Barrow’s words made Solim feel a little bad, if Riddle has absolute dominance over Basque, that is, as long as Riddle is allowed to contact Basque, then Basque will be controlled by him. Even parseltongues like Harry and Silna could no longer exert any influence on the Basquesque.

“Is it possible to dissolve this contract? Or can this contract be re-established? Solim immediately asked Barrow two very crucial questions.

If the contract can be dissolved, then just find a way to break the contract between Basque and Riddle, and if the contract can be re-established with others, then let Silna re-establish the contract with Basque, so that it can also balance with Riddle. When Riddle is alone, even if Basque is reluctant, he can only follow Riddle’s instructions, but if there is another contractor, and the instructions are in line with Basque’s wishes, then Basque will favor another person.

Solim looked at Barrow, hoping that he would give an answer that satisfied him, but it was a pity…

“After the contract is established, you can’t repent…” said Barrow, “This contract is a large part of the contract to protect Hogwarts, and the Head of House will not agree to back down on the matter of protecting Hogwarts, so… Can’t…”

“But what you said, it’s possible to re-establish a contract with another person.” But judging by Barrow’s tone, he wasn’t quite sure either.

“Is this contract a whole or separate?” Solim asked another question.

Magic contract, in the eyes of many wizards, this is a very high-end thing. Because the magic contract that most wizards know is the famous “unbreakable curse”, once the two parties establish an unbreakable contract, it must not be broken, otherwise the party who breaks the contract will end in death as a punishment for breaking the contract.

But magic contracts are not only one way to sign, there are other ways to create contracts. For Hogwarts, it establishes a large number of magical contracts every year, but many people ignore it.

New students will receive letters from Hogwarts when they have not yet enrolled, and when Hogwarts receives a reply from the new students, a contract will be established, and when the new student enters Hogwarts, this contract will take effect. Magical creatures within the Hogwarts range that have made a contract with Hogwarts will not harm these students. The same is true of the professors of Hogwarts, who have also established such magical contracts with Hogwarts.

Magical contracts aren’t all as extreme as the Unbreakable Charm, Hogwarts contracts are gentle, and when a professor leaves or a student graduates or is expelled, the contract is dissolved without endangering life.

And the question Solim asked was a question that complex magical contracts would involve. According to Barrow, whether the contract established by this so-called heir includes control of the basilisk, or whether a separate contract must be established to control the basilisk.

Solim’s question actually asks whether you have to be an heir to control the basilisk, or you don’t have to be an heir, just make a contract with the basilisk.

The question stumped Barrow, and he didn’t really know. Mainly when Riddle had established more than one contract, some with Hogwarts, some with Slytherin House, and some with Slytherin himself.

“Then you tell me, what do I need to do to make a contract with Basque? We can first try whether the contract that controls Basque is alone, or whether the contract with the heir is a whole, just try it. ”

“To make a contract with Basque, you must have a parseltongue voice, you must be a Slytherin student, and you must meet a Basque request, and then the contract can be established – under Basque’s leadership.” Barrow said.

When Barrow returned to Hogwarts after his death, Salazar Slytherin had not left Hogwarts at that time, and naturally ghosts could exist longer than living people, and Barrow naturally became the role of this guide at Salazar’s will, and he knew a lot of secrets about Hogwarts.

“Then this is easy, the first two are in line, Basque’s wishes are not a problem, he definitely does not want to be controlled by Riddle again, and then against the wishes of Slytherin himself to hurt the students in the school.” Then there is one last one left: the Basque request. Solim looked at his sister, “Sirna, ask him what he wants, preferably simple, such as food, a warmer nest, or going out to bask in the sun or something.” ”

“Just bask in the sun.” Barrow said on the side, “Basque is bound by the contract, and he cannot leave the castle on his own initiative. ”

Silna and Basque hissed back and forth, and after a while, they turned around and said to Solim: “He said he smelled food, his favorite food, he hadn’t eaten it in a long time, and he wanted us to help him get some.” ”

“Basilisk’s favorite food?” Solim thought for a moment, “You ask him if it’s an eight-eyed giant spider.” ”

“There is no term ‘eight-eyed giant spider’ in snake language.” “He just said ‘favorite food.'”

“Then ask him if he has eight legs.” Solim resisted the urge to complain.

“What did Riddle bring with him?” Solim asked curiously.

“That damn liar didn’t bring anything.” Barrow said angrily: “He deceived me, and he also deceived Basque, he said that he would take Basque to fulfill the dean’s wish, and then he would give Basque a better environment than here, so that he could bask in the sun or something…”

At Barrow’s words, Solim looked at the basilisk speechlessly, he was still hissing with Silna over there. It’s a simple death, but it’s no wonder Barrow and the basilisk. Are there fewer people Riddle fooled? Even Dumbledore was fooled by him at that time.

“Finally figured it out,” Silna hissed for a long time, hissing dryly, “It should be the eight-eyed giant spider is right, he asked us to get him a few, and then he will make a contract with me.” ”

“How many?”

“Yes, just a few.”

“No, I mean, how many do he want?”

“Just get a few of them.” Silna looked at her brother strangely, this was not a big problem.

“How can this kind of thing be casual!” Solim scolded, “That’s a contract, what if we bring less and he is not satisfied?” Do you want to run again? You ask the specific quantity, don’t be too much, too much of my box can’t be stuffed. ”

Solim stroked his head wordlessly, in Solim’s opinion, magic contracts and contracts are no different, they are agreements that establish the rights, obligations and responsibilities of both parties, except that Muggles use paper documents and laws to constrain them, while wizards use magic, which is essentially no different. So…… Magic contracts will also have loopholes that can be exploited.

“Okay, finally.” Silna licked her lips, “7, he said it was his master’s—the Slytherin himself’s favorite number.” ”

“Well, we’d better act now, now is the race against time.” Solim looked at the basilisk who still had his eyes closed, “Silna, you say hello to him, except for you, me, and Barrow, anyone else who comes here, don’t close their eyes, I think except us, Dumbledore or Riddle will come here, Dumbledore will not be planted in the sight of the basilisk, Riddle, hmph, you tell Basque, if he doesn’t want to be controlled to hurt the students again, either hide or directly subdue the incoming person.” ”

“Uniform?” Silna looked back at Basque, “How can he go to ‘subdue’ at this size, killing is almost the same.” ”

In Sirna’s view, with Basque’s size, pressure can also crush people to death, as long as the tail is gently pumped, as long as it is drawn, it is basically amputated below the eyebrows, and the better one has to be a high paraplegia.

“Well,” Solim thought as he looked at the standing water on the ground, “that’s fine.” ”

Solim drew his wand.

The stagnant water on the ground gathered and turned into two circular sheets of ice under Solim’s control.

“Although the degree is definitely not right, but the basilisk is not only observed by the eyes, but also does not wear it for long, so there should be no problem.”

After speaking, Solim tore off part of his robe, lengthened it, and tied up the two “lenses” conjured by Transfiguration to block Basque’s eyes.

“So it won’t cause death… Kindness…… It should…”

Although it would not cause death as long as he did not look directly into the basilisk’s gaze, Solim himself was not sure, and the gaze through that lens was not considered direct vision.

“Okay, you tell Basque to be careful. So we set off for the Forbidden Forest. Solim said to Barrow, dragged Silna and left the secret room.
