As soon as Zuo Si returned to the castle, he was immediately blocked by Snape near the door.
Especially those scrutinizing eyes and gloomy face always give people a very awkward and uncomfortable feeling.
Fortunately, Zuo Si had long been accustomed to the other party's attitude, and deliberately pretended to be innocent and shrugged: "Please, professor, this is not my fault. If you have any objections to this, please go to Qi."
Professor Luo and the person behind him."
"Have you met that person?" Snape narrowed his eyes and asked tentatively.
"That's right. We had a very pleasant and friendly exchange of magic, but he didn't seem very happy himself."
When saying this, Zuo Si had a hint of joking in his tone.
You don't need to ask to know that in the short spell duel just now, Voldemort definitely suffered a big loss and was even forced to show some of his trump cards.
The effects and power of several spells are no worse than those of seventh- or even eighth-level arcane magic.
"Don't you feel nervous? You must know that that person is the Dark Lord who kills without batting an eye. The names of the wizards who died at his hands are enough to fill several pages of parchment." Snape continued to ask with interest.<
/p>
Zuo Si replied nonchalantly: "Nervous? Why should I be nervous? Maybe he was indeed a feared black magic master in his heyday, but now he is just a remnant soul living in someone else. With Professor Quirrell's magic level,
It's not enough to support him to exert his full power. I bet that many professors at Hogwarts can easily defeat him."
"So you are not afraid, and you even despise him from the bottom of your heart?" Snape touched his chin with a thoughtful expression.
Zuo Si nodded slightly: "Yes. In my opinion, Voldemort has never been truly powerful and invincible. It's just that most people in the British wizarding world were shocked by his cruel killing methods.
If I were living more than ten years ago, I would definitely come up with various ways to kill it.
For example, tons of high explosives were obtained from the Muggle world, and large-caliber Gatling rotating tube Vulcan cannons that could fire thousands of bullets a minute;
Another example is rocket launchers, missiles, white phosphorus incendiary bombs, napalm bombs, thermobaric bombs, poison gas bombs...
Many of these weapons are so powerful that there is no need to aim, and there is no need to spend time and energy looking for the secret keeper, or confirming where the opponent's stronghold is.
Just aim at a certain location and throw it from the sky.
In short, there are many weapons in the Muggle world that are far more powerful than most spells and can kill Voldemort and his men.
The only thing that needs to be done is to set a trap and eliminate them and the Death Eaters once and for all.
Even if you don’t succeed once, you can try again a second or third time.
I don't believe how many people dare to become a member of the Death Eaters and continue to serve them after experiencing several such counterattacks.
Even if Voldemort himself escapes by chance, the power of his men will be greatly reduced, and he will no longer dare to use Apparition unscrupulously to kill wizards who dare to pronounce his name.
In fact, Voldemort used the power of fear and the cowardice of human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.
He placed a curse on his name and asked Death Eaters or himself to attack and kill anyone who dared to pronounce this name, just to make everyone lose their will to resist in extreme fear.
It was as if a murderer suddenly appeared with a knife stained with the victim's blood.
There were obviously many people around, and as long as a few stood up, they could be subdued, but because they were too scared, they all ended up running away.
Then the murderers caught up and killed them one by one.
So as long as you ignore the terrifying atmosphere created by Voldemort, he himself is just a slightly more powerful and evil dark wizard. There is no essential difference from other wizards, and he is not that difficult to kill."
"Did you learn this in the Muggle world?"
The corner of Snape's mouth twitched inadvertently.
In order to better understand the troubled student in front of him, he bought a few books and magazines during the Christmas vacation to gain a general understanding of the development and changes in the Muggle world in the past ten years.
It is impossible to know anything about the weapons used in modern warfare.
I just never expected Zuo Si to be so cruel.
If the last Wizarding War had been led by this young man, Voldemort and his Death Eaters might have all died long ago.
Maybe more than 70% of the pure-blood families in the British wizarding world will be swept directly into the garbage dump of history.
"So be it. You should know that wars in the Muggle world are more bloody and cruel than wars in the wizarding world.
Therefore, the power of weapons has become more and more terrifying with the development of the two world wars.
Especially in terms of lethality, it has long surpassed most magic spells.
Therefore, if you really want to eliminate a person, it is actually simpler and more crude to use firearms, explosives and bombs than using magic spells."
Zuo Si explained nonchalantly.
Unfortunately, these modern explosives and weapons are not very effective in Faerûn, which is filled with magical energy.
During the Christmas vacation, he took several grenades, shotguns and other thermal weapons to test their power, and found that any chemical reaction that did not involve magical energy would inevitably be weakened to varying degrees.
Unless the one-time charge is particularly large, like those big iron cans filled with liquid hydrogen and oxygen, the effect is far less effective than going directly to the "Holy Ball of Physics".
In order to find out the reason, Zuo Si also spent a lot of money to buy a musket made by Faerun's native dwarfs, and then discovered that this thing was actually a magic alchemy item.
Yes!
Faerun's muskets and what modern people think of as muskets on Earth are completely different things. Even the formulas of gunpowder are very different.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
In addition, due to the large number of magical equipment and protective spells, non-magical weapons are not effective in actual combat.
Especially for something that is extremely hard and protected by a magic force field like dragon scales, as long as it is a non-magical weapon, even if you use a large-caliber machine gun to shoot continuously at a point, it will not leave even the slightest scratch on it.<
/p>
Therefore, although the dwarves invented the musket a long time ago, it is not very popular in Faerûn, and there are even fewer adventurers willing to use it as a main weapon.
On the one hand, not all cities can buy projectiles and gunpowder, so it is very troublesome to replenish them, which is far less convenient than a crossbow;
On the other hand, the difficulty of enchanting a small bullet is many times higher than that of enchanting a slender arrow.
If you don't use mithril, fine gold and the like to make projectiles, it is basically impossible to penetrate a protective force field that can withstand non-magical damage.
But if mithril and fine gold are used to make projectiles, the cost is really too high.
If you add in the cost of asking an arcane or divine spellcaster to enchant it, it would be more cost-effective to use enchanted arrows.
Among them, a few magic crossbows with level 3 or above are used with special arrows, and their terrifying penetrating power can even penetrate the trunks of several towering trees.
Under the influence of magical power, the kinetic energy generated by the tension of the crossbow is compensated to the maximum extent compared to the serious lack of propulsive force generated by the burning and expansion of gunpowder.
That's why there is a strange phenomenon in the continent of Faerûn that muskets have been unable to replace bows and crossbows as the mainstream weapon.
Snape obviously didn't know what Zuo Si did during the short two weeks of Christmas vacation. He subconsciously frowned and reminded: "I admit that what I just said makes sense. But please remember
, you are only a first-year student at Hogwarts now. Although you have achieved success that countless adult wizards cannot achieve in their lifetime, there are some things that are better not to be said easily."
"Don't worry, professor. I understand what I should say to whom. But for you, I am willing to give you 100% trust." Zuo Si responded meaningfully.
There is no doubt that these words instantly made Snape's eyes flash with emotion, but it soon turned into a look of disgust.
"Okay, don't talk about these useless nonsense here. Go back to the dormitory and rest. I don't want to see you yawning from sleepiness in potions class tomorrow."
"Good night, professor."
Zuo Si put one hand on his chest and bowed slightly, then turned and walked towards the Slytherin common room.
After he was completely gone, Snape quickly walked into the principal's office and reported to Dumbledore, who had been waiting for a long time: "As you expected, a fight broke out between Soth and that man." p>
"What was the result?"
Dumbledore asked without raising his head while wiping his glasses.
"It seems that Soth should have taken advantage of it. But in order not to arouse his vigilance, I did not ask for details." Snape expressed his inference with a serious face.
Because if Voldemort gains the upper hand, then Quirinus Quirrell should be the first to come back.
"Is he not injured?" Dumbledore asked with a slightly concerned tone.
Snape thought for a moment and immediately shook his head: "Probably not. You know, he is very skilled in healing and recovery spells. He is also proficient in the preparation of many advanced potions. Even if he is injured, he can recover in a short time.
As before. Compared with this, I am more worried about Quirrell's current state."
"Don't worry, he will come back alive. Because Tom knows many ways to escape death." Dumbledore said meaningfully.
"So Potter will continue to complete the trials you prepared for him?"
When saying this, Snape frowned subconsciously.
"That is Harry's fate. You know, he has no right to choose, and there is no way to escape. All we can do is to help him grow so that he can go further on this path." p>
Dumbledore sighed slightly, with a hint of pity for the "savior" in his tone.
Such a fate is simply too cruel for a child who has lost his parents since he was a child.
"I don't understand, why don't you let Soth help deal with that person? Judging from his performance tonight, even if that person is successfully resurrected and returns in a few years, it will be difficult to get any benefits from him."
Snape couldn't help but question again.
Dumbledore stared into the other person's eyes, and after a full minute he answered in a deep voice: "Because Soth is uncontrollable. He is too smart and mature, and it is difficult to guarantee whether he will change his attitude in a few years."
and position. In this regard, please do not question my judgment. I have also been young and understand how easily young people can go astray under emotional impulse."
"So, you helped Soth publish that book and introduced him to members of the Wizengamot, the International Confederation of Wizards, and the Order of Merlin, just to guide him to another path?"
At this moment, Snape finally realized the purpose of the previous operation of the old man in front of him, who was known as the greatest wizard of the world.
"That's right. Soth's intelligence should not be wasted on such intrigues, but should be used to benefit the entire magic world. If he can indulge in research and creation, then I think the magic world will soon
Ushering in a period of rapid development. So we cannot take risks, let alone bet on whether his involvement in this kind of thing will have a negative impact on his character."
Dumbledore gave his reasons seriously.
"Well, I hope you're right."
As usual, Snape finally chose to compromise.
Although he was trying all the time to save Harry Potter from his tragic fate, he also understood that this was not an easy task.
Because the lightning-shaped Horcrux on his forehead determines that the latter will be closely entangled with Voldemort, and no one can easily separate him.
In this way, the first official meeting between Zuo Si and Voldemort did not cause too many waves, and most people were not even aware that such a thing had happened.
Early the next morning, Quirinus Quirrell appeared in the lobby on the first floor to have breakfast as if nothing happened last night, wearing his iconic big scarf.
But Zuo Si, Dumbledore and Snape were all keenly aware that his body and even soul had been cursed.
That's a symptom that occurs only after sucking unicorn blood.
Although it is not very obvious yet, for the three people who have profound knowledge in the field of black magic, they can identify it with a little careful observation.
Snape quickly exchanged a look with Dumbledore.
As for Zuo Si, he didn't show anything strange about this at all. He continued to discuss summer vacation with the Weasley twins and Hermione as if he hadn't seen it.
"Hey! Soth! You must come to our house to play during the holidays this year. Mom has always wanted to meet you." George invited with a playful smile.
"The main reason is that she doesn't believe that we can earn so many gold galleons by being your assistant, and she also threatened to freeze the money if we can't come up with a convincing explanation. So this time you
You have to help us no matter what." Fred also echoed.
Obviously, the huge amount of money these two people secretly saved has been discovered by Molly.
For any responsible parent who suddenly discovers that his or her child has a huge amount of money, they will want to find out its origin.
As a last resort, they had no choice but to ask Zuo Si for help.
Otherwise, all the "blood-earned money" will be confiscated.
Seeing the pitiful looks of the two brothers, Zuo Siwei reluctantly agreed: "Okay, I will take some time to visit before school starts."
"Long live! I knew you would never die without saving your life."
"We promise that we will bring out the best things to entertain you."
Seeing that their private money was finally saved, George and Fred immediately danced with joy.
Hermione rolled her eyes angrily and complained: "The final exam will be in a while, but you still have the time to think about this?"
"Relax, Granger. The final exam is not as scary as you think. And with your intelligence, it would be weird if you didn't get good grades, so there is no need to be so nervous. I guarantee that among the first-year students, except
No one outside Soth will have better test scores than you." Fred spread his hands nonchalantly.
"That's right. The one who should really worry about the exam is not a genius like you, but our stupid brother." At this point, George looked directly at Ron who was studying for his homework with a frown on his face. "Brother, if mom knows that you won't be able to take the final exam,
If you pass, then don’t expect to have an easy time this summer. She still expects you to be a good example to Ginny who will enroll next year.”
"Damn it! Can't you see that I'm studying hard?" Ron complained impatiently.
"Then you should work hard. If there is anything you don't understand, you can always come and ask us. After all, we are also your brothers."
"But every time you answer a question, you have to eat a fat tongue toffee in public. How about that, it's fair, isn't it? Hahahaha!"
With loud laughter, the twin brothers soon disappeared side by side at the end of the castle corridors and stairs.
They never seem to be nervous, let alone give up having fun because of exams.
As soon as George and Fred left, Ron couldn't help but gnashed his teeth and cursed in a low voice: "These two bastards! They must want me to advertise those damn prank candies."
"Okay, don't be angry. I think George and Fred don't have any ill intentions, they just want to make a joke." Harry gently patted his friend's shoulder and comforted him.
"But they made me lose even the last bit of intention to study." Ron scratched his hair angrily.
"How about we go to the hunting lodge to see Hagrid relax?" Harry suggested in a low voice.
"Let's go. Anyway, I don't want to stay here for a second."
Ron accepted decisively and immediately stood up, throwing all the books and notes aside.
It can be seen that a group of outstanding brothers and equally outstanding peers around him gave him considerable mental pressure.
Especially when his friend Harry began to learn how to make spell scrolls, the boy developed a strong sense of crisis, fearing that he would be abandoned because he was too mediocre and useless.
After a while, the two left the castle and headed to the hunting lodge located on the edge of the Forbidden Forest.
Looking at their retreating figures, Hermione, who was reading a book, suddenly raised her head and said: "This morning, I saw Hagrid mysteriously searching for books on identifying dragon types and taming them in the library."<
/p>
"Hagrid was originally very interested in those big and ferocious creatures and thought they were very cute. So I wouldn't be surprised if he secretly raised a dragon." Zuo Si responded casually.
Calculating time, Hagrid should also get the Norwegian Ridgeback egg from Quirrell.
Right now, 80% of them are excited to hatch it.
To be honest, he really couldn't understand why this half-giant thought he could raise a dangerous and uncontrollable fire dragon in a very sensitive place like Hogwarts without being discovered.
Neither the parents of those students nor Dumbledore himself would allow it.
"Raising dragons? Isn't that illegal?" Hermione's eyes widened in surprise.
Zuo Si smiled and responded: "How many wizards do you think really take all the laws promulgated by the Ministry of Magic seriously? And the Ministry of Magic does not have enough manpower to monitor whether everyone has violated the law. Normally, as long as
It's not a big deal if it's not discovered. Of course, keeping a dragon in Hogwarts is a little outrageous. At least I don't think Hagrid can hide a dragon when it grows big enough.
Live."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
"No! I have to confirm it myself."
Hermione's habit of being nosy had obviously relapsed, and she immediately closed her book and hurried outside the castle.
About an hour later, when she came back from the hunting lodge, she had a shocked expression on her face, and quickly said in a hurried and disbelieving tone: "You guessed it right. Hagrid... he really secretly raised him."
A dragon!"
"Relax, don't be so panicked. Even if you are caught secretly raising a dragon, you will usually only be fined and sent to Azkaban for a few months as punishment. It is not a particularly serious crime." Zuo Si gave the girl a very considerate message.
I poured a glass of hot water and handed it over.
Anyway, he felt that Hagrid was not unjust at all when he was sent to Azkaban twice.
Whether you keep an extremely dangerous pet like an eight-eyed spider when you are a student, or let a group of immature lower-grade students come into contact with a certain aggressive hippogriff, there are very high risks.
There is a 100% chance that someone will be killed.
The most important thing is that this guy is a recidivist criminal who later cultivated dangerous magical creatures such as "explosion-tailed snails", seriously violating the "Prohibition of Animal Breeding Experiments" law, but he was not punished in any way.
So Zuo Si has always been quite dissatisfied with the messy rules and laws in the magic world.
Because if legislation is not implemented, the consequences will be worse than if there was no legislation.
This directly leads to the fact that many wizards have very weak legal concepts and awareness, and adhere to the code of conduct that as long as they are not caught, it is not illegal.
"We have to find a way to help him."
As soon as she heard that she was going to be imprisoned, the girl immediately shivered with fear.
"How to help? That is a dragon, and Hagrid raised it on his own initiative. He was not forced by others. As an adult, I think he should know very well what he is doing and be prepared to take responsibility for all these actions." p>
While talking, Zuo Si completed the preparation of a pair of potions, and completely recorded the production process, the dosage of raw materials used, and the processing techniques.
You know without asking that he is trying to standardize various potions in this world.
Just like those magic potions in Faerûn, except that the caster level of the maker may affect the quality of the potion, the rest are basically the same.
After all, quantification and standardization are the prerequisites for large-scale popularization.
Hermione obviously noticed the scales on the table and the scales specially used for weighing, and immediately asked in a very curious tone: "What are you doing?"
Zuo Si replied without raising his head: "Nothing. I'm just trying to quantify the potions recorded in the textbook in more detail and try to reduce the difficulty and probability of failure in their preparation."
"Quantification?"
The Muggle-born girl's eyes suddenly shone slightly when she heard this word.
"That's right, quantification."
Zuo Si nodded slightly and explained: "I believe you should have discovered that the descriptions in many places in the potion textbook are very vague, leaving the wizards free to play freely. To put it simply, they rely on their feelings.
Some wizards are born to be particularly sensitive to magic, just like our Potions Professor Snape, so the success rate and quality of his complex potions are often higher.
But if you switch to someone like Neville who is not very sensitive to magic, the failure rate and danger will increase sharply.
So I was wondering if we could refer to the chemical industry in the Muggle world and formulate a standard for all potions from materials to processes.
For example, the use of materials must be accurate to grams, the time must be accurate to seconds, and the temperature must be accurate to less than one degree Celsius.
In this way, even if the deployment cannot be guaranteed to be 100% successful, it can at least reduce the chance of explosions or other dangerous accidents.
How about it, are you interested in joining?"
There is no doubt that Hermione had no resistance at all to such an invitation, and nodded excitedly: "Of course, I am very happy. In fact, I am also very interested in chemistry. These weighing scales have scales.
You should have bought the test tubes and beakers specially from some specialized stores, right?"
"Yes. These are special tools for chemistry laboratories. Come on, let me teach you how to use them."
With that said, Zuo Si began to teach the girl step by step how to use these highly sophisticated instruments.
Although things like brass scales are also used in Potions classes at Hogwarts to weigh the weight of materials.
But in terms of accuracy, the things made by wizards often have huge errors and cannot be compared with those precision instruments made by high-tech means.
In fact, even the related alchemy equipment in the Faerun Mage Tower has been completely replaced.
Zuo Si even paid a high price to find a special factory to order some precision parts, planning to take them back and assemble them himself, enchant them, and use them to make the "Qualix" magic machine.
After all, technology has the advantages of technology, and magic has the advantages of magic.
Learning from each other's strengths and integrating the two together is what a planeswalker should do.
By diverting attention, Zuo Si successfully made Hermione forget that Hagrid was secretly raising dragons.
It wasn't until Harry and Ron were caught sneaking out of the castle to help Hagrid send the grown-up dragon away in the middle of the night that she realized what she had overlooked.
Unfortunately, it's too late.
"You two idiots! Why didn't you discuss it with me when you did this kind of thing? If I were here, I could at least give you the magic of disillusionment." The girl asked angrily.
"Sorry, I didn't expect such an accident." Harry was obviously a little downcast.
Because of this outrageous behavior, a large number of points were directly deducted from Gryffindor House, so that he directly changed from the originally popular "savior" to an object of disgust.
Many students even talked privately that he and Ron were the culprits if Gryffindor House failed to win the House Cup this year.
This feeling of making a mistake and dragging down others and even dragging down the entire academy made Harry feel for the first time what it meant to regret.
So when he heard someone blaming himself, he was so guilty that he couldn't even think of refuting.
In contrast, Ron's reaction was much more intense. He raised his head and stared with two eyes and growled: "Yes! We are just stupid! Smart people like you should go to Soth, you are the same kind of people."
."
Hearing these extremely offensive words, Hermione froze on the spot, as if she couldn't believe that she wanted to help out of kindness, but instead of being grateful, the other person was actually angry with herself.
Finally feeling very aggrieved, her eye circles immediately began to turn red, and she turned around and ran out.
When Harry saw this scene, he immediately held his forehead and said to Ron beside him: "You just went too far. Hermione is so angry because she cares about us."
"I'm sorry, I don't know what's wrong with me. I always feel very angry recently. Especially Granger's domineering look makes people feel very uncomfortable."
Ron also realized the gaffe he just made, with a look of regret on his face.
But he never mustered up the courage to catch up and apologize.
About half an hour later, Hermione, who had been hiding in the toilet and crying for a while, finally walked into the room on the third floor specially assigned for Zuo Si's experiments with red eyes.
"What happened?"
Zuo Si undoubtedly noticed the girl's depressed mood.
"It's nothing, I just had a little quarrel with Harry and Ron." Hermione explained with a forced smile.
"Is it because of Ron? Did he say something hurtful again?"
Zuo Si touched his chin and immediately guessed the truth.
Through getting along with him this semester, he discovered that Harry was actually very smart and had a high emotional intelligence.
Perhaps due to the relationship he had been living under someone else's side since childhood, the Savior behaved very reasonably and politely most of the time.
So generally speaking, if there is a conflict between three people, it is probably caused by Ron, who has both low IQ and low EQ.
"You...how did you know?" Hermione's eyes widened in surprise.
Zuo Si smiled and responded: "It's very simple. Because Harry is not the kind of person who would take off his anger on others, but Ron is just the opposite. But don't pay too much attention to it. He actually doesn't have any bad intentions, it's just that he has too low self-esteem.
It will produce jealousy."
"Inferiority? Why does Ron have inferiority complex?" the girl asked inexplicably.
"Imagine, if you have several brothers with excellent academic performance who can serve as role models, and your parents always ask you to follow your brothers' role models, will you feel a lot of pressure? And you will never be able to use new things. You can only
Would you feel inferior if you use the old things left by your brothers?" Zuo Si casually put forward a hypothesis.
Hermione lowered her head and thought for a moment, then quickly showed a look of realization: "Ah! I understand! The reason why Ron got angry at me is because he was jealous of us."
"We?" Zuo Si keenly grasped a key word.
"Yes! It's you and me. Ron has shown jealousy towards you more than once, but I didn't notice it before. Oh my God! I can't believe he is actually this kind of person." Hermione said like she was dreaming.
He exclaimed as if he was awake.
Zuo Si enlightened in a half-joking tone: "Jealousy is human nature, it's no big deal. If you want to be an excellent wizard, you have to learn to get used to jealousy and slander from others. After all, you are not Jin Gallon, you can make everyone
Everyone likes it."
Hearing this, the girl burst into tears and smiled, then said with a slightly red face: "Thank you. I can't imagine how difficult it would be if I hadn't met you at Hogwarts." "No, you are wrong. Even if you don't meet me, you can still use your intelligence to carve out your own sky in the magic world. Now, let us turn our attention to the quantitative potion making process.
.You must know that there are only a few days until the end of this semester.”
After that, Zuo Si waved his magic wand and ignited a flame under the cauldron where the potion was brewed.
After the Weasley twins arrived, the four of them began to work intensively.
In just a few days, they tried the relatively simple and short-consuming potions one by one.
With the help of various high-precision instruments, both Hermione, George and Fred were surprised to find that this so-called "scientific" method can really improve the quality and success rate of potions to some extent.
.
Later, Snape, who was the Potions Master, also gave Zuo Si some professional advice in private out of interest, and even asked the latter to help order some equipment for the Muggle world's chemistry laboratory.
As a mixed-blood wizard, he has always respected pragmatism first, and will not be like those pure-blood families who insist on using things produced by the magic world no matter what.
Before you know it, a semester has passed like this.
With the end of the final exam, most of the little wizards have entered the state of "herding sheep", and idle students can be seen everywhere in the school wandering, exploring, and having fun.
As for Zuo Si, he had just received a "big gift package" sent by Lucius Malfoy himself, consisting of thirty fire dragon eggs of different types.
"You must have taken a lot of risk by getting so many dragon eggs, right?" Zuo Si asked, reaching out and stroking the uneven eggs with interest.
"Of course. You must know that smuggling dragon eggs has always been a felony, not to mention collecting different types of dragon eggs around the world. Fortunately, the Malfoy family has invested and done business all over Europe in recent years, and has cooperated with many prestigious companies.
Ancient families all have certain connections. Otherwise, I really wouldn’t be able to do this."
Lucius raised his chin slightly with a hint of pride.
In his opinion, he successfully demonstrated the strength and value of his family by handling this matter.
"Well done." Zuo Si nodded with satisfaction.
Obviously, the reason why he wanted these fire dragon eggs was to bring them back to Faerun to try some cross-species hybridization experiments.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
In particular, they are hybridizing with Faerûn's native dragons, trying to cultivate a powerful magical creature that has certain intelligence and can obey orders to be tamed and controlled.
Although in the eyes of many people, the fire dragons in this world are very low-level and violent, almost like wild beasts.
Wizards even obtain blood, leather, horns, hearts, livers, meat, etc. from dragons through large-scale artificial breeding. Even dragon dung is an excellent fertilizer for cultivating magic plants.
But Zuo Si discovered an overlooked advantage, that is, the fire dragons in this world grow very fast.
Compared with Faerûn dragons, which take one or two hundred years to reach adulthood, they only need a few years to become formidable behemoths.
And not having a smart enough IQ is not a disadvantage to a certain extent, but an advantage, which means that it can be domesticated and become an excellent mount.
Lucius undoubtedly didn't know what Zuo Si wanted these dragon eggs for, and carefully reminded him: "Although you have obtained the approval from the Ministry of Magic to raise some magical creatures away from Muggles, you have to raise so many magical creatures all at once.
Too many dragons will definitely cause big problems. I think it is best to open a dragon farm, so that you can avoid those troublesome legal provisions."
"Don't worry, these dragon eggs are just for some experiments, not to hatch them all and raise them. Oh, by the way, I just met your previous owner not long ago, and he is currently possessed by
Quirinus Quirrell."
While saying these words, Zuo Si raised his head and stared into the other person's eyes, observing the reaction of the left and right jumping master.
Just as he expected, Lucius's face suddenly became extremely ugly after hearing the news. He subconsciously clenched his cane and whispered in a low voice: "Is he really alive?"
"Well - strictly speaking, he is now in a state of half-death, a bit similar to a remnant soul, but not completely dead. The reason why he took a huge risk to come to Hogwarts is to capture the magic
Shi Hao brought himself back from death. How about it, do you want me to take you to meet him?" Zuo Si suggested with a half-smile.
"Let's forget it." A large amount of sweat suddenly appeared on Lucius's forehead.
He was not sure that when he, the "traitor", appeared in front of Voldemort, the other party would directly raise his hand and shoot out a green light symbolizing death.
"Are you scared? That person is now so weak that he needs to be attached to someone else to ensure his survival, so there is no need to be so nervous. What's more, we are just taking a look from a distance."
After that, Zuo Si took out a crystal ball and activated the magic on it.
In the blink of an eye, Harry Potter appeared in the crystal ball.
At this moment, he was standing in front of a huge mirror confronting Voldemort himself.
When Lucius saw the vague and familiar face on the back of Quirrell's head, his heart began to beat wildly.
You must know that when he betrayed other Death Eaters in exchange for his escape, he thought Voldemort was completely finished.
Especially after the name Harry Potter, the Boy Who Lived, resounded throughout the British wizarding world, the Malfoy family began a rapid transformation, just to completely break away from the dark past.
But now, seeing with his own eyes that Voldemort was actually able to escape death, Lucius suddenly felt an indescribable fear in his heart.
He understood that with the other party's cold, cruel, and moody character, he would never let him and his family off easily.
But soon, something happened that overturned Lucius's understanding.
When Harry's hands touched Quirrell, who was possessed by Voldemort, the latter's body suddenly began to inexplicably petrify, then decompose at a speed visible to the naked eye, and finally turned into a pile of gypsum dust-like material. Such a weird and terrifying sight made him shiver and asked in a low voice: "What's going on? Why did Quirrell's body collapse after being touched by Potter? Considering his age and growth experience
, it is impossible to perform such a profound magic. Is it a back-up plan left by Dumbledore?"
