Who let this Dementor into Hogwarts!

Chapter 116 Slytherin's Back-up Plan

"Even though you're yelling like that, I know you'll definitely do it."

Cohen looked at the Count with sincere and warm eyes.

"Why are you looking so strange..." the Count asked suspiciously. Then the two sharp feathers on his head stood up, his eyes filled with fear. "Wait a minute—why are there two basilisks in the school? Damn—wait a minute—that laboratory—you—"

"So smart," Cohen praised.

"Am I going to die?" the count said calmly. "I knew this would be the outcome the day you bought me—ha, snake, not only did you sneak into my lair before, but now you're still clinging to me..."

"Do you have paranoid delusions?" Cohen asked.

"No, I have you."

The Count seemed to have lost all his strength and resources.

"Thanks Merlin, it's my great fortune to be the owl of a Dementor, an Incubus, and a Basilisk. If owls had a history, I would definitely be the bravest and most powerful one in the history of owls."

The Count couldn't refuse Cohen, but Cohen didn't insist on him dying.

"Just blindfold yourself." Cohen tied a black silk ribbon around the earl. "You just need to hold your wand as a witness. It doesn't matter whether you see him or not. There's no need for an unbreakable oath."

"Snakes eat birds," the blindfolded count warned desperately, "I feel even more insecure now that I can't see!"

"They won't hurt you. I'm here for you," Cohen comforted.

--------

"Hiss..." (Son, you're bringing food already?)
In the secret room, Sissoko looked at the blindfolded owl brought by Cohen with appetite.

"Hiss, hiss, hiss..." (This is the owl I raised. If I eat it, do you want me to send letters every day?)

Cohen moved away Sissoko's huge snake head that was stretched towards the count.

"Hiss..." (It will bear witness later, and the unbreakable oath will take effect.)
"I don't understand, I don't understand!" the Count said in a trembling voice, "You are not discussing how to cook me better, are you? Wait... Hairless, are you still alive? Have you been eaten by your own father?"

"No, be quiet, it's about to begin." Cohen replied to the Earl, "Grab the wand."

The Count was placed by Cohen on a stone that was transformed into a table. He was blindfolded and holding the wand Cohen bought for him in his claws, facing Cohen and the basilisk Sissoko.

It had no idea what Cohen and the basilisk, whose size was unknown, were hissing.

Cohen and Sissoko completed the Unbreakable Vow process smoothly - Sissoko was not as resistant as Yali was at the time, probably because he often wandered around outside and just wanted to play badly - Yali's desire for freedom was much stronger than Sissoko's.

“Where’s that old basilisk in the Chamber of Secrets?” Cohen hissed at Sissoko. “Where did it go?”

"He's back home." Sissoko nuzzled Cohen's face. The cold scales gave him a warm feeling. This was the blood connection to the magical world. "He's a little depressed. He's never left the castle in his life. He's been helping that guy named Salazar guard this place. And because of this, he's being hunted by the wizards in the castle..."

"It's not impossible to take it with us." Cohen planned the next step.

Voldemort must still want to continue commanding the basilisk to attack. Cohen first carried the basilisk away. Without a nose, he could only shout "Where is my basilisk? Where is such a big basilisk?" and then nothing happened -

But where can we keep the two basilisks?
I have to feed them meat every day...

"How big a place do you want to live in?" Cohen asked, "I have a large territory hidden in a box, but there are many other small animals in it. Once you move in, they will easily die in large numbers - and then I will have to raise new ones..." Norbert and Ali will most likely not be killed by the stare. It's because of their bloodline as a dragon, and Ali is immune to curses. This is the case with powerful creatures.

But Norbert's rations were different - those dwarf pig monsters and sheep would die if they saw each other, and then Norbert would have to eat hundreds of sheep in one meal.

"Can I dig a hole?" Sissoko asked with great adaptability. "A quiet place to lie down is enough. Son, I don't have high material requirements. Can you give me a few female--"

"I was going to get you a house," Cohen said calmly, "but now you're stuck living in a basement. You can't even move your tail in there."

Outside, we have to call the Desert Death ()

Normal snakes would die in seconds after being looked at by it. How could Cohen steal a few female basilisks for it? Besides, basilisks might not be able to give birth to cubs like mules. No one could expect the creatures hatched from rooster eggs by toads to continue to reproduce.

But Sissoko still looked very happy - Cohen suspected that it didn't care about the size of the residence or whether there were any female snakes. It was optimistic that as long as it had a place to eat and live, it could lie down.

"Let's take that old basilisk with us as well. It's a bit unbearable to watch." Cohen asked Sissoko to call out the old basilisk. Since it was here, they could take it away together - after all, it was Sissoko who had to share a room with it, not Cohen.

I'll tinker with it in my spare time and see if I can build a burrow for them.

[Ding! Goodwill value +100]

[Note: I was so moved]
Why are the system notes so... weird?

I don't know if it was because of rescuing the old basilisk or because of the idea I just had of building a crypt for them - but it's a good thing to earn goodwill points.

"Have you left? Have you left?" The count felt as stiff as a stone.

"There's another round later." Cohen patted the earl's head.

Sissoko crawled into the Chamber of Secrets through the hole in the huge statue of Slytherin, and soon the old basilisk was brought out.

"Come on, brothers, good days are coming!" Sissoko used his tail to pull the old basilisk that was crawling slower - shoulder to shoulder, from the snake's perspective.

"Really..." asked the old basilisk hopefully.

Cohen suddenly felt his conscience, like a small stone was sticking in his heart, because the scene looked like a gang kidnapping and trafficking the lonely old snake from Hogwarts, and this lonely old snake was extremely eager to go out and become a slave.

However, this feeling was fleeting, and the conscience would only bother him for a few seconds. Cohen now only saw a bright future with two basilisks as secret weapons.

"It's real." Cohen said to the old basilisk.

Cohen went through the same formulaic process with the old basilisk again—but the result was somewhat different this time.

The old basilisk didn't resist at all, and was even a little impatient, but the magic didn't produce any sparks or special effects.

There was another spell that blocked the unbreakable oath - the residual magic of the basilisk.

"Don't even think about taking Slytherin's property..."

An old and hoarse voice sounded - Cohen had never heard this voice before, but there was no doubt that the person who left this voice was Slytherin.
