The Scottish Highlands once again showed her fickle face. When Ani walked into the castle just now, the sun was still shining brightly, but now the clouds are rolling in, swaying her body wantonly.
Peter forced himself to say Sirius's name playfully, trying his best to hide his uneasiness.
Courage comes from fear. The fire coming from behind can always easily make people ignore the "small" gap of several meters between the window and the ground.
When the master who once enslaved him turned into a poisonous snake parasitic on his chest, Peter thought he would become brave when facing Sirius, but the newspaper falling in the thunder gave him a glimpse of the trembling in his heart.
The thunder exploded, and the rats, rabbits and insects shrank their necks timidly, and couldn't help but squeeze deeper into the nest. The somewhat stuffy green plants swayed their branches happily, allowing the sudden heavy rain to wash away the dirt on the leaves.
Dust takes away the staleness among the dry bark.
The downpour of rain swept across the earth, seeming to wash away the world.
At this moment, I don’t know how many people are hiding in dry houses, how many people are opening umbrellas to hold up a small space, and how many people are putting on raincoats to temporarily isolate themselves.
They come and go in an instant, and the scattered water droplets gather in groups and run into the distance. They take away the filth in the forest, but they cannot cleanse the hearts of those who resist.
But maybe the house will make you bear a heavy loan, the umbrella will attract thunder falling nearby, and the raincoat will sometimes restrain the outstretched hands and feet.
The same thing is a warm shelter for those who pursue stability, but it is an evil shell that resists justice for those who have evil thoughts.
And one day they will discover that the protection formed by terror, cruelty, cunning, viciousness, betrayal, etc. is not so reliable, and even a sudden sound of harmless thunder can temporarily break through the inner defenses of the sinister. p>
"The thunder was so loud that it almost scared my arm off."
Seeing Peter awkwardly picking up the fallen newspaper, Kettleburn waved his prosthetic hand to ease his embarrassment.
Although the previous Principal Dippet was quite dissatisfied with Kettleburn's recklessness, it was his kindness and straightforwardness that did not change with time that made him recognized by more people and animals, even if accidents occurred frequently
, the appearance is scary, and the little wizards still like this somewhat childish old professor.
Not all good intentions will be well responded to. Peter, who lowered his head to pick up the newspaper, had a fierce look in his eyes. It was obvious that the old professor's actions were regarded as a different kind of ridicule by him.
But the warmth released by kindness can sometimes cultivate surprising flowers.
"Schiller, are you interested in coming to Breath of Nature to help me? Capet placed the salamanders at the Lake Lucerne base in Switzerland, and the researchers there discovered something unusual."
Ani left Peter aside and continued talking to the old professor.
Kettleburn kept a "large group" of salamanders as pets, but it was difficult to find a suitable place to take care of them after retirement, so he packed up the little things and entrusted them to Aini.
The most talked about characteristic of salamanders is probably their ability to live forever under certain conditions.
As long as the flame from which they were born is still burning, even if the salamander dies in the outside world, it won't take long for it to be resurrected in the flames.
Sounds a bit like a phoenix, right?
There are more similarities between them. For example, the flesh and blood of the salamander is the same as the tears of the phoenix. They are both excellent healing products. Both of them also have the ability to be immune to fire damage and have the ability to affect space.
In fact, there have been many related topics. If the shapes between the two were not so different, I am afraid researchers would have drawn some outrageous conclusions.
But the truth is often more bizarre than people imagine.
The current mainstream view in the wizarding world is that salamanders are some kind of derivative of the phoenix. For example, they are affected by the nirvana of the phoenix and have devoured the flesh and blood of the phoenix. There is also a more fantasy belief that the ancestors of the salamanders are somehow related to the phoenix.
An indescribable relationship...
The problem is that the last far-fetched guess is actually the closest to the truth. There is indeed some kind of blood connection between the two, and it is really related to reproduction.
Is the Phoenix a flesh-and-blood creature or an elemental creature? The differences between the two concepts have existed since ancient times.
After all, the phoenix was born far earlier than human history, and wizards do not have any relevant records.
But just because humans don’t have it, it doesn’t mean Ani can’t see it.
Fox's bloodline contains the image of the birth of the original phoenix, which was an indescribable ball of magic fire. When the first phoenix cry sounded, the flames scattered and shattered, and the graceful big bird spread its wings and soared in the red world.
Salamanders come from the magic fire that gave birth to the phoenix and then scattered.
In other words, the flame that salamanders jump out of is their true body, and the flesh and blood that people think of is just the incarnation of high-energy polymers full of life.
It is precisely because of the same source of life that the flesh and blood of the salamander has the same therapeutic effect as the tears of the phoenix.
Therefore, the "large group" of pets entrusted to Aini by Professor Kettleburn are actually just a group of magic fire with a deeper foundation and huge energy.
After seeing that thing, Fox shared part of the inherited memory with Aini, prompting him to ask Capet to establish a special research institute next to the only large-scale magic node occupied by Breath of Nature in Europe.
He was an out-and-out gold-rich. In just two months, he not only swallowed up a lot of galleons, but also occupied the magic rations of many other departments.
The source body of that ball of salamanders lives entirely on magic power, especially the one Kettleburn found from the Sahara. If you let go of its belly, it can even suck small magic nodes dry.
However, when the absolute controller of the group decided that it was worth it, under Capet's control, the research institute at the bottom of Lake Lucerne became surprisingly efficient.
In less than 70 days, they produced a preliminary results report.
There is no vacation at this juncture, but Aini will definitely not be stingy with the treatment and bonuses. Of course, this is inseparable from Fox's assists, but overall, it is indeed an out-and-out surprise.
The little phoenix gave the big guy with the same origin a wisp of Nirvana fire, and a wonderful change took place between the two.
After that, the flesh-and-blood substance fabricated by Demon Fire not only further enhanced the therapeutic effect, but also had the property of purifying alien energy.
If the results can be produced, it will be a huge boon to those who have been harmed by powerful magical energy, including black magic. Once announced, it will surely cause a sensation in the entire magic world.
There is a good example right in front of us. After learning about the findings of the Beeryburn Institute, Kettleburn waved his arms excitedly, and his two prosthetic legs clicked on the ground.
It was the strong magical damage that prevented him from recovering his limbs. As long as the alien magic power near the wound was purified, Kettleburn could get rid of the nickname "One and a Half".
Giving the salamander to Aini was entirely out of kindness and responsibility, but I didn't expect that there would be unexpected gains.
Maybe even if your kindness is not recognized by others, the world will give you the tenderness you deserve.
