Deep in the Forbidden Forest.

The full moon's glow spilled across the earth.

Lucien and Liuguang arrived shortly after.

An instinct led Lucien to turn his head and look in a certain direction.

He activated his Eye of Magic Sight, causing a black vortex to appear in each of his pupils.

Well, I could barely make out the shape of Unicorn.

However, the Unicorn was still too fast. Even with the enhanced dynamic vision of the Eye of Magic Sight, it was only enough to catch a glimpse of the Unicorn's afterimage as it ran.

But it's still better than before when we couldn't see Unicorn moving at all; back then, Unicorn were truly swift as the wind.

Then the pair of Unicorn, Asterion and Selenia, stood silently before him.

Lucien nodded slightly and took out a small crystal bottle from his pocket.

After unscrewing the bottle cap, a drop of Qilin Saliva was drawn out and manipulated with the wand to be fed into Selenia's mouth.

During this time, Lucien began to think about something else.

intuition.

The core of the book "Inspiration and Divination" provided by Malfoy is a set of meditation techniques.

First, use the spells recorded within to create an environment free from interference, then consume the specific potion.

Maintain a calm and tranquil state for at least one hour.

According to the book, this meditation method can enhance intuition and give wizards special inspiration.

For example, just now, his intuition told him where Selenia and the others would appear.

The last two Unicorn did indeed stop in that spot.

However, Lucien had only been using this meditation method for a short time, so he felt that while there was some effect, it wasn't very noticeable.

Yes, this intuition, or rather, inspiration, can be applied to Divination later on.

However, it also seems to be very helpful in the process of learning and research.

This cannot change one's magical talent, but it can help maintain a better state of mind.

When solving a problem or practicing magic, it's easier to come up with good ideas and explore better ways.

"Neigh--"

Selenia chirped softly a few times, attracting Lucien's attention.

"What's wrong?"

"Master, "Selenia said, "She feels that in another forty to sixty days, the child will be born."

Upon hearing Liuguang's translation, Lucien understood.

That is, about one and a half to two months, roughly.

Well, it seems like Tom will need his blood pack around that time.

Let me remind these two Unicorn.

"Liuguang, please tell her to try not to leave the depths of the Forbidden Forest before giving birth."

"Also, if it's time to give birth, come find me and I'll move them to a safe place."

Lucien was giving a warning that Voldemort would eventually send Quirrell to hunt Unicorn and use their blood to prolong his life.

He had actually considered putting Selenia and the others directly into the gourd space and waiting for things to calm down before doing anything further.

But it's probably just the nature of Unicorn; they don't like being restrained and prefer to run freely.

Since Liuguang's persuasion was ineffective, Lucien did not force them.

Lucien activated his Eye of Magic Sight to observe the Unicorn's Magic Circuit.

It must be said that the Magic Circuit within Magical Creatures are completely different from those of wizards.

If a wizard's Magic Circuit are like a large tree, then Unicorn's are more like a closed loop.

Magic flows continuously at all times, while a wizard only allows magic to flow when using magic; the two are completely different.

At the same time, Lucien also saw it in Selenia's abdomen.

There is a miniature version of a circular loop, which is expanding and contracting.

Yes, this must be Unicorn fetus in the womb.

Are Magic Circuit innate in Magical Creatures?

I wonder if human wizards are like this too, or if they need to experience a magical upheaval and awaken their magic before it manifests.

Lucien then recalled the Acromantula and the Mooncalf he had previously observed.

Their Magic Circuit are equally bizarre and varied.

No wonder, some of the wizards' magic is more or less less effective on Magical Creatures.

Furthermore, Transfiguration is even less effective at Transfiguration Magical Creatures.

The difference in these Magic Circuit is just too great!

To develop Transfiguration magic for Magical Creatures, the problem of Magic Circuit must be solved; a truly usable circuit must be constructed...

Suddenly, Lucien, who was deep in thought, noticed a long horn dangling in front of him.

"Master, Asterion says it has something it wants to give you."

Liuguang's voice appeared directly in Lucien's mind.

"It makes us follow along."

He let the little Qilin carry him on its back, following the two Unicorn all the way.

We arrived at a cave made of trees, covered with some vegetation.

Lucien glanced at it and guessed that this was the Unicorn's lair.

Asterion and Selenia entered the nest together.

He came out again a little while later.

Each of them had something in its mouth.

Asterion had a tuft of hair in his mouth, while Selenia had a long, spiraling horn.

"Master, this is what they want to give you."

Looking at the two items, Lucien immediately guessed what they were.

The tail hair and horn of Unicorn.

"Master, they say they want to thank you for giving them, uh, treasures."

Liuguang felt a little embarrassed halfway through the sound.

The treasure that Asterion and Selenia were talking about was nothing more than its own saliva.

But Liuguang still diligently performed her translation duties.

"They say this makes their offspring grow stronger and stronger, and they'll definitely grow into healthy and beautiful Unicorn."

Lucien nodded slightly, not surprised by this statement.

Unicorn are highly intelligent; if it weren't for the language barrier, they would be capable of communicating with humans.

Lucien reached out and took the Unicorn Tail Hair and horn.

It was covered with stardust-like brilliance.

Both of these are good things.

It can be used in both potions and alchemy, and both are extremely precious and rare.

Moreover, one of the most common materials used in wand making is Unicorn tail hair.

This demonstrates its authority and ease of use.

Lucien stuffed them into his pocket.

Whether you keep it for yourself or trade it with someone else, it's a great choice.

"Oh, Master, Asterion specifically told me that these were all taken from its body."

"Because I don't want to give its partner to someone else."

Upon hearing Liuguang's translation, Lucien's lips twitched involuntarily.

This Unicorn is quite interesting.

I saw Asterion affectionately nuzzle Selenia's cheek again, and this was already the umpteenth time tonight.

Lucien shook his head; he was quite clingy to his wife.

After bidding farewell to the two Unicorn, Lucien and Liuguang teleported away.

We arrived at an open space.

Just then, a group of Mooncalf were bathing in the moonlight, performing a strange and enchanting dance.

Lucien chuckled and took out a white gourd.

Several Mooncalf jumped out of the gourd's mouth one after another.

Faced with these suddenly appearing members of their own kind, the original group of Mooncalf curiously looked them over.

In just a few seconds, the two of them started dancing in the moonlight.

This is how Mooncalf socialize: regardless of anything else, they dance first!

I looked up and saw the perfectly round full moon.

Lucien took out a single leaf of Mandrake and put it in his mouth.

"Let's begin, Animagus's first step."
