The Mediterranean, an ancient sea, has a mystical legend that has been passed down for a long time.

Ralph and they didn't stay here long before leaving.

There may be a lot of secrets here, but they don't have the desire to explore them.

Moreover, due to the special geographical location of this sea, there are not many fish living in it, and even Ralph and Sophia's simple appetite cannot be satisfied.

Leaving the Mediterranean, they crossed the Atlantic and eventually landed in North America.

Seeing more land, the scene of sea and sky makes Ralph and Sophia very kind, whether it is the wet sea breeze or the seabirds in the sky, they are the objects of Ralph and Sophia's teasing.

Fly against the wind, use your magic to reverse the direction of the wind, divide the hurricane, make sure that the wind rolls upwards and joins the sea, driving the sea to turn, small fish falling into the whirlpool, and so on.

Needless to say, the seabirds were startled by Sophia, and their feathers fluttered and bird droppings poured down, which greatly satisfied the waiting fish below, and Ralph did not want to eat them.

Sometimes, when the weather is clear and the humidity in the air is high, Ralph and the others can even see a mirage.

If they are idle, they go back and chase the mirage until it disappears.

If there is some reef or a shallow body of water where the mirage is gone, Ralph will release a small electric current to shock the surrounding waters.

Because in shallow water, where the vanishing point of a mirage is attached, it is easy to present a magical animal, which is a mirage.

These are magical beings born of marine shellfish, who are able to release substances that dissolve into the seawater, and as the sea water evaporates, under the effect of their own magic, they gather above themselves, thus reflecting a scene.

Quite amazingly, the scenes they reflect are the real history of this planet, a part of the world.

The larger the rings, the older and more realistic the reflection age, and Muggles have seen islands full of dinosaurs when they sailed the seas, and that is the ability of older mirages.

The mirages create mirages mainly to attract other animals at sea, luring them into falling into the water and drowning in order to obtain better food.

Why would Ralph be so obsessed with mirages?

Because when they were young, their mothers would bring back some mirages for them to eat every once in a while, so that they would have adequate nutrition to grow and develop.

That's when they became obsessed with the taste of mirage meat.

The taste is more when eaten raw, and the taste is better when fully cooked, and it is best to be half-cooked and half-cooked.

It's just a pity that Ralph and they didn't find any trace of a mirage.

Although mirages have magical abilities, their intelligence is extremely low, they cannot effectively control the reflected scenes, and they also have different escape methods than other shellfish or even fish.

When stimulated by the external environment and feel threatened, they secrete a light green mist to envelop themselves, and then fly towards the surface of the water, flying fast in one direction against the surface of the water for a period of time, and then falling back into the water.

After a while, resting and playing, the calmer water gradually became choppy, and a darker line in the distance caught Ralph's eyes.

North America, it's almost here.

At the same time, the U.S. Department of Magic has also received information that two ptarmigas are gathering dark clouds and moving towards the North American continent, and the target is likely to be them.

When it comes to dealing with the Thunderbird landing, the U.S. Ministry of Magic is very familiar with it, and they even know most of the trips of the Thunderbird.

To sort out the good news, the Ministry of Magic informed the Muggle government that there might be thunderstorms in these areas, allowing them to introduce their own experts to explain to the population.

At the same time, the Auror Command and the Memory Write-off Command are on standby and ready to work.

Ever since they set up the Ptarmigan as a protected animal, there seem to be more ptarmigans coming to the American wizarding world.

The Thunderbirds are located in North America

, the location was chosen by a wise man, and I don't know if he saw the scene when the U.S. Department of Magic listed the Thunderbird as a protected animal in the future.

Nowadays, the Thunderbirds live well in North America, and they are used to bringing clouds to cover their bodies when they travel, and even if there is a mistake, the local Ministry of Magic will help clean up the traces in time.

The clan land is not a specific place in the real world, but in a hidden space, and the possession of this hidden space is not known to anyone or the Thunderbird except for the original owner of the clan land.

It only leaves a space entrance to the outside world for the people to enter and exit.

In front of me is a high mountain, full of greenery, and the top of the mountain is shrouded in clouds and mist, and it touches the sky, as if inserted into the sky.

Following the guidance of the bloodline, Ralph determined that the entrance was at the top of the mountain.

Led by Sophia, Ralph flew towards the top of the mountain, and in their field of vision, a circle of light with a faint electric light loomed at the top of the mountain, which was obviously the entrance.

"I don't know if other magical creatures can see this entrance? Or is it just for the Thunderbirds?"

With this doubt, Ralph landed on the top of the mountain, which was still quite empty, without any vegetation or trees, as if the space had been stretched by magic, and he folded his wings and jumped into the circle of light.

Passing through the aperture, Ralph visibly felt a wave of magic pass through him, testing his body, blood, and magic.

It seems that it is not unreasonable for the entrance of the clan land to be simply placed here, at least it has a good detection system, which can judge the race and prevent other species from entering, that is, I don't know if the phoenix can pass this detection?

Through a film of lightning, a world filled with faint electric glows appeared in Ralph's eyes.

Although the air seemed calm, Ralph could feel the vast amount of electricity hidden beneath the calm.

When he appeared, his body immediately attracted a large amount of electric light, and the electric light rushed to Ralph, beating on Ralph's body, crispy and numb, making Ralph extremely comfortable.

A world where land and water are about half apart. Vegetation is scarce, and it is difficult to see densely grown vegetation, which grows sparsely on not particularly fertile land.

Ralph and the others appeared at the top of a low hill, and on the side of it was a tree with electricity swimming all over it.

At first glance, the current on the branches and young leaves is far more than in other places, perhaps because the current in those places is as fresh and active as its location.

At the branch of the tree, there was a large nest on which was perched a ptarmigan, which looked very old and was a male, whose feathers had lost a lot of luster and were dark.

At this time, he was standing on his lair, his head drooping, his eyes squinting, enjoying the sunshine from the sky. It seemed that the commotion caused by Ralph just now did not alarm him.

The time here is the same as the outside world, according to Sophia, there is also a change of day and night and the changing seasons in the clan land, and although the thunderclouds in the sky are always there, there are times when they disperse.

However, due to the thunderbird's nature of loving thunder and lightning, the weather here is still mainly cloudy, and the most common situation is the transfer of thunderclouds from one place to another, allowing sunlight or moonlight to shine.

Ralph looked at Sophia and gestured to the old ptarmigan, who was napping on top of the nest.

"Let's go, don't disturb the rest."

Sophia said that Sophia was a little afraid of these old ptarmigans in the clan, and if it weren't for Ralph coming back, she probably wouldn't even want to go back.

And this old Thunderbird is the gatekeeper of the clan.

This job is quite leisurely, except that when the Pttarmigian chicks return to the clan land, it may take some time to tidy them up and lead them to the academy, everything is fine, and it is a very suitable job for the elderly.

Of course, the jobs offered in the clan are all suitable for retirement, in addition to serving as the patriarch, and these positions are chosen by these old guys themselves.

The fertility rate of the Thunderbird clan has not been high, so the workload of the gatekeeper is not large, and a shift system is also implemented here, and the older Thunderbirds

They take the initiative to sign up, and the rotation will be arranged by the clan.

As for why Sophia doesn't want to come back, it's because the birth rate of the Thunderbird clan is not high, and whenever they see men and women of the right age, these clan elders will pester them, asking them to choose a good partner and go to conceive children together.

Although Sophia has not yet reached that age, there are already many clan elders who are optimistic about her, thinking that her physique is enough to give birth to more excellent offspring, and she can conceive a few more times.

God knows how Sophia felt after knowing about this matter, and she was directly furious.

Since this period of time is not the main stage for the young ptarmigan chicks to return to the clan land, at this time the thunderbirds who will return to the clan land are all young and above, and the entrance to the clan land has the function of automatic recognition, so the gatekeeper did not pay special attention to the entry and exit of the thunderbirds, so that he ignored the outlier Ralph.

Thunderbirds like Ralph who seem to be born with a purpose are rare, but not impossible, and either die early or grow into an accomplisher.

The two of them carefully stepped on the ground a little farther away before flapping their wings and flying away.

After a long while, the doorkeeper woke up, opened his sleepy eyes, looked around, "I always feel like a bird was talking to me just now", after thinking about it, the uncle put his head under one of the wings, and slept even deeper.

Sophia didn't take Ralph directly to the clan academy, but took him around other places first.

Led by Sophia, they came to the bottom of a dark cloud, a large lake that shimmered in the breeze and shimmered with electricity from time to time.

"Big brother, do you know why I brought you to this lake?"

Sophia asked Ralph in a whisper.

"Huh? Why?"

Ralph asked, tilting his head, a little confused.

"Look at the clouds on the lake, is there no thunder and lightning in them?"

Sophia led Ralph and said.

"That's true, and then?"

Ralph looked at the dark clouds in the sky, and there was not a single flash of thunder in them.

"Big brother, you're stupid! If there is no thunder and lightning, it means that there will be no other ptarmigan here, it is safe, and we can steal fish to our heart's content!"

Sophia said with some excitement, but she had to suppress her voice.

"Stealing fish?"

When did Ralph hear this, his eyes widened, when did he start stealing fish? He didn't know at all.

Sensing Ralph's astonishment, Sophia began to explain to him.

Due to the nature of the clan, the creatures that can survive here are adapted to the high-energy environment, and have more or less some electricity and magic in their bodies.

And the lakes that Sophia pointed out are where the elders of the clan stocked their fish.

It is conceivable that the fish grown up in this water full of electricity naturally tastes very much in line with the taste of the ptarmigan.

At that time, when Sophia was still in the school, the clan would provide them with food and lodging, and there would be an electric grilled charged lake fish once a week, which was deeply loved by everyone, including the second brother Aiden.

With the temptation again and again, the little ones knew where these fish came from, and they began to steal fish in an "exciting" way.

At that time, it can be said that it was really organized and disciplined, who inquired about information, who was letting off steam, who delayed the attention of the clan elders, who caught fish, etc., and everyone was serious and responsible for their posts.

After tasting the sweetness, they were very happy.

The clan elders also found that there were fewer and fewer fish in the lake, and after a check, they found that it was a thief.

Then, the little ptarmigans were beaten, and if their parents were nearby, they were also invited to come over and educate the next generation together.

Although they were beaten severely, Sophia still did it many times, and after that, they learned to be smart, and they no longer only slammed at a lake, but also stopped catching small fish, catching juvenile fish was the vast majority of their education.

After being skilled, some small thunderbirds can already complete stealing alone

The fish acted.

At the end of the day, it's more about enjoying that psychology than the taste of fish.

Therefore, after returning to the clan land, Sophia's first thought was to steal fish, not anything else.

She asked Ralph to stay aside and let him see his performance.

Sophia flies on the surface of the lake and scares away a lot of fish in an instant, but she has her own tricks.

I saw Sophia scatter some electrified white debris on the surface of the lake, and after a while, the fish flashed with electric light, slowly approaching.

Some of the fish pioneers in front tentatively probed forward, and then retreated reluctantly, startling the fish and almost scattering.

Subsequently, these fish pioneers determined the safety in front of them, tasted the food first, and the electric light on their bodies became brighter.

After a while, the other fish finally couldn't take it anymore and swam over to eat.

When they were all fascinated, Sophia used thunder and lightning to weave a net, and the gap was a little large, and this time, she was going to catch only the big fish.

Her method of turning thunder into a net made Ralph look straight and nod, indicating that he was not teaching in vain.

These thunderbolts were all cast with [Thunder and Lightning Healing], and when they were submerged in the lake, they did not attract the attention of those fish, but felt more comfortable.

Just as Sophia was carefully preparing to reel in the net, Ralph noticed an extra ptarmigan beside her.

As soon as he turned his head, he saw him, a huge body, looking at him kindly, and his eyebrows were the same as his, with a blue lightning stripe, hidden in the yellow.

He gestured to Ralph, who understood what he meant and told him not to speak.

Ralph began to mourn for his sister.
