If you were to ask Rolf about his biggest achievement in the first event of the Triwizard Tournament, it would probably be the Rock Thief Dragon Egg.
Due to cracks in the eggshell, it was picked up by the kind-hearted Luo Fu and repaired. After several months of incubation, it will finally break out of its shell today.
Along a steep mountain road, Rolf, Shirley and Hermione climbed up.
Hermione pinched her waist, looked up at the top of the mountain, and asked breathlessly:
"Didn't you say that the Rock Thief Dragon egg is about to break out of its shell? Why did we go to Noble's lair?"
"Because that dragon egg was hatched by Norbert." Luofu said with a smile.
The hatching of dragon eggs requires fire, and it is not just ordinary fire, it must be the kind of magic fire that contains powerful power, otherwise the hatched dragons will be inherently deficient.
Dragon's Breath, Phoenix's Fireworks, and Gubulai Fairy Fire all belong to the category of magic fire. If you don't have these, you can also resort to the next best thing and use dragon crystals to enhance the magic power of the flames to hatch dragon eggs.
Of course, the best flame is dragon's breath, which is equivalent to breastfeeding.
There is only one fire dragon named Norbert in Rolf's box. Although it has not given birth to babies yet, it does not prevent it from taking on the responsibility of hatching eggs.
"Norbert is a Norwegian Spinosaurus. Would he be willing to hatch a rockthief dragon egg?" Hermione asked doubtfully.
"Normally not." Rove explained:
"But Norbert is in estrus recently, and his body's hormone secretion is very high. Under the influence of hormones, he will actively hatch dragon eggs."
Overflowing maternal love can happen to any animal, even the ferocious fire dragon is no exception.
The three of them soon reached the top of the mountain and found Norbert's lair.
At this time, Norbert was lying in the pit, biting into the smoking sheep carcass, and his long tail kept swishing as he ate.
Various burnt bones were scattered on the ground. They were partially melted and distorted, and the air was filled with the smell of barbecue.
Norbert looked up at the three of them. Its eyes were shining in the darkness, like golden coals. It breathed a warning sound, and its wings clicked, flapping in the stale air, stirring up a cloud of ashes.
While the female dragon is incubating the eggs, her personality will become extremely violent and she will attack anyone who wants to get close to the eggs.
However, Rolf and Shirley raised Norbert from an early age, and he was almost like their biological daughter, so after giving Norbert a slap, he kept his head down and continued to eat mutton.
In the center of the large pit, there is also a dragon egg. It is dark black in color. The surface of the eggshell is covered with tiny scales and dotted with bronze-like spots.
Inside the dragon egg, a clicking sound continued to be heard.
When the young rockthief dragons emerge from the eggs, they will break the eggshells with their tails. Their tail tips are already well developed at that time.
The three of them waited patiently for a while, and finally the eggshell finally cracked completely.
A wrinkled black baby dragon emerged from its shell. Its body was covered with black scales and was very smooth. There was a circle of tassel-like spikes on its head, and its eyes were protruding.
Luofu checked the gender of the rock thief dragon and found that it was a male. He then checked the body and finally weighed it.
Shirley stood aside and recorded the data in a notebook.
The rock thief dragon made a huffing sound, obviously it was starving, and it crawled towards Norbert, wanting to eat milk.
Although dragons are oviparous animals, female dragons can also secrete milk.
Rove had tasted fire dragon milk before in Romania's fire dragon reserve. It tasted okay, but he easily got hot after drinking it.
But Norbert is still a big girl, so where can she get milk?
So, it kicked the ugly guy off the ground with one paw.
Luo Fu twitched his lips and quickly took out the brandy and chicken blood that he had prepared long ago.
After the rock thief dragon kissed the taste, it plunged its head into the basin, as if it was sipping breast milk, licking it with its tiny tongue.
Shirley looked at it for a while and said with a smile: "This guy is much stronger than Nob when he was a child."
"That's right." Rolf also nodded and said, "At that time, Hagrid had been using the flames in the fireplace to hatch Norbert.
Although I later added the dragon crystal and the flames of the Ash Snake, it was a bit late, so the effect was still almost..."
In the middle of speaking, Rolf suddenly stopped talking. Shirley and Hermione looked up at the young man, only to hear him murmur repeatedly:
"Norbert hatched from dragon crystal...Dragon crystal?!"
Luofu's eyes suddenly widened, he looked at the two girls and said, "I seem to know how the golden egg was opened."
Hearing what the young man said, and the dragon crystal he just repeated repeatedly, Shirley and Hermione looked at each other and immediately said:
"You mean using dragon crystal?"
"That's right!" Luofu nodded and said excitedly:
"Those golden eggs are also dragon eggs. If you want to open them, you have to follow the method of hatching dragon eggs.
So if we put it into ordinary flames, it will have no effect, it must be magic fire."
"No wonder we were asked to collect dragon crystals in the first project to make magic fire and hatch golden eggs." Hermione continued.
"That's right." Shirley narrowed her eyes and agreed:
"I remember Ludo told us that dragon crystals are as important as golden eggs, related to the second project... He must be reminding us!"
After the three of them completed their analysis, they quickly left Norbert's lair and returned to the cabin.
Rolf opened a box, took out his golden egg and dragon crystal, then went to the fireplace and put the golden egg into the fire.
Soon, the three-headed dragon engraved on the golden egg roared like a fire dragon.
Luofu put the dragon crystal in, and as the dragon crystal began to release heat, the temperature of the flame suddenly increased, wandering sparks floated out, and the heat rippled and shone around the dragon egg.
The three-headed dragon engraved on the golden egg suddenly changed. It opened its mouth wide, like a dragon sucking water, and quickly sucked the surrounding flames into its mouth.
Just hearing a slight but clear "click", the golden egg cracked:
It was like a big watermelon, cut into eight equal parts, each segment spread flat to one side, and spread loudly in the fireplace.
In the center of the golden egg, a palm-sized statue appeared:
Its skin is iron gray and its dark green hair is long and disheveled, exactly like the mermaid in the black lake.
When the statue was in flames, it made an extremely terrifying, high-pitched scream, which was like the noise of a saw pulling wood.
Rolf thought for a while, took out the mermaid statue from the fireplace, waved his wand again, and a large ball of water appeared in the air, and then put the mermaid into the water balloon.
At that moment, the mermaid's voice became extremely beautiful, and she sang in the water:
