Even its pair of horns is worth half of that of an ordinary Welsh green dragon.
Therefore, this kind of fire dragon has always been favored by dragon hunters, and its number has naturally become less and less.
Kyle believes that a big part of the reason why the Fire Dragon Reserve was established in Romania is to make it easier to protect the fire dragons that live locally.
Unexpectedly, Willy Tom actually brought him such a big surprise. If it was a Romanian longhorned dragon, it would indeed be worth two hundred Galleons.
"The customer really has good taste." Willy Tom said proudly, "In order to get this thing, I invested a lot of Galleons in it, and I was almost caught by the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic."
Willy Tom kept talking about how difficult the journey was and how many fierce battles he had gone through to bring it back.
But Kyle could tell that there was a common feeling in every word he said.
Want to add money.
If it was a day ago, Kyle wouldn't mind giving him an extra ten or eight dollars, but now, it's really not possible.
"Snapped!"
A heavy bag was thrown onto the table.
"This is the final payment we agreed on before. Together with the previous deposit, it is a total of 200 Galleons. If you think it's too little, you can go to the Aurors to report me. I believe they will give you a considerable amount of clues."

Chapter 851 Enthusiastic Friends
"If you think it's too little, you can report me..."
Looking at the smiling Kyle, Willy Tom's back was instantly soaked with cold sweat.
Even though it was a warm August day and he was still in the room, he felt a biting cold.
This was his intuition warning him.
Some wizards always have some strange talents, such as being able to change their appearance at will, or being able to talk to magical animals. Willy Tom also has this talent. His ability to sense danger is much keener than that of ordinary wizards.
And this ability has saved his life many times.
Willy Tom did have the idea of revealing the news of Kyle's coming here to the Aurors. In this way, he could not only get rid of his suspicion but also get a substantial reward. Why not do it?
In fact, that's what he did.
Willy Tom had everything planned out. He would delay for a while on the price issue and then complete the transaction quickly when he felt the time was right. It didn't matter if he lost some money, as long as he could ensure that the person in front of him would not be caught by the Aurors until after he left his shop.
By then, the money from selling the dragon eggs would have been in his hands. Even if he was betrayed, as long as he denied it, and with the credit of having reported the incident, the Aurors would definitely not make things difficult for him.
Not only that, if this person is caught, he can get a full 100 Galleons reward. Even if he escapes by chance, he can still get 30 Galleons as a clue fee. It is a sure win, and it can even be said to be a win-win situation... Well, he wins twice.
As for integrity... what's the use of such a thing for a customer who will most likely never come back to Diagon Alley? It's better to maximize profits.
But now, looking at the smiling Kyle and feeling the constant chill on his back, Willy Tom's brain covered with Galleons finally moved slightly.
He finally remembered that the man in front of him was not a harmless little sheep, but a dangerous person who was able to escape successfully after killing five wizards.
Willy Tom thought he was not afraid of Holyken, but their strength was about the same. If this man could kill all the wizards including Holyken in a one-on-five situation, he could naturally kill him easily.
Willy Tom's heart began to beat violently, especially Kyle who was playing with the magic wand. He was so nervous that his calves felt weak.
His intuition told him that maybe the Aurors would come and catch this man, but he would definitely be killed.
How to do!
Willy Tom regretted it so much...it was all Kyle's fault. Kyle's gentle, harmless appearance and his lavish way of spending money made him subconsciously ignore the potential danger of the other party.
Fortunately, the other party has not yet realized his true purpose and only thought that he wanted to raise the price. Now there is still a chance to turn around.
Willy Tom took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.
"How can you complain that it's too little? Didn't we agree on this?" He put the dragon egg on the table decisively, "Now it's yours."
"Oh?"
Kyle raised an eyebrow, "The Auror shouldn't be here so soon, can you delay a little longer?"
"You, what are you talking about? I don't understand." Willy Tom's heart began to beat wildly. "What Aurors? Why are they coming to Diagon Alley... But you'd better be careful. The big man behind Horliken doesn't seem to want to let you go."
"Really?" Kyle took two steps forward, came to the painting that served as a safe, reached out and touched the frame, "Then can you tell me where the person in it went?"
“He might… um, go to another picture frame.” Perhaps because Kyle had his back to him, Willy Tom saw his opportunity, and he carefully reached his hand into his pocket.
"You left so many valuable things with you and went to visit someone?" Kyle said with some amusement.
He leaned over to take a look and saw a golden crown and a gem as big as an egg in the grid behind the portrait, both of which were very valuable.
There was a stranger like me in the room. In this case, how could the portrait that served as the door lock go somewhere else?
Even Neville wouldn't believe such a lame excuse.
Combined with what he said before, Kyle was certain that the portrait was going to tip off someone, and he estimated that the Aurors would surround this place soon.
Come to think of it, with five wizards dead, it is obvious that this turmoil cannot be resolved in a short period of time.
I just don't know how much reward the Ministry of Magic offered to make this boss take such a big risk to report me.
"Collapse!"
There was a loud shout from behind.
Kyle seemed to have no reaction and didn't even turn his head.
"Success!" Willy Tom was ecstatic.
He didn't expect things to go so smoothly. At this distance, there was no way the man would have time to fight back with his wand.
Maybe I was overthinking it. How could such a slow-reacting person kill Holliken and his men? It must have been done by other wizards, and then they put the blame on this rich wizard.
But so what, the Ministry of Magic has already determined that he is the culprit.
After he was knocked unconscious by the Stunning Spell, he could take all the money and goods he bought from him, and then hand him over to the Aurors who arrived in exchange for a generous reward, without wasting a single cent.
How much could such a wealthy wizard earn this time? One thousand Galleons? Two thousand Galleons... or even more.
Willy Tom's eyes were full of greed.
However, the next second, this greed was replaced by fear.
His stunning spell was less than an inch away from Kyle, but was blocked by a silver shield that suddenly appeared.
The shield was very small, only as big as a palm, but even with such a small shield, it blocked Willy Tom's inevitable attack. He didn't even see when the other party cast the spell.
But he couldn't care less now. The rebounded stun spell instantly returned to its original path. Willy Tom just wanted to dodge, but he found that his hand holding the wand was tightly pulled by something and he couldn't move at all.
It was a slender vine with a few round orange fruits on it.
Sour explosion pods.
A name popped into his mind, and then he knew nothing.
The stunning spell hit Willy Tom right on the head, and without even a sound, he fell to the ground with a thud.
Solved, that's it?
Kyle was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect the matter to be solved so easily. He thought that the wizard who could get the dragon eggs should be at least quite capable, but his plan ended just after it started?
The Bowtruckle, which had appeared out of nowhere, was also confused. It looked at Willy Tom lying on the ground, then at Kyle, as if asking what to do next.
“Forget it, let’s call the Sniff to help move the things.” Kyle thought for a moment and said, “Remember to search carefully.”
Bowtruckle nodded, jumped onto the unconscious Willy Tom, and expertly pulled the ring off his finger.
Three minutes later.
A group of wizards in black robes walked quickly along the streets of Diagon Alley.
"Aurors, you are here at last." Boss Tom stood at the door, as if he had seen a savior.
Yes, Boss Tom...but if you look closely, you will find that there is a hint of mockery in his eyes. It is the look of a man who likes to have fun, not that of a greedy shop owner.
Unfortunately, the Auror who came did not notice this.
"Stop talking nonsense. Where are the people?" the leading Auror asked coldly.
"Inside." Tom opened the door, and the Auror saw someone lying on the ground at a glance. From the clothes to the appearance, they were exactly the same as the information they had.
That's right, this is the wizard who spent money lavishly in Diagon Alley and killed Holykin and his group a month ago.
But how could such a dangerous person be lying on the ground? Shouldn't the boss be lying on the ground?
The leading Auror turned his head subconsciously.
"That's right." Tom said with lingering fear: "He wanted to attack me by surprise, but I found out."
"Do you have that ability?" The Auror raised his eyebrows, his tone full of suspicion and contempt.
If such a dangerous dark wizard could be dealt with so easily by a shop owner, then all their efforts over the past few days would be in vain.
"Of course I don't have that kind of strength." Tom smiled flatteringly, "But I'm lucky. After what happened to Hollican and the others a few days ago, I've been worried ever since, so I spent a lot of money to get a magic ring... This is it."
He held out his hand and showed a sapphire ring on it.
"It can automatically trigger an Shield Charm. The opponent thought his spell would definitely hit him, so he was not prepared and was knocked unconscious by the Stun Charm that bounced back... To be honest, I was scared to death just now.
"It's a pity for my magic ring. I spent a lot of money to get it, but it's been scrapped in the past few days."
As he said this, Boss Tom sighed.
"You should be thankful." The Auror glanced at him. "If it was you lying on the ground, you would probably be dead now."
After noticing that this was a magic item shop, he no longer doubted Tom's words.
The owners of stores like this, whether they are selling or for self-defense, all have some hidden treasures on them. Although an Iron Armor Curse Ring is rare, it is not impossible to get it if you are willing to spend money.
Moreover, the biggest advantage of this thing is that it is highly concealed and can release magic without spells or wands. If it is not checked in time, even an experienced Auror like him may be caught.
"Yes, you are right." Boss Tom nodded repeatedly.
As they were talking, other Aurors also brought people out, and after making sure that the target was still alive, they prepared to leave.
"Wait, wait a moment..." Boss Tom called him.
"What else?"
"That's it... Well, about the bounty. As you know, in order to catch this man, I lost a precious magic ring. Now I'm counting on the bounty to make my money back."
"We are only responsible for arresting people. You can go to the Ministry of Magic to ask for the reward later." The Auror was about to leave, but the annoying boss blocked him again.
