Chapter 31: Phoenix Edition
The temperature difference between ice and fire, coupled with explosive flavors, is simply the most delightful enjoyment in the world."
Elena thoughtfully caressed the soft feathers of the Phoenix Fox, swallowed nervously, and furrowed her brow in anticipation.
"But this way, the freshness of the meat will be very demanding. There's no need to rush to grab Phoenix's meat every time you want to eat it. If you accidentally kill it, you'll have to patiently wait for it to regrow."
Upon hearing the whisper of the little silver-haired loli, Fox's body trembled once more, and the head trapped in the branch cap began to move back and forth in panic.
"Behave, don't cause trouble, I'm thinking things through."
Feeling the Phoenix beneath her, Elena gently stroked Fox's broad wings.
"Calm down, I generally don't like sashimi, well, that is to say, slices of raw meat have no technical merit for consumption."
"In fact, if eaten raw, it seems a bit wild. We are sorcerers."
The portrait of Filida Spoor nodded in agreement, holding her arms in confusion, "But aside from this, it's really difficult for the Phoenix to find a suitable cooking method."
Unconsciously, all the portraits in the headmaster's office stirred, holding their breath and watching the man's dangerous conversation nervously.
"Wait, Director Filida, I think I have come up with a method."
Elena's fingers swam back and forth along Fox's wing muscles, and suddenly a flash of light crossed her mind, as she looked at Filida Spoor joyfully.
"Have you heard of non-magical fishermen's methods for handling those extra fish?"
"Eh? You mean salted fish..."
The young witch with long dark hair brightened and nodded approvingly.
"This is truly a good method, just need to place the thick salt on the wings and legs of the Phoenix, and put them in a cool, dry place, and slowly dry them, and they can be stored for a long time."
Phoenix Fox's struggle began to intensify, its long beak poking through the branch caps one by one from the inside out.
"Yes, this way, when it's a cold winter, you only need to cut a small piece of the Phoenix meat into the soup, and boil the warm magic contained in the Phoenix, even a small bowl is enough to instantly warm the whole body."
Finally, she met a confidant in the magical world, and the little silver-haired loli was excited and then added Filida's words.
After a brief pause, Elena wiped her mouth and drooled slightly, saying, "What a great wizard wrote 'A Thousand Kinds of Magical Herbs and Mushrooms'. I regret not having met Director Filida earlier."
"Please don't exaggerate, over the years, you are the bravest little witch I've ever known, the bravest to explore the unknown."
The young witch with long dark hair waved her hands somewhat bashfully, but obviously Elena's praise suited her particular
Filida Spoor looked at the well-behaved little silver-haired loli with satisfaction. After some thought, she raised her finger and said slowly, "Indeed, I can teach you a little trick about cutting magical substances...
Goo—
At that moment, Phoenix Fox suddenly emitted a series of unusually sharp chirps, and began to shake its entwined throat desperately, no longer caring if it would pierce the branch cap.
Immediately after, Fox's huge golden-red wings spread out directly to both sides, and its wings flapped fiercely, taking off directly.
"Eh? Hey, hey?!"
Perking her ears and attentively listening to the magical tricks taught by Director Filida, Elena leaned her body, subconsciously grabbing the branch cap with both hands, trying to hold onto the Phoenix.
However, even the little silver-haired loli, who couldn't match the strength of a fish, was even more helpless in the face of a Phoenix that could bear the weight of several adults.
In the next second, Elena was effortlessly taken by Phoenix Fox, as if she were a piece of fluttering paper, with almost no effective hindrance.
Gripping the edge of the branch cap with her hands, following the silver-haired loli Phoenix's twists and turns in the office, she suddenly remembered a saying: riding a tiger is difficult.
Because her entire head was covered by the branch cap, the terrified Phoenix Fox began to fly around like a headless fly in Dumbledore's spacious and beautiful office.
On its back, a small figure with silver hair struggled to grab a black hat to prevent it from falling.
"Left left left!"
"Ah, stupid bird, don't fly around here, I'm not eating you today!"
"Right and right, don't go there, it's a bookshelf!"
Boom!
The tall wooden bookshelf groaned bitterly and slowly fell, and several books scattered everywhere like scattered flowers.
"Stop! Stop! Stop! Then hit the lamp again-"
Whack!
Several lights were directly broken by Fox with the lamp post, and fell to the ground.
"Don't come! Don't come!"
"Oh my God, who will notify Dumbledore?"
Finally, she escaped the ear impact, and the exclamations of the prestigious directors of Hogwarts arrived.
"Wait a moment, there are portraits of the directors over there..."
