Capítulo 141: Chapter 141: Basilisk’s Contact Lenses
Boom!
Accompanied by a Parseltongue voice, the faucet above the sink emitted a dazzling white light and then spun rapidly. Soon, the sink began to move sideways, revealing a huge hole, which was actually a very thick water pipe.
Lockhart stepped over the stagnant water and looked at the dark hole of the pipe. With a flick of his wand, a ball of light quietly emerged and entered the hole. Suddenly, the nearby dark water pipe was brightly illuminated. Lockhart could clearly see the dirt on the sides of the pipes and the darkness beyond.
After examining it for a moment, Lockhart waved his wand and outlined a very complex and mysterious rune. "Life Detection!"
As the runes were formed, a light green mist filled the water pipe with the wave of his wand. As Lockhart continued to infuse magic power, the light green mist continued to emerge and poured into the depths of the water pipe. Lockhart closed his eyes slightly, feeling the feedback brought by the spell.
Some very subtle breaths of life, likely belonging to cockroaches and insects, were present but could be ignored. A slightly stronger breath of life, although numerous, likely belonged to rats and other small animals, and could also be skipped. After a moment, a very powerful breath of life appeared, and the corners of Lockhart's mouth curled up.
Finally found you, Basilisk!
Since he was going to enter the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets, the first thing he needed to do was ensure his own safety. He didn't want to reach his destination only to have a basilisk pop up behind him. That scene would be very embarrassing. Lockhart had planned to conquer the basilisk from the beginning. With Parseltongue, it is relatively easy to control the Basilisk.
With his thoughts turning, Lockhart confirmed the powerful breath of life. With a thought, he waved his wand, and silver light enveloped the surroundings, sweeping away the nearby sewage while creating an illusion to cover up any abnormalities. Then, under the action of a Transfiguration spell, a clean chair was transformed. Seeing this, Lockhart sat directly on it. After observing that there was no abnormality, he found a suitable position to lean on.
Then, "Astral body projection!" Lockhart's soul jumped suddenly and appeared outside his body again. After a brief look around, he looked at the body leaning on the chair and the dark green Parseltongue Book next to it. With a gentle wave of his hand, the Parseltongue Book rose, floating next to Lockhart's soul. After everything was sorted out, Lockhart nodded with satisfaction.
The peculiarity of the basilisk is that anyone who looks into its eyes will immediately face the risk of death or petrification. If Lockhart were to go there physically, he really wasn't sure if he could avoid the basilisk's gaze. What an injustice it would be if he accidentally glanced at the basilisk and was killed. On the contrary, if he is in the state of the soul, with the special characteristics of the soul shell, he can at least withstand the gaze of the basilisk and avoid it in time.
Thoughts flashed, Lockhart's soul carried the dark green Parseltongue Book and flew towards the powerful breath of life he sensed. A moment later, Lockhart saw a huge snake's tail in a corridor. It was instantly clear that the basilisk had been found. Thinking of this, Lockhart waved his hands and controlled the opening of the Parseltongue Book.
"Hiss" (come to me)
A hoarse, gloomy, weird, and evil voice spread from the Parseltongue Book all around. Soon, Lockhart saw the basilisk's tail slowly disappear. After a while, a huge snake head appeared in front of him. To Lockhart's satisfaction, this time the basilisk kept its eyes closed, so he didn't have to worry about the risk of being petrified. Although the soul shell can protect itself, it is naturally best if there is no danger.
Immediately afterward, he used the Parseltongue Book and made a sound again.
"Hiss." (Lie down)
After hearing the sound coming from the Parseltongue, the Basilisk seemed to feel something, and it took a while to react. In Lockhart's eyes, the basilisk's head began to slowly lower, and the snake's brain was close to the water pipe. Seeing this, Lockhart was slightly shocked. Opening the Parseltongue Book again, another voice came out.
"Hiss. Hiss" (Let go of your mind and don't resist)
After the sound disappeared, Lockhart slightly sensed the level of resistance in the basilisk's heart. After finding that it was indeed significantly reduced, he began to wave his hands, outlining a dense pattern of pale golden runes. To be precise, it was a magical contract written in runes. Soon, a magical contract was quietly formed. With Lockhart's forceful push, the contract flew into the basilisk's mind.
"Hiss." (Accept the contract)
At the same time, Lockhart once again ordered the basilisk through the Parseltongue Book.
Buzz!
After the contract floated into the basilisk's mind, Lockhart noticed that the creature wanted to resist, and its huge body twisted subconsciously, causing quite a stir. But with the influence of Parseltongue, the resistance was greatly weakened. He couldn't help but lament the influence of Parseltongue on snake magical creatures, which was really terrifying.
After a moment, Lockhart felt the feedback that the contract was successfully signed, and the corners of his mouth curled up. Now, this basilisk truly belonged to him. With Parseltongue control, problems could still arise. After all, Lockhart could use Parseltongue, but there was no guarantee that other wizards couldn't also use it.
Therefore, Lockhart's attitude towards Parseltongue was to use it as a transitional tool or special magic. Only when the basilisk signed a magical contract could he influence or even control the basilisk through the magical contract. Lockhart would then be truly relieved. In any case, the priority of magical contracts is definitely higher than the priority of Parseltongue. After all, the magical contract acts directly on the basilisk's soul.
Thoughts flashed, and Lockhart used the contract to remind the basilisk to continue to maintain its current action—lying down and closing its eyes. After feeling the basilisk's aggrieved but compliant mood through the contract, Lockhart nodded slightly.
Then, Lockhart looked around the surrounding environment and branded a magic mark on the surface of a nearby water pipe. Then he quickly flew towards his body. After a while, Lockhart's soul came out of the water pipe hole and saw his physical body leaning on the chair. With a sudden pounce, the soul returned to the body. Slowly opening his eyes, Lockhart looked at the water pipe hole, feeling the magical contract he had just signed and the basilisk's current state, and nodded slightly.
Immediately afterward, Lockhart held the Sling Ring and outlined a circular portal with sparks. Through teleportation, he looked at the basilisk lying on the water pipe on the opposite side with its eyes tightly closed. A faint smile floated on Lockhart's face. Stepping out of the portal in one step, he came to the Basilisk. Lockhart reached out and took out two large transparent lenses.
This was the magic item that Lockhart had specially refined for the Basilisk—contact lenses. The basilisk would definitely follow him in the future. But the creature's indiscriminate killing method could easily cause problems. Including him, the master, if he accidentally saw the basilisk's eyes, he would be finished. Therefore, for safety reasons, Lockhart added an insurance measure: contact lenses for the basilisk. When he really needed the basilisk for an indiscriminate attack, he would just remove the contact lenses.
Lockhart compared the size of the basilisk's eyes and slightly modified the size of the contact lenses. He waved the wand close to the basilisk's eye. After feeling that it was almost done, Lockhart passed the contract and asked the basilisk to slowly open its eyes. During the entire opening process, Lockhart could clearly feel the magic of the basilisk's eyes being absorbed by the contact lenses, so he nodded.
After the basilisk fully opened its eyes, Lockhart made the contact lenses completely fit into its eyes.
