Hagrid's expression was serious.
Although he liked the dragon's teeth and wanted them very much, he would not let Kyle lose money. This was absolutely unacceptable.
"That's different, Hagrid."
Kyle explained with a smile: "These are not purchased handicrafts. If you look closely, you will find that there are no traces of carving on them."
"Really?" Hagrid took out a dragon tooth and looked at it doubtfully.
It was clean and indeed a little different from what he saw.
He took out another one and found some scratches on it.
"See?" Kyle said, "I picked all of this up from the Dragon Sanctuary. I didn't spend a single Knut."
"Picked it up, picked it up..." Hagrid was stunned for a moment, "So many of them?"
"This is just part of it..." Kyle said, "You should have heard about the big fight in the Romanian Fire Dragon Sanctuary. At that time, there were fire dragons with broken teeth almost every day. At most, I could pick up seven or eight in ten minutes."
Hagrid's expression was completely dull, and he even forgot to give Kyle money... It was obvious that he didn't know about this.
And when he came to his senses, he suddenly felt unwell.
Dozens of fire dragons, a melee…these words were like the Whomping Willow, whipping his nerves again and again.
He couldn't believe what he had missed.
If he had known this would happen, he would have crawled to Romania even if he had to.
"You should have told me earlier...you should have told me earlier..." Hagrid muttered to himself, jumping up and down in annoyance.
Kyle shrugged.
It’s not that he doesn’t want to say it, but it’s useless even if he says it.
If Hagrid had not been invited, he would have been able to stay at the gathering place and see nothing even if he had gone.
It took a long time before Hagrid gradually calmed down.
Kyle leaned over and asked casually, "Hagrid, how many manticores are there in the Forbidden Forest?"
"Two," said Hagrid. "One big and one small. The big one is injured and has been recuperating deep in the Forbidden Forest."
"Injured?" Kyle frowned and asked, "What could hurt them?"
Even among the 5X-rated magical creatures, the Manticore is very dangerous.
It is extremely powerful and agile, its fur can repel almost all known magic, and the scorpion tail behind it is extremely poisonous. Not to mention ordinary wizards, even a transformed werewolf will die if poked by it.
"I don't know..." Hagrid, still immersed in regret, said casually, "But there is a big wound on its body. I guess it was discovered by a fire dragon or a chimera when it was at its weakest, so it had to run to the Forbidden Forest to give birth."
"Then it's really lucky that you found it." Kyle said, "I mean, the Forbidden Forest is not a safe place, right..."
"Yes, you are right." Hagrid looked towards the Forbidden Forest. "I discovered the Manticores when I was looking for Aragog. Luckily I moved them to another location, otherwise, those..."
At this point, Hagrid suddenly shut up. "...Nothing, the Forbidden Forest is indeed very dangerous."
He didn't want anyone to know who Aragog was.
But Kyle didn't care and continued to ask: "Is it seriously injured?"
"Oh, it's not serious." Hagrid said, "Although it looks scary, I checked it and it's just a superficial wound. Apply some diffusa and it will be fine."
"Do you need help?" Kyle said, "I have a lot of newly mature white shrimps here, and I have also learned a lot of methods of treating magical animals from Newt before."
Hagrid suddenly became alert, turned his head and looked at Kyle suspiciously, and said, "Why are you so concerned about the situation of the Manticore..."
"Nothing, I just want to help." Kyle explained: "You know, neither my dad nor Newt would leave injured magical animals alone."
"That's better." Hagrid still didn't let his guard down.
He now knew that Kyle was very good at dealing with magical creatures.
Both Norbert and the three-headed dog Fluffy liked him very much. When they were drinking with other professors, they even said that the basilisk in the Chamber of Secrets seemed to have been given to Kyle by Professor Dumbledore.
Although this is just a guess and no one has seen the process of the basilisk being sent away, they are too familiar with Dumbledore, especially Professor McGonagall, and she must know something.
Professor McGonagall remained silent when they talked about this topic, which was very telling.
Could it be that Kyle is planning to attack the Manticore this time...
Thinking of this, Hagrid suddenly became nervous, and said with a serious expression: "I must remind you, don't think about attacking the Manticore. It was injured recently and just gave birth. It is the most tense time and is much more dangerous than usual."
Kyle coughed dryly, then said calmly: "You misunderstood, I really just wanted to help."
As he said this, he opened the lizard skin bag, grabbed a handful of white fresh water from it and handed it to Hagrid.
“Look…”
The roots of the white mulberry are still covered with moist soil, and it looks like they were just pulled out a few days ago. They are indeed very fresh.
But Hagrid just glanced at it and didn't take it. "No need, Kyle. Professor Sprout has a lot of dill. There are also some in the Forbidden Forest. The quantity is enough."
"Really? That's good..." Kyle laughed, put the white fresh into the leather bag, and took out another thing, "White fresh essence, this thing is much more useful than white fresh..."
A few minutes later, Kyle was back at the table in front of the pumpkin patch.
"What did you just say?" Kanna asked in a low voice, "Why do you look very disappointed?"
"Nothing, I just wanted to help, but was rejected." Kyle said somewhat dissatisfiedly: "And Hagrid also said that I had bad intentions. Do you think he was too much?"
"Yes, Hagrid went too far." Connor said with a smile.
Although she didn't know what was going on, her intuition told her that Hagrid was right.
Of course, we can’t say that now.
After getting the answer he wanted, Kyle sighed helplessly.
To be honest, he did want to find out the location of the Manticore, but Hagrid seemed to have learned his lesson.
Whether it was distilled water or distilled water essence, he even took out the healing agent that Newt used to treat the dragon's wounds, but Hagrid did not take any of them.
And no matter what he said, the answer he got was always the same few words...
"I don't know what you are talking about..."
"Don't ask. Even if you ask me, I won't tell you..."
"Don't go into the Forbidden Forest, or I'll tell Professor Sprout!"
What's going on? Why does Hagrid suddenly become so smart?
