When he arrived at the tower, Allen went straight to the top floor.
The stars in the sky were running on the ceiling. In the middle of the yellow and blue nebula, there was a mat embroidered with magic characters. Raffles was imprisoned on this mat and sat motionless for a long time. There was a lot of food around him. His belly was round and bulging. He looked a few times bigger than when he was in Hogwarts. However, although Maggie was somewhat influenced by Dobby, she had not been influenced by Hermione after all. At least, she should still be within Neville's acceptable range.
Luna was squatting in front of Raffles, staring at Raffles with his big eyes.
The distance between Helena and Luna was much closer than usual. Helena clasped her hands in front of her and watched her mother and Raffles looking at each other. It seemed that the Muggle horror movie she watched last night was too scary.
Allen said hello casually and squatted down, but he found that there was not even a crack under Raffles's body.
"It doesn't seem to be much different from usual?" Allen asked doubtfully. Then he heard a dull knocking sound from inside. But the egg just shook and did not move. "Well, it seems that it will take a while."
"It's probably not a very strong guy." Luna tapped on the eggshell with her hand and got some more intense movements.
"Your legs are numb after squatting for a long time. Sit for a while." Allen directed the sofa in the room to move behind him. He reached out and helped Luna, whose legs and feet were numb, to sit on the sofa and continue to wait. Looking at the shaking egg, Allen reached into his pocket and took out a red enslavement gem. "I hope its head is big enough after it is born. If it is too small, it will take a while to raise it."
Luna took the enslavement gem, threw it up, and caught it with her palm. "It won't be a big threat when it is just born, especially for them who have been absorbing souls for a long time."
"As long as there is enough food, they grow very fast. They can live for a long time without taking the elixir of immortality." Allen recalled his knowledge about basilisks. "There is not much about them in books, and even less about their infancy. But if you say so, it's okay for Daisy and others to look at it directly now?"
"Wait until it grows up. Monkey Face is good at raising it." Luna responded. "I have never raised a pet."
"Father, mother, I don't think Kreacher can do it." Helena thought about the situation at home and reminded them, "He is too old … He has been persuading Maggie that if their heads can be hung on the wall after they die, it will be the highest reward they can get.."
"He is too old and stubborn...... . "..................................................................
The rooster egg wobbled under Raffles for a long time, so Raffles moved his body several times in discomfort. From time to time, the sound of knocking on the eggshell could be heard. But perhaps because the eggshell was too hard, the baby basilisk couldn't be born.
Finally, even Allen impatiently changed several positions on the sofa. Luna jumped down from the sofa again and squatted in front of Raffles in the same position that Allen had seen when he had just returned.
This time, Luna grabbed Raffles with her bare hands and threw him aside, making the toad discontentedly croak. Luna didn't care about the toad. Instead, she stretched her finger towards the rooster egg. Her finger gently touched the top of the eggshell and directly circled around the rooster egg. After that, she forcefully cracked the rooster egg.
Allen saw Luna's action and squatted down. "Hmm? Is it okay to do this? "
"Anyway, it's already formed. If there's any problem, it can be cured," Luna replied. Her hand movements didn't stop, but continued to peel the eggshell.
Finally, when the light of the starry sky above their heads penetrated through the gap, a small, soft, emerald green basilisk crawled out of the eggshell with mucus on its body. It straightened its body, and the bright red feather on its head swayed left and right with its shaking head. Its ignorant and watery yellow eyes curiously looked at Luna and Allen.
Allen felt a hot stream gushing out of his nose. It was sticky and had a rusty smell. After realizing what it was, he no longer looked at the basilisk's eyes. Instead, he quickly took out a handkerchief and wiped his nose clean.
Allen wiped his nose carelessly. He turned his head and noticed that Luna was in a similar situation as him, but the somewhat sloppy crazy girl directly raised the back of her hand and gently rubbed it on her nose. The back of her hand was stained with blood, and under her nose, the nosebleed was smeared on her face.
Seeing Luna's casual posture and embarrassed appearance, Allen took a breath in disgust. He leaned over, threw the handkerchief in his hand, and wiped Luna's cheeks carelessly, helping her clean up.
After wiping, Luna rubbed her nose uncomfortably. "You didn't wipe me so hard before."
"Who told you to scare me?" Alan replied without raising his head. Then, he used a clean handkerchief on himself.
The two bickered with each other and forgot about the ghost daughter behind them.
Helena, who had been at the side just now, also saw the basilisk's clear eyes. Almost instantly, she felt that she could no longer control her body, and it was no longer milky white and transparent. Although it wasn't to the point where it was surrounded by black smoke like Nick, who almost lost his head when Allen was in second grade, the color had become a little grayish. She was floating motionlessly three inches above the ground.
Helena wasn't completely petrified. Her whole body was paralyzed and fixed in place, but only her brain was still conscious. She thought that her parents would notice her situation and remove her from this state, but she didn't expect that after her father cleaned up her mother, the two of them would focus all their attention on the basilisk.
Allen put the handkerchief back and said to Luna, "This guy seems to be more powerful than you expected."
Luna still rubbed her nose. "His body is not strong enough, but his magic ability is stronger than average."
Allen nodded. "His body needs to be strong as long as he eats enough. Basilisks will only grow faster and bigger if they are fed more. It's a good thing that his magic ability is so strong. Otherwise, there's no way to help him improve."
Luna seemed to be in a trance. "Let Hermione or her Dobby feed it."
"She does have this talent … Let Dobby do it. Hermione under the umbrella has been too busy recently." Allen nodded in agreement. "Fortunately, it has the same proportion as Slytherin. It also has a big head and can use gems."
Helena, who was standing at the side, could only watch as they began to talk about the little life that had just been born. It was as if they had forgotten about her. However, Helena, who was paralyzed, could not make any sound.
The little basilisk looked at Allen and Luna, who were talking. Seeing that they ignored it, it crawled and tried to change its position. But at this time, Allen and Luna were already on guard. They had just turned their heads and didn't look at its eyes. Allen summoned his doppelganger and prepared to let his doppelganger deal with it. In this way, his body would naturally not be hurt by it.
The little basilisk opened its mouth and gently spat out its forked tongue. It looked at the unknown world curiously and uneasily. After Allen split into two, it just got out of the eggshell. The white bubbles in the eggshell were still hanging on its body, but it could already support its body and make a defensive posture.
"Don't be afraid. You are safe …" Allen's doppelganger, who also had bright red nosebleed on his nose, made a creepy hissing snake voice to appease the little basilisk.
The little snake monster shook its little head adorably. It lowered its body and curled its fleshy body into a ball.
Allen took out a red enslavement gem from his waist and handed it to his doppelganger Allen. Doppelganger Allen took the enslavement gem. While comforting the little basilisk with its snake voice, he gently pressed the enslavement gem on the little basilisk's forehead. Then, with a command, the little basilisk obediently stopped shaking and closed its eyes.
After dispelling the somewhat pale doppelganger, Allen and Luna turned their attention back to the basilisk.
Allen rubbed his chin and looked at the ugly and cute fellow. "This little basilisk's magic power is stronger than we expected … It's not a solution to keep its eyes closed … With the strength of Emily and the others' souls, although they shouldn't have to worry about their lives being threatened by the basilisk's gaze, it's still unavoidable that they will be petrified. Moreover, Gaia and the others are at the bottom of the tower … Maggie and the others definitely won't be able to withstand it … To be safe, we still have to put on a pair of goggles to isolate it and reduce the lethality of its gaze …"
Luna stared at the basilisk with her bulging eyes. "Make it blue."
