Chapter 107 Hatching the Phoenix! How to calculate the nutrition fee? Unicorns volunteer to donate blood!
Ciel didn't say how he was going to solve it, but everyone present and the Acromantula already understood.
How else can it be solved?
It’s just eating!
Once the population becomes excessive, Charles will come and eat the extra Acromantulas!
However, this is still acceptable to the eight-eyed giant spiders.
After all, spiders have the habit of killing each other. Although the eight-eyed giant spider is a social animal, if it faces a food shortage, it will kill its weak companions to fill its stomach.
There was no moral burden for them to offer those weak eight-eyed giant spiders as tribute to the Charles.
But the next moment, Charles thought about it, then rummaged through the box he was carrying and found a book.
"That's what I said. I remember this book has been in my box all the time."
Ciel threw the Muggle textbook on ecological communities to Aragog. In the face of Aragog's puzzled look, Ciel pointed to a curve chart in the book and said to him.
"This is a colony reproduction rate chart that the Muggles studied. You must memorize it and study it carefully to find the fastest reproduction point for your Acromantula colony."
"Remember, breeding must be scientific."
"As for the topic of studying the ecology of the Acromanthus, I'll leave it to you."
Looking at the textbook handed to him, Aragog felt a chill in his heart.
This is simply asking myself to study how to kill eight-eyed giant spiders as many times as possible and quickly!
It just wants to ask one question now.
Which idiot sorted this little wizard into Hufflepuff? !
Is this Hufflepuff?
Even a Slytherin couldn't think of such a cruel thing!
Lucius and a group of dark wizards who were watching this scene became even more frightened.
so horrible.
The horror of Charles lies not only in his strength, but more importantly, this guy does not regard his enemies as human beings at all. He uses all kinds of cruel and ruthless methods that reveal his bones without any care.
In a sense, they felt that the Charles was more terrifying than Dumbledore or even Voldemort!
At this time, the issue of breeding the eight-eyed giant spiders was settled, and there was another eight-eyed giant spider breeding base in the Forbidden Forest. Charles was in a very good mood.
Then the basic goal of my visit to the Forbidden Forest this time has been achieved.
But there is one last thing, which is to find the trace of the Phoenix of Paradise. This is related to his third magic, Animagus transformation.
In order to find the Phoenix of Paradise, the map provided by Professor Sprout is of course very important. After all, that is where the founder of Hufflepuff first placed the Phoenix of Paradise eggs.
However, judging from the fact that the Hufflepuff headmasters later gained nothing, there must be some variables involved.
At times like this, the natives like the eight-eyed giant spiders who have lived in the forbidden forest for a long time can help.
Immediately, Charles took out the ancient map provided to him by Professor Sprout and showed the eight-eyed giant spiders where this place was.
After seeing the place marked on the map, the eight-eyed giant spiders were surprised and doubtful.
"This place?"
"Isn't this the territory of the unicorns deep in the forbidden forest?"
Hearing this, Charles raised his eyebrows slightly.
"unicorn?"
"group?"
He knew that there were unicorns deep in the forbidden forest.
After all, there is a special description about this in the original book. Voldemort made a special trip to the Forbidden Forest just to drink the blood of a unicorn to restore some of his magic power.
However, Ciel had never expected that, according to the words of the Acromanthus, there seemed to be more than one or two unicorns in the depths of the Forbidden Forest, but a group? !
At this moment, Charles suddenly remembered one thing, that is, Hagrid, the game keeper, seemed to have a lot of unicorn materials.
For example, blankets and bags made of unicorn hair.
You know, unicorn hair is also an extremely precious material. The powerful unicorn hair can even be used as material for making wands, which is very popular among wizards.
Such precious materials were certainly not purchased by Hagrid, but must have been obtained from the Forbidden Forest.
If there were only one or two unicorns in the Forbidden Forest, how long would it take Hagrid to collect enough fur to make blankets and bags?
Thinking about it from this perspective, there should indeed be a group of unicorns in the Forbidden Forest.
But this is the most unreasonable part, because unicorns are not animals that live in large groups.
This animal is pure and noble in nature. It lives alone and at most lives in a small family group of two or three individuals.
In a sense, this is also because unicorn materials are too coveted. If too many of them gather together, they will easily attract poachers.
Therefore, large groups of unicorns are not seen in the magical world at all.
But according to the eight-eyed giant spiders, there are more than one or two unicorns in the Forbidden Forest, there are at least a dozen or twenty, all concentrated in one area.
This goes against the nature of unicorns!
"Unless they are attracted by something, they will do something that goes against their nature and stay in this area."
When he thought of this possibility, Charles' eyes lit up.
The magic of unicorns is typical divine magic. The magic that can attract them must be of a higher level.
As a legendary magical animal, the phoenix's sacred magic power is far greater than that of the phoenix, so it is very likely that it attracts unicorns.
In other words, the Phoenix must still be in this area and has not disappeared, but it has been covered up by some means and no one has found it!
Charles immediately asked the eight-eyed giant spiders to take him to the unicorn's territory.
Aragog obediently let Charles climb onto his back, and then they began to travel through the forest.
Even though it is blind, spiders don't really rely on their eyes to grasp directions.
Having stayed in the Forbidden Forest for so many years, Aragog was familiar with the nearby terrain and traveled along the way as if it were flat ground.
In addition, the eight-eyed giant spider is huge in size, and it can cross more than ten meters with a light step. Its speed in the forbidden forest is even faster than that of a car.
Half an hour later, they took Charles deep into the forbidden forest, until they heard the breath of sacred magic coming from an area ahead, and then the eight-eyed giant spiders showed disgust and stopped.
"Lord Ciel, the disgusting smell of those unicorns has drifted over here. Their territory is ahead."
Aragog's eyes showed solemnity and fear.
They also wanted the unicorns' territory. After all, this is the center of the forbidden forest and the food is more abundant there.
But those unicorns are not to be trifled with.
In terms of individual strength, the Unicorn is inherently stronger than a single Acromanthus, not to mention that it also possesses divine magic power that has a restraining effect on the Acromanthus.
A dozen unicorns living together are not something they can easily take down.
What's more, every time they set foot on this place, Aragog and the others would have a creepy feeling, as if there was some more powerful sacred magic in this place.
Once the magic power awakens, they will be wiped out in an instant like ants.
Because of this, the eight-eyed giant spiders usually don't approach this area, and they would not have come here this time if Charles hadn't driven them.
At this moment, as the eight-eyed giant spiders gathered, one silver-white figure after another appeared in the forbidden forest ahead.
The moonlight shone down, shining silver, and rising up silver mist filled with sacred magic, making the area ahead look like a pure land on earth.
In contrast, the eight-eyed giant spiders outside this area, and Charles standing on the backs of the eight-eyed giant spiders, seemed to have crawled out of a dirty hell, twisted and evil.
The unicorns looked at him with disgust, and an especially tall unicorn stepped out from among them and snorted.
"Acromantula? Filthy and dark creatures like you are not welcome here. Leave now!"
After issuing the warning, its gaze immediately fell on Charles again.
At first, the unicorns thought that Charles was captured by these giant eight-eyed spiders.
But soon, when they saw the Acromanthus respectfully letting Charles get off their backs, the unicorns realized that Charles was the one who controlled these Acromanthus.
The Unicorn King growled with increasing disgust.
"You born evil little Slytherin wizard, take your minions and leave now..."
But the next moment, the words that came out of Charles' mouth made the unicorns stunned.
Charles said righteously.
"Slytherin? How could you slander me like this?"
"I'm from Hufflepuff!"
The unicorns became agitated for a moment, with human-like suspicion in their eyes.
Hufflepuff?
When did Hufflepuff get mixed up with Acromantulas?
After the commotion, the Unicorn King growled again.
"No matter which college you are from, you are not welcome here!"
When Charles heard this, he sneered and retorted.
"I heard that unicorns are the purest and most righteous creatures. Now it seems that they don't live up to their reputation."
The Unicorn King's eyes revealed anger.
"What did you say?!"
Ciel sneered even more.
"You just wanted to expel a Hufflepuff student from the Forbidden Forest? Is there anything more shameless than that?"
"The Forbidden Forest was originally built by our Hufflepuff House. It has been legally owned by Hufflepuff since ancient times. This is our Hufflepuff territory. You are the outsiders. How dare you expel me? Do you have any shame?"
"Besides, this area was left by the founder of Hufflepuff for future generations. You have gathered here and occupied it in groups, intending to take the heritage of the founder of Hufflepuff, which has a clear owner, for yourself."
"Words like thief and robber are not enough to describe you!"
The unicorns were stunned for a moment, and then felt guilty.
Because what Charles said seemed to make some sense, they were indeed outsiders, and they did gather here because of something hidden here.
Even when the previous Hufflepuff head of house came, they were quickly expelled. Now they really have no confidence to refute Charles.
But the things here are too important to the unicorns. Their entire tribe has been guarding here for hundreds of years, and they would never let Charles and the eight-eyed giant spiders set foot here.
Therefore, the Unicorn King's gaze gradually turned colder.
"Little wizard, this is your last warning. Leave here immediately, or we cannot guarantee that we will not hurt you."
Upon hearing this, Charles also smiled brightly.
"You should have said it earlier. In the end, it all depends on your strength."
"In that case..."
He looked at the sacred magic emanating from the unicorns, a bit of disdain in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth slowly opened.
"I want to see, with this little bit of weak divine magic, what right do you have to shout in front of me?"
"What kind of darkness can this little bit of divine magic drive away?"
The next moment, under the shocked gazes of the unicorns, Charles waved his wand again.
The cold platinum light shone, the sacred kingdom poured out, and the indescribable image of the Only I God Mantra also appeared in front of the unicorns.
Looking at that indescribable image that was mysterious, divinity and evil intertwined, the Unicorn King felt a sense of terror.
"This……"
"What exactly is this?"
Ciel grinned.
“This is the true sacredness!”
"Strong!"
“Cold!”
"Crush everything!"
"Everything that stands in my way is darkness!"
"You guys want to stop me?"
"Then you are also evil and should be crushed!"
As he spoke, the body of the indescribable demon god was wrapped in a white-gold sacred kingdom, and blazing flames seemed to annihilate all darkness.
Then, the ancient dragon's head on the demon god was raised high, and the gathering of almost tangible sacred magic power was visible to the naked eye.
The next moment, it turned into a proud dragon roar and whistled out!
The platinum-colored sacred roar!
The boiling holy magic power poured out, submerging all the unicorns.
The unicorns cried out in fear.
Compared with this extremely powerful divine magic, their silvery-white magic is just like children playing house.
Perhaps the total magic power of a dozen unicorns is not weaker than this sacred roar, but the difference in the nature of the magic power is too great to be contended with!
The sacred magic might not be able to kill these unicorns, but it could make them feel overwhelming majesty, as if they were facing a being far higher and more sacred than themselves.
The unicorns' bodies were shaking, but they were all holding on, unwilling to bow their heads. The unicorn king was still struggling to resist the sacred dragon roar, raising his head and neighing.
"You can destroy us, but you can never make us bow our heads or surrender."
"We have been guarding this place for hundreds of years and will never give up at this moment!"
When Charles heard the unicorns' declaration, his eyes lit up.
Hearing this, it is even more certain.
The phoenix's eggs must still be here, and may even be close to hatching, which is why the unicorns are so desperate.
But then, his brows furrowed.
Compared to the dark wizards and eight-eyed giant spiders who can be easily surrendered, the bones of the unicorn are much harder.
It was obvious that they had encountered a force that they were simply unable to resist, but they were still resisting, as if they would never surrender.
Maybe they would rather the entire clan die in battle than let Charles find the unicorn eggs.
"Trouble, trouble, it's really troublesome."
"That's why I hate it most when this kind of religious being is against me. Even destroying it doesn't seem to achieve my goal."
Charles frowned, and the next moment, a flash of inspiration came to his mind.
After a moment, he stopped the sacred dragon roar of the Only God Spell and looked at the unicorns with admiration.
"Yes, you are very good. Congratulations on passing my test."
The unicorns, who had just breathed a sigh of relief from the dragon's roar, looked at Charles with confusion on their faces.
"???"
"what are you saying?"
"What test?"
Ciel said as a matter of course.
"Of course it's a test of whether you are qualified to follow the Phoenix."
"The phoenix is about to be resurrected. It is a mythical creature, the most pure and sacred being. The phoenix pales in comparison. How can ordinary people follow and serve it?"
"So of course I had to test you, and now I am very satisfied with the result."
"You have been guarding for hundreds of years. You have made great contributions. You have not given up in the face of an overwhelming enemy. Only people with such character are qualified to follow the Phoenix. Congratulations on passing the test."
The unicorns became agitated.
The Unicorn King was also stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted.
"Don't try to trick us!"
"Who are you? What qualifications do you have to test us on behalf of the Phoenix?"
Charles said quietly with a look of pity in his eyes.
"Pathetic! Have you not figured out what I am even now?"
"Use your brains to think carefully, what in the world can possess such powerful divine magic?"
"He knows the information about the Phoenix, and he came all the way here, and he wants to test you for the Phoenix. What's his motive?"
"..."
"Now, haven't you figured it out yet?"
The unicorns pondered over Ciel's words.
Possessing such powerful divine magic, and caring so much about the Phoenix...
The Unicorn King looked dumbfounded and incredulous.
"Could it be that you..."
"You are also a phoenix?!"
The next moment, Charles laughed in appreciation.
In an instant, he activated his Animagus and transformed into a giant bird with golden feathers, graceful and elegant, shaped like a phoenix. He flapped his wings and flew into the sacred kingdom, standing on the head of the demon god summoned by the spell of the One God.
"Congratulations, you got it."
"Yes, I am also a phoenix, and a distant relative of the one you are guarding."
The Unicorn King and the unicorns were stunned and started whispering to each other, which seemed to be accompanied by quarrels.
The Unicorn King couldn't help but ask questions.
"Since you are the Phoenix, why do you use such strange magic?"
"That thing doesn't look like the magic of the Phoenix at all!"
"Why did that sound just now sound like the roar of an ancient dragon in the legend?"
Charles responded calmly and said it as a matter of course.
"Have you ever seen the magic of the Phoenix?"
"Do you understand or do I understand?"
"Do you know why the Immortal Bird is the most sacred and powerful magical animal? Because we will keep improving, unlike you who only rely on blood and instinct and don't think about making progress."
"My magic is eclectic. Since I have seen the ancient dragon magic, of course I have to absorb it."
"Why, do you know more about the magic of the Phoenix than I, a Phoenix?"
The Unicorn King thought about it and it seemed to make sense.
I'm not a phoenix, how can I understand this?
Such powerful sacred magic could only be possessed by the Phoenix.
This time, the Unicorn King lowered his head completely.
Ciel changed back into human form and said with satisfaction.
"Okay, take me to see my only relative in this world."
The Unicorn King hesitated for a moment, but nodded and ordered the other unicorns to stay here. He took Charles to a place in the forbidden forest.
Soon, when they came to a rock wall, Charles' eyes began to fluctuate slightly.
Perhaps an ordinary wizard could not feel it, but with his spiritual power that had leapt to the medieval level, he could clearly feel a vast sacred magic power hidden deep within the rock wall.
The Unicorn King whispered.
"The phoenix's eggs are right here."
"After the protective magic of the founder of Hufflepuff failed, we sensed the breath of the phoenix and gathered here spontaneously. We brought the phoenix eggs here to guard them."
"We also used our own magic power to form a shield outside, which not only helped the Phoenix hatch, but also isolated the Phoenix's breath."
Charles suddenly realized what was going on after hearing this.
No wonder every Hufflepuff headmaster came here and found nothing. The protection measures for these unicorns are really in place.
Then, Charles followed the Unicorn King through a crack in the rock wall and headed underground.
Soon, a soft silver-white light appeared before their eyes, which was the magic power of the unicorns.
And deep in the silver-white light, there is a hint of golden magic shining.
The one that emitted the golden magic power was an egg with fire-like patterns on it.
The moment he saw the egg, Charles' heart was filled with burning passion.
The eggs of the Phoenix of Paradise have been found!
The Unicorn King heaved a sigh of relief at this time and said to Charles.
"You came just in time. Actually, there is something wrong with this egg, and there is nothing we can do about it."
"Phoenix eggs require powerful divine magic to hatch."
"The founder of Hufflepuff prepared a sacred magic for it, but over time, that magic has become ineffective."
"Later, we used our magic to create a hatching environment for it, and that did work. But in the past few decades, the phoenix eggs have remained in this state and have not been able to make any further progress."
"We suspect that our divine magic is not strong enough, so we cannot fully hatch the Phoenix."
"Since you are of the same race as it and also possess such powerful divine magic, it is only right for you to hatch the phoenix."
Charles' eyes suddenly became clear.
He also understood why this phoenix egg was not mentioned in the original book.
It seems that under normal circumstances, this thing cannot be hatched at all.
After all, when it comes to divine magic, even someone as strong as Dumbledore is only strong in Transfiguration, and the strength of his divine magic is far inferior to that of Ciel.
If Ciel doesn't appear in this world, the phoenix will not have the conditions to hatch!
Then, Charles waved his wand and once again unleashed a powerful sacred spell.
The platinum-colored light swept in like a tide, drowning the silver-white light emitted by the unicorns and enveloping the phoenix egg.
In an instant, Charles could feel the cheers and joy coming from the phoenix's egg.
Even the flame-like patterns on the egg were now glowing with golden red light!
"If you provide this intensity of divine magic power every day for three months, the last Phoenix of Paradise in this world will be hatched in at most three months!"
Charles clenched his fists.
The Phoenix of Paradise is a myth left over from ancient times and had become extinct in the Middle Ages.
Needless to say, the power of its sacred magic is so powerful that it will be an epic enhancement to the Holy Kingdom and the Only God Spell.
Not to mention that its magic power can also prolong life, which is stronger than the Philosopher's Stone.
In order to obtain its bloodline to complete the third magical Animagus transformation, it will only take three months. Charles can wait!
At this time, the Unicorn King witnessed the changes in the Phoenix Egg and became excited.
This tribe has been waiting for the phoenix for hundreds of years.
If the phoenix was born in its generation, they would be able to follow the phoenix, and their long-cherished wish of hundreds of years would be fulfilled.
For this, the Unicorn King can do anything!
When the Unicorn King heard Charles say that the Phoenix would hatch in three months at most, he couldn't help but burst into tears.
At this moment, Charles turned his head and looked at the Unicorn King with a strange look in his eyes.
It is true that you can get a phoenix in three months.
But unicorns are also magical animals with extremely powerful magic, so we can't let them go.
There is only one phoenix, and it cannot be bred, but there is a unicorn, and it can provide points continuously!
Therefore, Ciel spoke to the Unicorn King.
"Don't cry yet, I have something going on here."
As he spoke, Charles coughed twice.
"Hatching the phoenix's eggs is a huge burden even for me."
"It's not the same as it was back then. My magic power is weakening. I need to damage the source to incubate it, so..."
"Do you have to provide some nutrition expenses?"
After these words were spoken, the Unicorn King was stunned for a moment, then a look of guilt appeared in his eyes, and he dug his hooves on the ground nervously twice.
"Nutrition expenses...seem like they should be provided."
"But we don't have any money. We have been guarding the Phoenix here for generations, and we don't have any treasures."
It feels a little guilty.
“It seems we can’t offer anything…”
Looking at the Unicorn King like this, Charles was a little speechless.
This guy is upright, but he doesn't seem to be very smart?
Then, Charles spoke.
"You don't need to provide any treasures."
"How about this, the unicorn's blood contains powerful divine magic power, which can barely make up for my loss."
"How about setting up a voluntary blood donation station in Unicorn, and each unicorn can come here regularly to donate blood voluntarily, as a nutrition fee for me, what do you think?"
"How about donating blood once every seven days?"
The Unicorn King stood there, seemingly thinking about what Ciel had said about the voluntary blood donation.
Then when he heard that he had to donate blood once every seven days, the Unicorn King shook his head repeatedly.
"No, no..."
"Seven days is too long. What if your nutrition is not enough and it affects the hatching of the phoenix?"
"Three days, donate blood at least once every three days!"
When Charles nodded and roared in astonishment, the Unicorn King looked even more excited and said to Charles.
"Thank you, we are satisfied as long as we donate a little blood. You are worthy of being the elder of the Phoenix. You are really kind-hearted!"
"You are a great person!"
