Chapter 1 The Key

In fact, the key to Hagrid's quest to capture the Diricawl wasn't the bird itself, but first finding a tree they liked and driving away the menacing Bowtruckles. Most of the trees in the Forbidden Forest were withered and dead, and only the Bowtruckles could give the trees some vitality. Therefore, the Diricawls would definitely prefer to stay on trees where Bowtruckles lingered. So, once you found the tree, you wouldn't have to worry about not catching a bird.

Fang Senyan returned with this bag of birds, and Hagrid naturally praised him a lot, because the task required capturing one, but Fang Senyan managed to get a whole nest, so the perception increased from 2,761,000 to 4,761,000, which was quite normal. It was only noon at this time, and Fang Senyan originally wanted to strike while the iron was hot and take on a few more tasks, but at this time, a magic bell rang in Hagrid's little hut to notify him that guests were visiting, so Fang Senyan naturally had to get up and leave, returning to the camp.

Lunch was delivered by several house-elves from Hogwarts. However, it was impossible to expect to enjoy the students' generous meal treatment. It was nothing more than hamburgers and sandwiches. Probably because Fang Senyan had previously fought with the Banks Gang and had also demonstrated his strength, the Symbiosis Society members were also more friendly to him. Taking advantage of the meal, Fang Senyan asked a member of the Symbiosis Society where he could find pill bugs. The person shook his head and said he didn't know. At this moment, a voice suddenly came from beside him:

"Did you encounter a Bowtruckle?"

Fang Senyan turned his head and saw Darth standing not far away with his coat draped over his shoulders, still with an indescribable coolness. His right hand was dragging a huge bag, with dark blood dripping from the outside, and there were clear scars on his left hand. Fang Senyan and he were both neutral at this time, and he nodded and said:

"Yes. Oh, Hagrid seems to have given you a very bloody job."

Darth said indifferently:

"Take the train to the mountains a hundred kilometers away to collect the internal organs of three brown bears."

Fang Senyan shrugged:

"Oh! That's a dangerous and disgusting task. By the way, I encountered a Bowtruckle, do you have any good suggestions?"

Darth was still cold, and said bluntly:

"For questions related to Bowtruckles, it's 100 Universal Points. For 500 Universal Points, I can tell you all the information related to it - of course, provided I know it. This transaction can be notarized through the Nightmare Mark."

Fang Senyan smiled. Darth's second option seemed to be a trap, because the premise of the transaction was based on the premise that "Darth must know a lot of information about Bowtruckles," otherwise, the retail option of spending 100 Universal Points was obviously more cost-effective. However, Fang Senyan thought about it and still chose to pay 500 Universal Points—the previous Hagrid's task had accumulated nearly 600 Universal Points as a reward, which was enough for this transaction—Darth also complied with the transaction rules and told him everything he knew.

It turned out that the "pill bugs" that Bowtruckles liked were actually a typo. Hagrid was a half-giant, and he grew up among giants as a child. Therefore, the "pill bugs" he wrote in the information he gave to Fang Senyan were actually a slang term among giants. The real corresponding creature was a kind of aquatic beetle. These beetles liked to be active in the underwater silt, so Fang Senyan, who was always looking for them under rocks and in grass, of course couldn't find them.

Secondly, Fang Senyan also obtained a very important piece of information: the detailed information of the milestone "Enthusiast" related to Bowtruckles. After obtaining this milestone, he would automatically obtain the title "Almighty", which was a rare title with very good attributes: wearer's all attributes +3!

Of course, high value means high risk. To complete the milestone "Enthusiast", you must complete the ultimate tasks given by the four shops: Eeylops Owl Emporium, Gringotts Manager, Quality Quidditch Supplies (the shop that sells Nimbus 2000), and Borgin and Burkes.

The first three shops are located in Diagon Alley, the magic market in London, while the last shop is located in Knockturn Alley, which is a gathering place for black magic and dark wizards.

It is important to note that there are the words "ultimate" before the tasks to be completed to achieve this milestone, which means that you must first complete the entrustment of the bosses of these four shops step by step, and only after completely gaining their trust can you be eligible for the ultimate task. And the owner of Borgin and Burkes doesn't have to be so troublesome, but the task he gives is a chain task, and its tediousness is even worse.

Finally, there is good news. After completing the "Compassionate Person" milestone, you will get a title: Bowtruckle's Feedback (Speed). Where there are trees within 30 meters nearby, your health recovery speed in combat status increases by an additional 25 points per minute. And there is a modifier (Speed) after this title, which means that it has the ability to equip quickly, that is to say, even in combat, this title can be replaced at any time. If Fang Senyan is fighting a war of attrition with the enemy, and there happen to be trees nearby, then changing to this title means that the battle will last for four minutes longer, and Fang Senyan can get an additional 100 points of life recovery, the meaning of which is self-evident.

However, after completing the "Compassionate Person" milestone, you can no longer complete the "Cruel Person" milestone, you can only choose one of the two. After completing the Cruel Person milestone, there is no title, but you will get an extra benefit of +2 merit points.

So in the afternoon, Fang Senyan went to Hagrid several times but couldn't find him. He went directly to find a small stream to catch beetles, and then carried a large bag of beetles to the edge of the Forbidden Forest to find Bowtruckles and then please them. At this time, Fang Senyan began to rejoice that he had not considered completing the "Cruel Person" milestone, not because the Bowtruckles' attack power was too strong, but because they were too difficult to find.

These small creatures usually only show up when humans are very close to the tree, and at other times they quietly lie on the tree without moving at all. Fang Senyan couldn't possibly touch every tree around the Forbidden Forest. The only good thing is that the trees parasitized by Bowtruckles grow more lushly, which at least reduces most of Fang Senyan's workload.

When night fell, Fang Senyan didn't dare to risk staying near the Forbidden Forest any longer. Any of the dangerous creatures inside were beyond his current ability to match. A whole afternoon of hard work only found twenty-three Bowtruckles. And when he arrived at the camp, he found that the members of the Symbiosis Society were silently sitting around the campfire, and the atmosphere was a bit dead. And even Darth, who had always seemed aloof and indifferent, was also present.

"Sailor." Crowbar, the leader of the Symbiosis Society here, first stood up and said heavily to Fang Senyan: "There is a very unfortunate news - a very unfortunate news for you, me, and even all of us."

Fang Senyan was indeed shocked for a moment at this moment, but he quickly calmed down and tentatively said:

"What is the Banks Gang up to?"

"Yes." Crowbar said in a low voice: "Hagrid, this big guy, will not appear in front of us for at least forty-eight hours. If there are no accidents, the next time he appears in front of us to issue tasks will be on the morning of the last day of the five-day period, which means that even the person with the best results among us will have to increase Hagrid's perception of us by more than 500 points on the last day! This is almost an impossible task."

"Why?" It was Darth who asked, showing some disbelief. "Hagrid is derelict in his duty by doing this! Isn't he afraid of being punished by Hogwarts?"

Crowbar sneered:

"Everyone has weaknesses, and Hagrid is no exception. This big fool loves to raise all kinds of dangerous and rare creatures! In the original plot, he accidentally leaked the secret of the three-headed dog because of a dragon egg, and his behavior almost directly led to the theft of the Philosopher's Stone. The Banks Gang also took advantage of this weakness!"

"Someone in the Banks Gang has also entered this world many times, and his identity is still a mystery, but the only thing that can be confirmed is that he has gained the trust of a high-level plot character, so he also has a lot of say. This time when he entered, Banks spent a lot of money to bring in a Zerg cub from the Starship Troopers world. This thing is bound to be a new species for this world."

"When the Banks Gang used this Zerg cub to trade with Hagrid, they not only obtained generous rewards, but also injected this cub in advance with a large dose of anesthetic that could last for 50 hours. For Hagrid, who is obsessed with breeding, he will definitely frantically put down the unimportant work at hand to take care of that ferocious cub carefully - just like you gentlemen seeing a busty woman when you are sexually aroused - as for the dereliction of duty, ladies and gentlemen, Hogwarts is currently in charge of Dumbledore, he firmly believes that Hagrid is a person who can entrust his life to. Under such a background, there is no doubt that even if there is a problem, Hagrid, this big fool, will at most be reprimanded a few times, but we have to face the terrible fate of being eliminated before the good show even begins! Without our support, the boss will inevitably be in an isolated and helpless situation, and our previous big plan will inevitably be suspended!"
