Harry Potter: I Am a Legend - v6 Chapter 10

After finishing speaking, the short young man kicked the black python on the ground away, turned around happily, walked deep down the snake’s belly channel, and exposed his back to West Xavier. The black snake swam and followed his master.

In just a few minutes of contact, he has determined that the guy in front of him is a moody and dangerous person. Xavier feels very stressful to get along with such people.

He didn’t believe that this person would treat himself kindly, let alone that he really wanted to treat himself to a meal, but he still followed behind him.

Because he has no choice.

He was in the belly of the giant snake at the moment, if the giant snake did not open his mouth, then he hardly knew how to leave here.

He followed the short young man, touched Ye Xiao who was trembling with fear on his shoulders, and whispered, “It’s okay.”

Ye Xiao muttered in a low voice.

Rubbed his hand with his head.

With the silver light circling around the young man, West Xavier could see that the abdominal wall of the giant snake was inlaid with the bones of a deceased person every four or five meters away.

If you look all the way, it is densely packed, and you can’t see the head at a glance. They are like some kind of unique collection, hung on the inner wall of the snake’s abdomen. From their posture, you can see the temporary struggles and distortions of those people.

There is no doubt that this mysterious short young man is exactly the wizard in Ye Xiao’s mouth, and West Xavier can also feel a breath similar to himself from him. He didn’t have a lot of favor with that breath, because it was mixed with too much coldness, making him not like a person, but like a snake walking upright.

When passing the corner of the passage, he even saw a person who had not yet become a skeleton stuck in the belly of the snake.

He was not dead yet, his eyes were still rolling, but his body was sunken in the mud and generally trapped in the belly of a snake, unable to move. This is probably some unlucky ghost like himself, who strayed into the belly of the snake and couldn’t get out.

It’s just that he doesn’t have his own luck.

The short young man didn’t talk too much to the man like himself.

He stopped in front of the person who was not dead, stretched out his fingers and tapped gently on the snake’s belly twice. Small and incomparable young snakes emerged from the abdominal wall, like tendons and veins, from every corner of the man’s body. Got in.

There are countless little snakes swimming in the body of the unlucky ghost who is deep in the snake wall. His eyes are turning desperately, but he can’t make a sound.

In the end, he could only die in despair.

The picture is horrible.

West Xavier watched the man die sadly, unable to do anything, and became more and more vigilant about the short young man, what kind of guy it was that would form such a terrible hobby.

Perceiving the extremely vigilant look in the young man’s eyes, the short young man smiled: “For the first free lesson, no matter which great wizard you ask, they will tell you that life and death are worthless. Only actions between life and death are worthless. valuable.”

He said lightly: “People who don’t know this are just a pile of meat. Since it’s a pile of meat, then being eaten is their greatest value.”

West Xavier shook his head: “Then why don’t you just kill him cleanly.”

“Oh~”

The short young man stroked the bones on the snake wall with his fingertips, with a cheerful smile on his face:

“I personally like to look at the real side of people. Strength, weakness, arrogance, and humiliation, these are what I like.”

“Can you stay true when you are dying?” West Xavier disapproved.

“A person can be real only when he is dying.”

Said the short man.

West Xavier did not reply, he could not agree with the words of the short young man for the time being.

The two went all the way, and finally, the bones on the snake wall finally disappeared, and they came to the most spacious part of the snake’s belly.

The fire light illuminated West Xavier’s face.

It turns out that this giant snake has everything in its belly, the fire, the cauldron on the fire, the dining table, the kitchen, the bookshelves, the wooden stairs, the bed on the wooden ladder, the carpet, the candles, the fireplace, and even a piece for bathing. Pool water.

He finally understood that this was not a snake at all, but the man’s home, and he lived in the snake’s belly. It was like being locked up in the tower by his father, eating and drinking Lazarus all settled in the tower.

“Are you a wizard?”

Although West Xavier already had a positive answer in his heart, he still wanted to get confirmation personally, because this was the first wizard he met in his life.

“nonsense.”

The green-robed young man leaned on the cushion relaxedly, “The blind can see it too, can’t they?”

He snapped his fingers, and the ground shook again.

Even if you can’t see it, West Xavier knows that this should be the giant snake starting to swim, but now he is not so stupid to think that the snake outside is a real snake. Of course there is no such giant creature in nature, too. Exaggerated.

If nothing happens, it should be a serpentine carriage, a serpentine carriage made by a wizard.

Sure enough, the short young man said, “There are always many people who don’t have eyesight outside who want to fight me, especially those from the Christian Church, who use the slogan of pagans all day long and want to kill the wizards. I have no time for the time being. I worked with them, so I made this thing. Maybe my design is a bit big, and there will always be some weird people falling in, but you are the luckiest one and become my guest, hahahahahaha~”

He laughed heartily. When he finished laughing, West Xavier asked him, “What’s your name?”

“Salazar Slytherin.”

The green-robed youth asked relaxedly: “How about you?”

“My name is West…” West Xavier stopped talking.

“West what?”

Slytherin asked him curiously.

For some reason, Xi Xavier suddenly thought of what Ye Xiao said to himself, that he should not tell others his real name casually, so that he would be controlled by others.

“Silby Spencer.”

West Xavier made a fool of a name himself, and he decided to use it to communicate with outsiders in the future.

“Ha~ never heard of it.”

Slytherin said frankly, “Well, but forget it, you don’t look like a famous guy, maybe I killed you here, and no one will come to avenge you.”

He stretched and stood up, the night owl on Silby’s shoulder shuddered in terror. But Slytherin didn’t do anything to Silby. He went to the kitchen, took down the prey he had taken from Silby, and skillfully began to peel and clean it.

Slytherin went to prepare food, Silby stood up and looked at this magical snake belly hut more closely.

An unknown and viscous green liquid was gurgling in the cauldron. Silby didn’t know what it was, but he thought it must be poisonous.

There is also a transparent square fish tank against the abdominal wall. There are a few snakes swimming in the bathtub, colorful, but when Silby walks over, he realizes that it is not a few snakes at all, but a weird-looking seven-headed snake. , One of the snake heads even swallowed the other.

There was also the row of bookshelves. Silby saw a whole bookshelf on the bookshelf. The books were thicker than the other, and they seemed to be manuscripts, with scribbled writing on the back-“Poisonous Substances” “, “Detailed Explanation of Black Magic”, “A Hundred Powerful Spells”, “A Thousand Kinds of Woods and Their Magic Properties”, “Diary: Dancing with Snakes”, “Basilisk Cultivation Manual”, “Snakes, On Toads and Toads” The Relationship between Roosters, “On How to Get Women’s Hearts”, “Twenty Ways to Control the Mind”, “Witches Are Women”…

He looked all the way, and there were a total of several types of books on this shelf. One type was related to magic, one type was related to snakes, and the other type was related to women.

Silby is not very interested in women. He was taken care of by hundreds of maids since he was a child, and his presence of close maids made him completely lose curiosity about women from the age of thirteen.

He also instinctively didn’t like snakes. That kind of animal was like a squirming esophagus, which made him feel dirty and dangerous.

But for those magic books, Silby couldn’t wait to sit down and read them right away. Especially those books of black magic and spells with thick notes between them, it irritated him.

But he knew it was not possible, this was someone else’s territory, and his habits still kept him reserved for the prince.

“Why, are you interested in my book?”

Slytherin finished washing the prey and asked with a smile.

“Indeed, I am very interested.”

Silby answered honestly, “These are things I haven’t read.”

“That~ you can see it if you want.”

The green-robed youth smiled and said, “But first roast me some meat.”

He picked up the skinned prey in his hand and threw it to West Xavier: “There are spices by the fire.”

Silby took the prey, thinking that he was swallowed by a big snake in his stomach, and he saw a wizard in a green robe in his stomach. He was also asked to barbecue in the stomach of the snake. If this happened one day ago, he It must be incredible, but now, he can accept it calmly.

His inner thoughts kept coming up, but when he was sitting by the fire, he immediately concentrated and started roasting meat, brushing honey, spreading sauce, and sprinkling salt. It seems that there is only one thing left in the world: barbecue.

And while he was roasting, Slytherin was holding an apple, sitting on the carpet, eating the apple while looking at him with interest.

After thirty minutes of silence, the meat was ready.

It is golden and crisp, charred on the outside and tender on the inside, dripping with nourishing fat, and the sweet smell permeates the belly of the snake, making the index finger move.

“nice!”

Slytherin sat across the fire in awe, and he looked at the baked rabbit: “It seems that you are very experienced. Isn’t it the first time to bake?”

“correct.”

Silby said lightly.

In fact, this is his first barbecue. As a prince, he always stretched out his hands for food and opened his mouth as a prince. But it is strange that as long as Silby is willing to do one thing, he will do it well anyway. This is his talent. But he doesn’t tell anyone this kind of thing. The Hugo Fellow told him very early that humility is the most basic virtue, especially in front of strangers, to show weakness and be humble.

Sure enough, Slytherin showed a suddenly enlightened look: “No wonder, the chef at home?”

“Yes it is.”

Silby replied calmly, it was easier to follow other people’s words than to reinterpret, he tore off a steaming rabbit leg and handed it to Slytherin.

“good very good.”

Slytherin was very satisfied. He found a cushion comfortably, took the rabbit legs handed over by the other party, and sat on the cushion intoxicated to enjoy the food.

After sharing food, it stands to reason that the relationship between them should be relaxed a little, but Silby was still unable to relax his vigilance, because he felt that there was always a certain kind of greed in the green eyes of the guy opposite—he wanted to be What do you get from yourself?

Silby: “Are you also from Aragon?”

“I am not, I am from England.” Slytherin replied.

“That’s quite a long way.”

Silby was slightly surprised, England, it was farther than Hugo’s hometown: “What are you doing here?”

“Hahaha,” Slytherin gave a haha ​​and shook his head: “Don’t just ask me, why do children like you appear in this wilderness? You know, this kind of black forest is very It’s dangerous. You’re lucky if you meet me. If you meet a werewolf or vampire, they won’t reason with you.”

Silby fed Ye Xiao a piece of rabbit meat and said, “I’m looking for Pandora.”

The short young man chewed in his mouth. Then, he straightened up and said slightly surprised: “You have also received the invitation letter?”

“What invitation letter?”

“Of course it is the red invitation letter from Queen Pandora.” The short young man laughed, but his eyes became serious unconsciously.

“do not know.”

Silby said indifferently: “I haven’t received any invitations, but I want to know what a wizard is about. I want to find my own kind.”

“It turns out that the goal is to seek knowledge, no wonder.”

Slytherin seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and he sat down cross-legged again: “That Pandora is indeed a good place. There is the largest magic library in the Holy Roman Empire, and there is an endless stream of wizards who want to study. At least it is much more prosperous than England. “

“How about you?”

Silby asked Slytherin, “Where are you going?”

Slytherin grumbled the rabbit bones and licked his lips, “Well, it’s okay to tell you, I’m going to Pandora too, but I’m on the same road with you.”

“Then are you going to take me there, or are you going to kill me after eating?” Silby said calmly, and the night owl on his shoulder shuddered in terror.

The seemingly peaceful and gentle atmosphere was directly broken. Silby put the fragile and vulnerable relationship between the two on the table. It was the cold jungle law. In this regard, his body was tight and he was sitting next to the fire. Straight.

Salazar Slytherin stopped biting the rabbit meat. He slowly lifted his eyes from the food, and there was an inexplicable glow in the green eyes.

The two looked at each other for a full minute.

Suddenly, both of them couldn’t hold back anymore, Silby smiled slightly, and Slytherin laughed loudly, “Haha, silly boy. Kill you, it won’t be enough. If you want to kill me, I would have killed it long ago.”

After a pause, he smiled and said, “But, I lack a servant.”

“servant!?”

“Yes,” Slytherin said, “A loyal servant who washes and cooks for me, takes care of my miscellaneous affairs, and allows me to study magic with peace of mind.”
