Chapter 11: The Phoenix Hatches
"But what should I do? Should I write a reply for him?"
Harry thought that what Ron had said made sense, but it didn't help him.
He said depressedly: "I helped him write for one night yesterday, and I haven't finished my homework!"
"He's a professor anyway. Hermione said worriedly, "If you don't do what he says, will you be in trouble?"
Zhang Hao smiled secretly in his heart: "If he goes, won't he be in trouble? Troublemakers are troublemakers at all times, even if you don't make trouble, troubles will come to the door." β
Perhaps Harry had listened to Hermione, and he had finally gone to help Lockhart write back.
But Zhang Hao guessed that this kid probably wanted to use this to avoid doing his homework.
That night, he went to a cabin in the woods as usual.
The phoenix egg looks pretty good, and the rune mark on it is about to disappear completely.
There were only a few black spots left, like the freckles on the little girl's face, stubbornly refusing to disappear.
Zhang Hao estimates that there will be two more days at most!
It only takes two days for the black spots to disappear completely.
At night, the mysterious illusion opens up again.
He practiced magic as usual, and did some nonsensical magical transformations along the way.
Lately he's been hooked on amulets and he's always wanted to develop them into passive skills.
It's a terrible idea, because if it succeeds, no one in the world will be able to sneak up on him.
He will be transformed from APC to APMT, and it feels very safe to think about it!
In addition to this, he also researched the enchantment of the suit.
The subject was a bit difficult, and he didn't have a clue at all.
Enchantment of the suit and the development of the Charm into a passive skill are of the same nature, both of which extend the duration of the magic.
If one problem is solved, the other will be solved.
In fact, enchanting an item is not difficult, and many spells can do it.
For example, Transfiguration, Horcrux crafting, Golden Snitch ...... And the magic pieces that Professor McGonagall conjured up last year.
In this day and age, there are actually a lot of enchanted items.
If you classify magic items, they can probably be divided into two types: magic items and magic equipment.
There are many types of magic items, but magic equipment is very monotonous.
A wand counts as one, a broomstick counts as one, and Mad Eye Moody's false eye counts as one...... And Harry's Cloak of Invisibility.
Other than these, Zhang Hao had never heard of any other magical equipment.
Armor with a persistent defense enchantment is never sold.
In short, there is a lot of magic on the item itself, but not much magic on the item itself.
It's a twisty statement, and it might be explained by a more vivid metaphor: a wizard can cast magic with a wand, but there is no way to make a wand cast magic on its own.
Well, that's what it means!
Zhang Hao believes that it is necessary to refer to the settings in some novels in his previous life to solve this problem, for example, to arrange a magic array on the battle suit......
But he rejects the idea because it doesn't work at all.
The magic of this world is closely related to will, what kind of magic circle can make a piece of clothing have a strong will to protect?
That sounds incredible!
Although there are many difficulties, Zhang Hao does not intend to give up.
The joy of magic transformation is to make the impossible possible, so what's the point of doing everything easily?
......
Two days later, Zhang Hao came to the wooden house in the forest again, and as soon as he stood firmly, he heard a clear chirp from the sky.
When I looked up, I saw a fiery red bird flying freely.
At this moment, Zhang Hao was excited again.
Phoenix...... Phoenix!
It's finally hatching!
Perhaps feeling some kind of special connection, the phoenix in the sky suddenly swooped down.
It circled around Zhang Hao twice and then landed on a nearby branch.
Zhang Hao raised his hand and said with a smile: "Come here, fall here!"
However, Phoenix simply ignored him.
There was a very heavy vigilance in those bright phoenix eyes.
"Maybe you should give it a name first," Lilith's voice came from the cabin, and she sat down on the branch and said leisurely, "This is the final step of the ritual, give it its real name! β
Zhang Hao thought for a moment and asked, "Is it a female or a male?"
"Huh?" Lilith was stunned for a moment, and said in confusion, "Phoenixes are spirits of fire and life, do you think they will have a gender?"
Zhang Hao pondered for a moment when he heard this, then pointed to the phoenix and said, "From today onwards, I give you your real name: Jean Grey!"
"Huh!"
The phoenix finally had a name, and she let out a sheep cry with joy!
"Qin, come here, let Dad see!" Zhang Hao once again made a cordial call, he raised a hand, signaling the phoenix to fall into his hand.
Jean was confused for a moment, and then obediently flew over.
Perhaps because it had just been born, Jean was now the size of a pigeon.
But she's perfectly developed, and every feather is beautiful.
On her forehead, there was a dazzling cluster of bright red crested feathers.
She's much prettier than Fawkes, and the two aren't in the same grade at all.
The more Zhang Hao looked at it, the more he liked it, and asked with a smile: "Good boy, what do you want to eat?" Tell Dad, Dad will make it for you!"
"Goo!"
Qin let out a meaningless cry, and she looked very dazed, as if she couldn't understand what Zhang Hao said at all.
"Phoenix doesn't eat mortal food, she only eats sunlight and fire. β
Lilith looked at Zhang Hao's gaze a little strangely, he obviously knew all this.
Zhang Hao smiled awkwardly, he was too happy, so he was a little incoherent.
It's been more than a year!
Soon after the start of school last year, he has finally owned a phoenix.
This year, he suppressed too many expectations.
At this moment, all those expectations exploded.
This kind of refreshment is simply incomprehensible to ordinary people.
"I'm going to take her back to Hogwarts!" Zhang Hao said with high interest, "Dumbledore's Fawkes, I will definitely be ashamed to see Jean." β
"You have an adult soul in your body, can you not be so naΓ―ve?" Lilith said lazily, "She's a phoenix, not a plaything." β
"What's wrong with the adult soul?" Zhang Hao said unhappily: "You still don't allow the adult soul to be playful? If you refuse to do some interesting things in the name of adulthood, wouldn't you impose restrictions on yourself? This is called drawing the ground as a prison and finding your own guilt." β
Originally, he had only come to Hogwarts to study magic quietly, but he had already learned all the magic he could learn, and the more important research work was carried out in the illusion - he had nothing to do during the day except for classes!
In this case, why not play?
