Chapter 45: The Hatching of Birds and Snakes

Facing the little wizard who appeared in the library early in the morning, Mrs. Pince was not moved by: "Ah, these children are working really hard", but with the strange emotion of "You students have come to damage my books again."

Mrs. Pince loves books very much, but in her eyes, it is best for a book to be kept brand new. Everyone turning it over once is the greatest damage to the book. This is why she doesn't like the little wizard.

After being interrogated by Mrs. Pince, Tom and Hermione finally entered the library. They first picked up a few books on magical animals, and then found an inconspicuous corner to sit down.

""Raising Fantastic Beasts", "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them", "Oviparous Magical Creatures: From Hatching to Burial"..." Hermione was speechless. What are you doing with these books? The only one in there is "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them"

It seems more reliable. Hermione looked at the series of "raising" and "hatching" in the book list, thinking deeply.

Suddenly, a flash of light flashed through her mind, and she deduced something terrible.

"You want to find a way to hatch that silver egg you got from Diagon Alley?" She lowered her voice and looked at Tom.

Tom confirmed her idea, "And I got two bottles of assisted hatching potion. Now I need to find out how to use this potion..."

Hermione suddenly became interested, and she began to quickly flip through the books that Tom got from the bookshelf, trying to find clues about "promoting the hatching of egg-laying magical animals" between the lines.

"...Wizards in the Middle Ages would put fire dragon eggs in the fire, because the female dragon would breathe on them when she hatched her own eggs... This doesn't seem to work, because I saw that there is no such thing in the book "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them"

It is said that birds and snakes are very heat-resistant.”

"Look at this, ancient Roman priests would mix volcanic ash collected in the wild with water and apply it on the eggs to be hatched. They said that this would bring together the four elements of earth, water, fire and wind, which would be conducive to the hatching of the eggs.

"Tom pointed to a sentence in the book and asked Hermione to analyze it.

"So maybe you need to apply the potion on the eggs of birds and snakes? Wait! I have the original text here: Prepare two potions and apply them on the eggs at the turn of the sun and the moon to complete the hatching." Hermione said.

The answer was found in "Fantastic Beasts that Lay Eggs".

"The sun and the moon alternate? Isn't that morning and dusk?" Tom frowned. He planned to give it a try tonight. After finding the answers they needed, their minds were no longer on the book, but on the silver star.

In the egg.

After the afternoon flying lesson ended, Tom and Hermione found an abandoned classroom with no one around and waited quietly for dusk to fall.

Tom watched the sun gradually disappear into the horizon, and immediately took out the red potion bottle, unplugged the stopper, and took a look at the potion inside. The potion was very sticky, and he didn't know if it was because it had been left out for too long.

The water inside evaporates.

"Will this potion lose its effectiveness after being stored for a long time..." Tom felt guilty, while Hermione took out the book and read it carefully several times and shook her head. The original text did not mention the shelf life of the potion.

Tom thought to himself, you are a serious system, you can't reward me with expired potion, right? In addition, it has been three months since I got this egg, and there is no reaction at all. If I wait any longer, it may become a stillbirth, so he can only

I have to bite the bullet and use this bottle of potion that I don’t know when it was produced.

Tom dropped the magic potion on the egg, and it felt inexplicably like eggs soaked in rice porridge. The instant the potion touched the eggshell, he sucked it in. When the whole bottle of magic potion was poured out, the egg was no longer visible.

No change, but it feels warm to the touch and seems to have a beating heart.

"I will get up early tomorrow morning, stay in this classroom, and hatch the bird and snake eggs completely." Tom put away the bird and snake eggs and left the classroom with Hermione. But he did not go back to the lounge directly, but found a

The reason for separation from Hermione: he wanted to receive two other mission prizes.

One of them is hidden in the Room of Requirement - Tom is also convinced, why are all the rewards of this system placed in the Room of Requirement? Then he can just be a garbage guy in there, what else is there to do!

However, when he found the mission reward under the guidance of the system, he gave up the idea: because the reward was a mediocre bottle of ink! There were not only a thousand bottles but also eight hundred bottles of this kind of ink in the Room of Requirement. If he

Damn you if you can find it without guidance!

This bottle of ink can strengthen the five-star quill pen that he drew that does not require ink. The method is also super simple. Just dip the quill into the ink. Tom followed the system instructions and inserted the quill pen into the ink bottle.

Something magical happened: the ink was quickly absorbed by the quill, just like a sponge absorbing water. The black ink climbed up along the texture of the quill, and eventually all the ink in the ink bottle was absorbed, and the entire pen was also absorbed.

Dyeed in ink, it actually looks better than the white one before, and the pen has a bit of an eerie feel to it.

But soon, the ink on the quill faded away like a tide, and the entire quill turned white again, returning to its ordinary appearance.

Tom picked it up and saw that the notes on it in the system had changed [Quill Pen (Five Stars - Refined 2): A quill pen that can write without ink and can correct the user's grammatical errors]

"This is okay!" Tom's eyes lit up. This quill pen is very good. His current problem is that he is too colloquial when answering questions and has a lot of grammatical errors. Sometimes, he will write a sentence like this: Question

He said that only by increasing the firepower can the reaction be accelerated. The quill will automatically change it to: From the question, it can be seen that only by increasing the firepower can the reaction be accelerated.

It can be said that it is very convenient, and Tom needs this exactly.

The hidden reward was finally no longer hidden in the Room of Requirement, but in a corridor on the 7th floor of Hogwarts Castle. The system did not point out the location, but asked Tom to look for abnormalities in the corridor. Tom walked around the corridor twice.

, I felt something was wrong. If I looked closely, I saw something strange: there was a pair of European-style armor, actually wearing an oriental-style helmet!

Tom wanted to pick up the helmet, but his hands reached out to the helmet, but he stopped. After about a second, the system jumped out of the upgrade [Mission Copy: Huang Tiandang-War at Huaihe Unlocked, touch the helmet to enter the copy]

"Holy shit! The system is cheating on me!" Tom was frightened for a while. If he hadn't just stopped, he would have been in the dungeon now! Tom said that now is not the time, and he needs to be well prepared before he can download the dungeon - and even if he has to

Before entering a dungeon, you must at least know what the rewards of the dungeon are, right?

There was no talking all night. The next day, Tom and Hermione rushed to the previous classroom before the sun rose. It was very safe on the way, because the administrator Filch also had to sleep. He might patrol at midnight, but absolutely

There will be no early morning patrols.
