Dracula laughed dumbfounded and shook his head slightly.

"Salazar has been dead for so many years, there is no need to be polite to him." He said completely bluntly, "Now, his property is my property, and I will even use his property to deal with him offspring!"

As he spoke, he rubbed the basilisk's green forehead and said to it:

"How about building a new home in the forests of Albania? And by the way, do me a favor and search through the hollow trees in that forest to see if I can find Ravenclaw's diadem, which is Rowena's head You should know the one you often wear.”

After being cultivated by Slytherin and evolved over thousands of years, the Basilisk is now very intelligent and can understand human language.

Hearing Dracula's explanation, it closed its eyes and nodded obediently to its big green head.

"Didn't Professor Dracula hear about the diadem from Voldemort himself?" Dumbledore asked curiously.

Dracula's face immediately turned black.

It can only be said that Voldemort's trick of exchanging the secret of eternal life for a chance to escape really caused his emotions to fluctuate a lot.

After experiencing Voldemort's mysterious operation, all Dracula thought about at that time was to kill this guy who had no eyesight and poked his sore spot, and even forgot to help Helena ask about Ravenclaw's crown. information……

Fortunately, when thinking about how to place the basilisk, Dracula remembered what he promised Helena in time, so he temporarily decided to send the basilisk to the Albanian forest.

"Professor Dracula, since you have decided to send the basilisk to Albania, there is one more thing I need to tell you." Dumbledore thought for a moment, and then said, "In the past ten years, I have a friend , Newt Scamander discovered a strange phenomenon in one of the forests in Albania—"

"A few years ago, Newt was invited by the Ministry of Magic of Albania as a specially invited magizoologist to conduct an investigation there. In a forest over there, many animals lost their vitality for no reason. Their performance is as follows: There are no wounds, and the whole body is shriveled..."

Dracula showed a surprised expression.

"Isn't this what happened in the Forbidden Forest some time ago?" He said with interest, "This kind of black magic uses the form of sacrifice to extract the life force from the living body, so as to supplement the missing life force."

"You mean... Voldemort also caused the strange phenomenon in that forest?" He looked at Dumbledore and asked.

"It's very possible!" Dumbledore nodded. "After Voldemort came to Hogwarts through Quirrell, Newt sent me a letter. He told me in the letter that the animals in the forest died strangely. suddenly disappeared.”

"That is to say, after Voldemort failed to steal the Sorcerer's Stone and I annihilated the power he had just accumulated, it is very likely that he will return to the Albanian forest he is most familiar with and has been in for 11 years!" Dracula said A wicked smile curled up on the corner of his mouth.

"In this case, you have to work hard for one more task." He turned his head to look at the basilisk, and said gently, "I need you to help me find the traces of Voldemort, the descendant of Slytherin who controlled you before. I I will go to you from time to time to ask him for clues."

The basilisk nodded tamely, and abandoned the offspring of the original owner without any hesitation.

"Professor Dracula, I remember you once said in that abandoned bathroom that you don't seem to speak Parseltongue?" Dumbledore asked suddenly, "So how are you going to get it from the basilisk? Got news from Voldemort?"

"Mr. Principal, how can the way we wizards obtain information be limited to verbal communication? That's too inefficient." Dracula turned his head and took a deep look at him, then smiled lightly, "Don't you think it's useful Will Legilimency get information faster?"

Dumbledore's eyes twitched.

Legilimency

Reading this kind of magic that requires looking at each other to obtain accurate information, when you have enough energy, theoretically, it does have a very high efficiency in obtaining information.

But if you want to use Legilimency to obtain the information in the eyes of the basilisk, you must first look at the basilisk.I am afraid that only an existence like Professor Dracula dares to do this...

Dumbledore sighed secretly.

At the same time, Dracula had already explained to it the tasks that the basilisk needed to complete, and finally patted its big head.

Then he took two steps back and looked at it thoughtfully.

"Professor Dracula, Fox can teleport the basilisk outside of Hogwarts Castle if you want."

Dumbledore thought that Dracula was struggling with how to send the basilisk to Albania, and introduced with a smile: "I can help you contact a team that specializes in transporting large magical animals, and they will be transported by four good broomstick masters, and we can do it tomorrow." Put it in the forests of Albania."

"Or we can follow Newt's method and make a large traceless stretching spell space, put the basilisk in it, and then go to Albania through the portkey. I happen to be very good at making portkeys."

Dracula glanced at him and shook his head.

"It doesn't need to be so troublesome." He chuckled, "I was just wondering how big the moon would be to fit this big guy in."

In Dumbledore's puzzled eyes, Dracula grabbed the basilisk's tail, and an apparition disappeared into the forbidden room.

The next moment, Dracula and the basilisk appeared together hundreds of meters above the castle.

The basilisk, which had never left land before, began to struggle and writhe uneasily after a short period of shock.

"Don't move, or I'll throw you down." Dracula said indifferently.

The basilisk immediately calmed down, letting Dracula's magic power support it to float in the sky.

"Very good." Dracula nodded with satisfaction, "The room just now was too small to use it, so I brought you here."

As he spoke, he raised a hand.

A gigantic dark moon quietly floated high in the sky, emitting a cool light.

The huge body of the basilisk was completely covered by the dark moon. Immediately afterwards, it saw a dense forest, smelled the smell of rain soaking dead leaves and old trees, and the fragrance of dusty grass after being washed away...

There are two moons in the sky at Hogwarts tonight, two kinds of moonlight.

Chapter 74 Tom Riddle's Confusion

Reading tips: To prevent incomplete access to content, please do not use the browser reading mode.

Tom Riddle is at a loss right now.

He didn't know what the situation was like now, he didn't know what he should do now, he didn't even know if his name was Tom Riddle.

Because at the end of the day, he is nothing more than an abandoned diary.

……

Time went back to the day before, in Quirrell's cramped teaching assistant's office.

Quirrell went out to collect his homework, and there was only an illusory figure left in the office.

"I'm going to steal the Philosopher's Stone tomorrow." The phantom of the handsome boy sat quietly by the window, looking at the diary in front of him.

The diary opened a few pages by itself, and a line of beautiful ink appeared on a blank page——

"Didn't you already occupy my body, you still need to discuss this kind of thing with me?"

The emotions revealed in the ink blots are very sullen, and it can be seen that it is very dissatisfied with the encroachment on its body.

"It seems that you haven't figured it out yet. I am the one who created you, and I am the master soul who dominates all Horcruxes!" Voldemort's tone was also tinged with anger, "There is no such thing as in my diary when I was young. The memory left behind, how can you have the magical attainment to condense the soul and body?!"

"But you fell on top of a baby anyway," the diary reads.

Voldemort's face contorted for a while, as if he had the urge to tear the diary apart.

After a long time, he took a deep breath to calm down the anger in his heart.

"I didn't take you out to quarrel with you." Voldemort said in a deep voice, "I have something important to tell you. This is related to whether I can be resurrected smoothly, and it is also related to our common future!"

"Don't you want to get your body back? Okay, then give it back to you!"

The ink on the page of the diary suddenly faded, which meant that its mood fluctuated violently, and it almost failed to stabilize its handwriting.

"Is what you said true? But, why did you return the body to me?" After a while, the ink marks on the diary were reconstituted into a new line of writing.

"After absorbing the vitality of the unicorn, I actually don't need to use your condensed body to act anymore," said Voldemort.

At the same time, the phantom of the handsome boy was thrown straight into the opened diary, and another figure with distorted features, no nose, and no hair appeared by the window instead of him.

"Tomorrow's action is extremely important to me, but my enemy is also extremely powerful." Voldemort said, his face became extremely ugly, his blood red eyes flickered constantly, "Dumbledore and Dracula are both difficult for me now. To deal with the existence, even if you can use a little trick to hold them back, it won't be able to hold them back for too long."

"Therefore, tomorrow's action must have the possibility of failure!"

"Do you need me to do something?" The diary hesitated for a moment and wrote a line.

"No, you don't have to do anything." Voldemort's eyes were gloomy. "I will find the safest place to put you. You just need to protect your own safety."

"You remember, every horcrux is my life, and I will never risk my life. I will re-possess Quirrell, and it is enough to have him as cannon fodder!"

The diary was silent for a moment, and wrote down two words:

"I understand."

……

The diary lay quietly in Voldemort's so-called safest place, and spent the whole day in fear.

In the evening of the next day, when the sunset just rose outside the window, Riddle's soul throbbed crazily in the diary.

He suddenly sensed an extremely violent fluctuation in the state of his main soul, that is, Voldemort.

Immediately afterwards, the position of the main soul suddenly moved rapidly, and the distance to him was getting closer and closer, and the feeling between the two became stronger and stronger. At the same time, the main soul's emotions were mixed with extreme shock and urgency.

Outside the window, a skull carried a cloud of black smoke, as if inadvertently bypassed the eighth floor of the main tower, and at the moment it was closest to the castle, a short and emotional message was sent to the diary——

"Lurking in Hogwarts Castle! A diadem by your side will help you!

Get Harry Potter's blood! ! ! "

Not long after receiving the message, a dark full moon suddenly rose in the sky where the red clouds had not yet ended.

After that, Riddle in the diary could no longer sense the breath of the main soul...

"Ugh--"

The phantom of the handsome boy emerged from the diary and let out a sigh.

He is very confused now and doesn't know what to do next.

Was it lurking in Hogwarts Castle as the main soul requested, trying to get Harry Potter's blood?

He hesitated.

On the one hand, Riddle didn't know what Voldemort wanted Potter's blood to do. On the other hand, Dracula and Dumbledore were like two mountains pressing on his head, making him dare not act rashly.

Thinking for nothing, he suddenly thought of the second sentence in the text message Voldemort sent him without beginning and end——

"A crown around you will help you."

Riddle looked around him, but he didn't find anything like a crown here.But he didn't think Voldemort would leave any useless information in such an urgent situation.

So Riddle raised his head and looked around the room.

He was standing in a room the size of a cathedral. The high windows cast beams of the setting sun, illuminating innumerable objects, either old or quaint, piled up like a mountain, forming a city of high walls—that is, It is made up of items hidden by Hogwarts students or professors in the past.

"Is there a Room of Requirement?" Riddle whispered to himself.

When Voldemort was young, he mentioned this magical place in his diary, so Tom Riddle, who was born in the diary Horcrux, quickly identified his location.

Riddle had the idea of ​​exploring the mystery.
