After spending the night in the study, Noah entered the research room the next day and stayed there for a whole day. Alchemy Doll No. 1 brought him three meals.
The basilisk was quite curious. Perhaps because he had a new owner, or because of the rain forest where it was allowed to wreak havoc, he became energetic and no longer slept blindly. It thought of the familiar smell on Noah's body yesterday. The smell was very weak today, and it would probably disappear completely by tomorrow.
The familiar smell inevitably reminds me of Salazar again. The basilisk's memory is different from its age, because it spends most of its time sleeping, waiting to be awakened. And most of those waking hours were related to Salazar Slytherin. Even though it clearly knows who its current owner is, it can't help but think of it.
Not to mention that Noah is actually somewhat similar to Salazar. They are rational, intelligent, and calm, and they are both wizards obsessed with studying magic. But there are also more dissimilarities. For example, Salazar always suppresses everything in his heart and urges himself to keep moving forward. But Noah is different. His research is just for interest and he keeps doing it because he likes it. Study, research, and attitude towards pets.
The basilisk thought of Keya again, and couldn't help but feel a little envious when he thought of it.
Although Salazar speaks like a snake and his family symbol is a basilisk, he doesn't carry a small pet with him every day like Noah does. Keya showed off this to it more than once.
Unfortunately, it grew too fast and became too big.
Thinking this, the basilisk couldn't help but glance at the alchemy doll in the corner.
Because of its teasing, this alchemy doll has been walking around it. Just like now, it is standing in a deserted corner trying to be a vase. Above its mind, Keya is curled up in a ball and waving its tail in boredom.
…
"Salazar."
Under the moonlight, the silver-haired old witch bathed in the moonlight and stared at her friend who quietly returned late at night.
Salazar stopped and looked at his old friend who was waiting for him unsurprisingly.
"Welcome back," she said.
"I'm just here to get something." The hooded wizard said calmly.
Such an explanation would undoubtedly sound like a cover-up to the other party. The arrogant Slytherin had always been stingy in explaining what he had done, so he left the school arrogantly and disdained those gossips. On the contrary, this sentence will be suddenly explained only when the words are not meant.
However, she has always been smart and would not be in a situation suitable for tearing down an old friend. So she just smiled and got out of the way.
Salazar walked past her with a sullen face, walked to the bathroom door, raised his hand and pressed it on the door.
Ravenclaw did not follow, but watched the door gradually close.
They say they are taking things, but they are actually here to put things away.
He saw the basilisk again. The basilisk woke up from its sleep after smelling its master's breath. It was already four meters long and followed its master intimately. It touched its master's hand as a farewell after a long absence.
Salazar touched its head and opened the secret room at the bottom of the secret room.
With a wave of his hand, bookcases appeared one by one and filled the whole secret room neatly. Books appeared and were arranged into the bookcases one after another, neatly arranged.
The basilisk following him looked at the filled secret room, and in confusion, he suddenly realized that his master had picked up its head and put it on his forehead.
"Bye now."
It "heard" his master say this, and the close-fitting skull faithfully reflected Salazar's farewell, but it was not a snake's words, but human words.
It was left here again, watching its owner leave, and then curled up in a ball and fell into a deep sleep for an unknown length of time.
Ravenclaw waited until her old friend came out, and she smiled slightly: "Is this the treasure you left behind?"
Salazar looked beyond her to the window behind her. The moonlight had shifted and the place where they were was being shrouded in darkness: "It's time to say goodbye."
They probably won't see each other again.
"Do you have to go?"
"You never
Agree with my approach. "
"How about at least saying goodbye? Godric has been thinking about apologizing to you. Helga is worried about you too."
"There's no need, just pretend I've never come back."
"Then, Salazar, please be careful," Ravenclaw gave the final advice, "I hope you will not forget how we were forced to hide here."
Salazar's steps paused slightly, and when he took another step, his figure had begun to distort and quickly disappeared.
"...This sentence should be left to you." This was their last meeting.
…
Noah opened his eyes, and it took a few seconds for his memory to slowly come back to him. He rubbed his forehead. He had just woken up but wanted to sleep again.
That wasn't even a break last night!
It seems that drinking soul blood is not without cost. In the dream, he was forced to review the entire process from when Salazar Slytherin returned to school and left the secret room to returning to the castle to make soul blood. No, it was not just the process. There are also feelings.
It wasn't a good feeling. Although in Noah's several dreams, Salazar was a person with a dull expression, but when he really felt the other person's feelings, Noah couldn't help but feel sad for the degree of depression in the other person's heart. shock.
To describe it, he could only think of the cold lake water, which was so oppressive and heavy that it gave people a suffocating feeling of being trapped and sinking. He carried a heavy load on his back, the pain of leaving his friends, the fear that he might become the culprit that made wizards' situation even more difficult, the ideal of freeing wizards from Muggle control, the responsibility to protect his family, and his upcoming The madness of what is to be done…
Was Salazar really not crazy later? Isn't it because studying black magic is crazy?
Noah used three spells in succession to make the suffocation feel subside completely, but after hesitating, he did not blur those memories.
Because the experience is not entirely without its benefits.
Noah raised his hand, powerful magic power surged slightly, and a ball of flame appeared in the sky above his palm, and then completely disappeared the moment Noah clenched his fingers.
Now if he fights with Principal Dumbledore again, he won't be suppressed so hard.
But, let’s sleep again.
Noah turned over and lay back down, and soon fell into a dark and sweet dream again. This time he had no more dreams.
At this moment, two snakes and an alchemy doll were waiting for Noah to come down outside: "...?"
Where is the master? ? ? Not eating?
Finally, Keya entered Noah's room and saw that his master was still sleeping soundly. Although he was stunned for a moment, he didn't pay much attention to it and went out to tell the basilisk the news.
But... after it left, several feathers fell leisurely on the floor.
