The Basilisk's massive body lay sprawled beneath the Slytherin statue, its head pressed limply against the floor.
Silan walked around the Basilisk's body and examined its head.
The Basilisk's head was positioned perfectly so that the implant could be performed without moving the Basilisk.
He found the right spot and first used a Severing Charm.
In addition to its extremely high magic resistance, the Basilisk's scales are also very hard, Silan's Severing Charm had no effect.
Dumbledore smiled and asked, "Do you need my help?"
"Finally, there's something you don't know?" Dumbledore thought.
To be honest, apart from briefly diverting the Basilisk's attention when it Basilisk, Dumbledore felt he hadn't played any role whatsoever.
The Chamber of Secrets was found by Silan, the Basilisk was lured out by Silan, and the rooster and the strange double rings were also prepared by him...
Dumbledore genuinely believed that even if he didn't come, Silan could probably handle it on his own.
So he really wanted to help and make a difference.
Otherwise, it would seem like he's a bit superfluous as the principal.
"No need." Silan shook her head and waved her wand.
"Sectumsempra!"
A very faint light burst forth from the wand, and after the air twisted slightly, a wound appeared on the Basilisk's head without warning.
Blood flowed out, staining the Basilisk's scales, and trickled down the scales like tiny blood-red flowers blooming.
Dumbledore looked at Silan with some surprise.
This child has even learned "Sectumsempra"?
But this Spells was invented by Snape; how did he learn it?
After thinking for a moment, Dumbledore simply asked, "Professor Snape even taught you the Sectumsempra's technique?"
"To be precise, it was the Half-Blood Prince who taught me," Silan said innocently. "Professor Snape gave me a copy of the Half-Blood Prince's Potions."
"He said the Half-Blood Prince was his good friend, and I saw some Spells written on it, so I tried to learn them."
"But Professor Snape taught me how to counter spells, and he said that only he and his friend, the Half-Blood Prince, knew about them."
Dumbledore's expression grew increasingly strange.
"That's what Professor Snape told you?"
"Yes." Silan nodded sincerely.
"Heh heh heh." Dumbledore chuckled awkwardly. "Looks like the Half-Blood Prince is quite a capable wizard."
"If possible, I'd really like to invite him to be a professor."
Dumbledore didn't expose Snape's little trick of playing himself, but just looked at Silan with a bit of pity.
Poor child, you've been fooled by him.
Seeing that Dumbledore was playing dumb with him, Silan didn't expose him.
"That would be wonderful!" Silan said earnestly. "If the Half-Blood Prince becomes the professor, I'll definitely learn more Spells from him."
After exchanging a glance, the two tacitly agreed not to say anything more.
Snape, in his office, suddenly felt a chill and instinctively tightened his robes. After a moment's thought, he lit the fireplace in his office.
After drinking half a bottle of mind-clearing potion, Silan activated her Wizard's Eye.
The feeling of a cool, clear mind with heightened mental activity returned.
The surrounding scenery slowly blurred before his eyes, transforming into a world outlined by lines.
Silan focused his gaze on the Basilisk.
With the help of the Baruffio's Brain Elixir, the previously shrouded Basilisk's body gradually became clearer.
He could clearly see that the Basilisk's body contained an extremely large amount of magical power.
"No wonder it's Basilisk that's lived for 1000 years."
After a moment of reflection, Silan shifted her gaze to the Basilisk's head.
With just one glance, Silan frowned.
The magic circuits here are much denser and more complex than those on the Basilisk's body, resembling a tangled ball of yarn.
But what surprised Silan was not the complexity of the magic circuits, but the ball of light he found inside the Basilisk's head.
This ball of light was made of magic and emitted a soft glow, but it was completely different from the Basilisk's own magic.
After drinking the mind-awakening potion, Silan 'Wizard's Eye were greatly enhanced, but he still couldn't see through this ball of light.
This indicates that the magic described above is extremely complex and profound.
So, who left this?
Slytherin, the breeding Basilisk?
Silan didn't know much about Salazar Slytherin, one of the Four Founders of Hogwarts.
All that is known is that he was a Pure-blood wizard living in the Middle Ages. Because of the witch hunts at the time, he never trusted Muggle-born students, believing that even if they learned magic, they would eventually side with the Muggle World and were completely unreliable.
Therefore, he constantly persuaded the other founders to only admit Pure-blood students.
However, others disagreed, especially Gryffindor.
After a heated argument with Gryffindor, Slytherin secretly built the Chamber of Secrets and hid the Basilisk in it.
Slytherin then left Hogwarts.
"Could that glowing light inside the Basilisk's head be a clue to the secret treasure left behind by Slytherin?" Silan wondered silently.
But right now, we need to focus on the important things.
Silan shook her head, banishing the other random thoughts from her mind, and began implanting the crystal core.
Despite the complexity of the magical circuits in the Basilisk's head, it was nothing to Silan, who had been given a mind-awakening potion.
After some thought, Silan found a suitable position.
He waved his wand, moving the crystal core into the air and slowly pushing it inside.
In his eyes, after the crystal core entered the Basilisk's head, it nimbly twisted its body, made a slight turn, and then stopped at the spot he had chosen.
After the crystal core stopped, wisps of magical circuits spread out from its surface, like tiny tentacles, actively connecting with the magical circuits of the nearby Basilisk.
This crystal core is an alchemical creation; once implanted, it directly affects the magic circuits, resulting in immediate effects.
At that time, Silan will only need to wave his wand slightly to inflict immense pain on the Basilisk.
If the Basilisk refuses to confess even at the cost of its life, he wouldn't mind using some methods.
True hunters have plenty of patience.
Dumbledore standing nearby, couldn't help but marvel at Silan's actions.
This is the first time the child has seen Basilisk, so he shouldn't know anything about Basilisk physical structure.
Yet his technique for implanting the crystal core was so precise and skillful, it was as if he could see right through the Basilisk's head.
Even with Dumbledore's centuries of experience, he found it quite incredible.
"What an unfathomable little fellow," Dumbledore thought to himself.
After confirming the connection of the Control Crystal Core was complete through the Wizard's Eye, Silan withdrew her gaze and poured a bottle of Hemostatic Healing Potion onto the Basilisk's wound.
The Basilisk itself has a strong regenerative ability, and with the healing effect of the Potions, the wound healed quickly.
"Leave the rest to me," said Dumbledore.
Silan nodded and took two steps back.
Dumbledore waved his wand, and the Basilisk's head lit up with tiny points of light.
These points of light converged to form a thin white thread, which was then drawn out by Dumbledore's wand.
Dumbledore sealed this memory away and gave it to Silan.
"If you want it to regain this memory later, just break the bottle in front of it."
Silan nodded.
The Basilisk's tail twitched unconsciously.
"Looks like we have to go."
Dumbledore glanced at the Basilisk, waved his wand, and Reparo the wall that the Basilisk had smashed to its original state, erasing all traces.
It was as if nothing had happened.
After doing all this, the two walked out of the Chamber of Secrets together, whispering about other things.
