Calm Down... Children Are Ignorant (1)

Newt was actually shocked when he first entered the Room of Requirement.

What he saw was a green "rice field" Yes, at first glance, it did look like a rice field. But when he took a closer look, he was surprised.

'This piece of plant..... In addition to being as green as a rice field. There is nothing like a paddy field anymore. Rice is planted in the paddy fields, but here all of them had poisonous tentacles! Yet you call that a little bit dangerous?' Newt thought.

Don't say it's just dangerous for humans. Even if an elephant fell into this "little bit" of danger... they would die on the spot!'

Newt's eyes were a little dull. He reached out and rubbed his forehead.

'Well... it is just a little more poisonous tentacles... As long as the protective measures are done well. The harm of poisonous tentacles will be reduced... He shouldn't be planting any other dangerous things...'

Newt raised his head, just in time to see a strange-shaped willow tree beside the ridge of the poisonous tentacles...

Although this willow tree didn't look thick, it was extremely tall. Even if there was no wind, the branches were constantly dangling, constantly stirring Newt's nerves. And it was such a big Whomping Willow!

Newt forced himself to calm down.

'Isn't it just Whomping Willow? It's okay to plant a tree.'

Newt took a step forward while comforting himself. Then...he discovered that it was just a visual problem.

That was not a Whomping Willow at all... It was a whole row! The one in front blocked the dozens of trees in the back!

"Calm down... Calm down... Children are ignorant, he is just doing this for fun." Newt comforted himself.

Then his eyes passed by the row of Whomping Willows. Then he saw a special devil's net crawling on a small hillside...

'This devil's net is lazily basking in the sun in the Room of Requirement?'

Newt couldn't help rubbing his eyes again. 'I must be old-eyed.'

Although the sunlight in the Room of Requirement was simulated.

It seemed that it worked for plants too! So... How could the devil's net not be afraid of light?

'Was the place where the devil's net lies on its stomach a cave?' Newt took a deep breath.

"He is just a kid, he's ignorant and playful, it's normal to plant some plants indiscriminately... um..."

Newt turned to look the other way and saw the hills of biting Kale mandrake

Newt: "..."

Blake looked at Newt, whose eyes were widening. He was a little worried that he would suddenly fall over.

"Er... Mr. Scamander? Are you all right?"

"It is a big deal..." Newt gasped.

He gave Blake a complicated look. This little guy was so ruthless!

When he was in his first year. It was already too much to raise a mink quietly. But the boy actually... planted so many prohibited plants!

'If you really do not want to be discovered, then don't do this! The punishment was not as simple as expulsion! This was enough for the little guy to be sent to be a prisoner in Azkaban!'

"Son, do you know that these plants of yours...are actually very dangerous?"

Newt couldn't help but want to make things clear to Blake after all. Whether it was forbidden or not, he put that aside first. He was not very law-abiding himself anyway. 

But these plants are all deadly dangerous. Every plant here, exactly. There are kill records... of people who have died at the hands of these plants. Even while caring for the plants an accidental injury can be fatal!

"I know these things are dangerous, Mr Scamander. But . . . I have my reasons for having to grow them."

Blake closed the door to the Room of Requirement. Then he took Newt to the door of his rest cabin. 

He pulled a chair over and invited Newt to sit down. Then he poured him a cup of steaming black tea.

"What's your reason for growing them?" Newt asked curiously.

Blake stood up, his voice a little high. "You should know, Mr Scamander, that the more dangerous a plant is, the more valuable it is."

"Just like snake venom, the more poisonous it is, the higher its medicinal value."

"So... I choose them as part of my ideal experiment!"

When Newt heard this, he couldn't help but ask, "Your ideal experiment? What is your ideal experiment? What does it have to do with these plants?"

"This matter, we must first start with a mutated devil's net seed..."

Blake went on to say, "Maybe I'm a little boastful when I say this, but... to put it bluntly, I have a certain talent for herbalism and Magizoology..."

Newt glanced at the forbidden plants all over the mountains. He sighed in his heart.

'If these plants were planted by Blake himself. Then he did learn herbal medicine very well. Otherwise, he might not survive this time.'

'At this age, I had also learned herbal medicine so well. But this is more than my certain talent! This talent is simply perfect! He is a prodigy!'

'Then thinking of him being able to talk to magical animals... Even the king of horned camels can be convinced by him. Willing to be led by him. This magizoological talent... It can be described as unbelievable!'

Blake continued: "So after I acquired a certain amount of knowledge, I started to actually grow things."

"Then... when I was buying seeds, I accidentally discovered a mutated devil's net seed."

Newt looked at the devil's net that was basking in the sun over there. Until now, it was a little unbelievable. Although he specialized in the study of magical animals. But magical plants also appeared in this aspect to a certain extent.

This kind of devil's net that was not afraid of light was indeed the first time he had seen it.

'This devil's net should be the mutated seed that Blake said, right?'

Sure enough, Blake continued, "So I planted that mutated Devil's Web, that one..." Blake pointed to the Devil's Web on the hillside.

"I have tested it, and this devil's net is not afraid of light! It is also extremely resistant to fire."

"And if you use its tentacles to refine potions, the potions will be much more effective!"

"It even has a few less side effects than the potion made from ordinary devil's net! At that time, I was thinking, maybe... I can find a way to artificially create mutant plant variants."

"In that case, there may be new variants with better efficacy and more effects!"

"So... I just had to grow a lot of them... and choose the best... I plan to keep planting them like this until the best-quality, even mutated plants are selected!"

"In that case, Herbology and Potions, which haven't made much progress in the wizarding world for a long time, will definitely take a big step forward!"

"As long as my direction is right! Then this goal will definitely be achieved!"

Blake told Newt what he had said to Cassandra earlier.

Of course, last time it was just an excuse. This time, it was to explain why I planted so many dangerous plants...

'By the way, let's see if we can find a few more treasure chests with Newt, an honest man.'
