Chapter 347 Signal
During the third week in the Fire Dragon Sanctuary, Kyle had gradually gotten used to this sometimes busy, sometimes leisurely life.
More importantly, he had gained a lot.
These days, he earned the money for two sets of anti-curse gloves, a full 125 Galleons, just by selling those damaged and inferior goods.
But that was all...
At the end of the second week, the fire dragons had the most intense and longest melee.
This time, even Kyle couldn't rest. He followed Newt and Chris to treat three injured fire dragons, more than the previous two times combined.
And when it was over, there were only the last two fire dragons left in the sky.
A Hungarian Horntail and a Ukrainian Iron Belly... Not the one Kyle had encountered before, this one was bigger.
They only rested for one day and then continued to fight for the highest cliff.
Most people gathered around and waited for the final result.
Judging from the size, the Ukrainian Ironbelly is obviously more advantageous... Charlie said it weighs about seven tons, and it is several times larger than the Hungarian Horntail just by standing there, and it looks like an adult dragon carrying a child.
However, Charlie is not optimistic about it.
"Although they are both Ukrainian Ironbelly and are about the same size, it is less intelligent than Old Pino.
If it was the last chance to win when everyone was about to stop flying, it just didn't seize it. Now..."
Charlie shook his head, "Big size means more consumption, and a day's rest time is not enough. The Hungarian Horntail obviously knows this, so it launched an attack in advance.
... It has no chance."
The facts are the same as Charlie said.
After only three hours, the Ukrainian Ironbelly slowed down, swaying, like a target in the sky.
The Hungarian Horntail is like an experienced hunter, using its speed advantage to quickly gain the upper hand.
Everyone can see that the outcome of this battle is already doomed, and the rest is just a matter of time.
"Hogwarts is about to start school, right?" Professor Lockneil, feeling a little bored, walked up to Kyle and whispered, "Is it also in September?"
"September 1st," Kyle said, "Less than two weeks."
"If school starts then, you should be in the fourth grade."
"Yes." Kyle nodded.
"Are you interested in transferring to Beauxbatons?" Professor Lockneil suddenly said, "If it's you, I guarantee that you can use the best materials in your alchemy class."
Kyle looked at Professor Lockneil, his head full of question marks.
No, what is the habit of Beauxbatons, persuading people to transfer as soon as they meet?
Their principal Maxim is like this, and so are the professors. What's the matter? Is this part of their on-the-job training?
"I'm sorry, I don't have this idea for the time being.
After a moment of silence, Kyle shook his head and said, "Besides, the O.W.L.s exams will be held next year, so it's not suitable to transfer at this time. "
"It's okay, it's okay, I just asked, you don't need to mind..."
Professor Locknier waved his hands repeatedly, then moved to Kyle's side and whispered: "Actually, Ms. Maxime asked me to ask... When I wrote to her a few days ago, I accidentally told her about the situation here. She seemed to want you to transfer to Beauxbatons.
Do you know each other?"
To be honest, when Maxime asked him to poach people in the letter, he was actually quite confused.
Although he felt that it was a bit rude to do so, there was no way for the sake of funds.
He not only purchased defective products. There are also complete materials and dragon blood, which are the big ones.
Although the amount received each time was not much, it cost him nearly a thousand Galleons in total for three times, which must be reimbursed by the school.
So he would write to Ms. Maxime under the pretext of reporting the situation, and remind her to prepare the money quickly.
Who knew that the money was not sent, but there was an additional task of poaching people from Hogwarts...
But anyway, he completed it.
"Ms. Maxime? "
Kyle thought for a moment and said, "I saw her once in Paris during the holidays last year."
"Oh... that's no wonder."
Professor Lockneil suddenly realized, "I remember that she rarely left France. Normally, it should be impossible for her to know the little wizard of Hogwarts."
As the two were talking, the battle between the two dragons was coming to an end.
As expected, the Hungarian Horntail won.
It stood on the cliff, roaring, and spewed mushroom-shaped clouds of fire into the sky.
Dragon roars were heard all around... that was a way of expressing submission.
"It's finally over." Charlie rubbed his forehead.
He hadn't had a good rest for more than a month. He was fine when he was always tense before, but now he suddenly relaxed and felt like his head was hit hard by someone. It was very uncomfortable.
Now he should be able to rest for a few days.
Although he still had a lot of things to do later, there was no rush. Just take it slowly...
"Roar! "
Another dragon roar.
Unlike the previous roar that expressed submission, this roar was full of anger.
Charlie was startled and suddenly came to his senses.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound at the same time...
It was an Australian egg white eye. It did not lie on the ground like other fire dragons, but flew in the air, angrily spraying dragon flames at the ground.
At the same time, a dazzling red light exploded next to it, leaving a large spherical pattern in the air.
That was a signal unique to dragon breeders.
"Damn... those cunning hyenas!"
Charlie quickly got on his broom and flew in that direction.
"Someone is paying attention to the dragon eggs."
As if seeing Kyle's doubts, Professor Lockneil explained in a low voice: "That is a signal unique to the Fire Dragon Reserve. Red means there are unidentified intruders, and the sphere represents the dragon eggs."
"Are we going to help?" Kyle asked.
"No, someone has already gone." Chris came over and shook his head.
"That's right." Lockneil said with a smile, "The reserve had long guessed that this would happen. Since two weeks ago, there have been people guarding each nest of dragon eggs.
And there is a special protective magic on the dragon eggs. You can't Apparate with it."
As he spoke, more and more dragon breeders also rushed to the vicinity of the Australian egg white eye.
But a few minutes later, two more red lights exploded in the south, followed by two in the north...
A total of seven places sent signals, and they were all far away and in different directions.
"So many people, and at the same time... It seems that they had planned it long ago."
Chris was a little surprised, but his expression did not change.
...
