Rolf stared blankly at the flying cocoa, then looked at the unpicked fruit in his hand, pursed his lips, and looked at Newt with tears in his eyes.
"Grandpa, Ro- Rolf..." Rolf grew up to know everyone, except for some magical animals that were obviously malicious towards humans.
However, it was obvious that the thunderbird in front of him, which his grandfather had rescued from the United States, clearly did not like him.
Newt watched Coco snatch away a handful of his fruits, tease Rolf with her wings, and then fly into the air, howling. Under Rolf's pitiful gaze, Newt could only retract his open palm, clench it into a fist, hold back the smile on his lips, and cough lightly.
"Rolf, this thunderbird might have been hurt by the little wizard, so it has a lot of malice towards the little wizard." Newt thought of what Agarth said, that he burned Coco's feathers, and looking at Coco's attitude towards the little wizard, it was obvious that it was holding a grudge.
But it's not surprising, as the Thunderbird is indeed an animal that holds grudges, not to mention that Agarth angered the same Thunderbird once or twice.
"But, the Thunderbird is so powerful, how could it be hurt by a little wizard? The little wizard is not even as big as one of the Thunderbird's legs."
Rolf didn't understand. The little wizard couldn't even use magic, so how could he hurt a magical animal classified as XXXX level.
Grandpa thinks Rolf is stupid for saying that the little wizard hurt the thunderbird! Rolf wrinkled his nose and scratched a few strands of hair that were blowing into his eyes. At this time, his dark brown curls were already messed up by the strong wind created by Coco.
"There is still some." Newt thought of Lackey's scratched calf, the red ball that could not be extinguished, and Agarth's powerful magic, and replied silently.
"Yes? Bigger than the Thunderbird's legs?" Rolf thought Newt was talking about a little wizard whose legs were bigger than those of a Thunderbird. He looked at Newt in shock and curiosity, wishing that Newt would introduce him to a little wizard.
"No, there are still little wizards who can harm some powerful magical animals."
"Oh, who is that? Grandpa, do you know them?"
Rolf racked his brains but couldn't remember any child that was so amazing among the people Newt knew.
"Didn't you just see it?" Newt smiled at Rolf.
Rolf then remembered that his grandparents had brought back a child, but he was so eager to see the Thunderbird that he didn't even see what the child looked like and just pulled his grandfather into the box.
"Oh, Grandpa, you haven't told me why you brought back someone younger than me!" Rolf said coquettishly with a slightly jealous tone and pouted his lips.
"Didn't Tina say the child came to our house to recuperate?" Newt took Rolf's hand and pulled him out of the box.
"Come on, let's go check on Wendy. Is she about to give birth?"
"Yes! I was going to ask Sally to send you a letter to hurry you home."
Rolf then remembered the Augurey bird at home that was about to give birth. Although the bird was about to give birth, its feelings for Rolf were not as deep as those for Newt. So in recent days, whenever Rolf approached Wendy's nest, he would be driven away by Wendy's cries.
"Go and have a look."
After the two came out of the box, they went straight to the basement, passed through layers of stairs, and arrived at a garden with a huge lawn. The southeast corner of the garden was overgrown with weeds.
The two looked at a corner covered with thorns, and saw a teardrop-shaped nest between the tree trunks, in the middle of which was a divination bird with dark green feathers and a sharp long beak lying.
In the nest, Wendy heard the sound and raised her head alertly. It was not until she saw Newt and Rolf that she called out a few times in relief.
"Hey, Wendy, are you okay?" Newt slowly reached out his hand, took Wendy out of the nest, and carefully observed Wendy's abdomen.
"Chi~" Wendy pecked Newt's finger with her sharp peck.
"Good girl, let me see." Newt touched Wendy's bulging belly and felt it was hard.
At this time, the feathers on Wendy's abdomen had been inflated by her bulging body, and she would rub her bulging abdomen with her sharp pecks from time to time.
The originally dense feathers on her abdomen were rubbed by her and some of them fell off. It can be seen that the egg in her stomach seemed to make Wendy extremely uncomfortable.
"Wendy has been pecking at her own feathers this morning. I think she is about to give birth, otherwise she wouldn't be in such pain." Rolf moved closer to Newt and looked at Wendy in his arms with heartache.
"Yes." Newt felt Wendy's abdomen start to beat wildly, and hurriedly ordered Rolf: "Go get some white fresh."
Rolf heard it, nodded, and turned to run to the tool room in the basement. The family's usual potions and herbs were all placed in the tool room.
"Good girl, take your time, don't be in a hurry."
Newt stroked Wendy's head and gently put Wendy back into the nest.
Newt cannot interfere too much with the laws of the animal world.
The augury bird in front of us is about to give birth. After the augury bird becomes pregnant, the eggs in its belly will become bigger and bigger, causing great pain to the mother bird. However, as long as the birth goes smoothly and the mother bird is well taken care of, nothing will go wrong.
Many augury birds die as soon as their eggs fall to the ground. This is because the eggshells are hard and huge, which makes the mother bird very uncomfortable. It is difficult for an augury bird to survive without an owner.
In addition, the divination bird can predict the coming heavy rain by making a howling sound, but wizards have always believed that the divination bird's shrill cry foreshadows death, so they will not choose to raise the divination bird.
This is also the reason why Augurey eggs are valuable but Augurey birds are not.
In the nest, Wendy lay there in pain, shallow breaths coming out of her nostrils, and the beating of her abdomen became more and more intense.
Along with Wendy's painful howls, a drizzle began to fall in the small garden. The raindrops gradually became larger, and Newt stood aside, and could only reach out his hand from time to time to gently soothe Wendy's head.
Rolf, who took the potion and ran back, also clenched his fists and cheered Wendy on.
After a long time, until Wendy's breathing became rapid, a gray-green egg slid out of Wendy's body with streams of mucus, and Wendy seemed to have used up all her strength.
He could only look at Newt with his eyes and make small noises, as if he was saying something to Newt.
Newt took the difficile from Rolf and applied the medicine to Wendy's bloody abdomen that she had bitten herself.
While praising Wendy in her mouth, "Good girl, good girl, it's very healthy."
Newt placed the Augurey egg laid by Wendy under her wings. Wendy gently covered the egg with her wings, curled up her head, and the whole bird curled up into a ball and fell into a deep sleep.
Newt reinforced Wendy's nest again, and after confirming that it was correct, he took Rolf, who was already drenched by the heavy rain, back home.
