[Underground Laboratory of the Tower]
Link was concentrating on using his wand to control a round-can-shaped machine that looked somewhat steampunk. At this moment, blue light kept flashing in his eyes, clearly already pushing his energy output to the limit.
And as Link sent the final trace of magic power into the wand, the lid of the machine finally opened.
Inside, a puppy covered all over with green slime appeared.
At the same time, a golden bullet screen also floated in front of Link's eyes.
[Fantastic Beast Hybrid Breeding Manufacture LV1 Acquired!]
"Phew!"
Seeing this, Link let out a sigh of relief and revealed a satisfied smile.
Now it had already been more than a month since they recaptured Richard and the others.
Since the last incident happened, Newt and Kettleburn had gone through some detailed discussions, and finally, the few people not only decided not to pursue Richard's night raid on them, but also to keep it a secret for them.
Thus, the misunderstandings among everyone were completely resolved, and Miracle Land and the tower returned once again to their formerly harmonious life.
Afterwards, Link and Newt and the others also added many protection spells for Miracle Land such as the Muggle-Repelling Charm and Unplottable Charm to ensure that it would not be discovered again by the Ministry of Magic.
Of course, these things weren't free.
As an exchange, Richard had to fully cooperate with Newt's research on Sezhuangni, while Link chose to take Richard's magical beast breeding technology.
Generally speaking, breeding magical beasts is a subject that consumes a lot of time.
Because traditional methods are still at the stage of following natural traditions, letting animals breed through primitive reproductive means.
This made the work efficiency very low, and the cost of trial-and-error very high.
But Richard's technology was different.
This guy didn't learn anything else after mixing around in the Muggle world for several years, but he sure read a lot of popular science magazines, and thereby gained quite a bit of inspiration.
Nowadays, his technology, by drawing from cloning theory, artificial insemination theory, and some techniques involving nutrient solutions with magical acceleration, had already become completely different from traditional methods.
Of course, this difference was a development in a good direction. Compared with traditional techniques, Richard's methods were more efficient and also easier to learn.
Only, while looking at the puppy that had already been wiped clean of slime inside the cultivation tank, Link suddenly began to suspect whether Richard's technology still had some flaws in certain aspects.
Because this time the creature he bred was clearly a hybrid of a Diricawl and Miracle Land's giant sled dog.
'But why does this one look so strange? That wise look in the eyes, that familiar three-flame pattern on its forehead… Damn it, isn't this just a husky?'
Link felt his brain getting a bit muddled, but after hesitating for a moment, he still picked up the puppy and walked toward the elevator.
'Well, anyway, Reparifarge is something every wizard can do. Even if it's a husky, it's fine.'
Taking the elevator, Link quickly arrived at the top floor of the tower and found Emily, who was having afternoon tea with Sezhuangni.
Link raised the puppy in front of Emily and said, "This is a gift for you. Do you like it?"
As if to match Link's action, the puppy in his hands even yawned, looking rather silly.
Emily's eyes widened at the sight. "Wow! So cute! Link, how did you think of giving me this!"
Emily took the puppy and held it in her arms, speaking with a face full of surprise.
"You really like the sled dogs of Miracle Land, don't you? I remembered that!" Link said, hands on hips. "And this one was bred by myself!"
"Thank you!"
Emily, stroking the puppy's head, replied without even turning her head, while the silly one immediately sucked onto Emily's finger.
Seeing this, Sezhuangni sitting beside them raised an eyebrow, and said disdainfully, "That's it? This looks like a dumb dog. Your technique is far worse than Richard's!"
The smile on Link's face disappeared instantly, while Emily, upon hearing this, quickly retorted, "Don't say that! I like it!"
Sezhuangni shook her head in disgust and shouted toward the bar, "Richard! My cola is gone! Bring me another one!"
"Eh! Coming, darling!"
Richard's voice grew closer from afar. In a short while, he came over carrying a glass of cola and stood in front of Sezhuangni.
"For you, darling!" Richard said while rubbing his hands, looking extremely servile.
Sezhuangni took the cola, crossed her legs proudly, and waved her hand, "Alright, go now, don't disturb my afternoon tea."
"Okay! Darling!"
Richard scurried off, making Link's expression a little awkward.
This scene he had already witnessed countless times in the past month. Never mind the fact that Sezhuangni liked to use fat nerd happy water (soda) as afternoon tea.
What really surprised Link was Sezhuangni's personality.
Unlike the cold and noble image she had previously shown, after harmony was restored, Sezhuangni's personality had become simply awfully rotten to the extreme.
The day she regained freedom, she beat Newt badly for asking her ridiculous questions. Normally, she just ordered Richard around, completely treating him like a servant.
Honestly, Link was now very curious about what Richard liked about Sezhuangni.
Because in his eyes, living with Sezhuangni was simply a kind of torment.
At this moment, Emily suddenly leaned in and whispered, "Don't worry, I'll never treat you like that."
The sudden voice and the hot breath Emily blew onto his ear startled Link. He jerked his head and then smiled, "I knew it, you love me."
Emily didn't speak. She just smiled and kept looking into Link's eyes.
And just then, a string of somewhat messy footsteps sounded again from the elevator entrance.
"Alright, ladies and gentlemen, if you want to get affectionate, wait until tonight. For now, it's time we set off back."
Kettleburn's voice made Emily shyly turn her face away, while Link, having his moment ruined, turned to glare at him angrily.
Unfortunately, Link didn't have the basilisk's instant-death gaze, so Kettleburn simply grinned and then looked at Richard, who was delivering tea, "Richard, then we'll be leaving first."
"Professor!" Richard, also wearing an apron like Sam, quickly said, "You really won't stay a little longer?"
Hearing this, Kettleburn, Newt, and the others all smiled and said nothing, while Link took Emily and stood beside Kettleburn, waving toward Richard and Sezhuangni,
"We made quite a few portkeys between the tower and Ying Country. We'll definitely meet again. Oh right, Richard, thanks for your technology and machine. Goodbye."
After speaking, Professor Kettleburn waved his wand.
With a series of crackling firecracker sounds, the group disappeared without a trace.
