"Hey, you asked the right person."
When Hagrid heard this, his black beetle-like eyes shone brightly. As long as there was knowledge about magical creatures, there was nothing he didn't know.
"I've been trying this recently."
Hagrid deliberately lowered his voice, but to him, even if he lowered his voice, it was as loud as a tweeter.
"I'll tell you secretly that I found a manticore in the forest north of the Forbidden Forest."
Hagrid said with a mysterious look on his face.
The manticore is a creature with the head of a human, the body of a lion and the tail of a scorpion. Its tail end has deadly venomous stings like a scorpion. These stingers can be launched in any direction. If a person is stung by it, he will die immediately.
The fur on the manticore repels almost all known spells. Although it is not as big as the Millennium Basilisk, it still belongs to the ranks of large beasts. In the wizarding world, people classify him and the Chimera as extremely dangerous creatures, of course. Rare.
By the way, the Manticore is also a magical creature that likes to eat humans, just like the Acromantula.
"That little guy seems to have been separated from his parents. A beast stayed in that forest. Thanks to meeting me. Now we are friends. It's a pity that there is no second Manticore in the Forbidden Forest. Fortunately, I have A mate has been found for it.”
Hagrid didn't say exactly how he met the manticore, but it probably wasn't a pleasant thing for the manticore.
"Little guy?" Hear Hagrid's description.
The image of a manticore with a manticore and a manticore automatically appeared in Dudley's mind.
Tall and fierce.
It has absolutely nothing to do with Xiao anyway.
"What are you looking for for him?"
Dudley looked strange.
"A group of female fire crabs!" Hagrid said excitedly: "I think they are very suitable."
Hagrid definitely didn't follow the other party's (Manticore's) opinion in this search.
The manticore cannot be regarded as a simple beast. Like Aragog and the Sphinx, it possesses wisdom no less than that of humans. On the other hand, the fire crab is really not a magical creature with little intelligence, and it is also an aquatic type.
Fire crabs are to manticores what king crabs are to humans.
If you want something to happen between the human and the king crab, there must be a place to go.
However, according to the original timeline, Hagrid successfully cultivated a new species of manticores and fire crabs-blast-tailed snails, a new type of magical creature that is useless but quite dangerous.
It is common sense that there is reproductive isolation between species, and the isolation between magical animals and magical animals is even more obvious.
Being able to cross two completely incompatible magical creatures and successfully breed a new species, Hagrid is definitely a breeding genius.
Maybe he really has a way.
So Dudley stated his request.
"I want to breed a batch of carnivorous slugs in their shells."
There are no magical snails or magical snails in the wizarding world. The only magical creatures that can be considered relatives of snails are these carnivorous slugs.
In Dudley's mind, the only snail that can be related to magic is the light snail of the protagonist group in "The Lightbringer".
It's a pity that Dudley can't get it at the moment.
But he is not good at breeding magical animals. He only has the skill of domestication and has not acquired the skill of breeding. It would be best if Hagrid could do it.
"A carnivorous slug in a shell?"
Hagrid thought for a while, then patted his chest and promised, "I don't know why you want that kind of thing, but leave it to me."
He seems to have figured it out.
"So...how long will it take?"
Dudley asked the question that concerned him most.
He can wait for half a year, and one year is not a big problem, but if it takes more than three years, it will be more troublesome.
"Carnivorous slugs are basically in a state of reproduction anytime and anywhere, which is much more convenient than manticores."
"It will take about a month or two."
One or two months, this time is beyond Dudley's expectation, much faster than expected, it can definitely wait.
"Then it's up to you, Hagrid."
"Hehehehe" Hagrid giggled a few times, seeming very happy that he could help.
The matter of cultivating magical snails was temporarily left to Hagrid, and Dudley once again came to the Slytherin Chamber deeper in the basement.
After using the lighting technique to create a small sun in the middle of the secret room, he looked around for something.
According to Basilisk, Slytherin not only placed his knowledge in the Chamber of Secrets, but also placed his authority over Hogwarts in the Chamber of Secrets.
It’s just that you need to pass the trial first.
Dudley still really wanted to get permission to Hogwarts.
Unfortunately, even with the help of the Data Magic Eye, nothing was found.
This is not his first time here.
Since the basilisk crisis was over, it has been coming almost every day.
After repeated confirmations to no avail, Dudley went to the library and spent some time with Hermione. After nightfall, he finished his daily exercise and returned to his bedroom.
Dudley sat down on the table as the light of the formation flashed on the door.
Place two blue stones of different sizes in a row.
magic crystal
Because it takes some time to make the red and white balls, the volume of one is much smaller than the other.
There were originally three pieces, but one piece was made into a ring by Dudley and given to Hermione.
Dudley then took out a ball of silver metal and an emerald.
These are the materials obtained by breaking down Ravenclaw's diadem.
Mithril and gems that contain certain magical powers.
This was far from over, Dudley took out another object.
A wand that has been barely used since taking it from Ollivander, just for show.
Iron birch, Thestral tail feathers, nine inches.
Dudley still remembered the excitement when he first got it.
It's a pity that I couldn't use it to release half of the magic.
The wand looked shiny, without any damage, and it was obviously very well maintained.
Dudley put the wand and the materials together.
He wanted to try to modify his wand.
With the ability to transform magic equipment, it may not be impossible to create a magic prop that automatically casts spells, just like the red and white balls.
Of course, by the way, Dudley also took out the third Philosopher's Stone.
This Philosopher's Stone has not been processed and retains its original ruby-like appearance.
When he took out the third Philosopher's Stone, the ring accidentally touched it.
In an instant, the three Philosopher's Stones simultaneously emitted a faint red light.
Not waiting for Dudley to react.
He suddenly felt in a trance, and a vague voice sounded in his ears.
Gradually, gradually.
He seemed to see an antique and huge door slowly emerging in front of him.
