Chapter 163: This chapter that the author wrote while eating grilled fish
Zhang Xu, who returned to the dormitory alone, made himself a cup of hot cocoa and sat on the balcony thinking about what he saw tonight.
There are seven fire dragons, which are neither integer multiples of four people, nor can they be made into dragon head stewed soup, dragon neck spicy, dragon wing cold salad, dragon chop fragrant pan-fried, thigh slices and hot pot, dragon whip...... Well...... This time it's all female dragons...... came to divide, Zhang Xu didn't know how to divide it for a while.
The fire dragons prepared this time, but the number, type and "plot" are different, and the other characteristics have not changed.
The biggest possibility is that it will become a group fight.
The next morning, Zhang Xu came to the cafeteria early in the morning.
It didn't take long for Ron and Cedric, with dark circles under their eyes, to enter the cafeteria, and it seemed that neither of them had slept well last night.
Then there was Krum, who also had dark circles under his eyes.
Finally, Gabrielle, who came to find her sister.
Fleur came to Zhang Xu's bedroom at three o'clock in the morning, and she was obviously frightened when she saw the seven fire dragons tonight, and she thought she was going to take on the seven fire dragons alone at first, and she almost fell off the flying sword at that time.
After Zhang Xu lit a few Ningshen herbs in the incense burner, it took a lot of effort to appease Furong, and now Furong is still sleeping in Zhang Xu's bed.
When Zhang Xu and Gabrielle finished breakfast, he found that Ron's owl had sent a letter to Ron, and it seemed that Ron had asked his second brother for help last night. After this year's Quidditch World Cup, Charlie's holiday will end next year's Spring Festival, and he is still living in the Burrow.
Walking out of the cafeteria, Zhang Xu took Gabrielle to the lake to see the big squid.
Gabrielle, who has the blood of a beautiful baby, is now very popular with animals, whether it is Lady Loris or the unicorn in the Forbidden Forest, they are all happy to play with Gabrielle.
And Gabrielle also likes to play with all kinds of animals, recently Zhang Xu has been too busy to feed Mrs. Loris, and now this work is taken over by Gabrielle.
One day, when Zhang Xu's Animagus detector was ticking, he also saw Gabrielle holding a spotted cat with a loveless expression coming to him to ask for dried fish.
Now even the giant squid in the lake, which is said to be Godric Gryffindor's Animagus form, comes out to play with Gabrielle every time she goes to the lake.
Of course, the content of the play is very healthy, that is, Gabrielle walks on the water by stepping on the tentacles of the squid, and the squid lifts Gabrielle high and so on. What Lori tentacles play and other things that some people like to see,There's no such thing.。
Just as Gabrielle asked the squid to help her catch fish and prepare to eat the grilled fish for lunch, Zhang Xu saw Ron and Hermione walking towards them along the lake.
"Yo, are you two dating?" Zhang Xu greeted Ron and Hermione, "Harry, why didn't you see him." ”
"Harry looking up information in the library." Hermione said, "Ron was so nervous, I went out for a walk with him." ”
"Looks like you're doing well," Zhang Xu looked at the two of them with a confused smile, "I thought you were in the library, and Harry came out to accompany Ron." ”
Ron's face turned red all of a sudden, and Hermione's face was not red Zhang Xu couldn't see it.
"Zhang, do you know how to defeat the fire dragon?" Ron asked Zhang Xu while using the flying spell to get the firewood in the distance.
Although Ron had recently been trained on fire dragons, it was all simulated by the students. In the past, when Charlie was a dragon trainer, he still remembers the scars left by injuries on his body. When he saw Shichijo last night, he was still instinctively scared.
Zhang Xu squatted at the water's edge, using Shenfeng Snape to deal with the fish caught by the big squid.
Hearing Ron's question, Zhang Xu thought for a moment and said, "If you want to defeat a fire dragon head-on, it's impossible, I don't think a student can easily defeat an adult fire dragon that requires several adult wizards to control." You should look elsewhere. ”
"Is there any way to do it?" Ron asked.
"Remember what I said to you three years ago on Halloween night after you and Harry rescued Hermione from the troll's big wooden stick?" Zhang Xu asked rhetorically, "You have to figure out what your strengths and weaknesses are, and what are the strengths and weaknesses of the enemy in front of you." ”
Zhang Xu continued: "If you figure these out, you can play to your own strengths in response to the weaknesses of the other party." How to do it, this can only be answered through your own analysis, and no one else can help you. ”
Zhang Xu finally said: "Do you remember the levitation spell you used to stun the trolls at that time? Sometimes, the best spell is not the most powerful, but the most suitable. ”
After Zhang Xu finished speaking, he no longer paid attention to Ron in deep thought, and continued to deal with the fish in his hand.
Zhang Xu broke off many branches from the willow tree by the lake, inserted the fish that had been cut open and boneless, and used the willow branches to prop the fish into the shape of a butterfly spreading its wings.
Then he took the fish skewered with willow branches to Hermione's lit pyre, and lined up in a circle around the burning pyre.
When the fish is medium-rare, sprinkle with salt, paprika and cumin powder.
It didn't take long for the fragrant grilled fish to be ready.
"Actually, you don't have to worry too much," Zhang Xu, who was eating grilled fish, said to the absent-minded Ron, "The competition will not be simple, and even have a certain degree of danger, but there will definitely be no content that makes you puzzled." Besides, you also know that the price of a fire dragon is not cheap, and if you want to fight the fire dragon head-on, if one or two fire dragons are accidentally killed and crippled, the school will lose money. Hogwarts and Beauxbatons don't have much money, but Durmstrang is expected to be distressed for a long time. ”
After listening to Zhang Xu's words, Ron's demeanor became a little more relaxed.
Zhang Xu still remembers that in the "plot", Blake has a simple little magic to deal with the fire dragon.
Zhang Xu didn't know what this magic was, and it was estimated that because it wasn't Harry who was going to play, Blake didn't tell Harry and Ron about it.
Zhang Xu estimated that this magic was like the goblins of Gringotts dealing with the dragon guarding the vault underground, using some kind of conditioned reflex to make the fire dragon fearful.
If there is such magic, it stands to reason that Ron's second brother must know about it, but looking at Ron's appearance today, Charlie didn't tell Ron, it is estimated that such magic is a secret in the industry.
After eating the grilled fish, Ron and Hermione went to Hagrid, who can be said to have a lot of knowledge about the characteristics of various dragons, and I believe he can give Ron a lot of advice and advice.
Zhang Xu carried the packed grilled fish and took Gabrielle back to his dormitory, and now there is a girl in the dormitory who is lying in bed and has not eaten lunch.
