Chapter 343: Chapter 341: You’ve Arrived at Just the Right Ti
Before coming to the Fire Dragon Reserve, Kael thought the atmosphere here would be very tense.
But upon arrival, he realized that it’s actually quite peaceful here... no burning Dragon Fla, no roaring dragon screams. Although there were Fire Dragons flying in the sky, there were only one or two.
Everyone around was gathered in small groups, chatting away, as if they were at a gathering of old friends.
Charlie didn’t explain much; he just patted Kael on the shoulder and said aningfully:
"If you had co a day earlier, you wouldn’t think this way. You just happened to co at the right ti."
Charlie then took Kael around the area for a bit more. When he thought it was about ti, they returned to the previous location.
There were noticeably more people than before. So of them looked similar to Charlie—dark-skinned, in their thirties, wearing coarse clothing and heavy boots—you could tell they were Dragon Tars.
Others were different, wearing all sorts of outfits and appeared to be older.
"They are Fantastic Beasts experts from different places."
Charlie whispered the introductions: "That person next to the Dragon Saliva Tree with the House-elves is Madam Rosino from North Arica, the only person in North Arica allowed to privately ta Fire Dragons."
"The one opposite her, with the big beard, is Mr. Kete. Three of the dragons we have here were sent by him..."
"The one speaking with Mr. Scamander is Professor Rockneil of Beauxbatons. The Abraxans he bred are quite famous in the Magic Realm..."
Charlie gave a detailed introduction of each person, while Kael listened attentively, noting their nas one by one.
The number of attendees was not large; including Newt, there were only twelve in total.
As for their assistants, Charlie didn’t ntion, probably thinking it was unnecessary.
Simply put, the assistants don’t deserve to have nas, just get to know their faces.
"I always thought you only had muscles in your brain," Kael comnted, "I didn’t expect you to know so many people, even those as far away as North Arica... Dragon Tars also need cultural knowledge."
"Watch your mouth! Who says I only have muscles in my brain!" Charlie retorted indignantly, "I have six N.E.W.T certificates, I could even be an Auror if I wanted."
"Alright, my bad," Kael shrugged nonchalantly, "Let
rephrase that, do you need to take ti to learn about those Fantastic Beasts experts when raising Fire Dragons?"
"Of course not," Charlie replied, "Just taking care of dozens of Fire Dragons every day is exhausting enough, and then dealing with those crafty poachers—if I have extra ti, I’d rather sleep for an hour.
In fact, we had finalized the list of invitees a month ago; we just need to familiarize ourselves with their photographs before they arrive."
That makes sense.
Kael recalled Charlie’s weakest subject was Magic History, which required rote morization; normally, he wouldn’t spend ti rembering so many nas.
By noon, the Fire Dragon Reserve had also prepared a lunch for everyone.
Here, forget about delicacy; primitiveness and ruggedness are the eternal thes.
Freshly stewed, bone-in at, each piece larger than a fist, with no extra seasoning, preserving the primitive flavor of Tebo, though most people might find the taste hard to accept.
Unlimited supply of grilled, hard flatbread; it offers substantial fullness, one piece can last you a whole day.
Kael felt a bit stuffed after eating just half.
Honestly, if this thing were any harder, it’d surely be Rock Skin Cake 2.0, Hagrid would probably love it.
While eating, Kael also spotted Chris but didn’t go over to greet him.
Because he was accompanied by several well-dressed Wizards, likely from the Romanian Ministry of Magic.
They were also enjoying the bone-in at and grilled flatbread, savoring it; one seemingly head-like person even went to request another serving after finishing his portion.
"Hey, Charlie!"
At this mont, a burly middle-aged Wizard ran over from afar, "Soone told
you brought a kid, is he your brother?
But he’s not a redhead... forget it, no matter who it is, it’s very dangerous here now, you’d better send him out quickly."
"Herman, you’ve got it wrong," Charlie explained, "He’s not my brother, he’s Mr. Scamander’s assistant."
"Assistant?!"
"Yes, I saw them co together with my own eyes," Charlie said, "And he’s already fourteen, just ets the minimum age requirent to enter the reserve."
"Oh..." Herman looked at Kael incredulously.
Despite finding it hard to believe, since Charlie said so, it shouldn’t be a problem.
He smacked his lips thoughtfully.
Other people’s assistants were either House-elves or thirty-sothing adult Wizards, while Mr. Scamander brought a fourteen-year-old child... really distinctive.
But then...
Herman looked at Kael in a bit of a daze, hesitating whether to assign soone to protect him.
But the issue is that they’re already short-handed, and if they lose another person, who knows what unexpected events might occur.
Yet, doing nothing isn’t an option.
Mr. Scamander has a characteristic; he gets overly focused when dealing with Fantastic Beasts.
If he accidentally loses sight of the kid...?
Perhaps, find an excuse to keep him at the outer edge?
"You don’t need to worry about him at all, Herman..."
It seed Charlie had guessed his thoughts, so he smiled and introduced so of Kael’s past adventures to his colleague.
Escaping from the clutches of the Dark Wizard Oren, even rescuing a classmate, defeating a Werewolf at St Mungo’s Hospital, and thereby earning a rlin Knight Order second-class dal...
These feats left Herman utterly perplexed.
Though he expected that whoever Mr. Scamander brought shouldn’t just be an ordinary troublemaking kid, he didn’t anticipate the person to be so extraordinary...
Herman furrowed his brow; he’s not as careless as Charlie.
Good heavens, a fourteen-year-old rlin Knight Order mber, there’s probably no second one like that in the entire Magic Realm.
Such a genius mustn’t get hurt, indeed, better find a reason to keep him at the outer edge...
But before Herman could say anything, an angry dragon roar suddenly reverberated around them.
People instinctively looked up.
A gigantic shadow rose from the distant valley, spewing out a blast of fla about forty feet long into the air.
It was like triggering a switch.
The next second, the roaring of Fire Dragons started echoing ceaselessly from all directions.
