The Magical Creatures Being Raised

Lucien stepped into the gourd space.

Norbert, who had been following Liuguang around Liuguang, suddenly ran towards him, spreading his wings and flapping them a few times before taking flight.

"Mother!"

The little Fire Dragon cried out a few times and then flew straight into Lucien's arms.

"It's better to call him Dad."

Lucien hugged the little Fire Dragon like he was hugging a big dog, and said in a helpless tone.

As expected of Fire Dragon, its growth is indeed rapid.

In just a few days, Norbert's size had doubled.

"Okay, Mother."

Norbert babbled incoherently, still unable to break his habit.

Lucien was helpless about this, perhaps because Norbert was still young and the Fire Dragon's instincts still took over.

Fine, let them call us that if they want.

Anyway, no one else can understand it.

Holding Norbert for a checkup, they confirmed that his development had been normal during this period.

Unlike when it was first born, its wings are not as wrinkled as they were when it was born; now they are much wider and thicker.

Its scales have a good luster and are all full and flawless, and the golden lines on them are more obvious than when it was born.

Lucien softly summoned Liuguang, and a fist-sized ball of Purifying Fire floated to Norbert's front, which Norber swallowed in a few gulps.

"It's time for complementary food after the main meal."

As he mixed brandy and chicken blood, Lucien watched with a smile as Liuguang played with Norbert.

I only discovered it a few days ago during a check-up; it turns out Norbert is a female Norwegian Ridgeback.

However, female Fire Dragon are usually larger than males and are more aggressive.

It would be better to train Norbert to become the king of the Norwegian Ridgeback Clan.

Well, the Norwegian Ridgeback was relatively rare, so the process of conquering it probably wouldn't have been too complicated or time-consuming.

Just as Malfoy explained before, Norwegian Ridgeback was very aggressive, especially when facing its own kind.

It's practically the same as Erumpent that blows up its mating partner; it's made itself a rare species purely through its own strength.

After preparing the chicken blood brandy, the little Fire Dragon devoured it in no time, and even let out a satisfied burp and a tiny spit of dragon fire afterward.

The Norwegian Ridgeback's fire-breathing ability was developed relatively early among Fire Dragon.

Looking around the gourd-shaped space, it was quite spacious.

Aside from Norbert, he didn't keep any other Magical Creatures.

There's no way around it; Fire Dragon have an extremely strong sense of territory.

If you were to keep Norbert alongside other Magical Creatures, it would be like feeding the child a buffet.

Although the little Fire Dragon is only recently born, its naturally strong physique and developing dragon breath already pose a threat to those gentle and weak animals, so it must be provided with its own space.

Lucien walked along the edge of the space, wand in hand, continuing to expand the space as Newt had personally instructed, making Norbert's living environment even more comfortable.

Before leaving, he conjured up some toys for Norbert to keep the child entertained when he was bored.

As for the toys that were transformed before, they have been "played" to pieces.

Leave the gourd where the little Fire Dragon lives.

Lucien entered another gourd-shaped space.

The creatures featured are more diverse, mostly harmless and friendly Magical Creatures like the Pygmy Puff and the Diricawl.

Approaching a large, unassuming tree, there is a small hole at about Lucien height.

Lucien bent down slightly and looked into the tree hollow.

If the surface of a tree is simple, then the inside of a tree hole is not.

The tree hollow was covered with Galleon, Silver Sickle, and Knut, with Galleon being the most abundant, making the hollow gleam with gold.

A small, white-gold Niffler lay on its back in the corner, each of its two little front paws cradling a gold coin, its belly rising and falling, clearly fast asleep.

Jinji's adorable appearance made Lucien smile. He then took out a few coins from his pocket and gently placed them into the tree hole.

I scratched Jinji's belly with my finger, but it just clung to the gold coins in its arms and didn't wake up.

In a few days, I'll give you some other tricks.

Lucien said softly.

I've already written to Aunt Penelope asking her to send some jewelry and other valuables to the school; they should arrive soon.

The Niffler likes Winky, precious items, and things with a variety of styles.

According to Newt, this is about the Niffler's mental health.

Haha, raising Niffler is quite an expense, luckily I'm fairly well-off.

"Neigh~"

A soft neighing sound, like that of a foal, rang out beside him, and Lucien felt his trouser leg being nudged a few times.

Looking down, I saw Aurora indeed.

Reaching out to touch its forehead, Lucien led the golden Unicorn to an open area.

He took out berries washed in the lake water and moonflower leaves to feed Aurora, and was about to activate his Eye of Magic Sight Aurora's Magic Circuit.

Suddenly, Lucien noticed a wing-like pattern on Aurora's golden fur, near her shoulder blade, which upon closer inspection resembled a cloud.

Looking at the other side, sure enough, there was one there too.

It wasn't there yesterday.

Neither Asterion nor Selenia had similar patterns on their bodies.

A mutation?

Miniature vortexes appeared in Lucien's eyes.

With the help of the Eye of Magic Sight, Lucien saw the changes in Aurora's Magic Circuit.

A normal Unicorn's Magic Circuit is approximately a closed circle, and Aurora, after being repaired, also has this shape.

Now Aurora's circuit has some more undulations, like a few more waves on a calm lake, but they are not obvious.

After recalling and searching through the contents of the Magic Weaving, Lucien quickly determined that this was a benign circuit mutation.

When you actually modify the circuits of Magical Creatures, some mutations will occur, some for good and some for bad.

Aurora was only repaired at the time, without any real modification, so the degree of mutation was also mild.

Fortunately, it was a benign mutation, which put Lucien at ease.

Well, I estimate the Magic Circuit will be completely stable by the summer vacation.

Only then will we be able to see the specific positive impact of this circuit mutation on Aurora.

In fact, the Magic Weaving is best used during the growth period of Magical Creatures, when their bodies are stronger and their circuits are more malleable.

Although children are highly malleable in their early years, they are still more vulnerable, and therefore more dangerous.

Following the spells contained in the Magic Weaving, Lucien cast more than a dozen spells with different effects, which acted on the circuits within the little Unicorn's body.

Finally, he took out two jars of potion, smeared one on Aurora's body, especially her lower back, and fed the other to Aurora mouth.

"Don't worry, it'll be alright. You'll feel better faster after taking the medicine."

"But... it's really bitter..."

The little Unicorn let out a soft cry, and Lucien understood its meaning.

"How about Lemon Sherbet after you finish eating?"

As he spoke, Lucien flipped his hand as if by magic, and a yellow hard candy wrapped in transparent candy wrapper appeared in his palm, with snow-white powder still sticking to its surface.

Aurora looked at the candy in Lucien's hand and called out timidly a few more times:

"Could I have another one, just one more, that brown frog?"

Lucien immediately realized that they were talking about Chocolate Frog.

So I took out a box of Chocolate Frog, but didn't open the lid, lest the Chocolate Frog release itself back into the wild.

Aurora's eyes lit up, and she obediently drank the potion from the bottle.

Lucien then fed the little Unicorn both the Lemon Sherbet and the Chocolate Frog.

Surprisingly, the Unicorn has a sweet tooth; maybe it has something in common with Dumbledore.
