Before dawn, Stephen woke Ace up.

Ace washed his face and brushed his teeth before being dragged away by Stephen, "Okay, okay, I'm still going to sleep when I get back, so there's no need to change clothes."

Wearing a long cotton and linen nightgown, Ace followed Ace around to the back of the ancient locust tree, where there was a row of wooden ladders inserted into the trunk, curving and spreading to the top of the tree.

"Follow me, Ace, and be careful."

Stephen took Ace to climb up. The wooden ladder disappeared when it reached the thick branches, and everything he saw was emerald green.The two of them climbed up carefully, stepping on the intertwined branches. The branches became thinner as they went up, Ace carefully.

"wingardium levosa!" Stephen cast a floating spell on his and Ace's shoes. Ace instantly felt that even if he stepped on the branch very hard, it would not break.

"I didn't expect that the levitation spell could be used like this!"

"Learned from my dad, he always has a lot of weird ideas. Here we are!"

The two of them brushed aside the dense branches and leaves above their heads and emerged from the tree canopy. Stephen pointed in the direction of the sea, "Look, the sun will come out later. I heard Uncle Fielding say that you have never seen the sea, so I brought you to see it." "

"Thank you, Stephen."

As he spoke, the sky turned white, and a trace of golden red came out from where the sea and the sky met, gradually dyeing the entire sky in the east. A golden-red sun slowly rose from the sea level, and the sky gradually turned from blue-black. Turns to pure blue.

Watching the sun gradually rise, and the sky showed magnificent colors, Ace exclaimed: "I have never seen the sun rise from the horizon."

Stephen stretched, "I often see it in Ilfamoni. It is built on the coast."

After watching a sunrise scene, Ace felt completely sleepless. After changing his clothes, he and Stephen went to the "zoo"—that's what he called the place behind his living room.

"Actually, most animals don't need us to feed them separately. It's already a relatively complete ecosystem. Only some special animals need us to feed them separately." Stephen explained to Ace while stirring the food in the barrel.

Ace picked up another bucket of food, opened the wooden door and walked in with Stephen.A flash of green quickly jumped up and landed on Ace. It was a little pig - Ace and Stephen named it because it was so sleepy.

"Oh, little one, I don't have time to hug you now." Ace was helpless as he looked at the rabbit with a flower hat clinging to him.

"It seems that it likes you very much. Generally speaking, the rabbit will only smell the person who steps on its feces and then leave. They think it is a mark." Stephen took the barrel from Ace's hand and relaxed Lift it up.

The two stopped outside a stone cave, and Stephen poured a bucket of possum mixed with an unknown paste into a groove at the entrance of the stone cave.

"Hiss..."

Not long after, a thick golden-yellow snake with black spots came out of the hole, spitting out a message. Stephen stepped forward and stroked its huge raised head.Ace comforted the trembling piglet in his arms.

"Good morning, Jin Jin." Stephen patted its head and let it go to eat. He turned to look at Ace, "This is Jin Jin, a long-horned water snake. I picked it up when I was traveling with my father when I was a child. "

Ace watched Jin Jin swallow a bucket of possum in one gulp, then looked at him with its golden vertical pupils, and took a step back nervously.

"Don't worry, Jin Jin won't eat people, right? Jin Jin?"

The huge snake head shook up and down, and Ace was extremely surprised, "Can it understand what we are talking to?"

"Jin Jin has lived here since he was very young. We can all understand each other's simple words. What's wrong?"

Ace's eyes flashed with gold as he looked at one person and one snake. This trip was really the right one! "Can you teach me snake language, Stephen?"

"I have a book of snake language that I recorded, but it's very simple. You can come to Jinjin every morning." Stephen shrugged, saying that he could give the record to Ace, "You can also mix the medicine powder in and feed it Give it to her, Jin Jin has had some heatstroke recently."

Ace was very satisfied. He didn't expect that coming here would solve a big problem.

Watching Jin Jin go back, the two of them returned to the "transit room" and continued preparing food for other animals.After finding a bag and slinging it on his body, Ace put the little pig in it so that he could have his hands free to do things.

After cutting some grass and placing it at the entrance of the Moon-Child's cave, Ace could clearly see these cute little animals through the dim light, with their long necks, two small horns, and big round eyes.

On the way, Ace also saw a group of fire-breathing longhorn cattle drinking water by the river, causing a mist to rise from the river.

"I only knew that Mr. Newt raised these animals in a suitcase when he was young. The scale was very small at that time. I didn't expect that it would now form an ecosystem."

"This place wasn't that big when I was young. My father and mother built it together later. They even asked Mr. Nick Flamel for advice."

"The process must be very difficult."

"They were all disgraced during that time, but both father and mother were very happy."

The two chatted while walking. Ace was very interested in Mr. Newt's story. His life experience can be regarded as a legend.

When passing through the tropical zone, a group of small spiral bats lying on the ground were startled and flew up. Their wing membranes unfolded like a huge pink funnel, and their bodies hung underneath, spinning and flying into the distance.

"These guys are very timid." Stephen scattered some rice-like things on the ground, and then continued to go in with Ace.

After turning the corner, the terrain gradually rose, and Ace felt that he was walking up the mountain.After climbing over a rocky ridge, Ace and Stephen came to the cliff.

"Gray——!" Stephen shouted at the hippogriff hovering in the sky, and it quickly turned around and flew towards this side.

Helping Stephen drag out a sheep and place it in the place where Gray often grooms its feathers, Ace stepped back, but was still knocked back a step by the wind brought by Gray's landing.

Seeing Gray eating ferociously, Ace felt a little numb, but he bravely combed his hair after he finished eating.

Stephen looked at the girl in front of him and became evil-minded. When Ace stood behind Gray, he pushed her onto Gray.

“Ah—Stephen!!!”
