Chapter Twenty-Four: A Reward for the Capture of the Phoenix

In response to Ron's question, Hagrid smiled and replied, "No, a phoenix is better to feed than a dragon, and it takes a lot of thought to take care of a dragon, as your brother should know." In contrast, Phoenix doesn't need you to worry too much. Dumbledore had a phoenix, and I think you'll have a chance to see it sooner or later. ”

"You know a thing or two about raising dragons?" Ron asked, surprised.

Hagrid was a little embarrassed, fiddling with his fingers and said, "yes! I've always wanted to have a dragon, and Harry already knows that." ”

Hermione was surprised by Hagrid's idea, and she shook her head, "I'm sorry! I have to tell you that the Ministry of Magic doesn't allow private dragons. It's against the law!"

"Yes, of course I do. Hagrid's face was a little unpleasant, and he said in frustration, "It's just a small wish of mine, and I don't think it will succeed." After all, no one would give me a dragon, would they?"

Zhang Hao was also amazed by Hagrid's hobby, this guy seemed to like big animals. Giant spiders, hippogriffs, winged beasts, dragons......

These big guys are not something that ordinary people can play with, and from this point of view, Hagrid is also a rare specialty at Hogwarts.

Seeing that Hagrid's mood was getting lower and lower, he even forgot to tell the information about the phoenix.

In order not to delay time, Zhang Hao could only comfort: "The world is impermanent, maybe someone will give you a dragon egg!"

"How so?" Hagrid smiled wryly, "Hao! you're such a nice person, but you don't need to comfort me. Who happens to have a dragon egg? Who happens to give it to me? Forget it! It's just a thought in my heart, and you can forget about it!"

Zhang Hao said in his heart: "Maybe you don't know, someone will send you a dragon soon, and it's really a dragon egg." ”

The trio were saddened by the fact that Hagrid was in a state of loss.

Zhang Hao patted Hagrid's arm helplessly and reminded: "We seem to be talking about the phoenix, you just said that the phoenix wants nirvana?"

"Yes, let's not talk about dragons, let's talk about phoenixes first!" Hagrid said, "That phoenix is big, many times bigger than Dumbledore's." According to eyewitnesses, the phoenix was running out of feathers. It may experience nirvana this time and start a new life. ”

Harry asked curiously, "Is Nirvana reborn?

"Of course!" Hagrid laughed, "Everyone wants to know the secret of the phoenix's immortality, but until now it has only been known that they can be reborn." If this phoenix really wants to achieve nirvana, it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. ”

"Why do you say that?" Hermione was also interested in the topic.

Hagrid thought for a moment and spread his hands and said, "The situation here is very complicated, let Hao explain it to you!"

So, all three pairs of eyes looked at Zhang Hao.

Zhang Hao teased his teeth and explained softly: "Phoenix's nirvana rebirth is two states, rebirth from ashes and nirvana into an egg. One is resurrection, and the other is rebirth. ”

Harry said incomprehensibly, "This...... Doesn't that mean anything?"

"Of course not!" Zhang Hao shook his head and said, "Researchers in the wizarding world believe that the phoenix was reborn in the ashes to remove the toxins accumulated in the body, which is a kind of physiological baptism. The phoenix that undergoes this baptism will not change much in memory and physiology. Nirvana, on the other hand, is the end of the Phoenix's current life form. After experiencing Nirvana, the phoenix will start a new life. This period of life is longer than the previous stage, and the memories begin anew. ”

"It's incredible!" Hermione exclaimed, "Hearing you say that, I'd like to see the phoenix too." ”

Harry and Ron are also looking forward to it, and they are both fascinated by the legend of the Phoenix.

Hagrid said with a sigh on his face: "This phoenix that was discovered must be very old, I heard that it is the size of a dragon." I think it must have gone through many nirvana. ”

Zhang Hao was also secretly surprised, the phoenix with the same size as the giant dragon had only appeared two or three in the history of magic.

The phoenix that was discovered this time may be one of them.

"But how do you get it?" Ron said with difficulty, "Will the phoenixes be difficult to deal with?"

"Of course not!" Hagrid whispered, "The phoenix is immortal, and there is no way to kill them by magic or any other means." If you want to kill them, you can only break the eggs while you are in nirvana. Oh! I shouldn't have told you this, I'm going to teach you bad!"

When everyone heard this, they were silent, and they all fell into thought.

"Hao, what are you going to do?" Harry asked curiously, "Are you going to find this phoenix yourself?"

"Harry, stop kidding. Hermione shook her head and said, "It's too dangerous to find the phoenix, and it's likely to die." ”

Zhang Hao also nodded and said, "This matter is indeed very dangerous, and it is not appropriate for me to go by myself." ”

The phoenix was not a necessity for him, and there was no need to risk it for it.

"Are you going to give up, then?" asked Ron, expectantly.

This feeling is as if Zhang Hao gave up on him and had a chance.

However, Zhang Hao did not give up, he said with a smile: "Hagrid, you help me hang a bounty in the Ranger Guild, and I will spend one million gold Galleons to receive a phoenix egg." ”

The Ranger Guild is a loose organization of wizards who don't have a serious job. Wizards also have all kinds of quirky needs, such as digging for herbs, finding ores, and catching magical beasts......

Many bigwigs don't want to do what they don't want to do, and they will let those down-and-out wizards who have become rangers do it.

Just like the herbs of Hogwarts, except for some of the ones cultivated by themselves, almost all of the rest come from the Ranger Guild.

In Zhang Hao's opinion, it is only fitting to leave the matter of going to the Lomite Mountains to find the phoenix to the Ranger Guild.

Why take risks when you can solve things with money?

But the others couldn't understand Zhang Hao's thoughts, and everyone in the wooden house widened their eyes, as if they thought they had heard it wrong.

"Oh my God! A million gold Galleons? How much is that?" Ron said in shock, "Are you sure you want to pay a million gold Galleons for a phoenix? I bet the entire British wizarding community will go crazy about it!"

Harry and Hermione were speechless, their eyes full of gold galleons, and they were both wondering how high a million gold gallons could be stacked.

Zhang Haofeng said lightly: "It's only one million, I think it's a good deal." ”

"Okay, you're happy!" Hagrid laughed, "But such a large bounty may require a notarization certificate from Gringotts." ”

Zhang Hao took out a pen and paper and wrote a letter on the spot, and took out a small seal and handed it to Hagrid together.

Then he said, "This is the identification certificate that Gringotts gave me last time, and the instructions for my commission." You give these two things to the goblins, and they know what to do. ”
