As Dumbledore adjusted his position, he looked down at the murky water, its depth unknown, filled with all sorts of things.
There were discarded potion scraps, various food remnants, and mostly excrement.
Even the walls were covered with yellow crystals.
Fortunately, a comprehensive sewage system was planned when Hogwarts was built.
The trickling sewage was flowing slowly toward a cave entrance on the sea cliff on the other side of Hogwarts.
Dumbledore, who was maintaining the Levitation Charm, showed no intention of canceling the spell.
At the same time, thanks to his superb magical skills, his figure slowly floated forward.
The strong smell from the bottom of the sewers made Dumbledore cast a head-soaking spell on himself.
This is a rather obscure curse, unless you work in a related industry.
Students used it during the Goblet of Fire era.
The head-soaking spell isn't just for underwater use; it can also be used to avoid unpleasant odors and protect against poisonous gases.
He couldn't help but feel a little resentful of Lin Bei's lack of martial ethics, directly ambushing him, an old man.
While holding me, I was suddenly pushed, giving me the experience of a high-speed slide.
If it weren't for my old bones and limbs making it impossible for me to beat the opponent...
Otherwise, I'll make sure he knows what it means to be vigorous even in old age.
Dumbledore slowly explored the sewers at the very bottom of Hogwarts.
Before long, some clues were discovered.
A conspicuous passageway.
The heavy stone door blocked Dumbledore's way.
Look at the patterns covered with moss.
Dumbledore didn't even need to guess to know that this was another door that only the Parseltongue could open.
However, this stone door serves the same purpose as a door in a house; it offers little protection and requires a snake-like opening mechanism to open, much like a security door equipped with smart voice control.
"Clean up!"
After Dumbledore chanted a Cleansing Charm, he looked at the now clean, tidy, and ancient stone door, examined it for a while, and then raised his hand and tapped it with the Elder Wand.
At the same time, he shouted, "Open the Araho Cave!"
With a simple unlocking spell.
The stone gate in front of us began to sink.
The dimly lit space inside was revealed.
A small square, with a statue of Salazar standing tall.
Above their heads, a white light shone down from the magic pearl.
The surroundings were dark.
Dumbledore adjusted his glasses, his expression turning serious.
Use the advanced uses of the Illumination Charm with caution.
A ball of light the size of a head shot out from the tip of the Elder Wand.
Suddenly, the entire secret room was as bright as day.
Things hidden in the darkness came into view of Dumbledore.
Suddenly, Dumbledore's eyes swept over a large, imposing figure.
'Basilisk!'
The name of the body's owner immediately flashed through Dumbledore's mind.
He hurriedly put on the thermal imaging device that Lin Bei had given him.
Look again.
The entire field of vision is in cool tones, with only some blurry outlines and lines of objects.
However, with the help of algorithms from smart chips, the outlines of these things gradually become clearer, and some auxiliary lines are added, making them so clear that you can associate what you see with the outline and the lines on it.
Dumbledore held his wand in one hand and the Gatling gun, which seemed weightless, in the other, his fingers already on the motor switch.
If anything seems amiss, Dumbledore will immediately show the other party what it means to be a hybrid of physical and magical abilities, and what it means to be a new generation of wizards.
After a standoff of about half a minute, Dumbledore tentatively used a magical shock that wasn't exactly a spell.
The force of the blow was roughly equivalent to throwing a ten-pound bag of rice at someone.
Dumbledore immediately understood.
"So it was a snake's shed skin."
However, Dumbledore did not let his guard down.
This time, due to the rush, I didn't bring Fox, that old guy who's about to enter a period of rebirth.
It is absolutely necessary to be cautious.
Otherwise, Dumbledore wouldn't have lived to this age; strength is just one of the criteria for survival.
With his improved thermal imaging camera in hand, Dumbledore scanned the environment of the Chamber of Secrets.
In a landscape dominated by cool tones, even the slightest difference is like an ink spot on a white sheet of paper.
Although the basilisk doesn't look very good and no snakes were involved in its birth, it does possess some characteristics of snakes.
I don't know if the rooster cheated or the toad spread its legs.
Ultimately, it is a kind of man-made magical animal.
All I can say is that the despicable Herpo truly lived up to his reputation as a renowned dark wizard in ancient Greece, far surpassing the sorcerers of today.
"That is···"
"Behind Salazar's portrait?"
Dumbledore muttered to himself.
Somewhat disbelieving, they lifted the thermal imaging camera on their headscarves and took a look.
"It is indeed behind Salazar's portrait."
That must be where the basilisk sleeps.
Dumbledore looked at the Salazar statue and saw a clear crack in its mouth that was necessary for it to open and close.
He couldn't help but think to himself, Salazar is really a bit of a pervert.
The basilisk's entrance and exit were surprisingly located in its mouth.
People are coming and going.
Uh... it doesn't seem to work the same in other locations either.
Dumbledore quickly shook the distracting thoughts from his mind.
"It's all Lin's fault!" Dumbledore muttered unhappily.
Dumbledore often invited Lin Bei to his headmaster's office for chats, and Lin Bei was instilled with many modern ideas, which led to him becoming somewhat impure. Dumbledore, on the other hand, had remained chaste to this day.
After observing the area from the outside and finding no significant danger,
Dumbledore swaggered into the brightly lit square.
I glanced at the towering statue of Salazar.
He smacked his lips.
To truly master the basilisk, you need a snake-like creature; similarly, you need to control it.
From this perspective, the basilisk is still quite safe.
However, the things Voldemort did during his student days came to mind.
Dumbledore immediately dismissed the idea.
The basilisk must be eliminated!
Even if this is one of the means Salazar left for Hogwarts to defend against external enemies, it won't work.
This is really too dangerous!
At this point, Dumbledore's ideas were somewhat similar to Hashirama Senju's.
Just like the tailed beasts in Naruto, they lived well in their own territories, but their reputations were tarnished by some ambitious individuals, though they remained quite well-behaved.
However, Da Zhuzi didn't think so. His point was that if I said you were a threat to society, then you were a threat to society.
Dumbledore's thoughts were similar at this point, and the Basilisk had a history of such behavior.
The underlying logic design is also not rigorous; anyone with a snake-like personality could control it.
It's obvious that Salazar doesn't know Asimov's Law.
As for the snake slough beside him, Dumbledore only glanced at it before paying no further attention.
Because this thing was not properly stored, its efficacy was greatly diminished.
It's a decent material choice for resisting some low-level spells.
However, Dumbledore didn't think about these things.
Instead, he stared at Salazar's statue, pondering it.
The snake-faced man's path is definitely not going to work.
It seems we have no choice but to take a hard line.
After a month or two of ideological indoctrination by Lin Bei, coupled with some hints.
Otherwise, would Lin Bei have nothing to do but let Dumbledore spend all day having fireside chats with him?
Would I be happy to be with some old geezer every night, or maybe some other old geezer whose identity is uncertain?
