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 crossed metal mesh. From time to time, Norbert would be beside him 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... Also, the brush was not 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 dragon but two hundred-foot-tall Hungarian Horntails.

Norbert retracted his neck in panic. Because he was too anxious, he knocked over a lot of 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.

Flame Stone's words...

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 flame stone of the Norwegian Spinosaurus, 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. Every day, they are either eating or on the way to eat.

Newt still remembers the first fire dragon he raised. At that time, there was a period of time when he could not even afford to eat. A piece of dry bread mixed with water could last for two days.

Although the current situation is definitely different from that time, Newt has a shadow. What's more, this time he not only has to raise two dragons, but also one of them is the iron belly, which is considered a big eater among fire dragons.

The reason for this name is that it has an iron belly. Not only does it eat a lot, but it also digests quickly. Even if it is just hatched, it can eat a whole cow leg that is bigger than it.

Of course, Newt is not distressed about these. He is distressed about the fire ash snake eggs and fire lizard tails that he has saved with great difficulty.

Two fire dragons, how much will they eat.

Newt is thinking about whether he should go to the tree bee nest at night to knock down some flame stones.

By then, the Romanian longhorn dragon will be raised more carefully. As for the iron belly... no matter how many good things he has, it will not be enough for this beast. Just add more.

Newt was thinking in his mind.

Kyle on the other side was very relaxed.

First of all, he definitely did not treat Newt as a free meal ticket. The main reason was... he was afraid that he could not take good care of the young dragon.

Yes, that's it.

Saving money is really not the main purpose, but just a result by the way.

As for why he laughed, it was just because he thought of something happy... He was about to have his own store, and he could use the extra money to buy a few better shelves, so he was naturally very happy.

"Well, I have another question..." Kyle thought for a while and continued, "If the time converter can cause the dragon to hatch early, will it have any impact on other magical animals?"

"I understand." Newt looked at Kyle deeply, "I'll go and take a look in a while."

"Thank you for your hard work." Kyle said sincerely.

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

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

These words were absolutely from the heart. Even if there was no such thing, he would not refuse Newt's help.

"No need for so many, just one." Newt looked at the parchment with Birdman's signature again. "Won't the Fire Dragon Reserve give you two dragon eggs later? I hope you can ask for a lion dragon."

The lion dragon is the Chinese fireball dragon, which 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 among 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 never found the opportunity."

"Impossible." Kyle asked 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 also have Zouwu."

"That's different." Newt's face flushed slightly, looking a little embarrassed, "Because of some things... I can't tell you what they are specifically. Anyway, since something happened, I am not very embarrassed to go there again."

"Oh, I see." Kyle nodded, and seeing Newt's tangled look, he didn't ask any more questions.

And Newt has been blacklisted by almost all countries, so it is normal that he can't go there.

"I'm sure there will be no problem here." Kyle thought for a moment and said, "But it's not certain whether the Fire Dragon Sanctuary will agree. After all, the contract only says that I will be given two dragon eggs, and it doesn't say that I can choose at will."

"Don't worry about that." Newt said, "I will go with you when the time comes, and leave the rest to me."

"That's no problem." Kyle nodded.

...

In the next few days, Newt stayed in Kyle's box most of the time. While taking care of the young fire dragon, he also observed other magical animals... Finally, he concluded that they were all fine and were not affected by the time converter.

"Maybe it's because they are considered part of you, and they have gone through the complete process from the past to the present."

During a dinner, Newt explained, "The only exception is the dragon eggs, which have only experienced half of it."

"Of course, this is just my speculation. The specific reason can probably only be explained by people who study time converters. Why don't you ask Diana?"

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

"What does this have to do with Chris?"

"I have to drag someone to share the damage." Kyle spread his hands, "Maybe there is a chance to survive. Being beaten half to death is better than being beaten to death."

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

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

"I still remember that when he was a child, he and Mr. Weasley drank too much and trampled the hydrangeas 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 all the 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 didn't dare to take a 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 to 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 deep and shallow patches, as if he had been caught in the rain.

Kyle also didn't understand how long Dobby had been here and why he still had the same personality.

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 charm on it for ventilation, and then started the cleaning work.

…

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

Or maybe they have specializations in the arts. House elves are much better at cleaning than wizards. As soon as Kyle tidied up a small area, 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 ones like to eat foxmeat, 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 originally dirty house with dust everywhere 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 extra-large 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 when it stood up. Kyle is still taller, and he can even knock him over if he pounces.

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