After much effort, Aaron finally succeeded in completing the Parselang translator.
This made Harry work hard for several nights - because after Aaron finally finished reading the words on the first scroll, he immediately took out the second one. The second one was not finished yet, and the third one was not finished yet. It’s already waiting there…
In order to prevent Harry from accidentally speaking human words, Aaron specially found some real snakes for him to speak to.
From this, Aaron also observed carefully, and finally he discovered that there might be a reason why Runas could not analyze this ability.
Because the owners of Parseltongue are not just able to communicate with snakes, in many cases, the orders they give in Parseltongue are mandatory for snakes.
In a sense, Parselmouth actually has the ability to control snakes.
Of course, this control ability is not absolute. Aaron also specially conducted experiments:
Parseltongues can achieve absolute control over snakes such as the magical creations conjured by wizards - they have even greater control than the caster himself.
But for real snakes, Harry's ability is not so effective. He can discuss with the snakes and ask them to do something. The snakes are often very friendly to him and are generally willing to accept his requests.
But that doesn't mean the snakes will completely obey Harry's orders.
Aaron has no way of knowing whether this is because of the limitations of Parseltongue's own ability, or because the inheritance of Parseltongue also has differences in the ability of blood relatives. After all, he currently only has one sample, Harry.
It would be great if I could get another sample somewhere...
Aaron couldn't help but think so.
…
A few nights later.
Christmas is not far away, and the wind and snow outside are getting heavier and heavier. This afternoon's herbal medicine class was canceled because of this.
Aaron took on the task of patrolling the night tonight - this was something he had previously assigned to Runas. However, he had been working on making a snake language translator for several days and still wanted to go out for a walk and change his mind.
He walked in the empty castle, the wand in his hand glowed with fluorescence, and Aaron played with the small bottle like a child.
Aaron added many elaborate designs to it to ensure that it could achieve the purpose of simultaneous interpretation - although Aaron didn't know why he wanted to engage in simultaneous interpretation with a snake.
When it works, the gas in the bottle will automatically change into the shape of a snake. Aaron only needs to speak to the mouth of the bottle, and it will automatically translate it into the language of snakes.
Aaron was on night patrol alone - Runas needed to keep an eye on the alchemy artifact for him in the office, which was almost finished.
When he got bored, he would chat into the bottle.
The content is probably nothing more than "Hello", "Hello", "Where do you live from?", "How old are you this year?", "Are you married?", such topics that the old lady in the village likes.
But next, something he never expected happened.
The words he sent out actually received a response!
I saw a sudden change in the gas in the bottle. The snake turned its head and spit out the letter, saying in a broken and vague voice:
"My hometown...is...far away...it has been...many years..."
Aaron was stunned for a moment, and then a storm surged in his heart!
He then remembered that the translation function of this translator is two-way. It can not only translate human language into snake language, but also translate snake language into human language.
This means...
The Basilisk is around here! ! !
Aaron suppressed the shock in his heart and quickly said to the bottle:
"Who are you? What are you doing here?"
The voice soon came out again:
"...It's been a long time since I've been killing people...I'm going to kill tonight...and tear..."
Aaron didn't dare to neglect. He constantly adjusted his direction according to the strength of the sound coming from the bottle, and ran down the corridor chasing the sound.
The sound traveled through the walls and ceiling, like a disembodied ghost.
While chasing it, Aaron tried to chat with it:
"Stop, you can't kill anyone..."
"Master's order...to kill...need, cleanse..."
Aaron desperately tried to identify the direction of the sound, and he kept thinking about how to catch it.
It wasn't easy. The sound traveled through the walls and it was hard for Aaron to pinpoint its location.
Not to mention, the walls of Hogwarts are covered with defensive magic.
"Who is your master? Where is he?"
"No...you...master...can't say it..."
Aaron chased it up the stairs. He was anxious, hoping that the sound would stop somewhere.
At this moment, an idea came to his mind:
"Hurry up and take me to your master, I am his friend!"
"friend?"
"That's it..." Aaron was stunned for a moment, and his brain was running rapidly: "A hunting partner!"
"...Master...has no...partners."
"If you think about it carefully, I can talk to you, and your master can also talk to you; I am a human, and your master is also a human. Shouldn't we be friends?"
Aaron turned on the big liar mode.
The voice was silent for a while, as if it had been fooled by Aaron to the point where its brain shut down. After a while, it continued:
"...What you said...is strange...unlike...Master."
Aaron quickly said: "I'm from the countryside, so it's normal to have a little accent, right?"
The voice seemed to be really involved by Aaron. It was silent for a while, and then wandered away in the opposite direction.
"follow me."
Aaron was overjoyed and quickly followed in its footsteps.
During this time, Aaron kept talking to the voice to confirm its location.
"How old are you?"
"..."
"Where do snakes grow?"
"..."
Just when Aaron thought everything was going well, something unexpected happened.
Aaron suddenly heard it, and the voice became excited—its tone became obviously high-pitched:
"Flesh...living flesh...killing...killing..."
Aaron was stunned for a second, and then he saw a little wizard appearing in front of the corridor.
"wait wait wait!"
Aaron quickly stopped him, but it was already too late. The voice was obviously rushing forward at an extremely fast speed, and Aaron could hear an obvious strange noise coming from the ceiling.
The little wizard was obviously unaware of everything, and he was even chatting with a ghost - Nearly Headless Nick.
In the room behind him, a twisted shadow slowly emerged.
"well!"
Aaron sighed, he knew that the fishing failed.
His legs exerted force, and his whole body suddenly rose up - the little wizard just heard a whistling wind, and then he saw a high-speed moving figure rushing towards him.
"Close your eyes!"
Aaron shouted, and a throwing bottle filled with blinding water was suddenly thrown out!
Just as the little wizard closed his eyes, a burst of light blue smoke suddenly exploded, and Nick, who was almost headless, jumped up in fright - unfortunately, his head still didn't fall off.
Immediately afterwards, there was a huge sound.
"boom!"
Smoke and dust suddenly rose, and countless fragments of bricks and tiles suddenly flew away. In a daze, Nick, who was almost headless, seemed to see a figure crashing into the wall!
