Chapter 205: A fire destroyed tens of thousands of gold galleons

"I hate Basilisk!"

As Andy's words fell, the mass of Fiendfyre seemed to have its own consciousness, surging up and then turning into a dragon, and rushing straight towards the chamber.

Awesome!

Andy dared to swear that the Fiendfyre Curse was definitely one of the coolest magic spells to use.

Powerful and wide-ranging, the caster could even input his emotions and thoughts into the Fiendfyre, thus affecting the target of the Fiendfyre's attack.

As long as you can control it!

If it wasn't for the fact that General Counter-Spell is the ultimate restraint of the Fiendfyre Curse, Andy would really believe that the Fiendfyre Curse is an invincible magic.

It was too strong!

It was almost like a magical version of Amaterasu.

"Hiss hiss hiss hiss--"

The hissing sound of the Basilisk's pain was heard in the chamber, and although Andy could not understand the parseltongue, he could clearly feel the pain and fear of the Basilisk.

It was dying!

"Andy, is that the Fiendfyre Curse?" Hermione was also stunned by this magic.

Although she had read about the Fiendfyre Curse in a book, she had never thought that the Fiendfyre Curse could be this powerful.

The moment the Fiendfyre surged and rushed into the chamber, it really seemed as if it possessed Andy's will. Even if she just looked at those flames from afar, Hermione could feel a huge threat.

Of all the magic she had mastered, there was not a single spell that could withstand the attack of the Fiendfyre Curse.

"Wanna learn it?" Andy turned his head and asked.

Hermione hesitated for a moment and finally shook her head.

"Although the Fiendfyre Curse belongs to dark magic, it's not evil dark magic, it's just difficult to control," Andy explained.

"It's because it's difficult to control, that's why I think it's still a bit too early for me to learn the Fiendfyre Curse." Hermione had a clear perception of herself, although she had some talent, compared to Andy, she was just a nerd who could read books by heart.

She lacked the creativity and imagination that Andy had, and she didn't have the maturity of mind that Andy had.

Andy didn't continue this topic, "Let's go! Let's go inside and see how the Basilisk is doing."

Hermione pulled Andy a bit, "Andy, wouldn't it be dangerous to go straight in like that? That's a Basilisk!"

Andy laughed, "Don't worry! The Fiendfyre is a bit out of control, but when I initially controlled the Fiendfyre, the command I gave was to burn the head of the Basilisk."

The Fiendfyre Curse was a very magical spell.

It wouldn't be wrong to say that the Fiendfyre was a demonic flame summoned from hell.

The Fiendfyre had self-will.

When the fire was small, the caster could still give it orders. However, when the fire swelled to a certain point, even the caster could do nothing about it.

Walking into the chamber, Andy saw the Basilisk that had half of its body burned by the Fiendfyre at a glance.

If Andy hadn't been suppressing the expansion of the Fiendfyre, this poor and weak Basilisk would have been long gone, and perhaps the Fiendfyre would have been devouring this chamber at this moment.

"It's really hard to control," Andy muttered to himself.

Andy could feel that he was now unable to extinguish the Fiendfyre. Andy could suppress the Fiendfyre, but the Fiendfyre had also been resisting Andy's control.

Dark magic...willpower...

Andy's heart was enlightened.

The key to controlling the Fiendfyre Curse did not lie in the power of the mind but in Andy's own willpower.

The mind was the power of emotions, while the will was the toughness of emotions.

The two were similar, yet different.

Just like some people had great love in their hearts, but once they lost that love, they would immediately collapse and think that the whole world owed them.

This was the importance of will!

Seeing only two points of [Will] on the system panel, Andy's face darkened ... Was his own will really that bad?

"Well ..."

Andy suddenly thought of Isabel and his family in this life.

Although Andy had been born twice and had his past life memory when he was born. But if someone hurt his family, Andy felt that he would really do something horrible.   

In this regard, Dumbledore was really strong!

Andy had heard Dumbledore's story, he was highly accomplished, but his life was a complete tragedy.

But he still stood up for what was right in his heart.

It was admirable, but Andy didn't like this kind of person.

Thinking of this, Andy suddenly thought of Harry.

Forget about Harry's magic talent for the moment, but his mind and will were truly excellent.

How to put it...?

One could only say that he truly deserved to be the protagonist!

Andy pointed his wand at the burning Fiendfyre in front of him.

"Finite Incantatem!"

As the incantation was recited, the Fiendfyre that was on the verge of going out of control shrank at a speed that was visible to the naked eye as if it had met a natural enemy, and then quickly extinguished.

Andy went up and looked at the corpse of the Basilisk twice.

The Basilisk was half burned, lacking its most valuable eyes, fangs, heart, and many other vital organs such as the nerves in its brain.

Andy felt like he had lost a modest amount of money.

To be fair, Andy felt that an intact thousand-year-old Basilisk could at least be sold for the price of a few dragons.

After all, the rare things were expensive.

With the current prices in the magic world, an ounce of dragon's liver could be bought for seventeen Sickles, and an ounce was equal to 28.35 grams.

It seemed like a bargain.

But how big is a dragon?

To buy a complete dragon, one would need at least thousands of gold galleons to do so.

An ordinary Basilisk might not be worth much, but this is a Basilisk that has lived for thousands of years, and a single drop of blood from its body might be able to be sold for a few gold Galleons.

But now ...

One fire had made tens of thousands of gold Galleons vanish!

I am guilty!

The loss was great, but Andy didn't regret it.

Apart from the Fiendfyre Curse, Andy couldn't think of any other means he could use to kill the Basilisk without much risk.

Not even a killing curse!

The killing curse was strong, but Andy's killing intent was not enough, and there was also the risk of looking directly into the Basilisk's eyes when using the killing curse.

Compared to tens of thousands of gold galleons, Andy felt that it was more important to keep his own little life.

"Uh-"

Hermione couldn't help but be curious and went up to have a look, and immediately felt some discomfort in her stomach.

The half-burned Basilisk did look a bit disgusting.

"Hermione, is everything alright?" Andy walked over and patted the young witch on the back.

"Thanks, I'm fine!"

Hermione waved her hand to show that she was fine, and then asked curiously, "Andy, what do we do next?"

"Storing up the body of the Basilisk, of course."

Andy was bursting with joy already, "We're going to be rich this time."

As long as he sold this Basilisk, Andy could achieve financial freedom and no longer need to be oppressed by Helen's labour force because of a little pocket money.

Most importantly, the Magic Amusement Park project could also be started.

As long as the Magic Amusement Park could make money, Andy would have a constant source of funds. In the future, whatever experiments he wanted to do, he could embark on them with no restraint.

It was much better to do business than to get rich overnight.

When he thought of this, Andy took out the bag with the Undetectable Extension Charm and put half of the Basilisk in it with the Levitation Charm.
