Chapter 66: Dragon Eggs
"Come and see, come and see! I was very selective and chose these little ones! You'll love them! Nott carefully put the old wooden box in his hand on the table covered with flannel, and said happily to Tang Bai with an excited smile on his face.
"What is it?" Tang Bai suddenly had a thought in his heart that made him breathe, and he leaned in with a faint expectation and walked to Nott's side.
"Open it up and see it for yourself! It's yours. Nott pulled his wand out of his pocket, the tip of which was pointed on the old-looking lock on the old wooden box, muttering inexplicable language. When his words landed, the large lock on the wooden box also clicked softly. Noether took two steps back and stretched out his hand to gesture to Tang Bai.
Standing next to the box, Tang Bai thought of the thought in his heart that made him faintly excited, took a deep breath, calmed his restless mind, put his hands on both sides of the wooden box, and pushed the lid of the box up.
Stretching out his head to look inside, Tang Bai's eyes were immediately like magnets firmly attracted by a magnet, and he could no longer take his eyes off the things placed in the box.
Five huge eggs, lying silently in the wooden box with the Traceless Stretching Charm and the Weather Charm cast. One of them is off-white like a fossil, one is earthy brown with green spots, two eggs are black, and one is gray.
Noether and Mellen-Watts quietly walked in front of Tang Bai and stood on either side of him, and Noether on the left looked at the five giant eggs in the box with a lover-like gaze, and muttered in a soft, but admiring tone: "It's beautiful, isn't it?" ”
"What is this?" Tang Bai was pulled out of the empty world of spirit by Nott's voice, and an irrepressible look of excitement appeared on his face. Although he had already guessed in his heart, Tang Bai still twisted his head in the direction where Nott was, and whispered to him for verification.
The corners of Nott's lips unabashedly revealed a smug smile: "Didn't you already guess it?" That's right! They are the dragon's eggs! Each of them was born from a cherished species of fire dragon! It's a fire dragon with a pure bloodline! Not those hybrids of mixed blood. ”
"Don, didn't you say you wanted to get one, or even more dragons? Adult dragons are too large to be transported under the supervision of the Ministry of Magic. And it is difficult to raise when it arrives. Knott has spent almost all of his time these days preparing such a big gift for you. What do you think? Mellen Watts said slowly to Tang Bai in a soft tone that seemed to disturb the eggs.
"Thank you so much, Noether! I love your gift! Tang Bai's palm gently rubbed the giant eggs, and the palm seemed to be able to feel the breath of the creatures inside the giant egg, just like the powerful beating of the heart.
"If you like it, if you like. I didn't know which dragons you liked, so I took it upon myself to pick these favorites. For every wizard who loves magical creatures, raising a few dragons with his own hands is a temptation that cannot be refused. Receiving Tang Bai's thanks, Nott's expression became even more proud, and his smile overflowed the corners of his face like a blazing sun.
"Can I know the types of dragons?" Tang Bai raised his head.
"Of course, I'd be happy to explain it to you. This one," Nott smiled and took a step closer, reached out and clicked on the fossil-like gray-white dragon egg in the upper left corner of the box, and said to Tang Bai: "This is the Australian egg white, native to New Zealand, and later moved to Australia. It is the most beautiful of all the rare dragons, with brilliant scales. It is not particularly aggressive, has a moderate size, and most peculiarly, it does not have a pupil. ”
After Naute finished speaking, his palm moved to the earthy brown egg with green spots: "The Welsh green dragon, the best pure-blooded dragon to raise, has a beautiful voice, does not like to cause trouble, and will actively avoid it when it encounters humans." ”
"Ukrainian Iron Belly, the largest pure-blooded fire dragon in size, with a round body, sharp teeth and sharp claws. Beware of this little one, they are vicious and vicious. After pointing to the gray dragon eggs, Nott moved his palm to the two black eggs that were almost the same color.
"Allow me to put these two at the end, the more fierce and aggressive the dangerous creatures, the more difficult it is to domesticate, and this is a great test of a tamer's skills. Hungarian tree bee, Norwegian spine. The most aggressive of the two pure-blooded dragons, and the most dangerous. The Hungarian tree bee has an unstoppable tail tip like a javelin and a well-developed fire-breathing organ. The Norwegian Ridgeback is one of the earliest dragons to breathe fire when it was young. Knott said solemnly.
"The Ministry of Magic doesn't allow private dragon breeding, right?" Tang Bai pulled his gaze off the dragon egg and asked thoughtfully.
Knott pursed his lips, "That's true! However, as long as it is a rule, there are loopholes to be exploited. I've prepared a small island for you, and when they hatch out, you can stock them on the island. It's like a dragon breeding base. With Melen here, the Ministry of Magic probably won't reject the proposal. Of course, if you're not afraid of getting into trouble, it's okay to bring it back to your own family. I will tell you exactly how to raise them and how to communicate with them. ”
"That's good, what do I need to pay attention to?" Tang Bai knew very well that since Nott had sent these dragon eggs to himself, he must have the corresponding means to solve the troubles from the laws and regulations of the Ministry of Magic. Hearing Knott's explanation, he skipped that question directly.
"There is nothing in the beginning, just try not to let anyone other than you touch them as much as possible, let them get familiar with you from now on, and you better not miss the moment when they break out of the egg. Once you're familiar with them, all that's left is to train them slowly as I said, it's a kung fu job. Knott spoke in general.
"There's no contract or something?" Tang Bai frowned, although he said that he didn't have much hope of holding this up, he still asked a little unwillingly.
"Some families may have this kind of contract, the famous one is similar to Salazar blood, snakes, dragons, maybe only the McPhasti wizarding family living in the Hesidili Islands, but this is a family inheritance, even if it is severed, it will not be handed over to anyone else." Noether spread his hands helplessly.
"It's me who is greedy." Tang Bai nodded.
Lunch was prepared by Doria, summoned by Mellen Watts, and at the table, Noether promised to help Tang Bai find a good house-elf as soon as possible.
The five dragon eggs were transferred by Tang Bai to the fireplace in his room, and the raging flames devoured the five huge eggs. According to Noether's experience, the more powerful the magical creature, the longer it will take to hatch and gestation. Even if the five dragon eggs are not just born, it will still take a long time for the five little ones to break out of the eggs.
Bellatrix and Gargerson were also allowed to sit at the table, but the position was several positions away from Tang Bai's three, Bellatrix kept making small movements because he was not angry, Tang Bai just glanced at it twice and didn't bother to pay attention to it. He has only a limited amount of time to stay here at a time, and during this time, he has quite a few people and things to meet and deal with. After all, he is the biggest master of the property under the command of the three.
"If you're okay in the afternoon, stay and meet Severus Snape and Borgin Bock with me." After eating, Tang Bai took out a napkin and wiped his greasy mouth casually, and looked at Mellen Watts and Nott.
Mellen-Watts and Knott looked at each other and agreed without objection.
