Chapter 283 You Are Indeed My Favorite Successor!
Dumbledore looked at the basilisk in Fish's hand through his half-moon lenses with his blue eyes full of surprise.
After the basilisk was shrunk, it did not become cute. It still had the same ferocious appearance. It held its head high, like a dead branch, and rested quietly on Fei Xu's hands, watching the sudden change in front of it. Huge human…
This kind of experience was only experienced during the period when it was just born.
Unlike Fish who directly ignored the basilisk's gaze, Dumbledore relied on the powerful magic power in his body to resist the basilisk's death gaze, so he could clearly feel that the basilisk was being attacked by Fish. After shrinking, the lethality of its gaze has been greatly reduced.
"This is really amazing..."
Even though Dumbledore was well-informed, he couldn't help but murmur in surprise at this time.
Because under normal circumstances, even if you break through the basilisk's scales that can resist most magic and use a shrinking spell to make it smaller, it is impossible to weaken the basilisk's power...
However, many strange spells have already appeared on Feishi, so it doesn't matter if there is one more.
"Albus, how's it going?"
ω
Fish's voice interrupted Dumbledore's exclamation. He stared at Fish's little face with his sparkling blue eyes. The more he looked at it, the more he felt that every aspect of this kitten was adorable.
"What do you want to do, you bad old man?!"
Fish was so frightened by Dumbledore's strange gaze that he quickly took two steps back, pinched the little basilisk in his hand, and pointed its head at him.
"Be careful Fish let Ouroboros bite you!"
(●ΦΦ●)
The basilisk in Fish's hand also opened its mouth in response, revealing its fangs that had become smaller but still deadly.
"hiss!"
"Oh ho ho ho... don't get excited, don't get excited."
Dumbledore was not going to try to experience the basilisk's venom, so he took two steps back and begged for mercy.
"I'm just marveling at your magic to shrink the basilisk." Dumbledore, who was worried that the willful kitten would really let the basilisk bite him, boasted unscrupulously: "You can actually shrink such a big basilisk." The basilisks are all shrunk!"
"Of course, nya!"
The little kitten immediately raised its head proudly and boasted without any shame: "Fei is so awesome!"
(●`●)
"Well, I can feel that the basilisk's gaze has indeed been weakened," Dumbledore returned to the topic, surprising Professor McGonagall and Snape who had their eyes closed on the side, but Dumbledore did not Ignoring them both, he continued: "But to be on the safe side, we'd better test it a few more times. Can you ask Ouroboros to cooperate properly?"
"No problem, meow!"
Fish also knew the importance of the matter and agreed without hesitation. Then he raised the basilisk in front of him and whispered to it in a low voice.
On the other side, Dumbledore borrowed Fox's power to teleport out of the secret room and brought back a few toads and mice from outside.
"Here, let Ouroboros try it."
Dumbledore placed the poor little animals in his hands in front of the basilisk, and their bodies immediately became stiff, looking no different from Mrs. Norris back then.
However, in Fish's perception, there is still some difference. Mrs. Loris's breath of life was so weak that it was almost impossible to detect, but these toads and mice can still easily feel that they are still alive.
After carefully examining the petrified animal in his hand, Dumbledore also discovered the difference.
Because if you want to help them recover, you don't even need to use the Mandrake resurrection potion, a powerful breaking spell can do it.
"Well...if it's just to this extent...Severus, Minerva, you two should be able to withstand the basilisk's gaze."
Dumbledore said to the two of them.
Professor McGonagall was still hesitant, but Snape couldn't wait to open his eyes. He jumped in front of Fish and looked at the little basilisk in the kitten's hand. He was so fast that Fish couldn't even catch it in time. Ouroboros took it back.
Fortunately, Dumbledore's judgment was correct, and nothing happened to Snape except that his face became a little paler.
Then, Professor McGonagall also opened her eyes and curiously looked at the little basilisk in Fish's hand.
"Although this is no longer life-threatening to people, most people can't block the Basilisk's gaze, so you still can't let you take him out... Can you further weaken the Basilisk's ability? "
Dumbledore looked at Fish expectantly.
But the little kitten wrinkled its little face and pursed its mouth, and he had no other choice.
︿
Shrinking Ouroboros to this level is already the limit. The other weakening spell he has mastered is only the defense-reducing [Elf Fire], which is of no use at all.
Although there was an option to cover the basilisk's eyes with a cloth, Fish had already asked Ouroboros that it would rather stay in the secret room and sleep.
Unlike ordinary snakes, the basilisk's eyesight is still very good. The feeling of losing sight is not pleasant, and having a piece of cloth on the head all the time is not a wonderful experience.
As for wearing glasses, it is even more meaningless. Let’s not talk about how to fix it. The basilisk’s sight cannot be blocked by glass lenses. Only through reflection can the basilisk’s sight be weakened.
"It would be great if you could control your abilities, meow," Fish raised Ouroboros in front of him, frowning and saying regretfully, "Or you can just close your eyes..."
ω
"Hiss, hiss..." (I don't like to move much anyway...)
Ouroboros stretched out his head, touched Fish's nose, and spoke to comfort him.
It would be best if he could follow Fish and wander around outside, but if he couldn't, it wouldn't matter to Ouroboros. After all, it had been sleeping alone in the secret room for so many years and was already used to it. Lonely……
Moreover, the kitten will come to visit him from time to time, which is much better than before. Ouroboros is very satisfied with his current life.
But Fish still had a disappointed expression. He finally saw the light of day, but the result was still a little bit worse. This made the cat very discouraged, and the cat's ears and tail drooped in frustration.
Professor McGonagall rubbed Fish's head, but it didn't help much, while Snape was thinking hard about whether there was any potion that could achieve a similar effect.
At this time, Dumbledore walked up to Fish, patted his shoulder and comforted him: "Don't be discouraged, there may be other ways."
"Meow?!"
∑(●ω●)
Fish's drooping ears suddenly became twitchy, and he looked at Dumbledore with burning eyes.
Although Dumbledore, a bad old man, sometimes bullied him, his abilities were still highly recognized by Fish.
"What can you do, Grandpa Albus?"
The kitten's level of immorality is no less impressive... He is indeed Dumbledore's favored successor.
"Grandpa Albus has no choice..."
Dumbledore imitated Fish's tone and paused deliberately for a moment.
However, after receiving friendly training from Mr. Riddle, Fish has become somewhat able to calm down.
The bad old man waited for a while and saw that Fei Xu did not take the bait. He smacked his lips regretfully and continued: "But I know an expert on magical animals. He may have a way."
After saying that, Dumbledore glanced at the little basilisk in Fish's hand, with a smile on his face.
"Although Newt has retired a long time ago, with Ouroboros here, he will definitely come."
As soon as Dumbledore said his name, Professor McGonagall and Snape knew who he was talking about.
Hogwarts dropout, honorary alumnus of Hufflepuff, author of "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them", and famous magizoologist-Newt Scamander.
