Chapter 492 The Method of Creating the Harassing Horsefly! Hermione's Overly Noble Ideas!
Furthermore, the new ability to "incite negative emotions" can play a supporting role in the harassment fly creation project that Luna, Hagrid, Newt, and Dudley are jointly researching.
The doors to wisdom and understanding have been open for more than four months now.
The bursts of intellectual sparks and inspiration were enough for them to deduce the theoretical methods for creating harassing fly larvae in their minds.
In fact, they had already deduced it long ago; it was a mature theory that had been summarized and optimized many times and took all aspects into consideration.
However, turning theory into reality still requires time and practice.
Hagrid and Newt are currently conducting numerous breeding experiments.
Biliwig beetle should be used as the parent stock for breeding harassing fly.
This is a magical blue insect from Australia. Its wings flap extremely fast, allowing it to fly in a spinning motion. More importantly, it has a stinger on its tail. If stung, a person will feel dizzy and disoriented.
As for the father, the elven is selected from the Black Forest of Germany. Like the Pukki from the jungles of the Americas, the elven is also a variant of the fairy.
The Evil Spirit is about three feet tall, with a long, pointed, ugly face. It loves to eat human children and is a dangerous magical creature listed as a dark creature. Its laughter is mesmerizing.
As for how the magical insects combine with the goblin-like humanoid monsters, there are magical rituals that can achieve this.
After the Billywig Bug and the Evil Spirit have combined, magic is needed to inject the nascent magical substance extracted from the blood of the Invisible Beast, the soul energy of the Ghost, and most importantly, the Wizard's agitated emotions into the soon-to-be-formed bug egg.
To ensure that the first generation of harassing flies created could be best controlled at their source, this irritability had to be provided by someone Dudley trusted who could work at Hogwarts for a long time, or simply by Dudley himself.
Moreover, it must be fresh, of high quality, and in large quantities.
But this raises a problem.
Nowadays, apart from Snape who couldn't have her love, everyone at Hogwarts is happy and living a very fulfilling life, including Dudley.
Where can we find fresh, high-quality, and abundant sources of irritability?
In the past, Dudley and Newt used mismatched mental magic to forcibly generate irritability in order to conduct breeding experiments on the harassing fly.
The resulting feelings of irritability are not of particularly good quality.
Now that we have the ability to trigger negative emotions, the resulting feelings of irritability may be more purely conscious.
In addition, creating a new magical creature also requires special luck and opportunity.
Currently, when injecting magical substances and agitated emotions into the undeveloped eggs inside the Livig Insect Mother, success cannot be guaranteed 100%.
Many insect eggs lose their vitality before they are fully formed.
None of the surviving eggs successfully laid outside the body by the Biliwig worm mother have hatched so far.
Some insect eggs are viable at first, but slowly become dead eggs during the hatching process.
Some of the insect eggs are still alive, but they are unable to hatch for a long time.
It is likely due to the lack of intense stress in the incubation environment.
In the future, the ability to "induce negative emotions" can be used to continuously generate irritability to create an environment conducive to the hatching of insect eggs, in order to hatch the first generation of harassing flies as soon as possible.
In the design principles of the harassing fly, in order to prevent the harassing fly from multiplying in large numbers and becoming out of the wizard's control, thus causing disaster, Dudley added the first generation of control methods.
In other words, the first generation of harassing flies can control the life and death of all their offspring.
If the first Harassing Fly is controlled using the Magical Creatures Contract Magic, then even if the Harassing Fly offspring obtained by Hogwarts students, or even the offspring of those offspring, have problems, the first Harassing Fly can remotely control them to self-destruct.
In this way, there is no need for Dali to use conceptual-level methods to clean up the mess.
Dudley's thinking was very clear, so after he finished integrating the four relics in the principal's office, he briefly explained the situation to Old Man Dumbledore and then prepared to go to Hagrid's hut by the Forbidden Forest to find Hagrid and Newt to optimize the breeding process of the harassing horsefly eggs.
But then Hermione called him through the Mirror Mark, wanting to ask him questions in person and dragging Harry and Ron along to listen in.
Hermione's voice was very excited.
Dudley then instructed Hermione to take Harry and Ron to the magical research room opened by the Room of Requirement, thus ending the voice call.
Then, he frowned and activated his conceptual perception ability to sense what Hermione had encountered.
After receiving the answer, Dali frowned even more deeply.
"Dali, what happened?"
At this time, Dali had not yet left the principal's office, and Old Deng asked him with concern.
"Hermione's getting stuck on something, I'll go talk to her and get some advice."
Dudley quickly replied, then activated the conceptual opening spell at will. An invisible portal opened, and in the next instant, he stepped into the magical research lab constructed by the Room of Requirement.
This has become one of Dudley's regular haunts at Hogwarts.
……
“Harry, Ron, I don’t force you to agree with me, but I believe I’m right!”
On the way to the Room of Requirement, Hermione walked quickly and spoke to Harry and Ron, who were following closely behind.
Hermione's face showed stubbornness and excitement, while Harry and Ron wore similar sour expressions.
"When I meet Daryl, he will definitely support my idea, because he is the one who promoted the reform of Hogwarts' ideological education and attaches great importance to equality."
Seeing Harry and Ron looking miserable and not responding, Hermione continued, "If you change your minds later, I will still reluctantly allow you to join the House-Elf Rights Promotion Society, but I will reserve the position of First Secretary for Dudley."
"Thank you so much!"
Dudley, who had been sensing the situation of Hermione and the others, finally couldn't help but interrupt from a distance.
His tone revealed an unspeakable helplessness.
The three little ones were startled by the sound and stopped in their tracks, only to see a semi-transparent, illusory door open in the corridor in front of them, leading to Dudley, who was in the Room of Requirement.
"Don't just stand there, come in. If you have something to say, come in and we'll talk."
Dali reached out and rubbed his forehead, patiently inviting him on.
Realizing what was happening, the three little ones immediately used the portal opened by the conceptual opening spell to enter the magical research room of the Room of Requirement. The semi-transparent portal then disappeared.
Once inside, Hermione immediately began her story.
She said that when she used the layered perspective ability that Dudley had given her in the Great Hall that morning, she inadvertently saw through the floor of the Great Hall and saw the Hogwarts kitchen below, which was on the first basement floor of the castle.
Inside, hundreds of house-elves were busily working in an orderly fashion, using magic to process ingredients, cook food, and prepare lunch.
Hermione was very surprised by the discovery, and she recalled the news she had seen in the Daily Prophet.
Last year, when the Malfoys led the surrendered pure-blood wizards in their battle against Voldemort and his Death Eaters, there were some humanoid magical creatures like these that were helping the Death Eaters attack the surrendered pure-blood wizards.
These humanoid magical creatures weren't mentioned much in news reports, but they did appear in magical images published in newspapers.
Hermione hadn't paid much attention at the time, but now that she'd seen even more of these creatures at Hogwarts, she immediately remembered.
She then asked her classmates and looked up information, eventually learning some details about house-elves.
"Dali, this is so unfair! The house-elves are so pitiful! The wizards are enslaving them, abusing them, taking away their freedom, forcing them to do all sorts of things, and even sending them to the battlefield!"
Hermione excitedly confided in Dudley.
"So, Hermione, what do you want to do for them?" Dudley took a deep breath, looked at Hermione, and asked calmly.
"Of course, we should liberate them and restore freedom and equality to house-elves! Dudley, you should support me, right?"
Hermione expressed her meaning, then asked expectantly.
Harry and Ron also held their breath and looked at Dudley, waiting for his answer.
