After two and a half days, the remaining two dozen people, plus two animals, finally transported all the magical creatures out of Germany. For more than two days, everyone worked almost non-stop, using potions to stay awake when tired or sleepy. Such high-intensity work made even young people like Alan feel overwheld, not to ntion older individuals like Newt and Alia. By the end of it, Alan felt Newt was about to faint on the spot; only anomalies like Hagrid and Shalltear were still fully conscious.
However, the effort of these two days was not in vain; over a thousand magical creatures were successfully relocated, including nearly a hundred Re'em and Tebo Warthogs, which were kept in Alan's briefcase. This wasn't because Alan was greedy and insisted on keeping these ergency food supplies with him. Rather, there were not many places left in the entire UK that could accommodate these magical creatures; it wasn't that there was absolutely no space, but the places that could house these animals while ensuring no information leaked were very limited. Not to ntion there were fourteen dragons, nine chiras, six nundus, four manticores, and other XXXXX-rated magical creatures among them; just accommodating these high-risk creatures was extrely difficult, and if any of them escaped, the harm caused would be a complete disaster.
These high-risk magical creatures were now all housed in Newt's private park, but the remaining large number of magical creatures, even with the space in his briefcase fully utilized, could only accommodate half of them. For this, Professor Kettleburn specifically contacted Dumbledore and risked placing the remaining magical creatures on the edge of the Forbidden Forest. Because of this, Dumbledore specially strengthened Hogwarts' control, strictly prohibiting young wizards from approaching the Forbidden Forest across all houses, and even almost canceled that year's Quidditch match. Fortunately, the headmaster wasn't so severe, but the outer periter of the Forbidden Forest was now filled with magical creatures, which caused Professor Kettleburn's park to operate at overload.
However, there was an advantage to housing these magical creatures in the Forbidden Forest around Hogwarts: magical creatures like Thestrals, Hippogriffs, and Unicorns could be directly released to supplent the local populations in the Forbidden Forest. These free-range magical creatures relieved a lot of pressure on Hagrid and Professor Kettleburn, though many other magical creatures still had to be housed and cared for individually in sheds with climate-controlled blankets. But Hagrid and Professor Kettleburn seed to enjoy it imnsely; after completing the transfer of the magical creatures, they imdiately returned to Hogwarts, ready to carefully look after what they considered their young darlings.
After settling these magical creatures, Alan had the others withdraw from the three parks; the German Aurors followed Andre back to the Ministry of Magic, while the other British Aurors first followed Alia back to Britain to gather personnel, preparing for the next phase of action. And after clearing the parks, Alan could finally free up his hands to deal with these three core hubs. It took him another day, but he almost completely dismantled the three magic spires and removed and collected all the alchemy tools, equipnt, and runes inside and outside the parks, not even sparing the magic tal buried underground as conduits.
After a thorough search, Alan had extracted all the value from these parks. And his harvest was indeed bountiful; there were quite a few Silver Lightning Trading Company products recovered, including fifty anti-theft monitoring devices, eighteen tactical vests, and 240 magic lanterns, and the wear and tear on these items was not significant, so they could be refurbished and sold again.
In terms of materials, all the magical creature by-products from the parks were taken into his possession, including magical creature fur, feathers, horns, and scales asured in pounds, such as Phoenix tail feathers, Unicorn tail hair, and dragon scales, all in large handfuls. Additionally, there were various furs, bones, and by-products asured in tons; Alan even found a large box of Demiguise pelts, which could be used to make Invisibility Cloaks. Not to ntion edible outputs like the honey secreted by Billywig stings; right now, Shalltear and Hog, those two gluttons, were each holding a large jar and slurping it down frantically, with Shalltear even specially transforming into her bat form to dive into one of the honey jars. Alan was completely unconcerned about this; on one hand, it was because they had indeed contributed a lot to this operation, and this was a deserved reward, and on the other hand, he simply didn't care, as he had about ten more honey jars of this bucket size.
At the sa ti, he also gained a lot in terms of alchemy materials, including over two hundred pounds of Agriba Alloy, one pound of refined mithril, three pounds of goblin urim steel, and over forty pounds of Aether Mithril, all of which Alan had painstakingly extracted from the core hubs and the surrounding magic pipelines. Furthermore, he also acquired three stone Giant Array Conductors, which were essentially the long stone pillars extending to the top in the core hubs. They were originally ordinary granite pillars, but after subsequent processing and alchemy treatnt, along with the injection of a large amount of magic-conducting materials and the engraving of arrays on their surface, these pillars gained the ability to diffuse arrays to distant locations, similar to the one in the British Ministry of Magic's Alchemy Room.
These stone conductors, when spoken of, might seem less valuable than the materials themselves, but that was not the case; although they did not consu much magical material, they were very troubleso to produce, and just such a long, structurally complete stone pillar was extrely rare, not to ntion the ti and effort required for fine post-processing. Therefore, these finished diffusers were very rare on the market; in fact, in the entire wizarding world, only Egypt could order them; you couldn't buy them anywhere else. This is similar to the giant wooden beams needed when building old houses; their value might not be as high as an exquisite mahogany furniture piece, but without them, a sufficiently sturdy house cannot be built.
The giant conductors in front of him were the sa; in terms of technical difficulty, they might not even compare to any of the disruptors Alan had, but if you really wanted to make one yourself, you were powerless to do so. Alan had never made significant progress in large-scale alchemy arrays precisely because he lacked this kind of equipnt, or rather, it no longer fell into the category of equipnt; it was actually one of the necessary components for large-scale arrays, and the rest of the arrays only required sufficient materials and corresponding blueprints to create magic arrays with a sufficiently large radiation range. So, after obtaining these giant conductors, Alan specifically did not damage the magic patterns on them and carefully put them away.
As for the other building materials used to construct the magic spires, he only selected so perfectly cut stone slabs and put them away, as these building materials were too heavy, and he was not a construction foreman; he only needed to ensure he had enough of these consumables. After digging up the entire park three feet deep, Alan did not forget to cast a simple shielding spell to completely cover these three parks, which would at least hide them for a few days, preventing them from being discovered by the outside world after the magical barrier dissipated.
After finishing all this, Alan sat down on the steps in front of the magic spire; these past few days of major work had truly exhausted him, but fortunately, the harvest was plentiful, and his ti was not wasted. At this mont, the young Thunderbird Thor, who was eating honey with Hog and Shalltear nearby, saw Alan finally free and imdiately ran to him playfully, rubbing his beak, covered in sticky residue, against Alan's cheek. Alan was a bit exasperated at this sight; although this was his first formal eting with the young Thunderbird, their ntal connection was already very close, and Thor acted very intimately toward him, just like a long-lost family mber.
Originally, Alan had planned to let Thor return with Newt to his park, to reunite with another large Thunderbird also living there; that large Thunderbird belonged to the sa lineage as Thor and could be considered his older sister. But after eting Alan, the young Thunderbird Thor completely clung to him, unwilling to leave his side at all. Alan had no solution for this; perhaps it was because the young Thunderbird had been separated from its flock for too long, as he could feel a deep sense of reliance from it, so he simply allowed it to stay by his side.
And seeing Thor run off to bond with Alan, Shalltear, who had transford into a small bat, poked her head out of the honey jar, glaring at the young Thunderbird with a resentful expression.
"Thor! How can you forget old friends when you have new ones? Have you forgotten that I was the one you t first? We spent so many days together, and as soon as soone else cos along, you happily follow them. You're such a heartless fellow." Shalltear complained indignantly; during her many days of lurking in the breeding park, she had developed a deep bond with the young Thunderbird, but as soon as Alan arrived, the young Thunderbird ran off with him without looking back. It felt like she had discovered that her companion was actually a sycophant, not very damaging but extrely insulting.
"Burp." Hog, who was also slurping honey nearby, looked up, let out a full burp, and then mocked Shalltear, "That only proves Thor's judgnt is sharp. Maybe it's because he spent so much ti with you that he saw through your true colors." After mocking Shalltear, Hog even barked twice at Thor; he could speak animal languages and could communicate with most highly intelligent magical creatures.
Indeed, after hearing Hog's barks, Thor specifically tilted his head and chirped twice, as if responding to his call.
"Hehe, see? Although it's also our first eting, Thor clearly prefers ," Hog boasted triumphantly to Shalltear.
