Chapter 508：

As long as all the mechanisms are destroyed, it is equivalent to having no mechanisms.

The wand dragged the white light of lightning, and as John flicked it, all the mechanisms were triggered.

The white light shattered all mechanisms and the road became safe.

Walking under the guillotine with only the ax handle left, he reached the other side of the cliff.

Pick up the snake-eye gem. The statue in front of you is similar to the human-faced snake outside the pyramid.

The human face of the statue is an old man with a long beard and a purple hat.

The wrinkles on the face are carved into the face of the statue.

This is an erect human-faced snake. Different from the figure '8' outside, the human-faced snake stands like a straight magic wand in front of you.

Behind the statue is a huge hourglass.

But just like the one in John's hand, this huge hourglass was in dilapidated condition, and the sands of time on it had long since disappeared.

After studying the giant hourglass for a while, John discovered something else.

It was a huge snake-like white bone.

Its body has disappeared, but judging from the situation, this snake should have been guarding here.

It's just that too much time has passed and the snake's lifespan has been exhausted and it has turned into a white skeleton.

"Looking at its bones, it seems to be a basilisk."

John touched his chin and circled the bones.

A basilisk of this size would probably live longer than the one at Hogwarts.

But even the basilisk has died of old age. How many years ago did the owner of this place exist?

"As far as I know, apart from Salazar Slytherin, there is only one other wizard who raised the basilisk."

John murmured to himself, looking up at the human-faced snake.

On the list of the top ten dark wizards in the world, there is a guy who is as evil as Extis.

It can even be said that he is more evil than Extis.

Because he created a magic that everyone thought was extremely evil.

Horcrux.

Pure killing, splitting the soul, as a way to achieve immortality.

In John's opinion, that wizard was an enhanced version of Voldemort.

Even someone as powerful as Voldemort needs to pick up his wits so that he can survive.

At the same time, that is also the oldest dark wizard.

A man who used toads to hatch eggs and create a basilisk.

The first person to refine a Horcrux, and until John's time, no one could be sure of his death.

He created many evil curses that still affect the magical world today.

This is not the pyramid of Egypt.

It belongs to an ancient Greek wizard.

The person who can be ranked first among the top ten dark wizards in the world.

The active period ranked earlier than the Big Four and the three brothers of Hogwarts.

"Despicable Herbo." John looked at the statue and slowly said the name.

If the despicable Herbo Horcrux had not been destroyed, he would have almost achieved immortality.

…

Chapter 526 Hello, Basilisk

"Now we need to use the hourglass again."

John's tail hooked the soul lamp, and a silver soul flew out from the soul lamp.

After injecting it into the hourglass, the golden Möbius strip flows.

John turned over the hourglass, and the surrounding scene changed rapidly.

The place that was originally in ruins is now back to what it was like a thousand years ago.

The fragments that fell off the statue of the human-faced snake began to return to the body.

The broken giant hourglass was repaired bit by bit.

Over time, the hourglass was repaired and golden sand gathered at the bottom.

John's hourglass streamer stared at the hourglass full of sand of time above.

He only needs to turn it now to bring this ancient tomb that has been sleeping for thousands of years back to that era.

"The space affected by this large time turner is enough to cover this pyramid."

John walked around the hourglass, reached the bottom, and tapped it with his wand.

"Tumble over."

A little magic drags the bottom.

The huge hourglass made a lengthy creaking sound.

The part supported in the middle of the hourglass seemed to be unable to hold on, and it turned over with difficulty.

John stared at the hourglass and spent ten minutes turning it.

Finally, it was completely inverted, and the golden quicksand flowed from the top to the bottom.

The first grain of sand of time fell to the bottom, and a golden rhythm emanated from the hourglass.

This wavelength quickly covers the entire pyramid.

At the same time, the surroundings began to change.

The first is the human-faced snake, which has lost its color due to years of storage.

Now, the color appears on the body of the human-faced snake again.

The uneven stones on the ground became smooth again.

Gold is spread on the ground, making the entire space golden and bright.

A rumbling sound came from the bottom of the cliff.

From the lowest point, a touch of gold emerged, followed by a continuous upward spurt.

John looked around and saw that there were countless treasures.

The rugged rocks on the upper level turned golden, and a waterfall of sand flowed down.

The sands of time.

The entire pyramid changed. In the corridors lining the pyramid, figures appeared and flashed past in reverse.

"Play back at the speed of one year per second."

John looked solemn, this was a big deal.

"Reshaping the entire pyramid, this design is full of ambition."

The time converter allows people to be transported to a certain moment in time, and this is actually the time anchor that moves the pyramid from a certain moment to the present.

John needs to express his admiration for such accomplishments in time magic.

The remodeling continues, measured by the time it takes.

John came to a surprising conclusion.

This place has existed for more than a thousand years.

What an ancient existence this is.

As the last sharp golden dome fell on the dome in an upside-down form, John could finally get a glimpse of the true appearance of the pyramid.

The pyramid made of infinite treasures and the sands of time reappears in the world as time goes by.

The body of the human-faced snake gradually bends, forming a ‘?’ shape.

John has no shortage of Sands of Time. There are many times more Sands of Time stored here than in the Ministry of Magic.

A large number of sands of time gathered to form a special area.

John put down the snake-eye gem, and the scene in front of him did not change.

This special field freezes time. Now you don’t need snake-eye gems to see scenes from thousands of years ago.

The sands of time that crowd out each other flow in the sky like a river.

John threw the broken time turner inside.

Just like drawing water, when the time turner was taken out again, it was filled with the sand of time.

John's goal was achieved.

He looked up at the human-faced snake and approached the human-faced snake.

The curved human-faced snake is even more weird than before.

John has a strange idea.

"It's moving."

The moment the idea came to his mind, John heard movement.

A hissing sound came from behind the human-faced snake.

John recognized the meaning.

"Hungry…"

Immediately afterwards, a basilisk larger than the one in the Hogwarts Chamber of Secrets slowly poked its head out.

This is a basilisk from a thousand years ago. As it keeps shedding its skin, it is more than twice as big as its kind.

The terrifying body slid on the ground, and the hissing sound was terrifying.

John stared at the basilisk with its head sticking out, and he thought of the snake skin he had touched when he fell.

It seems that they are all the shedding of this snake.

This snake is older than the one at Hogwarts.

The cause of death, John guessed, was that the entire pyramid was eaten.

Previously, he found the gold part of the basilisk skeleton, maybe because the basilisk accidentally ate the treasures.

Smelling the smell of food, the basilisk slowly turned its head.

Its movements were slow and did not seem threatening.

But basilisks don't need excellent speed. They have eyes that can kill their prey.

At that moment, the basilisk's orange eyes met John's.

The normal situation is that the prey falls to the ground and dies, and the basilisk feasts.

But the fact is.

The basilisk's eyes widened and he asked in confusion, "That's strange, why is he okay?"

The huge body gradually swam out, and the basilisk didn't understand why John was okay.

This body shape is more intimidating than the skeleton John saw.

It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the Snake King.

John looked up at this time, and a pair of slender vertical pupils that were different from dragon pupils appeared in his eyes, giving his whole person a colder temperament.

He said: "Hello, Basilisk."
