Chapter 580 "A Thousand Feet and Mouth" And "Desert Sapphire"

Ron finally got a new pet, a dragon-like lizard that was only the size of a palm and looked like a pocket version of a dragon.

According to George and Fred, this lizard has extremely precious bloodlines.

This is the offspring of the family's full-fledged pepper chicken, which was crossed with a rooster from the wizarding world, and it was crossed with Fat Ball.

Yes, George and Fred did something wicked to Fatball.

It's amazing, the pepper chicken originally had long colored hair, and the fat ball also had pink fluff, but the hybrid has no hair at all.

Instead, it is covered with scales that resemble fire dragons.

They even wrote a number of papers about this 'pygmy charmander' based on this hybrid and published it in the Hogwarts Weekly Newsletter.

So, this is still a famous lizard.

Anton looked at the back of Ron with a strange face, excitedly holding the lizard, happily talking to Harry and Hermione, and turned to look at George, "I remember I said that the fat ball is because of the body. There is a lock, and its descendants are almost unlikely to have its blood inheritance, and the lizard in Ron's hand is actually a variant of pepper chicken."

"No, no, no!" Fred shook his head, "Although we like to tease this little brother, it's just really precious. It's rare that he inherited some of Fat Ball's blood, although we still don't know exactly what it is. What is it?"

George shrugged, "Hagrid saw it for us and said it was 'unbelievable', we believed Hagrid's vision, and he said that this lizard might change at the age of 3, like It's the same as the magic riot of the little wizard."

"Fine."

Anton did not intend to comment further.

He immersed himself in the study of "magic props" again, this time he finally did not choose a dangerous book, and found a book called "Zorin's Flower Crown".

Mrs. Pince expressed her relief and recommended him to read "Letters from the Lame Owl", saying that a professor said that the two books were very related.

Different from the previous books, "Take apart the dragon's chest and count how many ribs there are" tells about using the vitality of magical animals to bring magical changes to magic props.

This "Zorin's Corolla" is about the magic of "will".

This is the field Anton is most familiar with.

The content of the book is that the author tells the story of his sojourn to a tribe and the observation of tribal witches.

This tribe does not have the inheritance of wizards, or there was originally, but during a migration to avoid war, the wizards in the tribe died of illness, and the silly servants buried all the manuscripts of the master’s favorite books in the grave to accompany them.

The silly servant was probably trying to protect his master's grave from being disturbed, or was really stupid enough to forget that the tribe didn't have any knowledge of wizards anymore anyway.

In that era when there was no magic school, Zorin, a new generation of awakened witches in the tribe, had to figure out how to use magic power by herself.

What makes the author of the book interesting is that Zorin thought that before the magic riot, the omnipotent state of magic power was correct. After the magic riot, the magic power in her body could not be used so easily, so she called the magic riot 'Magic curing disease'.

Since it is a disease, it must be cured. Zorin has been studying for a long time, and with the help of the tribe, she finally found a magical plant called 'Flush Snake Vine', which was wound into a garland and worn on her head, which can Let her return to the omnipotent existence before the magic riot.

"!!!"

Anton's eyes widened, and he turned the pages of the book again. After making sure that it was written by a famous wizard in history, he turned back to the page just now.

According to the appearance of the magical plant drawn on the picture, Anton was very sure that it was a black magic creature with 'a thousand feet and a mouth'. It is a snake that looks like a vine, and the fluff on its body is its feet. It will pierce its feet into the wizard's skin, and each foot is like a mouth, constantly pouring out various thoughts to the wizard.

It only takes three nights for this thing to drive people crazy.

"Tsk~"

"It's lucky that Zorin didn't die."

This is also the content introduced in detail in the book. Zorin has an extremely tenacious will, which allows her to enter a state that is similar to silence, but different from silence.

The biggest problem is the 'Thousand Feet and Mouth' corolla, which she dubs 'the whispering little bestie' and the 'wicked artifact' that descendants of the tribe's wizards call it.

After a long struggle with the violent magic in her body, this flower crown was unconsciously made into a magic prop by Zorin.

It can disrupt the orderly magic power in the wizard's body, and let the magic power in the body return to the interesting state of chaos and disorder in childhood.

The effect is simply terrifying.

You must know that when little wizards have no magic power riots, their abilities of mind control, short-term flight, and making objects disappear are infinitely close to some mature magic spells.

Um……

It can only be said that it is of great research value, that's all. After all, after becoming a wizard and holding a magic wand, although you need to learn magic, the magic effect you can master is doubled.

The author of the book pondered in detail the principle of the formation of this corolla, and finally extracted the most critical factor in making this magic item—the wizard's will.

The second half is almost all about the theoretical and practical records of how the author restored the corolla by means of "magic props".

As for the "Letter from the Lame Owl" recommended by Mrs. Pince, it really explains the principle of the wizard's will in the production of magic props from a more in-depth and systematic perspective. " was a great inspiration.

Anton was fascinated by it.

He even had an interesting idea - the principle described here seems to be able to be incorporated into the "magic animal" Animagus collapsed to bring the animal blood to the wizard, and the wizard's blood to pry the Muggle Squib to bring magic. ’ In this theory.

...

"A thousand feet and a mouth?" Lupine was quickly flipping through the documents on his desk, and looked up at Anton suspiciously. "This is not an ordinary black magic creature."

Anton shrugged helplessly, "I searched for a long time in the school library, and only saw the introduction of this kind of black magic creature in some professional books, but it was only a few similar sentences, it seems that there are very few A wizard would touch a creature like this."

Lupine shook his head, looked down at the document in his hand quickly, signed it and put it aside, and then walked out from behind the desk.

"In the occult, this creature is the pet of the debauched god."

Anton wrinkled his face, "What kind of god is it?"

This is a completely different academic system from the magic he learned.

Lupine sat on the desk, put his hands on the table, and looked at Anton with a smile, "Dark magic biological defense and occult science are inseparable. We like to use the name of gods to distinguish the fate of dark magic creatures." , which can effectively help us distinguish some new species that have not been seen before, and quickly judge what they will be like."

"The God of Debauchery likes to walk in the cracks in the floor tiles of the harbor tavern. She often feels a thousand feet walking through it with different breaths. She often hears different human beings telling various stories for various purposes. discourse."

"So she enchanted a downy vine, turning it into a snake, to punish sailors or pirates who came ashore for pleasure she didn't like."

"This vine snake will become transparent in the water, and when the sailor falls into the water, it will plunge a thousand of its feet into the sailor's body, allowing the other party to hear the whispers of a thousand mouths."

Anton raised his eyebrows, "It sounds scary."

"Normally they are harmless." Lupine pointed out. "They will only speak with their mouths when the parasitic humans are completely submerged in water. Under normal circumstances, they will keep quiet."

"Humans will instinctively defend against deep fears. Before immersing in the water, if there are 'a thousand feet and mouths' parasitic on the body, human beings will instinctively resist immersing themselves in the water."

"There are some records that some Muggles were forced into the bathtub and almost drowned. When they recalled their near-death experience afterwards, they said that they heard countless voices because they had 'a thousand feet and mouths' parasitized on their bodies."

Anton rubbed his chin thoughtfully, "So the best place to look is the harbor, and the way to deal with this creature is to dry it?"

"bingo!"

Lupine walked to the shelf in the corner of the office, which was stuffed with various cages or fish tanks, and now kept a 'Red Cap', a 'Kaba' (water monkey), a Boggart, a Grindylow (water monster with green skin and sharp horns)...

He walked to a fish tank in the farthest corner. There was no water in the fish tank and it was full of yellow sand. Lupine reached out and fumbled inside for a moment, and pulled out a transparent blue frog the size of a glass marble.

Anton took it from Lupin's hand, and found that it was a bit like the weight of a stone, and it felt a little cold and warm to the touch.

However, after a while, he felt that his entire hand became a little dry.

Lupine found a small glass jar, filled it with some sand, and handed it over to Anton to place this weird pocket frog, "Desert sapphire, its name, it will constantly absorb the surrounding water, making everything dry, ancient times African shamans like to put the 'desert sapphire' in the mouth of the corpse, which can keep the corpse from decaying for thousands of years."

"Of course, some tribes also regard it as a life-saving fetish. As long as you squeeze it hard, it will spit out all the water it absorbs, and it can hold several swimming pools at most."

"You just need to open the lid of the glass jar and get close to the parasitic humans with 'a thousand feet and mouth', and you can see a vine falling from their body. This is the easiest way to catch them."

Anton looked in amazement at the little blue frog that quickly burrowed deep into the sand in the glass jar, "It looks amazing."

Lupine smiled slightly, "I'm glad you have some interest in the field of black magic creatures. You can ask me anytime if you have any questions. Remember, you can't throw this desert sapphire into the sea. Excessive water will burst it , leading to death."

"By the way, what does this thing like to eat?"

"'A Thousand Feet and Mouth' likes to devour the will of human beings, making human beings gradually become fragile, sensitive and suspicious. 'Desert Sapphire' likes to devour the water in human beings, and it will make human beings easy to dry mouth. If Without these foods, they would all fall into a state similar to hibernation and live an extremely long life."
