Two days later Tiera received a reply, this time it was an owl with gray fur, which flew in and dropped the letter before flying away.
"Dear Mr. Wu,
We are very happy to receive your reply, and we sincerely welcome you to join us. We believe that you will spend an unforgettable and happy seven years at Hogwarts.
We have already made arrangements for the situation you mentioned. Our lovely gamekeeper, Rubis Hagrid, will arrive at your loft in the old town on the evening of July 31st or the early morning of August 1st to take you to the wonderful place. In the wizarding world, there may be a little wizard of your age going there with you.
Sincerely, Vice-Principal Minerva McGonagall
Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry
PS: Mr. Hagrid is a tall but kind-hearted, furry gentleman, please don’t be afraid and I wish you a happy time together. "
Hagrid? Could it be that the little wizard traveling with him was Harry Potter?
Well, it should be true. On July 31, 1991, Harry Potter’s eleventh birthday, Hagrid would give Harry a cake and punish the Dursley cousin who had been bullying Harry.
Then Hagrid will take Harry to the Leaky Cauldron in London, enter Diagon Alley through the back wall of the bar to buy magic supplies, and pick up the Philosopher's Stone stored in Gringotts.
The Sorcerer's Stone... Tiera thought of the half-finished Sorcerer's Stone that Merlin left in the library, and wondered if there was any difference between the two.
"But there are still two months left...you have to be well prepared...Although the first four grades have no danger, nothing is guaranteed. The most dangerous one is the second grade, well...basilisk, mirror, rooster, realgar, If you can buy incendiary bombs, brimstone bombs and smoke bombs, it would be even better." Tiera thought silently, the first-year Voldemort was fine, as long as he didn't follow the protagonist group around, there was basically no danger, but the basilisk was Not necessarily, it was an indiscriminate massacre of Muggles. Although no one died in the original plot, it does not mean that he was as lucky as those few.
"Thank you Merlin." Tiera said sincerely.
The day Tiera received the Hogwarts admission notice, she returned to the library and copied down the contents of the Hyperor clay tablets collected by Merlin.
Because it was written on a clay tablet, there was not much content on it, only the learning methods of Parseltongue and the cultivation techniques of basilisks, as well as some imperfect magic and curses created during Hypor's experiments.
There was also half a clay tablet that was broken and severely worn. Tiera was unable to recognize the information on it. Even Merlin's notes did not contain any record of this part. She only knew that it was some kind of large-scale magic ritual.
Learning Parseltongue requires not only certain magical skills and language talent, but also the cooperation of potions.
Needless to say, magic skills and language talents, after being blessed with the knowledge of the great race of Yis. As long as he comes into contact with the text, he can read the language simultaneously.
The pronunciation of Parseltongue itself is based on a variant of ancient Greek. Tiera has learned ancient Greek after touching the Hypol Slate. Although it is not yet proficient, it is still used to learn Parseltongue. enough.
All that's left is a potion called Hydra Poison.
As the name suggests, Hydra poison is poison, but it is not fatal. It is a by-product of Hydra's research on blood magic. It will only turn the user into a humanoid beast within twenty-four hours, but if it is combined with the magical animal Scorpion Tail Taken together with the snake's gallbladder, this poison will only make the user mute for a few months. After a few months, through proper study and practice, one can initially master Parseltongue.
Most of the medicinal ingredients in Hydra poison are found in Merlin's garden. This was confirmed by him climbing out of the pyramid in the past two days. Even if the desert thorn flower, fairy wings, grimace swan chrysalis, African tree snake skin and key parts, the feathered snake's silver shell are missing, they should still be available in ordinary potions stores.
The set of dusty hardcover printed magic textbooks collected by Merlin had already been flipped through by Tiera, and she flipped through them again after reading the Hypor Tablets. These ingredients can be found in familiar potion formulas such as Nimagus Potion. I guess they are not particularly precious.
The only problem is the gallbladder of the scorpion-tailed snake. In the 1645 edition of the Magical Creatures Illustrated Book, this snake has been hunted to the point of being endangered because of its remarkable and powerful detoxification effect. I don’t know if it is still alive after all these years.
It's best if you can learn Parseltongue, but if you can't...
If Tiera couldn't learn it, he would have to consider the items he listed before.
Among them, the realgar mirror rooster goes without saying.
Smoke bombs can block the Basilisk's sight and allow him to take advantage of the opportunity to escape at the same time. According to the setting in the movie, the Basilisk's sense of smell does not seem to be very good. As long as his sight is blocked, his probability of escaping is still greatly increased.
Incendiary bombs can instantly generate high temperatures. According to the description of the Hypor Tablet, in addition to being afraid of attack calls, the basilisk was also afraid of flames when it was young. However, as it grows older, the basilisk is no longer sensitive to flames. Tiye La speculated that this might be because as the basilisk's scales thickened, it was difficult for the temperature of ordinary flames to affect his nervous system through the thick leather armor.
But the incendiary bomb is different. Thermite can reach a temperature of 3,000 degrees in an instant, which is enough to burn steel. Not to mention the flesh and blood basilisk. Even if it will not kill because of its characteristics as a magical creature, it can still cause damage to the basilisk. There must be some obstacles to give him time to escape.
It is not difficult to configure thermite incendiary bombs. Tiera even tried it several times herself. Of course, it was not used to hit people. Instead, she used matches to ignite aluminum powder and iron dioxide in the laboratory, in response to the school policy. Popularize science chemistry experiments to high school and junior high school students around the university.
Iron dioxide, aluminum powder, and a magnesium strip for ignition are put into a glass bottle. However, it is difficult to control the detonation time when the magnesium strip is ignited.
Therefore, a basic sulfur bomb mixed with sulfur, saltpeter and carbon powder is needed, and a wet towel soaked with accelerant is used as a fuse.
Tie a piece together, and once it encounters a basilisk, light it and throw it together to generate heat that can melt metal.
Although Tiera can be considered a wizard now, including the magic of cursed worms, Tiera is quite capable of protecting herself compared to her peers.
But Tiela was a science student in his previous life, and he still habitually used technological thinking to solve problems when he encountered them.
In other words, when facing unknown dangers, Tiera will only feel safe when she holds the power of technology in her hands.
This is a concept accumulated over decades in the previous life, and it cannot be reversed by mastering a few magics in a short time.
