Chapter 12: The Griffin
After giving Benjamin a science popularization, Krutum began to focus his energy on his crucible. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Benjamin asked with some curiosity as he picked through his materials:
"Professor, do you usually refine potions here?"
"I see what you mean," Krutum paused, "I've actually done quite a few projects, but you can't keep up with your current situation." For example, I'm curious right now, is there a difference between the electricity that Muggles use and the electricity that we wizards create? ”
Benjamin was a little surprised.
"Professor, you're also interested in the relationship between science and magic?"
Benjamin thinks he might have found a soulmate.
"Oh, of course. We all say we can't hurt Muggles, though. But in reality, the number of wizards we can't compete with that of Muggles. And now their technology is becoming more and more developed, and it is we who are starting to be at a disadvantage. ”
At this moment, the Lich Clown, who had not appeared for a long time, suddenly had a word in Benjamin's mind.
"This professor of yours is a rare person who understands. And his magical roots are not bad. ”
However, Krutum sniffed hard in the air, "How do I feel, I smell a strange smell? Is there a dead mouse?"
Benjamin stifled a hard laugh, "Professor, you must be hallucinating, where are the dead rats here!"
However, he was a little surprised that when the lich was invisible, according to his own words, it could not be detected.
But as soon as he speaks, there will be subtle fluctuations in mana.
And Krutum apparently perceived.
"Well, that could be if I've been here too long. Krutum shrugged, "Your name is Benjamin, right, Benjamin, are you hungry, let's go to the restaurant for dinner?"
Actually, Benjamin was a little hungry. Of course, he did not refuse Krutum's kindness, and followed him out of the research room.
It's just that Krutum didn't take Benjamin to the school cafeteria, instead, he actually left the school with Benjamin.
"Where are we going?"
Benjamin asked, puzzled, even if it was only September weather, and now a random gust of wind was blowing, and it was enough cold.
I don't know how cold it will be in winter here.
"Oh, of course I'm not going to take you to the school cafeteria. I'll give you a taste of authentic German roast pig's trotters and grilled sausages. You'll love it then. ”
Krutum said with a smile, and he asked again:
"You're not an adult yet, are you? That's a shame, otherwise, delicious food with a bottle of dark beer would definitely be the most enjoyable thing!"
Benjamin suddenly laughed, and he realized that this Professor Krutum was probably the most down-to-earth professor he had ever met.
"I'm still some time away from adulthood, but can't I drink a little secretly?"
Krutum laughed, however.
"Hey, you kid, no problem, I'm not going to tell anyone anyway. ”
Krutum patted Benjamin the shoulder.
After the two of them walked out of the campus, they came to the forest.
Just when Benjamin thought they needed to walk through the forest, Krutum pulled a whistle out of his pocket.
When the crisp and penetrating whistle sounded, a huge eagle flew over.
Benjamin roughly estimated that the eagle was probably the size of a dragon.
It was terrible, its dark eyes staring at it, its sharp claws digging into the dirt.
The most terrifying thing is that its body is no different from that of a lion, except that its head is an eagle.
"Benjamin don't be afraid, this is Kiana, my pet, a griffin. Although it looks quite fierce, Kiana is actually a good boy, and she is not yet an adult!"
Benjamin didn't know what to say for a moment, so he just smiled and nodded.
"But there don't seem to be many such creatures as griffons anymore. ”
Benjamin could only start scraping his knowledge base.
"Yes, griffons are rare. In fact, they are similar to dragons, they are all kept in captivity. It's impossible for you to run into them in the wild. ”
Krutum explained earnestly.
At this time, Kiana immediately raised her head and screamed loudly.
"I met him when he was very young, when he was a chick. It's just a chick that has been abandoned by its parents. Krutum stroked Kiana's neck and began to remember.
"Abandon?" Benjamin was surprised. He also thought it was Krutum who bought it himself.
"That's right, maybe his parents thought it was too ugly?" Kiana immediately shook her head unhappily, "I saw it in the snow anyway." At first, I thought it was just an ordinary eagle, so I raised it, and who knew it was a griffin. But once I knew who it was, the little guy couldn't live without me. ”
Krutum said with a smile.
Kiana, on the other hand, was more like a big dog, rubbing Krutum's hand very meekly.
I have to say that the picture of the two people at this time is still very warm.
If it weren't for the fact that the wind was so cold, and Benjamin was wearing too little, he wouldn't have interrupted the heartwarming scene.
"Well, Professor, although I think this story is quite touching. But shouldn't we go? After all, we can carry it as we go. ”
Krutum immediately showed an embarrassed expression, "Hey, look at my memory, I can't remember this all the time." Okay, let's go to the restaurant over there. ”
Krutum leaned down and whispered a few words in Kiana's ear, and the griffin lowered himself.
Benjamin sat down as well, and felt a rush of comfort and warmth as his legs touched the griffin's soft fur.
I have to say that riding a griffin is probably much more comfortable than riding a horse.
"Well, don't you think griffons are very intelligent creatures?"
Benjamin nodded approvingly, "I don't think I'll ever forget what I experienced in the future." It feels so comfortable to ride on it. ”
Kiana seemed to smirk.
Then it spread its huge wings, kicked its feet hard, and flew directly into the sky.
They fly in the wind......
