Chapter 527: A buried Temple?

The three of them must have said that just because they didn’t want Hagrid to be sad.

“How did you get these Blast-Ended Skrewts?” Evan leaned over and looked at the group inside the crate. The tail of a skrewt suddenly exploded, and sparks flew everywhere. He hurried back, frowning and said, “This should be a new kind of magical animal. I’ve never seen it in any book.”

“Yes, it’s a new breed, a hybrid of the Manticore and the Fire Crab. I named them the Blast-Ended Skrewts. These little guys are very cute, aren’t they?!” Hagrid waved his hand and seemed very happy that Evan asked, “You know, it’s not easy. The Manticore hardly lets any creatures come near. It’s even harder to get them to ‘work together’ to produce offspring. It took me about 60 Fire Crabs this summer to succeed.”

It was hard to imagine how Hagrid did it.

While all the wizards went to the Quidditch World Cup, the man was guarding a Manticore and a group of Fire Crabs. He did everything possible to get them to mate and give birth to their offspring…

Those Blast-Ended Skrewts were not cute, but terrible, absolutely horrible!

Ban on Experimental Breeding was enacted, breeding new types of magical creatures had been forbidden.

The ban was closely enforced by the Ministry of Magic’s Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures. It was illegal for Hagrid to do so.

But looking at the happy look on his face, even if Evan told him this, he would not care.

Hagrid was now completely immersed in the joy of getting the skrewts, just thinking about how to raise them.

If Hagrid found them the right food to eat, these dangerous skrewts could grow up rapidly and cause harm to all living things around them.

They completely inherited some of the characteristics of the Manticore and the Fire Crab, and they should even be more dangerous.

Of course, this was not a problem at all for Hagrid.

Thinking about his past experiences, whether it was the dragon, Cerberus or the Acromantula, they were not much safer than the Blast-Ended Skrewt.

They were all cute little babies in Hagrid’s eyes.

Last Term, Evan had almost exterminated all the Acromantulas in the entirety of the Forbidden Forest.

Affected by eyeball monster, they had become more evil, and their bodies had begun to grow abnormally, becoming pure Dark creatures.

However, Evan spared Aragog and handed it over to Hagrid. Without the supply of the evil god, the old spider couldn’t live long.

During this time, Hagrid had been busy taking care of the weakened Aragog, and had no energy to think about anything else.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Aragog’s health improved, he produced a lot of potentially more dangerous Blast-Ended Skrewts!Evan sighed, gave up on trying to persuade Hagrid, and turned his attention to what he had just 

said about the Manticore.

“Where did you find the Manticore?” asked Evan. “This magical animal is very rare.”

The Manticore is a highly dangerous beast with the head of a man, the body of a lion and the tail of a scorpion. More accurately, it is a monster with a red lion body, human face, human ears and blue eyes. Its upper and lower jaws each have three rows of sharp teeth and the tail end is that of a scorpion with a deadly sting that can be fired in any direction.

This magical animal is native to Greece and is very rare and extremely dangerous. It is one of the most dangerous magical beasts known to date.

A Manticore’s skin repels all known charms, so it is extremely difficult to subdue a Manticore with magic. It is known to be capable of human speech, and is considered a sentient beast.

But because of its violent nature, it was not offered the status given to Goblins and other similar beings. It is recorded in the history of magic that a Manticore once killed 30,000 Muggles as food.

In ancient Persia, it was therefore called “Manticore”, that is, “man-eater”!

This terrible evil monster is also regarded by Muggles as a mythical symbol of tyranny, contempt and jealousy.

In the wizarding world, they are magical animals created by ancient wizards to guard treasures.

As the remains left by ancient wizards were gradually explored and excavated, the Manticore became more and more rare.

According to reliable records, its last appearance was in 1296.

A Manticore savaged a person, and they let it off because everyone was too scared to go near it.

Since then, the wizarding world had never seen a Manticore.

Therefore, Evan was surprised when Hagrid said that these Blast-Ended Skrewts were a breed of the Manticore and the Fire Crab. He didn’t know where Hagrid found a Manticore!

“In the swamp deep in the Forbidden Forest, there is one!” Hagrid said, standing up, “It’s its territory, no other creatures dare to approach. Except for hunting, he never leaves too far, as if he were guarding something.”

Is the swamp deep in the Forbidden Forest?

Evan still remembered the swamp. Eight hundred years ago, Okegiga, the greatest warrior in the history of the Centaurs, once found a huge relic buried in mud. It was an ancient and mysterious temple.

The top was covered with thick marshes, and the interior was a wide and quiet rotunda. It was quietly covered with many magical plants, and the marble walls were engraved with complex magic symbols and ancient magic inscriptions.

The floor was covered with various patterns and magic lines, just like the top of the Temple of the Moon. =

At the speed of Okegiga, the Centaur, he had to gallop for over 20 minutes in this empty hall to reach the center!

There, there was the terrible statue that could conjure the evil god of terror to the real world.

Hagrid said that the Manticore might have been used to guard something. It could be that sunken temple. When he thought of it, Evan decided to go there and have a look. There might be something left in the place related to the evil god. 

With the statue of the evil god in Voldemort’s hands, this kind of exploration was even more necessary.

The Temple was buried under the marsh mud and had not been discovered by the wizards and the Ministry of Magic. Only Okegiga had been there 800 years ago, and the place might not have been destroyed, which was of great exploration value.

Besides the evil god, ancient warlocks might have left other treasures.

Even if there was nothing, just because the temple was a relic left by ancient warlocks, it was worth Evan’s visit.
