Harry Potter’s Book of Sin

“...transaction?” Aragog said irritably. “No matter what the deal, you put it in first!”

Marx nodded, refill the bottle in his hand and put it back in the pocket on the inside of the robe.

"Aragog. In fact, you don't have to be so nervous-"

"How can you not be nervous! How can you not be nervous! That is the ancient creature that our spiders are most afraid of! How can I not be nervous!" Aragog said violently, squeaking.

"Obviously, that stuff is not here," Marx said calmly. "The small bottle is filled with its scales - I got it myself."

“How about that!” said Aragog. “Even if you can deal with it... that thing—”

“Basilisk,” Marx added.

"Oh, damn! Can't say! We can't name it!"

When you hear the word "Basilisk", the Acromantula group is agitated. Obviously this is the same as Voldemort in the wizard, which represents terror and death.

“I just want you to get used to it,” Marx said. “This deal is obviously good for you and for all of your clansman.”

"What transaction?"

"I have checked it carefully, whether it is Basilisk--" Marx dragged his tone, and regardless of the catastrophe of the big spiders, continued, "Whether it is Basilisk or your Acromantula, it is a magic creature cultivated by the wizard."

"Maybe you are right, then?"

"That is to say, you should not have natural enemies at all." Marx as it should be by rights. "The reason why Basilisk will become the natural enemy of your Acromantula race is simply because you have been out of the cultivation of the wizard."

“You mean—” Aragog hesitated. “Do we have further powerful opportunities?”

"So I said that the wisdom of your Acromantula was just covered up by fierceness." Marx looked straight at Aragog. "If I said, I can use Basilisk's bloodline to further your Acromantula." Strengthen it?"

“Do you like being manipulated by others to play with your body!” Aragog screamed violently.

Marx suddenly turned a topic.

"Aragog, you think, why would I choose to trade with you?"

"what?"

Aragog didn't respond for a while, and paused took over the new topic of Marx.

"Well... because we are all friends of Hagrid?"

"Exactly, it's because of 'wisdom'," Marx said. "If I remember correctly, your Acromantula's favorite food is human flesh, right?"

“Yes, this is the most delicious food!”

"But you never ate it," Marx said.

“No,” Aragog slammed his feet. “I have this instinct, but out of respect for Hagrid, I have never hurt a person.”

"Then you have thought about why this is?"

"Don't I say that? Because Hagrid! Hagrid was still a little child at the time, but he took care of me, hid me in a cupboard in the castle, fed me the bread crumbs on the dinning table - Hagrid is My good friend, he is a good person! When people discover me and ask me to take responsibility for the death of a girl, he protects me."

Aragog paused, went on to say: "Since then, I have been living in this wood, Hagrid often comes to see me. He even found me a wife - Mosag. You see how our family has developed. Prosperous, this is the blessing of Hagrid..."

"Listen, Aragog." Marx raised his head slightly. "It's all right what you said. And it's because of wisdom!"

"You have enough brains and sensible feelings. If you want to, you can suppress your instinct and control your behavior." Marx hit the railroad. "This is what Basilisk can never have. They only know how to do it." Listen to life and slaughter."

"and so……"

"So, I chose to find you to do this transaction, not to find a way to control Basilisk." Marx said faintly, "...believe me, there are always ways, but I don't want to do that."

"What I want is a friend," he said softly. "This is a transaction between friends. If you feel that something is not appropriate, you can abandon the transaction at any time."

“The transaction between friends...” Aragog chewed this sentence, and it took a while to follow. “I can understand the meaning of this, but my children will not understand.”

"I certainly understand this." Marx calmly said, "So, can I talk to you about this transaction between friends?"

“Of course,” Aragog said. “But I just want to live quietly in the deep forest. This is a prerequisite.”

Aragog's implication is clear, and it does not want to participate in any form of dispute.

"Yes, that's right. My request is very simple - when your bloodline is successfully transformed, can I adopt some of the first pocket children?"

“Mosag won't agree!” Aragog decisively said, “Although I don't care too much, my wife sees every child as her baby! This is the nature of spiders!”

"It's also the nature of every creature, and I understand... I will take good care of your children, just like Hagrid." Marx barely squeezed a sincere expression, but Aragog obviously couldn't understand.

For a spider, humans are a look. Even if it is Hagrid, it is at best a little stronger than the ordinary person. In this regard, he is just working hard.

"I can only help you ask."

Aragog used this sentence to end the "human and spider" trading talks.

Unlike when it came, Marx enjoyed the Acromantula mount, a luxurious etiquette that Hagrid had never experienced.

The benefits of the eight legs are reflected here, and the shock absorption effect is awesome!

Aragog's child sent Marx to the edge of Forbidden Forest. After Marx slid down from his back, it threw away eight legs and hurried away.

On the way back to the castle, Marx walked and thought carefully about what to do next.

To put it bluntly, if it wasn’t because the test was a bit difficult, he had thought about it.

When a series of changes in the last semester became a foregone conclusion, Marx decided that it would no longer act passively. Although he only wants to be quiet as a research-type wizard, many things can be done without thinking. It is definitely not a bad thing to plan ahead.

Acromantula grows very fast, and its reproductive capacity is quite strong. If it is properly cultivated, it can be as high as Basilisk in terms of price/performance ratio.

It's just that bloodline transforms this kind of thing, but it is simple to say and complicated to do. Fortunately, Merlin's "Book of the Book" is available in the library, and the research on bloodline has been quite deep; Marx himself has selected a lot of experimental data from Rowena's Chamber of Secrets.

"It’s still the same time, time is not enough..." Marx shook his head and walked quickly to Dormitory.

……

In the days that followed, trivia came one after another.

First, the date of the exam is coming soon. In the midst of the students’ sighs, it’s still coming.

Then there is Mandrake, they are almost mature. This means that those students who are petrified can be saved.

Then there is the matter between Marx and Ron.

Occasionally Marx will go to the hospital to see Hermione, but if he hits Ron, he will always become Ron's face and look at him in anger.

Even though Marx didn't care about it, Harry would have become very difficult.

One day, Harry and Ron bumped into Marx again in the ward.

When Ron glared at Marx, Harry found something in Hermione's hand that seemed to be licking. He looked carefully and looked at it, and immediately when Madam Pomfrey was standing between Marx and Ron, he took out Hermione's hand.

Marx naturally noticed that because he came so often, it was to witness this incident.

Since Harry has taken the note out, he can leave.

Marx expressionless glanced at Ron and immediately turned and walked outside the door, quickly disappearing into Ron's angry sight.

After a little while, Harry glared at Ron and walked out of the ward.

"Look at this!" Harry whispered, "I found it from Hermione's hand."

This is a piece of paper that was torn from a very old library collection.

Harry couldn't wait to unfold it, and Ron got together, and the two read together:

In our country, there are many terrifying wild beasts and monsters, the most bizarre and most lethal of Basilisk, also known as the snake king.

The snake can be very large in size and can usually live for hundreds of years. It is hatched from a rooster egg by a dragonfly.

The way it kills is amazing. In addition to its deadly fangs, Basilisk's contempt can also kill people. Anyone who is stared at by his eyes will die immediately.

When the spider sees Basilisk, it will run away, because Basilisk is the deadly enemy of the spider, and Basilisk will only escape when he hears the rooster's cry, because the rooster's cry is fatal to it.

Below this passage, there are two words: pipe.

"This is Hermione's handwriting," Harry exclaimed excitedly. "I think I understand!"

This crumpled book page became a bright light in Harry's mind, guiding all the lost ships and finding the right route.

Obviously, Marx's remedy is undoubtedly successful, and the end is exactly what he wants.

"Ron," he was so excited that he could barely breathe. "That's it. The answer is here. The monster in Chamber of Secrets is Basilisk - it's a giant snake! No wonder I can hear the sound wherever I go, but others Can't hear. Because I can understand Parseltongue..."

"Oh, yes." Ron looked back and looked at Hermione, who was stiff in the ward. "She left the most important information to us..."

"...not the Marx she has always trusted." Ron added.

Somehow, Ron's heart showed a hint of pleasure.
