Hogwarts: I Am Such a Model Wizard

Chapter 266: The Venomous Leopard Giving Birth

As a person who can pick up a ball escaping bird when he goes out for a walk, Newt's biggest characteristic is that he never lacks surprises around him.

 Because tomorrow is the first day of school, Kyle originally planned to have dinner here and then go back.

But as soon as he took a bite of the freshly baked caramel hash browns, Newt rushed over and grabbed Kyle by the collar and pulled him into the box.

“What, what’s wrong?” Kyle followed Newt with a confused look on his face, stuffing the remaining half of the caramel potato pancake into his mouth.

“The venomous leopard is going to give birth, tonight.” Newt said without looking back. He grabbed Kyle’s arm, “We have to get there as soon as possible.”

 “What?” Kyle’s mouth twitched.

The poisonous leopard is a magical animal that looks like a puma. It is all black and has a huge poisonous sac on its neck, which makes even its breath carry deadly poison.

 Although it can actively control toxins in the body, it depends on the situation.

  Kyle didn’t think that it would have the energy to care about whether its poison would accidentally injure others when it was giving birth.

 No, it should be said that the Poisonous Leopard is the most dangerous at this time.

 Childbirth consumes a lot of physical energy. In order to survive the weak period safely and to ensure that no other creatures come close, they will instinctively diffuse a large amount of highly toxic gas around them.

 Now and in the past, it is basically no different from dying.

 “Can I not go?”

Kyle tried to refuse.

“I’m not scared, it’s mainly because the caramel potato pancakes don’t taste good when they’re cold…”

 “It’s okay, Tina can do it again.”

 “That would be so troublesome…”

“Tina likes this...she makes a lot every day, and sometimes she even has to eat it all together.”

"But…"

Kyle wanted to say something more, but Newt suddenly slapped his head and took out something about the same size as the Golden Snitch.

"This was made with Dumbledore's help. It is wrapped with a stone formed in the stomach of the Riem cow. If you carry it with you, the poisonous mist will have no effect on you."

　　　…”

 If you have such a good thing, you should take it out early.

If he had known about this thing just now, he wouldn’t have waited until now.

Kyle took it immediately.

It is a small ball made of silver wire. The outermost layer is a layer of fine net, wrapping a golden "stone".

Kyle picked it up and could still smell a faint earthy fragrance...

 He nodded.

Hmm, that’s right, it’s a serious bezoar.

It is the same thing as the bezoar in the stomach of goats, and both have strong detoxification effects.

 The color is just a little brighter. Ordinary bezoar is brown, but this one is as golden as galleons.

Kyle picked up a leaf from the side, turned it into a rope, threaded it and hung it around his neck.

To be on the safe side, he deliberately made the rope very short.

 After all this is done...

 “Get ready Kyle, we have to hurry.”

 …

Newt grabbed Kyle's arm and led him to apparate to a grassland to the east of the box.

 The first second he came here, Kyle felt something was wrong.

Just like London in the early morning, the sky above the grassland is filled with a light green mist visible to the naked eye.

However, there seems to be an invisible wall at the edge of the grassland, preventing the poisonous mist from spreading outwards.

　　 It should be arranged by Newt.

“Is it okay to just take it with you?” Kyle couldn’t help but ask, looking at the poisonous mist in front of him.

 After all, bezoars generally have to be placed in the mouth to have a detoxifying effect. “Well, just take it with you.”

Newt nodded, "The Riem cow is immune to almost all toxins, and its bezoar can naturally restrain the poisonous leopard... By the way, there's also this."

Newt took out his wand and waved it lightly, and a transparent bubble appeared on Kyle's head.

 The same goes for himself.

 “Okay, let’s go in.”

 Newt was the first to walk into the poisonous fog.

Kyle paused, looked at Fox who was following behind him, and said.

“Fox, think of something sad quickly so that you can shed some tears. I may need them later.

 No need for more, a pint is enough. "

Be prepared for any danger, the phoenix's tears can even detoxify the poison of the basilisk, and the venomous leopard will be no problem either.

 Listening to Kyle's words, Fox couldn't help but flap him with his wings.

 It is a phoenix, not a faucet.

How dare you say a pint of tears... What, is your thirst quenched?

Even if you really drink it as water, you won’t need that much.

Angry, Fox grabbed Kyle's clothes and led him into the grassland full of poisonous mist without any explanation.

 The combination of the Bubble Curse and the Bezoar is really effective. All the poisonous mist that appeared around him dispersed automatically.

　　 Did not walk for long, the two of them and the Phoenix soon found the poisonous leopard on a huge stone.

It lay on its side on the stone, its belly was bulging, and it moaned in pain from time to time.

Newt stepped forward, gently put his hand on its chin, and kneaded it back and forth regularly.

“It helps her relax a lot,” Newt explained.

Kyle looked at his movements and wondered: "But if it is so close, won't the smell of bezoar affect it?"

“Yes, it will be a little bit, but it’s not that serious.”

Newt glanced down and said, "It's probably like someone who doesn't like vegetables smells carrots."

Kyle nodded, understanding what Newt meant.

Even though it’s annoying...but it’s not that hard to accept.

Kyle sat next to him and watched Newt licking the poison leopard's chin.

 Under his skillful techniques, the Poisonous Leopard's breathing gradually became much calmer, and he no longer made the painful moans.

 But as mentioned just now, this is destined to be a long process.

Kyle originally thought that Newt thought this opportunity was rare and specially brought him to have a long experience.

It wasn’t until two hours later...when Newt’s tactics also failed to work, that Kyle realized that he had been roped in as a “chat partner.”

 That's right, it literally means chatting with the poisonous leopard to distract it.

It was easy to tell from the other party's tone that it didn't want to speak. It even tried to bite Kyle because it thought he was a little irritable. Fortunately, Newt calmed him down in the end.

 “Don’t stop, keep talking!” Newt urged.

 There was no other way, Kyle could only bite the bullet and continue talking to himself.

 But the problem is that Kyle doesn’t know what to say.

Just now he has repeated all the comforting words he can think of several times. If he says these words again, the poisonous leopard will probably bite him.

 The kind that even Newt can't stop.

Having no choice, Kyle could only focus on the magical animals he had seen.

From the three-headed dog Fluffy to Norbert the Norwegian Ridgeback, combined with what happened at Hogwarts, it’s like telling a story.
