Admiral of Hogwarts

After the Soviets obtained those manors that could be used for breeding, they sent people to look at them. They found that those manors were in a state of pure stocking and looked like a pristine wilderness. Nothing but a few facilities to deal with inspections by the Russian Ministry of Magic.

At first, the Soviet Union and others thought it was the gang members who had transferred the wealth in advance. It was not until later that they repeatedly interrogated the captives that they learned that no magical creatures had actually been raised in this place in the past. The purpose of applying for the certificate was to use legal documents as a cover to whitewash the illegal trade of magical creatures.

However, after the Soviet Union took over these manors, they definitely could not let these manors remain as deserted as before, so they recruited a group of people and began to run the manor seriously. Because of the chaos in the Muggle world, they easily recruited a group of Muggle wizards who were quite skilled in this area and got the manor up and running.

According to the report from the Soviet Union in the admiral network last night, those manors have been put into operation after several weeks of construction. According to the evaluation of a professional she hired with a high salary, it only takes two or three months for the first batch of herbs to mature before these estates can become profitable.

This is where Hugo recommended Noble to Hagrid. If you think about the books in the library, you will know that if dragons could be raised at home in the past, raising dragons must be a relatively tedious but not too difficult job. Normal manors that can obtain xxxxx level magical creature breeding licenses should be able to do this.

"And your dragon is a Norwegian Ridgeback, a dragon that lives in the north." Hugo persuaded Hagrid, "So I think it is more appropriate for your dragon to go to the breeding farm of sister Veneto's friend's house. Some, because the climate in northern Russia is closer to the environment of its hometown, which is conducive to its growth."

"Then will they kill the dragon to get its organs?" Hagrid asked after hearing what Hugo and the others said after being silent for a few seconds.

"No." Veneto said firmly. "Because dragons are not something that can be seen everywhere like goblins, so they cannot kill this dragon even for their own benefit. Besides, according to the law, killing these fire dragons is not allowed under normal circumstances. At most, It is enough to obtain the claws, scales, teeth, skin and feces that it naturally shed or left behind from this dragon."

Although dragon products seem to be everywhere, there are not many places where you really need to kill dragons. Taking the most common dragon skin leather goods as an example, the reason why they are widely used is because dragons, as an oviparous reptile, can shed their skins like lizards and snakes. With the size of a giant dragon, even the skin shed by a dragon can It's also enough to make a lot of dragonhide gloves.

Among the dragon-related products on the market, the only materials that can be obtained by killing the dragon are the dragon's heart tendons in the wand, and potions that can be prepared by using part of the dragon's internal organs. However, considering that wands are not consumables, and not every wand requires a dragon's heart tendon. At the same time, the potions that need to be added to the dragon's internal organs basically require a potion master like Professor Snape to prepare them, and the output itself is not high. Therefore, the entire wizarding world does not have a large demand for this type of raw materials.

The important thing is that according to the size of the dragon, the internal organs of each dragon are actually huge in size. The entire British magical world only consumes the internal organs of one or two giant dragons a year. Therefore, just the dragons that die naturally every year plus the occasional slaughter and even poaching are enough to meet the needs of the wizards, and there is no need to kill additional dragons.

"More importantly, they are currently focusing on the production of high-end magic raw materials, so they tend to let these magical creatures grow in the wild to improve the quality of the final product. What's more, giant dragons are not the kind that can be kept in cages. A magical creature. If nothing unexpected happens, it will live happily there until it dies of old age." Veneto finally said. Apparently, what she said moved Hagrid and agreed that they would first send an owl to Russia. Ask.

Although Hagrid was still hesitant, he finally chose to believe what Veneto said. Of course, in addition to his own willingness to believe in Veneto, the legal breeding license they had in the Soviet Union was also the reason that impressed Hagrid the most.

After all, it is common sense to infer that those who can legally breed a giant dragon would definitely prefer to keep the giant dragon alive and healthy so as to provide a variety of resources every year, rather than just do what poachers do. You can choose the method of killing the dragon to gain maximum profits in a very short time.

"You didn't lie to Hagrid, did you?" Ron asked Veneto with some confusion after going out. "The Wizards' Conference in 1709 officially passed a bill prohibiting the raising of dragons. How could anyone allow the legal raising of dragons?"

"Of course I know this law." Veneto looked at Ron and said seriously. "But there is a question you can think about. If dragon breeding is really banned, where do you think those dragon leather gloves on the freshman admission form come from?"

"Uh, this" was mentioned by Veneto. Even Ron, who was not usually smart, discovered the problem and asked. "So do you know what this is about?"

"If you read the details of this law, you will find that this law only prohibits wizards from raising dragons, but allows wizards to establish protected areas and observe where dragons appear, while trying not to harm the dragon's life. Get some materials from the giant dragon."

"So the official name of the breeding license I'm talking about should be a license that allows the establishment of a protected area." Veneto said with a shrug. "It just so happens that Hagrid is a Norwegian Ridgeback native to Norway. Its habitat is not far from the large manor owned by my sister's friend. After secretly transporting the dragon away this time, they can wait to raise it. After one o'clock it was claimed that the dragon had flown over from Norway."

"It turns out there are such big loopholes in the law." After hearing Veneto's words, Harry and the others came to their senses. "If there is such a law, what is the meaning of the prohibition in the law?"

"Of course it makes sense." Veneto snorted softly and said, "This way, pure-blood families can prevent private individuals and those breeding farms with insufficient capital from breeding dragons, and then monopolize the business of dragon-related materials. After all, the so-called protected area requires a large area of ​​land far away from the sight of most humans, and ordinary people really can’t come up with this.”

"It should be a rich pure-blood family." Weasley added, "With my family's financial conditions, let alone opening a dragon farm. As long as there is one giant dragon, my family will be completely destitute."

"Anyway, we can finally get rid of that dragon, can't we?" Harry said excitedly after everyone finished speaking. "I really hope Veneto's sister can get a reply from her friend soon to get permission."

"Don't worry, it should be soon." Hugo patted Harry on the shoulder and said, "But we have to borrow your Hathaway. After all, it is not convenient to borrow the school's owl to deliver this letter."
