Hogwarts: I'm Cousin Harry.

The alchemy of the left hand, the modification and processing of the magic outfit with the right hand, and the help of these Cornish elves greatly improved the progress of the modification.

Hermione is responsible for designing the layout of the various rooms in the house, while Harry is responsible for shopping for decorations in Diagon Alley.

The clear division of labor has greatly increased the speed of castle construction.

Inside the castle, the vixens with their teeth and claws are either pushing a rag together, or holding a feather duster together, or carrying a broom, in short, they are cleaning the room that has been remodeled.

And on the lawn outside the castle, a group of dwarf goblins, who were originally lazy, were holding large scissors that were completely out of proportion to their bodies, and were diligently trimming the messy grass.

Any creature has its own value of existence, even foxes and goblins who are labeled as 'pests' by other wizards.

Both Hu Meizi and Goblin were caught by Dudley. They were originally low-intelligence and did not have the conditions for domestication, but they can be domesticated after their skills are upgraded to LV2. Well, since the basilisk was appeased, domestication and The two skills of language of magical animals have inexplicably evolved to the level of LV2. Dudley still has no idea of ​​the principle, and vaguely feels that it should be related to the number of magical animals he encountered.

It's a pity that the LV2 magical animal taming technique is not enough to tame magical creatures like basilisks and fire dragons.

Otherwise, Dudley could also COS a beast tamer.

On the steps outside the gate of the ancient castle, a Nixie was lazily basking in the sun with its belly upturned, making whirring noises continuously. It was found by Dudley in the Forbidden Forest together with the Wretch Bird and the Mandrake. .

During this period of time, I was fed with delicious food and drink, and I gained a lot of weight.

"Floo powder is really troublesome. Every time I use it, I get dust all over my body."

The travel-stained Harry returned to the castle, complained softly, took out his wand, and waved it vigorously, his dirty body immediately became clean.

The cleanup enchantment works pretty well a lot of the time.

"When the renovation is complete, I'll install a self-cleaning fireplace in the living room so it won't be such a hassle."

Dudley and Harry were talking, but their hands were never idle.

One by one, Harry took things out of the bag, which of course had been cast with the Untraceable Stretching Charm.

This spell is definitely the best and most convenient in the HP world, not one of them.

"Brother D, this is the seed you want."

Upon reaching the sacks of seeds, Harry handed them to Dudley.

"Well, these are the things." Dudley took the seeds and nodded in satisfaction.

"First of all this."

Dudley took out one of the bags and scattered the seeds along the edge of the yard.

"Then."

He casually untied the red and white ball at his waist.

"Go 'Walking Grass'."

A white light flashed, yawning, and a mandrake with sleepy eyes appeared on the spot.

Mandrakes are nocturnal plants. Under normal circumstances, they basically burrow into the ground during the day, and only a little green leaves emerge outside.However, after being domesticated by Dudley, this mandrake can move freely during the day, but it needs to overcome the jet lag.

"Walking grass targets those seeds using growth."

The mandrake looked at Dudley with its head tilted, and a big "?" popped out of it.

"Let you ripen those seeds."

Mandrake: "!"

This time the mandrake understood Dudley's words, went to the place where the seeds had been sprinkled and began to dance, waving orange-yellow powder from its emerald green leaves as it danced.

In a short while, those seeds that originally took more than ten days to germinate miraculously emerged from the ground at this moment.

Normal mandrakes do not have the ability to ripen.

They only make faint and hallucinogenic calls, which can be fatal in severe cases.

But after Dudley was domesticated, his mandrake possessed this ability.

Although he can't help much in battle, he is a good hand in logistics.

"Water and fertilize."

Dudley said softly.

Immediately, the Cornish elves flew over, and they kept irrigating the land with kettles and fertilizers.

After a while, those green buds grew into barbed thorns at an unimaginable speed, entangled on those bushes, forming a natural obstacle.

What Dudley had just dropped were some iron thorn seeds, for basic defense.

Originally, Dudley's idea was to plant a devil's net. The defensive performance of the devil's net is much better than that of iron thorns. Unfortunately, that thing is particularly afraid of light, so it can't be planted in the yard.

Unless Dudley was willing to put a big canopy over the castle so that it wouldn't see the sun all day, don't even think about it.

"It worked well."

Dudley looked at the iron thorns all around the castle, and nodded in satisfaction.

"Try another seed."

Dudley pulled out another packet of seeds again.

Soon, with the help of mandrakes, the surrounding flowerbeds were filled with all kinds of magical plants.

"Good job, come back."

After complimenting the mandrake for a few words, he stuffed it with a pack of his favorite snacks, and put it back in the red and white ball.

"Magical ability." Harry couldn't help sighing even after seeing it many times.

Harry has read a lot of books now, and this is the first time he has seen a mandrake that can assist the growth of plants.

"Dudley, I think we should discuss the allocation of rooms."

Hermione's voice came from inside the door, and then the door was pushed open, startling the Niffler who was sleeping under the steps.

After seeing that it was Hermione, Xixiu let out a cry of excitement, and then climbed onto Hermione's shoulders along Hermione's clothes, with a pair of small eyes like black coal balls, staring greedily at the sapphire-like diamond in Hermione's hand. Shiny ring.

Xixiu is a magical creature that loves treasure very much. It can't wait to put all the shiny and valuable things into its own pocket or dedicate it to its owner.It is worth mentioning that this magical creature is especially good at making holes.

Of course, at most it just looked at Hermione's ring and would not keep it for itself.

It wasn't stupid, and knew it was from Dudley.

"I want the master bedroom, you live next to me, that's all."

Dudley's decisive answer made Hermione's little face turn red again.

Chapter 178 Chapter 176

Soon it was time to meet with your friends.

Malfoy and Neville came to Godric's Hollow through the Floo network early.

It's a pity that Ron couldn't come in the end. His father, Arthur, was so lucky recently that he won the "Daily Prophet" annual award—the Galleon Award, which cost a total of 700 Galleons. The family planned to use the money to travel to Egypt. Because Bill, the eldest son of the Weasley family, works in Egypt.

Before entering the door, Malfoy sighed after seeing the iron thorn security net that was as high as a person in a circle.

"I should really suggest to my father, let him do it too."

Malfoy Manor has no defensive measures at all, and if others want to come in, they will come in.

It is worth mentioning that Malfoy no longer calls Lucius proudly as "my dad" now, but adopts a relatively formal tone.

Although the iron thorn anti-theft net cannot defend against wizards, the function of these thorns is not for defense, but a warning. If a wizard wants to clean up these thorns, it is bound to attract the attention of the house owner.

At the moment when they formally stepped into the iron gate of the garden, both Neville and Malfoy's eyes lit up, as if they had come to another time and space, a paradise.

"It's not much worse than my family's manor at all." Even Malfoy, who had seen many places in the market, couldn't help admiring.

His family's Malfoy Manor was grand, but it felt empty, and the only scenery was the central fountain and the white peacock.

Dudley's place was different. The entire garden consisted of countless pieces of lawn, and each piece of lawn was planted with different kinds of magical plants. Many plants could not be named by Malfoy, and each had its own characteristics.Countless little fairies (some kind of magical creatures), butterflies, etc. are flying around among these magical plants, so beautiful.

Located in the center of the garden, a small five-story castle is located there.

During this period of time, the old castle has basically been remodeled, and the three of Dudley have lived in it for a while. In fact, the old house of the Potter family has also been repaired in sevens and eighties, but Harry does not intend to live there, after all, there is no Parents don't have Dudley either, and can't call it home.

In fact, the inner area of ​​the castle suite is larger than Malfoy Manor. After all, there are five floors, but the occupied area is slightly smaller. Malfoy Manor.

It wasn't that Dudley didn't want to build a bigger place, and it wasn't because he didn't have money. The main thing was Godric's Hollow, where Godric Gryffindor, one of the legendary Big Four, was born.

Many wizards live here, and many times you are rich and people don't sell it to you.

It's different from the remote place like Malfoy Manor where you can't see a single person within a hundred kilometers.

"Malfoy, if I were you, you'd better not go any further."

Seeing that Malfoy had crossed a magical pumpkin patch and had to go further, Harry suddenly kindly reminded him.

Directly in front of him was a field of cabbage.

Malfoy glanced at him in surprise, and said nonchalantly, "It's just some kale, what's there to worry about? Pote, you won't be out of your mind, right?"

"I think Harry is serious." Neville, who was following behind the two, suddenly said.

As an expert in herbal medicine, Neville couldn't take his eyes off the field of cabbage.

The color of these cabbages is different from the pure green in the usual impression, but with some orange-yellow in the green.

Especially the outermost layer, which is yellowish orange.

"what is that?"

Seeing that Neville said the same thing, Malfoy was finally sure that Harry wasn't kidding himself, and asked after staring at the kale for a while.

He didn't find the slightest clue.

Forgive Malfoy, he's not very good at herbalism.

"Harry, I guess I'm not mistaken?"

Neville asked Harry a little uncertainly.

There was something in his tone, and Harry knew what he was trying to ask.

"That area is an important defensive measure," Harry emphasized.

After hearing this, Neville suddenly realized.

Only Malfoy listened in a cloud of fog, completely unintelligible.

"What the hell are you two talking about?"

It was Neville who kindly explained to him: "Those cabbages, if I'm not mistaken."

"It's biting kale."

"Bitten kale? What?"

Malfoy is still at a loss, herbalism is really not his field of expertise, his learning progress is not much higher than that of the same grade, and he hasn't learned about biting cabbage yet.

Biting cabbage, the full name is Chinese biting cabbage, simply put, it is magic cabbage.

It's just that this cabbage is not the kind of cabbage that is peeled off layer by layer in the world of ordinary people, and it tastes a bit harsh and harmless to humans and animals.

This thing can bite people. There is a big mouth full of sharp teeth in the place of the cabbage heart. It is extremely aggressive. The most important point is that it is a plant that can move freely.

With enough numbers, even a fire dragon will be killed alive.

Right in front of Malfoy, there is a whole field of biting cabbage.

After hearing Neville's explanation, Malfoy shuddered subconsciously, and moved a few steps to the side calmly, keeping himself as far away from the vegetable field as possible, and his steps were much gentler, fearing that the group of cabbage wake up.

Among other things, this cabbage field alone can raise the defense of the entire castle to a higher level.

Definitely a top defense.

"These cabbages have a slow growth cycle and high requirements, so they are difficult to grow. Brother D has spent a lot of thought." Harry introduced.

His voice made Malfoy nervous: "Hush Potter, keep it down."

Emphasis on a cowardly word.

Harry shook his head helplessly: "Don't worry, without Brother D's order, as long as you don't stray into it, you'll be fine. These cabbages won't come out easily."

Neville withdrew his reluctant gaze and followed the footsteps of the other two.

As a top student in herbal medicine, he naturally knows the charm of biting kale.
