Chapter 240 Foodies come and go

Hermione and Robert basically encountered no danger.

Yaya is very timid, and every step must be carefully explored. If there is a little bit of uncertainty, it will immediately change its direction.

The two climbed over several slopes, and the sound of gurgling water was very obvious in the middle of the night.

They were apparently near a river.

"So that's it." Hermione glanced at Fang who was leading the way, "It was looking for traces of unicorns along the river."

"It seems so." Robert nodded, "After all, unicorns also need to drink water. Well done, Fangya."

"I once read in fairy tales that the unicorn's horn can purify all dirt." Hermione sighed with emotion. "I saw this potion in Diagon Alley, 21 Galleons, it seems to be the raw material of some antidotes. .”

"Yes, the unicorn horn can be used for a long time. Just grind it a little each time. If you want to prepare an antidote for certain poisons, the unicorn horn can improve the quality of the finished antidote." Robert explained , "As for living unicorns, I haven't seen them. I don't know if they use their horns to purify water."

As he was talking, Robert felt something was wrong. There was a disgusting mood coming from the surrounding plants, as if something that made them very annoying was nearby.

Considering that an elderly foodie would be visiting the Forbidden Forest tonight, Robert decisively stopped.

Ya Ya was spinning around in circles uneasily, making a "Woo" sound.

It senses danger.

"What's wrong?" Hermione stopped even though she didn't feel anything.

"Hmm... I can't tell." Robert looked towards the forest in the distance. "It seems that there is something over there that is very dangerous and hostile to us."

Hermione asked softly, "Could it be the person who attacked the unicorn before?"

Robert shrugged.

This is inevitable.

"Then let's call Hagrid over quickly!" Hermione said in a panic, "We can't beat him!"

...No, when you see the enemy, your first reaction is to be aggressive?

As expected of Gryffindor!

"...The light and sound of the fireworks spell will attract the other party." Robert rejected her suggestion, "In this way, you and Yaya go to Hagrid, and I will watch him here."

My sister-in-law Liang seemed a little unhappy, "That's how you separated us last time!"

"Because it's very dangerous, Miss Granger." Robert had a headache. Doesn't this girl want to stay?

"Let Fang go by himself! It is small, knows the way, runs fast, and will not be easily discovered!" Hermione explained, "But if it takes me with it, its speed will definitely slow down. If the attacker takes the opportunity to escape, If it falls, he will definitely attack other unicorns again!”

Robert's eyes twitched.

Okay, what you said seems to make sense.

"Okay." Robert patted Yaya's dog's head, "Ya'er, you didn't bring Hagrid here last time, and you won't be able to bring him here this time..."

He looked at it with an unkind expression, "Have you ever heard of the dog meat hotpot in Flower Country? It's very delicious..."

Yaya was so frightened that he fell to the ground, then stood up and ran away with his tail between his legs.

The speed is several times faster than before.

Hermione rolled her eyes, "Why are you scaring Tooth?"

"Last time I encountered a nest of Acromantulas in the Forbidden Forest." Robert covered his face, "I asked this stupid dog to go back to find Hagrid, but in the end, I even returned to the castle. This coward didn't even find anyone. He couldn't do it at all. Know if it’s lost or impounded.”

Hermione's mouth opened wide, "Have you ever entered the Forbidden Forest before?"

Robert coughed dryly, "Look what you said, if you don't even dare to enter the Forbidden Forest, you're not even a Hufflepuff."

Hermione: "..."

Just smile at this time.

Considering that Hermione was nearby, Robert did not continue as planned, but squatted down and looked around.

"What are you doing?" Hermione watched in confusion as Robert rummaged around on tree branches, stones, and turf.

"Unicorn fur," Robert explained, "and soil soaked in silver blood."

"???" Hermione looked confused as to what she was going to do.

"The soil soaked in silver blood contains a small amount of magic power and can be used to cultivate plants." Robert explained vaguely, "With some magic potions, you can make fertilizer."

Hermione's expression was hard to explain, "You actually used unicorn blood to make fertilizer?"

"Well, actually dragon blood, mermaid blood, griffin blood and the like are also acceptable, but because the compatibility is too poor, and the blood of these magical creatures has special abilities, if you don't want the quality of the potions you grow to be too different, it's better not to use it. Use it at will." Robert explained, "But the blood of unicorns is different. This creature inherently has purifying properties and is very suitable for reducing the toxicity of some magic potions."

"..." Hermione, who didn't know much about the high-end technology of cultivating magic plants, was a little confused, "Huh? Can the toxicity of magic potions be reduced during cultivation?"

"Of course." Robert collected the soil and nodded with satisfaction, "Do you know puffer fish? The meat is very delicious and nutritious, but its ovaries, liver, kidneys, eyes, and blood contain highly toxic substances. Later, Muggles discovered , by changing its diet, it can effectively reduce toxins in the body."

Hermione nodded, "I've heard of this creature that looks like a balloon."

...Actually, Robert thinks it looks like a hedgehog.

"Well, yes, it does look like a ball." Robert nodded, "So, you see, it is possible to reduce toxicity through breeding."

"...I thought..." Hermione said awkwardly, "Wizards wouldn't do such a thing..."

"You mean... like Muggles, it takes a long time to cultivate a plant?" Robert shrugged, "There will always be someone to do this kind of thing."

Especially when young wizards think that they will be able to get a decent job after graduation, after many years of unsuccessful job hunting.

Every year, many people send letters to Professor Sprout, saying that they want to work for her and earn a little extra money.

"Besides." Robert pointed in the direction of Hogwarts Castle, "Haven't you been to the Weasley family? Wizarding families are almost like that, self-sufficient. If you don't know how to grow vegetables, it's a very serious matter. .”

"You must also be able to raise pigs..." Hermione rolled her eyes, "Why don't they go to Muggle supermarkets to buy food."

"...Ahem." Robert raised his head, "Well, maybe it's because they don't know what a supermarket is."

Hermione looked shocked, "Isn't there a supermarket in Diagon Alley?"

"Well, so the most important thing in Holly Garden is... the magic circles and people that prevent wizards from using magic at will." Robert felt a little pained. "Seeing so many products, wizards can't help but use flying spells."

Hermione's eyes widened.
