Chapter 44 Maintaining Relationships
In this way, Yang Tian was almost madly enriching his knowledge reserves and improving his combat capabilities.
Potions, herbal medicine, talismans, Chinese medicine, healer-related studies, general training for the Nightmare Organization, wolfsbane potion experimental project...
Of course, in addition to studying, Yang Tian also maintains his network through his actions.
Every week, Yang Tian would accompany his parents to visit Nightmare's base in Knockturn Alley via Floo, chat with uncles and aunts, and learn about Sarok's information.
Strangely enough, after the battle at the research institute, Sarok immediately launched a frantic investigation of Juelu Street. But after the Free family intervened, the black-robed wizards withdrew. After that, Sarok completely disappeared, as if he had never appeared.
But Yang Tian knew that Sarok was just licking his wounds in the dark and accumulating strength. They would definitely appear again in unexpected places and attack and hurt people...
Yang Tian is also very concerned about the future plans of uncles and aunts like Nightmare.
Now there are only thirteen people left in Nightmare, including Yang Tian. Each of them is the treasure of the team and must not be lost.
After discussion, Aunt Sophia will still serve as the liaison, but will stay at the Nightmare Station with her family.
Aunt Sophia's husband Liam, Andrew, Cice, and a 40-year-old witch named Gemma all have deep attainments in potions and can participate in the mass production of potions.
The other five members also have their own destinations:
Humbert and Bradan are both thoughtful and good at gathering intelligence. Sophie placed them in the Ministry of Magic through the connections of the Foley family.
Although their positions are not high and they are just ordinary civil servants, Yang Tian believes that with time, their roles will be irreplaceable.
Rameses and Peregrine were both calm and friendly, so Sophie arranged for them to stay in the Foley family's shop in Diagon Alley.
Yang Tian also has high hopes for them, hoping that they can become Nightmare's new blood supply station.
Eulallia is good at interrogation and subversion. She was also assigned to the base, but her mission was different. She needed to continue to watch over Kayla and try to dig out more clues about Sarok. Of course, it would be best if she could completely subdue Kayla.
After settling everyone in Nightmare, Yang Tian naturally would not forget to maintain contact with his new friends.
As his research into Astoria's blood curse deepened, Yang Tian now only needed to treat the little girl once a week to stabilize her condition.
This earned Yang Tian the deep friendship of the Greengrass family.
The Greengrass family has come to see him as the only hope to break the family curse.
The little girl Astoria naturally became more and more dependent on Yang Tian.
As the three improved low-level potions developed by Yang Wen were launched one after another, the Foley family and the Greengrass family quickly seized the market through their respective channels.
It can be said that the Greengrass family is basically tied to Yang Tian’s chariot.
The only variable between Yang Tian and the Greengrass family is Daphne. Fortunately, PUA is very successful, at least for now, this little girl can't cause any trouble...
In addition, Yang Tian would often write letters to his grandfather, whom he had never met. No matter from which angle you look at it, the old man was very good to him (very good, impeccable).
If you don't embrace such a strong and caring person now, when will you do so?
Although he didn't know what happened exactly, he knew a little bit about his father's desire to return to the family over the years. He wanted to mediate, but the old man was a hurdle he couldn't get around.
Fortunately, Hai Dongqing is in charge of correspondence, so it is not a problem to gradually enhance our relationship.
Speaking of this Saker Falcon, Yang Tian named it Meng Meng Jiao. This Saker Falcon is a female eagle. Even after being subdued by Yang Tian, it still looks arrogant. It is still a little eagle, so cute. So, the name Meng Meng Jiao comes from this.
Originally, everything was developing in a good direction. Even Caiyu and Liangyu became more and more familiar with Yang Tian and liked him more and more.
But misfortune is the foundation of good fortune, and good fortune is the root of misfortune.
Although Yang Tian has tried very hard, some things still happen that are not as expected.
For example, Neville Longbottom. Although the two of them had been keeping in touch through letters, Yang Tian could tell that Neville had a good impression of him.
But he invited Neville to come to Forley Manor to play several times, but Neville's grandmother politely refused.
Yang Tian also asked his grandparents indirectly whether there was any rift between the Fry family and the Longbottom family. But the answer he got was no. Not only that, the actual situation was exactly the opposite. Neville's grandmother and his grandmother were very good friends. This made Yang Tian even more difficult to understand.
But what can Yang Tian do? He can't ask the reason.
Helplessly, he could only keep his doubts to himself and wait to find out the truth in the future.
The years are short, half of them are fireworks and half of them are quiet joy. In a blink of an eye, Yang Tian's 10th birthday arrived as scheduled in this fulfilling and leisurely life.
Unlike last year when he needed to justify his birthday, Yang Tian’s birthday party this year was very low-key. Mr. Barnett only invited close friends to have a meal together and called it a day.
The grandfather far away in the East seemed to have the same idea. He did not make any big scene, but sent a birthday gift, the Nine-Turn Golden Needle, quietly via a crane.
It is obvious that this set of gold needles is not ordinary stuff. It is numbered as Jiuzhuan and the whole set has 81 needles in total.
Yang Tian is quite knowledgeable in Chinese medicine, so the Nine Transformations Gold Needle is naturally a priceless treasure to him...
After the warm birthday night, Yang Tian's life immediately returned to normal. It seemed that nothing could affect his determination to absorb magical knowledge.
A few months passed quickly, and the analysis of the Fire Ash Snake was finally completed. The time it took for the intelligent brain to analyze the Sniff was almost the same as the last time, also 11 months.
As a result, Yang Tian's dantian also obtained a mass of evolved fire element with the same amount of wood element, gold element and earth element. A small area of darkness in his brain was illuminated again. Similarly, his magic power increased by 1/3.
At this time, Yang Tian had another series of fire ash snake pets named "Fighter".
The reason why it is called a series is because of the special nature of this magical animal.
Their lifespan is only an hour. During their limited life, the Fire Ash Snake will choose a hidden place to lay eggs, and then their body will fall apart and turn into dust.
Yang Tian's inspiration for the name also came from the Fire Ash Snake's terrifying reproductive ability. In the skit of the previous life, there was a classic line: the egg-laying rooster is a fighter among roosters, oh yeah!
Father Yang Wen was immune to Yang Tian’s training speed, and he calmly sent the next magical creature, the Grindylow, to Yang Tian.
This magical creature, which hides in the water plants at the bottom of the lake, has a green body, green teeth, horns on its head, and very long fingers.
To be honest, Yang Tian was not very impressed by this bad-tempered and ugly creature at first.
If it weren't for the need for analysis, he would have probably thrown this ugly guy out of Foley Manor long ago.
It's okay that the Grindylow is ugly, but it's wrong for it to come out and scare people.
This guy seemed to be very disdainful and hostile to Yang Tian. He would often suddenly attack Yang Tian when he was observing him carefully or checking his body.
Although Yang Tian had many methods, his magic power was limited and Grindylow's actions were really weird, so he couldn't do anything to it for a while.
Fortunately, his mother Sophie taught him a spell called the Extraction Spell. As the saying goes, every thing has its own nemesis. Finally, Yang Tian was able to protect himself.
What’s even funnier is that after Yang Tian learned the spell, he practiced it diligently on Grindylow every day.
Over time, Grindylow actually obeyed his heart. He was so well-behaved and sensible to Yang Tian, as gentle as a puppy and as flattering as a clown, which really opened Yang Tian's eyes.
He suddenly felt that this Grindylow didn't seem so hateful, especially when he made faces to please him...
