Chapter 80: Capturing Nagini
In the dim room, there are towering stone pillars with pythons carved on them. Those huge stone pillars support the dark green ceiling.
The weak light casts a large shadow on the ground, and in the shadow, there are two crucibles.
In front of the crucible, there stands a wizard in a black robe. He is brewing a potion. The flame under the crucible is swaying slightly, and the potion is gradually boiling, adding a bit of warmth to the slightly deserted room.
The potion in the crucible on the left has a milky white luster. It is the elixir of life.
But it is only a semi-finished product. The most important magic stone needs to be added to make it successful.
As long as you get the magic stone and put it into the crucible, Voldemort can drink the elixir of life and be resurrected and get a complete body!
That is what he has dreamed of for ten years! !
The potion in the crucible on the right is like sticky mud, and bubbles are slowly coming out. It has been brewed, but in order to use it in the end, some "small items" need to be added.
"Get the thing from Snape as soon as possible, Quirrell." Voldemort's voice was full of chill.
"Yes... Master..." Quirrell knelt on the ground humbly and said.
"Let's go and see our hibernating friend." Voldemort said.
Quirrell stood up and walked towards the depths of the room. He was a little excited and a little scared. He didn't expect to see the legendary... Chamber of Secrets.
This is the room that Slytherin left for his heir!
Slowly coming to the depths of the Chamber of Secrets, a statue towering to the ceiling appeared, with a huge face:
It was an old, monkey-like face, with a sparse long beard that almost dragged to the hem of the wizard's robe carved from stone, and two gray big feet standing on the smooth floor of the room.
"Speak to me, Slytherin - the greatest of the four giants of Hogwarts." Voldemort's mouth hissed in Parseltongue.
Slytherin's huge stone face moved, its mouth opened, getting bigger and bigger, and finally formed a huge black hole.
Quirrell climbed the statue and went into the black hole. There was a room inside. The walls were dotted with emerald gems, providing a faint light.
With the light, you can see a hibernating basilisk, which is entrenched in the corner. It feels that a wizard has awakened it, and it struggles slightly.
Voldemort looked at the basilisk. They haven't seen each other for nearly half a century.
Back then, sixteen-year-old Tom came here and found that there was only one basilisk in the secret room. He was very disappointed.
But with in-depth communication, Tom discovered more secrets. It turned out that Slytherin taught this basilisk a lot of black magic so that it could be passed on to future generations.
Tom followed the basilisk to learn Slytherin's black magic, even more than what he learned secretly in the restricted area of the library.
It was under the guidance of Slytherin that Tom entered the great field of black magic.
It was also through the basilisk that Voldemort first learned about Horcruxes and how to make Horcruxes.
Otherwise, how could he, who was only sixteen years old at that time, think of immortality at such a young age?
Voldemort stroked the serpent, his noseless face full of nostalgia.
"When I am successfully resurrected, I will take you away from here... You will like Nagini."
His cold voice echoed in the secret room.
...
...
Deep in the Albanian forest,
The entire forest was covered with snow, but there was a hot spring here, the boiling hot spring was steaming hot air, and wisps of smoke were coming out.
Rolf followed Newt to this hot spring, he reached out and touched the water temperature, the temperature was moderate... very suitable for hot springs.
"Nagini is hiding in a cave near the hot spring, the temperature in this area is very high, so she can not hibernate, and can continue to move." Newt whispered.
"Then how can we find her?"
Newt opened his shabby box, and soon a creature with snow-white hair all over his body came out, more than five meters tall.
It was a snowman, it put its arm on Rolf's shoulders, and the boy's shoulders were immediately covered with snowflakes. Newt gently brushed them off for him and told him:
"I will let Akshan summon snow to cool down this land. Nagini will run away when she feels the cold."
"But she should have dug a lot of exits." Newt said seriously: "You ride the flying broom to patrol the sky, and send a signal when you find her trace."
Rolf nodded and flew high on the broom.
As the snowman roared, the whistling cold wind suddenly whimpered, which made the snowflakes that were originally only a few miles away from the ground drift with the wind.
Rolf flew in the air, stretched out his palm to catch the cool snowflakes, and soon caught a handful of snow.
A giant snake more than three meters long came out from a hidden cave. Nagini was ready to move to another cave. It was no longer safe here.
Rolf looked at the ground as if he was looking for the golden snitch. He suddenly stopped and whispered, "Found it."
A "ding" sounded in the boy's brain.
[A domesticated blood-cursed orc Nagini is detected, triggering a side quest]
Capture Nagini, reward:
[Parseltongue]
[Master the language of snakes and communicate with them freely]
After Rolf sent the signal, he rode on a flying broom, swooped down like a hawk, and headed straight for Nagini.
That's Parseltongue.
Rolf, who was not very willing to capture Nagini, suddenly became active.
When Nagini heard the sound of breaking through the air, she raised her head, staring at the boy with a pair of gloomy vertical eyes. She spat out messages again and again, and thick snake saliva kept falling.
When the young man approached, Nagini suddenly straightened up, opened his mouth and bit at Luo Fu, but the young man nimbly dodged it.
Nagini's body arched, and her tail suddenly exerted force, but the lightning-fast tail sweep still failed to hit the suddenly accelerating broomstick.
Nagini was extremely angry, but her speed couldn't keep up with the nimble boy.
Rolf rides his broomstick, like a slimy loach constantly harassing Nagini, and he scatters the seeds of the Devil's Net, which fall to the ground.
"Devil's Net·Tangled Root!"
Black seeds fell on the ground, and vines broke out of the ground and floated out. Like a fisherman setting up a net to catch fish, countless vines flew out and tangled towards Nagini.
Nagini got back into the hole again, but with a flick of his wrist, the roots of the underground tree spread, binding the giant snake, and pulled her out of the hole.
Luofu twisted his wrist again and smashed it into the ground.
Nagini, who was bound by vines and tree roots, began to struggle violently. She opened her mouth wide and bit into the vines. A ball of fire in the shape of a salamander fell from the sky, hit the snake's head, and the flames exploded.
Rolf rode his broom and flew over Nagini. He looked at Nagini who was bound but still struggling, and a bold idea suddenly flashed in his mind.
He wants to try out the magical giant tongue whip from Toad Leif.
The boy licked the corner of his mouth, thought for a while and gave up. Not to mention that it didn't match his fighting style, so he would use it to deal with witches in the future.
Forget about Nagini, the snake.
