"Phoenix?" asked Hermione, a little strangely. "Isn't a phoenix supposed to be a big bird with golden feathers like Fox? ”

"No, no, no, it's a translation issue. Ryan whispered, afraid of frightening the phoenix who was standing on the bamboo and eating bamboo rice. "The Phoenix we call is called the immortal bird in the Celestial Empire, and it first came from ancient Egypt. And the phoenix of the Celestial Empire in front of us is at least stronger than Dumbledore's immortal bird in terms of magical ability. ”

As he spoke, he pointed to the phoenix and showed Hermione: "You see, the pattern on its head is in the shape of the character "De", the pattern on its wings is in the shape of the character "Yi", the pattern on its back is in the shape of the character "Li", the pattern on its chest is in the shape of the character "Ren", and the pattern on its abdomen is in the shape of the character "Xin". These words represent the most important moral ideas of the Celestial Empire. And these words on the phoenix represent that it has mastered part of the power that belongs to the rules of humanity, which is equivalent to the power of faith that we say. ”

"It's incredible, but it's just a transcendent animal, how does it master these complex rules?" Hermione, who was now on the path of slowly figuring out the rules, knew what this power meant, and she couldn't trust some magical animal to understand these complex things.

For example, Dumbledore's phoenix is at most equivalent to the wisdom of a human teenager. It is certainly not possible to complete such a complex study. And this is already one of the smartest magical beasts everyone has ever seen.

"Hey, you two young men, I don't think you humans are any smarter than other animals. Before Ryan could reply, he heard a crisp voice coming from the depths of his mind, giving the impression that seeds had sprouted after the spring rain had dropped on the land. But this voice startled him suddenly, now there should not be many people and creatures who can transmit the news directly to their hearts without alarming themselves through the power of the mind, even Dumbledore has to do it with a lot of effort.

Ryan's first reaction was to look at the phoenix who was grabbing a bamboo and stretching its neck to reach the bamboo rice in front of him, but immediately heard another sentence: "You kid is not slow to react, and he is a little smart." ”

"May I ask who you are?" Ryan asked cautiously, the phoenix in front of him had already demonstrated its strength, whatever it was, this power was already worthy of respect.

"You can call me Feng Ling. The phoenix flew up to a bamboo in front of them at this time. "Don't be nervous, I'm just calling you out of curiosity. There aren't many foreigners in this place, and even in more than 2,000 years, I've never seen more than two digits of foreigners. The last time I saw a foreigner who looked about the same as the girl doll next to you was decades ago. ”

"Do Europeans like me come here often?" the phrase intrigued Hermione.

"No, no, no, not often, the average foreign monk will only step into this land when there is something. Feng Ling said, "I met that man because of other things, the man brought his partner here to return a poacher who had been taken away by poachers. I also learned a greeting from them, and let me think about it - yes, this is it. ”

After thinking of that sentence, the phoenix raised one of its wings to them and said, "Gu has to touch you, I should have said so." Ha, I knew my brain was good and I would remember it for so many years. ”

"Sugo?" Ryan asked as he pulled out a copy of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them from his space bag, and then pointed to the black-and-white photo of the author when he was a young man on the title page. "That, is that the same person back then?"

"That's him. Phoenix leaned his head closer to the book and said, "This young man feels good to me, and I have talked to him." Do you know what happened to him?"

"Newt?? Scamander, who later became a great Magizoology scholar, is now retired. He lives with his wife and pets on his own estate in Dorsetshire. And he's not young at all, he's almost 100 years old. He wrote our first grade textbooks. ”

"Oh, I forget a lot of things when I'm older. I thought he might be great in the future, and it seems that my eyesight is good. Feng Ling's voice became pleasant. "By the way, what are you doing here? I remember there were very few foreigners in this place. ”

"We're here for an engagement ceremony, plus a holiday trip. In addition to that, I would like to stop by and visit my family. Ryan said, taking Hermione's hand.

"Oh, love. It's wonderful. Feng Ling said: "Although I have only just met you, I still need to tell you that great power is the basis for doing things, and killing is sometimes an inevitable means. But please remember the original choice of your heart, and do not be blinded by power and blood. I've seen too many tragedies in my life caused by not being able to hold on to my heart. And love and responsibility are the only anchors that can make people come out of the lost. ”

"Thank you for your teachings. Ryan bowed to the phoenix, believing that the warning given by a phoenix that had lived for two thousand years must be targeted. After thinking about it, Ryan also felt that he seemed to be a little too inclined to physical annihilation recently, and he stood there and began to reflect on whether his thoughts and practices were a little extreme.

"If only you could have something, I think you will be a great alchemist in the future. Now let me give you a little gift, and I wish you to be able to carve out a sky of your own in a foreign land. And of course, congratulations on finding your soul's home. Feng Ling watched Ryan fly up thoughtfully, and then began to sing in ancient Ya language.

"The phoenix returns to its hometown and travels all over the world to seek its phoenix. When there is nothing to do, He Wu is ascending to Sitang—— "Feng Ling sang while flying in the air. After singing the song, the golden light flashed. The graceful and beautiful figure disappeared from the bamboo forest, leaving only some heavenly echoes to echo around.

"Woo——。 Hermione let out a soft sigh. Even though Feng Ling had tried his best to restrain his aura just now. But the magic accumulated over more than two thousand years, even if it only leaked out unconsciously, was too stressful for Hermione, who was just starting to get into the regular path.

"Is this what the wizards of the Celestial Empire are all about?" Hermione said in disbelief. "Over two thousand years old, the longest-lived guy I've heard before is the basilisk you told me about under the girls' restroom at school. I feel like it's putting a little less pressure on me than the Grim Reaper from before. ”

"An independent magical society that has not been cut off for thousands of years, you wouldn't think that they didn't expand because they were weak. Not to mention that the phoenix in front of us just now should be a little worse than a god. Ryan said as he looked at Hermione in surprise. "Okay, let's not talk about that now. We can see what gift that mythical beast phoenix has given us. ”

After feeling his body slightly, Ryan and the others rolled up their sleeves at the same time. A thumb-sized but very delicate golden phoenix sashimi appeared on the forearms of the two people.

After a little magic probing of the sashimi, they found that the sashimi allowed two people to summon each other to their side when the other agreed to be in the same world. In addition to this most important feature, it also allows them to connect with each other.

"I really should be grateful to that Feng Ling. For this generous gift, Ryan felt a little inexplicable, but thinking that the phoenix was more than two thousand years old, it was likely that in its eyes, this gift was really just a little insignificant benefit from the eyes of the juniors.

But for Ryan and Hermione, it was the best gift they had ever received from their trip to the Celestial Empire.
