I'm a priest at Hogwarts

Chapter 33 The Norwegian Thorn Dragon

Waiting for the teacher to fall asleep, Orlando didn’t feel sleepy at all. What the teacher explained today is really shocking. Taoism talks about longevity, and Buddhism talks about reincarnation, and they cannot be separated from a soul. Now the teacher taught him the method of soul cultivation. It does not mean that he stepped into the door of longevity with one foot.

Not necessarily, although soul cultivation is good, but after all, there are disadvantages. Losing the body and soul is like a rootless weed, and in the end, one has to end up with a dissipated soul. But the road to cultivating immortality has been broken, and it is impossible for him to go back, so what should he do.

Orlando sat cross-legged on the bed, stuck his chin in thought.

Using the "True Explanation of the Way of Alchemy" to cultivate the golden elixir to shape the body, and to cultivate the soul and cultivate the soul with the method of nourishing the soul.

As soon as this bold idea came out, Orlando couldn't help being overjoyed. He felt that this idea was feasible, and if it was done properly, it would not be a problem to live like the teacher for 800 years. After all, his physical body was much stronger than the teacher. Aging is not a 100-year thing either.

After confirming the goal, Orlando is full of motivation. He started to meditate today. It is still too early for him to talk about it. His soul, let alone materialized, is a problem even if it is manifested. It can only be hidden in the mud of his mind. Therefore, the most urgent task is to cultivate silently and accumulate strength. When one day I can also get out of my body, it will not be too late to verify today's thoughts.

Sleepless all night, the soul cultivation method taught by the teacher is really rare and supreme. The soul and the body do not interfere with each other, but they complement each other. While nourishing the soul, it can not affect the sleep of the body. The time will not delay the study during the day.

Early in the morning, Orlando ran back and forth, commanding Yuri to help him, and made a hearty and nutritious breakfast for the teacher before returning to school.He didn't eat with the teacher, not because he was afraid of making the teacher poor, but because of the wealth that Nicole Flamel had accumulated for hundreds of years, he could eat for 10 years if he let him go.It’s just that he thought, after all, this is a place of seclusion. Frequently letting Yuri go out to buy goods will inevitably increase the risk of exposure. At the same time, as a big eater, he has paid extra food expenses for his studies, so it’s better to go back to school to eat.

"Teacher, I'm leaving!"

"Go, go." Sipping the herbal porridge, Nicole Flamel waved him to school with a loving expression on his face.

"Yuri, if you have any problems, come to the school to look for me. The exit is in my dormitory. I have a password on the door. If you can't find me, you can go to the cafeteria and look for Capri. It knows where I am."

"Little master, Yuri has remembered."

Orlando was eating his breakfast as usual while reading the mail.Since he published several papers that caused a sensation in the magic world, he received letters from wizards from different places and countries every day. Most of the letters were for advice on quantitative potion refining and related issues. Orlando would take out some of them every day. Time, patiently answered, and replied one by one, he felt that he lived in the magical world after all, and if he wanted to integrate into this world, he still needed the necessary communication.

Before this time, Hermione was a very good helper. She carefully checked the envelopes and put them away in categories for Orlando to check.For letters with similar problems, she will also give reminders, which reduces a lot of workload.

"Hermione, thank you!" After writing the last reply, Orlando stretched himself, and swept the malicious and abusive letters on the table into the trash can.

"You're welcome, Orlando." For this person of the same age, Hermione had an indescribable feeling. He was smart, powerful, mature and mysterious, and he was incompatible with other Gryffindor students. He didn't want to be a teenager child.

"Harry, what's the matter with you?"

That's when Harry and Ron walked in. These days, every morning, as soon as the castle opened, they ran out, making their faces dirty every time, and then had a few bites when the meal was over.

"It's nothing." Harry didn't have the time to speak, and pulled the spaghetti vigorously. He had to hurry up and eat, or he would be hungry after a while.

Ron stuffed his pockets while eating. It seemed that he was starving.

"Harry, if there's anything I can do to help, just ask."

"Thank you, Orlando, I think we have resolved this problem. In a few days, not this Saturday, I think the matter will be resolved." Harry said with a relaxed face, this is what he has been worried about for more than a month. Day, the happiest day.

"Are you sure it's Saturday?" Hermione also looked relaxed.

"Sure, it's Saturday night." Ron said indistinctly with a ball of bread in his mouth. It was just after dinner time, and the food on the table was swept away in an instant.

Patting his clothes pockets, Ron was thankful that he packed a lot of food so he wouldn't be hungry.

At this time, Orlando noticed Ron's hand, holding a handkerchief, which was still full of blood.

"Ron, your hand is hurt."

Ron subconsciously hid his hands behind his back. "It's okay. I was bitten by a dog. It's just a small injury. It will be fine in two days."

"I have hemostatic powder here, here is a bottle for you." Orlando put his hand into his bosom, pretending to take something, but in fact took out a small bottle of hemostatic powder from the bracelet, which was the work he practiced when refining the potion , the effect of the medicine was okay, so he kept some.

"Take it, don't touch the water after external application, just twice in the morning and evening."

"Thank you, Orlando."

"Okay then, I'm going to class, bye."

Knowing that they weren't telling the truth, Orlando didn't intend to expose it. After all, everyone has their own secrets. Since he didn't want him to know, he didn't bother to care about them. It's better to let them suffer a little, and save trouble.

Early the next morning, Ron's bitten hand was twice as swollen.He wondered if it was a good idea to go to Madam Pomfrey—would she see that it was bitten by a dragon?By the afternoon, however, he had no other choice, and the wound had turned an ugly green color, and it appeared that Norbert's teeth were poisonous.

Harry and Hermione supported Ron from left to right. They walked to the door of the library. Hermione ran to look for Orlando. Harry put his body on Ron to prevent him from falling.

"Orlando, we're in big trouble." Hermione walked over and said in a low voice.

"what happened?"

"Ron was bitten by a dragon and poisoned."

"It's so serious, take me to have a look."

Orlando put down the book in his hand and hurried to the door. Ron was already in a coma.Orlando tore off the handkerchief wrapped around the wound, and was surprised to find that Ron's entire right hand had completely turned dark green, his arm was swollen enough to be as thick as two fists, and he was in critical condition. He didn't dare to neglect, and hurriedly took out a bottle of demon-dispelling potion He poured out half of it and sprinkled it on the wound, and opened Ron's mouth to drink the other half.

After a while, the anti-magic potion took effect, and the dark green color on Ron's arm gradually faded, but the person hadn't woken up yet, so it seemed that the residual poison was not cleared. There is no way to deal with the toxins that have penetrated into the body. If it is not eradicated as soon as possible, it is very likely to leave sequelae.

"Quickly, send him to Madam Pomfrey. If this toxin is not eradicated as soon as possible, the sequelae may accompany him for life."

Upon hearing this, Harry and Hermione stopped being entangled. The friend's life was the most important thing, and the others were put aside.

In order to hurry, Orlando took out his wand and cast a floating spell, which made Ron float on his back, and they ran all the way to the school hospital.

Madam Pomfrey looked at Ron in surprise, Harry stammered and said that he was bitten by an unknown magical creature, which even Orlando couldn't fool, let alone Pomfrey who has been a doctor for many years Mrs Ray.

After Ron settled down, several people returned to the castle. In the Gryffindor lounge, Orlando did not speak.

Harry wanted to speak several times, but closed his mouth. Hermione couldn't stand it anymore, and said directly, "Hagrid has a dragon, the Norwegian Ridgeback, and Ron was bitten by it."

"You really know how to play, Harry." Orlando said jokingly.

"We don't want to do this either. No one has raised a dragon before. Who knew it would grow so fast. We've already figured out a way to send it away this Saturday." Harry said a little anxiously.

"Orlando, you'll help us, won't you?" Hermione begged, doubting whether the two little friends would be able to send off a dragon safely.

Orlando had a headache, what was it called, "Take me to Hagrid now, don't wait for Saturday, lest you have long nights and dreams, I'll deal with it right away."

"You can't kill Norbert, Hagrid will be sad, and he will fight you desperately." Harry's eyes turned red anxiously.

"Who said I was going to kill it?"

"What you said just now, to get rid of it, Hermione also heard."

"What I mean is, find a place to raise this dragon. It just so happens that I know there is such a place to take it in, not to kill it."

"Really?"

"Really, take me there quickly. If the school finds out later, Hagrid will be expelled from the school. You don't want Hagrid to be displaced and homeless, right?"

"Well, let's go now." Hermione waved her hand and walked away.

It was almost dark at this time, and several people trotted out of the castle in order to hurry. Hagrid's hut was located on the edge of the Forbidden Forest.

"Hagrid, open the door. This is Harry." Harry knocked on the door first.

Orlando noticed that the doors and windows of Hagrid's house were tightly closed, and any gaps were covered with a layer of newspaper, making it airtight.

The door opened and a large, fluffy head leaked out, unshaven and charred, and Hagrid grinned wide, seemingly pleased, "Harry, Norbert can walk now, and I'm training him to call Mummy .”

Hagrid's voice was a little excited, he didn't notice that there were other people besides Harry, Harry said with a look of embarrassment, "Let us in quickly."

"Orlando, why are you here, what did I just say?" Hagrid was a little at a loss, as if a child who had made a mistake was caught by an adult.

"Hagrid, Orlando is here to help you, let us in quickly." Hermione said anxiously, she was a little cautious when she was discovered by Malfoy last time.

"Okay, okay, come in!" Hagrid moved away from his burly body.

A five-foot-long dragon was standing on the wooden house Hagrid had built for it, spitting, and the wooden floor was burned with saliva, but Hagrid turned a blind eye to it.

"See, Noble can walk now, and I'm going to train him to call Mama. Look, he knows I'm here, Noble! Noble! Mama is here."

Orlando has black hair, so he is really planning to raise a dragon as his son.

"Hagrid," Harry raised his voice, "in two weeks, Norbert will be as long as your house. Malfoy could go to Headmaster Dumbledore at any moment." Hagrid bit his lip. "I know I can't keep it forever, but I can't bear to send it away, I can't."

"Hagrid, you must know that you will bring Dumbledore into big trouble. You don't think about yourself, you have to think about the headmaster, right? If a student complains that someone raises a dragon privately in the school, the headmaster is likely to be banned by the board of directors." Impeachment, do you know what the consequences will be?" Orlando couldn't stand it anymore, and had to explain the seriousness of the matter.

Hagrid wiped away his tears, "Does it really have to be like this?"

"It has to be like this, Hagrid." Hermione couldn't bear it, but Orlando was right, the consequences would be too serious, even the headmaster.

"Okay then, what do you decide to do? Didn't you say that they were sent away on Saturday?" Hagrid completely gave up, and asked dejectedly.

"It's too late. Ron was bitten and was sent to the hospital in the afternoon. Madam Pomfrey must have noticed something. We need to send him away before the incident happens, and it will be too late for Buddha." Harry anxiously explained .

"Is Ron seriously hurt?"

"I was poisoned. Although I used the demon-dispelling potion to stop the injury, the residual poison was not cleared. If it was not treated in time, it might have life-long sequelae, so I had to be sent to the school hospital." Orlando explained.

"It's all my fault." Hagrid complained, tugging at his hair vigorously.

"Now is not the time to be upset, Hagrid. We invited Orlando over to solve this problem." Hermione became dissatisfied with Hagrid's delay in sending Norbert away.

"Okay, what do you say to do?"

Orlando snapped his fingers, and the summoned Capri teleported phantom appeared in the cabin.

"Master, are you looking for me?"

"Go to the hidden hut, say hello to the teacher, and say that I want to place a little dragon in the castle, and bring Yuri with you when you come back, and the two of you will take this dragon back."

Capri glanced at the five-foot-long little dragon, and bowed respectfully, "Okay, master, Capri will go now."

"Orlando, do you have house-elves?"

"Another teacher?"

"The teacher still has a castle?"

"You are singing a double reed, one sentence per person. It is inconvenient to tell you the details, but Principal Dumbledore knows about my teacher's acceptance of me. To be precise, it is his recommendation that I can worship here." Under the teacher's door. Where to send Noble to adopt, it is safe and secret, it is the best."
