Chapter 844 Don't Disturb the Sleeping Dragon
"What is the most dangerous thing in the mountains other than a fire dragon?"
"It's a mountain!"
Ron's question was blocked by Charlie with a subtle answer.
"Don't think I'm joking with you," Charlie put away the smile on his face, and said seriously, "Fire dragons have a natural keen perception, even if they are sleeping, they can still detect the reaction of the spell."
Maca who was following immediately nodded and said:
"Do you still remember our Hogwarts school motto? The so-called 'Don't Disturb the Sleeping Dragon①' means this..."
Of course, the "dragon" in the school motto does not refer to the fire dragons of today, but to those huge dragons with superior combat power in the ancient magic world.
But in terms of reasoning, it's actually the same, so Maca said it out of the blue.
However, Ron's eyes widened immediately after hearing this.
"School motto?" He said in amazement, "Why haven't I seen it?"
After he finished speaking, Harry, who was walking not far away, also nodded his head.
"Just write it on the ribbon under the school badge!"
Seeing this, Hermione couldn't help covering her forehead helplessly—they both went to the sixth grade at Hogwarts, and they didn't know the existence of school motto until now. These two guys are completely hopeless.
"Haha," Charlie laughed and patted his younger brother on the shoulder, "So, unless the fire dragon has spotted us, we'd better go on foot—don't blame me for not reminding you, climbing a mountain is quite tiring of!"
Several people walked and chatted on the road, and soon followed Charlie and Natalia into the forest.
This is a very ordinary mountain forest, the trees are not thick, nor are they tall. It's just that due to the recent snowfall, the hillside is covered with soft snow, and climbing the mountain in this situation has become more strenuous.
"Our dragon farm is basically free-range. Although this will make management more difficult, it will allow the fire dragons to basically maintain their nature. And people like Egypt prefer Restrict the actions of the fire dragons with the chains attached to the spell..."
While climbing the mountain, Charlie did not forget to spread some knowledge about taming fire dragons to everyone. Looking at the way he talks endlessly, you can know how deep his affection for this job is.
"But those dragon farms in Egypt are more commercial, they will provide some materials to the market as suppliers - my mother originally wanted me to go there because the wages are obviously higher, but I have never liked it The way they do it."
Natalia would sometimes supplement Charlie's narration like this, but what she said was more subjective and emotional than the latter, and Hermione and Ginny agreed.
As for Luna, she was looking around almost all the way along the way, touching tree trunks and touching grass leaves, making Maca call her from time to time, so as not to lose one of them while walking.
But it didn't take long for everyone to understand why Charlie said, "The most dangerous thing in the mountains is not the dragon, but the mountain."
Wanting to keep moving forward in this increasingly steep mountain range is indeed quite a test for most wizards who lack exercise.
Even Maca felt that her legs were starting to feel a little sore.
"I've been busy doing research lately, so I haven't done enough physical exercise..."
Even so, compared to other people who have sweat on their foreheads this winter, what is his little muscle soreness?
"McLean...Your body is quite solid, isn't it?" Charlie also asked in surprise.
When Maca heard the words, he just opened his mouth to say a few words of humility as usual, but in the next second he quickly turned his ears.
"Be careful, there is movement—"
Before the words were settled, a roar sounded from the forest on their left. The roar was muffled, as if something was roaring into a pipe, with a "buzzing" echo.
"Is there a dragon's lair in that direction?" He then asked.
"Oh, yes!" Charlie thought about it, and frowned, "There is a longhorn dragon living there, but... it should be as sleepy as other fire dragons during this period of time? How could it be..."
Before he finished speaking, another roar came again, but it was subtly different from the first one just now.
"I can't let it keep screaming like this, it will wake up the other fire dragons around." Natalia immediately said, "The fire dragon whose sleep is interrupted will be more irritable than usual!"
After finishing speaking, she nodded slightly towards Charlie, and then ran in the direction of the voice first.
"Well, in short, you stay here and don't move - it's best to hide under the tree, if the fire dragon flies up, it will make it harder for you to be found."
"I'll go with you! With Hagrid over here, it'll be all right—"
Seeing what Maca said, Charlie, who was just about to leave, nodded without thinking much—he is also a member of the Order of the Phoenix, and although he has always been in Romania, he is still better than Natalia in obtaining information Common wizards are more than enough.
What's more, those two roars sounded like the fire dragon was angry. If you are facing an angry fire dragon, two people are not enough.
"Oh - I want to go too, actually!" Hagrid couldn't help muttering under his breath.
But within a few minutes after both Maca and Charlie disappeared into the forest, those who stayed there were surprised to find that there was still one missing person in the team of climbing the mountain to find the dragon.
"Where's Luna?" Hermione whispered suddenly.
...
"boom!"
The cave was not far away, but the moment Maca and Charlie caught up with Natalia at the entrance of the cave, a heavy impact came out of the cave accompanied by the vibration of their feet.
"Aww-"
Another dragon roar choked Charlie and Natalia, causing them to slow down one after the other.
"Mr. McLean? Why don't you—"
"It's okay, trust me, it will be better with him!"
Regarding Natalia's question, Charlie gave an answer that was not considered an answer, but fortunately, Natalia still seemed to have a lot of trust in Charlie.
And during these two conversations, the voices they used were very soft, as if they were afraid of arousing the vigilance of the cave owner by accident.
And at the next moment when they changed from running to walking, Maca, who was originally following behind, surpassed the two of them in one fell swoop, and suddenly became the leader.
"There are two fire dragons fighting inside," he said back, "don't worry! In this case, as long as we don't use the spell, they will ignore us even if we throw stones at them."
"Does he make sense?" Charlie pondered, asking Natalia.
Under normal circumstances, although some fire dragons are brutal, it does not mean that they will often get angry.
Charlie and the others rarely heard such an obviously angry roar. And even if you have experienced it occasionally, the Dragon Training Farm usually only gathers a dozen of its wizards to subdue the angry dragon with magic spells.
Of course, even Charlie is only dubious about Maca's words at the moment.
"Wait," he saw that Maca was going to continue running, so he had to temporarily put aside the idea of not being able to speak loudly, and shouted, "We are just here to observe! I will go back and call my colleagues together soon. You don't need to go in!"
"what?"
After Maca heard it, he stopped in his tracks, but at this moment he was already standing at the entrance of the cave.
"Aren't you going in?"
His original plan today was to challenge the dragon, and it was just a way to show Luna and the others. Seeing the scene of the fire dragon battle, he naturally wanted to take a good look at it.
This idea is actually similar to that of Hagrid, even Harry and Ron probably think so.
In this world where reality and magic intersect, isn't fire dragon the romance of men? Although... Compared with the ancient dragon, these "little lizards" are still a little bit worse.
However, the moment he stopped and turned back, a bang came from the cave again, and his movements suddenly became extremely fast.
In the field of vision of the two people behind, Maca's figure only flashed, and then appeared on the other side of the open space in front of the cave.
And almost at the same time, Charlie and Natalia only felt that they were pulled by a force, and they both fell to the side.
"Hoo hoo—"
A Romanian longhorn rushed out of the cave at high speed, and after leaving the cave, it suddenly spread its wings, almost flying past the ground.
Charlie and Natalia, who fell on the ground, were crushed by a strong wind pressure and even stopped breathing for a few seconds, but they were still not as terrifying as the huge body of the fire dragon completely covering their vision.
At that moment, Natalia could even tell a few bloody scars on the dragon's belly.
It wasn't until the fire dragon quickly flew to the other side of the mountain range that they propped themselves up on the ground and sat up slowly. When they subconsciously looked at each other, they both saw expressions of undecided shock on each other's faces at the same time.
"Looks like it should be okay?"
Maca came from not far away, looked at the two of them left and right, and nodded after confirming that their clothes were only stained with dirt.
"Oh...thanks, McClain." "Thanks."
For Charlie and Natalia's thanks, Maca just waved his hand.
"Stand up first, it's not time to relax your vigilance—there's still one in the dragon's lair!"
"Roar--"
Another roar and rumble sounded, providing very straightforward evidence for Maca's words.
In fact, there is no need for Maca to remind them, Charlie and Charlie are both wizards who specialize in dealing with fire dragons. After taking a breath, they quickly stood up and looked into the cave with serious faces.
"Natalia, you go back to the institute immediately to recruit people, and McClain and I will continue to watch here!"
When it comes to spell abilities, Charlie is much better than Natalia. Therefore, the latter did not refuse, but immediately Apparated and left.
But within a few seconds of Natalia's walk, a burst of heavy footsteps smashed Charlie's plan to wait for help.
"Here it comes." ( )
