"Crack!"
The Scottish Highlands once again showed her fickle face. When Aini walked into the castle just now, the sun was still shining brightly, but now the clouds were rolling in, swaying her body wantonly.
Peter forced himself to say Sirius's name playfully, trying his best to hide the uneasiness in his heart.
Courage comes from fear. The fire coming from behind can always easily make people ignore the "small" gap of several meters between the window and the ground.
When the master who once enslaved him turned into a poisonous snake parasitic on his chest, Peter thought he would become brave when facing Sirius, but the newspaper falling in the thunder gave him a glimpse of the trembling in his heart.
The thunder exploded, and the rats, rabbits and insects shrank their necks timidly, and couldn't help but squeeze deeper into the nest. The somewhat stuffy green plants swayed their branches happily, allowing the sudden heavy rain to wash away the dirt on the leaves. The dust takes away the staleness between the dry bark.
The sky-like curtain of rain swept across the earth, seeming to wash away the world.
At this moment, I don’t know how many people are hiding in dry houses, how many people are opening umbrellas to hold up a small space, and how many people are putting on raincoats to temporarily isolate themselves.
They come and go in an instant, and the scattered water droplets gather in groups and run into the distance. They take away the filth in the forest, but they cannot cleanse the hearts of those who resist.
But maybe the house will make you bear a heavy loan, the umbrella will attract thunder that falls nearby, and the raincoat will sometimes restrain the outstretched hands and feet.
The same thing is a warm shelter for those who pursue stability, but it is an evil shell that resists justice for those who have evil thoughts.
And one day they will discover that the protection formed by terror, cruelty, cunning, viciousness, betrayal, etc. is not so reliable. Even a sudden harmless thunder can temporarily break through the inner defenses of the sinister person.
"The thunder was so loud that it almost scared my arm off."
Seeing Peter awkwardly picking up the fallen newspaper, Kettleburn waved his prosthetic hand to ease his embarrassment.
Although the previous Principal Dippet was quite dissatisfied with Kettleburn's recklessness, it was his kindness and straightforwardness that did not change with time that made him recognized by more people and animals, even if accidents occurred frequently , the appearance is scary, and the little wizards still like this somewhat childish old professor.
Not all good intentions will be well responded to. Peter, who lowered his head to pick up the newspaper, had a fierce look in his eyes. It was obvious that the old professor's actions were regarded as a different kind of ridicule by him.
But the warmth released by kindness can sometimes cultivate surprising flowers.
"Schiller, are you interested in coming to Breath of Nature to help me? Capet placed the salamanders at the Lake Lucerne base in Switzerland, and the researchers there discovered something unusual."
Ani left Peter aside and continued talking to the old professor.
Kettleburn kept a "large group" of salamanders as pets, but it was difficult to find a suitable place to take care of them after retirement, so he packed up the little things and entrusted them to Aini.
Perhaps the most talked-about characteristic of salamanders is their ability to live forever under certain conditions.
As long as the flame from which they were born is still burning, even if the salamander dies in the outside world, it won't take long for it to be resurrected in the flames.
Sounds a bit like a phoenix, right?
There are more similarities between them. For example, the flesh and blood of the salamander is the same as the tears of the phoenix. They are both excellent healing products. Both of them also have the ability to be immune to fire damage and have the ability to affect space.
In fact, there have been many related topics. If the shapes between the two were not so different, I am afraid that researchers would have drawn some outrageous conclusions.
But the truth is often more bizarre than people imagine.
The current mainstream view in the wizarding world is that salamanders are some kind of derivative of the phoenix. For example, they are affected by the nirvana of the phoenix and have swallowed the flesh and blood of the phoenix. There is also a more fantasy belief that the ancestors of the salamanders have some kind of relationship with the phoenix. An indescribable relationship...
The problem is that the last far-fetched guess is actually the closest to the truth. There is indeed some kind of blood connection between the two.
And it’s really about reproduction.
Is the phoenix a flesh-and-blood creature or an elemental creature? The differences between the two concepts have existed since ancient times.
After all, the birth of the Phoenix was far earlier than human history, and wizards did not have any relevant records.
But just because humans don’t have it, it doesn’t mean Ani can’t see it.
Fox's bloodline contains the image of the birth of the original phoenix, which was an indescribable ball of magic fire. When the first phoenix cry sounded, the flames scattered and shattered, and the graceful big bird spread its wings and soared in the red world.
The salamander comes from the magic fire that gave birth to the phoenix and then scattered.
In other words, the flames that the salamanders jump out of are their true bodies, and the flesh and blood that people think of are just the incarnation of high-energy polymers full of life.
It is precisely because of the same source of life that the salamander's blood has the same therapeutic effect as the phoenix's tears.
Therefore, the "large group" of pets entrusted to Aini by Professor Kettleburn are actually just a group of magic fire with a deeper foundation and huge energy.
After seeing that thing, Fox shared part of the inherited memory with Aini, prompting him to ask Capet to establish a special research institute next to the only large-scale magic node occupied by Breath of Nature in Europe.
It was an out-and-out gold hog. In just two months, it not only swallowed up a lot of galleons, but also squeezed out the magic rations of many other departments.
The source body of that ball of salamanders lives entirely on magic power, especially the one Kettleburn found from the Sahara. If you let go of its belly, it can even suck small magic nodes dry.
However, when the absolute controller of the group believed that it was worthwhile, under the control of Cappe, the research institute located at the bottom of Lake Lucerne became surprisingly efficient.
In less than 70 days, they produced a preliminary results report.
There is no vacation at this juncture, but Aini will definitely not be stingy in terms of remuneration and bonuses. Of course, this is inseparable from Fox's assists, but overall, it is indeed an out-and-out surprise.
The little phoenix gave the big guy who had the same origin as it a ray of Nirvana fire, and a wonderful change took place between the two.
After that, the flesh-and-blood substance fabricated by the demonic fire not only further enhanced the therapeutic effect, but also had the property of purifying alien energy.
If the results can be produced, it will be a huge boon to those who have been harmed by powerful magical energy, including black magic. Once announced, it will surely cause a sensation in the entire magical world.
There is a good example right in front of us. After learning about the findings of the Beeryburn Institute, Kettleburn excitedly waved his arms and his two prosthetic legs clicked on the ground.
It was the strong magical damage that prevented him from recovering his limbs. As long as the alien magic power near the wound was purified, Kettleburn could get rid of the nickname "One and a Half".
Giving the salamander to Aini was entirely out of kindness and responsibility, but unexpectedly, it yielded unexpected rewards.
Maybe even if your kindness is not recognized by others, the world will give you the tenderness you deserve.
