Harry Potter’s Book of Sin

"...Deal?" Aragok said irritably, "No matter what the deal, you put that thing away first!"

Maca nodded, re-corked the bottle in his hand and put it back into the pocket inside the robe.

"Aragok. In fact, you don't need to be so nervous—"

"How can we not be nervous! How can we not be nervous! That is the ancient creature that our spiders fear the most! How can I not be nervous!" Aragok said grumpily, clicking loudly.

"Obviously, that thing is not here," Maca calmly said. "The little bottle contains its scales-I got it down by myself."

"So what!" Aragok said, "Even if you can handle it... that thing—"

"Basilisk." Maca added.

"Oh, damn! Can't tell! We can't tell its name!"

Hearing the word "bassilisk", the group of eight-eyed giant spiders was agitated. Obviously, this was like Voldemort among wizards, which represented terror and death.

"I just want you to adapt," Maca said. "This deal is obviously good for you and all of your people."

"What deal?"

"I've checked carefully, whether it's a basilisk--" Maca dragged his tone, and regardless of the turmoil of those big spiders, continued, "Whether it is a basilisk or your eight-eyed giant spiders, they are all cultivated by wizards. Magic creatures coming out."

"Maybe you are right, then what?"

"In other words, you shouldn't have natural enemies at all." Maca said naturally, "The reason why the Basilisk will become the natural enemy of your eight-eyed giant spider clan is simply because you have left the cultivation of wizards."

"You mean—" Aragok hesitated, "Do we have a chance to be stronger?"

"That's why I said that the wisdom of your eight-eyed giant spiders is only concealed by ferocity." Maca stared directly at Aragok with piercing eyes, "If I say, I can use the basilisk Does your bloodline further strengthen your eight-eyed giant spider?"

"Do you like being manipulated with your body by others!" Aragok shouted irritably.

But Maca suddenly changed the subject.

"Aragok, why do you think I would choose to make a deal with you?"

"what?"

Aragok didn't react for a while, and after a pause, he took over Maca's new topic.

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

"To be precise, it's because of'wisdom'." Maca said, "If I remember correctly, your favorite food for eight-eyed giant spiders is human flesh, right?"

"Yes, this is the most delicious food!"

"But you have never eaten it." Maca continued.

"No," Aragok clicked his foot, "I have this instinct, but out of respect for Hagrid, I have never hurt anyone."

"Then have you ever wondered why this is?"

"Didn’t I say that? Because Hagrid! Hagrid was just a child at the time, but he took care of me, hid me in a cupboard in the castle, and fed me the breadcrumbs that had been withdrawn from the dining table. Ge is my good friend, he is a good man! When people found me and asked me to take responsibility for the death of a girl, he protected me."

Aragoc paused, then continued: "I have lived in this woods ever since, and Hagrid often visits me. He even found me a wife-Mosag. You see To how prosperous our family is, this is thanks to Hagrid..."

"Listen, Aragog." Maca raised his head slightly, "All of this you said is correct. And this is because of wisdom!"

"You have enough brains, reason and emotion. If you want,

"and so……"

"So, I chose to find you for this transaction, rather than trying to control the basilisk." Maca said lightly, "...trust me, there is always a way, but I don't want to do that."

"What I want is friends." He said softly, "This is a deal between friends. If you think something is inappropriate, you can give up the deal at any time."

"A deal between friends..." Aragok chewed this sentence, and after a while he continued, "I can understand the meaning of it, but my children won't understand."

"Of course I understand." Maca said calmly, "So, can I talk to you about the deal between this friend?"

"Of course." Aragok said, "But, I just want to live quietly in the deep forest. This is an absolutely unchanged premise."

Aragok's meaning is very clear, 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 children?"

"Mossag won't agree!" Aragok said decisively, "Although I don't care too much, my wife treats every child as her baby! This is the nature of spiders!"

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

To a spider, human beings are all the same.Even Hagrid, at best, is stronger than ordinary people. In this regard, he is just wasting his efforts.

"I can only help you ask."

With these words, Aragok ended the "Man and Spider" trade meeting.

Unlike when he came, when he went back, Maca enjoyed the eight-eyed giant spider mount, which was a luxurious etiquette that Hagrid had never experienced.

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

Aragok's children sent Maca to the edge of the Forbidden Forest, and when Maca slipped off his back, it hurried away with eight legs.

On the way back to the castle, Maca walked, thinking carefully about what to do next.

To put it bluntly, if it wasn't for this test that was really difficult, he would have wanted to do it a long time ago.

When a series of changes in the last semester became a foregone conclusion, Maca has decided not to act passively.Although he only wants to be a research wizard quietly, many things can't be done just by thinking. It's definitely not a bad thing to plan ahead.

The eight-eyed giant spider grows very fast, and its reproductive ability is quite strong. If it is properly cultivated, it can be cost-effective than the basilisk.

It's just that bloodline transformation is simple to say but very complicated to do.Fortunately, there is Merlin's "Book of Juez" in the library for reference. The research on blood lineage has been quite in-depth; and Maca himself, originally selected a lot of experimental data from Royna's secret room. .

"That said, time is really not enough..." Maca shook his head and walked quickly to the dormitory.

...

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

First, the test date was almost here, and amidst the sighs of the students, the one who should have arrived was as promised.

Then came Mandrakes, they were about to mature.This means that those students who are petrified can be saved.

Then, it was the matter between Maca and Ron.

Occasionally, Maca would go to the hospital to see Hermione, but if he met Ron, it would always turn into Ron staring at him angrily.

Even though Maca didn't care about it at all, Harry would become very embarrassed.

One day, Harry and Ron ran into Maca again in the ward.

When Ron glared at Maca, Harry found that Hermione seemed to be holding something.He leaned forward to take a closer look, and then took out what was in Hermione's hand while Madam Pomfrey was standing between Maca and Ron with a headache.

Maca naturally noticed, because the reason why he came so frequently was just to witness this incident.

Now that Harry had taken the note out, he could leave.

Maca gave Ron a blank expression, then turned around and walked out the door decisively, and soon disappeared into Ron's angry eyes.

After a short while, Harry dragged Ron out of the ward.

"Look at this!" Harry whispered, "I found it in Hermione's hands."

This is a page torn from a very old library book.

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

In our country, there are many terrifying beasts and monsters. Among them, the most bizarre and lethal is the Basilisk, also known as the Serpent King.

The size of this snake can become very huge, usually can live for hundreds of years, it is hatched from a toad from a male egg.

The way it kills is amazing. In addition to its deadly fangs, the stare of the basilisk can also cause death. Anyone who is caught by its gaze will immediately die.

Spiders will run away when they see the basilisk, because the basilisk is the spider's mortal enemy, and the basilisk will only run away if he hears the rooster's cry, because the rooster's cry is also fatal to it.

Below this passage, there are two words: pipe.

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

This crumpled page became a beacon in Harry's mind, guiding all the lost ships to find the correct route.

Obviously, Maca's remedial action was undoubtedly successful, and this ending is exactly what he wanted.

"Ron," he was almost breathless with excitement, "that's it. The answer is here. The monster in the secret room is a basilisk—a giant snake! No wonder I can hear that sound everywhere, but others I can’t hear it. Because I can understand Snake Lie..."

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

"...Not the Maca she has always trusted." Ron added secretly.

For some reason, Ron's heart was filled with happiness.
