Although Pei Chen's first class was essentially just a test of the waters, it was not a failure overall, or it was very successful.

Even though so many people rushed into the Forbidden Forest in one go, there would still be some small surprises even if they didn't go too deep. However, since it has been explained that there is a 'little accident', then there is naturally no danger, only two Gryffindor boys who are not very comfortable have suffered a little skin trauma.

However, I heard that Hagrid's team had encountered a few spiders the size of horses, but fortunately nothing happened. Afterwards, Pei Chen asked Hagrid, but the big man changed the topic after a few words, obviously not wanting to talk more about this topic, so Pei Chen didn't care.

After carefully holding a few special iron cages and closing the homework handed in by the students, Pei Chen couldn't help but stretch and yawn. He is now experimenting with his newly acquired [Potion Configuration LV1] support ability, and he is directly using the feathers on the Tree Protector Cauldron to test his skills.

After all, handling materials is also the basic requirement of this skill, and in less than a day, almost one-third of the more than two dozen tree protection pots handed in by the students were plucked by him.

"The success rate is too low, and the skill level of level 1 is really not enough...... It's a pity that I don't have enough brilliant gems on hand right now, and the potential points are too precious......" Pei Chen shook his head, "Maybe next time I'll have to try to make the legendary elixir?" Uh, wouldn't that be too risky......"

His slender fingers casually flipped through a book on Potions, his face a little tangled.

……

……

"Do you want chocolate?" Dumbledore pushed over a box very enthusiastically, and Pei Chen immediately smelled a faint smell of wine very keenly.

"No thanks." He sat down and directly rejected the other party's kindness.

"And what about the cockroach pile? This is my favorite, can you try one? "Lao Deng has become more enthusiastic, as if he is a very self-motivated salesman.

“……”

Staring at the lifelike cockroaches that were squeezed and stacked together, the corners of Pei Chen's eyes twitched, and then he sighed decisively and said, "I suddenly found that in my mind, I always thought that wine chocolate was the most beautiful thing in the world...... With it, how could I possibly like other snacks?! ”

As he spoke, he quickly reached out and pulled over the chocolate box in front of Whitebeard Wizard.

"......" Dumbledore's face twitched, and his smile disappeared, he found out for the first time that this guy didn't take the face of the same thing at all, and the words he had just said seemed to be blown away by the wind in the blink of an eye, and he slapped himself in the face, which was called a ruthless and ruthless.

"Did the class go well?" Dumbledore asked, he really couldn't understand why this guy came to his place, "I heard that you haven't taken the initiative to greet other professors since you took office, do you want me to arrange it during this Halloween dinner?" ”

"Well, this is up to you, but I won't necessarily be there then...... Pei Chen said, but he secretly despised it in his heart, if this old fox really wanted to do this, he should have arranged it a long time ago, instead of waiting until Halloween, although there are not many days left before this festival.

"Yes, young people are just good, energetic...... old Deng squinted his eyes slightly and said with a smile. Although his tone was gentle, what he said almost didn't make Pei Chen squirt out the chocolate in his mouth, "However, I still hope you pay attention to it, although the teacher-student love school is not prohibited, but the reputation is not very good...... Especially the boys and girls that your professor came into contact with, the oldest of whom were at least seven years behind you......"

Resisting the urge to punch this smiling old man's nose, Pei Chen said coldly: "You have too many slots in your words, so I won't complain...... I'm here to discuss something with you. ”

Slots? What is that? Dumbledore's eyes flashed with confusion, but he didn't look deeper. "Oh, what's the matter? First of all, it is explained that only regular employees can ask the school for a salary increase, and substitute teachers are not counted. ”

"I want phoenix tears." Although Lao Deng has been trying his best to create a harmonious and friendly atmosphere of dialogue, Pei Chen doesn't care about the so-called speaking skills, and directly says what he means.

After saying that, he looked at the phoenix Fawkes on a shelf by the window, the big fiery red bird still hated him incomparably, and was about to pounce. Looking at this, Pei Chen's act of punching it out a few days ago attracted a lot of hatred.

The phoenix is a magnificent, bright red bird similar in size to a swan, with a long, golden tail, and a long, golden beak and claws. Fox obviously fits all of the above characteristics very well, that is, the strength is not too top-notch.

However, the most valuable thing about the phoenix is not its aggressiveness, but the anti-heaven attribute of [immortality].

No one can actually kill a phoenix because it can be reborn.

At least the wizards and Pei Chen in this world have no means to completely put this species to death, at most, they can let it complete a life cycle in advance, delete the number and retrain.

"This ......" Although Lao Deng didn't ask what was the use of coming, his face was obviously very embarrassed.

"What's wrong? Are there any difficulties? Pei Chen frowned slightly, he didn't think there was anything embarrassing about just asking for a few tears, just like the two unicorns he caught, if it weren't for the vicious curse, he would have decisively peeled the skin and cramped and bloodshed, cut the flesh, pulled the horns and cut the hooves...... All the means are used again, and you don't have to worry about squeezing out the value of those two unicorns.

And now it's just a few tears.

"I'm nominally Fawkes' master, but it's very assertive...... Dumbledore explained, "and I can't give you the Phoenix Tears if it doesn't want to." ”

Pei Chen understood now: "Then what do you mean......"

"Go negotiate with Fox yourself! If it agrees, you just want a tail feather. The whitebearded wizard said with a helpless look.

Pei Chen naturally had a contemptuous attitude towards such a scoundrel throwing the ball, but he couldn't say anything, so he could only turn his head and take a closer look at the big fiery red bird known as the phoenix, wanting to see if he could deceive something valuable from the other party.

However, looking at Fox's fried hair, as if he would burst out and hurt people at any time, and flying over with the appearance of a claw, Pei Chen could only reluctantly dispel his thoughts. He turned his head to Lao Deng and asked, "What, if I beat it hard, will it give me tears?" ”

That's right! If you can't deceive the other party's tears, you will make the other party cry, although the nature of the incident will become very bad, but in terms of the result, it is still acceptable.

But it was clear that this offer would not be accepted by Dumbledore.

……

……

A little disappointed, Pei Chen left the principal's office and walked down to the castle hall on the first floor.

In the past few days, many students have known about his existence, and he doesn't have to hide from it.

However, many of the students would hang behind him, or whisper as he passed by, excitedly discussing something. This caused Pei Chen neither big nor small trouble, but he had no choice, after all, it was impossible for the other party to turn around and ruthlessly kill the other party because he was walking behind him for a while or saying something to himself, right?

Since you can't stop it, you can only let it go.

Pei Chen, who is super adaptable, quickly ignored these annoying paparazzi.

However, there were several students who would greet him politely when they passed by, which made Pei Chen's mood much better.

"You, you...... Found you. Hermione's voice, which had not been seen for two days, came from behind, Pei Chen stopped and turned around, and saw the little girl holding several thick books, bending down behind him and gasping for breath, obviously in a hurry.

He stepped forward to take all the books in her arms, and stood there waiting for Hermione to breathe her breath, before he said unhurriedly, "I'm here, and I won't run away, what are you anxious about?" ”

"You, it's easy for you to say, but I can't find you these days...... There is no office and no residence...... Ghosts are easier to find than you! The little girl glared at him.

"Huh? Is it? After thinking about it, he found that if he had either gone to the Forbidden Forest or been in the Room of Request in the past two days, it seemed normal to not find a trace, Pei Chen nodded and said, "Okay, I think it's wrong...... But what are you looking for me for? ”

"What, what's wrong? Can't I come to you if there's nothing to do? Hermione's big brown eyes flashed with a hint of panic, and she said stiffly.

"Okay, I think I understand......" Just thinking about it for a while, combined with Xiao Lori's popularity and social situation, Pei Chen was able to easily determine the reason - isn't it that he is the only one who can speak in almost the entire school?

"I'm going to Hagrid's hut, do you want to come along?" He extended an invitation to the girl.

"Go there? Do? Hermione was a little puzzled, and she didn't know Hagrid well, so it might be a little awkward to follow.

"Deal with those two unicorns, of course! You can't stay there forever, can you? Besides, Halloween is two days away, and it won't be fun to starve them to death if you forget to take care of them......"

"Halloween!" Little Lori's eyes lit up, "There has been a notice, tomorrow morning we only need to take a Charms class and a class in Herbology to have a holiday...... Don't know what Halloween is like at Hogwarts? ”

While speaking, Pei Chen pushed open the gate of the castle and let her go out first.

The two walked side by side down the long stone staircase in the direction of the school grounds.

Pei Chen didn't return the books he was holding to Hermione, and Hermione seemed to be very comfortable letting Pei Chen help her hold them, without the slightest respect for other professors and lecturers. The relationship between these two people does not have the feeling of teacher and student at all, but is more like a pair of good friends who can talk to each other with a large age difference.

"It's amazing, is this your Oriental magic?"

Seeing that the cyan aura that seemed to be absent around her body, it was directly isolated from the cold of the outside world, Hermione couldn't help but ask.

"You can understand it that way, too." Pei Chen shrugged.

The two of them walked as they talked, and soon came to the door of Hagrid's hut.

Pei Chen stretched out his hand and knocked on the wooden door a few times, and soon heard a series of noises inside, Pei Chen was easily able to make up the big Hagrid according to such a sound, and he hurriedly stood up and wanted to come over to open the door, but he bumped into a scene of a bunch of things.

"Hey, mercury? Come on in! It just so happens that Harry is ...... now Huh? Who is this little girl? ”

The door opened, and Hagrid poked his head out and warmly invited Pei Chen in.
