Harry Potter and the Old Ones

"Going around?" Hagrid was stunned at first, and then he became visibly excited. If it weren't for the fact that it was a little out of time, Hagrid would have wanted to clap his hands directly——

"Yeah, yeah, that's great, Aragog, I love checking out your new home!"

An indescribable and indescribable feeling arose in Hagrid's heart, mixed with excitement, joy and a trace of sadness, as if the child he had raised had finally bought a house independently and invited himself to visit the new home.

"Here first." Aragog led Hagrid around the thin wooden door and walked back.

Hagrid then discovered that there was a giant stick-like stone pillar not far from where they were standing. The stone pillar was pulled up from the ground. Its surface was extremely rough, as if it had been hollowed out, and it was filled with countless holes, large and small.

When Hagrid followed Aragog close to the stone pillar, he could hear the sound of rushing water and feel the moist breath rushing towards his face.

"Mr. Tiera said this is my residence." Aragog explained slowly, "The top of this stone pillar is the highest place in the entire spider city. Mr. Tiera said I can see it by standing on the top of the stone pillar. A whole city of spiders.”

"Wow, that's great!" Hagrid praised, "Then what's the sound of water?"

"Mr. Tiera helped us open up the groundwater here." Aragog continued to explain. "He said that if we encounter a drought or a season without rain, we can use our spider silk to draw water from here and then irrigate it. Our grass.”

"Water the grass?" Hagrid asked in confusion, "Why do you water the grass?"

"Well, Mr. Tiera said." Aragog seemed to be trying hard to recall what Tiera had said. "He said. He said let us plant a kind of grass and then give this grass to. Well, give it to a person." Some four-legged creatures, yes, like cows and sheep, we give them to eat, and then we eat them when they grow up. Yeah, that's what it means. Mr. Tiela taught us The magic of how to turn grass into meat.”

"Cow? Sheep?" Hagrid seemed to be unable to believe what he heard, and asked in shock, "Did Tiera be given to you for animal husbandry?"

"Ah, yes, yes, yes, that's what Tiera said. He called it animal husbandry," Aragog said.

"Oh, Merlin's beard!" said Hagrid.

"Ah, yes, there is such a word." Aragog added, "At that time, Tiera brought over several four-legged animals such as cows and sheep, and then saw my children eating more than a dozen of them immediately. At that time, he also said the same thing, but I never understood what it meant."

"Uh, no, it's not interesting. Well, what about those four-legged creatures like cows and sheep?" Hagrid asked.

"Mr. Tiera said that if we can do as he said, then he guarantees us that we will have endless fresh blood and flesh to eat in the future." Aragog said, "So I ordered our descendants not to eat Those four-legged creatures called cows and sheep.”

"Then what?" Hagrid asked, "Then where did you raise those cows and sheep?"

"There." Aragog continued walking out with Hagrid——

After walking for about half an hour, Hagrid saw the boundary of the giant sequoia forest. Near the edge of the giant sequoia forest, there were densely planted many giant broad-leaf grasses of more than one meter and nearly two meters, which must be Tiera. Pasture grown by the Acromantula clan.

"Mr. Tiera gave us the seeds for this pasture." Aragog said as he walked. It is very difficult for ordinary people to travel through such a tall and dense pasture area, but for a small elephant-sized It is not a difficult task for the Acromantula King and the half-giant Hagrid who is over three meters tall and nearly four meters tall.

"Oh, Hagrid, be careful, don't step on my child." Aragog warned Hagrid as he walked through the grass.

"Mr. Tiera brought the seeds of the grass and showed us how to sow the grass." Aragog said, "Then he used magic to make the grass he planted grow up instantly."

"Mr. Tiela said that we can let the newborn baby live in this piece of pasture." Aragog continued, "Mr. Tiela said that this single and prosperous piece of pasture will definitely attract grasshoppers. These insects are natural food for our newborn Acromantula babies, which not only protects the pasture, but also feeds our babies.”

"Oh my gosh, it's really a clever and sensible idea!" Hagrid praised.

"Mr. Tiera only helped us sow this area." Aragog waved one of his eight giant legs and said, "He asked us to sow the rest ourselves."

Hagrid looked in the direction Aragog pointed. In an open space next to an area full of pasture, there was a group of Acromantulas that were probably in their teenage state and not much bigger than a pug. They were lying on the ground. , sowing grass seeds one by one, not much bigger than rice grains.

They use their two forelimbs to dig out a shallow hole in the soft, moist soil, put the grass seeds in it, and then cover it with a shallow layer of soil.

"Mr. Tiera said that when we fully master the techniques of planting and animal husbandry, he will come back and teach us the magic of making these grasses grow quickly." Aragog added, "In this way, we can raise more cattle and Sheep can feed more of my descendants.”

"This is great!" Hagrid said happily, "This way you will never kill each other because of hunger."

"Yes, Hagrid, yes." Aragog also said, "Although we cannot eat these cattle and sheep used for breeding and growth for the time being, Mr. Tiera has also brought us aging or illness. Cows, sheep, pigs, and some small four-limbed animals called rabbits, mice, stray cats and stray dogs. Although these four-limbed animals brought to us to eat all have some problems, it does not affect the taste. , still very fresh and delicious.”

"That's great!" Hagrid said with a smile, "This way you can focus on raising these cattle and sheep!"

"Yes, Hagrid, yes." Aragog said, "According to Mr. Tiera's suggestion, as long as we survive one breeding season, the calves and lambs we give birth to will be enough to feed us. Every one of my descendants!”
