Hogwarts and the Atypical Wizard

This was Sainz's first time setting foot in the forbidden forest, and not only Fangya, but his spirit was somewhat tense.

The wand in his hand had long been replaced with one that was more suitable for combat, the one made of hornbeam wood.

This wand has a dragon's heartstring nerve as its core. It is extremely tough and strong, yet flexible and sensitive. It can cooperate with him to cast any magic, including certain Azkaban-limited spells that are not allowed by the Ministry of Magic.

Just kidding! Of course I'm kidding!

How could he bear to use his own wand to cast the Azkaban-only spell? Of course he had to use the other three old wands.

After calming Yaya down, Sainz swept the light back and forth over the trees. He had kept his extrasensory perception spell on, and he clearly didn't notice any danger just now.

However, some of the senses of animals are more acute than those of humans, so we still have to trust Yaya's judgment.

He waved his hand and conjured up a telescope for himself, looking in the direction of Yaya's barking. With the help of the magnifying effect of the mirror, he finally saw several branch-like figures deep in the tree canopy thirty meters high, about six or seven inches high.

They all remained motionless under the light, pretending that they were really a branch.

Bowtruckle!

"Haha! Yaya! You've done a great job!"

Sainz squatted down happily, patted her neck, and took out the snacks prepared for Speed ​​as a reward.

Yaya swallowed the special pet jerky he handed over in one gulp, jumping up and down in excitement...

"Okay, okay, they're not dangerous, keep going."

The Forbidden Forest was indeed a treasure trove. Not long after he entered, he was given a surprise.

The Bowtruckle will not live in the Demon-free Tree.

These little things can't be protected by all trees.

They only live on trees that contain powerful magical powers. This is their racial talent.

These trees would make excellent materials for making wands.

They certainly won't let anyone cut them down easily, and when someone threatens their habitat, they will jump down from the tree and attack the other person's eyes.

If a wizard can provide them with some woodlice or fairy eggs, they can be pacified and a piece of magical wood can be removed.

Sainz noticed that the big tree was actually an acacia tree.

Acacia trees are usually not particularly tall, but one as majestic as this one must be over a century old, possibly even two centuries or more.

Acacia wood can produce a tree suitable for making wands, which is very rare.

As Ollivander said, not every tree is suitable for making wands!

It is even rarer among acacia trees!

Wands made from this wood will be very stubborn and refuse to serve anyone other than their owner.

It only shows its full performance to wizards with outstanding talents, and it requires the owner to be meticulous and sensitive enough.

Therefore, it is difficult for an acacia wand to find a master for itself!

Sainz has read a lot of books on this subject in the library this year, otherwise he would not have been able to recognize the big tree at a glance.

A greedy person like him will definitely study the wand-making technology in the future, just like some gun enthusiasts will definitely try to design guns themselves.

It seems that this is how the famous AK series came about...

There may be many wizards who would tirelessly pursue wandless spellcasting, but not Sainz.

No, that's not accurate either!

Of course, he would also pursue complete mastery of wandless casting, and it would be best if all magic could be cast without a wand!

Although he would definitely practice wandless spellcasting diligently, and he could even cast some "simple spells to fool Muggles" without a wand now, he would never give up using a wand.

To give an analogy, perhaps someone has already trained himself to be as strong as a bronze head and iron brain and as indestructible as a diamond, but this still does not prevent him from holding a Gatling gun in his hand.

Maybe sometimes riding a boat is not as fast as someone's swimming speed, but this still does not prevent him from riding the boat.

After leaving this special big tree, Yaya lowered his head and sniffed here and there, leading Sainz to continue moving deeper into the forbidden forest.

He discovered a lot of useful materials along the way.

Sneezeweed can be used to craft a demulcent.

The jumping toadstools in the drugstore in Diagon Alley are priced at three Galleons eleven each. This kind of fungus, if you find one, there will definitely be a bunch of others behind it.

A jumping toadstool jumped into Sainz's light without knowing the danger. Yaya pounced on it and was about to bite it, but he managed to stop him.

"Forget it, let it go and let it go."

This might be a lone jumping toadstool, unaware that it has been through the gates of hell, and yet it jumps to the other side of the woods without any sense or rhythm.

Somehow, it's also a little cute!

"Huh? Liquid grass?"

I'll have to write this down, maybe I'll need it later.

Fluid grass is one of the ingredients for making polyjuice potion, but it must be picked during the full moon.

Sainz was just being serious. He just wanted to see what would happen if the fruit was not picked during a full moon.

Continuing walking, he found a large field of mallow.

I quickly stopped Yaya from running around and looked around, but there were no special traces.

"Fortunately, it looks like it wasn't planted by the centaurs!"

He felt that he was a little neurotic. Although centaurs often used mallow, it did not mean that every piece of mallow was necessarily related to centaurs.

We are not too far from the forbidden forest here, and should not be in the area where the centaurs are active.

Most centaurs were not particularly friendly to wizards, and he did not want to encounter them.

Of course, he was not afraid or anything, but there was no need to get into insignificant conflicts with insignificant people, which would hinder his own upgrade plans.

"Huh? This is two-ear grass?!" It is another material for making compound potion.

"Could it be that this is the Great Will reminding Sai that his progress in potion learning is a bit slow?"

I marked it on my hand-drawn map and continued on my way.

Deeper in the ground he saw another Arioth!

This time he didn't hesitate and waved his wand to pick some mature old leaves, which were the raw materials for making the laughter potion.

In fact, no other ingredients are needed. The leaves of the Ariophyllum alone can cause people to laugh uncontrollably or even to go into hysterics.

Sainz searched carefully in the hidden place of the tree canopy again, and indeed he found the antidote!

Sad bug!

A gregarious, grey, furry flying insect. It is rated three crosses on the Ministry of Magic's danger rating.

People often have a misunderstanding that "honey" can only be made by bees like honey bees, but little do people know that heartworms can also produce honey in their nests.

This honey is the antidote for the leaves of the Ariote tree!

Of course, generally speaking, most of the heartworms' nests are stolen from bees.

Sainz currently does not know whether the honey of the heartworm is spit out by the heartworm or brewed by other means.

He plans to breed a nest for special observation when he conducts research on magical creatures in the Room of Requirement in the future.

Now, give some honey to Sai.

He conjured up a net to block the hole in the tree trunk, then conjured up a syringe, inserted a long thin tube into it, and sucked out 50 milliliters.

He took out the large medicine bottle he carried with him from the traceless stretch bag, quickly transferred it in, and sealed it.

The bugs in the tree hole must be going crazy. We can’t let them find out!

Ha! Who said knowledge is useless? Look, I accidentally made a fortune again!

Sainz was busy here, and Yaya ran out of the light crying.

A dim lantern was floating in the air in the direction she ran.

The next moment, a rough and loud voice came from there, "Who's there!"

"Hey! Hagrid, you're so hard to find!"
