regularly."

Harry wiped his wet glasses, "You should do this to Malfoy next time instead of me!"

On the way back to the castle, Ron held his new wand and couldn't put it down. He has been wearing the old robes left by his brothers, playing with their old toys that were broken by his brothers, and the pet he owns is also a mouse that his brother does not want. So it is such a wonderful feeling to have a new wand that is completely his!

After saying goodbye to Harry and others, Alan did not go to the library again. He wanted to go back to the dormitory to study the "Mysterious Animals Illustrated Book" he had recently borrowed. Although it does not record a more effective solution to the basilisk, the other contents in the book are still very vivid and interesting, and Allen is a little fascinated.

While Allen was immersed in the book, Benny flew in from the window, bringing a note with beautiful handwriting that Allen recognized at a glance as a letter from Firenze.

When I opened it and looked at it, I saw the letter read: "Tina said that the little bird and snake are about to break out of their shells. Take a look when you have time!"

Allen didn't delay, jumped up, and ran towards the Forbidden Forest. Sure enough, Firenze was already waiting for him at the entrance to the Forbidden Forest.

When Allen and the others arrived at Tina's nest, they happened to catch the little bird and snake emerging from its shell. I saw the silver bird snake egg shaking continuously, and then a blue snake-like bird emerged from the broken egg shell.

Tina shrunk her body and lovingly touched the bird and snake with her head, expressing her joy.

Gaia carefully touched the little bird and snake's head, whispered softly, and gave the little guy her best wishes.

Tina looked at Allen and pushed the silver eggshell left in the nest towards Allen. "It's thanking you, accept it!" Gaia looked at this scene with emotion and urged Allen to accept it for Tina.

These eggshells are all made of silver. Although they are broken, most of them are still relatively intact. Without refusing, Allen put the eggshell away. Although Allen is not short of money, it is very meaningful to be able to collect eggshells of birds and snakes.
