Putting aside Stephen's current state of mind, Jon did not know how to help him adjust, so he could only work without talking.
He was very confident in Stephen and believed that this guy could adjust himself. There was no need for him to worry about anything.
He could only think so. After all, he was not good at comforting people. Sometimes, if he said something wrong, it was easy to push other people's emotions in a worse direction.
Besides, compared to his personal emotions, he still had a lot of things to do.
Not counting the matters in ancient Egypt, there was still the snake monster suppressed in the Shadow of the Hogwarts, and he, who was about to face the advancement, and the toxins in his body that had been transformed from the waste blood that needed to be digested. The closer he was to the advancement, the more toxins there would be in his body.
Stephen still had things to do, so he did not stay here for long. When Lohat came in the evening, he would come to see the professor again. After all, he did not go to class.
So from now until night, Jon had a little more than two hours of free time.
Let's look at the snake monster first.
Chown tapped the air with his finger, and a few books on the bookshelf jumped up and flew to his side.
This was not the Flying Spell. It was just a small trick that Grindelwald had taught him, but it was too useful in his field.
"Snake monster …"
He flipped through the book in front of him and looked at the illustrations inside.
When it came to snake monsters, it could not avoid this Black Wizard named Helbo.
Helbo was an ancient Greek Dark Sorcerer. He was also one of the earliest known Dark Sorcerers. (At that time, Dark Sorcerers were still called Evil Sorcerers. It was only after war magic was completely split that they were collectively called Dark Sorcerers.) Even today, many of his research still influenced Dark Magic.
This person was considered the first Wizard to cultivate a snake monster. He was one of the early Snake Monsters and was thus famous. In addition, he also invented many evil curses and became the first Wizard to successfully make soul tools.
Jon fiddled with his fingers and found another book.
This book was borrowed from the library. Before leaving school last year, he had borrowed many books from the library and then returned them, leaving only a few books that he did not take back.
This book was one of them. It recorded a bit of the snake monster's story.
"In our country, there are many terrifying beasts and monsters. Among them, the most bizarre and lethal is the snake monster, also known as the Snake King. This snake can grow to a very large size, and usually lives for hundreds of years. It was hatched from an egg by a toad. The snake monster's way of killing people was very shocking. In addition to its deadly fangs, its glare could also kill people. Anyone who was stared at by it would immediately lose their life. When a spider sees a snake monster, it will run away because the snake monster is the spider's mortal enemy. When a snake monster hears a rooster's cry, it will run away in panic because the rooster's cry is fatal to it. "
Of course, the Basilisk was not a snake. This kind of snake-like creature was more like a petrified lizard. But lizards and snakes had a lot in common, so both creatures were controlled by the Basilisk. This kind of innate magic was actually not rare, but anything that was related to a snake would make people feel terrified.
"Basilisks can grow up to fifty feet long, with dark green skin and yellow eyes. The Basilisk's eyes can instantly kill any person or animal that makes eye contact with it. The surface of the Basilisk's skin is covered with scales, which can bounce off spells. Like other snakes, the Basilisk will regularly shed its skin during the process of growth. "
The Basilisk's eyes were the most powerful, but it was also the Basilisk's only weakness. There was nothing strange about this, it was very common sense.
This kind of magical beast's life was extremely long. Naturally, its lifespan was more than nine hundred years. Under the control of the Basilisk, it could enter a state of suspended animation, so the Basilisk belonging to Salazar Slytherin lived until now. In the western magic world, except for the mythical Serpent Jörmungandr, only the Basilisk could be called the Snake King.
The Basilisk's natural enemy … was birds, but they had to be birds of the level of the Undead Bird. Jon's Mystic Bird might be counted as one — if it was a real life and not a guardian angel.
But these were all appearances, not the real content. Jon was very curious about what the real background was. Why would Salazar keep a Basilisk? This Basilisk's existence was definitely not to hurt the students in the school. No matter what the legendary Wizard thought, he would never attack his students.
As for the deeper things, he would have to ask Naughty Ghost, the principal's secretary.
"If you called me here because of such a small matter, I can only say that you are really too bored. What's there to think about? The Basilisk's existence is to protect the school, isn't it? "
As the person who knew the most secrets in the Hogwarts, Naughty Ghost could only say that he had never thought that Jon would put in so much effort into this kind of thing.
Was he not busy enough? He thought that Jon was beginning to be overwhelmed because of the things outside.
"Busy is busy, but it's not to the extent that I don't have time to deal with things. Besides, I'm only in my third year. How can there be so many things for me to deal with? Wake up. Besides, you don't have that many things to be busy with. The principal has not been in the school recently. Isn't he busy with that matter?"
That matter was the matter that Jon's company was also busy with. Although there had been a slight reversal in the market recently, Jon knew the reason best. Before the storm, there would always be a final burst of light.
But the most violent impact would only begin in half a month. Dumbledore was busy during this time, adjusting the movements of various forces. When the American Black Wizard left Dumbledore, he left a lot of information for him to deal with in Germany and France. Those Black Wizards lurking in the dark and those who shielded them were not easy to deal with.
In the end, Dumbledore was not Grindelwald.
"Besides, your so-called busy time, other than destroying things in the castle, is going to the theater. This afternoon, Teacher Lohat gave the third years the first class. Did you also go to watch?"
"Okay, okay."
Naughty Ghost, who was exposed, did not resist. Anyway, at this time, he could not watch the comedy class later. Lohat's jokes were still very interesting. Maybe he could listen to a few more in Jon's place.
"If you have to ask, it's not that I can't tell you. But at the very beginning, you have to understand one thing. The Basilisk you mentioned is not an ordinary Basilisk.
His name is Basris Slytherin. "
