Chapter 286: Basilisk's Contact Lenses

Newt Scamander is worthy of being the most senior magizoologist today. After some research and testing, he quickly found a way to further weaken the basilisk's death stare without causing too much impact on its vision.

This method is to use the wing membrane of the curled wing demon as the main material, make it into an eye mask similar to transparent glasses, and then cover the eyes of the basilisk, which can theoretically weaken its vision.

Many magical creatures have good resistance to magical power, but most of them are not transparent. After removing the green shell, the bat wings of the curled wing demon are only a thin layer, which is almost translucent. After processing, it is very easy to make an "eye mask" that does not affect vision.

Moreover, the curled wing demon itself is also very resistant to magic. When Newt was young, he used a curled wing demon to resist the spell fired by the first generation of Dark Lord Gellert Grindelwald.

So on the whole, the bat wings of the curled wing demon are the most suitable material.

After selecting the material, Newt immediately used his connections to send a few curled wing demon wings.

Then, with the help of Dumbledore, Professor McGonagall, Snape and other professors who had attended Fish's birthday party and had not left, they quickly made a pair of huge light blue translucent eye masks... or it should be more appropriate to say contact lenses.

"Fish, you come and put them on the eyes of the basilisk."

Dumbledore handed the finished contact lenses to Fish.

"Okay meow!"

(●ΦωΦ●)

Fish took the contact lenses for the basilisk and immediately waved excitedly to the basilisk, which had returned to its original size and was coiled up, saying: "Ouroboros, get down quickly meow."

The basilisk stretched its head in front of Fish as he said, and then let him cover its eyes with two layers of soft light blue film.

"Meow hahaha! Ouroboros' eyes have turned green like Fish's, meow!"

(●≧≦●)

Fish looked at the basilisk's eyes that had turned green under the influence of the contact lenses and laughed happily.

Dumbledore stepped forward and cast a fixing spell on the two layers of film to prevent them from falling off.

"The effect is not bad. The power of the basilisk's eyes has indeed weakened."

Dumbledore felt the power of the basilisk's eyes after wearing contact lenses, and nodded with satisfaction. Although the weakening effect was slightly worse than that of Fish's animal shrinking spell, the basilisk had not been shrunk yet.

So he turned to Fish and said, "Now it's your turn to shrink the basilisk and see if it will have adverse effects on other people or animals. If it no longer petrifies people, I will allow you to take the basilisk out of the chamber."

"Great, meow!"

(●ΦωΦ●)

Fish cheered first, and then asked the basilisk, "Ouroboros, are you feeling uncomfortable?"

"Hiss."

The basilisk shook its head, indicating that it didn't feel much.

After all, there is a transparent film outside the eyes of snakes, and they have no eyelids and cannot move their eyeballs, so covering them with an extra layer of film will not have much impact.

After getting Ouroboros's answer, Fish stepped forward and cast [Animal Shrinking Spell] on it. After a while, the basilisk turned into a small snake about half a meter long, quietly entwining around Fish's arm.

"All right."

Hearing Dumbledore speak, Newt, who had been impatient for a long time, immediately opened his eyes, and at a speed that was not in line with his old age, he quickly jumped to Fish's side and placed the toad that had been prepared in front of the basilisk.

"It's not petrified!"

The toad in his hand was stared at by the basilisk. Although it was frightened and dared not move, it still maintained its vitality. Newt Scamander immediately shouted loudly in surprise.

Dumbledore also nodded with satisfaction, and at the same time felt a little annoyed.

If he had known that he could solve the problem of the basilisk in this way, he would not have proposed to renovate the women's bathroom and those abandoned rooms. Now that the words have been spoken and the school board has been notified, this wronged money must be spent.

"Does that mean Fish can take Ouroboros out later?"

(●ω●)

Fish didn't know why Dumbledore suddenly looked at him strangely. He looked at Dumbledore with surprise... Professor McGonagall beside him asked impatiently.

"Don't worry, Fish." Dumbledore put away the regretful expression on his face, then waved to Fish and said, "We still have some things to confirm."

"What's the problem? Ouroboros can't hurt anyone!"

(●`Д●)

Fish stared at the bad old man unhappily.

Dumbledore was unmoved. After all, the basilisk was too dangerous, and it was never too careful.

"First of all, can the basilisk break free from your spell and restore itself to its original size?"

"Meow?"

The kitten scratched his head in confusion, then said confidently: "Fish doesn't know!"

Dumbledore: "...then ask him."

After communicating with the basilisk, Fish replied: "No, meow, Ouroboros said it can't feel that it has been hit by a spell, and it doesn't even have a clue how to resist it, meow."

The kitten shook its ears proudly.

"Fix's spell seems to be very powerful, meow!"

(●`●)

"Well," Dumbledore nodded with satisfaction and asked, "How long will your spell last? Will the basilisk suddenly change back?"

Feishu can answer this.

"No problem, meow. As long as Fisch doesn't lift the spell, Ouroboros can stay like this forever, meow... Feishu is awesome!"

(●ΦωΦ●)

"Very good," Dumbledore took out his wand, "One last question, I need to test whether it will be difficult to dispel your spell. You tell the basilisk not to resist, I won't hurt him."

"Ouroboros...can you meow?"

Fish held the little basilisk and told it Dumbledore's request.

"Hiss, hiss..."

The basilisk spit out the message, took the initiative to climb off Fish's body, swam up to Dumbledore, raised its head, and looked directly at him, obviously dissatisfied with this request.

Dumbledore smiled nonchalantly, then raised the wand in his hand and tried more than ten different spells on the basilisk, including but not limited to the Stop Curse, the Expansion Curse, the Restoration Curse, etc...

But none of it worked.

The effect of the animal shrinking spell is to reduce the damage caused by the animal's natural attacks.

In other words, the basilisk's death eye and snake venom effects have been weakened, but its defense against spells is still the same as before, and the spell system of Curse Stop is different from the Druid spell used by Fish, so it is not His animal shrinking spell cannot be dispelled.

"That way it's basically no problem."

After some attempts, Dumbledore put away his wand.

What he was worried about was that if he encountered Voldemort again or his Horcrux in the future, the basilisk would suddenly start attacking other people under the other party's command. Now it was confirmed that after the basilisk was reduced in size, only Fish could reduce it. If you recover, don't worry too much.

At most, the "contact lenses" on its eyes fell off, petrifying some of the people.

As for the venom of the basilisk, this has been solved long ago. Dumbledore had already asked Fish to use a special magic material to seal the venom-transmitting openings on the basilisk's fangs.

Therefore, even if Ouroboros was instigated by Voldemort one day, it would only be two small holes poked in Fish's body, and there would be no danger to his life.

"You can take Ouroboros out of the secret room now, but be sure not to restore him to his original state while outside."

Dumbledore solemnly instructed.

"Great!"

The editor-in-chief has learned so badly!

And I'm going out of town in the middle of the month... I guess it's a bit hesitant to update more.

There has been a lot of static electricity recently, and I was shocked several times when I was petting my cat. Zhongyuan is blocked by the hair, so it doesn’t matter if it doesn’t touch the ears or something like that. If I touch it, it will think I’m hitting it, and it’ll just turn its head and give it a smack... I’m too Difficult! QAQ
