Chapter 186 The Patinated Wand

The collapse of the Sky City caused shock in many quarters.

That is to say, the Romanian side is relatively remote, and I only received the news now.

If it were placed in Hogwarts, Lin Xia might have received relevant information on the day of the collapse.

While thinking, two more owls flew in, and the person they flew to together was Lin Xia!

Opening the letter sent by the owl, it was from Professor McGonagall and Dean Sprout.

Professor McGonagall told Lin Xia not to worry. The collapse of the Sky City had been confirmed, the deformed objects had disappeared, and the Ministry of Magic was handling it.

[I first received the news that the transformed items were missing, and then I received the news that the Sky City had collapsed. At that time, I was still wondering if Anil would let you go in and explore again.

Well now, the Sky City no longer exists, and his exploration of transfiguration has to stop.

You are in Romania, a remote place, so you don’t have to worry about being affected. If you are in danger, you can seek help from a fire dragon named "Stani".

It has received my favor many years ago. As long as you mention my name to it, it will protect you]

Lin Xia discovered that Professor McGonagall had a wide range of friends.

When she went to the centaurs tribe before, she also got a letter from Professor McGonagall.

Now when she goes to Romania, Professor McGonagall can also bring in reinforcements for her.

These are golden thighs!

However, Lin Xia was skeptical about Professor McGonagall's statement that Anier would stop exploring the art of transformation.

Many people like to disguise themselves, but often this disguise breaks down when faced with something they are interested in.

In her impression, Anil was a complete transfiguration research madman.

After reading Professor McGonagall's letter, she opened the dean's letter.

The director was active in the Nia Forest behind Romania and said in the letter:

[I have received news of the collapse of the Sky City, and the transformation objects have been stolen, but you don’t have to worry, this matter has nothing to do with you, and it will not affect you.

If someone wants to arrest you for this matter, you can enter the Nia Forest. I have made some arrangements at the entrance, which is very simple for you.

But I hope you never need these arrangements. 】

The dean said fewer words than Professor McGonagall, and he spoke concisely. Along with the letter, he also included a poisonous weed.

This is a new poisonous weed discovered by the dean in Romania. He has just dug up some and plans to transplant it to Hogwarts for planting.

I happened to hear about this, so I gave one to Lin Xia.

Lin Xia gently touched the rhizome of the poisonous weed. It was very fresh and there was still some soil left on it.

The effect of this poisonous weed is also quite special.

Although it is said to be a poison, it does not sound like a poison. It is mainly likely to cause sudden acute conditions.

The dean said that once a wizard comes into contact with the juice of poisonous weeds, he will have a feeling of angina, as if he has been subjected to some kind of brutal torture.

This kind of pain is mental pain, but it actually does no harm to the body, and the pain will disappear after an hour.

Here comes the point!

After the pain is over, the body can gain a kind of feedback power, that is, it can become stronger.

The dean regarded the herb as poison.

But in Lin Xia's opinion, it is more like a beneficial grass.

As long as it is used properly, it has a good exercise effect on the body.

Neither dean believed that Lin Xia had anything to do with the collapse of Sky City, but she was one of the last little wizards to enter the depths of Sky City. Someone from the Ministry of Magic might come to inquire.

The methods the professor gave her were only used when encountering an accident. If it was just a normal process, she would not be able to use it at all.

After Lin Xia read the letter, he asked Charlie: "Do you have a fire dragon named Stany here?"

"Stanney?"

Before Charlie could answer, the other wizards couldn't help but speak out.

"This fire dragon is the freest fire dragon in the breeding farm. It stayed in Romania voluntarily. It is very powerful. No other fire dragon dares to provoke it."

"Stanney usually doesn't pay attention to us and does his own thing alone."

"Stanny is the cunningest. He stole the most snacks in the past!"

Lin Xia listened and felt that this fire dragon had quite a personality.

After breakfast, everyone was busy doing their own thing. Lin Xia returned to the tent, planning to extract the venom from the poisonous weeds first.

When she encountered this poisonous weed, she had a new idea. Maybe she could combine it with cold pills.

It should be possible to dilute the juice of poisonous weeds, retain the toxicity, and remove the gain part.

Lin Xia studied until lunch and gathered in the dining hall.

On her way here, she found that wizards were already digging trenches at the location where she saw the blood energy appear.

After dinner, Lin Xia went to Charlie and told him about her idea of ​​cold pills.

Lin Xia said: "I think we must not only take advantage of the terrain, but we can also defeat them one by one from the cold pills."

Charlie was interested in her idea.

"We have actually thought about this idea, but we don't have much talent in potions and cannot modify the cold pills. If you can modify the cold pills, you can try it."

Lin Xia didn't say how many kinds of pills he had modified. After all, they were all immature pills.

"I'll give it a try and let you know when it can be put into use, but before that, I need to get some material help."

Charlie said without thinking: "No problem, I can give you a part of the quota for the use of fire realm materials."

This is not considered a privilege.

As an excellent student at Hogwarts, Lin Xia could have received some preferential treatment in terms of resources.

Afternoon.

Lin Xia did not continue her research, but went to the gem dragon to cultivate her relationship with it and asked about her pet egg.

In addition to training dragons, the dragon breeding farm also has special doctors to repair the dragons' bodies, including a trainer who is responsible for the newly born dragons.

Lin Xia showed the egg to the trainer.

The trainer was an old man.

He looked older than Dumbledore, with white hair and wrinkles on his face that could circle the city several times.

When looking at things, you have to use a magnifying glass to see clearly.

And the wand he used seemed to be as old as his age. The wand had been polished to a patina and wrapped in a warm luster.

Lin Xia glanced at his wand and then looked away.

The trainer reached out and stroked the pet egg, exclaiming in an incredible voice: "The vitality is almost completely gone, but it is not dead yet. Oh, what a tenacious little guy."

"I feel the breath of the essence of life. Well, you have used more than one to cultivate it."

The trainer turned to look at Lin Xia, "In fact, the potential vitality of this egg has been awakened by you. As long as it can absorb the essence of life on its own, it will definitely have the possibility of revival, but you did not use the right incubation method."

Lin Xia humbly asked: "How to incubate it?"

The trainer shook his head: "It's hard to say, it's hard to say. First of all, we have to determine what kind of pet egg this is. Do you have any ideas?"

Lin Xia shook her head: "I don't know."

"That's a pity. I can only help you test it step by step. The testing process is very cumbersome. You can go outside and chat with the fire dragon first. You have to wait at least three to five hours."

Lin Xia: "Okay."

Before leaving, she glanced at the trainer's magic wand with the corner of her eye and lifted the tent.

Lin Xia went to the fire dragon training ground.

These fire dragons were doing basic training. After just one day, their injuries had recovered by more than half, at least no serious flesh wounds were visible.

Will supervised the training of these fire dragons, letting them repeatedly use their claws to tear wood.

The other two wizards accompanied Will and supervised together.

Will saw Lin Xia coming over and asked, "Are you going to tell stories to the fire dragons today? These fire dragons like to listen to the stories you write the next day after each battle."

Lin Xia: ? ? ?

"Uh, are you sure these fire dragons can understand?"

Will shrugged: "I don't know, but at least they listen with relish."

Lin Xia smiled: "Okay, wait until their daily training is over, I will tell them stories."

Will immediately shouted to the fire dragons: "Little guys, did you hear that? The original creator of the story will tell you the story in person later. Work hard in training and don't be lazy!"

Lin Xia took advantage of his free time to ask about the situation of the trainer.

Will: "His name is Fried, he is an old guy in the Fire Dragon Farm, he has been here for at least fifty years, older than all our employees."

Lin Xia asked curiously: "Then he knows the terrain here better than all of you, including those secrets you don't know."

Will was stunned, "The Fire Dragon Farm is clear at a glance, what secrets can there be?"

Lin Xia asked again: "Didn't you see him take action?"

Will shook his head: "No, didn't you see his wand, it was worn out like this, and it was also covered with a thick layer of pulp, it was a question whether it could be used.

Every time a thief broke in, we asked him to hide first and not let him participate in the battle."

Seeing this, Lin Xia didn't say anything else, and turned to mention her pet egg.

Although Will looked down on Fried's fighting ability, he admired his ability to breed pet eggs.

"He has helped at least 50 dragons hatch, and has a wealth of breeding experience. Not only Romanian wizards ask him for help, but many wizards from outside also come to him specifically."

"So, there has never been any theft in his hands?"

Will affirmed: "No, he is very principled in breeding pet eggs. Even if some pet eggs are stolen, it is not his fault, but the farm was invaded by thieves."

Will saw that she kept asking about Fred, and couldn't help asking: "Why, are you interested in breeders?"

Lin Xia nodded: "One thing, maybe I have never seen such a wand, Fred looks very old, I am a little worried whether he will be dazzled by my pet eggs."

Will vowed: "Don't worry, Fred is very professional!"

After the training, the fire dragons surrounded Lin Xia.

Lin Xia took out the letter she had written long ago, and continued with the story she sent last time.

"The fire dragon happily developed its territory, promoted a human to be the archon, let the human manage his people, and make statistics on the daily consumption of the territory.

The fire dragon did not spend resources in vain, it waited for the territory to develop, and the people to fight everywhere and bring back supplies for it.

Unfortunately, the territory had only been developed for a month when it ushered in the first invasion, which was an invasion from the dwarves. The dwarves had their eyes on several huge iron mines in the territory, and the war was about to break out..."

What Lin Xia told the fire dragon was a story of catching a turtle in a jar.

The idea of ​​this story is also very simple.

The dwarves wanted to get the iron mines, so they bribed some of the people in the territory, and the people told them a way without traps and ambushes.

The dwarves believed it, and got some iron ore the first time they passed this route.

So they bribed the people and got another safe route.

The second time, the dwarves succeeded again, and got more iron ore than before.

Then the dwarves bribed the people again for the third time and got the third route.

But this time, the dwarves failed.

Their route was discovered by the fire dragons in advance, and they caught all the dwarves on the road.

Lin Xia asked them: "Do you know why the fire dragons knew the route of the dwarves?"

The fire dragons listened expressionlessly.

Those expressionless dragon faces also made Lin Xia wonder whether they could understand or not.

But one was willing to talk, and the other was willing to stay, and Lin Xia got along well with them.

Lin Xia glanced at the tent of the breeding house not far away, smiled, and said in a calm voice:

"That's because the fire dragon has long known that the dwarves are planning to steal the iron mines in the territory, so he deliberately asked the people to reveal the route, just to lure the dwarves into the trap!

The dwarves succeeded twice, and the fire dragon successfully paralyzed their attention. When they stole the iron mines for the third time, they sent out the most elite warriors in the tribe and the most powerful weapons.

The fire dragon suddenly appeared and caught them all in one fell swoop, almost destroying 2/3 of the dwarves' population.

From then on, the dwarves did not dare to covet the fire dragon's territory, and regarded the fire dragon's territory as the leader."

Lin Xia stayed with the fire dragon for three hours, and then went to the breeding house to find Fried.

Fried was wiping the tools.

Her blue-gray pet egg was placed on the table, with a thick and smooth velvet cloth underneath, as if she was afraid that the pet egg would be broken.

Seeing Lin Xia, Fred's old voice came: "I have checked it. Although your pet egg looks big, it is just a beetle egg. There is a kind of pet egg of a big beetle that is this color."

Lin Xia frowned, unbelievable: "Just a beetle?"

"Wouldn't that waste the life essence I invested before? I thought it was a powerful pet, such as a fire dragon!"

Fried smiled: "Little witch, the pet egg of a fire dragon doesn't look like this. Don't be discouraged. The life essence can make the pet egg mutate to a certain extent. Maybe it has already mutated."

Lin Xia carefully checked and found that the surface of the egg was smooth and reflective. She reached out and touched it: "What did you put on it?"

"The special juice mixed with the essence of fire leaves can help stimulate the activity of pet eggs. This egg has lost too much vitality and has missed the best incubation time.

It can only be through continuous investment of life essence, and there are other ways to slowly brew the vitality of the shell again."

Fried paused and said calmly: "Little witch, if you don't like big beetles, you can sell this egg to me."
