Spirit Cat

Oren and his two companions quickly left the Oak Barrel Tavern, just like three ordinary tourists, without attracting any attention.

Meanwhile, Kyle, still in the Dragon Sanctuary, was unaware that the Professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts who had tried to kill him had also arrived in Romania.

He's busy playing with the civet Kneazle on the ground right now.

The Kneazle is also Fantastic Beasts, much larger than the Kneazle, with oval eyes that look like two Winky sapphires.

However, this creature is extremely rare in Britain, and this was the first time he had ever seen one alive.

Kyle scratched the Kneazle's chin with his hand, and the Kneazle tilted its head back comfortably, making a purring sound in its throat.

"Shakir seems to like you a lot."

Professor Locknir squatted down next to Kyle and smiled. "It's usually very fierce, and it almost never trusts a stranger like this."

He looked at the Kneazle's exposed belly, his eyes filled with envy.

Let alone strangers, even when facing its owner, the Kneazle almost never shows its belly.

"No, why should I?" Professor Locknir felt a pang of jealousy.

However, Kyle had no doubt that he said Kneazle were fierce.

Don't be fooled by its docile appearance now; it wasn't like this just now, chasing after a guy who was stealing dragon eggs, scratching and biting him.

Kneazle are naturally agile, with long, sharp claws and teeth that can easily leave a wound on their opponent.

Most importantly, when attacked by magic, they will split into several, multiplying their danger level.

They are immune to magical attacks and their numbers increase with each attack; this alone is enough to drive most wizards facing the Kneazle to despair.

That person just now was... When the dragon keeper finally passed by, he even laughed out loud, as if he had seen a savior.

It's worth mentioning that, with the help of the surrounding Masters of Fantastic Beasts, the problem of stealing the dragon eggs was completely resolved in less than five minutes after the distress signal was sent.

Then the Auror from the Romanian Ministry of Magic arrived and escorted them away from the Dragon Sanctuary.

The whole process was smooth and natural, as if it had been rehearsed many times before.

Kyle had wanted to help, but ended up just watching the whole thing... There was nothing he could do; Newt was watching the whole time, so he couldn't get involved.

After petting the Kneazle for a while, Chris came back.

"The man who ran away is named Roy, an Austria wizard." He handed several photos to the group. "The Ministry of Magic is already negotiating with them."

"I think the chances of catching them are slim."

Professor Locknir shook his head and casually put the photo away.

These are matters for the Romanian Ministry of Magic to consider; they are no longer their concern.

Kyle looked at them, puzzled, and asked, "You all knew this would happen?"

"I suppose so. We did discuss a similar situation when we first arrived here."

Chris said, "But at the time, everyone thought these guys would wait until we all left before making their move. We didn't expect them to be so impatient."

"Yes, we were underestimated." Professor Locknir reached out to pet the Kneazle, only to have his hand lashed out by its tail.

He ignored it and just kept touching her.

At worst, he'll just get scratched a couple of times; he's very experienced with this kind of thing...

The Kneazle merely glanced back at him, too lazy to bother with him.

This incident was just a minor episode, and soon no one was talking about it anymore.

Charlie then arrived; he had requested a day off and planned to take Kyle on a fun-filled trip around the settlement near the reserve.

Because of his age, Charlie didn't take Kyle to the bar... In fact, he wanted to, but with Chris there, he had to hold back a bit.

However, the shops around the settlement are also quite interesting.

The robes in the Dragon Clothing Store were completely different from those in Madam Malkin's Diagon Alley. They were all made of rough, sturdy fabric that felt rough to the touch. There was also a Dragon Hide robe there, but it was ridiculously expensive.

The magic item shop was also quite interesting; Kyle bought some Dragon -related accessories there.

He originally wanted to buy another Dragon model, but Charlie whispered to him that the models here were just for ripping off tourists; they had no special features and were twice as expensive as elsewhere.

If Kyle really likes it, he can just go to Diagon Alley to buy it; there's no difference between there and here.

"If you're looking for a gift, those dragon tooth ornaments would be nice," he suggested. "John's craftsmanship is the best here, and the materials are all top-notch."

After leaving the magic item shop, they went to the Potions shop, which was the largest shop in the settlement.

The shop mainly sells herbal remedies for treating injuries, with bottled Essence of Dittany and burn treatment solutions displayed on an entire wall.

In addition, the shop also sells many local specialty herbs.

Kyle stared curiously at a string of black vines hanging from the roof beside the door.

It was covered with fist-sized black things, somewhat like Snargaluff, but the color was wrong, and the fruits were smaller.

"This is a bubble vine."

Charlie explained, "That fruit explodes when it's hit, filling the surrounding area with sticky bubbles."

"However, there is no danger. In fact, locals often use it to clean their houses. The method is very simple: just throw the fruit on the wall and then rinse it with water."

I've tried it a few times before, and the cleaning effect is very good.

"Oh!" Kyle was intrigued. "Can I get my hair washed?"

"Wash my hair?" Charlie thought for a moment, then said uncertainly, "I guess it's okay..."

To be honest, he really didn't know that.

"Yes!" The shop owner, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke up, "Moreover, the initial Sleekeazy's Hair Potion contains a large amount of Bubble Vine fruit."

"I bought it, how much?"

"One, two Sickle."

The shop owner smiled and said, "One Galleon will get you ten."

"And what about the whole thing?" Kyle asked.

There are fifty-nine fruits on this plate in total.

The shop assistant immediately became much more enthusiastic, "If you want both, you only need to pay five Galleon, and you can also have this vine for free."

These vines are very strong and extremely resilient; even Dragon cannot break free from them in a short time.

If you don't believe me, you can ask your friend; he's probably a dragon breeder.

Charlie nodded.

There are many Bubble Vine vines in the reserve. Before, when there weren't enough cages, they would use these vines to transport injured and unconscious Dragon. They are indeed very sturdy.

"Alright, I'll take it." Kyle took out five Galleon.

The shop assistant immediately picked it and wrapped it up, vine and fruit together.

Kyle also bought some other herbs, which weren't particularly rare, but were all locally available.
