"Hey, you're asking the right question."

Hagrid's black beetle-like eyes sparkled when he heard this, and there was nothing he didn't know about magical creatures.

"I've been trying this recently."

Hagrid deliberately kept his voice down, but even if he did, it was as loud as a tweeter.

"I'm telling you secretly, I found a sphinchin-tailed beast in the forest north of the Forbidden Forest."

Hagrid said with a mysterious look on his face.

The Sphin-tailed Scorpiontail is a creature with a human head, a lion's torso, and a scorpion's tail, and its tail is like a scorpion with deadly stingers that can be fired in any direction, killing anyone who stings them instantly.

The fur of the human-headed scorpion-tailed scorpion-tailed beast repelled almost all known spells, and although it was not as large as the thousand-year-old basilisk, it was also among the ranks of large beasts, and it was considered extremely dangerous in the wizarding world, and of course it was just as rare.

By the way, the Sphinx, like the eight-eyed spider, is also a magical creature that likes to eat people.

"The little one seems to have been separated from his parents, and a beast was in that forest, thanks to having met me. Now that we're friends, it's a pity that there's no second human-headed sphinx in the Forbidden Forest, and I've found a mate for it. ”

Hagrid didn't say exactly how he met the human-headed sphinx, but it wouldn't be a pleasant thing to think about, for the human-headed sphinx.

"Little one?" Hear Hagrid's description.

Dudley's mind automatically conjured up the image of a human-headed sphin-tailed manticore.

Tall and fierce.

Anyway, it definitely has nothing to do with Xiaoxiao.

"What are you looking for him?"

Dudley's face was odd.

"A bunch of female fire crabs!" Hagrid excitedly said, "I think they're a good fit. ”

Hagrid must have not followed the advice of the other party (the sphinx) in this search.

The Sphinx is not a simple beast, it has the same intelligence as Aragog and the Sphinx. On the other hand, the fire crab is really a magical creature with no IQ, and it is also an aquatic type.

The fire crab is to the human-headed sphinx and manticore, and the king crab is to the human.

I want to make something happen to people and king crabs. There has to be a place to go. bar.

However, according to the original timeline, Hagrid had the Sphinx and the Fire Crab successfully bred a new species, the Fried Snail, a dangerous new species of magical creature that was useless for eggs.

It is common sense that there is reproductive isolation between species, and the isolation between magical beasts and magical beasts is even more obvious.

Being able to cross two magical creatures that don't match at all and successfully breed new species, Hagrid is a breeding genius.

Maybe he really has a way.

So Dudley said what he wanted.

"I want to breed a batch of carnivorous slugs with shells."

There are no such species as magic snails or magical snails in the wizarding world, and the only magical creatures that can be considered snail relatives are these carnivorous slugs.

In Dudley's mind, the only snail that can have anything to do with magic is the light snail of the protagonist group in "Lightbringer".

It's a pity that Dudley can't get it for the time being.

But he is not good at breeding magical beasts, he only has the skill of domestication, and he has not obtained the skill of breeding, which would be best if Hagrid could do it.

"Carnivorous slugs in the shell?"

Hagrid thought for a moment, then patted his chest and promised, "I don't know why you want that kind of thing, but leave it to me." ”

He seems to have a way.

"So. How long does it take? ”

Dudley asked the question that was most of his concern.

He can wait for half a year, and a year is not much of a problem, but it will be more troublesome if it is more than three years.

"Carnivorous slugs are in a state of reproduction almost anytime and anywhere, which is much more convenient than the human-headed sphinx manticore."

"About a month or two will do."

In a month or two, this time is beyond Dudley's expectations, much faster than expected, and it can definitely wait.

"Please, Hagrid."

"Hey, hey," Hagrid smirked, seemingly glad he could help.

Leaving the matter of cultivating magical snails to Hagrid for the time being, Dudley returned to the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets, located deeper in the basement.

After using illumination to create a small sun in the middle of the chamber, he searched everywhere for something.

According to the Basilisk, Slytherin kept his knowledge outside the Chamber of Secrets, as well as his own access to Hogwarts.

It's just that you need to pass the trial first.

Dudley still wants to get access to Hogwarts.

It's a pity that even with the help of the Data Magic Eye, nothing has been found.

It wasn't his first time here.

Since the Basilisk crisis was resolved, it has come almost every day.

After repeated confirmation to no avail, Dudley went to the library, got tired of Hermione for a while, and returned to his bedroom after nightfall after his daily workout.

With the light of the formation flickering on the door, Dudley sat down at the table.

Line up two blue gemstones of different sizes in a row.

Crystallization of mana

Because of the cost of making red and white balls, one piece is much smaller than the other.

It was supposed to be three, but one was made into a ring by Dudley and given to Hermione.

Dudley then pulled out another cloud of silver metal and an emerald.

These are the materials obtained by dismantling the Ravenclaw crown.

Mithril and a gem with a certain magical power.

Far from over, Dudley pulled out another object.

Haven't used much since Ollivander took it, just a wand for pretense

Iron birch, Thestrals tail feathers, nine inches.

Dudley still remembers the excitement he felt when he first got it.

It's a pity that I couldn't use it to cast half of the magic.

The wand looked shiny and undamaged, and was clearly very well maintained.

Dudley put his wand together with the materials.

He's going to try to modify his wand.

The ability to transform with a magic costume does not necessarily mean that it is impossible to create a magic item that casts spells automatically, just like a red and white ball.

Of course, by the way, Dudley also took out the third Philosopher's Stone.

The Philosopher's Stone has not been processed and retains its original ruby appearance.

As he took out the third Philosopher's Stone, the ring inadvertently touched it.

In an instant, the three Philosopher's Stones emitted a faint red light at the same time.

Before Dudley could react.

He suddenly felt a trance, and a voice sounded in his ears.

Gradually, gradually.

He seemed to see an antique fan slowly emerging in front of him. Huge doors.
