Hogwarts: I Really Don't Want to Be a Wizard - Chapter 140

c139 The little mute is a unicorn?

The speed of recovery was much slower than Gret expected.

But compared with more than a month ago, it was certainly a world of difference.

Although he still had no strength and his limbs were basically constantly moving, he finally recovered.

Apart from anything else, just saying that he didn’t have to lie there like a puddle of mud all the time was enough to comfort Gret.

The little mute went out early and came back late every day to work on the rations for the two of them. When he came back, he would always give Gret the tastier or oilier parts.

Gret was very grateful for this.

But strangely, Gret found that as his health gradually improved, the little mute seemed to have more distance from him.

Gret felt that this change probably had nothing to do with him.

After all, he was now a mute paraplegic who couldn’t do anything.

And Gret could feel that the degree of alienation between the little mute and him was increasing with his health.

This discovery made Gret very curious. He had never seen anyone who took great pains to save a person, but became unhappy after the patient got better.

Even if Gret had a delicate heart, it was difficult to understand the behavior of the little mute.

After all, if a person hated another person, he shouldn’t have worked so hard to save him.

And every few days, the little mute would bring a small bowl of warm liquid and send it to Gret’s mouth.

As the liquid entered his stomach, the burning energy would make Gret drowsy. After waking up again, the weakness from his body would be reduced a little.

Gret was also very strange. At his level, a potion like this that restored his health would hardly cause fluctuations in his body if it was of average level.

Fortunately, the little mute often used this thing to warm his body, which made his broken body slowly become healthy.

But a little mute who barely survived on a garbage dump actually had such a thing. It was very inconsistent to think about it.

If it were him, with such a thing, he would be able to turn things around no matter what situation he fell into.

At least, he shouldn’t hold the treasure in his hand and wander around without food and clothing.

But think about it, if a child who has lost the ability to speak really leaked this secret.

It’s like a child carrying a treasure through a busy city. Who knows, there may be some bad-hearted people who will think of something wrong.

Normal people shouldn’t use things to test human nature, especially when he doesn’t have the ability to keep it.

Gret held the portal tightly in his hand for this reason.

This is a big deal, he may be able to withstand the intrusion of the magic world.

But he may not be able to withstand the blows from the whole world.

He is not alone, so he must think things through.

——

When he vaguely recovered a little vision, Gret finally knew what the little mute had brought to him to nourish him.

It was blood, or unicorn blood.

This makes sense, why only a little guy can save his life when his life is in danger.

At first, he thought he was lucky, but after drinking the warm tonic liquid brought by the little mute many times, Gret understood.

It’s not that he is lucky, but the things the little guy brought are really precious.

However, because he had no eyesight before, and the blood of unicorns did not have an unpleasant bloody smell, but instead had a strange and gentle fragrance, Gret mistakenly thought it was another magical liquid.

After all, he could understand any strange things in Harry Potter’s magical world.

This time, with the little vision that had just been restored, Gret saw the mysterious silver-gray light spots emanating from the bowl of liquid, and then he understood.

But after one doubt was solved, another doubt came to the door.

Unicorns are one of the most magical species in the magical world.

Any material on this race contains extremely rich magic.

The hair on its body can be used as the core of a magic wand, and the shed unicorn horn can be easily made into a powerful alchemical magic prop.

Even its breath can cleanse and purify the dirty air.

Therefore, wherever there is the breath of unicorns, all kinds of magical creatures have always gathered.

But at the same time, these holy and noble creatures are also extremely proud.

I have only seen them give the things that fall off their bodies to friends, but I have never seen them willing to donate their blood.

The blood of a unicorn has more abundant magic power than hair and unicorn horns, and it gathers the essence of the body.

No matter how dying your life is, as long as you can get a mouthful of blood from a unicorn, you can continue to live. Even if the god of death comes, he can’t take the life of the person who drinks the blood.

The world loves the unicorn race, probably to protect unicorns.

Their blood also contains a curse that is difficult to remove. Anyone who tries to prolong their life by drinking unicorn blood will be cursed by the world and half of their life will be swallowed up.

Unless they are willing.

Anyone who tries to kill this defenseless pure creature will pay a terrible price.

This is a motto that has been circulating in the magic world since ancient times.

Even dark wizards generally do not cross this red line.

As for the unicorn taking the initiative to send blood?

Grete had never heard of such a thing.

For unicorns, the horn and hair will fall off and grow, but the blood is basically non-renewable.

When unicorns reach adulthood, they are so powerful that it is impossible for ordinary people to hurt them, let alone make them bleed.

Besides, even if we don’t talk about strength, just talking about the love of the world, it is difficult to hurt them.

For example, sometimes when preparing advanced potions, the potion material called unicorn blood is just the blood of a magical creature that is very similar to a unicorn.

With true unicorn blood, only a man like Voldemort, who is crazy about pursuing immortality, can throw away the taboos that everyone has in mind.

——

After confirming that the thing the little mute took to renew his life was the blood of a unicorn, Gretel was shocked.

But as I felt carefully, I didn’t feel the difficult curse recorded in the classics on my body, such as the gangrene that attaches to the bones.

For a moment, Gretel was a little confused as to whether what he drank was the blood of a unicorn.

But as a potion master, he knows almost all potion ingredients in the world.

Whether legal or illegal, he’s basically been up close and personal.

Not to mention, Sugon also has a project on how to sustainably develop and utilize magical creatures.

Unicorn is exactly one of their research projects.

Therefore, after a brief period of doubt, Grete firmed up his opinion.

Whether it was the vague vision or the sense of smell, it told the brain that what the little mute brought was indeed the blood of a unicorn, and it was guaranteed to be genuine.

What Grete was confused about was why there was no curse in the unicorn’s blood that the little mute brought him.

Could it be said that the little mute has mastered the method to get rid of the curse?

Or did he get the unicorn’s flawless friendship?

After thinking about it carefully, Grete still felt that the second guess was more reasonable.

After all, if the little mute had the ability to get rid of the curse of the unicorn’s blood, he would never end up in this kind of environment.

However, even if he gained the unicorn’s friendship, there was still one thing he couldn’t explain. In the past few days, blood had been brought to him to warm his body.

Even if a unicorn’s body is blessed with blessings, it will be so weak after so many days of blood pumping.

Even if the little mute and the unknown unicorn were life-and-death friends, they shouldn’t be so generous.

Therefore, the situation that can satisfy this guess can only be achieved if the little mute has reached a friendship with the entire unicorn group.

No matter how he thought about it, Gretel felt something was wrong.

If you can achieve this kind of friendship with a group of unicorns, even if you follow the unicorns to the jungle to eat berries, it will be much better than digging for food in the garbage dump.

You are willing to donate so much blood to him, why don’t you bring him to your own tribe to make a living?

——

Incomprehensible.

It wasn’t until about another week passed that Grete’s vision gradually began to become clearer.

For the first time, he saw the appearance of the little benefactor who dragged him back from the sewage-filled street and saved him from a dying state.

At the same time, he also knew how outrageous his previous guess was.

But no matter how outrageous the guess was, it never shocked him to the point of being dumbfounded like when he saw the truth now.

Looking at the little mute who carefully brought a bowl of blood to his mouth, Gretel’s eyes were filled with unconcealable shock.

This was also the first time in more than a month that his eyes flashed with inspiration.

The little mute was just as he had imagined when he had no vision. He was slender and weak, and was not very well-dressed. At first glance, he looked like shabby clothes rummaged through the trash.

His eyes were timid, like a deer that was always frightened. The slightest movement could scare him into running away.

These are all fine, just as Grete expected.

What shocked him beyond imagination was that in the messy hair on the little mute’s head, a blunt and round horn emerged timidly but firmly from the broken hat.

The thread on the corner that came out of the gap in the wool made Grete instantly able to distinguish it clearly.

That is the horn of a unicorn. This kind of natural and invisible sense of holiness can only be seen on the body of a unicorn.

You have to be a living unicorn to have one.

Once the unicorn’s horn falls off, the harmonious and harmonious feeling that the world loves will basically be swept away.

It can only be reduced to a collection of large families, or used as a casting material for magic props.

Then he saw the gray bandages wrapped around both hands and wrists, and the silver-gray light spots seeping through the bandages.

Gretel instantly realized that this was a little unicorn!

I really want to convince myself to accept it, but no matter how I think about it, Grete doesn’t know why.

Fall~

How is it possible, how is it possible that a unicorn can transform into a human!

Gretel was so shocked that he couldn’t swallow smoothly, which also caused the little guy to instantly notice Gretel’s eyes.

Realizing that Grete had regained his sight, the little guy was instantly frightened.

Not caring about wiping down after feeding Gretel, he immediately dived into the garbage pile.

The sound gradually faded away, and Gretel couldn’t help but sigh.

It’s over, he must have scared the little guy.

To be honest, he was shocked, but he swore to God that he had no bad intentions.

He only recovered his eyesight, and the rest of his limbs and magic power did not listen to him at all.

When he thought that the frightened little guy would no longer care about him, Gret couldn’t help but smile.

It seems that he can only rely on himself next.

Fortunately, his body is getting better. With the help of [Homologous Source], it only takes some time to recover.

The panel did a good thing.

The information on it usually only provides a reference for Gret, and it will not cause Gret’s strength to change because it loses response.

Otherwise, Gret really doesn’t know what he can do next.

He can’t be rescued by the little mute and starve to death here in the end.

That would be too miserable. It would be better to lie on the street and become a ghost.

Thinking about the little mute who jumped out in panic, Gret began to worry again.

After being together for so long, he already knew that this was the base of the little mute.

If he leaves here, he probably has nowhere else to go.

Gret suddenly felt a little regretful when he thought of his little benefactor having to wander outside.

He shouldn’t be so shocked. It would be better to pretend that he didn’t see anything. At least, the little guy wouldn’t rush out so rashly.

He kept worrying until the evening.

Gret was still regretting in his heart, and suddenly heard a familiar rustling sound coming from far away.

He had heard this sound for so long and had long been familiar with it. It was the sound of the little mute coming back.

It had been like this in the past few days. During the day, the little guy fed him food and then went out to work hard for their livelihood.

Generally, when it was getting dark, the little guy would come back like now and feed him dinner.

As for three meals?

They didn’t have such luxurious conditions. Even if they had two meals, they couldn’t guarantee it every day.

The little guy came back and carefully rubbed the garbage on the other side and got in.

Gret wanted to apologize, but his voice was still out of his control.

So far, the only part of his body that has recovered its normal function is his eyes, so he can only use his eyes to express his apology as much as possible.

Try to comfort the frightened little guy with his eyes.

Gret can’t move. He has been in a semi-leaning posture since the little guy left.

Perhaps because he saw Gret’s state, the little guy’s panic was temporarily calmed down.

After a long time, he carefully went out again and came back with today’s food.

The little guy’s harvest today is not bad, a few pieces of bread that are a little burnt, and a piece of chicken that others haven’t finished eating.

Carefully pick off the burnt part, then break the bread with effort, and then stuff the rare piece of chicken into the bread.

Then he put the homemade hamburger straight to Gret’s mouth.
