A Perfect Opportunity to Test the Results of His Training

Silan's life was very difficult before she went to Hogwarts.

The biggest problem is having to worry about food every day.

He truly experienced hunger.

In order to feed himself and the others in the orphanage, he had to become very frugal.

We need to figure out how to make the most of the money we have, what the children in the orphanage can do, and how to use the information we gather to gain the greatest benefit...

This made him meticulous in his calculations, and also made him cautious.

He knew very well that the first prerequisite for climbing the social ladder in this world was to save his own life.

So even with the rooster and Felix Felicis prepared, Silan still dared not enter the Soul Library directly.

Who knows if Slytherin, that old guy who specializes in studying souls, has set any traps?

He certainly didn't want to go inside and have an ancient wizard suddenly emerge from the library, saying in a sinister tone, "I will impart to you all the knowledge I have gained in my life, but the price will be that you lose your memory."

In addition, the black smoke that billowed from the Basilisk's mouth when it destroyed the Horcrux has always bothered Silan.

These unknown and uncontrollable situations were a real thorn in Silan's side.

He won't take any risks without being prepared.

That's why he decided to first improve his proficiency in the [Animal Bloodline] stat.

Then, after extracting the skill from Fawkes, enter the Soul Library.

Whether it's Phoenix Rebirth or Instant Teleportation, the skills he draws will greatly increase his chances of survival.

Therefore, leveling up his proficiency is his primary goal right now.

For this reason, he has recently been trying every means to seduce Fawkes, taking it even more seriously than Snape's Potions.

"Eat more, don't be shy." Silan grabbed another handful of Tonguefire Grass seeds and placed them in front of Fawkes. "I have plenty more here."

Fawkes tucked its wings discreetly.

"Thank you, young friend."

"However, as far as I know, these seeds are quite valuable. My young friend has spent a lot of money on me recently, which makes me feel guilty."

Silan shook his head and said, "These are nothing when it comes to entertaining friends."

"But friends shouldn't be entertained all the time, otherwise it will only make them disliked."

Fawkes's voice was childish, but his tone was slow and deliberate, and his words were surprisingly mature, giving people a strange feeling.

"Please wait here for a moment, I'll be right back."

Fawkes flapped its wings, circled in the air for a moment, and then suddenly disappeared.

But soon, it reappeared without warning.

"Here are some Galleon; consider it payment for your seeds." Fawkes handed a money pouch hanging from his paw to Silan, saying slowly, "I'll give you more money if I need more later."

You're too kind.

"Take it."

Fawkes watched Silan quietly, bowed slightly to him, and disappeared after finishing the seed.

After spending more time with Silan, Fawkes learned that he was a Slytherin House student.

This surprised Fawkes.

Prewett seems like a kind and considerate person, so how come he's from Slytherin House?

Throughout its long life, it encountered many dark wizards from Slytherin House, all of whom were skilled at disguise and had malicious hearts.

This made Fawkes wonder to himself, "Could Prewett be the same way?"

"Perhaps he had another purpose in contacting me?"

These inexplicable thoughts made Fawkes feel somewhat awkward when facing Silan.

Silan frowned as she stared at the spot where Fawkes had disappeared, her hands unconsciously rummaging through her money pouch repeatedly.

"Am I being too hasty...?"

In an effort to increase her proficiency in [Animal Bloodline], Silan has been frequently playing with Fawkes recently, but with little success.

Fawkes always gave him a subtle sense of distance, and the slow increase in proficiency proved this.

As top-tier Magical Creatures, all Phoenix are extremely intelligent and cannot be bought off with food alone.

"Looks like I'll have to think of another way," Silan muttered to herself, hefting the money pouch in her hand.

While pondering a solution, Silan walked towards the Room of Requirement.

To quickly improve [Animal Bloodline] proficiency, Silan couldn't rely solely on Fawkes; she also had to utilize the Magical Creatures in her Suitcase. However, Norbert the Dragon had received Silan's one-on-one targeted training from a young age, resulting in an excessively high level of loyalty, making it impossible to level up any further.

Therefore, he could only shift his focus to the Basilisk and Lucia.

As soon as Silan stepped into the Suitcase, Lucia burst out of the woods and rushed towards him like a whirlwind.

"You've been getting lazier and lazier lately." Lucia's voice remained that of an elegant lady, her tone always high and mighty.

"Shouldn't you straighten out your attitude?" Silan glanced at it irritably.

"You swore before that you would leave once I learned the Occlumency, and now that I have, why are you still lingering here?"

"Fine, you won't leave, but you dare talk to me like that?"

Silan said this without any politeness.

Lucia's elegant demeanor vanished instantly.

Its eyes widened, and a human-like expression of disbelief crept onto its cat face.

"You're kicking me out?" Lucia exploded. "You're actually kicking me out? Fine, I'll leave!"

Feeling wronged, Lucia gritted her teeth and stubbornly walked outside, like a child shouting that she was going to run away from home.

"Here we go again." Silan shook her head helplessly as she watched Lucia's retreating figure.

After the cat has left too many times, it becomes as unconvincing as the boy who cried wolf.

He is now completely immune.

This time, he was determined to ignore it.

"Let's see how far you can go," Silan thought. "This is a good opportunity to test the results of my training."

Lucia walked slowly out, thinking that he would definitely call out to stop her within three steps, just like before.

Step.

Two steps.

Okay, hurry up and try to keep me here.

Lucia gracefully swished her tail and proudly raised her head.

But after waiting for a while, nothing happened.

Lucia angrily took another half step forward.

It's 2.5 steps now!

Please persuade me to stay! Otherwise, I'm really leaving.

But nothing happened.

It seemed like Silan had forgotten about her.

He must not have seen it. Let's wait a little longer. Lucia gritted her teeth and shuffled forward again.

That's 2.75 steps already, surely they should be able to persuade you to stay now?

But still nothing.

Lucia turned angrily to look at Silan, only to find him watching her leisurely, pulling out a handful of jerky. She shook her head and sighed, "Looks like all that jerky is going to go to waste..."

Lucia's eyes were instantly drawn to the jerky, and her pupils widened.

When it came to its senses, it found itself somehow walking back to Silan.

"Oh dear, what's wrong? Weren't you leaving?" Silan asked deliberately.

"You! Humph!" Lucia huffed angrily, gritting her teeth, "My legs are on my body, I can go wherever I want!"

"Besides, if I just leave whenever you tell me to, wouldn't I lose face?"

"I'm not leaving today!"

As she spoke, Lucia stared intently at the jerky in Silan's hand, her eyes practically becoming sticky with desire.
