The entrance to the Thunderbird Sanctuary is a baroque building leaning on the mountain, with a simple and elegant appearance, and the overall dark red color, which is in harmony with the natural environment.

But the walls were covered with the bird's droppings of the Thunderbird, like a thick blanket.

Rove had only been here once, many years ago, and wasn't very impressed with the reserve, but Margaery had been a frequent visitor lately, visiting Newt and Tina.

Therefore, she went through all the formalities with ease, without Rove having to worry about it at all, and finally rented a jeep.

When the jeep plunged headlong into the deserted Gobi Desert, Rove soon learned why Margaery rented a car instead of riding a broomstick.

It's so hot!

Arizona has a subtropical continental arid and semi-arid climate, surrounded by deserts, with a maximum temperature of nearly 50 degrees...... It's a big stove!

Even when sitting in the car, the heat wave still rushed violently, and the feeling was like being hugged by a passionate bear hug from a runner who was covered in heat...... Very hot and sticky.

In this kind of environment, let alone riding a broomstick, standing outside for a few minutes is afraid that you will become dehydrated.

The wizards at the entrance to the reserve were aware of this and therefore provided Muggle transportation to visitors.

However, with Rove here, he doesn't have to worry about the heat, he has the magic "Frost Power" from Cabrolong, which can reduce the temperature in the car by consuming mana.

It can be said that Rove is currently a walking air conditioner.

When the hot problem is solved, you have to pay attention to sun protection, such strong ultraviolet radiation, if you don't pay attention to sun protection, you will not stay for a few days, and you will have to become African.

Margaery, who is experienced in this area, saw her sitting in the passenger seat, pouring some sunscreen on her fingertips, and gently applying her slender legs.

From thighs to calves, even the white and tender feet, she didn't let go.

After Margaery finished applying it, she handed the bottle over and said in a greasy voice, "Rove, help my sister apply sunscreen, I can't reach my back."

"What are you wearing on your back?" Rove was speechless, "No matter how strong the ultraviolet rays are, they can still burn your back?"

"I have obsessive-compulsive disorder, don't you know?" Margaery laughed, "If you want to wear sunscreen, you must apply it all over your body."

「……」

I don't know why, the temperature in the car was obviously very low under Rove's control, but he still felt a trace of heat.

Merlin, damn the weather, you have the ability to get hotter!

The weather was too hot, not only Rove was irritable, but even the magical creatures hid, and the boy drove for half an hour without seeing a single animal.

At a glance, there is only the vast barren Gobi desert in the field of vision, and the cramped highway is like a yellow and turbid stream, winding in the desert, and the jeep is a lonely boat.

It wasn't until he came across a long forest of cacti that Rove stopped his car and walked towards the tall cactus.

The most common plant in the desert area is the cactus, but the cactus in front of you is not an ordinary species.

They are called "Giants' Pillars", and as the name suggests, they are gigantic cactus trees that can reach up to 20 meters in height...... Among the cacti, it can be called a towering giant tree. ….

When the Giant Pillar grows to a certain age, it grows branches, like arms raised upward, forming a huge candelabra-like shape with the main trunk.

Numerous huge cyan thorn pillars stood tall and lined up in the desert wilderness, stretching out thousands of giant arms into the sky...... The scene was extremely shocking.

The Giant's Pillar is also unique to Arizona, and is not even cultivated in Professor Sprout's greenhouse.

Margaery also got out of the car, wrapped in a sun-protective suit and holding an umbrella, blocking most of the umbrella over Rove's head.

Seeing the young man shoveling up the cactus, she was curious:

"You're going to transplant it into a crate?"

"That's right." Rove nodded.

"When did you become interested in plants?" Margaery raised her beautiful eyebrows and said, "I thought you were only interested in animals

It's going to be."

"I can control the growth of plants." Rove explained, "It's pretty good to fight someone else with these giant pillars."

When the giant cactus rises, the row of spikes shoots out again, turning the opponent into a hedgehog...... It's exciting to think about.

It's not easy to get to the Thunderbird Sanctuary, so Rove plans to transplant more Giant Pillars and give Neville a few.

Margaery waved her wand, the parasol floated in mid-air, and she crouched down, put on her dragon skin gloves, and began to help dig up the cactus.

Margaery dug up a large rock and was suddenly surprised, "Hey, a petrified lizard."

Rove turned his head to look and saw a large lizard, covered in strangely shaped black scales, curled up into a ball.

But it passed out, and Margaery poked the lizard with her stick, and laughed dumbly:

"Rove, this little guy is getting heat stroke."

Rove looked at the petrified lizard, and suddenly there was a "ding" sound in his brain.

[A petrified lizard detected with thermal radiation sickness triggers side quest 1:]

Help the petrified lizard heal heat radiation sickness with a bonus of magic:

【Turning things into stones】

[Consumes mana to petrify any object]

【Side Mission 2】

Complete 100% Taming of Petrified Lizards, rewarding Mana:

【Rock Solid】

[Make the body as hard as a stone (Note: you can make some organs of the body as hard as a stone)]

「……」

The petrification of a petrified lizard is not the same as the petrification of a basilisk, the petrification of a basilisk only stiffens the wizard's body, but it is still that body.

And the petrification of the petrified lizard really turns objects into stone.

Of course, the magic of "rock solid" does not really turn into stone, but has the hardness of stone.

Rove picks up the petrified lizard that has suffered from heat stroke and prepares to take it back to the car and give it anti-heat medicine.

In any case, the second skill must be learned.

The bird snake only gave him an extraordinary length, but length does not mean hardness, and now he finally made up for the shortcomings.

Rove and Margaery returned to the jeep and continued to drive on, when he suddenly saw a young girl standing on the side of the road, waving vigorously at them.

The girl's costume was strange, a whole piece of light-colored deerskin was draped over her shoulders in the shape of a cloak, and a rectangular piece of tanned skin was wrapped around the lower body to form a leather skirt.

On the girl's feet, she also wears tanned boots and leggings, which hang down to the knees and buckle the lower end to the tanned boots.

"It's Native American." Margaery frowned.

There were Muggles among the native Americans of North America, and there were also some wizard-like beings, and their relationship with wizards was very complicated.

Not wanting to get in trouble, Rove spun the wheel around the girl.

But the girl suddenly fell to her knees and kowtowed vigorously to the jeep.

「……」
