"Phoenix?" Hermione asked a little strangely. "Isn't the phoenix supposed to be a big bird with golden and red feathers like Fox? I saw this was also mentioned in the book "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them"."
"No, no, no, this is a translation problem." Ryan whispered, fearing to scare the phoenix standing on the bamboo eating bamboo rice. "The phoenix we call is called the phoenix in the Celestial Dynasty. It was originally from
In ancient Egypt. And the celestial phoenix in front of us is at least stronger in magical ability than Dumbledore’s phoenix."
As he spoke, he pointed to the phoenix and showed it to Hermione: "Look, the pattern on its head is in the shape of the word "德", the pattern on its wings is in the shape of the word "righteousness", and the pattern on its back is in the shape of the word "利".
, the pattern on the chest is in the shape of the word "ren", and the pattern on the abdomen is in the shape of the word "xin". These words represent the most important moral concepts of the people of the Celestial Dynasty. The words on the Phoenix represent that it has mastered a part of the human nature.
The power of rules is equivalent to what we call the power of belief."
"It's incredible, but it's just an extraordinary animal. How does it master these complicated rules?" Hermione, who has now begun to slowly explore the rules, knows what this power represents. She can't believe that some kind of
Magical animals can understand these complex things.
For example, Dumbledore's phoenix is at most equivalent to the intelligence of a human teenage child. It will definitely not be able to complete such complex research. And these are already some of the smartest magical animals that everyone has ever seen.
"Hey, you two young people, I don't think you humans are much smarter than other animals." Before Ryan could answer, he heard a very clear voice coming from the depths of his mind, giving people a feeling of spring rain.
The feeling of seeds sprouting after water dripped on the ground. But this sound startled him. Nowadays, there are probably not many people and creatures who can send the message directly to his heart through the power of the mind without disturbing himself, even Deng Bu
Lido also requires a lot of effort to achieve.
Ryan's first reaction was to look at Phoenix, who was holding a piece of bamboo and stretching his neck to reach the rice in front of him. He immediately heard another sentence: "You are a kid who is not slow to react, and you are a bit smart."
"Excuse me, who are you?" Ryan asked cautiously. The phoenix in front of him has already demonstrated its power. No matter what it is, this power is worthy of respect.
"You can call me Fengling." Phoenix flew to a bamboo in front of Ryan and the others and said. "Don't be nervous, I just called you out of curiosity. There are not many foreigners seen in this place, even in
It’s been over two thousand years here, and I haven’t seen more than two digits of foreigners. The last time I saw a foreigner who looked similar to the girl next to you was decades ago.”
"Do Europeans like me come here often?" This sentence aroused Hermione's interest.
"No, no, no, it's not that often. Most foreign alchemists only step into this land when they have something to do." Fengling said, "It was because of other things that I met that man. That man was trying to get a quilt.
Zuowu, who was taken away by the poachers, was returned to us, so he came with his partner. I also learned a greeting from them. Let me think about it, it’s this.”
After thinking of that sentence, Phoenix raised one of its wings to them and said: "Gu De touched you, that's what he said. Ha, I know my brain is very useful, I will remember it for so many years."
"Zou Wu?" Ryan suddenly thought of a person. He took out a copy of "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" from his space bag, and then pointed to the black and white photo of the author when he was young on the title page and asked. "Um, what was it back then?
This person?"
"That's him." Fenghuang put his head close to the book and read it before saying, "This young man gave me a good impression, and I even had a chat with him. Do you know what happened to him afterwards?"
"Newt Scamander, who later became a great scholar of magizoology, is now retired and lives on his family estate in Dorset with his wife Pet. And he is not at all young now,
He is almost 100 years old. Our first grade textbook was written by him."
"Oh, I forget a lot of things when I get older. I thought he might be very powerful in the future. It seems that I have good eyesight." Fengling's voice became cheerful. "By the way, what are you doing here?
?I remember there were very few foreigners in this place."
"We came here to hold an engagement ceremony, plus a holiday trip. In addition, I also stopped by to visit my family." Ryan said, holding Hermione's hand.
"Oh, love. This is beautiful." Fengling said: "Although I just met you, I still need to tell you that strong power is the basis for doing things, and killing is sometimes a necessary method.
But please remember the original choice in your heart, and don’t be blinded by strength and blood. I have seen too many tragedies in my life caused by not being able to hold on to my heart. And love and responsibility are the only ones.
An anchor point that can help people get out of being lost.”
"Thank you for your teaching." Ryan bowed to the phoenix. He believed that the warning issued by a phoenix that had lived for two thousand years must be on target. After thinking about it carefully, Ryan also felt that he seemed to be a little too inclined to physical destruction recently.
, he stood there and began to reflect on whether his previous thoughts and actions were a bit extreme.
"It would be great if you can gain something. I think you will definitely become a great alchemist in the future. Now let me give you some gifts. I wish you can carve out a sky of your own in a foreign country. Of course, I also congratulate you on finding
The destination of my soul." Fengling looked at Ryan's thoughtful look and flew up, and then began to sing a song in ancient elegant language.
"The phoenix comes back to its hometown, and travels all over the world in pursuit of its phoenix. I haven't met it yet, and I have no general. How can I realize that I am going to be promoted to the hall now!" The phoenix spirit sang while flying in the air. After singing the song, golden light flashed by.
That elegant and beautiful figure disappeared from the bamboo forest, leaving only some heavenly echoes echoing around.
"Hey." Hermione breathed out softly. Even though Fengling had tried her best to contain her breath just now, even if just a little of the magic accumulated over two thousand years was unconsciously leaked out, it would be a huge blow to Hermione who had just started to come into contact with the path of rules.
The pressure was too much for Min Lai.
"Is this the heritage of the wizards of the Celestial Dynasty?" Hermione said with some disbelief. "More than two thousand years old, the oldest guy I've ever heard of is the basilisk you told me about under the girls' bathroom in the school.
I feel that the pressure it puts on me is just a little lighter than the previous Death."
"In an independent magical society with thousands of years of civilization that has not been discontinued, you wouldn't think that they haven't expanded externally because they are weak. Not to mention that the phoenix in front of us just now should be just a little worse than the gods." Ryan looked at it.
Looking at the surprised Hermione, she said, "Okay, let's not talk about this now. We can see what gifts the mythical beast Phoenix gave us."
After feeling their bodies for a while, Ryan and the others lifted up their sleeves at the same time. A thumb-sized but very delicate golden phoenix tattoo appeared on their forearms.
After a little exploration of the sashimi with magic power, they found that this sashimi allows two people to summon each other to their sides as long as they are in the same world with the other person's consent. In addition to this most important function, it also allows them to communicate with each other.
Contact the other party.
"I really should thank that phoenix spirit." Ryan felt a little confused about receiving this generous gift. However, considering that the phoenix was more than two thousand years old, it was probably that in its eyes, this gift was really just a gift.
It's just a trivial benefit given by the younger generation.
But for Ryan and Hermione, this is the best gift they have received since coming to China.
