I'm a priest at Hogwarts

The continuous loud noises had already alarmed many people. Orlando did not dare to delay and quickly used the lightening technique to speed up. The basilisk was in hot pursuit. It rushed into the hall all the way, its body as thick as a bucket covered with black scales. A, the [-]-meter-long snake body made a rumbling sound like a running train. Under the blazing torch in the foyer, the basilisk glowed with a coquettish red light. Orlando only glanced back, then hurriedly flew away. Sweep away.

Across the greenhouse and across the meadow, Orlando chose the shortest path without hesitation and passed by the Whomping Willow before it could react.

After a while, there was a crackling sound behind him, and the angry roar of the basilisk. Orlando knew that this was an encounter between the two of them without looking at him. He hoped that the basilisk would not kill the Whomping Willow, otherwise it would Professor Glenrup knew what he had done, so it would be strange to have him cramped and skinned.

Without looking back, Orlando plunged into the Forbidden Forest, where Dumbledore had already cleared a large area of ​​land.At this time, a light door appeared in front of him, and Orlando vaguely sensed that Dumbledore had cast a magical barrier here, making it easier to get in than to get out.

Sure enough, as soon as he entered Orlando, he felt that the inside and the outside were two different worlds. The situation inside could not be sensed from the outside, and the sounds from inside could not be transmitted to the outside. It was obvious that this was a battlefield or a trap set by Dumbledore.

"Boy, why are you in such a mess?" Nico Flamel and Dumbledore had been waiting for a long time.

"Forget it. When we left the castle, we were attacked by Lockhart, who was controlled by the Dark Lord. The boat almost capsized in the gutter. Well, that's it." Orlando handed the diary to Dumbledore.

"Lockhart?" the grumpy Nico Flamel was about to ask who this man was.The basilisk had escaped from the Whomping Willow and was running over.

"Teacher, we'll talk about this later. Let's make room first." Orlando glanced at Nico Flamel.

"That's fine, Albus will leave the rest to you."

"Leave it to me, you guys step back first." Dumbledore shook his head helplessly.

The two quickly retreated to the stone platform behind.

"Teacher, this is not good for us." Following Nico Flamel's example, Orlando leaned back on his chair, crossed his legs, drank black tea and watched the show happily.

"What's wrong? We are guests, so we can't take over the show. It's Albus's performance time now, so we can just watch the show quietly."

Dumbledore is indeed the most powerful white wizard in this century. When he piled his wand on the boulder, a three-story stone lion came to life, let out a roar, and blocked the way of the basilisk.

The stone lion is the product of transfiguration. It has no flesh and soul, and is not afraid of the snake eyes and fangs of the basilisk. The two soon struggled with each other, but Dumbledore was not idle at the side. He only saw his wand tapping his mouth. He muttered words, and soon a magic cage rose up around the basilisk and stone lion, blocking their retreat.

Without Dumbledore's command, the stone lion quickly fell into a disadvantage and was rolled up in circles by the basilisk and cut into pieces. Nico Flamel, who had promised to capture the basilisk alive, could not just end like this.

Dumbledore commanded the wand to conjure two stone lions again. This time, the stone lions kept a certain distance from the basilisk one behind the other. They were only responsible for provoking but not actively attacking. They used their flexible movements to fool the basilisk. Round and round.

Dumbledore, who was not far away, took this opportunity to complete his magic, and vines as thick as the mouth of a bowl sprang up from the ground. These were transformed from fallen trees through transfiguration, and they were entangled like spider webs. On the huge body of the basilisk.

At first, the basilisk relied on its huge body and great strength to break these vines. But as Dumbledore increased the transmission of magic power, more and more vines attached to the basilisk's body became faster and faster. Quickly, when the dense vines covered the entire body of the basilisk, it was no longer able to struggle. At this time, the stone lion jumped over and gave it the final blow, stepping on its high head, and the basilisk let out a shrill roar. He suddenly fell to the ground.

"Let's go, the show is over, it's time for us to appear." Nico Flamel put away the teapot and said with a smile.

The two came to Dumbledore's side.

"Old man, I haven't seen you for so many years, but you are still so good at transformation." Nico Flamel praised him without hesitation.

"Old man, no, I just moved a little bit, and I feel like my whole body is falling apart." Dumbledore said with a smile: "The next step is up to you, let me see your soul magic. Bar."

"Look." Nico Flamel wanted to compete and walked up to the basilisk deliberately.

"Teacher, be careful of its eyes." Orlando wanted to step forward to stop Nico Flamel, but he waved his hand to stop him.

It turned out that Nico Flamel had already closed his eyes tightly at this time, blocked his five senses, and relied entirely on his powerful soul perception to communicate with the outside world.

I saw him using his wand to draw a five-pointed star in the sky. Under the night sky, the five-pointed star gave off a faint golden light, and then disappeared into the top of the basilisk's head.

As Nico Flamel cast the spell, the originally roaring and struggling basilisk gradually became quiet, and the pupils that looked at Nico Flamel no longer flashed with a deadly green light.

As if some agreement had been reached, Nico Flamel took back his magic and came back.

"Teacher, how is it?"

Dumbledore also looked over, obviously waiting for an answer.

"This thousand-year-old basilisk is quite intelligent. It has obviously understood its situation. It has agreed to sign a soul contract." Before Orlando could be happy, Nico Flamel continued: "But it has a prerequisite. It must It can only be defeated head-on by killing the person who summoned his master. This is also the contract magic left by Salazar Slytherin."

Dumbledore looked at Orlando with amusement. Even though he easily subdued the basilisk, it was because he had laid out the battlefield early.

The unsuspecting basilisk rushed in. Facing a well-prepared and powerful transformation master who restrained him, it was completely defeated without even using any of its abilities. This made people feel that it had grown so big in vain and its strength was so great. It's really not good, but Dumbledore, who knows the inside story well, doesn't think so.

After saying this, Nico Flamel did not continue to speak, but looked at Orlando and waited for his decision.

"Teacher, please tell it again. I don't need magic, but it's not allowed to use snake eyes or fangs. We will win or lose in physical combat." Orlando took out the mace that he had not used for a long time from his psychic bracelet. .

Even though this mace is inconspicuous, he found it from Nico Flamel's centuries-old alchemy collection. It is made from pure black jade gold crystals. It is hard in texture and can amplify magic. Even though it is only [-] feet and [-] inches tall. It is [-] pounds long but weighs [-] kilograms. It is difficult for ordinary people to pick it up, let alone use it.

"Are you sure? I'm sure, teacher."

Nico Flamel had known for a long time that his cheap apprentice was a giant humanoid with immense strength and vitality. He might be able to defeat the basilisk on his own, so he was not prepared to say anything.

Not surprisingly, the basilisk agreed to Orlando's request. In its knowledge, the little guy in front of him could wrap him up with its tail without using his natural skills.

"Are you ready?" Dumbledore gradually felt that it was too much to maintain such a large-scale magic for a long time, and he couldn't help but urge.

"Ready, Professor, let it out." Orlando said, standing forward.
