HP Parallel World
Chapter163 Summoning Crows
"You don't need to remind you about this kind of thing, I know it all!" The more she knew how good Vincent was, the angrier she became because he was Violet's friend. Claudia
In fact, there was no need for Edward to remind her of the obvious fact.
The current location where she and Edward are is not far from where Violet and the others are working with the Extraordinary Potion Federation. In fact, Claudia only needs to raise her head to see Violet.
Te and a few of her friends are busy.
According to the original plan, the soil-breaking spell was used to dig out the plants that needed to be dug out of the soil one by one. Vincent did not take over the work of dealing with these plants, but handed them over.
I gave it to Wei Ni who is very serious and meticulous in doing things.
It is necessary to wave a magic wand to clean up the large amount of soil on the plants that have just been dug out, and separate the parts they need from under the entire plant. While doing these things, Wei Ni also needs to
The separated and picked parts are roughly divided into several different baskets according to their grades.
After Vincent cleared a large amount of open space, he waved his magic wand and moved the plants that needed to be thinned from their original locations to these open spaces. After planting them, Violet needed to prepare the plants last night.
A good potion mixed with plain clean water is poured over the roots of these plants.
Riding a broomstick, hovering in mid-air to complete the pruning of these newly transplanted plants. Amir relied on his very flexible skills to be able to freely shuttle among so many plants.
There is absolutely no chance that you will bump into some branches or have your clothes and skin scratched just because you were not careful.
After completing the excavation work of the entire plant, he went back again to move and process the branches that Amir had knocked down. Vincent needed to pick and preserve the fallen leaves and flower buds to ensure that
The parts above that can be used will not be wasted and rot in the soil.
After being busy all morning, they submitted the materials they harvested to Yang Sen, and signed the form to record whether they had completed the work. Violet and the others only felt that time passed very quickly.
It was so fast, but in the blink of an eye it was past one in the afternoon.
Instead of returning to the tent for lunch at noon, she took the disappearing cabinet with her. After all four of them sat under the shade of the tree, Violet took out Hercules from the disappearing cabinet.
Ti prepared lunch for them.
Because she was on a tropical island, she wanted to eat something cold and sour to whet her appetite. Violet even got a glass of ice-cold papaya water from Hetty. She raised her hand and looked at her wrist.
Knowing that there was still more than half an hour before they started work in the afternoon, Violet couldn't waste her lunch break carelessly.
"What do you want to do?" Seeing Violet waving the wand in her hand to dehydrate and dry the branches that Amir had just knocked down from the crown of the tree, Vincent saw even more
Violet set fire to the gathered branches.
He couldn't figure out why she wanted to light a fire in the woods, so he was very curious. But just as Vincent asked, he saw Violet take out a medicine bottle from the beaded bag, and then took out a handful.
Tiny scissors.
Violet decisively cut off a small strand of hair from her hair that was tied into a ponytail, and then threw the small strand of hair into the bonfire that had been lit in front of her. In the next second, Violet directly took out the magic hair that she had taken out.
Medicinal powder was also sprinkled into the bonfire.
As a result, as the hair and medicinal powder were ignited, very light purple smoke rose up, and the bonfire emitted the smell of aromatic plants as it burned.
"Oh, I know what you are doing!" Among the four of them, the person whose knowledge reserve is second only to Violet quickly figured it out based on her series of operations.
What exactly did she want to do? Vincent was immediately urged by the other two companions: "What exactly does Violet want to do? Vincent, tell me!"
"She's calling the crow."
"Summoning crows? Why summon this thing?"
After arriving on the island, I have seen many magical creatures, and I feel that what I have seen in one day is even better than what the Care of Magical Creatures class at Hogwarts taught them in a year.
There are more, of course Amir and Winnie know very well that the Land of Dragons does have crows.
However, there are so many rare or beautiful birds on the island. Therefore, the two of them couldn't understand why Violet didn't summon other birds instead of summoning crows.
?
"According to the records in the book, the communication method of using owls to help wizards deliver messages actually became mainstream in the wizarding world after the Renaissance in the Muggle world. Before the Renaissance, most of the people in the Middle Ages
Part of the time, what wizards use to send messages to each other is not letters sent by owls, but in fact messages brought by their respective crows."
Because the diet range of birds like crows is so wide, and they can always find ways to survive whether in cities or villages, therefore, raising a bird that can be seen everywhere and is very easy to feed,
For the wizards at that time, it was a very good choice.
"In the Middle Ages, Muggles arrested wizards on a large scale, and once they caught these people, they would tie them to logs and burn them at the stake. So, although in fact, it would not really happen because of Muggles' methods.
Even if they were injured or killed, wizards would not be able to live peacefully in those days."
"In the process of running around, carrying parchment, quills and ink bottles with me was a bit cumbersome no matter what. Moreover, buying paper was also a big expense at the time, so compared to
When writing letters, wizards in the magical world are actually more accustomed to using oral messages directly."
"At that time, they not only raised crows, but also cats. With the help of these animals that were often mixed in Muggle society, wizards were able to convey their messages very effectively. And it was precisely because of that time.
The messages conveyed were oral messages, so in that era, conversation with crows and cats was a necessary survival skill."
In this day and age, talking to crows and cats that once served as messengers is no longer a skill that most wizards can master. Even in magic schools like Hogwarts, learning about crows
Courses on language with cats have long since ceased to exist.
"As far as I know, Beauxbatons School in France now offers elective courses that can learn the language of crows. However, just like Muggle Studies is not very popular in our school, crows
The language course is equally unpopular at Beauxbatons."
"So Violet, are you planning to learn the language of crows?" After listening to Vincent's words and combining it with Violet's actions at this moment, we can only come to this conclusion.
Mir was speechless for a moment: "Why aren't the ghost-like letters in ancient magic script and the complicated diagrams in arithmetic and divination that would make you scratch your scalp not enough for you? You still want to learn it now?
Aren’t you tired of speaking the language of crows?”
"Who made the talent ignited by the Fountain of Praris suitable for me to study? If I don't make good use of my advantages in written learning and fully master more skills, how can I be worthy of the drinking experience in the first place?
Those springs that go down!"
Since there are not a small number of people who keep cats, whether in the magical world or the Muggle world, Violet believes that if we can pick up this kind of cat that was still mainstream hundreds of years ago, it will be the same as crows.
And the way cats communicate with each other, then this is definitely a good thing with no harm to her.
"Actually, the reason why I came up with the idea of learning the language of crows and cats is entirely thanks to you two, Winnie and Vincent!"
In the last semester, she had fully experienced the power of Parseltongue. Violet knew very well that being able to obtain information from creatures that were not human was something that only had one pair of eyes and could not always be used.
How important it is to them who saw the scene of the key event.
"The castle is not suitable for snakes to live, and it is completely against the school's regulations to bring snakes to the castle. Therefore, the role that things like Parseltongue can play inside the castle is very limited. However,
Cats and crows are different. The former can move freely in the castle and the grounds outside the castle, and the latter, because of its ability to fly, can actually see many things that humans cannot see. You guys
Don’t you think that if I could master these two languages, it would be very easy for us to investigate something in the future?”
"..." According to what he knows, the Crow Language elective course offered by Beauxbatons not only has wizards as teachers, but also has living crows as teaching assistants. Vincent can fully imagine that this
When the school holds the final exam for this course, how does it test the learning level of the students?
It's very simple, just make a living crow stand on a perch in the classroom, and then let it replace the tape recorder that plays the English listening test questions, and directly speak out the listening test questions. That's it.
When I read the original novel in my previous life, I also read about a Ministry of Magic official who mastered more than 200 languages in the fourth part of the story. Violet will never forget that this official was killed by his own son.
You can communicate with creatures such as mermaids, turkeys, and trolls.
"Actually, it's quite normal to learn the language of crows and cats. Did you know that? When I was looking through extracurricular books, I also learned that the school in Durmstrang had fish and fish courses hundreds of years ago.
The class is a conversation-making course.”
"How can a fish speak when it doesn't even have vocal cords?!" After hearing what Violet said, he felt a question mark on his forehead. It can be said that Amir was completely at a loss. "Although animals like dolphins are also the same.
It does not have vocal cords, but is it comparable to ordinary fish? As a mammal, its body structure is much more complex than that of fish, and it is also smart enough to use ultrasonic waves for echolocation. But what about fish?
What’s the same thing?”
So far, I have never heard of any fish in the world that can communicate using language. Amir simply can't imagine how to teach students such a lesson.
"Who said that to learn the language of fish, you have to let the fish speak? Isn't it good for people to learn lip language?" He said that when he first read about this kind of course in a book, he also felt that it was like a monk who was two feet tall.
Without thinking, Violet just laughed. "According to the book, the wizard who learned the language of fish built a glass fish tank and kept the fish in it, and then interacted with the fish by observing lip language.
comminicate."
"Really, it's not that they are messing around. They look at each other's lips opening and closing. Wizards and fish really have a way to communicate in this way."
"I'll go." For a moment, I just felt that I was still too short-sighted, so I didn't know this or that. Amir hadn't had time to ask whether the students who took this course had been staring at him.
Looking at the mouth of the fish in the glass fish tank, suddenly a large number of crows flew towards the bonfire.
I personally learned how to make this kind of potion from a book, and this was the first time I used this method to summon crows. Violet knew very well that according to the description in the book, the ignited hair and the potion emitted.
The smell will attract crows that happen to be near the campfire.
The range of effectiveness of the lavender smoke rising from the bonfire is determined by the quality and quantity of the potion ignited by the wizard. As for the hair that is thrown into the bonfire, it is to let the summoned crows figure out what it is.
A means of identifying who is calling them.
They did not hit the campfire directly like moths flying toward the flame. Instead, after being attracted by the smell, they stopped on the branches near the campfire. There were dozens or even hundreds of crows attracted.
Because the surrounding trees didn't have enough branches to stop, they even fell to the ground. Some of these crows were bold. After flying over, they stood directly on Violet's shoulders and head.
"Hmm... It seems that the potion I made is really effective." When we were investigating the kidnapping case of Winnie, we had already lit a bonfire in the Forbidden Forest and used this method as well.
This method of burning a special potion attracted a large number of snakes. Violet was actually mentally prepared for the fact that she could summon so many crows in a short period of time.
Suddenly, she heard so many crows croaking in her ears. Violet still needs to learn more about crow language. In fact, she can only understand about 70% of it.
"Hasn't the magical world abandoned us crows a long time ago and turned in favor of owls? Why is it that now, someone is still using this traditional and ancient method to summon us?"
"To be honest, I have never seen a human being who can speak crow language since I was a child! I heard about the idea that wizards can communicate with crows from my mother! As for how she knew this
If this is the case, I can only hear it from my grandmother."
"Silver-haired and blue-eyed little girl, are you the one who summoned us? You are not very old at all. How well have you learned Crow Language? Can you really communicate with us?"
In my previous life, I heard from classmates who studied in Japan how smart birds like crows are. They can even take advantage of the time difference between traffic lights to place hard dried fruits on the ground and let passing cars crush them.
Broken, although Violet has not seen with her own eyes how these crows who have waited at the red light again enjoy the dried fruits that have been crushed by vehicles, but she also knows very well that this kind of bird is notoriously smelly.
Rogues are actually not easy to deal with.
At this moment, being stood on the head of the other party, and also being questioned by the other party whether she could speak crow language well, Violet couldn't understand why crows are such a bird with a bad reputation, and people from many countries
It doesn’t matter if you don’t like them all!
"Can you please speak nicely? Why do you carry a gun and a stick as soon as you open your mouth? Also, get off my head, I don't like to have my head stepped on by any creature."
In her previous life, she had had the experience of feeding red-billed gulls in winter, only to have the red-billed gulls drop a piece of bird droppings on her shoulders in return. Violet did not want to experience any bird droppings falling on her in this life.
An embarrassing tragedy in the head.
Then, she decisively stood up from under the shade of the tree, shook her head and shoulders vigorously, and Violet made the three crows leave her body, and all of them flew to the ground with a huff.
"You girl, I have to ask you, what is your attitude? You obviously took the initiative to find us, but now you treat us with this attitude. Do you believe that I just slapped my butt and flew away!"
"Even if he is forced to fall to the ground, he still cannot choose to lower his head. The crow originally standing on Violet's head is obviously not a good-tempered guy.
