The Mightiest Badger at Hogwarts

Chapter 183 Illegal breeding of magical animals

"Why are you here?"

Looking at the familiar old man in front of him, Link asked in surprise.

After hearing this, Kettleburn just threw the swallow-tailed dog in his hand to the side casually and said:

"I have retired, but I am also idle. Mr. Scamander happened to invite me, so I will go and see it together."

After saying that, Kettleburn leaned over and pulled the little boy up again, patted the fallen leaves and soil on his body and asked:

"Are you all right, kid."

"I, I'm fine."

The boy said timidly.

The boy has dark brown hair that is very similar to Mr. Newt, and a pair of blue eyes. These two, coupled with his aggrieved expression at the moment, completely resemble a weak young lady.

Emily was indifferent to this kind of beauty, but Link was slightly stunned.

Of course, he had nothing else on his mind.

But he suddenly discovered that this little boy seemed to be a new junior student he had just enrolled in last year.

"You, are you Senior Foley?"

The young lady looked at Link and Emily who were standing not far away and asked with some uncertainty.

After receiving a positive answer from Link, the little shot reached out and touched his face covered in dog saliva and his wrinkled clothes, and his mentality suddenly collapsed.

"Merlin! You saw everything just now! Ugh!" Shota burst into tears and ran away, shouting as he ran, "I hate magical animals! I also hate grandpa the most!"

Looking at Rolf's retreating figure, both Link and Emily felt a little embarrassed.

Newt on the side coughed and explained:

"That's my little grandson, Rolf Scamander. Well, he's talking angrily, you know? He actually likes magical beasts and me."

Hearing this, Link's expression was a little speechless.

He still knows a little about Luo Fu, a younger brother.

This is a very shy and honest child.

As the grandson of Newt Scamander, he was supposed to be the darling of the entire Hufflepuff House.

After all, his grandfather was the most legendary hero in Hufflepuff in recent hundreds of years.

However, he never mentioned his family to anyone.

This extreme low profile makes many people in Hufflepuff House, including Link, not even aware of his identity.

Like many other little badgers, he also admired Link, the senior who saved Hogwarts and also helped Hufflepuff House win the House Cup.

And now, thanks to his grandfather, he made a big fool of himself in front of his idol today.

If you think about it this way, it is very reasonable for Mr. Luofu to have such a reaction.

Sighing, Link frowned and said to Newt:

"Mr. Scamander, I think you'd better go find Rolf now. After all, he's emotionally unstable right now, and this place looks quite dangerous."

Hearing this, Newt finally reacted and hurriedly ran after Rolf's almost invisible back.

After Newt ran away, Professor Kettleburn came over and smiled:

"It's quite outrageous, isn't it? Who would have thought that such a guy had captured Grindelwald and was the greatest scholar of magical animals in this century?"

Link also nodded with emotion.

He had also watched a series of movies about Newt in his previous life. At that time, he discovered that Newt was really capable and kind-hearted, but he was a bit naive.

In the end, this guy was able to achieve such an achievement. Apart from the support given by Dumbledore, Link can only say that he is a fool with a lot of luck.

At the same time, unlike Link.

Emily's thoughts were not on Newt and Rolf at the moment.

She gently held Link's arm, looked at Professor Kettleburn expectantly and asked:

"Professor, do you know what we are going to do in Greenland this time?"

"What to do? It's just a mission of the Ministry of Magic." Professor Kettleburn said nonchalantly, "There seems to be a dark wizard on that barren island doing illegal research on the synthetic breeding of hybrid magical animals. We are in the past. A preliminary investigation was conducted.”

"Hybrid? Synthetic?"

Link and Emily both showed surprised expressions.

"Yes, it's what you think. This breeding method is to form a new magical animal by mixing various magical animals, ordinary animals, and even plants and inorganic substances through mixing, magic synthesis, etc." Kettlebo Professor En continued, "However, this breeding method is extremely cruel and against human ethics. Some crazy wizards will even experiment with Muggles as raw materials and create a large number of disgusting monsters. The most typical one is It belongs to the Siren. This ancient creature with the head of a human and the body of a bird has until now been considered to be the form of a wizard who mistakenly used human body transformation. But in fact, it is a synthetic mass-produced monster. .”

"Of course, there are basically very few wizards who dare to do this now. Because in 1965, the Ministry of Magic passed the "Prohibition of Animal Breeding Experiments" decree, thus completely banning this method of breeding magical animals. By the way, this decree It was Mr. Newt Scamander who started it!"

After saying this, Professor Kettleburn took out a metal flask and took a long sip.

Link and Emily fell into a petrified state.

The latter simply felt that those synthetic animals were disgusting, while Link was reminded of some bad memories by Professor Kettleburn's words.

At this moment, Link felt that his DNA was moving.

"No! No big brother!" (Note 1)

"Link! What's wrong with you?"

Looking at Link who suddenly shouted, Emily looked worried.

"I'm fine...I just feel a little nauseous."

"It is indeed disgusting to use Muggles for experiments." Professor Kettleburn put away the flask and said, "But as long as you can master it to a certain extent, this breeding technology is actually quite good."

"For example, through breeding, the feathers of ordinary birds can also have the characteristics of the feathers of the deaf bird. In this way, not only will the price of the feathers of the deaf bird be reduced, but the deaf bird itself will no longer be in danger of extinction."

"It is precisely in view of this and the gradual shortage of various natural materials in the magical world that the Ministry of Magic has been relatively ambiguous in the implementation of the "Prohibition of Animal Breeding Experiments" in recent years. Strictly speaking, as long as you don't go too far, the Ministry of Magic is I won’t care about you.”

"So, our trip to Greenland this time probably won't be too exciting. After all, there are still only a few people who dare to brave the world's disapproval these days."

Hearing this, Link also nodded.

His own views were similar to those of Professor Kettleburn.

As long as it does not violate human moral bottom line, such experiments actually do more good than harm.

In his previous life, didn't he also have hybrid rice and various types of edible animal meat that had been improved over a long period of time?

Even those cute pet cats and dogs, in the process of being domesticated by humans, have been changed in shape and size by humans using the same means to fit in with human aesthetics.

At this moment, Newt finally returned with Rolf.

But looking at Luo Fu's tearful eyes, it was obvious that he still hadn't gotten over the previous emotions.

Professor Kettleburn didn't care so much. He looked up at the magic clock hanging on the door frame, then picked up a slightly dry iron bucket from the side and said:

"Okay everyone! We're getting ready to go!"
