The curse disappeared immediately, and the basilisk emerged from the cave. It raised its head and opened its mouth, revealing two ivory-colored fangs.
Rolf sat on a rock and asked, "Who did you just curse?"
"We didn't say anything... Wizard, you heard wrong... Hiss... don't accuse us wrongly..." The basilisk lowered its head and sobbed loudly.
"If you don't love me, please don't hurt us! Our eyes have been blinded by you. You won't hurt us anymore, right... little wizard?"
"Why do you always like to talk about us?" Luofu frowned.
"It's us... hiss." The basilisk said: "There are two souls in our body... It has been whispering to me... encouraging me not to be afraid... talking to me when I am lonely..."
"Can a basilisk also suffer from schizophrenia?" Rove had only heard of human schizophrenia and its many personalities, but this was the first time he saw a basilisk with such symptoms.
But after being locked up in a secret room for more than nine hundred years, schizophrenia doesn't seem so difficult to understand.
"You don't understand, little wizard... hiss." The basilisk raised its head, pointed its blinded eye socket at the young man, and said with a humanized sneer at the corner of its mouth:
"You don't understand anything..."
"Then I can understand the discussion." Luofu looked directly at the Basilisk: "I want you to answer some questions for me, you know?"
"Okay." The basilisk coiled its body and said, "As long as we know, we will tell you."
Luofu thought for a moment and asked, "When were you born?"
"Many years ago... There was no Hogwarts at that time, so I followed Slytherin. Every time a wizard dueled, he would take me with him..."
"So, the other three of the Big Four know about you?" Luo Fu asked in surprise.
"Of course." The Basilisk made a hoarse voice: "Slytherin is a Parselmouth. It was most normal for him to use his talent in that chaotic era."
"When was the secret room established?" Luo Fe raised his eyebrows.
"When Hogwarts was first established, Slytherin built a house under the Black Lake, a room where no one could disturb him from studying magic...it was the Chamber of Secrets."
"Do the other people know about this room?" Luo Fe asked curiously.
"I know, but I don't know the exact location." The basilisk snorted in its throat and said, "Wizards study magic and are very taboo about being disturbed by others. They also have their own secret magic houses to prevent outsiders from knowing."
"But one night, Slytherin suddenly told me that he was leaving Hogwarts and might never come back again... and asked me to wait for his successor in the secret room..."
"How to determine the descendants of Slytherin?" Rove asked curiously: "Those who find the secret room are counted?"
"Of course not. A wizard with Slytherin blood and a Parseltongue, or a wizard holding his wand..." The Basilisk sneered: "Not like you."
Rolf asked: "Slytherin's wand?"
"A wand that uses our horn as the core and the wood is snakewood." The basilisk hissed: "But we have never seen a wizard come to us with that wand."
Rolf silently noted it in his mind, and continued to ask: "Did Slytherin leave any other orders? For example, after the successor opens the Chamber of Secrets, he asked you to purify the school and eliminate Muggle-born students?"
"No!" the basilisk snorted: "As long as a few students are lost, the school will be closed immediately. How could Slytherin give such a stupid order?"
Rolf narrowed his eyes. Who spread the rumor that Hogwarts' long-standing secret room monsters were purged of Muggles?
"What is the task Slytherin leaves you?"
"Teach Slytherin the dark magic." The Basilisk hissed: "Teach those extremely powerful magics to his descendants."
"Which wizards have you taught?"
"Corvinus Gaunt and Tom Riddle, they have become very powerful wizards." The Basilisk said in a bewitching voice:
"Child, Slytherin's magic is beyond your imagination... You will become extremely powerful... more powerful than any wizard... We can tell you how to live forever... if you make a Horcrux..."
Luo Fu was a little wary. He stared at the basilisk and said:
"Is this how you deceived Tom Riddle back then? When he was only sixteen years old, you taught him a lot of black magic and helped him make Horcruxes?"
"It's not a deception... He was originally a born bad species... But he has indeed become stronger, you can't deny this..." The Basilisk said in a hoarse voice:
"Child, don't you want to be strong?"
"Didn't you say that I'm not the descendant of Slytherin?" Rolf leaned back and said, "Why are you so keen on teaching me magic?"
The basilisk raised its head with its eyes poked out, and said in a humble tone: "We just want to... survive."
"But it's a pity that I have my own powerful method." Rolf shook his head: "I'm not interested in Horcruxes and Slytherin's dark magic."
The basilisk was a little disappointed.
It's very disappointing!
"But... I am very interested in the creation of basilisks." Luofu took out an egg and frowned:
"According to records, the birth of the basilisk was hatched by placing an egg under the body of a toad. I have tried it before but failed. What happened?"
Ever since he got Parseltongue, Rove has been trying to make a basilisk himself. Although this kind of creature has many weaknesses, it is also very powerful.
Unfortunately, he never succeeded, so he had to look for help from the Basilisk.
"Child, making a basilisk is so simple, but we can teach you..." The basilisk smiled.
As long as you are willing to learn from it, black magic will corrode people's hearts step by step and gradually lead to corruption.
After the first time, the boy will soon have the second time, and then slowly become addicted to it.

…
The Orient Express suddenly stopped.
In the distance, a group of masked wizards appeared in front of the track and stopped the train.
The leading wizard stammered and shouted:
"Hit...robbery..."
…
…
(Thanks to the two bosses of "A Salted Fish Sheep" and "Rongshu Forest" for the reward.)
