Chapter 330： Created monster (1/2)
”Cheers to the exam results!”
Under the beech trees by the Black Lake, Albert and his party who just finished their final exams are holding up cold butter beers and clinking to each other to celebrate everyone finally getting rid of the sultry classroom and the shadow of the final exam.
After half a cup of Butterbeer, most of the sultry heat of June dissipated, and a breeze blew from the lake, bringing a bit of coolness.
”You said, how many years has the big squid in the black lake lived!” Fred looked at the big squid lying in the warm shallow water basking in the sun, and casually found a topic.
”Hundreds of years?”
”Ordinary animals can't live that long, right!”
The three looked at Albert, waiting for each other's answer.
”Who knows?”
Albert lay on the recliner transformed by the Transfiguration Curse and yawned lazily: ”The big squid should have lived for many years. I doubt it was the pet of the Big Four in the Black Lake.”
”Possibly, I heard that the big squid will not harm the students at Hogwarts. If you accidentally fall into the water when crossing the lake, it will send the students to the boat.” Lee Jordan said, fiddled with the branches. Its tentacles, as a result, the tentacles of the big squid patted the lake water, splashing Lee Jordan all over.
Fred and George couldn't help but look at this scene.
”Ordinary animals can't live so long.” Fred didn't believe Albert's words.
”Yes, Phoenix is fine.” Albert reminded.
The three of them couldn't help rolling their eyes.
”What about Phoenix?”
”The basilisk may also live a long time.” Albert said mysteriously.
”Basilisk, what is that?”
”In a very old book at Hogwarts, it is recorded that in our country, there are many terrible beasts and monsters. Among them, the most bizarre and most lethal is the basilisk, also known as Snake king. This kind of snake can become very large, and can usually live for hundreds of years. It is hatched from a male egg and from a toad.”
”You actually memorized the contents of the book.” Fred looked at Albert in shock and couldn't help muttering, ”How free are you!”
”Is there a problem with your concern?” Albert was speechless immediately.
”It was hatched from a male egg, from a...toad?” George felt strange.
”Well, the basilisk is a magical creature made by a dark wizard. It has amazing lethality. I heard that the basilisk's stare can kill people. Anyone who is stared at by its gaze will immediately die.” Albert deliberately stared. Eyes, ”Like this.”
”Can the basilisk stare to death?” The three obviously didn't believe it.
”Probably! I'm not sure.” Albert continued, ”That's the information I found last time when I checked the Eight-Eyed Giant Spider. The Basilisk likes to eat spiders. It is the natural enemy of the Eight-Eyed Giant Spider.”
”Do you think the big squid is also a magical creature made by a wizard?” Lee Jordan understood what Albert meant.
”Well, I think the big squid may be a magical creature made by the Big Four. They arranged it in the Black Lake as a strong line of defense for Hogwarts.” Albert thought for a while and said, ”If anyone wants to cross If the lake attacks Hogwarts, they will be attacked by big squids on the lake and capsized, all sinking to the bottom of the lake to feed the fish.”
”Why do you think this way?” George asked curiously.
