Although there were some twists and turns in the end, Voldemort had succeeded.
Noah put aside the doubts that spread in his heart, carefully looked at the soul stone sealed with Voldemort's soul, put the seal on it and put it away, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Very good, at least the probability of Voldemort coming back is much lower, and then we only need to deal with the other Horcruxes.
After relaxing, a feeling of fatigue suddenly spread throughout his body and mind. The loss of magic power and mental power reminded him that he needed to rest and recover now.
Then go back first.
…
When he returned to the castle, Noah tiredly took off his black cloak and returned to his original appearance.
At this moment, the sky is already slightly bright, and Alchemy Doll No. 1 has already prepared a warm and soft bed, waiting for his master to lie down on it and have a good rest, and of course, a hearty supper.
However, Noah had no appetite for the time being, so he chose to sleep first.
It was already afternoon when he woke up.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he first saw Keya lying on his chest, spitting out snake letters and staring at him.
When he opened his eyes to face an enlarged snake face, Noah closed his eyes indifferently. When he opened them again, his eyes were clear.
"Good morning." Noah greeted, then lifted Keya away from him, stood up, and changed into the clothes prepared by the alchemy doll.
[Good morning, master. 】What reached my ears was the sound of milk purring, which sounded really young.
Noah stopped for a moment while getting dressed, then turned to look at Keya who was lying on his pillow. During this time, he had grown a little longer, and by visual inspection it was already fourteen inches, which is only thirty-five centimeters. , if Keya is really the species he thought, then this is indeed much younger than the legendary one, so...how old is it to be considered to be out of infancy?
Noah fell into deep thought for a moment.
Keya, who didn't know what his owner was thinking, tilted his head and wondered why his owner suddenly stopped moving, but he didn't get too entangled. He happily shared the fulfilling experience of the past few days with his owner whom he hadn't seen for several days.
[The basilisk and I caught a lot of prey! 】
【There is a bird! There are pigeons! And monkeys! 】
[There are also butterflies, but they are not as beautiful as the owner’s butterflies! 】
Keya counted them one by one. Because there was no clear concept of species classification, the prey it mentioned was not in any order. He talked about whatever came to mind, and also shared some of the hunting experiences he had learned with Noah. .
For example, you can catch fish in mire swamps.
Keya wanted to share his catch with his master, but the basilisk advised him not to.
[It said, my poison is too strong, it is best not to feed you the prey I have bitten. 】
Noah nodded silently, agreeing with what the Basilisk said. Noah really couldn't handle Keya's poison at the moment.
But Keya was sharing enthusiastically, and Noah didn't interrupt. He just responded from time to time, and the basilisk was not brought back in vain.
After washing and changing clothes, Keya consciously climbed onto his arm and happily wrapped it around him a little tighter.
Having not seen his master for several days, Keya missed the warm human body temperature very much, and of course the good-smelling magic power of his master.
Noah casually condensed a thumb-sized magic crystal and fed it to Keya before walking towards the restaurant.
The breakfast prepared by the alchemy doll has been placed on the dining table. Noah sat down on the dining table and began to enjoy his breakfast.
That's when the basilisk comes in.
It seemed to smell something familiar. Its huge body crossed the corridor, and only half of its body entered the restaurant. When it straightened its neck, the shadow cast by it happened to cover Noah's entire figure.
【The smell of you...】
Its snake letter almost licked Noah's head, but Noah gently raised his hand and pressed it back with magic power. A hissing sound came from his throat: "I'm eating." 】
If you get any closer to him, you'll have to get a different breakfast.
The basilisk didn't pay attention to his actions, and didn't approach him after the magic power that pushed him disappeared. Instead, it circled the dining table and came to the opposite side of Noah: [You drank the soul blood. 】
Noah didn't answer, and Coada immediately poked his head out of Noah's sleeves and looked at his master curiously; [Master, you can speak snake language! 】
He looked very happy.
[He no longer has to worry about being turned into stone by me. ] The basilisk added on the side.
Keya swung his tail: [Why can’t I? 】
Keya will still be affected by the basilisk's ability, which is what the basilisk himself said.
【Because you are still too young. 】The basilisk has an indescribable feeling of kindness towards Keya, 【Just wait until you are older. 】
Keya was just depressed for a moment and soon stopped caring. Noah thought for a second, wondering whether he should add a few more spells to Keya.
It seems that only defensive spells have been used. The petrification skills of the basilisk probably require an upgraded version of the guardian spell.
Keya has grown a lot now and can carve new spells.
Noah's eyes wandered over Keya, wondering where to put the new spell.
Keya, who inexplicably felt like a piece of chicken on a chopping board: [? 】
It could be seen that the basilisk was very satisfied with Noah drinking the soul blood. The whole snake coiled around Noah and the dining table, resting on his body and waving its tail happily.
Noah was sometimes not very good at figuring out the Basilisk's attitude.
It is said that the basilisk cares about this matter, but it doesn't seem to be the case. It only mentions it occasionally, except at the beginning, and after several times of rejection by Noah, it will not persuade him. But it said it didn't care, and the basilisk persisted in suggesting it. But if it really cares about the so-called "blood relationship" or "soul blood", the basilisk has never mentioned Voldemort since it came here. After all, judging from the current situation, Voldemort is the descendant of Slytherin.
Forget it, Koa's little brain Guanoe sometimes doesn't understand it. Maybe it's because humans' overly complicated thinking methods are different from those of magical animals.
After eating, the basilisk let go of Noah: [My new master, do you have any orders? 】
Noah raised his eyes and met his gaze. Just as the basilisk said, he would not be affected by the basilisk's eyes. It's really amazing. I wonder if Harry is immune to this.
"There is no order," Noah replied, "As long as you don't run out of this forest, you can do whatever you want. 】
【Follow your orders. ] The basilisk replied in a lazy tone, [This is a very suitable place for elderly snakes to take care of themselves. 】
Although rich in species, it is also dangerous. There are no fewer dangerous magical creatures here than in the Forbidden Forest. But the basilisk is content here and is basically invincible. It can indeed be called "suitable for retirement."
Noah plans to stay here for a few more days, and he still needs to deal with Voldemort's soul stone.
