Azkaban: The Fifth House of Hogwarts

As an outgoing student at Hogwarts, Hagrid actually didn't know much about magic. He knew all the magic commonly used in daily life, and even mastered the transfiguration.

It's just that the effect is not very good. You can't expect a person who has only been able to secretly use a pink umbrella to use some small magic spells when no one is around in the past 50 years to perform well in his spellcasting ability.

He heard what Rollo just said in a daze, partly because Rollo spoke so quickly and urgently.

After being stunned for a while, Hagrid's mind slowly read what he had just heard.

"You mean..."

Hagrid pointed at the fire crab not far away that was locked in a fence and couldn't escape and said:

"Is it impossible for a manticore and a fire crab to produce offspring naturally?"

"Understood correctly!"

Rollo took Hagrid's hand and gave him a high five. At least Hagrid understood the current problem.

"Then what should we do now?"

The smile on Rollo's face froze when Hagrid asked him a question. He slowly sat back down and hummed in a disappointed voice: "I don't know either."

"If we could get to know the wizard who originally cultivated the Chimera, maybe we could have a good solution now."

"Hahaha." Hagrid smiled generously and patted Rollo on the shoulder, "Don't worry, there are always ways, but can you explain it in detail? Regarding what you just proposed... ...What is that?”

"I guess that in order to complete the hybridization between the Manticore and the Fire Crab, we need to learn from the Chimera, the method of cultivating and creating the first Chimera."

"What we need now is not the natural reproduction of mating, but how to combine the characteristics of the manticore and the fire crab to create a descendant of them."

"This is not a naturally occurring species. Of course it cannot appear through natural reproduction. Otherwise, will the world of magical creatures be in chaos soon?"

"Now I understand, that's how it is."

Suddenly enlightened, Hagrid clapped his hands. Only now did he realize the cause of the problem. Cross-species breeding is not about grabbing two random things and letting them have sex, and then they can successfully get offspring. Hagrid doesn't understand what reproduction is. Isolation, but he knew this was against the laws of nature.

"We need to break the rules right!"

Hagrid has a very high level of understanding, at least when it comes to magical creatures. His wisdom is not inferior to that of the human wizards who look down on his lineage.

"Then what do you think is the key to the emergence of Chimera?"

"Definitely magic or magic."

Rollo said categorically that if things that are impossible in nature are to become a reality, then the only breakthrough is magic.

Magic is a way of using magic power, but magic does not necessarily fully reveal and reveal all the wonders of magic power.

Potions also require the intervention of magic power. Magical disciplines such as stargazing, divination, alchemy, ancient magic texts, etc. all require the intervention of magic power. In these different disciplines, magic power will show different magical powers with different attributes.

"Otherwise, instead of trying to get a hybrid between a manticore and a fire crab, how about we try a chimera?"

Hagrid proposed a new research direction, and it sounded quite reliable.

"The dragon training farm will be built in the second half of the year. By then we will have dragons. Goats and lions will not be difficult. There is a ready-made Crusu Black Goat in the Forbidden Forest. It is the prototype of the Chimera Sheep Head. It has a unique Two pairs of curly goat horns are easily identifiable, and as for the lion..."

Hagrid stroked his beard and fell into thought, "I can't figure out the origin of the Chimera lion head yet. If I take a trip to Africa during the Christmas vacation... maybe I can find the prototype of the lion."

"Also, I have long wanted to see the great migration of the African grassland twice a year. It is a scene of hundreds of thousands and millions of magical creatures running around! It would be a shame not to see it once in this life."

"But December doesn't seem to be the season for migration..."

Thinking of this, Hagrid smiled helplessly.

"No need to change. Chimera is a three-in-one hybrid creature. We can't even do two-in-one. It's unwise to increase the difficulty rashly. Even if there is a ready reference, hundreds of thousands of years have passed and there is no Someone has made a second pure-blood chimera, right?"

"But manticores and fire crabs..." Hagrid hesitated, "We can't be sure whether they can give birth to babies, right? I mean, their chances are lower than Chimeras, right? "

"But who can be sure about magic? I believe in your choice, Hagrid, I believe in you."

Rollo stood up and patted Hagrid on the shoulder. He knew that there would be bomb-tailed snails in the future, and he was full of confidence in his current research.

"Since you insist so much, I believe you too!"

Hagrid smiled cheerfully. It was rare for him to be recognized by others. Since Rollo believed in him, Hagrid was naturally ready to try hard. He didn't care whether he succeeded or not. He was very happy to receive recognition and recognition. Happy.

"By the way, it's getting late now. Come to my house to have some food. Aren't you going to visit the centaurs tonight? I'll take you there and get some spices from them for the last barbecue. It’s over, I have to get some more, you all like it, right?”

Hagrid, who was always ready to leave, led the way. Not long after, they returned to Hagrid's hut. The sun was already setting in the west, and the fiery red clouds hung at the end of the sky. It was so beautiful.

The aromatic stewed meat soup was filled with juicy rock pancakes, and the refreshing cold dishes were freshly picked by Rollo from Hagrid's vegetable patch. Although this simple dinner was not as good as the food carefully prepared by the elves. It's exquisite, but the taste is not much different.

When the sun was about to sink into the horizon, Rollo took a quick shower and walked out of Hagrid's house, shaking his half-dried hair. After playing Frisbee with Yaya for a while, Hagrid also packed up the tableware and walked out of the door. .

He was holding a large bag of things in his hand and beckoned Rollo to go into the Forbidden Forest. If Bane was missing among the centaurs, Hagrid would still like to deal with centaurs.

"What's in here, Hagrid?"

Rollo pointed to the sack in Hagrid's hand and asked curiously.

"Salt, this is probably more than a month's consumption of the horse tribe. They often run in the forbidden forest, so they need to add a lot of salt. Although there is salt soil in the forbidden forest, compared to these refined refined salts, the horse people like No need to say which one.”

"Every once in a while, I will give the horse people some necessities that are not easy to get in the forest, and the horse people will also give me some things in exchange, including herbs for treating trauma and various magical spices. They are quite... Really, it’s just that this is limited to the centaurs in the Forbidden Forest, not necessarily the wild horses in other places.”

"How do you say this? Aren't centaurs highly intelligent magical creatures?"

"Just like there are many idiots among wizards, there are also several types of centaurs. The centaurs in the Forbidden Forest do not have many threats to them. They are protected by Hogwarts and their group number exceeds three hundred. This is already considered very large among the centaurs, and usually, the number of the centaurs does not exceed one hundred."

"The comfortable life makes them good characters, but the centaurs in other places are different. Most of them are very closed-minded, but there are also many who are very savage. They are like bandits among humans, plundering and living everywhere. Place."

"In the Forbidden Forest, wild horses from outside would invade from time to time. Those damn guys would always cause some trouble. About seven or eight years ago, a group of about thirty marauding tribesmen came. I killed a thestral and even planned to kidnap stray unicorn cubs, but in the end they were surrounded by our centaurs and I killed at least fifteen of them with a hunting bow."

"I originally wanted to feed them to the Thestrals, but those guys refused and complained that my arrow was too thick. Half of my body was blown to pieces in one go, and I couldn't even dig out my heart."

"You know, centaurs have two hearts, one in the chest and one here."

Hagrid gestured, referring to the part of the centaur's body that belongs to the horse, between the lower part of the human torso's waist and the point where it connects to the horse's body.

"What does it mean to have your heart ripped out?"

Rollo was a little surprised by Hagrid's description.

"It's probably a sacrifice or something weird. Maybe you can ask them in person, if they are willing to tell."

Hagrid shrugged, and then pushed aside the dense bush wall in front, revealing the empty and flat grass behind.

"We have arrived."

He stretched out his hand and saw the shadows of many wooden buildings in front of him. They had arrived at the outskirts of the centaur tribe.

(Let me tell you something here. Regarding the dual-opening and follow-up planning, if you think it is too long, you can just read the last two paragraphs.

To put it simply, double opening is a way of extending life when no one reads the book. The eunuch is not because of the double opening. The eunuch is simply because there is no money to make. To tell you the truth, based on the daily update of 600 words, every one hundred is subscribed. The manuscript fee is about [-], and the monthly subscription fee is not as good as signing a contract to guarantee it. Naturally, the author has no motivation to write more. The money is not even enough to live on. I don’t think I am a bad writer. I have also prepared this book. It took a long time, but there was nothing I could do if I couldn’t get up. This was reality.

Double opening is a forced choice. I know that double opening will distract my energy and lead to a decrease in updates. If I go all out, I can at least make more than [-] yuan a day and ensure that the quality does not drop. I can do it with [-] yuan or [-] yuan a day, but the prerequisite is Only when you can make money will you go crazy.

Everyone knows that they have to pay overtime when they go to work. It is very difficult to sit in front of the computer and write from [-] or [-] in the morning to [-] in the evening, except for lunch. There are no weekends or holidays.

The current plan is roughly like this. I will update 2-3 chapters every day, 6-8K. In the remaining time, I will prepare new books and think about the outline and beginning. I will save the manuscript of the book of Sword Master Neville first. If this The average order after the book is on the shelves is 500, which means that my after-tax royalties can be about 3K. If it is enough, I will not do double editions and concentrate on finishing the book. Rollo's story can be very long, because there are There are many new things, new things that extend from the HP world framework.

There is also good news to share with you. I went to ask the editor and he said that if the reading of this book can be stable, which is more than 200, which is really low, then he can give it to me next week. The second recommendation is to test the water. Whether you can turn around can only be seen if you can get recommendations for next week. This requires everyone's help. I am asking for a wave of free recommendations here. Try not to keep books and give them some follow-up reading. The number of readers has been reduced, and the recommendation has disappeared, so this book has actually been sent. Thank you all for your continued support, thank you brothers!

By the way, I also set up a flag in the group, that is, if I can still write a book of great value, then I will spend one-tenth of my subscription fee every month to send out red envelopes in the group. About 700 is given out every month. My first HP Knight Conquest sold over 2200 yuan. In those few months, I gave out about 700 red envelopes in the group. The starting monthly ticket package was given out [-]. Now it is considered a critical moment for crowdfunding?If it can be done)
