Chapter 1345 ? Economic Lifeline
At this time, Hermione and Alan had already walked to the new dragon farm on the slope next to Hagrid's hut. Hermione, who had just answered Hagrid's question, heard Alan's voice in her heart, and then her arm was suddenly pulled by Alan. At the same time, her sense of presence was also reduced by Allen, and the wizards around couldn't notice her existence, so the two slipped out of the classroom.
At this time, the strong smell of sulfur made the two of them focus on the dragon farm, and among a group of fire dragons, the three giant dragons were the most eye-catching, and they were all fire dragons belonging to Luna. Send the sample here for her occasional entertainment.
The most conspicuous of them is the red dragon Lacey. The youngest of the three is now the largest of the three. From a distance, it looks like a small volcano covered in magma. The bottom is moist and bright, and the smooth and dark lines cover it, showing the thickness and hardness of the scales. The frills of its neck and the edges of its wings have shown some purple gray that only adult dragons have. A pair of proud eyes are red like burning. Burning lava.
Drogon, who was also huge, folded his wings beside Lacey. There was no doubt that Drogon's body was also bigger, but it was not as exaggerated as Lacey's. Its thick scales became darker, And the outer skin at the base of the black dragon's horn and around the cheekbones has also molted deeper, giving people a skeleton-like feeling.
Drogon lowered his dragon head and squinted his eyes half-closed, looking slyly at the mutton in the hands of the little wizards around him who came to help the breeders feed the dragons because they had no classes in the afternoon, trying to find the fattest part.
Abundant food and a comfortable and comfortable living environment allowed the two quadruped dragons to grow very fast, making them far stronger and more majestic than other more common biped dragons. And the fierce Hungarian Horntail Pansy, who was originally the strongest among the three guys, now stands on the other side of Drogon with his head down and his eyebrows pleasing to the eye. Although he has grown a lot, his body is covered with Linjia, its tail is covered with spikes, and its whole body is brown, but its grown-up figure is quite limited. Compared with the other two, it even looks a bit petite, which makes it sorry for its reputation.
There were vats of raw mutton at the feet of the little wizards around them, and they threw the mutton in their hands high into the air happily and chirping. The Hungarian Horntail Pansy stuck his head forward and collected them together, and then A fiery dragon's breath spewed out instantly, roasting the raw sheep with their heads removed in an instant.
Then Pansy shook her head, dawdled for a while reluctantly, and then raised her head up high with the fattest sheep skillfully in her mouth. Lacey, with her head held high, snorted, bit the leg of the lamb and pulled it. In the past, it directly swallowed all the bones and flesh in its stomach. After repeated several times, it proudly turned the huge faucet and began to take a nap, ignoring the Hungarian tree front.
Pansy watched as Lacey ate the roast lamb that was only a snack and waited for him to fall asleep. She immediately repeated the work again, and then tore off the fattest part, and handed them to Drogon in a pile. Drogon, who had been staring longingly, also opened his mouth unceremoniously, and swallowed it in one gulp.
Suddenly,
With a flick of Drogon's tail, he slapped a Gryffindor who was trying to sneak up on its back behind its side into the piled leaves on one side. After being healed by his companions, the little wizard stood up dejectedly and patted his ass, followed by laughter.
"Drogon and the others are so strong, are you helping Luna feed them?" Alan thought of Hermione's feeding skills, and joked with a smile, "Can they still fly?"
"It's not because of me! The growth rate of dragons is far faster than other reptiles." Hermione retorted solemnly, straightening her back a little annoyed, "Noble... oh, it's Norbeta, it's a female dragon... The original it is enough to prove that as long as it is given enough food, it will sleep when it is full, and it will grow fast. It didn’t take long for it to grow from a small dragon the size of a palm to a giant dragon, and of course they can fly !"
"After all, Hagrid is better at raising these large, ferocious animals." Seeing that Hermione's hair was a little fried, Allen clenched his palms and rubbed Hermione's disheveled hair. Then take them out to play."
"It is precisely because Hagrid is good at raising dragons, and he likes to do it, that Umbrella arranged the dragon farm near his hut." Hermione turned sideways and asked curiously, "Alan, did you put me out of the house?" What are you calling out in Fantastic Beasts class?"
"Katie sent a message to tell me that the Muggle Prime Minister who underwent surgery in the temple has been confirmed to be a squib, and there is no abnormal reaction on his body. I think your mother should also prepare for surgery, Hermione, look When is she free, we will accompany her to the temple." Allen replied calmly.
"My mom and dad have been preparing for this, and they can go to the temple at any time." Thinking of her parents, Hermione's tone was a little expectant, "Especially after my dad recently learned to clean up, my mom didn't quite I don't care, now I watch my dad cast some little magic every day, and I'm also eagerly looking forward to it."
"Then go when you don't have classes on weekends?" Allen paused and continued to ask, "Delphie has grown up a lot now, can he walk by himself?"
"That's what I'm worried about. Delphi is more dependent on magic! She has recently learned how to control her own floating, so she doesn't like to practice walking anymore. Nagini can't help her, but she is worried that her physical development will be worse because of this habit. We don't get to exercise... so on weekdays we can only ask Dobby to take care of him." Hermione put her finger on her chin in distress, and then asked curiously, "It's not necessarily a good thing to show your magical talent too early... Hmm Alan? Why did you suddenly ask her?"
"Maybe I need to take Delphi away tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and borrow her to do something... Uh, it's not something dangerous, I promise to ensure her safety." Allen said sincerely, and then thought of Hermione's preferences. Wanted to say, "Also, I think we could arrange for her to meet her father—albeit a ghost of his youth—but it would be better to arrange for them to meet?"
"Alan, Voldemort is Delphi's father, of course he can see Delphi anytime, he can come to my house." Hermione happily agreed to this kind of thing, but then realized Voldemort's identity as the Dark Lord and rejected Muggles Hermione rubbed her palms worriedly, "But we have to be careful, maybe we can bring Delphi out for him to see? In addition, we must not let Delphi be influenced by Voldemort's pure blood theory, kid It’s a blank sheet of paper, it’s easy to be diverted from his temperament, and he can’t be allowed to influence Delphi’s character and develop wrong ideas…”
"Don't worry about Hermione, it won't be a problem." After all, Allen stretched out his hand and rubbed Hermione's head, "He signed the contract that I personally set...and Helena has the authority to order and control him .”
"Oh, but... well, that's good." Hermione weighed the possible threat of the Dark Lord almost instantly, and gave up the idea of persuading Alan not to enslave others. She was so naive a few years ago, she no longer has any doubts, and she understands that with Allen's wisdom, she has obviously taken all these situations into consideration, "What do we need Delphi for?"
"Hermione, let's sit down first. I'll ask you something before I answer you." Alan pulled Hermione to sit down on the grass on the slope. The grass below her grew rapidly and woven into a soft cushion. "Is the Umbrella under economic pressure recently? Has the business with Muggles made up for the losses we suffered from being sanctioned by other magic circles?"
"Some other countries' relatively unique material reserves are also quite tight. The appearance of those pioneering lands and gray trade can only basically guarantee the use of our own wizards in the floating city... But Jin Gallon has no problem, and the trade with Muggles makes these Non-magical supplies and money are no longer a problem." Seeing that Allen, who had never asked about the economic situation of the umbrella, suddenly asked, Hermione immediately asked, and when it came to business, her voice slightly raised her voice, "Allen Lun, you ask like this... do you have any plans? Need a lot of money and things?"
"I have this idea..." Allen told Hermione about what Professor Flitwick said in the principal's office, that goblins frequently contact the anti-British Ministry of Magic forces in the United States and hold grudges against Harris, "Every country in the world The wizards in China should have other options besides Gringotts. It is time for Harris Bank to expand its business abroad, such as France, which is close to us... Of course, I don’t need a monopoly, otherwise this is not another country in the eyes of other countries. Gringotts? So I think it’s better for the wizarding world in other countries to have their own banks... The British Ministry of Magic will support them in controlling their own economic lifelines. I think these neutral countries are also willing to form with this A kind of economic alliance..." Allen paused and smiled at Hermione, "In addition, the Ministry of Magic will strictly review some gray businesses, whether it is wizards...or those of non-wizard races...."
