The Basilisk has a name?
This was something that Jon did not expect.
"The Slythrin family name is given to a snake … You're not telling me that this Basilisk is the guardian of the Slythrin family, right?"
"Something like that. But Basilisk's intelligence isn't low. I suggest that you don't speak so bluntly. Although the pronunciation of the word 'Basilisk' is very similar to his name, he definitely won't like to hear you call him that … Of course, he can't hear it now, but no one knows when he will hear it, right?"
"That's not the important part. I just want to know, if he exists to protect the Hogwarts, why is he suppressed in the school?"
"Because he's a Basilisk!" Naughty Ghost said matter-of-factly. "How can a Basilisk be casually released? It's very dangerous, so if there's no specific need in the school, he'll usually stay down there, unless … Oh, right, I just remembered, did you get attacked by him?"
Jon actually heard what Naughty Ghost skipped, but it was not a bad thing. There were some things that Jon should not know now, and there was no need for him to tell the truth that he knew.
He just had to pretend not to know. Anyway, Naughty Ghost would tell him.
Many of the things that he was talking to Naughty Ghost about were related to the secrets of the Hogwarts. It was normal for him to know a lot of things, but Helga had been sleeping for so long, and some things would not have disappeared. Helga told him that Naughty Ghost was Helga's secretary at the very beginning. He even knew Helga's character better than Jon.
The existence of the Basilisk was actually related to some of the private lives of the four founders. These things would not be told to Jon, the successor, unless it was necessary.
And in any case, the Basilisk was not within this scope of necessity.
Naughty Ghost did not care about what Jon was thinking. He just wanted to quickly explain this ancient matter so that it would not drag on for a while. "The Basilisk of Slythrin is actually the same as me.
In the early days of the Hogwarts, this castle was not like it is now. It did not have the powerful deterrent force that you see now. At that time, the castle could only be considered a grassroots organization. It had just started to recruit students and had just started to have teachers. At that time, the castle was just a seed left behind by the Wizard's camp. It was not like a base camp yet. At that time, although the Wizard's camp was crushed by the Church, there were still many defensive fortresses on the high ground. Moreover, although the school had four legendary Wizards at that time, they were not considered a very decisive force in the entire camp. In that era, there were too many legendary existences.
However, although the Wizard's strength was strong, the Church had a God after all. This was a gap that could not be closed. Although the God disappeared without a trace, the Church's power had never been reduced. In fact, this was a normal phenomenon. After all, humans were always obsessed with miracles, and miracles that existed in the world basically belonged to the Church.
This phenomenon may have continued until a few years after the school was established. In the long time after the disappearance of the gods, the divine power left behind was gradually draining away. In addition to the consumption of the divine power, the Holy See did not have much divine power left. Because of this, the Holy See launched an unprecedented war.
The final result of this war was that the Wizard's Alliance suffered a great loss. Outside the Hogwarts. Four of the seven legendary Wizards died, and the remaining three legendary Wizards were severely injured. They had no choice but to enter the Hogwarts to recuperate. But even so, they could not avoid the fate of death in the end.
In the end, the Hogwarts inexplicably became the place where all the power of the Wizard's Alliance survived. As the four legendary founders of the new generation, they also had to bear the pressure of the fate of the entire Wizard's Alliance. This time, the school also ushered in its first prosperity.
In order to prevent the situation from happening again, many of the Hogwarts's defense facilities were reinforced. The three prisons you see were also built at this time. Do you know why the Shadow of the Hogwarts has the largest capacity of the three prisons? Although the four founders were the strongest at that time, there were still many Wizard's who did not listen to their orders. These people could not be thrown into the underground palace to be executed, and the punishment of putting them in the Misty Forest would be too light. So, the Shadow of the Hogwarts was born. Once you enter that place, it is equivalent to a life sentence, but you are not completely imprisoned there. There is still a possibility of you being released. So, the Shadow of the Hogwarts became the best place to put these troublemakers. "
"If that's the case, then it is indeed something. But why was the Basilisk imprisoned there? Seriously speaking, I don't think Senior Salazar found out that his pet was a violent maniac at that time, right? "
Jon said "vengefully". But this was also the truth. After all, he was indeed attacked by the Basilisk.
After all, this is the property of the Slythrin Family. Leaving the Basilisk here is only to guard this place. The Basilisk's hibernation time is very short. Even if it has the Basilisk's voice, it can only delay the hibernation time for ten years. In order to let the Basilisk live longer, it needs someone to feed it to ensure that it does not die. At the same time, it can trigger the sound recording magic array here to play the Basilisk's voice again after ten years, causing Basilisk to hibernate again. To be honest, although there is a small flaw, Basilisk has never rebelled for so many years. "
Jon continued smoothly, "But?"
"But fifty years ago, our young Dark Lord found a message left behind by his ancestors. Then he opened the secret chamber and used the Basilisk's voice to control Basilisk to hurt people. I told you, he has a certain level of intelligence. Plus, with the orders left in his mind by Mr. Slythrin, he was very flustered. Because he was forcefully awakened from his sleep, the following years in the school were not very peaceful. At that time, I was always the one dealing with him, mainly feeding him food and so on. I have always been doing these things in the past, so practice makes perfect.
As for why you encountered the collision this morning, it was because he suddenly woke up early for some reason. This time, the Hogwarts's consciousness recovered a little, so he was suppressed. That was why he had that impulse. But I don't know if it was because he slept for too long and did not eat enough, but Basilisk's condition was not very good. "
