Chapter 64: "Autumn Tour"
After returning, Ricardo took a short leave of absence and arrived at the Slug Giggs Pharmacy with a small bag full of giant spider chelicera.
This potions pharmacy is a charming place filled with all sorts of interesting things. On the floor were rows of barrels of goo, and against the wall were all sorts of jars of powder and herbs, and bundles of feathers, fangs, and claws hung from the ceiling.
The whole pharmacy was very unpleasant, though, and smelled like a mixture of rotten eggs and rotten vegetables.
"See this sign?" Ricardo said, "In the name of this iconic family, I need to get things in order. ”
"Tomorrow will be fine, tomorrow will be fine."
The pharmacy owner nodded hurriedly, accepted the packet, did not ask for a processing fee, and finally sent him out respectfully.
It seems that the Worley family has quite a lot of power in the wizarding world of the British Isles.
The next morning, Ricardo came again and took a quarter of the eight-eyed spider's venom and gave it to Snape, and gave the rest to Kassandra, earning four thousand Galleons.
The market price of a pint, that is, 0.56826125 liters of eight-eyed giant spider venom, is one hundred Galleons, and giving him four thousand is a great value for money.
- This also shows that this girl carries thousands of gold gallons, or even tens of thousands.
Auntie, I don't want to ...... No, it's Sister Ka, you forgot to leash...... Phew, it's the little girl's brother who takes you to see the goldfish......
Such a big rich woman, why didn't he meet it when he was studying! Anyway, he is comparable to a reader, and he can be a little brother!
Later, Ricardo got the map drawn by Hagrid and swept through the Forbidden Forest several more times until Dumbledore couldn't stand it anymore and came to stop him.
Now, the dangerous and cannibalistic magical beasts above the four-star level have almost been slaughtered by Ricardo - maybe, probably, probably two or three mating have been left, and a few have been given to the students to practice, but as long as they are intelligent magical animals in the Forbidden Forest, they are now all in the trap and dare not do anything to humans.
As for the unintelligent, how can they stay in the Forbidden Forest?
And what about Ricardo himself? With near-perfect proficiency in offensive spells such as "Bladeless", "Shattered", and "Divided", he gradually gained experience in fighting magical beasts - until then, he had basically only fought against dark wizards.
Strangely, Ricciardo had never seen the Forbidden Centaurs that Flitwick and Hagrid had spoken of, and he had never even seen Frenze, whom Hagrid swore was close to humans.
He had dealt with a few unicorns, and he had taken a handful of tail hairs from a unicorn that he thought was going to bully his wife and children and attacked him, and sold them to Ollivander for a small profit.
He has earned quite a lot in the past few days, which has exceeded the sum of previous years, and his wallet has finally swelled.
So, Hagrid's Warden of the Forbidden Forest is the best position at Hogwarts!
Snape's Potions professor could indeed take a lot of extra money, and even take out student products directly, but it had to be technical, and it was still a little bit worse than the hunting ground guards who could be obtained at the third-year level.
……
The weather was nice and the sky was clear.
"I said at the beginning of the school year that if you do well in the seventh grade, I don't mind taking you on an autumn outing," Ricardo paced, surrounded by students who were elated and ready to enter the Forbidden Forest, "In the past six months, I have occasionally been a little unsatisfactory, but overall, you can keep up with the knowledge points of the first round of review in time, and the special exercises of the second round of review are also very good, and I am quite satisfied with you." So, I decided to fulfill my promise to start school......"
"Autumn outing?"
"That's right, I also brought a fifth-grade ...... by the way."
"This is the Autumn Outing?"
"No, that's the professor."
"Be content, at least you can come to the Forbidden Forest for a while......"
"I really want to go on an adventure, I don't know if I can ...... it"
"This autumn outing is a bit late......"
"No, it's like a chocolate frog, jumping from autumn to after Christmas."
Ricardo didn't reprimand, let it be noisy below, and continued to be cheeky:
"Let's pretend it's an autumn outing—albeit a bit of a spring outing."
"So what can we do?" Someone in Gryffindor raised their hand to ask, and their group was the most excited.
"Let's deal with a few red hats first, which I left for you when I was on the sweep, and then take a look at the physical displays of a few other magical beasts."
"Once you're done with that, we can scatter and wander around this Hogwarts back garden (where laughter can be heard, especially in a house)."
"By the way, by the way, let's talk about our study plan for the next month - don't wail, don't be irritable, it's good news."
Ricardo took a deep breath and said:
"In the next month, we will conduct daily combat practice, two-person duels, battles against fantastic beasts, etc., and try our best to let everyone have sufficient actual combat drills and quickly improve their test-taking ability to take actual combat exams."
"That's right, there is revenge and revenge in the duel field, but you must not bring your anger to the duel arena, what hatred and what resentment, if you can't beat one time, you can beat it twice, and if you can't beat it alone, you can play group picks - no more than seven people in the group, always scolding and scolding, like a child."
"Wow!!"
"Long live Professor Silva!!"
"My favorite fight!!"
"I'm going to fight ten Slytherins!"
"You're done, young man, you don't know anything about Slytherin's reputation in the dueling ring......"
"Alright, that's all the nonsense," Ricardo clapped his hands to silence, "and now, our master of the Forbidden Forest, Mr. Hagrid, an expert in magical beasts, introduces us to these magical beasts that you will be dealing with!" ”
"Huh? It's this stupid ......."
"Shut up."
Several people in Slytherin booed, but were stopped by a blonde girl.
"You...... Hello, I'm Hagrid, and this lesson introduces you to some cute little things. ”
The applause from Gryffindor and other houses rang out, and Hagrid was a little at a loss, but he still tried to keep his face on the floor and introduce the magical beasts he brought:
"It's the Red Hat, a small hard-catching creature that looks like a goblin, and you can find them wherever there is blood......"
"It's a tree-guarding cauldron, a palm-sized, insect-feeding animal that is hard to spot......"
"It's a poisonhorned ......"
"This is the Billy Wigg worm ......"
"It's ......"
The student listened attentively, with some disdain at first, but when he talked eloquently, even Slytherin's eyes carried the seriousness of listening to the lecture, and Ravenclaw remembered the old man's notes.
To be honest, this old man, who retired due to magical beasts, has cultivated a lot of magical beasts, and he has studied the aggressive ones, maybe not as good as Sylvanus Kettleburn, the professor of Magical Beasts at Hogwarts, but it is obviously more than enough to teach the knowledge of magical beasts at the level of Defense Against the Dark Arts.
And, due to his size and personal hobbies, Hagrid has a deep knowledge of aggressive magical beasts, which helped the course a lot.
