Chapter 229 The Secret of the Golden Egg
If you ask Rolf what his biggest gain was in the first event of the Triwizard Tournament, it would probably be the Rock Thief Dragon Egg.
Because of the cracks on the eggshell, the kind-hearted Rolf picked it up and repaired it. After several months of incubation, it is finally going to hatch today.
Along a steep mountain road, Rolf, Shirley and Hermione climbed up.
Hermione pinched her waist, looked up at the top of the mountain, and asked breathlessly:
"Didn't you say that the Rock Thief Dragon Egg is going to hatch? Why are we going to Norbert's nest?"
"Because Norbert is incubating that dragon egg." Rolf smiled.
The hatching of dragon eggs requires flames, and not ordinary flames. It must be the kind of magic fire that contains powerful power, otherwise the hatched dragon will be born deficient.
Dragon breath, phoenix fireworks, and Gublai fairy fire all belong to the category of magic fire. If you don't have these, you can also use dragon crystals to enhance the magic power of flames to hatch dragon eggs.
Of course, the best flame is still dragon breath, which is equivalent to breastfeeding.
In Rolf's box, there was only one dragon, Norbert. Although it had not given birth yet, it was responsible for hatching eggs.
"Norbert is a Norwegian Spinosaurus. Would it be willing to hatch the eggs of the Rock Thief Dragon?" Hermione asked doubtfully.
"Normally, it would not." Rolf explained:
"But Norbert is in estrus recently. The hormone secretion in its body is very high. Under the action of hormones, it will actively hatch dragon eggs."
The overflow of maternal love is common to any animal, even the ferocious dragon.
The three of them quickly came to the top of the mountain and found Norbert's nest.
At this time, Norbert was lying in the pit, biting the smoking sheep carcass, and his long tail was constantly swinging while eating.
There were also various charred bones scattered on the ground. They were partially melted and distorted in shape, and the air was full of the smell of barbecue.
Norbert looked up at the three people. His eyes gleamed in the darkness like golden coals. He gave a warning breath, and his wings clattered, flapping in the stale air, stirring up a cloud of ash.
When the mother dragon is incubating dragon eggs, her personality will become extremely violent and she will attack anyone who wants to get close to the dragon eggs.
However, Rolf and Shirley raised Norbert since he was a child, and he was almost like their own daughter, so after slapping Norbert, he continued to eat mutton obediently.
In the center of the pit, there was also a dragon egg. It was dark black, and the surface of the eggshell was covered with tiny scales and dotted with bronze spots.
And inside the dragon egg, there was a continuous clicking sound.
When the young rock thief dragon came out of the egg, it would break the eggshell with its tail, and the tip of its tail was already well developed at that time.
The three people waited patiently for a while, and finally the eggshell finally broke completely.
A wrinkled black baby dragon broke out of its shell. Its body was covered with black scales and was very smooth. There was a circle of tassel-like spikes on its head and its eyes were bulging.
Rolf checked the sex of the rock thief dragon and found that it was a male dragon. He checked its body and finally weighed it.
Shirley stood aside and recorded all the data in a notebook.
The rock thief dragon made a wheezing sound, obviously it was very hungry. It crawled towards Norbert and wanted to suck milk.
Although dragons are oviparous animals, female dragons can also secrete milk.
Rolf had tasted fire dragon milk in the Romanian fire dragon reserve before. It tasted okay, but it was easy to get hot after drinking it.
But Norbert was still a big girl, where could she get milk.
So, it kicked the ugly guy on the ground with one claw.
Rolf pulled the corner of his mouth and quickly took out the brandy and chicken blood that he had prepared long ago.
After the rock thief dragon tasted the flavor, it put its head into the basin, as if sipping breast milk, licking it with its tiny tongue.
Shirley watched for a while and smiled: "This guy is much stronger than Norbert when he was a child."
"That's right." Rolf also nodded and said: "At that time, Hagrid had been using the flames in the fireplace to hatch Norbert.
Although I later added dragon crystal and the flames of the fire ash snake, it was a little late, so the effect was still not good enough..."
Rolf stopped talking halfway, and Shirley and Hermione looked up at the boy, only to hear him muttering repeatedly:
"Norbert hatched by dragon crystal... Dragon crystal?!"
Rolf suddenly widened his eyes and looked at the two girls and said: "I seem to know that How to open the golden egg. "
Hearing the boy say so, coupled with the dragon crystal he just repeated, Shirley and Hermione looked at each other and immediately realized:
"You mean using dragon crystal?"
"That's right!" Rolf nodded and said excitedly:
"Those golden eggs are also dragon eggs. If you want to open them, you have to hatch them in the same way as dragon eggs.
So we put them in ordinary flames, it has no effect, it must be magic fire. "
"No wonder in the first project, we were asked to collect dragon crystals, the purpose is to make magic fire and hatch golden eggs." Hermione continued.
"That's right." Shirley narrowed her eyes and agreed:
"I remember Ludo told us that dragon crystals are as important as golden eggs, and they are related to the second project... He must be reminding us!"
After the three of them finished their analysis, they quickly left Norbert's nest and returned to the cabin.
Rolf opened a box, took out his golden eggs and dragon crystals, and then came to the fireplace and put the golden eggs into the fire.
Soon, the three-headed dragon engraved on the golden egg roared like a fire dragon.
Luofu put the dragon crystal in. As the dragon crystal began to release heat, the temperature of the flame suddenly increased. Wandering sparks floated out, and the heat rippled and shone around the dragon egg.
The three-headed dragon engraved on the golden egg suddenly changed. It opened its mouth wide and sucked the surrounding flames into its mouth like a dragon sucking water.
Just hearing a slight but clear "click", the golden egg cracked:
It was like a big watermelon, cut into eight equal parts, each segment spread flat to one side, and spread loudly in the fireplace.
In the center of the golden egg, a palm-sized statue appeared:
Its skin is iron-grey, and its dark green hair is long and disheveled, exactly like the mermaid in the black lake.
When the statue was in flames, it made an extremely terrifying, high-pitched scream, which was like the noise of a saw pulling wood.
Rolf thought for a while, took out the mermaid statue from the fireplace, waved his wand again, and a large ball of water appeared in the air, and then put the mermaid into the water balloon.
At that moment, the mermaid's voice became extremely beautiful, and she sang in the water:
Your treasure has been lost,
We know where to hide.
Take that gift now,
Come to us,
We will guide you along the way.
Remember,
You only have two hours left!
