"What's the most dangerous thing in the mountains isn't a fire dragon?"

"It's a mountain!"

Ron's question was blocked by Charlie with a subtle answer.

"Don't think I'm joking with you," Charlie said seriously, putting away the smile on his face, "Fire dragons have a natural sense of perception, even if they are sleeping, they can detect the reaction of magic spells. ”

Maca, who was following beside her, immediately bowed her head and said:

"Remember our Hogwarts motto? The so-called 'Do Not Disturb the Sleeping Dragon (1)' is the ...... that it says"

Of course, the "dragon" in that motto did not refer to today's fire dragons, but to the huge and powerful dragons of the ancient wizarding world.

But in terms of reasoning, it's actually the same, so Maca said it casually.

However, Ron's eyes widened immediately when he heard this.

"School motto?" He was stunned and said, "Why haven't I seen it?" ”

When he finished speaking, Harry, who was walking not far away, also nodded.

"It's written on the ribbon under the school emblem!"

Seeing this, Hermione couldn't help but cover her forehead helplessly - they were both in the sixth year at Hogwarts, and they didn't even know the existence of the school motto until now, and these two goods were completely hopeless.

"Haha," Charlie laughed and patted his brother on the shoulder, "So, unless the dragon has spotted us, we'd better go on foot - don't blame me for not reminding you, climbing the mountain is quite tiring!" ”

The group chatted as they walked along the road, and soon followed Charlie and Natalia into the woods.

This is a very ordinary mountain forest, and the trees are not thick or very tall. However, due to the recent snowfall, the slopes are covered with soft snow, and the climb has become more strenuous.

"Our dragon farm is basically free-range, which makes it difficult to manage, but it allows the dragons to maintain their nature. The Egyptians, for example, prefer to restrict the dragons' movements with enchanted chains......"

When climbing the mountain, Charlie did not forget to popularize some knowledge about domesticating fire dragons. Just look at the way he talks about it, and you can see how deep his feelings are for this job.

"But the Egyptian dragon farms are more commercial, and they provide some material to the market as a supplier – my mother originally wanted me to go there because the wages were significantly higher, but I didn't really like them."

Natalia sometimes complements Charlie's narrative in this way, except that what she says is more subjective and emotional than the latter, which Hermione and Ginny approve of.

As for Luna, she was almost all the way around, touching the trunks of the trees and touching the blades of grass, so that Maca had to call her every now and then, lest everyone walk and walk without one person.

But it didn't take long for everyone to understand why Charlie would say, "The most dangerous thing in the mountains is not the dragon, but the mountains."

Trying to make it through this increasingly steep mountain range is indeed quite a test for wizards who are mostly inactive.

Even Maca felt her legs start to swell a little.

"I've been doing research lately, and I've been doing a little less physical exercise......

That being said, compared to other people who have beads of sweat on their foreheads this winter, what is his little muscle soreness?

McKellen ...... You're pretty solid, huh? Charlie couldn't help but say with a look of surprise.

When Maca heard this, he just opened his mouth to say a few words of modesty as usual, but in the next second, he quickly tilted his ear.

"Be careful, there's movement—"

Before they could finish speaking, a roar rang out from the forest to their left. The roar was muffled, as if something was roaring at a pipe, with a "buzzing" echo.

"Is there a dragon's lair in that direction?" He then asked.

"Oh yes!" Cha thought for a moment, frowned, and said, "There's a long-horned dragon living there, but ...... During this time, it should be as sleepy as other fire dragons, right? How could it be ......"

Before he could finish speaking, another roar came again, but it was very different from the first one just now.

"Can't let it scream like that anymore, it'll wake up the other dragons around." Natalia immediately said, "The fire dragon whose sleep has been interrupted will be even more irritable than usual!" ”

With that, she bowed her head slightly towards Charlie, and then ran in the direction from which the voice came.

"Well, stay here for now—it's best to hide under the trees, in case the dragon flies, it will make it even more difficult for you to be spotted."

"I'll go with you! With Hagrid here, it'll be fine—"

Seeing Maca say this, Charlie, who just wanted to leave, nodded without much thought - he is also a member of the Order of the Phoenix, although he has always been in Romania, but he still has more information than ordinary wizards like Natalia.

What's more, those two roars sounded like the fire dragon was angry. If you face an angry fire dragon, two people are not enough.

"Oh, actually, I want to go too!" Hagrid muttered quietly.

But within a few minutes of both Maca and Charlie submerging into the forest, those of them who remained in place were surprised to find that there was still one person missing from the team that was climbing the mountain to find the dragon.

"Where's Luna?" Hermione suddenly whispered.

……

"Boom!"

The cave wasn't far away, but as Maca and Charlie caught up with Natalia at the mouth of the cave, a heavy thud came out of the cave with a jolt of underfoot.

"Roar—"

Another dragon roar choked Charlie and Natalia's footsteps, causing them to slow down one after the other.

"Mr. McLean? How can you-"

"It's okay, trust me, it's better to have him!"

Regarding Natalia's question, Charlie gave an answer that was not an answer, but fortunately, Natalia seemed to trust Charlie quite a lot.

And between these two sentences, they used very soft voices, as if they were afraid that they would accidentally arouse the alarm of the cave owner.

And at the next moment when they changed from running to walking, Maca, who was originally following behind, surpassed the two in one fell swoop, and suddenly became the leader.

"There's two dragons fighting in there," he replied, "don't worry! In this case, as long as we don't use spells, they won't pay attention to us even if we throw stones at them. ”

"He seems to have a point?" Charlie pondered, saying to Natalia.

In general, the fact that some dragons are brutal does not mean that they are constantly angry.

Growls like this, which are clearly angry, are rarely heard by Charlie. And even if they have experienced it occasionally, the dragon training farm usually only gathers a dozen of its wizards to subdue the angry dragon with spells.

Of course, even Charlie was only skeptical of Maca's words at this time.

"Wait," he shouted, seeing that Maca was going to continue running, and had to put aside the idea of not being able to speak loudly for a moment, "we're just here to observe!" Soon I'll go back and call my colleagues along, you don't have to go in! ”

"Huh?"

When Maca heard this, he paused, but by this time he was already standing at the entrance of the cave.

"Not going in?"

His original plan for today was to pick dragons, and taking Luna and the others to visit was just by the way. Seeing the scene of the fire dragon battle, he naturally wanted to take a good look.

This idea is actually similar to Hagrid's, even Harry and Ron mostly think so.

In this world where reality and magic meet, isn't the fire dragon a man's romance? Though...... Compared to the ancient dragons, these "little lizards" are still a little bit worse.

However, the next moment he stopped and turned back, a thud came from the cavern again, and his movements suddenly became extremely fast.

In the field of vision of the two people behind, Maca's figure only flashed, and then appeared on the other side of the clearing in front of the cave.

And at about the same time, Charlie and Natalia also felt that they were pulled by a force, and they both fell to the side.

"Boom—"

A Romanian long-horned dragon burst out of the cavern at high speed, and as soon as it left the cave entrance, it suddenly spread its wings and flew almost close to the ground.

Charlie and Natalia, who fell to the ground, were so pressed by a strong gust of wind that they even stopped breathing for a few seconds, but they were still not as terrible as the huge body of the fire dragon completely obscured their vision.

At that moment, Natalia could even make out a few bloody scars on the dragon's belly.

When the fire dragon flew quickly to the other side of the mountain, they slowly sat up on the ground, and when they subconsciously looked at each other, they saw a shocked expression on each other's faces at the same time.

"Looks like it's supposed to be fine?"

Maca walked from not far away, looked the two of them left and right, and nodded to herself after making sure that their clothes were just stained with some dirt.

"Oh...... Thanks, McLean. "Thank you."

For Charlie and Natalia's thanks, Maca just waved her hand.

"Stand up first, it's not time to let your guard down yet - there's still one in the dragon's den!"

"Roar—"

Another roar rumbled, providing very straightforward evidence for Maca's words.

In fact, there is no need for Maca to remind them, no matter what Charlie says, they are both wizards who specialize in dealing with fire dragons. After a little relief, they quickly stood up and looked into the cavern with serious faces.

"Natalia, you immediately go back to the office to gather people, and McLean and I will continue to keep an eye on it here!"

When it comes to enchantments, Charlie is much better than Natalia. The latter did not refuse, but immediately phantom and left.

But a few seconds had passed before Natalia had left, and a heavy footstep shattered Charlie's plan to wait for help.

"It's coming." ()
