"In order to make it easier for the female Phoenix to lower her guard and accept Allen, we have to use the same method to capture Allen in the Animagus state and put him into the confinement array. I think this way, the female Phoenix can empathize with Allen." Hermione gently shook her head and said to Luna, "By the way, Luna, let Allen eat more first. He has to stay here for a while."
As soon as Hermione's voice fell, Luna's figure stepped into the shadow. After a while, when she reappeared, a similar situation occurred. In a large transparent bubble, a gorgeous Phoenix was imprisoned. It was Allen.
The bubble burst, and the Phoenix inside fell into the confinement room. The entire confinement room seemed to be shrouded by the brilliance of this Phoenix. Part of its feathers was golden yellow, and the other part was bright red. Its body size was similar to that of a swan, and it had a long shining golden tail. Its beak and claws were also very long. It looked like a majestic giant eagle.
Allen turned his head to look at the confinement room. When he found that only Hermione, Luna, and his daughter were present, he was relieved. Allen turned around and looked up with his round eyes.
Hermione didn't understand what he meant. Her eyes also looked up, but there was no strange phenomenon above Allen's head.
Allen saw Hermione's actions, and his eyes opened even wider. He continued to look in the direction of the door, which made this majestic Phoenix's eyes look like they were constantly twitching. He tilted his head and looked at Hermione and Luna in a daze. In the end, he had no choice but to sound a vague male voice in Hermione and Luna's hearts, urging them to leave the confinement room and not allow them to observe …
"Luna, let's go out first." Hermione walked to Luna's side. She pulled the unhappy Luna's arm and left the confinement room with Helena.
Only then did Alan heave a sigh of relief. He turned around and looked at the female phoenix whose attention was attracted by his appearance.
Allen didn't act rashly. He directly approached the female Phoenix, making himself look like a Phoenix caught in an unfamiliar environment. He raised the feathers on his head and spread out his golden tail feathers. He walked around the confinement room and instantly shifted his body, as if he was trying to escape. But in the blink of an eye, he appeared in the center of the pentagram confinement formation, very close to the female Phoenix. The two Phoenixes jumped back as if they were startled at the same time, keeping a distance from each other.
"Hi, hello." Allen tried to communicate with the female Phoenix using his animal communication ability like he did with Gaia Tina. He slowly approached the female Phoenix, but it wasn't clear whether the Phoenix didn't understand him or was unwilling to acknowledge him. Not only did it not respond, it was like a ball of hot flames. It flapped its wings, stood up, and suddenly pounced on Allen. Its sharp claws scratched at Allen's body, and its head leaned forward, its sharp beak pecking at Allen's neck.
This unexpected attack put Allen in a difficult position for a moment. He still hoped to gain the Phoenix's favor, so he didn't counterattack. He could only dodge the Phoenix's storm-like attacks.
"Cluck cluck cluck!" The female Phoenix let out a sharp and clear cry, warning Allen not to get close to it and not to enter its territory. It forced Allen to the corner of the room, then it spread out its feathers and returned to the center of the pentagram with its head held high like a victorious general.
The female Phoenix seemed to have snatched a piece of territory for itself. Whenever Allen's foot stepped into its half of the pentagram, the female Phoenix would suddenly turn its head, its round eyes staring vigilantly at Allen's every move.
Even if Allen was in peace with it, it would still turn its head from time to time, its eyes rolling around on Allen's body. If it wasn't for the confinement formation, the female Phoenix's sneaky little eyes would have been hilarious.
After a long time, it saw that Allen didn't move much, and it lay down on the ground. The two Phoenixes lived in peace in the confinement room for a while.
Outside the confinement room, Hermione asked Maggie to pass a cage of live rabbits to Luna. "Although it's said that these aren't its favorite, these should be enough."
Luna picked up the cage, and her slender fingers touched the soft fur of the rabbits through the gaps of the cage. Her faint eyebrows slightly furrowed, and she carried the cage into the confinement room.
As soon as the female Phoenix saw Luna come in, it spread its wings and let out a long cry. Its figure disappeared from the Star Array and was teleported to the place closest to Luna in the Star Array. Unable to teleport to Luna's side, the Phoenix flew into a rage out of humiliation. Its long golden beak rushed towards Luna who was outside the light curtain, but before it could touch Luna, it hit the light curtain of the confinement formation. With a crackling sound, sparks flew in all directions, and it was bounced back by the edge of the light curtain and fell to the ground.
Then the light shone brightly, and Luna deliberately shrank the range of the prison made of magic energy that was enveloped by the pentagonal array made of mithril. This also meant that the range of the confinement was reduced.
The female Phoenix got up and shook its feathers a few times. The pentagonal array shrunk smaller and smaller, and Allen and the female Phoenix had no choice but to get closer. The female Phoenix pushed Allen with its claws in dissatisfaction, and pecked Allen with its long beak. Allen had no choice but to move his body as far away from the female Phoenix as possible.
Luna put the cage in her hand on the ground and left the confinement room. She waved her hand, and the silver light emitted by the mithril engravings on the confinement formation became brighter and brighter. The confinement room's range of confinement expanded again, enveloping the rabbit cage.
Luna, who had already walked to the door, suddenly ran back while holding the corner of her skirt. She pointed at the rabbit cage on the ground, and pouted her lips at Allen and the female Phoenix who were inside. She made a "cuckoo cuckoo" sound like she was feeding a chicken, and then she turned around and walked out.
Allen, who was locked in the confinement formation, rolled his eyes helplessly at Luna's behavior. Not only did he not rush towards the rabbit cage like the female Phoenix did after Luna left, but he instead retreated a few steps and shrank into the corner from before.
The female Phoenix had already pressed one of its claws on the rabbit cage. It looked at Allen vigilantly, and then tore open a corner of the cage, and took out a frightened live rabbit from it.
The female Phoenix swallowed the rabbit in two to three mouthfuls, and then turned to look at the male Phoenix.
Allen, who felt uncomfortable being stared at, moved his body, and the Phoenix immediately spread its wings to protect the cage. It tilted its head, and its eyes were sharp. It let out a sharp and short cry to warn Allen. Seeing that the other party did not move, it was satisfied that it grabbed another gray rabbit and swallowed it into its stomach.
Allen saw the female Phoenix protecting its food, so he did not act blindly without thinking, and let the female Phoenix eat to its heart's content. The female Phoenix glanced back at Allen from time to time to see if Allen would make any strange movements. Then its mouth and claws were busy. After swallowing a rabbit, it used its claws to take another rabbit out of the cage, and fed itself until it was full.
Finally, the female Phoenix stopped eating. It released the wings that were protecting the cage, and began to use its beak to clean its feathers.
When it was done, the satisfied female Phoenix looked at the originally full cage, which still had more than half of the rabbits left. Then, it looked at Allen, who was still curled up in the corner. Then, it used its claws to take out another rabbit from the cage, and directly threw it at Allen.
Allen did not care about the white rabbit that got up and ran around after falling down, but was bounced back to the ground by the Confinement Array. Of course, he would not eat a rabbit raw, not to mention that he had already eaten a lot before coming in, and he was still burping slightly.
Seeing that Allen ignored its generosity, the female Phoenix cried out in dissatisfaction, but Allen did not move. The female Phoenix turned its head, and ignored Allen, and minded its own business, resting beside the rabbit cage.
Time passed little by little. Allen was swollen from being fed by Maggie, so he did not feel hungry at all. He quietly curled up in the corner. At first, the female Phoenix did not care, but gradually, it turned back to look at Allen more and more often.
Allen could feel that this gaze was definitely not the vigilant one from before. Allen raised his head and looked at the female Phoenix that would peck him whenever he got close. What was it trying to do? The female Phoenix's rolling eyes looked at Allen, and it paused. Then, it picked up the white rabbit on the ground and threw it at Allen. Allen did not pay attention to it, and was completely unmoved.
Then, something magical happened. The female Phoenix spread its wings and flew up, catching the unlucky white rabbit that got up and tried to run away again. But this time, it did not throw it to Allen. The female Phoenix caught the rabbit that was jumping around and kicking its legs. It flew in front of Allen, pressed the rabbit to the ground with its claws, and pushed it in Allen's direction. The bird shook its head, indicating that Allen should eat the rabbit.
Allen suddenly realized that some animals, especially those that had difficulty reproducing, would help each other when their own kind was in trouble to prevent the extinction of the species. The other party probably thought that it had contracted some kind of disease and temporarily lost the ability to hunt. There was a diving photographer in Muggle who was fed by a ferocious spotted seal for four whole days. As soon as he entered the water, the predator, who treated him as its own kind, would try to feed him.
But of course, Allen would not eat a live rabbit like this. The female Phoenix picked up the rabbit, shook it, and then let go. The rabbit fell to the ground, and just as it was about to run away, it was pressed down by the female Phoenix.
Seeing that Allen was still "dumbfounded," the female Phoenix's eyes showed that it was quite unhappy. It picked up the rabbit again, and then let go again. This went back and forth several times. It went from picking up a weak rabbit that was no longer running away to picking up a dead rabbit. The female Phoenix was a little anxious. It tilted its head and looked at Allen. It finally determined that the male Phoenix in front of it was a powerless hunter.
"It seems to be very worried that I will starve to death." Allen did not know whether to laugh or cry as he watched the female Phoenix pick up the rabbit and put it down. Then, he realized something. "Isn't a Phoenix reborn after it dies? Why is it so worried? Could it be that it can't be reborn unless it is attacked by external forces? Or is this just an animal's instinct? "
But the wizarding world knew too little about phoenixes. In Allen's time, other than Dumbledore's Fawkes, the only known domesticated Phoenix was the Phoenix mascot of the Mottola Macaw team in New Zealand's Quidditch. Other than that, the only people who had the opportunity to come into contact with wild Phoenixes were probably those magical zoologists, wand craftsmen, and the collectors who provided them with raw materials for wand cores.
The female Phoenix even thought that the male Phoenix was as picky as its feather showed, so it tore the rabbit in its claws from the chest. Its sharp claws tore off the rabbit's skin to show the male Phoenix how to eat the prey properly. It also pushed the half-eaten rabbit in front of Allen. Seeing that Allen still refused to eat it, it tried to bite the rabbit and feed it into Allen's mouth.
Allen had to turn his head away to refuse the feeding.
In the end, the female Phoenix in the bondage room began to grumble at Allen's face in frustration, as if to persuade him that he would die if he did not eat the rabbit.
Until that night, the female phoenix suddenly showed a ferocious posture. Allen thought that her patience with him had finally run out. When she was about to attack him, he found out that she was actually helping him drive away Luna who was behind him into the binding room.
