Chapter 158: Talking about the fate of Zhang Jian

After the three snakes and one bird had a hearty meal after a short journey, Della interrogated the basilisk named Sadolin, but unfortunately, Sadolin was confused and could not answer anything, behaving like an ordinary snake that could only communicate in simple ways.

The only thing worth noting is that Sadolin can grow or shrink at will, just like Maggie.

A basilisk that is almost the same age as Hogwarts has not made any progress in intelligence in a thousand years. Della thinks this is very telling.

"Salazar did something to her, so that every time Sadolin met a new generation of heirs, her growth would be reset," Della told Maggie about her guess after carefully examining Sadolin. "Tom Riddle's soul is not much older than mine, but I am indeed the latest generation of Slytherin, so the first time Sadolin saw me, she reset it."

"Sasa-hi (a measure to reset wisdom together, which is what Slytherin would do)." Maggie approved of Della's guess.

"The beast from before has become so obedient now," Della swung her finger around Sadolin beside her and circled around her. Apep soon joined in, and they entangled Della intimately. "And I can foresee her loyalty."

Maggie looked at their playfulness and felt it was childish and a little envious, but she still suppressed her impulse. She stood up and glanced at the rooms with strong Muggle colors around her. "Haishi-Sa (I don't quite understand your current situation. The newspapers always say things like 'The Ministry of Magic is actively solving it')."

"I thought you already knew that the Daily Prophet was not worth looking forward to. I'm really curious about what kind of president can tolerate the reputation of the largest newspaper in Country Y being damaged like this." Della said indifferently. She put down Sadolin and Apep, reached out her hand to Maggie, and after the little snake came up, she explained and showed him around her temporary residence.

"The curse that Saviya Nanni cast on me is that I can't come into contact with the wizarding world of Country Y, including the land, people, and letters. Before the curse is lifted, I can't go back to Hogwarts to study, so I will go to study abroad in two other European schools next."

"Hai-Xi (two schools)?" Maggie followed Della's instructions to visit her high-end apartment. Just like all model rooms, it had cold colors, some expensive electrical appliances, and some careful thoughts on the layout and decoration, creating an instant sense of surprise and value for money.

Because of the Muggle teacher who came to tutor, Della basically kept the original cold feeling of the apartment, but added some new clothes to the wardrobe and occasionally bought some interesting electrical appliances.

Since she had a lot of Muggle money, Della did not restrain her shopping desire at all. She paid for expensive laptops and cameras without even blinking. She also visited many luxury stores and even took the time to watch a few concerts.

"And within a year, it seemed that my talent was discovered. Beauxbatons invited me to join the Alchemy Group, and Durmstrang gave me the opportunity to study the Dark Arts." Della led Maggie into the study room where she had spent the longest time in this apartment. The bookshelves here were filled with Muggle classics in French and German. "It was very generous. Someone wanted me to stay in Europe, and I accepted it."

"Xi-Sahai (Do you know who is here)?" Maggie asked, turning his head to look around the study room which showed obvious signs of use, and finally fixed his sight on a few swollen books that had been read on the solid wooden desk, with a fountain pen neatly placed next to the book.

"I don't think I've met him, but since he wants to let me stay in Europe, he won't stay in Country Y, so he's not worth caring about," Della shrugged. She moved her chair and sat in front of the desk. She unscrewed the pen and took out some blank papers to draw. "We have more important things to care about."

As Maggie watched Della draw the phase diagram she had used when studying the doll, he couldn't help but ask, "Hai-shia-shi (I'm glad you put my needs first at this time, but didn't we abandon this plan)?"

"Don't worry, this time Tom Riddle's soul gave me new information," Della finished drawing the phase diagram smoothly, and then began to arrange it with runes. "Horcrux, do you know this concept? This is the spell diagram for making a Horcrux."

By now, Maggie no longer concealed it, "Hi-Sa-Hi-Hai (Just like alchemy, I only know this concept. The small piece of Voldemort's soul at the beginning only gave me new perspectives, new ideas and some vague concepts. For example, I know that I am Voldemort, and I know that I used to be Tom Riddle, but that's all. The Horcrux is one of these vague concepts)."

"Didn't the soul of the diary give you some new inspiration?" Della paused.

"Haisa- (memory, I got his memory before he was 16, but Horcrux is still just a vague concept)," Maggie replied, spinning his body to get closer to the spell snake that was about to take shape in Della's pen, "Haisi-Sa (and stability, those soul fragments helped me consolidate myself, which is also a gain).

"Consolidate?" Della continued to draw. "Do you need more stability?"

"Cissa-ya-hi (I have the desire to devour, but this is probably the only rational Horcrux, so I think I can't let this desire develop)."

"That sounds wise. You have to control this desire. If you want to be the only one, all Horcruxes must be destroyed." Della added the last rune to the eyes of the spell snake, "including you."

"Hai-Xi (Have you found a way to save me)?" Maggie tilted her snake head and said in a firm tone.

"The bases of other Horcruxes are objects, but yours is the soul of a snake. This gives you the opportunity to sever the connection between you. You will become a new soul and stay in a body that best suits this soul." Della began to draw the third pattern.

"Sahai-Saya (meaning if I want to become a human, I have to have surgery on my body)." Maggie thought of herself on the lab table in the past.

The Maggie who had no self and was at the mercy of others.

"The soul and the body are inseparable. I think you have no choice. Besides," Della said as she drew, "the most suitable experimental subject has been brought to us."

Sadolin.

Sadolin, who has lived for a thousand years like Maggie, Sadolin, who can control the size of her body like Maggie, and Sadolin whose fate is now controlled by others.

The last point is the same as Maggie in the past.

Maggie was silent, his dark yellow pupils were empty for a second. Those who were manipulated in the past now had the opportunity to manipulate the fate of others, and manipulate others to end up with a fate similar to his own.

After a brief moment of irony, Maggie felt a little guilty, and this little guilt meant that he had made his choice.

"Haish-ya=Saish (Sadolin will do everything for the heir of Slytherin, and I will make her like everything you do to her)." Maggie gave his answer. Like Tom Riddle, he was very good at persuading others.

Is his purpose of persuasion to make Sadolin feel better, or to keep Sadolin under control?

Regardless of the purpose, his choice made him decide to control Sadolin's spirit.

Sympathy will not stop his actions.

Oh, this is even more ironic. Is his rare sympathy due to his past self vaguely emerging behind Sadolin?

Regardless, Maggie decided at this point that she sympathized with Sadolin and decided to be nicer to the little snake monster.

"I see. I'll get started." Della, who made the suggestion, did not comment further on this aspect. She finished the last stroke, then tightened the pen, put her hand down, and let Maggie come over to look at the new phase diagram.

The puppet diagram is a circle, the Horcrux spell is a curved snake, and the new diagram is an Ouroboros biting its tail. The Ouroboros will continue to destroy itself and will also continue to gain new life. The part of Voldemort will become pure nourishment for Maggie in the process.

"This is just a theoretical plan. When it comes to practical application, I will refer to the book 'Cling Graydon'. Body transformation is inevitable, but we can take it slowly." Della acted calmly, as if what she had to do was as simple as throwing an apple and then catching it. "What's more urgent now is your language class."

Hearing this, Maggie twisted her snake body and turned towards her, her yellow eyes slightly widened. Seeing his reaction, Della couldn't help but laugh, "Snake language is the universal language, but human language is not. You have missed more than half a month of classes, I have to get you up to speed."
