In the civilized world, killing is not an act that would be comfortable for most people.

Whether it's for the sake of food or profit, most people are usually just willing to face the delicious taste that has become a dish, and consciously or unconsciously ignore the unavoidable prerequisites.

Because of this, such a special profession as "butcher" was born in human society.

In a sense, "butcher" and "chef" can be said to be the two closest words, even if there are still many differences between them, but it is undeniable that any top chef is definitely a good butcher.

There is no doubt that Elena, who is the head chef at Hogwarts, is clearly a qualified chef.

"This pig must have been hanging for a long time and has very dry skin, but that's a good thing......"

Elena calmly stretched out her right hand, and dozens of pitch-black metal flakes like cicada wings pierced out of the skin of the Yorkshire white pig behind her, floating and gathering in the air like a layered black rose.

Each black petal seemed to be alive, swirling and shaking lightly...... There was an air of extreme danger in the air.

After all, not everyone can calmly accept the sight of a creature suddenly breaking down into various pieces of flesh.

In order to avoid nightmares at night for her little wings, the failure of the Scamanders' will test, and of course, the more important reason is to avoid mixing the pork, Elena did not choose to shake the knife when she closed the knife.

Therefore, behind the girl, the Yorkshire pig does not seem to have changed much from its appearance.

It's just that the pig's body, which was suddenly neatly divided into two halves in the next second, clearly told everyone present that those pitch-black metal flakes that swirled and flew in mid-air like petals were not as harmless as they looked.

"As you can see, you can easily handle this big guy with just a bit of basic Transfiguration skills. ”

Elena flicked her wrist, and the pitch-black petals hovering in mid-air were swept up by an invisible wind, gathered on the girl's fingertips, and silently re-condensed into the small black cross.

"Compare it to a saw, a cleaver, a boning knife back and forth on these animals......"

Glancing at Newt, who had appeared at the door at some point, Elena paused and continued nonchalantly.

"As wizards, I think we could have done something more elegant, you say? Mr. Scamander. ”

It's been months since the hunt that took place in the Hogwarts Forbidden Forest.

The delicate little silver cross that Benitez gave to Elena on Halloween had long been carefully hidden in a small pocket that the girl had carefully hidden as a lucky amulet and a weapon of last resort in case of emergency.

It's just that after that encounter, Elena gradually began to realize her shortcomings.

In addition to her heavy blunt weapons, she also needs to master some more agile and penetrating attacks.

Professor Snape's self-created "Shadowless" spell was naturally Elena's first choice for magic.

However, Snape was apparently much more difficult to tackle than Elena had imagined, and after a full school year, the half-blood prince still preferred to be an occasional tool man himself rather than teach Elena the magic, citing the fact that it was too dangerous.

As for the legendary "Half-Blood Prince's Potions Cheats", Elena couldn't find it in the Potions classroom storage cabinet - since the "Potions Classroom Theft" at the beginning of the school year, the storage cabinet had been reorganized by Severus Snape a long time ago, and there was nothing left in it except for some basic potions materials.

After hitting a wall in a row, Elena temporarily gave up her plan to get "Bladeless" directly from Snape.

If you think about it, the release of "Bladeless" still requires a wand as a spellcasting prop, and although it does have extremely good cutting and piercing abilities, it still relies too much on traditional wands as a combat weapon.

As a wizard, it would be ridiculous to lose your wand and be slaughtered.

However, the amplification effect of the ancient Runi Mowen is too simple, and the simple brute force improvement still has a lot of limitations in terms of functionality and versatility, which is also one of the reasons why the Runi Mowen has gradually disappeared after the Middle Ages of Magic.

Rather than simply using magic, ancient wizards often chose to master a primary weapon other than a wand.

For example, the "Gryffindor Sword" left by Godric Gryffindor, which was forged by elves thousands of years ago and claimed to be invincible, with magical magic and penetrating power......

For example......

"Hekate of the Polar Night, the exclusive magic weapon created by the Gringotts elves for the supreme fairy queen for more than three months, is made of mysterious heterochromatic magic metal, with strong magical malleability, sharp enough to pierce the leather of most known creatures, and can be broken down into hundreds of small flying blades within a certain range......"

Elena shook the little cross with her fingers, and Douglas's introduction came to mind.

This cross was the finished product that Douglas the Goblin had secretly given her at noon at the Quidditch pitch today - which is why the "Lunch Escort" lineup was so luxurious, but the rest of the team didn't know it.

The name "Hecate of the Polar Night" comes from an extremely powerful goddess in ancient Greek legend.

She is an irresistible god of death, an invincible, invincible empress, the founder and administrator of hell, a goddess of witchcraft, witches, spells, and witches, a goddess who controls the sky, the earth, and the sea, and is one of the few unmarried goddesses.

Hekate, on the other hand, also gave luck or bad luck as he pleased, with unrestricted privileges......

Needless to say, the elves showed admirable intelligence and a strong desire to survive in how they served the new Empress, and even the fastidious Elena could not admit that the goblins of Gringotts did make her happy.

The goblins have extremely advanced attainments in the casting of magic weapons and magic armor.

Just as wizards never let goblins gain access to wand knowledge, goblins hide the secrets of their magic from wizards, only that weapons and armor made with elven magic are almost indestructible.

The gold galleons minted by the Gringotts Wizarding Bank can be seen as a typical goblin creation.

Of course, with the new Lord of Gringotts and the first Goblin Queen ascending to the throne, it may be that Elena can't force the elves to give away the last secret they live on, but it's still easy to get yourself a small weapon for self-defense.

In fact, Transfiguration is nothing more than a way to unfold the "Hecate of the Polar Night......

Elena glanced at Newt Scamander, whose face was a little solemn, and smiled slightly with satisfaction.

Obviously, for this old man who is approaching the age of 100, the deterrent and shock brought by this unheard-of magic weapon and the unbridled use of transfiguration is no less than the "mutiny" incident of the three-headed dog.

All equal negotiation and cooperation need to be built on the basis of equal strength.

Compared with using Grindelwald's power and the flames of the three-headed dog Lou Wei to deter Newt, if his own strength can pose a certain threat to Newt, in Elena's opinion, it may be the most fundamental and important point.

And judging from the current situation, the initial effect has been achieved.

The next step is to lighten the mood a little and try to break the icebreaker part of teamwork building.

"Dear Mr. Scamander, then. ”

Elena put away the cross in her hand, turned her head to look at Newt Scamander, and said with a sweet smile.

"Did you ever play with blocks when you were a kid, or did you dissect a Yorkshire pig from a non-magical world......?"
