Chapter 162
Chapter 161-Aragog
It was a very quiet night at this moment, and most of the residents of Hogsmeade Village fell asleep. Occasionally, dementors wandered around the village, searching for targets that they could not find.
In invisible Ulysses watched the figure of the big black dog quietly. He was wandering in the corner, twitching his nose from time to time to sniff, and his lanky tail swaying.
Suddenly, it turned its head abruptly, and its big yellow eyes fixed on Ulysses’ position.
‘Has it been discovered? ’
Ulysses’ heart trembled. He subconsciously felt that Sirius Black in a weak state would not have such a keen insight, and he did not expect to underestimate him.
Ulysses thought for a while, took the initiative to lift the phantom spell, and said with a chuckle:
“We can talk…”
Before the last sound came out, I saw the big black dog, like a frightened bird, with wind on the soles of its feet, and it ran farther and farther, and it didn’t take long before Ulysses was out of sight.
“……never mind.”
Ulysses’ expression froze, and helplessly withdrew his gaze.
When he returned to Hogwarts, there were no more accidents. Ulysses looked at the towering castle in the distance, thought about it, and turned and walked towards the Forbidden Forest.
He is going to meet an old friend and get something by the way.
The forbidden forest in winter is still dangerous, but it does not appear to be so noisy, only the occasional howling of wild beasts is heard in the depths of the forbidden forest.
Ulysses walked along the deserted forest path to the depths of the forbidden forest, making a “click” sound when he stepped on the dead branches on the ground.
Along the way, Ulysses encountered many magical creatures. A few slap-sized little elves are dancing around the circle holding hands, groups of night kiwis stand in place and rest with their eyes closed, unicorns drink quietly, and horses are patrolling with bows and arrows on their backs.
Ulysses did not disturb them, recalling the way last year, and walked into the territory of the eight-eyed giant spider.
Before it got closer, there was a sound of “rustling” in the darkness nearby, and unknowingly, there were huge eight-eyed giant spiders all around.
However, when they saw Ulysses’ figure clearly, they lay down on the ground restlessly, trying to restrain their stings, and did not dare to make any abnormal actions.
They have not forgotten how much damage this seemingly harmless student caused in the Forbidden Forest last year.
“Relax, I’m looking for Aragok.”
Ulysses said with a smile.
There was a commotion around the eight-eyed giant spider. An eight-eyed giant spider quickly crawled into the depths of the tribe, apparently to inform. And another eight-eyed giant spider crawled out slowly, came to Ulysses, and lowered its body obediently.
“So sensible?”
Ulysses smiled and jumped up, letting the eight-eyed giant arachnid move forward.
“Dear Ulysses, it’s been a long time.”
When he arrived at the Eight-Eyed Giant Spider Tribe, he heard Aragok’s rough voice.
Its huge body hung on the spider web, and its tone was enthusiastic and enthusiastic.
But the eight-eyed giant spiders next to it shivered. Last year Ulysses drew a few barrels of venom from them. Almost a year has passed. They haven’t fully recovered, and they feel weak and weak when they walk some distances every day.
Ulysses spotted them too, and gave them a casual glance, making them tremble all over and their heads lowered.
“Long time no see, I will come to see you if I can’t sleep tonight.”
Ulysses smiled and nodded, and exchanged greetings with Aragog.
Aragoc wished that Ulysses would eat well and sleep well. Don’t come to him if you have anything to do. But he didn’t dare to say such a thing. The huge double claws moved, and he said with a smile:
“This is the honor of our eight-eyed giant spiders. Unfortunately, our family is not proficient in potions, and there is no good way to help you fall asleep…”
“No, you have.”
Ulysses squinted his eyes and smiled, “Actually, this time I came here to do business with you, and it is profitable and harmless.”
“Yes?”
Aragog moved unsurprisingly, “What deal? If you need venom, you’d better change a few eight-eyed giant spiders, or they will die…”
“Small, the pattern is smaller.”
Ulysses waved his hand, “If it’s just venom, am I going to come over late at night?”
Aragok said in his heart that you did that last year, and he said in a puzzling voice:
“Then what deal are you talking about?”
“The basilisk is dead, and you have no natural enemies for the time being.”
Ulysses turned around and said with a smile.
When hearing the word “bassilisk”, the surrounding eight-eyed giant spiders twisted their bodies unnaturally, but after listening to Ulysses, they all waved their own big claws in ecstasy.
“Are you serious?”
Aragok’s tone rose sharply several times.
“Of course, I witnessed it with my own eyes.”
Ulysses remembered a small piece of remnant soul attached to Tom in the basilisk, and shook his mind slightly, but soon recovered and said with certainty, “But have you ever thought about why you are both The magic creatures cultivated by humans, but the basilisk can be your natural enemy?”
Eight-eyed giant spiders are also cultivated by humans in order to allow them to guard the residence or treasure of wizards. Usually other monsters created by magic are also for this purpose, but with the passage of time, these magical creatures have gradually been out of human control.
“Because we have too many eyes, the basilisk will die as soon as it stares.”
Aragok murmured dissatisfiedly.
“Of course it is part of the reason, but I think it is not the most important.”
Ulysses shook his head, “I think… the blood power of the basilisk has been fully utilized, but your eight-eyed giant spider has not yet.”
“You mean—” Aragok said hesitantly, “Do we have more powerful opportunities and potential?”
“Of course. Perhaps you should have heard of the name Salazar Slytherin?”
Ulysses nodded and said with a smile.
“You legendary wizard of humanity, of course I have heard of… but what does it have to do with this?”
Aragok was confused by Ulysses’ rumors.
“Of course it does matter. Salazar Slytherin himself is a wizard with unique research on biological bloodlines and extremely high achievements, and the inheritance he left behind happened to be acquired by me. From his inheritance, I have seen The possibility of your eight-eyed giant spider bloodline.”
Ulysses said bewitched.
“But… you shouldn’t want to be manipulated with your own body, right?”
Aragok had already heard what Ulysses meant, and said with some dissatisfaction.
Ulysses was silent for a while, and said nonchalantly:
“You should be alive soon, right?”
This sentence was really not polite, and it was inserted into Aragok’s heart like a sword, making its body instantly stiff.
Its eyes filled with white shadows were dim and dull, and it took a long time to say hoarsely:
“It’s been a few years…I’m old enough…”
“Then have you thought about what your tribe will become when you die?”
Ulysses asked with a smile.
