After obtaining the soul fragments of the mysterious man, Allen and Luna went to check on Raffles.
The golden-backed toad, Raffles, was a large toad with swollen venom glands and a fat body. At this time, he was lying firmly in his nest. His golden back, densely covered with tiny warts, was somewhat frightening in the light. Moreover, he was not a toad that liked to be quiet. Neville often had to look for him everywhere.
But when Allen and Luna came in to see him, he was lying motionless on a forest bed covered with fallen leaves. Raffles just raised his black eyes and looked at Luna. He raised his yellow-brown striped jaw and made a "gua" sound, as if he was greeting Luna.
"Igor Kakarov said that the paranoid Alastor Moody once smashed it into pieces on the spot because he suspected that the birthday gift he received contained a snake monster egg that pretended to be ingenious. Only then did he realize that it was a travel alarm clock …" Alan only realized that he had a slight trypophobia after observing Lyle closely. "Hagrid also used fire crabs and manticores to make fried tail snails. These things that were artificially cultivated by the sorcerers actually still retain their fertility …"
"Raffles, you'll be free after the baby hatches." Luna leaned over and tapped Raffles' big head. She had controlled Raffles with magic before and forced him, who liked to travel and explore, to stay on the forest bed and hatch eggs. "Speaking of which, since the Middle Ages, it has been regarded as illegal to breed snake monsters. But this kind of behavior is easy to hide because people only need to take the eggs away from the toad before the officials arrive."
"That's because it's too dangerous for normal adepts. Just looking at it is enough to kill someone. The snake monster's venom is also much more powerful than Nagini's. It can kill someone in a matter of minutes, and cause them to feel dizzy, blurry vision, and hallucinate before they die. The effects of this venom are long-lasting. Even if the basilisk's body has been dead for many years, the original venom it produces will still be effective. It can even be used to destroy inanimate objects so that they can't be repaired. Dumbledore used the Gryffindor sword that was infected with the basilisk's venom to destroy a soul armament. " Allen wanted to lift Raffles up, but he gave up when he saw the bumps on Raffles' body. "But this thing is afraid of roosters. Is it afraid of its father or mother?"
"That's why I didn't dare to bring it back to my house in Ottery Saint Catchpole Village to hatch it. There are too many chickens in the Weasley family's shack next door. They would crow on time every morning …" Luna half-squatted down and placed her hand on her knee. "Just like what Fawkes had shown before, the phoenix is immune to the deadly gaze of the basilisk. The gaze of a newly hatched basilisk can also kill people."
"The first recorded basilisk in history was made by the despicable Helbo …" Allen thought of the basilisk he had fought with. "How did you make me activate the basilisk's voice? It's usually hereditary. My father and mother's family should have almost no such rare ability. "
"You said it yourself that it's' usually 'hereditary. It's a trick invented by Monkey Face. He wasn't born with it." Luna put her hand under the toad's belly and touched the rooster's egg. "It's not a very useful ability. You might even be treated as a black wizard. It's basically the same as a language proficiency that allows you to speak but not write, or an understanding animal that allows you to communicate with the frequency and is willing to communicate with you. The reason why I made this for you was mainly because Monkey Face left his pet behind."
"Many wizards are indeed afraid of this ability. Connelly Fudge refused to believe what Harry said about the fact that Lord Voldemort had been resurrected. More or less, he was biased against Harry because he could speak the basilisk's voice … Harry obtained the basilisk's voice from the soul fragment left in his body by Tom. Speaking of which, I just considered using the soul fragments in the soul vessels of Harry and Gringotte." Allen pulled back Luna's hand and cleaned it up for her. Raffles couldn't move during this period of time, so he ate, drank, and defecated on it. "If we take out Harry's soul fragment, he will lose the ability to speak the basilisk's voice. Although I think he'll be happy to do so … I think this ability is very useful for us. If it's easy to get, let's give it to the rest of the family."
"Isn't it in the book that Monkey Face left you? Didn't you give it to Dumbledore and keep a copy for yourself? " Luna asked and then said, "Well, you were right to focus on magic that could help you in battle and didn't pay attention to this … If the rest of the family wants to get it, they can learn the ritual by themselves. Tonks' disguise, Magus, is not a problem. These aren't very useful abilities. Just like what Grindelwald and the previous Ministry of Magic did, those who have a little bit of achievement in shapeshifting can use shapeshifting to maintain their shapeshifting."
"I don't know if Dumbledore has the energy to look at it, but even if he does, I don't think he wants any of his students to get this ability that will make them look like black wizards. Besides, we can't use it ourselves, but our descendants can. If they get it, they can pass it on, right? If the descendants of Albert or Daisy … "Allen, who realized that he didn't know what to say, was a little embarrassed." I'm just giving an example. You know they can be a little straightforward sometimes … But if, if their descendants aren't very talented, then if they inherit these abilities, at least they will have some bright spots. "
"After a few generations, there will be too many descendants in the family. The Arcane Garden can't provide magic enhancement potions for everyone, unless they are planted outside to increase the production." Luna seemed to agree with Allen's concern. "These two are possible, but prophecy is not. But after the Department of Mysteries studies and obtains the prophecy ability, the descendants will probably be in a similar situation as Trelawney."
At this time, the two wizards heard the clatter of hooves behind them.
"Allen!" Gaia, the unicorn, trotted from the other side of the room. Tina, the bird snake, spread its huge wings and flew above her.
"You're here to see it?" Gaia's big round eyes looked at Raffles worriedly. "Allen, what are you hatching? I feel that this thing is similar to the monster in the secret room of the Hogwarts when you were in the second grade. "
Tina circled a few times above Raffles and let herself shrink, landing on Gaia's head. "Although the Phoenix from before had a bad personality and wasn't very friendly, at least it didn't really want to kill anyone …"
Gaia pawed her front hooves uneasily. "This aura is very ominous. If it gives birth to a new peak...
Come … I'm worried about my little hooves … "
"Gaia, Tina, don't worry. Although you guessed right and this is indeed the same thing as the Hogwarts, its gaze will only be fatal when it reaches adulthood. After it hatches, I'll put a crystal eye mask on its eyes. Also, I won't put it in the tower for a long time." Allen hugged Gaia's head and patted it to comfort it.
Magical animals were different from humans. They were always very trusting of their friends. After hearing Allen's promise, Gaia put down her worries for a while. Instead, she was curious about the new life that was about to be born. "Allen, how long will it take for it to be born?"
"I'm not too sure about that." Allen's mind was now on stroking the horse's head. Then, he remembered that Anka was not on this floor, so he took the opportunity to rub his face against Tina's beak. "But, I definitely won't put you in danger."
Luna was a little envious, so she took out a carrot and a live cockroach from her waist bag, which only Merlin knew was filled with strange things. After bribing the unicorn and the bird snake, she joined in stroking the magical animals.
