Before reaching Hagrid's hut, Bai Lin saw a black shadow falling from the sky. Hagrid rushed to meet it and blocked it from Bai Lin. When Bai Lin saw it, it was the blue-white hippogriff. Winged beast (referred to as Hippogriff) Buckbeak.
Buckbeak rubbed his head against Hagrid's chest affectionately. Hagrid stroked its big head and said, "You must be very hungry. I will find fish for you later. I was just about to introduce you..."
Bai Lin said: "Let me introduce myself!" Bai Lin stepped forward and bowed lightly according to Xia Guo's fist-holding ceremony.
Buckbeak tilted his head, blinked, and bowed his head gracefully.
Hagrid was very surprised and said: "Mr. Xiaobai, you are so knowledgeable!" Bai Lin couldn't help but rolled his eyes. Isn't this the knowledge you want to teach the third grade children?
Buckbeak is a good friend of Hagrid, Harry and others, and even rescued Sirius. Although Bai Lin saw that it was a level 5 creature, he did not want to seal it.
Bai Lin took out a pack of snacks from the suitcase - a piece of salmon sushi, and fed it generously to Buckbeak. Hagrid was very happy that Bai Lin could make friends with Buckbeak, and Lian Sheng said that he would invite Bai Lin later. Eat the best ham in Cirrus.
Because he was Hagrid's assistant, Bai Lin did not choose to live in Hogwarts Castle, but planned to live in Hagrid's hut. However, as soon as he stepped into Hagrid's hut, he couldn't help but regret it.
Hagrid's hut has only one room, but it is very spacious, with hams and pheasants hanging from the ceiling. Although it was summer, there was still some warmth in the fireplace, and there was a copper kettle on it. There was a huge wooden table and wooden chairs placed in front of the fireplace. There was also a large bed in the corner of the room, with a quilt made of rags. Hagrid's winter moleskin coat and crossbow, some ingredients for making food, and things to be used in Care of Magical Creatures lessons were all piled up in the house.
It's not that it's shabby, but the smell of all kinds of strange food and materials filled the entire cabin - because Hagrid didn't have a refrigerator, it felt like it wasn't a good place to sleep.
Hagrid lit the fire, put the copper kettle on the holder and said, "Please sit down wherever you like, Mr. Bai, I'll let you try my tea right away..."
Bai Lin laughed and said, "Don't forget that I'm from the Xia Kingdom. Tea is something carved in my soul!" He took out a small iron box in his suitcase, which contained richly fragrant black tea. "Also, just call me Xiaobai. I still have many things to ask of you, Hagrid!"
Hagrid sat down on the large chair and said: "I will definitely help you. I haven't seen a wizard who is so friendly to magical animals like you for a long time. What is this called in the East?"
"Good friends, or we feel like friends at first sight. Mr. Hagrid, I hope we have a great time working together this year. Well, I urgently need some biological specimens for specimens, so I made a list~" Bai Lin said, taking out a book from his pocket. He folded a piece of paper and handed it to Hagrid.
When Hagrid heard the word "specimen", he became a little nervous. If Bai Lin wanted to harm centaurs, unicorns, or thestrals, he would definitely try his best to stop him.
"Um, twenty mandrakes...twenty mice...twenty green caterpillars...twenty polecats (Hagrid's favorite meat), that's it?" Hagrid was a little confused. , not because these creatures are difficult, but because they are too simple. These are the ingredients of many potions and can be easily bought in Diagon Alley.
Bai Lin smiled and said: "To be honest, I am imitating Master Newt (the protagonist of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them) and am building a new magical creature habitat. The work has just begun and some basic creatures are needed to carry out habitat experiments. "
Hagrid was obviously interested and said: "Has the Ministry of Magic finally taken action? I really..." Hagrid choked up a little as he spoke.
Bai Lin: "..." You are so big, but you are so emotional.
Bai Lin quickly took out 20 Galleons, stuffed it into Hagrid's hand and said, "This is the starting capital for the research. As the research progresses, the remaining funds will be very generous." Hagrid's income at Hogwarts was very low, so he just Even his favorite mead was exchanged for his prey at the bar in Hogsmeade. These 20 galleons could be exchanged for two months of his drinking money.
Hagrid patted his chest and agreed, and Bai Lin stayed in Hagrid's hut. Early the next morning, before dawn, Hagrid went out happily and brought back two large cages at noon. The mice and the green caterpillar Flo.
Bai Lin didn't have so much magic power to make them faint one by one. Instead, he asked Hagrid to catch the small animals one by one and seal them directly. Bai Lin also figured out the rules of the seal. As long as the target magical creature loses its resistance, it can Directly included in the illustrated book.
In the blink of an eye, the illustrations of the mouse and Flo's green caterpillar lit up, and the display on the back of the illustration changed to [Total illustration completion score: 10, illustration magic bonus: 1, summoned beast: 0, magical creature affinity: +2]
His attributes were also adjusted to: [Bai Lin: Strength 13, Magic 15 (+1) (Evaluation: A Muggle who can do a few tricks)] Sure enough, the magic added by the illustration was directly added to Bai Lin's attributes.
In the afternoon, Hagrid kept up his efforts and got another 20 polecats and 20 mandrakes. However, Hagrid was quite reluctant to hand over the polecats. Bai Lin stuffed him with another 5 galleons, and Hagrid beamed with joy.
As for the mandrake, Hagrid wore big earplugs and put the mandrake into a large dark cloth bag. It was more difficult to handle because the silent spell had a very weak effect on the mandrake. If twenty mandrakes were Dracao screamed at the same time, maybe even the fire dragon couldn't bear it.
Bai Lin was well prepared. He first plugged his ears tightly, put on earmuffs for winter, and then used all his magic power to cast a "Mafulia Toru! (Close the earplugs to listen)" on himself and Hagrid. Finally, I couldn't hear anything at all.
According to Bai Lin's sign language, Hagrid grabbed the mandrakes out of the bag one by one. Bai Lin sealed them one by one. After working for half an hour, he finally solved the prey. His magic power became 15 (+2), and the illustrated book was restored. A summoned beast was added: Mandela Scream (level 1), Bai Lin said that his work was not in vain.
At night, Hogwarts can be called the dazzling starry sky. A bright and soft moon is bright and beautiful - this is a rare sight even in the wilderness in later generations. Bai Lin glanced at Hai Hai, who had been sleeping soundly after a busy day. He took out a one-handed long sword and an animal trap from Hagrid's weapon box, sneaked out of Hagrid's hut, and headed toward the Forbidden Forest alone.
Tonight is the night of the full moon, and the werewolves deep in the Forbidden Forest will come out to hunt restlessly, and Bai Lin is going to hunt a werewolf.
[Werewolf: A level 3-7 creature. The powerful werewolf can tear apart male lions and brown bears. It is bloody and violent and extremely dangerous. ]
Although it is very scary, throughout the Harry Potter novels, there are werewolves in the Forbidden Forest just around the corner, but I have never heard of werewolves in the Forbidden Forest hurting people. Hagrid even took his children to the Forbidden Forest. Lin took the class, and it was obvious that the werewolves in the Forbidden Forest were only low-level species around level 3, which was a relatively safe category.
There are not many low-level creatures in the Forbidden Forest. Bai Lin is pressed for time. If he increases his magic power bit by bit, he may not be able to reach the level of an ordinary wizard by the time school starts, so he decides to give it a try and turn his bicycle into a motorcycle!
