June 27, Sunday, a little more than half a month after the holiday.
This was a day that Ted and the others had agreed upon to go shopping, buy wands with Neville and Ron.
Hermione arrived very early, practically urging her father to drive her right after breakfast.
Not using magic for more than half a month was killing her.
Mr. Granger had to drive her to the Leaky Cauldron.
Ansu flew back early and told Ted to wait at the door.
Ted received the father and daughter, and of course he couldn't just let Mr. Granger go.
That was Hermione's dad, not the driver.
Ted invited Mr. Granger to sit at the Leaky Cauldron. Because they were driving, the three of them ordered non-alcoholic butterbeer.
Ted also took out a gift and asked Mr. Granger to take it back and give it to Hermione and her mother to taste.
Two days ago was the Dragon Boat Festival. Ted completed a small task and was rewarded with a one-time cooking recipe card - Zongzi with Mint Filling.
There is a popular mince pie dessert in the UK, which is a combination of Chinese and Western.
This heretical rice dumpling tastes quite good and has special effects. After eating it, it can relieve negative emotions and keep people happy and mentally healthy.
Mr. Granger tasted one, untied the rope and opened the bamboo leaves, took a small taste of the aroma of glutinous rice and brown sugar, and also bit into the fruit filling.
This mint filling has a wide range, from apple, duck and pear to tomato and mango, you can mix and match it freely. In other words, each taste may be different, which is quite surprising!
He ate one and said he was so impressed: "Oh, Ted! Your rice dumplings are so good! Even if I am a dentist, I can't refuse this! No, I have to recommend it to my clients!" "
Then he asked where he bought it?
Ted told him how to do it and asked him to promote it to his customers so that his dental business could be better~
Because of Ted's hospitality and small gifts, Mr. Granger left happily this time, without the sense of loss of being rejected by his daughter.
Mr. Granger: Ted is such a good boy~
As soon as her father left, Hermione hurriedly pulled Ted and ran to the basement - to cast magic~
This period of time really suffocated her.
As a wizard, she can no longer leave magic. She has to resist the urge to pick up the wand every day during the holidays, and even lock the wand to prevent herself from making mistakes accidentally.
Now I can finally have fun.
Moreover, she also wanted to see what Ted was doing during this time.
She had heard that Ted had reached an agreement with Neville, Harry, and Ron's family to build a salted fish home together. But in the letter, Ted said that he had been collecting materials to hatch an egg.
"Where is it? The egg you want to hatch!" Hermione glanced at the basement. It was surrounded by shelves and bookshelves. There were desks and experimental benches on both sides of the middle. There was a fire under the automatic stirring crucible.
Ted pretended to take it out of the space-extending packet—actually using the card.
A dark red giant egg smaller than a football, with strange ridges and patterns on its surface!
That's right, the egg of Rhea, the red dragon of Azeroth!
Hermione is not the kind of wizard who is very sensitive to magic. She is the type who is meticulous and good at controlling magic, but she can still feel the magic fluctuations revealed in this huge egg.
A very strange feeling!
"This...where did this thing come from?" She felt it was not simple.
Sure enough, the egg Ted wanted to hatch couldn't be an ordinary thing!
"I got it by accident. I think it might be a very high-level magical animal?" Ted didn't intend to go into details about the origin of the red dragon egg. After all, a lie must be justified by countless lies.
The world has changed so much now. Is it any wonder that I picked up a dragon egg from another world?
I stepped on countless dragon eggs on the upper level of Blackrock Tower!
My friends in the guild call me the Harmony High Speed Rail King! It’s several times more advanced than Leeroy! Because I drove my rocket boots to step on eggs~
Also, in maps such as Dustwallow Swamp, I killed dragonlings and draconians, skinning them for who knows how many. He even exploded the baby black dragon!
Hermione did not pursue the origin of the egg, but asked in a low voice: "How do you plan to hatch it? By the way, what exactly is this? Have you found out?"
Ted leaned close to the girl's ear and whispered: "It's a dragon egg!"
"Ah! Dragon egg?!" Hermione's eyes widened, "What dragon?"
She looked around, already beginning to worry about how much longer the bar's basement would last.
She had not forgotten the Norwegian Ridgeback that Hagrid had raised in the first grade, and the house was about to be demolished in less than a month.
That's something even Hagrid can't do anything about!
Erha is just demolishing the house, there is always a new decoration plan. This fire dragon can directly demolish the load-bearing wall! A family fortune of several hundred million is not enough to compensate!
Ted continued in a low voice: "It's not an ordinary fire dragon..."
Hermione felt a little itchy in her ears and turned her head to the side with a red face. Just listen to Ted say: "I suspect this is a dragon egg from another world."
"...Other world? What other world?" Hermione didn't react for a while.
In fact, this is also the mentality of most people.
Obviously huge changes have taken place, but because they have not had a huge impact on the lives they are accustomed to, many people are not aware of the turbulent waves under the calm water. Or turn a blind eye!
Everyone is trapped in the little world in front of them, dealing with daily tasks and things every day, and accepting changes in the world slowly and passively.
For example, a war broke out between two distant countries. Ordinary people were surprised but didn't think much about it.
But after a month or two, prices began to rise, the economy went down, the international situation changed, and the news began to be biased. At this time, most people really felt the impact of the war and realized that the war had begun.
Just like the members of the Department of Management of Demihumans and Humanoid Creatures in the Ministry of Magic, their daily job is to deal with demihuman related matters.
Obviously, the work content is all these visitors from other worlds, but because the large-scale alien races appeared ten years ago, many people have no experience with this phenomenon of stars meeting and alien invasions.
New herbs from other worlds, new magical creatures from other worlds, new magical items from other worlds... all of these are like boiling frogs in warm water, appearing without the vast majority of wizards feeling anything.
That one more dragon egg from another world makes sense.
What? Do you want to take away the research?
First ask me if the principal agrees? What does it mean to ask my classmate’s family again? Look at my young dragon from another world who recognizes his master. Does it agree?
Hermione was still holding the red dragon egg in a daze, while Ted had already started sorting out the materials.
If you want to hatch this dragon egg, the conditions are not simple.
Of the forty kinds of materials, Ted collected six kinds last year, all of which were commercially available and rare but useless materials, and he didn't spend much money.
In the first two weeks of this year, six more species were collected through Xianyu.com and personal connections.
The materials this time are relatively expensive, with six materials costing less than 80 Galleons.
There are still ten kinds of materials available on the market, but it will take some time. Ted has asked Sirius to help organize them.
Because many material channels in the magic world are in the hands of pure-blood families, most people who want to buy them cannot get them immediately even if they spend money.
If you follow the market price for the remaining ten types, they might cost 2,000 Galleons!
Fortunately, that is the market price, and the internal price can be obtained for less than 900 galleons - which is comparable to the price of a small shop.
These things are too dark, and the profits are too high, right? A stranger is cut in half, an acquaintance is a grand slam!
Use high prices to completely control the high-end material market in the magic world. This is a monopoly with changing laws!
If it weren't for the new changes brought about by the intersection of the stars and more unknown materials entering the world, the magical world might still look like this in a few decades!
The remaining eighteen materials are rare items.
Some of them only have names, and I don’t know which family owns them. Some of them just know that there is such a thing, but it has not been circulated on the market for at least ten years. Some of them are only mentioned in the stories. They are rare objects from decades or hundreds of years ago, and are materials that have been eliminated by the modern magic system.
There are also a few that I have never heard of at all. Ted estimates that they are not something that exists in this world, and he will have to find a way to replace them.
Ted packed up materials such as Terra's magic silver mine, high-strength magic creature fossils, Celestial Fireball Dragon's blood, ancient dragon's eyeball fossils, dragon's blood orchid, and dragon's blood tree roots.
I may have to go to Jerry's house in the next few days, so I won't worry if I don't take these materials with me.
Don't just have fun over there, someone will take over your hometown! Take it with you, you must take all your wealth with you.
