Chapter 121 Hogwarts (3)
Lin Ning immediately realized that the pitcher plant is now a t, and she is a dps that needs t to protect. Their family of three is a perfect big triangle for game groups.
Although they are not playing games.
So Lin Ning put away this metaphor and switched back to the original topic, that is, what race is the White Queen now?She can't give a definite answer and needs more data and reference materials.
"Jeep!"
"Chat!"
"Wang."
"grumble--"
Lin Ning's attention was brought back to reality by this series of "foreign languages". For her, she could only understand the words of the pitcher plants, and she couldn't understand the specific meaning of the chirping of the elves.However, judging from their current state of being rubbed, it is not difficult to guess what they want to express. Lin Ning ignored their shivering and said to the pitcher plant, "What do you think?"
Nepenthes: "Hmph."
Lin Ning said calmly, "I don't want to eat."
She then thought about the records in "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them". The part about elves, except for the part she mentioned earlier, only said that elves were viviparous, and nothing else was mentioned.If you think about it, they just add some luster to folklore, and there is nothing else that makes people look at it more.Of course, it's also possible that the wizards didn't notice it before. Thinking of this, Lin Ning curled his lips.
The elves: "!!"
How much they love to play tricks at ordinary times, and the wizards have nothing to do with them, but now they hit the iron plate all of a sudden, is it true that the wicked have their own grind?
Their intelligence is not very high, but now that the enemy is in front of them, they can't care much. After escaping from the claws of the pitcher plant, they just squeeze each other and squeeze yours together. Before Lin Ning can react, they He has already flown into the house, the one who takes the mop takes the mop, picks up the rag, picks up the rag, and then starts to clean the room.
Lin Ning raised his eyebrows.
As soon as he rolled his eyes, he met the serious face of the pitcher plant.
Lin Ning: "?"
Nepenthes: "Wow!"
Now even the White Queen looked over.
Lin Ning: "...Why should I take them in? You are enough in the family." Even if Lin Ning intends to keep the elves, it is to keep their corpses as specimens.
Nepenthes: "Wow~"
It immediately turned into a soft and cute dog, just turned around and jumped into the house, staring at the little elves who changed from bears to cowards, staring at them timidly cleaning the house, not even Dare to "ji" again.
Lin Ning was a little depressed: "I think my credit value should be very high."
The White Queen looked at her: "Why do you think so, Amir?"
Lin Ning: "..."
She didn't dare to say anything, and entered the house disheartened, and began to pack the home furnishings and daily necessities they bought.This courtyard with a small garden is actually more than enough for Lockhart to live alone, but now that the three of them live in it, it seems a bit cramped. Lin Ning decided to take it slowly, and when she learned the Untraceable Stretching Curse, it would be more than enough. It will be fine.
The White Queen also joined in, and the two of them also followed the existing layout of the house and made arrangements to make the best use of the space.
Nepenthes kept staring at the elves, and after they cleaned the inside and outside of the house, they drove them away mercilessly.
The elves were overjoyed at this, and decided not to come here again.
Lin Ning didn't think there was anything wrong, she drew a sketch of the elves and gave them a rating on their cleaning level, then clipped the paper in a book that Gilot left behind inside.
The White Queen said with a tacit understanding: "Do you want to write books like him?"
Lin Ning thought for a while and said, "For now? No."
White Queen: "I think Emil, if you want to do this, you will become an excellent writer. I can prove it with "Pitcher Plants' Performance Art and Language Art."
Lin Ning smiled: "That book."
Lin Ning, in order to let the white queen who can't understand the words of the pitcher plant, better understand the behavior and dog language of the pitcher plant, based on her own understanding of the pitcher plant, wrote half of the "Pitcher Plant's Performance Art and the art of language".It's just that the book tends to be more academic, although many times the thinking of the pitcher plant is nowhere to be found.
Nepenthes: "Wow?"
Lin Ning said with a smile: "You don't know much - if you say that I don't have any 'newcomers', I will beat you!"
Nepenthes: "Hmph."
Lin Ning: "...I will never be bumped lightly by you again, and I will fall like a fool!" Didn't she fall to the ground when she was touched by this guy before? When it comes to horned camels, she might not be able to do it with a wand, but the pitcher plant doesn't take it seriously at all.Just wait and see, she will never be so crispy again.
That being said, however, for a long time to come, Lin Ning has no time to improve her physical fitness.She was busy integrating the magic power, reading through all the books she bought from Lihen Bookstore, busy electrifying their home, busy transforming the computer they bought back from the Muggle world, and busy turning the garden It was built into a herbal plantation and so on, and the courtyard that was not "popular" became alive during this period. Now, it no longer looks a little cramped, and the Untraceable Stretching Curse allows its space to stretch in the direction they want, making the space several times larger, so as to ensure that it can be used on the original basis. , so that they all have a comfortable activity space, and they can also separate the space for laboratories and potion rooms.
It can be said that during this period, Lin Ning was constantly spinning.
The White Queen and Nepenthes were not idle either.
For the White Queen, Lin Ning is responsible for combining the magic power with the computer, and is also responsible for some hardware upgrades, so she is responsible for the rest, especially the software.In the case that she is no longer an artificial intelligence, this work is not just as simple as manipulating the data flow to complete, it has also become a physical labor to some extent.
In addition, the White Queen also took on part of the responsibility of supporting the family, which was basically done by manipulating the Internet, and neither of them told the pitcher plants.The two of them only said that Lin Ning prepared a few bottles of good-looking potions by grinding the horns of horned animals, and sold them at a high price in Knockturn Alley, which became their recent household.
And the pitcher plant coaxed like this?Its small family is actually making money outside of the family, and has also made a considerable contribution to the peace of their family.
The pranksters who used to come to play tricks, they are mostly found in Cornwall, and the wizards around here are very annoying with them, but they haven't visited openly since they were pinned to the ground by the pitcher plants. At most, their family is just poking around nearby.
Then there are goblins.
Goblins are classified as xx by the Ministry of Magic, and they are one of the most common and harmful garden magical creatures found in the Nordic and North American countries.They can be up to thirty centimeters tall, with a large head that is out of proportion to the body, and a pair of strong feet with prominent bones.In addition, they live underground, digging holes in the ground as burrows, digging up plant roots there, and often make a mess of the garden, creating dirt hills like mole nests.
Most importantly, they will only patronize the wizard's garden, and their presence in the yard will reveal that the house is inhabited by wizards.
And in their garden, there was originally a nest of goblins.Lockhart didn't come back here often, and his garden was poorly maintained, and he didn't bother to do the less elegant thing of killing goblins, so the garden was full of goblins.On the day Lin Ning and the others came back, a goblin dug a goblin hole, scrambled to the ground, and caught sight of the pitcher plant that was mothing in the garden.
Nepenthes: "Wow?"
Lin Ning was tidying up the bookshelves with the White Queen in the house at that time. She bought a lot of books from the Lihen Bookstore, and when she heard the "woof" of the pitcher plant, she came out and recognized the magical creature protruding from the hole. It was a goblin, and before Lin Ning could speak, the goblin with low magic resistance not only didn't run away, but looked at her and made a sound like laughing.
Lin Ning: "..."
Lin Ning was sure that she was being laughed at, probably because Lockhart had been bullied by this guy before.Lin Ning took out his wand and said to the pitcher plant, "This is a gopher, a gopher from Whack-a-mole."
Nepenthes suddenly lost interest.
Lin Ning thought for a while and said, "They eat spiders and moths."
Nepenthes: "!"
This is unbearable, the pitcher plant shook its ears, and came to the bullying goblin.The goblin's laughter stopped, and then it showed its razor-like teeth towards the pitcher plant and Lin Ning, and then jumped out of the hole, ready to bite the pitcher plant's tail.
"Snapped."
The goblin flew a few meters away.
Lin Ning put his wand back, and watched the show with his arms folded.
Magical creatures like goblins are not only bullying, they're also smart - when the goblins in the underground goblin cave realize they're doing goblining (grab the goblins by their ankles and spin them around a few times to stun them, then throw them out of the garden ), they all scurry out of their holes to see what's going on, a trait that makes them very easy to catch.
Right now, one goblin was blown away, and the rest of the goblins scrambled to get up.
"Snapped."
"Clap clap."
"Clap clap clap."
It can be said to be very rhythmic.
Of course, goblins are not gophers, they will not stop coming to the ground for a long time after being attacked like gophers, but tirelessly scurry around the surface before being knocked out, not at all like elves. The current affairs also made the pitcher plant get a little impatient, use a little force on its claws, and beat the goblin so hard that it can't wake up again.
What was even more speechless was that after this wave of goblins, there were two more waves of goblins.
Nepenthes believed Lin Ning that they were evil eaters of moths and spiders, and entertained them very rudely, which taught the goblins enough lessons to make them stay away from their gardens.
It's worth mentioning that the goblins also turned out to be unsuitable for the pitcher plant's diet, as the pitcher plant said they didn't taste good at all.
(Goblin: "...")
It can be said that the pitcher plant has the strength to protect the family.
Having said that, when Lin Ning completely integrated the magic power and successfully deployed the birth bone water, it had been two months since they returned from Gaolin Mountain in Germany.This seems to be a very short time, not to mention that Lin Ning did a lot of other things during this period. In contrast, it took ten years for Lin Ning to become a white snake when she became a teacher.Just thinking about it, it was the first time Lin Ning came into contact with spiritual power, and during those ten years, she not only learned how to use spiritual power, but also followed her master Hui Taoist to learn poetry, poetry, chess, calligraphy and painting, etc. "Elective course", and now the use of magic power is similar to the use of spiritual power. In the very beginning, she was able to use Lockhart's memory successfully to use magic power that Lockhart himself had forgotten how to use. Cursed, so it is a very logical thing to use such a short time.
But from another perspective, she had a very fulfilling time during this time.
When it slowed down for a while, Lin Ning began to think about how they could relax.
In the living room, Lin Ning put the wizard chess on the small table next to the fireplace, and while playing with the White Queen, he chatted with her about it.
White Queen: "Honey, I have to remind you of one thing."
Lin Ning: "Huh?"
White Queen: "Nepenthes already know where Australia is."
Lin Ning said even worse: "Doesn't it know that we can buy Billywigs at any time?" Billywigs have a long and thin stinging needle at the bottom of their body. Anyone who is stung by this stinging needle Everyone in the world will feel dizzy and then float up and down, and the dry billywig sting needle can be used in many potions.
The White Queen bowed her head and said, "I think it knows now."
Lin Ning: "...I was wrong. In fact, we can buy dried Billywig sting needles at any time. The Australian wizarding community does not export fresh Billywig worms."
Nepenthes: "Hmph."
Lin Ning "made up for it after a dead sheep" to the end: "Speaking of which, Billywig worms are native to Australia. Has no one tried to raise them in other places?"
Immediately, the pitcher plant stopped moaning and chirping, and it ran over and climbed onto Lin Ning's knee, with bright eyes.
The White Queen raised her head and said, "I think the gains outweigh the losses. Even the dried Billywig needles in the market are not expensive."
Lin Ning nodded: "Speaking of which, its stinging needle is still the raw material of the popular candy Zizi Bee Candy, but I think it should secrete an ingredient that can be used as a hallucinogen in its body. All in all , it is worth studying."
White Queen: "I think so too."
Not to mention the pitcher plant, it just nodded like garlic.
However, Lin Ning and the White Queen didn't talk about leaving for Australia, but instead devoted themselves to wizard chess.The rules of Wizard Chess are similar to those of chess. The difference is that the pieces of Wizard Chess can be moved by language, and the pieces can fight with each other. It can be said to be a 3D version of chess.Lin Ning's mind is clear, not to mention the White Queen. Even though she is no longer an artificial intelligence supported by data flow, her logical computing ability is still very strong. The two of them can be said to be equal in this game.
Nepenthes: "..."
The pitcher plant couldn't take it anymore, so it patted Lin Ning's thigh.
Lin Ning twisted his face in pain: "Speaking of which, the candy store that sells Zizi honey candy also sells a kind of candy called 'cockroach pile', and that candy store is in the UK, we can go there anytime. "
The pitcher plant gently lowered its raised paw.
The White Queen seemed to bring up an irrelevant topic: "Today is the night of the full moon."
Lin Ning suddenly realized: "My dear, you reminded me."
Nepenthes: "Wow?"
Lin Ning didn't answer right away, and she didn't know what she thought of, and she looked at the pitcher plant with a very subtle expression.
Nepenthes was confused.
Lin Ning cleared his throat: "We'll go to the candy store tomorrow, and you didn't hear clearly, what I'm talking about is that they sell a kind of candy and fruit called 'cockroach piles', not that they sell cockroach piles, and we're not sure yet Can you eat candy? However, the place we are going to tonight may give you an extra harvest, and if you don’t have any extra harvest, you can eat as many insects in the jungle as you want, I absolutely I won't stop you, how about it?"
Nepenthes: "Wow."
Lin Ning: "...I haven't forgotten the Billywig bug I promised you." This guy is not so easy to coax, hey, he's still bloated.
Lin Ning thought so, and the White Queen looked at the chessboard and said, "I'm going to win, Emile."
Lin Ning: "..." I always feel that her position as the head of the family is precarious.
Is it an illusion?
Walton Forest is located in the southeast of Cornwall, and the surrounding area is sparsely populated. There is also a little bit of Muggle that cannot see Walton Forest, because it has been cast by the Ministry of Magic with the Ignore and Muggle Expulsion Curse.It is said that there is a group of forest monsters in Walton Forest, which is a kind of giant monster with light green skin; it is also said that there is a horse-shaped water monster in a lake in Walton Forest. The classification level of the Ministry of Magic is xxxx, which can take various shapes. Because it most often appears in the shape of a horse, wizards are used to calling them horse monsters. This kind of monster will lure the unwary to ride on its back. It can be said that it is a magical creature with both dangerous and brutal levels.Probably because of the attack in Walton Forest, the Ministry of Magic "hidden" the forest in order to prevent Muggles from getting closer.
"I want to know the scene captured by the satellite." Lin Ning said to the White Queen who was floating next to her. Before the White Queen could say anything, Lin Ning said a series of words:
"And how much do the government departments know about wizards, and how do they want to treat them? Are they just letting wizards use magic to 'occupy' territories that are not vast? Are they just letting wizards form their own country? But after thinking about it, this is actually relatively fair, wizards don’t have to pay taxes, use Muggle expulsion spells without authorization, illegally occupy land, etc., and they don’t enjoy any rights as British citizens.” They can’t even call it As legal British citizens, you must know that they do not have a birth certificate issued by a government department, nor do they have a so-called British household registration book, so it can be said that they are black households.
The White Queen said unhurriedly: "We still don't have a personal satellite this time, Amir."
Lin Ning pondered for a moment and said, "We will."
The White Queen: "Yes."
Nepenthes has long since plunged into the unspoiled Walton Forest like a wolf into a flock of sheep, and will eat any insects it sees.Lin Ning was afraid that he would not be able to keep up with it, so he cast a guiding spell in front of it, and let it go as far as possible along the guiding spell, while she and the White Queen followed behind it under the bright moonlight.Walking on the previous topic, Lin Ning didn't bring it up again, but returned to the original topic of the horse-shaped water monster, "The legendary Loch Ness monster really exists here, and it was discovered by the International Federation of Wizards The largest horse-shaped monster in the world, saying that it is a horse-shaped monster that has developed a habit of showing off, has been unwilling to accept Section 73 of the "Wizards' Secret International Act", which states that magical animals must be hidden and cannot be paralyzed. The terms of the melon discovery."
There are many kinds of magical animals, such as mermaids, dragons, and phoenixes in Muggle legends. However, in order to prevent them from being exposed to Muggles, the International Federation of Wizards has formulated such a clause, and if there is such a If the magical animals caused harm to the Muggle society, or attracted their attention, then the magic management agency of the corresponding country would be punished by the International Federation of Wizards.
"This kind of operation reminds me of when we were in the ib world. At that time, the aliens who came to the earth could not be discovered by the earth people. Otherwise, the ib will be dispatched, and the relevant earth will be sent to the earth after the accident. People use amnestic sticks to erase related memories, which in conversion here is the Forgetting Curse."
Lin Ning: "Ugh—"
White Queen: "Emil, I have to remind you, be careful where you step."
Lin Ning sighed gloomily.
The White Queen thought for a while, then floated over and raised her hand to touch her hair.
Lin Ning: "... I thank you for your comfort."
The White Queen: "You're welcome."
Lin Ning was silent.
Soon they arrived near their destination this time. At this time, the full moon was in the sky, pouring down through this particularly sparse tree.Lin Ning has cast the Ignoring Curse and the Confusion Curse on them all, and must be as silent as possible.
They didn't make them wait long, and soon a magical creature not very tall appeared in the open space not far in front of them.But seeing that its whole body is slippery, light gray in color, with a pair of round blue eyes bulging on top of its head, it also has four slender thin legs and four flat big feet, and it walks unsteadily. , and looked around, as if to see if there was anyone around.
Then the magical creature was bathed in the bright moonlight, its eyes narrowed after a while, and it seemed to enjoy the caress of the moonlight.
Nepenthes: "?"
Nepenthes was very sensible and didn't make a "bark", but this didn't prevent it from staring at Lin Ning.
Lin Ning signaled it to be calm.
Nepenthes: "??"
Then the magical creature called Moon Crazy Beast pulled out a lump of silver poop.
Nepenthes: "..."
Lin Ning declared that it is definitely not for the pitcher plants. Although it is a dog, it is not an ordinary dog, but the silvery feces of the Moon Crazy Beast, which is equivalent to Jinkela, scattered on the edge of the magic herb garden, The plants will grow very fast, and extremely strong.And didn’t their family transform the garden into a herbal medicine greenhouse? Among them, the seedlings needed to make the blood tonic are called bite vine seedlings, and they are in urgent need of fertilizers. Normally, they use dragon dung, but they have limited conditions now, so they changed it to moon. The shit of an idiot.The Moon Crazy Beast is classified as xx in the magic department. It is a very shy magical animal that will only come out of the cave on the night of the full moon, so they came to Walton Forest to "wait for the rabbit".
As for how they knew there was a Moon Crazy Beast here?
This can only be said that they have the White Queen and Nepenthes. The Nepenthes caught the elves, and the White Queen asked them. It can be said that they worked together to find out.
After talking, the Moon Crazy Beast over there started to perform a complicated dance with its two hind legs after pulling its papa. The dancing posture has a special magic power and looks very charming.After more than three hours, the Moon Crazy Beast stopped and went back cautiously.
Lin Ning stepped forward to collect its feces.
Nepenthes: "Wow??"
Lin Ning explained to it that the pitcher plant didn't care and went to catch insects by itself.
Lin Ning ignored it and beckoned the White Queen to come and see.
This is not the poop of the Moon Crazy Beast, but the geometric pattern left by the Moon Crazy Beast when it dances.Lin Ning took out a camera from her pocket and took a photo of the pattern, "It is said that the dance of the Moon Crazy Beasts is the prelude to mating, so this group of them is really energetic." She quickly added, " However, there is another theory that this is its courtship ceremony, which is more convincing, seeing that it bathes and changes clothes before dancing the courtship dance, chooses an auspicious date, and puts all its heart and soul into it.”
The White Queen: "I have never seen a geometric pattern like it."
The geometric pattern left by the Moon Crazy Beast is very complicated. When the White Queen said that, Lin Ning also nodded: "It seems that the Moon Crazy Beast left behind in the wheat field, and Muggles think it is a 'crop circle'."
The White Queen: "Is it possible that the wizarding community mistakenly think that the Moon Crazy Beasts are magical animals, instead of thinking that they may be alien species?"
Lin Ning said with great interest: "If you explain it this way, is it sending a message to its accomplice to Moon Dance? This is not a possibility. We should have caught it earlier."
"squeak!"
"No way?" Lin Ning and the White Queen looked at each other, then rushed towards the source of the sound.It's just that when they arrived, there were no other living things except the pitcher plant that was licking its paws.
Lin Ning looked at the traces around him, and then took a closer look at the pitcher plant. He didn't think it had eaten it, but when Lin Ning wanted to take a closer look, the pitcher plant immediately jumped over and crawled to her. shoulder, slapping her face the other way.
Lin Ning: "..."
This is a bit of 300 taels of silver here.
The White Queen was not restrained by the pitcher plant. She looked in the direction Lin Ning was looking at just now, and saw a ball covered with soft creamy yellow fur, which was hiding behind a tree and looking softly. on their side.The White Queen looked away as if nothing had happened, "Can we leave, Emil?"
Lin Ning: "...well."
She also pretended not to realize anything, and took the White Queen and Nepenthes back home from the Walton Forest Apparation.She went to the greenhouse to apply most of the moon-crazy animal feces to the gnawing vine seedlings, and kept a small part for further research. In this greenhouse, Mandrake, which is used to prepare the main ingredients of the anti-petrochemical medicine, was also planted. There are not too many varieties of grasses, shrubs with flapping wings, mushrooms, etc., and they need to be further supplemented.
After she came out, the pitcher plant was chasing its tail in front of the fireplace, a game it rarely played before, and it paused when Lin Ning came in.
Lin Ning gave a fake cough.
Nepenthes simply overdid it.
The White Queen looked calm: "I have your letter."
Lin Ning: "Huh?"
Lockhart's popularity couldn't be worse. Not only the professors at Hogwarts thought he was weird, but even his classmates thought he was unlikable. After graduation, no one took the initiative to keep in touch with him. Of course Even Lockhart didn't bother to take the initiative to contact them, so no owl came to them in the past two months, and he didn't expect anyone to write.
"It's Mrs Lockhart."
Now Lin Ning understood. She took the letter from the White Queen and quickly read it. Then, while handing the letter to the White Queen, she said in a slightly subtle tone: "I can write a letter based on today's experience. This book is called "The Day I Served as a Shit Shovel Officer for the Moon Crazy Beast."
The White Queen said seriously: "I don't think this name is wizard enough."
Lin Ning said seriously: "Then "The Day I Was Courted by the Moon Crazy Beast"."
White Queen: "It's really fascinating."
Lin Ning: "Yes, I know."
Nepenthes has an indifferent face.
Lin Ning sat on the single sofa in front of the fireplace, and immediately raised his feet with an inexplicable expression.It turned out that when the original body found a career worthy of his lifelong pursuit, that is, to seize other people's memories for his own use, and thus become an idol writer, he couldn't hold back his excitement, and wrote what he wanted to write. An instant hit, he told his mother, Mrs. Lockhart.Mrs. Lockhart was convinced of this, and publicized the matter. The reason why she wrote this letter at this moment was because she didn't want to disturb her precious son's book writing. In addition, she was in Hogsmeade Village. I met August Worm, the editor of Silent Book Publishing House in the wizarding world, and boasted to him how talented his precious son is, and met him with a xxxx-level magical creature, the Evil Spirit, and successfully subdued him To this end, he saved a poor little wizard who was seduced by elves.That Mr. Worm believed it, and thought that such a story was really worth writing. If possible, their publishing house is willing to vigorously distribute this book.
That's what Mrs Lockhart wrote.
Lin Ning thought that the real situation might be quite different from what she thought.
It is worth mentioning that Mrs. Lockhart is the editor who met in the Three Broomsticks, and the Three Broomsticks is one of the most lively places in Hogsmeade village. Almost everyone who comes to Hogsmeade All the wizards in the village will sit there for a while.
One can imagine what kind of publicity Mrs. Lockhart made to her son, who was wearing a thick layer of filters, in that bar. Lin Ning maintained the original sitting posture, thinking with his left fingertips propped on his forehead.
Besides, it's no wonder she said that to the White Queen after reading the letter.
The White Queen came over, sat down on the opposite side, put the letter on the table, glanced at Lin Ning and said: "The magical animal that Nepenthes and I saw in Walton Forest earlier, I Think of it as a velvet."
Nepenthes: "!"
The White Queen went on: "It is especially fond of getting into the noses of sleeping wizards and eating their dried boogers."
Lin Ning couldn't put on an indifferent face at all, but Pu Rongrong's habit made her touch her nose subconsciously, and then she sat back on the sofa and put her hand on the armrest, "I guessed it."
Nepenthes: "Wow?"
Lin Ning: "...I'm not saying that I guessed that it has such a habit, but that I guessed that you met a pudding." Her observation skills are still very keen, her judgment is still sharp, and her reasoning ability is still very good. exist.
Nepenthes are gone.
The White Queen also naturally changed the subject: "Are you going to be a writer?"
Lin Ning said slowly: "I haven't done this job yet." Apart from the first two worlds that he traveled through, criminal investigation took up most of the latter worlds.Of course, it is inseparable from the attributes of the world, and it is also related to her inherent ability, and writing and her original direction to become a teacher, these two professions are never touched by Lin Ning, so there will undoubtedly be Bring a lot of freshness.And Mrs. Lockhart is so "rushing ducks to the shelves", if she doesn't do something, will she just leave such a laughing stock and become a dark history?That's not in her nature either.
The White Queen then asked, "Adventure stories?"
Lin Ning paused before saying, "I'm afraid that as soon as I write it, it will be written as a detective."
The White Queen didn't take it seriously: "I think that would be an interesting attempt."
Lin Ning felt that the filter that her dear family gave her was also very thick. In order to live up to this hope, Lin Ning did a good job of research before writing, not only the latest trend of current novels in the wizarding world, but also Muggle novels. boundary.The total number of wizards in the world does not exceed 20, and the total number of wizards in the UK does not exceed [-]. The base is small, and the purchasing power is even more limited.
Wait, before thinking about purchasing power, there must be such a prerequisite, that is, the novels written can be favored by publishing houses.
Lin Ning has no way of knowing the contents of the books Lockhart wrote in the original book, such as "Wandering with Werewolves", "A Year with the Tibetan Yeti", "Holidays with Hags", etc. Now that he has become a best-selling author in the wizarding world, it can be seen that he actually has some skills.
Having said that, Lin Ning was responsible for investigating the trend of novels in the wizarding world first, and further found that entertainment in the wizarding world is very barren, so it is no wonder that Quidditch is so popular.In terms of publishing books, many books existed decades or hundreds of years ago, and they were only reprinted. For example, the number of novels is pitifully small, and the classification is even less.Look at the newspaper "Quieter", which publishes sightings and non-mainstream news about creatures that are said to not exist in the world. Its sales volume is much higher than that of the "Daily Prophet" approved by the Ministry of Magic. It turns out that the spirits of wizards are a little empty these days, but this applies everywhere.
Just like "The Day I Was Courted by the Moon Crazy Beast" is far more eye-catching than "The Day I Became a Shit Shovel Officer to the Moon Crazy Beast" for the same reason.
Shocked body.
After Lin Ning knew it, he began to write.Naturally, the story of the Evil Spirit cannot be written. Lockhart didn't have that kind of experience in the first place. He just wanted to take this kind of experience from other wizards.That horned camel?
In fact, this experience cannot be written, at least the real experience cannot be written, it is not shocking enough.
No no, it was too shocking.
Lin Ning still has to protect their dog so that it can better pretend to be a dog and eat magical animals in the future. Maybe in the future she can write a book "Where to Eat Fantastic Beasts" based on its little family's experience.
Or "Fantastic Beasts on the Bite of the Tongue".
Lin Ning suppressed his smile, organized the manuscript, and started typing.
After typing, she would transcribe them on paper, which was really troublesome.After binding, Lin Ning first showed it to the White Queen. After reading it, the White Queen said: "The logic is rigorous, and there are no grammar or spelling mistakes."
Lin Ning smiled: "Then let's visit Mr. Worm's house."
August Worm, editor-in-chief of Obscure Books Publishing House, inherited the book publishing house from his father and has published many books, including "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" written by Newt Scarman. ", and this book has become the designated textbook for Hogwarts. It has been reprinted several times so far, and it is also mentioned by the current headmaster of Hogwarts and the greatest white wizard Albus Dumbledore. sequence.
August Worm's home is in Godric's Hollow. His wife, Mrs. Worm, is directing the house elves to prepare snacks after sending her husband off to work. She is going to take them to a gathering with friends.When the house elf said that there was a visitor, Mrs. Worm didn't pay much attention to it. She just wondered who would come. When she came out of the bedroom and was about to go down to the first floor, the guest who was invited into the living room stood up and pointed at her. She bowed slightly, and then showed a smile that was brighter than the sun outside. Her blue eyes were full of brilliance. When she looked over, it seemed that she was all in her eyes. Her lips parted slightly, and a pleasant voice came out: "Noon Ann, ma'am."
Mrs. Worm grabbed the handrail of the stairs and said in a voiceless voice, "Merlin's lace panties!"
Lin Ning: "...?"
Although they are not playing games.
So Lin Ning put away this metaphor and switched back to the original topic, that is, what race is the White Queen now?She can't give a definite answer and needs more data and reference materials.
"Jeep!"
"Chat!"
"Wang."
"grumble--"
Lin Ning's attention was brought back to reality by this series of "foreign languages". For her, she could only understand the words of the pitcher plants, and she couldn't understand the specific meaning of the chirping of the elves.However, judging from their current state of being rubbed, it is not difficult to guess what they want to express. Lin Ning ignored their shivering and said to the pitcher plant, "What do you think?"
Nepenthes: "Hmph."
Lin Ning said calmly, "I don't want to eat."
She then thought about the records in "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them". The part about elves, except for the part she mentioned earlier, only said that elves were viviparous, and nothing else was mentioned.If you think about it, they just add some luster to folklore, and there is nothing else that makes people look at it more.Of course, it's also possible that the wizards didn't notice it before. Thinking of this, Lin Ning curled his lips.
The elves: "!!"
How much they love to play tricks at ordinary times, and the wizards have nothing to do with them, but now they hit the iron plate all of a sudden, is it true that the wicked have their own grind?
Their intelligence is not very high, but now that the enemy is in front of them, they can't care much. After escaping from the claws of the pitcher plant, they just squeeze each other and squeeze yours together. Before Lin Ning can react, they He has already flown into the house, the one who takes the mop takes the mop, picks up the rag, picks up the rag, and then starts to clean the room.
Lin Ning raised his eyebrows.
As soon as he rolled his eyes, he met the serious face of the pitcher plant.
Lin Ning: "?"
Nepenthes: "Wow!"
Now even the White Queen looked over.
Lin Ning: "...Why should I take them in? You are enough in the family." Even if Lin Ning intends to keep the elves, it is to keep their corpses as specimens.
Nepenthes: "Wow~"
It immediately turned into a soft and cute dog, just turned around and jumped into the house, staring at the little elves who changed from bears to cowards, staring at them timidly cleaning the house, not even Dare to "ji" again.
Lin Ning was a little depressed: "I think my credit value should be very high."
The White Queen looked at her: "Why do you think so, Amir?"
Lin Ning: "..."
She didn't dare to say anything, and entered the house disheartened, and began to pack the home furnishings and daily necessities they bought.This courtyard with a small garden is actually more than enough for Lockhart to live alone, but now that the three of them live in it, it seems a bit cramped. Lin Ning decided to take it slowly, and when she learned the Untraceable Stretching Curse, it would be more than enough. It will be fine.
The White Queen also joined in, and the two of them also followed the existing layout of the house and made arrangements to make the best use of the space.
Nepenthes kept staring at the elves, and after they cleaned the inside and outside of the house, they drove them away mercilessly.
The elves were overjoyed at this, and decided not to come here again.
Lin Ning didn't think there was anything wrong, she drew a sketch of the elves and gave them a rating on their cleaning level, then clipped the paper in a book that Gilot left behind inside.
The White Queen said with a tacit understanding: "Do you want to write books like him?"
Lin Ning thought for a while and said, "For now? No."
White Queen: "I think Emil, if you want to do this, you will become an excellent writer. I can prove it with "Pitcher Plants' Performance Art and Language Art."
Lin Ning smiled: "That book."
Lin Ning, in order to let the white queen who can't understand the words of the pitcher plant, better understand the behavior and dog language of the pitcher plant, based on her own understanding of the pitcher plant, wrote half of the "Pitcher Plant's Performance Art and the art of language".It's just that the book tends to be more academic, although many times the thinking of the pitcher plant is nowhere to be found.
Nepenthes: "Wow?"
Lin Ning said with a smile: "You don't know much - if you say that I don't have any 'newcomers', I will beat you!"
Nepenthes: "Hmph."
Lin Ning: "...I will never be bumped lightly by you again, and I will fall like a fool!" Didn't she fall to the ground when she was touched by this guy before? When it comes to horned camels, she might not be able to do it with a wand, but the pitcher plant doesn't take it seriously at all.Just wait and see, she will never be so crispy again.
That being said, however, for a long time to come, Lin Ning has no time to improve her physical fitness.She was busy integrating the magic power, reading through all the books she bought from Lihen Bookstore, busy electrifying their home, busy transforming the computer they bought back from the Muggle world, and busy turning the garden It was built into a herbal plantation and so on, and the courtyard that was not "popular" became alive during this period. Now, it no longer looks a little cramped, and the Untraceable Stretching Curse allows its space to stretch in the direction they want, making the space several times larger, so as to ensure that it can be used on the original basis. , so that they all have a comfortable activity space, and they can also separate the space for laboratories and potion rooms.
It can be said that during this period, Lin Ning was constantly spinning.
The White Queen and Nepenthes were not idle either.
For the White Queen, Lin Ning is responsible for combining the magic power with the computer, and is also responsible for some hardware upgrades, so she is responsible for the rest, especially the software.In the case that she is no longer an artificial intelligence, this work is not just as simple as manipulating the data flow to complete, it has also become a physical labor to some extent.
In addition, the White Queen also took on part of the responsibility of supporting the family, which was basically done by manipulating the Internet, and neither of them told the pitcher plants.The two of them only said that Lin Ning prepared a few bottles of good-looking potions by grinding the horns of horned animals, and sold them at a high price in Knockturn Alley, which became their recent household.
And the pitcher plant coaxed like this?Its small family is actually making money outside of the family, and has also made a considerable contribution to the peace of their family.
The pranksters who used to come to play tricks, they are mostly found in Cornwall, and the wizards around here are very annoying with them, but they haven't visited openly since they were pinned to the ground by the pitcher plants. At most, their family is just poking around nearby.
Then there are goblins.
Goblins are classified as xx by the Ministry of Magic, and they are one of the most common and harmful garden magical creatures found in the Nordic and North American countries.They can be up to thirty centimeters tall, with a large head that is out of proportion to the body, and a pair of strong feet with prominent bones.In addition, they live underground, digging holes in the ground as burrows, digging up plant roots there, and often make a mess of the garden, creating dirt hills like mole nests.
Most importantly, they will only patronize the wizard's garden, and their presence in the yard will reveal that the house is inhabited by wizards.
And in their garden, there was originally a nest of goblins.Lockhart didn't come back here often, and his garden was poorly maintained, and he didn't bother to do the less elegant thing of killing goblins, so the garden was full of goblins.On the day Lin Ning and the others came back, a goblin dug a goblin hole, scrambled to the ground, and caught sight of the pitcher plant that was mothing in the garden.
Nepenthes: "Wow?"
Lin Ning was tidying up the bookshelves with the White Queen in the house at that time. She bought a lot of books from the Lihen Bookstore, and when she heard the "woof" of the pitcher plant, she came out and recognized the magical creature protruding from the hole. It was a goblin, and before Lin Ning could speak, the goblin with low magic resistance not only didn't run away, but looked at her and made a sound like laughing.
Lin Ning: "..."
Lin Ning was sure that she was being laughed at, probably because Lockhart had been bullied by this guy before.Lin Ning took out his wand and said to the pitcher plant, "This is a gopher, a gopher from Whack-a-mole."
Nepenthes suddenly lost interest.
Lin Ning thought for a while and said, "They eat spiders and moths."
Nepenthes: "!"
This is unbearable, the pitcher plant shook its ears, and came to the bullying goblin.The goblin's laughter stopped, and then it showed its razor-like teeth towards the pitcher plant and Lin Ning, and then jumped out of the hole, ready to bite the pitcher plant's tail.
"Snapped."
The goblin flew a few meters away.
Lin Ning put his wand back, and watched the show with his arms folded.
Magical creatures like goblins are not only bullying, they're also smart - when the goblins in the underground goblin cave realize they're doing goblining (grab the goblins by their ankles and spin them around a few times to stun them, then throw them out of the garden ), they all scurry out of their holes to see what's going on, a trait that makes them very easy to catch.
Right now, one goblin was blown away, and the rest of the goblins scrambled to get up.
"Snapped."
"Clap clap."
"Clap clap clap."
It can be said to be very rhythmic.
Of course, goblins are not gophers, they will not stop coming to the ground for a long time after being attacked like gophers, but tirelessly scurry around the surface before being knocked out, not at all like elves. The current affairs also made the pitcher plant get a little impatient, use a little force on its claws, and beat the goblin so hard that it can't wake up again.
What was even more speechless was that after this wave of goblins, there were two more waves of goblins.
Nepenthes believed Lin Ning that they were evil eaters of moths and spiders, and entertained them very rudely, which taught the goblins enough lessons to make them stay away from their gardens.
It's worth mentioning that the goblins also turned out to be unsuitable for the pitcher plant's diet, as the pitcher plant said they didn't taste good at all.
(Goblin: "...")
It can be said that the pitcher plant has the strength to protect the family.
Having said that, when Lin Ning completely integrated the magic power and successfully deployed the birth bone water, it had been two months since they returned from Gaolin Mountain in Germany.This seems to be a very short time, not to mention that Lin Ning did a lot of other things during this period. In contrast, it took ten years for Lin Ning to become a white snake when she became a teacher.Just thinking about it, it was the first time Lin Ning came into contact with spiritual power, and during those ten years, she not only learned how to use spiritual power, but also followed her master Hui Taoist to learn poetry, poetry, chess, calligraphy and painting, etc. "Elective course", and now the use of magic power is similar to the use of spiritual power. In the very beginning, she was able to use Lockhart's memory successfully to use magic power that Lockhart himself had forgotten how to use. Cursed, so it is a very logical thing to use such a short time.
But from another perspective, she had a very fulfilling time during this time.
When it slowed down for a while, Lin Ning began to think about how they could relax.
In the living room, Lin Ning put the wizard chess on the small table next to the fireplace, and while playing with the White Queen, he chatted with her about it.
White Queen: "Honey, I have to remind you of one thing."
Lin Ning: "Huh?"
White Queen: "Nepenthes already know where Australia is."
Lin Ning said even worse: "Doesn't it know that we can buy Billywigs at any time?" Billywigs have a long and thin stinging needle at the bottom of their body. Anyone who is stung by this stinging needle Everyone in the world will feel dizzy and then float up and down, and the dry billywig sting needle can be used in many potions.
The White Queen bowed her head and said, "I think it knows now."
Lin Ning: "...I was wrong. In fact, we can buy dried Billywig sting needles at any time. The Australian wizarding community does not export fresh Billywig worms."
Nepenthes: "Hmph."
Lin Ning "made up for it after a dead sheep" to the end: "Speaking of which, Billywig worms are native to Australia. Has no one tried to raise them in other places?"
Immediately, the pitcher plant stopped moaning and chirping, and it ran over and climbed onto Lin Ning's knee, with bright eyes.
The White Queen raised her head and said, "I think the gains outweigh the losses. Even the dried Billywig needles in the market are not expensive."
Lin Ning nodded: "Speaking of which, its stinging needle is still the raw material of the popular candy Zizi Bee Candy, but I think it should secrete an ingredient that can be used as a hallucinogen in its body. All in all , it is worth studying."
White Queen: "I think so too."
Not to mention the pitcher plant, it just nodded like garlic.
However, Lin Ning and the White Queen didn't talk about leaving for Australia, but instead devoted themselves to wizard chess.The rules of Wizard Chess are similar to those of chess. The difference is that the pieces of Wizard Chess can be moved by language, and the pieces can fight with each other. It can be said to be a 3D version of chess.Lin Ning's mind is clear, not to mention the White Queen. Even though she is no longer an artificial intelligence supported by data flow, her logical computing ability is still very strong. The two of them can be said to be equal in this game.
Nepenthes: "..."
The pitcher plant couldn't take it anymore, so it patted Lin Ning's thigh.
Lin Ning twisted his face in pain: "Speaking of which, the candy store that sells Zizi honey candy also sells a kind of candy called 'cockroach pile', and that candy store is in the UK, we can go there anytime. "
The pitcher plant gently lowered its raised paw.
The White Queen seemed to bring up an irrelevant topic: "Today is the night of the full moon."
Lin Ning suddenly realized: "My dear, you reminded me."
Nepenthes: "Wow?"
Lin Ning didn't answer right away, and she didn't know what she thought of, and she looked at the pitcher plant with a very subtle expression.
Nepenthes was confused.
Lin Ning cleared his throat: "We'll go to the candy store tomorrow, and you didn't hear clearly, what I'm talking about is that they sell a kind of candy and fruit called 'cockroach piles', not that they sell cockroach piles, and we're not sure yet Can you eat candy? However, the place we are going to tonight may give you an extra harvest, and if you don’t have any extra harvest, you can eat as many insects in the jungle as you want, I absolutely I won't stop you, how about it?"
Nepenthes: "Wow."
Lin Ning: "...I haven't forgotten the Billywig bug I promised you." This guy is not so easy to coax, hey, he's still bloated.
Lin Ning thought so, and the White Queen looked at the chessboard and said, "I'm going to win, Emile."
Lin Ning: "..." I always feel that her position as the head of the family is precarious.
Is it an illusion?
Walton Forest is located in the southeast of Cornwall, and the surrounding area is sparsely populated. There is also a little bit of Muggle that cannot see Walton Forest, because it has been cast by the Ministry of Magic with the Ignore and Muggle Expulsion Curse.It is said that there is a group of forest monsters in Walton Forest, which is a kind of giant monster with light green skin; it is also said that there is a horse-shaped water monster in a lake in Walton Forest. The classification level of the Ministry of Magic is xxxx, which can take various shapes. Because it most often appears in the shape of a horse, wizards are used to calling them horse monsters. This kind of monster will lure the unwary to ride on its back. It can be said that it is a magical creature with both dangerous and brutal levels.Probably because of the attack in Walton Forest, the Ministry of Magic "hidden" the forest in order to prevent Muggles from getting closer.
"I want to know the scene captured by the satellite." Lin Ning said to the White Queen who was floating next to her. Before the White Queen could say anything, Lin Ning said a series of words:
"And how much do the government departments know about wizards, and how do they want to treat them? Are they just letting wizards use magic to 'occupy' territories that are not vast? Are they just letting wizards form their own country? But after thinking about it, this is actually relatively fair, wizards don’t have to pay taxes, use Muggle expulsion spells without authorization, illegally occupy land, etc., and they don’t enjoy any rights as British citizens.” They can’t even call it As legal British citizens, you must know that they do not have a birth certificate issued by a government department, nor do they have a so-called British household registration book, so it can be said that they are black households.
The White Queen said unhurriedly: "We still don't have a personal satellite this time, Amir."
Lin Ning pondered for a moment and said, "We will."
The White Queen: "Yes."
Nepenthes has long since plunged into the unspoiled Walton Forest like a wolf into a flock of sheep, and will eat any insects it sees.Lin Ning was afraid that he would not be able to keep up with it, so he cast a guiding spell in front of it, and let it go as far as possible along the guiding spell, while she and the White Queen followed behind it under the bright moonlight.Walking on the previous topic, Lin Ning didn't bring it up again, but returned to the original topic of the horse-shaped water monster, "The legendary Loch Ness monster really exists here, and it was discovered by the International Federation of Wizards The largest horse-shaped monster in the world, saying that it is a horse-shaped monster that has developed a habit of showing off, has been unwilling to accept Section 73 of the "Wizards' Secret International Act", which states that magical animals must be hidden and cannot be paralyzed. The terms of the melon discovery."
There are many kinds of magical animals, such as mermaids, dragons, and phoenixes in Muggle legends. However, in order to prevent them from being exposed to Muggles, the International Federation of Wizards has formulated such a clause, and if there is such a If the magical animals caused harm to the Muggle society, or attracted their attention, then the magic management agency of the corresponding country would be punished by the International Federation of Wizards.
"This kind of operation reminds me of when we were in the ib world. At that time, the aliens who came to the earth could not be discovered by the earth people. Otherwise, the ib will be dispatched, and the relevant earth will be sent to the earth after the accident. People use amnestic sticks to erase related memories, which in conversion here is the Forgetting Curse."
Lin Ning: "Ugh—"
White Queen: "Emil, I have to remind you, be careful where you step."
Lin Ning sighed gloomily.
The White Queen thought for a while, then floated over and raised her hand to touch her hair.
Lin Ning: "... I thank you for your comfort."
The White Queen: "You're welcome."
Lin Ning was silent.
Soon they arrived near their destination this time. At this time, the full moon was in the sky, pouring down through this particularly sparse tree.Lin Ning has cast the Ignoring Curse and the Confusion Curse on them all, and must be as silent as possible.
They didn't make them wait long, and soon a magical creature not very tall appeared in the open space not far in front of them.But seeing that its whole body is slippery, light gray in color, with a pair of round blue eyes bulging on top of its head, it also has four slender thin legs and four flat big feet, and it walks unsteadily. , and looked around, as if to see if there was anyone around.
Then the magical creature was bathed in the bright moonlight, its eyes narrowed after a while, and it seemed to enjoy the caress of the moonlight.
Nepenthes: "?"
Nepenthes was very sensible and didn't make a "bark", but this didn't prevent it from staring at Lin Ning.
Lin Ning signaled it to be calm.
Nepenthes: "??"
Then the magical creature called Moon Crazy Beast pulled out a lump of silver poop.
Nepenthes: "..."
Lin Ning declared that it is definitely not for the pitcher plants. Although it is a dog, it is not an ordinary dog, but the silvery feces of the Moon Crazy Beast, which is equivalent to Jinkela, scattered on the edge of the magic herb garden, The plants will grow very fast, and extremely strong.And didn’t their family transform the garden into a herbal medicine greenhouse? Among them, the seedlings needed to make the blood tonic are called bite vine seedlings, and they are in urgent need of fertilizers. Normally, they use dragon dung, but they have limited conditions now, so they changed it to moon. The shit of an idiot.The Moon Crazy Beast is classified as xx in the magic department. It is a very shy magical animal that will only come out of the cave on the night of the full moon, so they came to Walton Forest to "wait for the rabbit".
As for how they knew there was a Moon Crazy Beast here?
This can only be said that they have the White Queen and Nepenthes. The Nepenthes caught the elves, and the White Queen asked them. It can be said that they worked together to find out.
After talking, the Moon Crazy Beast over there started to perform a complicated dance with its two hind legs after pulling its papa. The dancing posture has a special magic power and looks very charming.After more than three hours, the Moon Crazy Beast stopped and went back cautiously.
Lin Ning stepped forward to collect its feces.
Nepenthes: "Wow??"
Lin Ning explained to it that the pitcher plant didn't care and went to catch insects by itself.
Lin Ning ignored it and beckoned the White Queen to come and see.
This is not the poop of the Moon Crazy Beast, but the geometric pattern left by the Moon Crazy Beast when it dances.Lin Ning took out a camera from her pocket and took a photo of the pattern, "It is said that the dance of the Moon Crazy Beasts is the prelude to mating, so this group of them is really energetic." She quickly added, " However, there is another theory that this is its courtship ceremony, which is more convincing, seeing that it bathes and changes clothes before dancing the courtship dance, chooses an auspicious date, and puts all its heart and soul into it.”
The White Queen: "I have never seen a geometric pattern like it."
The geometric pattern left by the Moon Crazy Beast is very complicated. When the White Queen said that, Lin Ning also nodded: "It seems that the Moon Crazy Beast left behind in the wheat field, and Muggles think it is a 'crop circle'."
The White Queen: "Is it possible that the wizarding community mistakenly think that the Moon Crazy Beasts are magical animals, instead of thinking that they may be alien species?"
Lin Ning said with great interest: "If you explain it this way, is it sending a message to its accomplice to Moon Dance? This is not a possibility. We should have caught it earlier."
"squeak!"
"No way?" Lin Ning and the White Queen looked at each other, then rushed towards the source of the sound.It's just that when they arrived, there were no other living things except the pitcher plant that was licking its paws.
Lin Ning looked at the traces around him, and then took a closer look at the pitcher plant. He didn't think it had eaten it, but when Lin Ning wanted to take a closer look, the pitcher plant immediately jumped over and crawled to her. shoulder, slapping her face the other way.
Lin Ning: "..."
This is a bit of 300 taels of silver here.
The White Queen was not restrained by the pitcher plant. She looked in the direction Lin Ning was looking at just now, and saw a ball covered with soft creamy yellow fur, which was hiding behind a tree and looking softly. on their side.The White Queen looked away as if nothing had happened, "Can we leave, Emil?"
Lin Ning: "...well."
She also pretended not to realize anything, and took the White Queen and Nepenthes back home from the Walton Forest Apparation.She went to the greenhouse to apply most of the moon-crazy animal feces to the gnawing vine seedlings, and kept a small part for further research. In this greenhouse, Mandrake, which is used to prepare the main ingredients of the anti-petrochemical medicine, was also planted. There are not too many varieties of grasses, shrubs with flapping wings, mushrooms, etc., and they need to be further supplemented.
After she came out, the pitcher plant was chasing its tail in front of the fireplace, a game it rarely played before, and it paused when Lin Ning came in.
Lin Ning gave a fake cough.
Nepenthes simply overdid it.
The White Queen looked calm: "I have your letter."
Lin Ning: "Huh?"
Lockhart's popularity couldn't be worse. Not only the professors at Hogwarts thought he was weird, but even his classmates thought he was unlikable. After graduation, no one took the initiative to keep in touch with him. Of course Even Lockhart didn't bother to take the initiative to contact them, so no owl came to them in the past two months, and he didn't expect anyone to write.
"It's Mrs Lockhart."
Now Lin Ning understood. She took the letter from the White Queen and quickly read it. Then, while handing the letter to the White Queen, she said in a slightly subtle tone: "I can write a letter based on today's experience. This book is called "The Day I Served as a Shit Shovel Officer for the Moon Crazy Beast."
The White Queen said seriously: "I don't think this name is wizard enough."
Lin Ning said seriously: "Then "The Day I Was Courted by the Moon Crazy Beast"."
White Queen: "It's really fascinating."
Lin Ning: "Yes, I know."
Nepenthes has an indifferent face.
Lin Ning sat on the single sofa in front of the fireplace, and immediately raised his feet with an inexplicable expression.It turned out that when the original body found a career worthy of his lifelong pursuit, that is, to seize other people's memories for his own use, and thus become an idol writer, he couldn't hold back his excitement, and wrote what he wanted to write. An instant hit, he told his mother, Mrs. Lockhart.Mrs. Lockhart was convinced of this, and publicized the matter. The reason why she wrote this letter at this moment was because she didn't want to disturb her precious son's book writing. In addition, she was in Hogsmeade Village. I met August Worm, the editor of Silent Book Publishing House in the wizarding world, and boasted to him how talented his precious son is, and met him with a xxxx-level magical creature, the Evil Spirit, and successfully subdued him To this end, he saved a poor little wizard who was seduced by elves.That Mr. Worm believed it, and thought that such a story was really worth writing. If possible, their publishing house is willing to vigorously distribute this book.
That's what Mrs Lockhart wrote.
Lin Ning thought that the real situation might be quite different from what she thought.
It is worth mentioning that Mrs. Lockhart is the editor who met in the Three Broomsticks, and the Three Broomsticks is one of the most lively places in Hogsmeade village. Almost everyone who comes to Hogsmeade All the wizards in the village will sit there for a while.
One can imagine what kind of publicity Mrs. Lockhart made to her son, who was wearing a thick layer of filters, in that bar. Lin Ning maintained the original sitting posture, thinking with his left fingertips propped on his forehead.
Besides, it's no wonder she said that to the White Queen after reading the letter.
The White Queen came over, sat down on the opposite side, put the letter on the table, glanced at Lin Ning and said: "The magical animal that Nepenthes and I saw in Walton Forest earlier, I Think of it as a velvet."
Nepenthes: "!"
The White Queen went on: "It is especially fond of getting into the noses of sleeping wizards and eating their dried boogers."
Lin Ning couldn't put on an indifferent face at all, but Pu Rongrong's habit made her touch her nose subconsciously, and then she sat back on the sofa and put her hand on the armrest, "I guessed it."
Nepenthes: "Wow?"
Lin Ning: "...I'm not saying that I guessed that it has such a habit, but that I guessed that you met a pudding." Her observation skills are still very keen, her judgment is still sharp, and her reasoning ability is still very good. exist.
Nepenthes are gone.
The White Queen also naturally changed the subject: "Are you going to be a writer?"
Lin Ning said slowly: "I haven't done this job yet." Apart from the first two worlds that he traveled through, criminal investigation took up most of the latter worlds.Of course, it is inseparable from the attributes of the world, and it is also related to her inherent ability, and writing and her original direction to become a teacher, these two professions are never touched by Lin Ning, so there will undoubtedly be Bring a lot of freshness.And Mrs. Lockhart is so "rushing ducks to the shelves", if she doesn't do something, will she just leave such a laughing stock and become a dark history?That's not in her nature either.
The White Queen then asked, "Adventure stories?"
Lin Ning paused before saying, "I'm afraid that as soon as I write it, it will be written as a detective."
The White Queen didn't take it seriously: "I think that would be an interesting attempt."
Lin Ning felt that the filter that her dear family gave her was also very thick. In order to live up to this hope, Lin Ning did a good job of research before writing, not only the latest trend of current novels in the wizarding world, but also Muggle novels. boundary.The total number of wizards in the world does not exceed 20, and the total number of wizards in the UK does not exceed [-]. The base is small, and the purchasing power is even more limited.
Wait, before thinking about purchasing power, there must be such a prerequisite, that is, the novels written can be favored by publishing houses.
Lin Ning has no way of knowing the contents of the books Lockhart wrote in the original book, such as "Wandering with Werewolves", "A Year with the Tibetan Yeti", "Holidays with Hags", etc. Now that he has become a best-selling author in the wizarding world, it can be seen that he actually has some skills.
Having said that, Lin Ning was responsible for investigating the trend of novels in the wizarding world first, and further found that entertainment in the wizarding world is very barren, so it is no wonder that Quidditch is so popular.In terms of publishing books, many books existed decades or hundreds of years ago, and they were only reprinted. For example, the number of novels is pitifully small, and the classification is even less.Look at the newspaper "Quieter", which publishes sightings and non-mainstream news about creatures that are said to not exist in the world. Its sales volume is much higher than that of the "Daily Prophet" approved by the Ministry of Magic. It turns out that the spirits of wizards are a little empty these days, but this applies everywhere.
Just like "The Day I Was Courted by the Moon Crazy Beast" is far more eye-catching than "The Day I Became a Shit Shovel Officer to the Moon Crazy Beast" for the same reason.
Shocked body.
After Lin Ning knew it, he began to write.Naturally, the story of the Evil Spirit cannot be written. Lockhart didn't have that kind of experience in the first place. He just wanted to take this kind of experience from other wizards.That horned camel?
In fact, this experience cannot be written, at least the real experience cannot be written, it is not shocking enough.
No no, it was too shocking.
Lin Ning still has to protect their dog so that it can better pretend to be a dog and eat magical animals in the future. Maybe in the future she can write a book "Where to Eat Fantastic Beasts" based on its little family's experience.
Or "Fantastic Beasts on the Bite of the Tongue".
Lin Ning suppressed his smile, organized the manuscript, and started typing.
After typing, she would transcribe them on paper, which was really troublesome.After binding, Lin Ning first showed it to the White Queen. After reading it, the White Queen said: "The logic is rigorous, and there are no grammar or spelling mistakes."
Lin Ning smiled: "Then let's visit Mr. Worm's house."
August Worm, editor-in-chief of Obscure Books Publishing House, inherited the book publishing house from his father and has published many books, including "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" written by Newt Scarman. ", and this book has become the designated textbook for Hogwarts. It has been reprinted several times so far, and it is also mentioned by the current headmaster of Hogwarts and the greatest white wizard Albus Dumbledore. sequence.
August Worm's home is in Godric's Hollow. His wife, Mrs. Worm, is directing the house elves to prepare snacks after sending her husband off to work. She is going to take them to a gathering with friends.When the house elf said that there was a visitor, Mrs. Worm didn't pay much attention to it. She just wondered who would come. When she came out of the bedroom and was about to go down to the first floor, the guest who was invited into the living room stood up and pointed at her. She bowed slightly, and then showed a smile that was brighter than the sun outside. Her blue eyes were full of brilliance. When she looked over, it seemed that she was all in her eyes. Her lips parted slightly, and a pleasant voice came out: "Noon Ann, ma'am."
Mrs. Worm grabbed the handrail of the stairs and said in a voiceless voice, "Merlin's lace panties!"
Lin Ning: "...?"
