Chapter 298： Kirin

Pickett jumped to the branch, then used the students' heads as a springboard to speed towards the goal.

"Oh my hair!"

"Oh my!"

After a small disturbance, Hushuluoguo finally calmed down.

Everyone else turned their attention to the suddenly excited little tree man, only to see Pickett clinging to a student, crawling up and down on him, and occasionally digging into the bag of his robe to look for it.

Sean smiled and carried Pickett into his palm: "I'm here to teach, Pickett, you should cooperate with Professor Scamander's teaching."

Pickett's pointed fingers sprout green shoots, and then he went into Sean's pocket and searched, making sure that there were no turtles in it, and then he regretfully took it back.

It stuck its tongue out at Sean, making a sharp but amusing noise.

"I miss you, you don't love me anymore."

Then, in the surprised eyes of the students, he stepped on one head after another and returned to Newt's hands.

Pickett climbed up Newt's palm, corrected the position of Newt's fingers by the way, and stood motionless.

It acts as if it hadn't moved just now.

Sean laughed, this little guy has been with Newt for too long, he is no longer afraid of people, and his brain is much better than before.

Sean's junior [Beast Whisperer] can already understand the general meaning of it.

Newt shook his head helplessly, and he looked at the students: "This is another feature of the tree guard, this magical animal that guards trees is usually peaceful and extremely shy, but if you can establish a good relationship with it, it will It will be clingy and naughty.”

Pickett didn't seem satisfied with Newt's 'naughty' comment, turned his head and spat at Newt.

The students burst into laughter.

Newt also laughed indifferently: "Students, remember that although Hushuluoguo is generally a gentle magical animal, each one has a different personality, just like our wizards. By the way, Hushuluogu Luoguo's saliva is actually tree sap — oh, oh, Pickett, stop spitting, there's a lot of people, you have to be polite."

It took Newt two chubby turtles to calm Pickett's small temper, he let the little guy climb on his shoulders, and then led the students into the woods.

"Come on, kids, as a first lesson, I think it's more experiential for you to get up close and personal with these lovely creatures."

As they walked in, the trees began to have their heads protruding from the trees, big or small.

Keeping a little distance, Newt asked, "Who can tell me the main points of dealing with the Hushu Luoguo?"

Hermione and Sean raised their hands at the same time.

"Mr Wallup."

Sean moved a little closer to a tree next to him: "The tree guards are extremely small. As far as I know, the Forbidden Forest is a great habitat. They often use their body color to hide in the trees, and they are not It's easy to show people. They all came out today, and I think Professor Scamander is usually familiar with these little guys."

It may also have something to do with his affinity for magical animals.

He continued: "Although mild-mannered, if the tree it's sitting on is threatened, it will leap down and pounce on a lumberjack or tree-repair specialist trying to destroy its home, using its long, sharp Fingers gouging their eyes. If a wizard dedicates a turkey to a tree-guard cauldron, it will be soothed for a long time, so he or she can take wood from the tree to make a wand--yes, fairy eggs are also guardians Shuluoguo likes food, but you can't give them too much, it's easy to spit up milk, no, sap."

"Of course, there is another requirement in dealing with Hushuluoguo, or in other words, in dealing with all magical beasts, this is common - that is sincerity."

Sean slowly stretched out his hand. On the tree next to him, a dark green tree guard scrutinized him for a while, and after a moment of hesitation, it jumped gently into his palm.

"Show your kindness sincerely, Fantastic Beasts are often more sensitive than humans." He smiled and stretched out his fingers, and the tree protector grabbed his fingers and played with Sean.

Newt applauded, he threw a turtle to Sean, and waited until the tree husk began to enjoy the food happily before continuing: "Mr. Wallup is right, dealing with magical animals, all kinds of targets. Characteristic, habitual behavior can be very helpful, and a sincere heart is essential. Twenty points to Ravenclaw."

Then Hagrid brought over a large iron bucket, which was full of turtles.

"Come on, let's each take two turtles and try to feed the little guys here."

With Sean's demonstration, the other students became enthusiastic at once. They crowded forward to get their own 'snacks', and even the students who were afraid of bugs looked at the black bugs in the hands of their companions with curiosity and worry. .

"Come on, come forward one by one." Newt greeted.

"Yes, that's right, look into Hushuluoguo's eyes and don't show concern for its sharp fingers. As long as you don't mess around, it will never hurt you."

"Yes, spread out your hands first, express your kindness with a turtle, and slowly pass it over..."

"Very well, after it accepts your first gift, you can try to get it to climb on your palm."

Newt's teaching level far surpassed that of the bumbling Hagrid and the grumpy Professor Keitelburn. He taught very well, with a smile on his face and students' questions in a timely and detailed manner. answer.

It soon became clear why Professor Scamander, who had been on the job for less than two years, quickly won the love of his students.

However, some careful students found that although the Hushu Luoguo in their palms was very gentle, they would occasionally turn their heads to look at their companions, and then looked in a certain direction.

That's Sean's direction.

At this time, Sean's ears were already filled with the broken thoughts of the tree guards.

"The turtle is really fragrant." Hushu Luoguo A.

"There are so many stupid and big guys today, but there is someone there who is more fragrant than a turtle." Hushu Luoguo B.

"It's still a little sweet, right?" Hushu Luoguo C retorted.

"It doesn't matter whether it's up or down, it doesn't matter if it's up or down." Hushu Luoguo D said.

The tree protector Luoguo E lying in Sean's hands was sunbathing with Erlang's legs crossed freely: "Cool..."

"I want to try too..."

"I want to try too..."

"I want to try too..."

The group of Hushu Luoguo were a little jealous of their companions.

"The turtle is really fragrant... ah? Then I'll try it too?" Hushu Luoguo A.

Newt was leading a timid girl close to a tree guard.

"Yes, reach out slowly, the palm is flat...don't worry, come on, try it, it's very simple, this one has a much stronger temper than my Pickett - oh, Picker hits me!"

At this moment, there was a sudden exclamation from the crowd.

Newt looked back quickly, and then saw Sean in the crowd jumping around in place.

Most of the tree protection pots in the whole forest jumped onto Sean's body just as they had negotiated, and they hung on Sean like sections of branches.

Some were swinging with Sean's robes and earlobes, some were lying on a large area to bask in the sun, and some climbed into Sean's clothes, and then came out frightened and hugged Sean for comfort - inside. Dave still lives in the bag.

Newt, who was also able to communicate with magical animals initially, heard the sighs of the tree guards: "It's really fragrant..."

"Scared me, scared me to death, there is a big worm in it! ... Can you eat it?"

Sean, who was being grabbed by Hushu Luoguo, was jumping with pain: "Hey, man, don't grab my ears, fingers, fingers are too sharp... Little guy, you can't drill there!... You! Don't lick! Itchy hahahaha Ha ha-"

Newt: "…"

He helped his forehead helplessly, and sure enough, as he expected, it was because of Sean's accident in the end.

However, after the rather funny episode, only Sean was tossed enough.

He moved away from the woods and wiped the sweat from his forehead: "Sometimes I can't stand being too enthusiastic..."

Newt smiled and shook his head: "It seems that before each class, I have to discuss it with the magical beasts who are going to class in advance."

"Please also do this!"

The two chatted and laughed for a while, and while no one was around, Sean turned the topic to the magical animals he saw in Selma.

"A magical animal you haven't seen?" Newt was interested.

Sean kept running to his office. The other party had basically read all of his graphic notes, and he had even read the new version of "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" that had not yet been published.

After this, the other party actually has a magical animal that he has never seen before?

Sean nodded and gave Newt a detailed description of what he saw: "I can't see the head clearly, it has a body similar to an elk, and has the tail of an oriental dragon. By the way, the scales on its body don't seem to be the same color. ."

Newt raised his cheeks and thought: "From the ancient East?"

"right."

"There are indeed many unique and magical animals there, and many of them are not in-depth understanding of me. However, from your description, I have the impression that there is only one kind of creature that looks like this... Well, you see it from the photo Is there any bamboo in that forest area?"

Sean recalled for a moment, then nodded: "It seems that there is indeed bamboo."

"That should be it..." Newt's expression became slightly solemn.

"professor?"

Newt looked at Sean and said solemnly: "Are you sure it's just what you see in the photo, not... you really got one?"

"Am I that kind of person?" Sean felt wronged.

"Well, the descriptions seen in the library can also hatch eggs, don't they?"

"That was an accident, an accident..." Sean sneered.

At first, I was ignorant and completely underestimated Newt's knowledge of magical beasts, thinking that he could hide Dave's story.

Newt smiled, and then his expression returned to seriousness: "If that's right, it should be—a unicorn."

"Kirin?" Sean's eyes widened.

The existence in this ancient oriental myth is actually a living magical animal? !

Newt glanced at him and continued: "Many legends are not groundless, like the Zuwu I mentioned to you, it is also a strange beast in Eastern mythology, but I have also seen it with my own eyes. Not only it , There are many magical and even terrifying magical animals in that land, and the unicorn is a very special kind of them."

"Special? Why do you say that?" Sean asked curiously.

Newt shook his head: "I just heard from an old wizard when I was traveling in Asia. I don't know what is special, but the local wizards call the unicorn a beast."

Mythical beast? This is a very important name...

"In addition, the unicorn may have another role."

"what?"

Newt let out a sigh of relief: "Does the International Federation of Wizards know?"

"Of course, doesn't it mean that there will be a presidential election soon?"

"It just happens to be related to this election..." Newt smiled. "The president is elected by voting. This is the election method that has only been decided in the last two hundred years. It is said that at the beginning, the election of the president of the International Federation of Wizards was not Elected by vote, but by Kirin.”

"Kirin?" Sean became puzzled, "How does Kirin choose people? In this case, isn't my participation in the election a final decision?"

Newt laughed: "It's really possible... I don't know the specific criteria for the selection of unicorns, but I guess it may be similar to unicorns, unicorns love pure women, and unicorns may also love certain types of People, and people with this trait may be suitable to be presidents."

"Makes sense..." Sean nodded suddenly.

Newt is indeed a senior scholar of magical animals, and he learned a lot from this visit today.

When Sean said goodbye and went back to the crowd, Newt stopped him.

"Sean, are you sure, you really didn't get a unicorn?"

"Really...I swear, Professor," Sean assured reluctantly.

Since Qilin is so amazing, how can he easily get it...

At the end of the rather pleasant class on the protection of magical animals, UU reading The students were still discussing enthusiastically on the way back to the castle, and many people and friends boasted that they were eye-to-eye with a certain tree-protecting pot. experience.

Hermione was rather unhappy.

Sean said strangely: "What's the matter, I think you get along well with that tree-protecting pot."

Hermione listlessly kicked the stones under her feet: "Professor Scamander didn't assign homework..."

That's what you are for...

"Why do you think Professor Scamander is so popular? The fact that there is little homework is the key point," Sean said.

Hermione puffed up her cheeks unwillingly: "I've already prepared a lot of materials! I can't use it now!"

"It's not a loss if you learn it in your mind... But you usually study in addition to studying, why don't you buy a pet?" Sean asked.

This time, Hermione didn't meet the clever Crookshanks in Diagon Alley, which made Sean quite regretful.

Hermione was obviously a little moved, but in the end she shook her head: "Forget it, I don't particularly like it... You need to be responsible for it when you buy a pet back..."

"You can pick and choose, how about the cat raccoon? I have a way to go to the Ministry of Magic to get a breeding certificate."

"I know your way too, isn't it Mr Potter and Mr Black?"

"This is just a part of it. I've been thinking about getting a breeding certificate recently. I've been researching it for a long time."

Saying this, the two entered the castle, and as soon as they entered the front yard, they heard the loud voices of Fred and George.

"Come on!" The two waved a newspaper. "Big news!"
