Hogwarts: I Am Such a Model Wizard Chapter 858

Chapter 858: Find a canteen for the fire dragon

Perhaps it was because the fire dragon eggshell was harder than normal. Although cracks had appeared, they did not mean to completely break.

Newt put them in a strange-looking box, with the bottom replaced by a criss-crossing metal mesh. From time to time, he asked Norbert to help breathe flames and heat the dragon eggs.

Kyle looked at this scene and felt that it looked a bit familiar, and there seemed to be something missing.

Like... cumin and chili powder or something like that.

Then let Newt brush some oil on the eggs, he is like a skilled barbecue master.

Just as he was thinking about it, Newt actually took out a brush.

Of course he wasn't hungry and wanted to bake himself some snacks...and the brush wasn't filled with oil, but with juice extracted from papaya tubers and cactus flowers.

According to Newt, this kind of thing can make the flames more evenly distributed on the dragon eggs, helping the fire dragon inside to break out of the shell faster.

Newt squatted beside it all night like this, and it wasn't until the next morning that two fist-sized fire dragons crawled out of the eggshell.

"Look, they're really healthy, aren't they?" Newt said with a smile, trying to pick them up.

But the two little guys who didn't even open their eyes subconsciously avoided it. They staggered towards Kyle...no, it should be said that it was Norbert behind Kyle.

To be honest, this was the first time Kyle saw such clear fear on the face of a fire dragon, mixed with a bit of panic.

It was as if what was walking toward him was not a baby fire dragon but two hundred-foot-tall Hungarian Horntails.

Norbert retracted his neck in panic. Because he was too anxious, he knocked over many things along the way and left the good room in a mess.

After that, it flew away as fast as possible and disappeared into the horizon in the blink of an eye, leaving only two little guys screaming anxiously on the spot.

"They must be used to Norbert's flames and regard her as their mother." Newt shook his head and explained: "But the fire dragons are still very intelligent, and they will soon realize that they are different from the Norwegian Spinyback Dragon." difference."

Kyle couldn't help but reach out and touch the slightly larger Ukrainian iron belly, and asked: "What should I feed them, chicken blood and brandy?"

"I guess you must have read the book "How to Tame a Fire Dragon."" Newt said. "This kind of food is indeed suitable for feeding young fire dragons, but to be honest, it's a bit outdated.

"And it's hard for fire dragons to find a whole barrel of brandy in the forest or on the cliff to feed their young."

"Then what should I prepare?" Kyle asked.

"Usually, fire dragons will chew up the flame stones and mix them with meat to feed them," Newt said.

The so-called flame stone is also called flame stone. To put it bluntly, it is the product of the stone in the fire dragon's lair being burned by the dragon's flame for a long time, constantly melting and condensing.

This special stone will continuously emit high temperature after being exposed to dragon flames. It is the favorite of fire dragons. The more flame stones in the lair, the more powerful the fire dragon living there is.

How to put it, it's a bit like what Galleons mean to wizards.

It's just that this kind of thing sounds very high-end, but it is of little use to wizards. It can only be used by a very few unpopular alchemy techniques.

As for Flame Stone...

Kyle thought for a moment, and there seemed to be something like this in the cave where Noble lived. He had seen it before when he put gold coins in it.

"I'm going to get it now. I just don't know if it's enough." Kyle said and ran out.

"Don't worry." Newt stopped him and said with a smile: "If you take away the Norwegian Spinyback Dragon's flame stone, she will probably lose her temper. In fact, we have a better choice."

"What?"

"It's best to mix some fire ash snake eggs, which can help the fire dragon pass through the juvenile stage faster." Newt thought for a while and said, "If you can't find it, salamander tails and fire crab shells will also work. "

"Well..." Kyle opened his mouth.

He didn't have any of the things Newt said. Salamander tails were easy to find, but the other two were really hard to find.

Kyle looked at Newt, blinked and smiled.

"Don't look at me like that." Newt's heart thumped, "That's your dragon, and there are such things in the fire dragon sanctuary. You can go there with the contract. Isn't it written on it? They I will be responsible for all your dragon raising expenses.”

"But there will still be some time before the contract takes effect." Kyle continued to smile, "And they are only responsible for the food of the other two dragons, and these two are not within the scope of the contract."

"Then just buy it yourself." Newt said, "You shouldn't be short of money."

"I'm short of it now." Kyle sighed, "I only have a little over a thousand Galleons left, and I still want to open a shop.

"Besides, you hatched them after all, so you can't just ignore them."

Newt's mouth dropped open.

Now he finally understood Kyle's purpose of coming to him. Was he treating this place as a canteen?

But seeing the rogue look on Kyle's face, and the fact that he really wanted to study these two fire dragons, Newt had no choice but to agree.

After getting the answer he wanted, Kyle couldn't help laughing.

Newt sighed quietly.

The cost of raising a fire dragon is not low. Their height and size, which can easily reach dozens of feet, are all eaten, especially young fire dragons.

Because they need to grow bigger as quickly as possible, grow harder dragon scales and store dragon flames in their bodies, their bodies are like a bottomless pit, and they are either eating or on the way to eat every day.

Newt still remembers the first fire dragon he raised. At that time, there was a time when he could barely afford to eat. A piece of dry bread mixed with water could last two days.

Although the situation now is definitely different from that then, Newt has a shadow, not to mention that this time he not only has to raise two, but one of them also includes an iron belly who is considered the biggest eater among fire dragons.

The reason why it is called this is because it has an iron-like belly. It not only eats a lot, but also digests it quickly. Even if it is just hatched, it can eat an entire leg of cow that is larger than itself.

Of course, that's not what Newt was distressed about. What he was distressed about were the fire-ash snake eggs and salamander tails that he had finally saved.

Two fire dragons, how much do they need to eat?

Newt was thinking about whether he should go to the Horntail nest to knock some flame stones down at night.

When the time comes, the Romanian Longhorns will be raised more carefully. As for Iron Belly... no matter how many good things he has, it won't be enough for this animal. He needs to add more to measure it.

Newt thought about it in his mind.

Kyle on the other side was very relaxed.

First of all, let me make it clear that he definitely does not regard Newt as a free meal ticket, mainly because he is afraid that he will not be able to take care of the young fire dragon.

Yes, that's it.

Saving money is really not the main purpose, just a side effect.

As for why he was laughing, it was just because he thought of something happy... He was going to have his own store soon, and he could use the extra money to add some better shelves, so he was naturally very happy.

"Well, I have another question..." Kyle thought for a while and continued: "That is, if the time turner can cause the fire dragon to break its shell early, will it have any impact on other magical animals?"

"I understand." Newt looked at Kyle deeply, "I'll go check it out in a moment."

"Thank you." Kyle said sincerely.

"But I also have a request," Newt said.

"Don't say one, ten will do." Kyle patted his chest and said.

These words definitely came from the bottom of his heart. Even if this incident hadn't happened, he wouldn't have been able to refuse Newt's request for help. "Not that many, just one." Newt looked at the parchment with Birdman's signature again. "Wouldn't the Fire Dragon Sanctuary give you two more dragon eggs in the future? I hope you can ask for a lion dragon."

Lionosaurus, the Chinese Fireball Dragon, is a species unique to the East. There are not many in Europe. As far as Kyle knows, there are only one or two in the Romanian Fire Dragon Reserve.

"Why?" Kyle asked curiously.

"Because of all the known fire dragons, I know the least about lion dragons." Newt said, "I have always wanted to expand the part about lion dragons in "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them", but I have never been able to find the opportunity. ”

"It's impossible." Kyle said doubtfully: "This kind of fire dragon is relatively rare in Europe. If you want to study it, you can go to their birthplace. I remember you and Zuowu."

"This is different." Newt's face turned slightly red, looking a little embarrassed, "Because of some things... I can't tell you what they are specifically. In short, since something happened, I don't feel very comfortable going there again. ”

"Oh, I understand." Kyle nodded. Seeing Newt's confused look, he stopped asking any more questions.

Moreover, Newt has been blocked by almost all countries, so it is normal that he cannot go there.

"There's definitely no problem with me." Kyle thought for a moment and said, "But it's not certain whether the Fire Dragon Sanctuary agrees. After all, the contract only says that I will be given two dragon eggs, and it doesn't mean that I can choose at will. "

"Don't worry about this." Newt said, "I will go with you then, and leave the rest to me."

"That's no problem." Kyle nodded.

In the next few days, Newt spent most of his time in Kyle's box. While taking care of the young fire dragon, he also observed other magical animals... In the end, he came to the conclusion that there was nothing wrong with them. Affected by the Time Turner.

"Perhaps it's because they are a part of you and have gone through a complete process from the past to back."

Over dinner, Newt explains, "The only exception is the dragon eggs, they're only halfway through it."

"Of course, this is just my speculation. I'm afraid only those who study time turners can explain the specific reasons. Why don't you ask Diana."

"Ask my mother?" Kyle couldn't help but shudder. "If she knew that I bought two fire dragons, she would definitely kill me and my father."

"What does this have to do with Chris?"

"I have to get someone to share the damage." Kyle spread his hands, "Maybe there is still a chance to survive. It is better to be beaten half to death than to be beaten to death."

The corner of Newt's mouth twitched and he looked at Kyle silently, "Does Chris know?"

"I don't know, but I don't need to." Kyle took a bite of the barbecue steak calmly, "If the same thing happens to him, he won't let me go.

"I still remember that when I was a child, he and Mr. Weasley drank too much and trampled on the hydrangea that my mother planted at the door."

"He said you did it?"

"That's not true." Kyle shook his head, "But he deceived me and kept my shoes with petals stuck on them as evidence."

"Okay." Newt closed his mouth silently and stopped talking.

After a few days, Kyle started to feel a little bored. Mainly because Newt took care of all the work of taking care of the fire dragon, and he really had nothing to do.

I wanted to help out in Newt's box, but I found that the work had been completed by Dobby, who was becoming more and more skilled. However, on the small island in the middle of the lake not far away, I could always hear waves of resentful whimpering, which was pretty good at night. frightening.

Kyle remembered that the place seemed to be the territory of the Hungarian Horntail. Although he was curious about what happened, he did not dare to look without Newt accompanying him.

After all, the Hungarian Horntail is famously bad-tempered, and he still has the smell of other fire dragons on his body. If he goes there rashly, he will probably be regarded as provocative.

In order to find something to do for himself, Kyle walked out of the room directly after eating breakfast.

"Mr. Kyle, where are you going..." Dobby hurried over and asked.

"I'm going to Diagon Alley," Kyle said. "There's an empty store there that needs cleaning."

"clean?"

Not sure if it was an illusion, but Kyle felt that Dobby's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Dobby is going with sir."

"No, no, no." Kyle waved his hand, "It's just cleaning. Don't you still have a lot of work?"

Ever since Newt started taking care of the two little guys, all the tasks in his box, including feeding, cleaning, and breaking up fights, have all fallen on Dobby. His daily workload is full.

"It's okay. Mr. Scamander said he would go back today. Dobby has time to accompany Mr. Kyle to clean up."

"Okay." Kyle thought for a while and thought it would be a good idea to bring a house elf there.

"I will pay you the corresponding wages."

"How generous." Dobby's tears fell down and he choked with sobs: "Mr. Kyle actually took the initiative to pay Dobby his wages."

"But no, sir." Dobby stared with two big red eyes, "Dobby is here to help sir, not work, and he cannot ask for wages."

"Then I'll treat you to ice cream. How about hazelnut and peanut kernels?"

As expected, Dobby cried again, and the tears fell on his jeans in patches, as if he had been caught in the rain.

Kyle also doesn't understand how long Dobby has been here and why his personality is still the same.

After finally calming down the excited house elf, they arrived at Diagon Alley.

Kyle used a magic contract to open the door and walked in. He smelled a strong strange smell.

He had to use a head soaking spell on himself to block the strange smell.

Kyle originally wanted to put one on Dobby, but he shook his head and said that he didn't need it. Kyle didn't force it and just put a cyclone spell for ventilation, and then started the cleaning work.

I have to say, it was a wise decision to bring Dobby.

Or maybe there is a specialization in the arts. House elves are much better at cleaning than wizards. Kyle just tidied up a small area, and Dobby had already cleaned half of the house, even the corners. He carefully picked out all the foxy girls inside and threw them into a basket.

"Many little guys like to eat foxtails, and these are enough for them to have a full meal." Dobby explained.

"You really didn't come here in vain." Kyle couldn't help but said as he watched him carefully cover the bamboo basket.

But what Dobby said is right. Although foxtails are poisonous, for some magical animals, the poison not only has no effect, but can also add a unique taste, which is similar to seasoning and can be eaten as a snack. Still very good.

With Dobby's help, the cleaning work was quickly completed. The house, which was originally dirty and full of dust, completely changed its appearance. It was as clean as if it had been washed with water, and even the color was much brighter.

Kyle also kept his promise and bought Dobby an extrlarge luxury ice cream with all the nuts that could be added.

The elf was so excited that he cried again.

After cleaning, it's time to decorate the store, but don't rush this, just take your time. Install a shelf today and a table tomorrow, which is perfect to pass the time.

During this period, the two fire dragon cubs were getting bigger and bigger... No, we can no longer call them cubs, especially the iron belly, which was like an inflatable one. It grew a lot bigger every day, and it was already bigger than Kai when he stood up. You're still tall, and you could even knock him over if you pounced on him.

A few days later, there was still no news from Dumbledore, but the magic contract on the parchment suddenly lit up.
