Chapter 85: envee, the Bowtruckle that controls frost!

As far as Irina knows, the Bowtruckle is a magical creature that guards trees. They are mainly active in the west of England, southern Germany, and some forests in Scandinavia. They are peaceful, extremely shy, and insect-eating magical creatures.

Don't look at the harmless appearance of the Bowtruckle, but if the tree it inhabits is threatened, it will jump down and pounce on the loggers or tree-pruning experts who try to destroy its home, and gouge their eyes with its long and sharp fingers.

And if a wizard offers a Bowtruckle woodlice, it will be comforted for a long time, so that he or she can take wood from the tree to make a wand.

Yes, the trees where the Bowtruckle inhabits are mostly magical trees that can be used as raw materials for magic wands!

That is to say, the strange magical tree in front of Irina is most likely a tree suitable for being a material for a magic wand!

This made Irina a little surprised!

You know, when Irina was in Ollivander's Wand Shop, she didn't get the most suitable wand for her. She tried almost all the wands in the wand shop, but in the end, she could only choose a more suitable wand from these wands that didn't suit her and let her cast her magic more smoothly.

For this, Mr. Ollivander felt guilty for a long time and promised to give this wand to Irina for free.

After all, in Mr. Ollivander's view, it was absolutely his dereliction of duty that his wand shop didn't have wands suitable for little wizards!

And now, on this unheard-of magical tree in front of her, Irina saw the hope of getting the most suitable wand for her!

"Hello, little cuties!" Suppressing the excitement in her heart for the time being, Irina looked at these Bowtruckles, and the cute and small appearance of these Bowtruckles made her eyes light up.

In addition to snacks, Irina's hobbies were some cute little animals, otherwise she wouldn't have kept so many Puffskeins at home in her previous life.

Now seeing these cute Bowtruckles, Irina felt that her heart was about to be melted.

At this time, these Bowtruckles looked at Irina with some caution. Although this girl made them feel a kind of intimacy and made them want to get close to her, they still resisted the impulse in their hearts and remained calm for the strange little witch they had never seen before.

Until... Irina took out a whole bottle of their favorite woodlice!

"Eat quickly, little cuties!" After signaling her parents to come over, Irina opened the bottle of woodlice and poured them on the ground in front of the Bowtruckles.

Irina had seen cute creatures like Bowtruckles in Hagrid's book of magical creatures, and knew that they liked woodlice the most, so she carried three or four bottles of woodlice with her in case of an emergency.

Unexpectedly, she actually encountered this cute magical creature in the Scandinavian Mountains during this holiday! Igor and Carolina watched curiously as these Bowtruckles rushed forward without any reservation, hugging the woodlice on the ground and enjoying them.

While these Bowtruckles were enjoying the woodlice, Irina was also introducing this magical creature to her parents. Just as Irina was happily introducing it to her parents, a small Bowtruckle gently pulled the white silk on Irina's calf with its branch-like hands. "Ah, is this for me? Thank you so much!"

Irina looked over and saw that the Bowtruckle was holding a branch that was taller than its body and wanted to give it to Irina.

Irina took the branch with some surprise. The branch given by the Bowtruckle himself could definitely be used to make a wand!

In the magic world, Bowtruckles are equivalent to quality inspectors of the raw materials of wands!

Only qualified wand materials will be given as gifts by these lovely Bowtruckles!

When touching the branch, Irina could feel a faint chill coming out of the branch, but this chill did not make her feel cold. Instead, it made her feel very comfortable, as if it was a part of her body.

This feeling made Irina determined that this was the most suitable wand for her.

After putting away the magic branch given by the Bowtruckle, Irina and her parents planned to leave the forest.

Although she liked these little lives very much, she didn't want to disturb their lives. This experience should be regarded as a wonderful encounter in life, and it should be hidden in the bottom of her heart forever!

Irina thought so.

But just as Irina slowly retreated, the Bowtruckle that gave Irina the magic branch followed with its short legs.

"What's wrong?" Irina squatted down and looked at the Bowtruckle curiously.

The small Bowtruckle pointed at Irina, then pointed at itself, and took two steps closer to Irina, and finally stretched out its hand to pull the white silk on Irina's calf.

"You mean... you want to go with me?" Irina was a little surprised.

The Bowtruckle nodded vigorously, and in one go, jumped onto Irina's shoulder, and leaned on Irina's head with enjoyment.

Feeling the little life next to her head, Irina couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

Could it be that she could also have a Bowtruckle companion of her own like the magical creature master Mr. Newt Scamander?!

"I remember that Mr. Newt Scamander's Bowtruckle was called Pickett, right?!" Irina thought.

"Then what should my Bowtruckle be called?"

Irina looked at the Bowtruckle on her shoulder with some hesitation.

Compared with other Bowtruckles, this Bowtruckle seemed a little short, but it looked very delicate, and there was a glimmer of light on its tree-like skin, just like that strange magical tree.

Just then, this Bowtruckle seemed to want to show its master its ability. It stretched out its arms, and a piece of ice crystal condensed in front of it.

"Is this... a mutated Bowtruckle?! Or has its blood evolved because it grew on that strange magical tree?!"

Seeing the Bowtruckle's ability to summon ice crystals, Irina suddenly felt a little incredible.

No wonder this Bowtruckle chose to follow her. In addition to her own ability to attract small animals, her strong affinity for ice elements is probably also a reason.

"In that case, I'll call you Envee!" Irina said happily.

Although this is the West, Irina gave this Bowtruckle an oriental name.

Envee is a fairy in charge of frost and snow in Chinese legends, and the god of frost and snow in ancient mythology. This reflects Irina's expectation that this Bowtruckle will develop more abilities to control ice and snow in the future.

Perhaps, Envee will become her inseparable partner!

Irina thought so as she looked at Envee, who was sitting on her shoulder and playing with an ice crystal.
