Chapter 389: Camel head, antlers, snake body, fish scales... beast?

Chu Ni Fan Wan
On the Hogwarts Quidditch training ground in early January, the sky was clear and clear. Although the weather had not warmed up yet, many students wearing thick uniforms were still practicing.
Sun Zhu was doing stretching exercises while listening to the little witch talking about her doubts.
"They don't like to talk to me, but I don't care about that." The little witch adjusted her hat, "I only need a few friends. My mother said I don't need to be understood by everyone, and I think so too. It's just that a few Gryffindors have been coming to talk to me recently...but I can see that they can't understand me."
"Who is it?" Sun Zhu was a little surprised, "It's just Gryffindor, so it's not surprising."
Luna nodded: "I recognize them, Ginny's brother, the legendary savior, and their 'Miss Know-it-all'."
"Huh?" Sun Zhu simply threw the Quaffle in his hand to Karina, "Ron, Harry and Hermione? Why are they looking for you?"
"They seemed very interested in my dad's work."
"Um, "The Quibbler"?" Sun Zhu found that he couldn't understand the brain circuits of the three of them at all. "Did they ask any relevant questions?"
"They asked me if the reporters at "The Quibbler" always tell the truth and never make things up. They also asked me about the author of a certain article - Dad's magazine often publishes anonymous articles." Luna shook her head, her carrot earrings dangled. , "It's a pity that I can't answer any questions. I'm not interested in these."
"Are they disappointed with the Daily Prophet and want to find other ways to redress their grievances? Have they encountered any injustice recently?" Sun Zhu rubbed his eyes. He really couldn't understand the twists and turns, so he simply asked: "Then are they causing trouble to you?"
"No." Luna shook her head vigorously, "They are very interesting people. Even if they can't understand each other, they can still be friends."
"Of course, when friends get along, tolerance is more important than understanding." Sun Zhu decided to ask Hermione when he had time. Now he just patted Luna on the shoulder, "Stop standing here, it's very crowded here." Leng, if you still want to watch us train, go to the auditorium."
"You don't look like you have much to wear either."
"It gets hot when you exercise, and we have a lot of measures to keep warm." Sun Zhu looked up at the sky and suddenly frowned.
Isn’t that shining golden light not far away the old man who ran to Newt and hasn’t come back for a long time?
Luna also noticed the cool-looking golden color and exclaimed: "Wow, this thing is really weird!"
It was unclear whether Comrade Jianguo could understand this compliment, but just in case, Sun Zhu had no choice but to say hello to his friends and returned to the rest area.
Fortunately, because of the strong wind, I didn't ride a broom today. Otherwise, just Uncle Long's swagger would have scared many people off the broom.
Luna's silver-gray eyes stared unblinking at the golden UFO approaching them. Sun Zhu on the side waved to it angrily: "Come here, how many people do you want to see? I don't have time. Explain your origins to everyone who sees you."
Ever since she gave Uncle Long this gold dragon made from alchemy, he no longer cared about other people's opinions and flew around the school casually, even flying in front of a few professors.
Until more than a month ago, Neo Brand, who teaches alchemy to sixth and seventh graders, came to ask her in person. He was very curious about the unusual mystery of Uncle Long.
"I can confirm that I saw traces of alchemy on that golden camel-headed antlered snake-body fish-scale tiger-mouthed eagle-clawed bull-eared lion-nosed goldfish-tailed beast, but it is so flexible that it seems to have a soul..."
"Wait, I'm sorry, Professor." Sun Zhu's eyes widened, "What did you mean golden?"
"A camel-headed deer-antlered snake-body fish-scaled tiger's mouth eagle-clawed cow-eared lion-nosed goldfish-tailed beast." Professor Brand repeated it again very fluently.
Sun Zhu counted it with his fingers and found that he was right, but he still felt weird: "Where did you hear this name?"
"Professor Scamander told me, to be honest, I went to ask him first, and he told me that he named it after the Hippogriff. Although it is a bit longer, it is very rigorous. And this makes it even more precious and peculiar. However, Professor Scamander said that he knows very little about this magical species, because you are the real owner of this alchemical product, but the alchemical product cannot fully reflect its properties. What a wonder. Of course, I don’t actually have much research on magical animals. I just hope that Miss Sun can tell me about this golden camel’s antlers..."
"Please wait a moment, Professor Brand!" Sun Zhu immediately interrupted his singing, "It's actually not that troublesome. Although Professor Scamander's name is accurate, I would rather you call it Chinese Dragon. "
"It's indeed a lot simpler." Brand thought for a while, "I know a little about fire dragons, so it is actually a new species of fire dragons living in China? Is it a close relative of the Chinese Fireball Dragon?"
Sun Zhu let out a long sigh. In fact, she knew that Brand was curious about the golden dragon, not some ancient and mysterious Chinese dragon.However, out of respect and because of the intellectual curiosity of scholars, he was very patient and listened to this fourth-year student continue to introduce the so-called Chinese dragon.
Yes, even if the professor doesn't necessarily want to know, she has to explain it clearly.Uncle Long, this arrogant man, definitely doesn't want to be compared to those fire dragons.He has more than once despised these "distant relatives" of his in the West, saying that they all looked too sorry.
"Chinese dragons are just named similar to fire dragons. In fact, they don't have much to do with each other. The biggest difference is that they are very sacred and noble existences to Chinese Muggles. They are more holy than unicorns and more immortal than immortals. Birds are even rarer and more powerful than any xxxxx level animal recognized by the Ministry of Magic... Of course, not many Chinese Muggles have seen them now, but they are still regarded as beliefs, revered and looked forward to..."
Brand nodded in understanding, until Sun Zhu said: "So this alchemy product is actually made by combining the ancestral Chinese armor-breaking technique that my mother left to me, so it doesn't look like ordinary alchemy products. Same. Yes, the advanced Chinese armor-breaking technique can even cause creation to produce...souls."
Professor Brand was very excited: "So, can you tell me how to do it..."
Sun Zhu continued to lie without blinking: "I'm sorry, this is a secret skill passed down from ancestors. Without mother's permission, I can't...Actually, I can't understand the mystery of it either, because this is something my mother left to me, and I haven’t seen her in a long time.”
She lowered her head, looking a little disappointed.This made Brand, who originally wanted to borrow Jin Zilong for research, unable to speak at all. He could only leave without saying anything after praising China as a mysterious and powerful place.
Thinking of this, Sun Zhu pinched Jin Zilong, who was possessed by Uncle Long with a trace of spiritual thoughts, and said viciously: "Every time after deceiving a classmate or professor who doesn't know the truth, I have to knock on my merit wooden fish." . I, a Hufflepuff, have been forced into such a situation by you. Why do you want to come to me with such a big fanfare today!"
Luna seemed even more excited when she saw Sun Zhu suddenly switching to Chinese and with a ferocious expression.However, after the strange thing said something, Sun Zhu immediately turned around and said goodbye to her apologetically, and then ran away in one direction.
That should be where Professor Scamander works, Luna thought.But what did that weird thing say just now?
Although she didn't understand the language, she felt that from the tone, it should be a very dirty word.
