Chapter 1345? Economic Lifeline
At this time, Hermione and Alan had 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 presence was reduced by Allen, and the surrounding wizards did not notice her presence. 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. Among a group of fire dragons, the three giant dragons caught the most attention. They were actually the fire dragon quilt belonging to Luna. The samples are posted here for her to come over occasionally for entertainment.
The most conspicuous among them is the red dragon Lacey. The youngest of the three has now become the largest in name. From a distance, it looks like a small volcano covered with magma. The dark red scales are shining in the sun. The underside is moist and shiny, and smooth gray lines cover it, which shows the thickness and hardness of the scales. The frills on its neck and the edges of its wings have already shown some purple-gray color that was originally found in adult dragons. A pair of proud eyes are red as if they are burning. Burning lava.
Drogon, whose body was equally huge, folded his wings next to Lacey. There was no doubt that Drogon's body was also larger, but not to the exaggerated level of Lacey's. Its thick scales became darker, The skin at the base of the black dragon's horns and around the cheek bones has also degenerated deeper, giving people a skeleton-like feel.
Drogon lowered his dragon head and half-squinted his eyes, looking slyly at the mutton in the hands of the little wizards surrounding him who came over to help the breeders feed the dragons because they had no classes in the afternoon, trying to find the fattest part.
Plenty of food and a comfortable and comfortable living environment allowed these two four-legged dragons to grow very quickly, making them far stronger and more majestic than other more common two-legged fire dragons. Pansy, the ferocious Hungarian Horntail, who was originally the strongest among the three guys, was now standing on the other side of Drogon with his head lowered and his eyebrows lowered. Although he had also grown a lot, and was covered with Linjia's tail is covered with spikes and its body is tan. However, as it is already an adult, its growth is much limited. Compared with the other two, it even looks a little petite, which makes it worthy of its fierce reputation.
The little wizards surrounding them had large buckets of raw mutton at their feet. They threw the mutton in their hands high into the air happily and chattered. Pansy, the Hungarian Horntail, stretched his head forward to collect them together, and then A hot dragon's breath spurted out instantly, roasting the headless lambs instantly.
Then Pansy shook her head and rubbed it reluctantly for a while, then skillfully took one of the fattest sheep and raised her head up. Lacey, who held his head high, groaned, bit into the leg of the lamb and pulled it. In the past, it swallowed all the bones and meat in its belly. After repeating this several times, it proudly turned its huge faucet and started to take a nap, ignoring the Hungarian tree front.
Pansy watched Lacey finish the roast lamb, which could only be regarded as a snack, and waited for it to fall asleep. She immediately repeated the task again, then pulled off a piece of the fattest part, put them into a pile and handed them to Drogon. Drogon, who had been looking at it for a long time, opened his mouth unceremoniously and swallowed it in one gulp.
Suddenly, Drogon's tail flicked, and a Gryffindor who was trying to sneak onto its back was knocked into the leaves piled on one side. After the fractures on his body were treated by his companions, the little wizard stood up dejectedly and patted the corpse's butt, followed by a burst of laughter.
"Drogon and the others are so strong, are you personally helping Luna to feed them?" Alan thought of Hermione's feeding skills and joked with a smile, "Can they still fly?"
"It's not my fault! The growth rate of dragons is much faster than that of other reptiles." Hermione argued seriously, straightening her back in annoyance, "Norbert...oh, that's Norberta, she is a female dragon... It was enough to prove that as long as you give it enough food, it will sleep when it is full, and it will grow quickly. It didn't take long for it to grow from a palm-sized dragon to a giant dragon. Of course, they can fly. !”
"In the final analysis, Hagrid is better at raising these large and ferocious animals." Seeing Hermione's a bit angry look, Allen clasped his palms and rubbed the top of Hermione's disheveled hair, "It would be great if it could fly. Then take them out to play.”
"It's precisely because Hagrid is good at raising dragons and he likes to do this, so Umbrella arranged the dragon farm near his hut." Hermione turned sideways and asked curiously, "Alan, are you taking me from Why were you called out in Care of Magical Creatures class?"
"Katie sent me a message telling me that the Muggle Prime Minister who underwent surgery in the temple was confirmed to have become a squib, and there was no abnormal reaction on his body. I think your mother should also prepare for surgery, Hermione, look Whenever she is free, we will accompany her to the temple." Allen replied calmly.
"My mother and my father have been preparing for this matter, and we can go to the temple at any time." Thinking of her parents, Hermione's tone was a little expectant, "Especially after my father recently learned to use Cleansing, my mother was not very I don't care, now I watch my dad perform some little magic every day, and I look forward to it eagerly."
"Then go there on the weekends when you don't have classes?" Allen paused and continued to ask, "Delphi has grown up a lot now, right? Can he walk on his own?"
"This is what I'm worried about. Delphi relies more on magic! She recently learned how to control her floating, so she doesn't like to practice walking anymore. Nagini can't do anything about her, but she is worried that her physical development will be affected by this habit. There is no exercise...so we can only ask Dobby to look after and supervise us on weekdays." Hermione put her finger on her chin in distress, and then asked curiously, "It's not necessarily a good thing if your magic talent is revealed too early...Hmm ? Allen? Why did you suddenly ask about her? "
"Maybe I need to take Delphi away tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and let her do something...well, it's not something dangerous. I promise to ensure her safety." Allen said sincerely, and then he thought about Hermione's preferences. Wanted to say, "Also, I think we could arrange for her and her father to meet even though they are ghosts from their youth?"
"Alan, Voldemort is Delphi's father. Of course he can see Delphi at any time, and he can come to my house." Hermione happily agreed to this kind of thing, but then she realized that Voldemort was the Dark Lord and rejected Muggles. Hermione rubbed her palms worriedly, "But we have to be careful. Maybe we can bring Delphi out and show him? In addition, we must not let Delphi be influenced by Voldemort's theory of pure blood. Children It is a blank piece of paper and can be easily changed. We cannot let him affect Delphi's character and develop wrong ideas..."
"Don't worry Hermione, there will be no problem." Allen finally reached out and rubbed Hermione's head, "He signed the contract I personally made...and Helena has the authority to command 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 convincing Allen that he shouldn't enslave others. Her tenure in the Umbrella made her think about the problem without thinking like She was so naive a few years ago. She no longer had any doubts. She knew in her heart that with Allen's wisdom, he had obviously taken these situations into consideration, "What do we need Delphi for?"
"Hermione, let's sit down and talk. I'll ask you something first and then I'll answer you." Allen pulled Hermione and sat down on the grass on the slope. The grass below her grew rapidly, edited by UU Reading www.uukaｎshu.net It became a soft cushion, "Has the umbrella been under financial pressure recently? Has the business with Muggles allowed us to make up for the losses caused by sanctions from other magical circles?"
"The storage capacity of some of the more unique materials in other countries is also very 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 there is no problem with gold galleons. The trade with Muggles makes these Non-magical supplies and money are no longer a problem." Seeing Allen, who had never asked about the financial situation of the umbrella, suddenly asked, Hermione immediately asked, and when it came to business, her voice also rose slightly, "Ai Lun, you ask...do you have any plans? Will it require a lot of money and materials?"
"I have this idea..." Allen told Hermione what Professor Flitwick said in the principal's office that goblins frequently contacted the anti-British Ministry of Magic forces in the United States and had a grudge against Harris. "All countries in the world The wizards should have other choices besides Gringotts. It’s 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 will not be seen as a monopoly in other countries. Gringotts? So I think it is best for the wizarding world in other countries to have their own banks for wizards... The British Ministry of Magic will support them in controlling their own economic lifeline. I think these neutral countries are also happy to form this An economic alliance..." Allen paused and smiled at Hermione, "In addition, the Ministry of Magic will strictly examine some gray businesses, whether they are wizards... or those of non-wizard races..."
