Chapter 45： Hatching of the Bird Snake

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

Mrs. Pince loves books like her life, but in her eyes, it is best to keep a book brand new. Everyone's flipping it once is the biggest damage to the book, which is why she doesn't like little wizards.

After being cross-examined by Mrs. Pince, Tom and Hermione finally entered the library. They first went to get a few books on magical animals, and then sat down in an inconspicuous corner.

"Fantastic Beasts Raising, Where Are Fantastic Beasts, Fantastic Beasts from Eggs: From Hatching to Dirt..." Hermione was speechless, what are you doing with these books? The book "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" looks more reliable. Hermione looked at the series of "breeding" and "hatching" in the book list, thoughtfully.

Suddenly, an aura flashed across her mind, and she deduced something incredible.

"Are you trying to hatch that silver egg you got from Diagon Alley?" she said in a low voice, looking at Tom.

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

Hermione was instantly interested, and she began to quickly flip through the books Tom got from the shelf, trying to find clues about "promoting the hatching of egg-laying magical beasts" between the lines.

"... Medieval wizards would put dragon eggs in fires, because the female dragon would snort on it when she hatched her own eggs... This doesn't seem to work, because I saw that the book "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" didn't say anything about it. The bird snake is said to be heat-resistant."

"Look at this, ancient Roman priests mixed volcanic ash collected in the wild with water and smeared it on the eggs to be hatched, saying that it could gather the four elements of earth, water, fire, and wind, which is conducive to the hatching of eggs. "Tom pointed to a sentence in the book for Hermione to analyze.

"So maybe it is to smear the potion on the eggs of the bird and snake? Wait! I have the original text here: Prepare two potions and smear them on the eggs at the moment when the sun and the moon alternate, and the hatching can be completed." Hermione said at The answer is found in Fantastic Beasts from Eggs.

"The sun and the moon alternate? Isn't that morning and evening?" Tom frowned. He planned to try it tonight. The two people who found the answers they needed were no longer in the book, but flew into the silver egg.

After the afternoon flying lesson was over, Tom and Hermione found an abandoned classroom and waited quietly for dusk to fall.

Tom watched the sun gradually disappear into the sky, and immediately took out the red potion bottle, pulled the stopper, and glanced at the potion inside. The potion is very viscous, and I don't know if the water inside has evaporated because it has been left for too long.

"Will this potion expire after a long time..." Tom felt a little guilty, while Hermione took out the book and read it carefully several times before shaking her head. The original text didn't mention the shelf life of potions.

Tom thought to himself, with a serious system, you can't reward me with expired potions, can you? In addition, the egg has been in his hands for three months, and there is no reaction at all. If he waits, it may become a stillbirth, so he can only bite the bullet and use this potion that he did not know when it was produced.

Tom dropped the magic potion on the bird and snake egg, inexplicably having a feeling of soaking eggs in rice porridge. The moment the potion touched the eggshell, it was sucked in. When the whole bottle of potion was poured out, the bird snake egg didn't change much in appearance, but it felt warm to the touch, and it seemed to have a beating heart.

"Tomorrow morning, I'll get up early. It's still this classroom, and I'll completely hatch the bird-snake eggs." Tom put away the bird-snake eggs and left the classroom with Hermione. But instead of going straight back to the lounge, he found a reason to separate from Hermione: he was going to collect two other mission prizes.

One of them is hidden in the Room of Requirement - Tom also took it, why are the rewards of this system all in the Room of Requirement? Then you can just be a garbage guy in there, and what other tasks are you doing!

However, when he found the mission reward under the guidance of the system, he still gave up the idea: because the reward is just a bottle of ordinary ink! This kind of ink, there are not a thousand or eight hundred bottles in the room of responsiveness, if I can find it without guidance, I will be damned!

This bottle of ink can strengthen the five-star quill that I drew that does not require ink. The method is also super simple, just dip the quill into the ink. Tom followed the system's instructions and inserted the quill into the ink bottle, and something magical happened: the ink was quickly absorbed by the quill, just like a sponge absorbs water. These black inks climbed up along the texture of the quill pen. In the end, all the ink in the ink bottle was absorbed, and the whole pen was also dyed ink color. .

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

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

"That's ok!" Tom's eyes lit up, this quill is very good, his current problem is that he is too colloquial when answering questions, and there are a lot of grammatical errors. Sometimes, he would write a sentence like this: The title says that only by increasing the firepower can the response be quicker. The quill pen will automatically change it to: From the question stem, it can be seen that only by increasing the firepower can the response be accelerated.

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

The hidden reward is finally not hidden in the Room of Requirement, but in a corridor on the seventh floor of Hogwarts Castle. The system did not point out the location, but asked Tom to look for anomalies in the corridor. Tom walked twice in the corridor and felt that something was wrong. After careful observation, he saw something strange: there was a pair of European-style armor, but an Eastern-style helmet!

Tom wanted to pick up the helmet, but he stretched out his hands in front of the helmet, but he stopped. After about a second, the system jumped out to upgrade [Quest dungeon: Huang Tiandang unlocks, touch the helmet to enter the dungeon]

"Damn it! The system is bashing me!" Tom was frightened for a while. If he hadn't stopped just now, he would already be in the dungeon! Tom said that now is not the time, you need to prepare yourself before you can download the dungeon - and even if you want to enter the dungeon, at least you have to know what the reward of the dungeon is, right?

Silent all night. The next day, Tom and Hermione arrived at the previous classroom before the sun rose. It's very safe along the way, because Filch, the keeper, also sleeps, and he may patrol at midnight, but never early in the morning.
