Chapter 162: A New Idea

Allen thought about the transfigured beast until right before he went to sleep.

As a result, the next morning, he indeed randomized a pair of horns; it was not the first time he had randomized all kinds of horns, but what made today's horns most special was that this pair was extraordinarily, extraordinarily huge.

He suspected these were ox horns; these massive ox horns made his neck suffer greatly.

These huge horns were conical, growing straight out on both sides of his head, with the distance between the tips of the two horns being nearly two meters.

This meant that when he went out, he had to turn sideways just to walk through the dormitory door...

The heavy ox horns also shifted Allen's center of gravity, making him feel as though he might fall at any moment.

Moreover, just on the stretch of road from the Gryffindor tower to the Great Hall, he felt his neck already beginning to ache...

For his poor neck, so that he wouldn't be crushed into not growing taller, Allen cast two Levitation Charms on the ox horns on his head, and only then did he feel somewhat better.

Fortunately, the students and teachers at Hogwarts were no longer surprised by Allen's strange daily transfigurations, so today he did not cause any particularly great commotion; he only needed to ensure his huge horns didn't bump into others while walking.

At breakfast, he had to occupy three seats by himself to avoid his horns bumping into others.

After eating, he received a letter delivered by Hedwig; the letter was from Mr. Scamander.

Allen suspected this old gentleman was living in seclusion in Britain, simply because he was too old and didn't want to move around much...

The letter read as follows:

Dear Allen:

Although I am often amazed by your whimsical ideas, this time your whimsical idea has greatly exceeded my expectations; I do not know why you would raise such a question, but I have still decided to do my best to answer it for you.

The basilisk's most deadly feature is still its eyes; if it were other wizards, I indeed would have no good advice to give them, but you are different; you possess a magical transfiguration talent, which makes many impossible things possible.

Another natural enemy of the basilisk is the phoenix; the phoenix can be completely immune to the basilisk's gaze attack, and the phoenix's tears can also be the only antidote to the basilisk's deadly poison, and all of this is because the phoenix possesses a pair of very magical eyes imbued with Han Zhu Mo Fa.

So returning to the question you raised, you can use your magical transfiguration talent to transfigure phoenix eyes just as you transfigured dragon scales; this way, you can be immune to the basilisk's gaze attack.

And once you have phoenix eyes, many spells that require aiming can be used normally against the basilisk; here I recommend you use the Yan Ji Zhou; the Yan Ji Zhou is a common spell wizards use to deal with large magical creatures (it works particularly well against dragons, but will also thoroughly enrage them), and it is also a spell that works particularly well on many large magical creatures; although I have never used the Yan Ji Zhou on magical beasts (the Yan Ji Zhou causes them great pain), I will not deny the usefulness of the Yan Ji Zhou.

Although today's question is very interesting, I still suggest you usually use your intelligence in the right places, rather than daydreaming about something impossible.

Newt Scamander.

Allen put away the letter and fell into deep thought.

Mr. Scamander's letter provided him with a very good Xin De Xiang Fa, but he should ask fewer questions like this in the future; Mr. Scamander has already subtly raised an objection.

Transfiguring phoenix eyes can completely solve the problem he faces when encountering the basilisk's eyes, so transfiguring phoenix eyes on the day he faces the basilisk is his best choice.

Mr. Scamander's mention of the Yan Ji Zhou also showed him other methods to deal with the basilisk; although the letter said the Yan Ji Zhou could effectively deal with large magical creatures, Allen was still not entirely reassured; after all, records of wizards fighting basilisks are truly too scarce, and Allen dared not guarantee the Yan Ji Zhou would work on the basilisk.

So he would not place all his hopes on the Yan Ji Zhou blinding the basilisk's eyes; if it failed to blind them, he would be completely in the dark.

So Allen could only treat the Yan Ji Zhou as a backup; he was a person who would not put all his eggs in one basket.

Moreover, this preparation time still had three months left; his time was still relatively abundant. So he would definitely make use of this time to prepare many sets of plans; after all, in his limited number of battles, various accidents often occurred, so this time he must make sufficient preparations to minimize all accidental factors.

He would prepare one set of plans based on the scenario where the Yan Ji Zhou could blind the basilisk's eyes, but he could not base all his plans on the premise that the Yan Ji Zhou could blind the basilisk's eyes.

So he still needed to find some more powerful offensive means; once again, he turned his gaze toward the dragon's breath; this was absolutely the most powerful offensive means he could think of at present; although if he transfigured phoenix eyes he could no longer transfigure the glands for dragon breath, he still wanted to try transfiguring the glands for dragon breath.

Who doesn't like being able to spew powerful flames from their mouth? Perhaps this is the romance of boys!

However, all of this must be under the premise of ensuring safety.

After some thought, Allen made up his mind.

So he went to Professor McGonagall's office.

"Watusi long-horned ox horns!" Professor McGonagall recognized at a glance what animal's horns Allen had randomized today; she seemed to be in a good mood today.

"Professor McGonagall, you actually know what these ox horns are?" Allen asked in surprise.

"Yes, these are oxen from southern Africa in South Africa; I have seen them before when I traveled." Professor McGonagall explained patiently, reaching out to tap the huge horns on Allen's head...

Upon hearing Professor McGonagall mention her travels in Africa, Allen felt a bit guilty and quickly changed the subject to his reason for coming today.

"Professor McGonagall, I am here today to apply for magical materials."

"Oh? Do you have any new ideas recently? What magical materials do you want to apply for? What do you want to transfigure?" This topic successfully sparked Professor McGonagall's interest.

"Uh... I want to apply for a dragon scale; I want to transfigure the glands a dragon uses for breath." Allen said with a stiff face.

The smile on Professor McGonagall's face vanished instantly; her lips pressed tightly together, and her expression became serious again...

"I think you should be down-to-earth now and not aim too high to transfigure these eye-catching things; even if you can transfigure successfully, even if you can use the dragon's glands to breathe fire, then where exactly can you use it?" Professor McGonagall asked sternly.

Allen felt Professor McGonagall's gaze at him was like looking at a potential arsonist, fearing he would set the entire Hogwarts ablaze...

Allen felt Professor McGonagall made a lot of sense, but he also felt somewhat unwilling in his heart...
