Chapter 679: One Thing Descends One Thing
Grindelwald's revenge, while important, is not entirely without compromises.
At least in Elena's mind, it is obviously more important to gain the friendship of a Master Fantastic Beast than to help some cheap grandfather settle the grievances of an old rotten grain...... The past has long passed, and people must learn to let go and let go.
Moreover, the original Dark Lord only set the password to open the suitcase to "stew that sniff".
In addition, there was no agreement between Elena and Grindelwald, let alone a written agreement, and even a verbal promise did not exist, which means that the so-called revenge journey was just a beautiful misunderstanding.
If she really stupidly stewed that sniff, that would be the real big idiot.
As for how to deal with the expectations of Grindelwald's side, Elena had already thought of a countermeasure before coming - anyway, Sniff is about the same size as a bamboo rat and echidna, and it is a big deal to send a braised bamboo rat over later, and it will be considered a sniff.
The 5,000-year-old Chinese food culture has proven that snake meat can also be turned into dragon meat as long as the taste is heavy enough.
......
More than half an hour later, the 'signing ceremony' ended.
And Mrs. Scamander appeared at the door of the drawing-room just in time.
Although curious about Dumbledore's instructions, Tina Scamander, as a former Auror, knew the importance of restraining curiosity, and she and Newt suffered a lot in their younger years.
What's more, she doesn't think there's anything wrong with letting Newt and Elena be alone.
After so many years, Newt's character Tina is naturally quite reassuring, and although the girl named Elena Kaslana does not spend much time together, judging from the mouths of the other two little guys, and the closeness of magical animals (such as the little three-headed dog) towards Elena, this is also a good child with a kind heart.
As Newt once said, magical beasts tend to have a purer and more delicate perception than humans.
Therefore, wizards who are close to and loved by Magical Beasts and trusted and recognized are usually not bad people with complicated minds, and Newt's friends who also love Fantastic Beasts are the best example of this.
And Elena, apparently, is also the kind of little wizard who likes magical beasts very much.
In fact, since she had just learned that Elena was an orphan, Mrs. Scamander had been trying to secretly invite the girl to her house at Christmas...... It's a special Christmas gift for your husband, right?
After all, over the years, she had rarely seen Newt Scamander talk to someone for that long.
......
Newt didn't have the heart to pay attention to his wife's thoughts for the time being.
With or without intention, Newt Scamander, who was on the line with the third generation of the Dark Lord for the first time, signed dozens of contract documents of different types in one go, and almost officially said goodbye to the leisurely retirement time.
It's just that for Newt, this is not a sad and regretful thing.
Even if he knew that he might have signed the devil's contract in the legend, Newt couldn't care so much at this time.
Now in his nineties, if he doesn't use the Philosopher's Stone to prolong his life, he won't have much time left.
As a wizard who has devoted his life to the field of magical beasts, Newt is very fortunate to be able to witness and participate in the process of standardization and change of the entire magical beasts business while he is still alive.
Of course, this does not mean that ...... Newt didn't know he was being caught......
In the living room of Scamander's house.
Looking at his wife who appeared at the door, Newt couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
He was finally able to get away from the demagogic little devil and go back to his bedroom for a good night's sleep.
There was a lot of information to be received today, and Newt felt like he needed a good break to adjust.
Confronting the third generation of the Dark Lord for a long time is actually quite exhausting.
It was finally over, and seeing his wife reappear at the door of the living room gave Newt the feeling of his feet on the ground, rather than the unreal feeling of fluttering and dreaming that he had been before.
......
On the other side, looking at the two of them who were chatting quietly, Tina chuckled and clapped her hands in remind.
"It's time, you two...... It's time to sleep!The rest of the topic will continue tomorrow!"
"Yes, Mrs. Scamanderβ"
Elena turned her head and replied sweetly, looking behind Tina's empty back.
"Hey, what about Luna and Hannah? Are they already asleep?"
"They're still waiting for you in your room, saying they won't sleep until you go back. β
Tina Scamander shrugged helplessly, then thought of something, and turned her head to look at Newt, "Those kids said they were going to sleep with a three-headed dog, and they're used to it, so maybe you won't be able to study the big dog tonight." β
There was a hint of schadenfreude in Tina's tone, and she was clearly in a pretty good mood.
In the afternoon, Newt also applied to stay up all night tonight to study and observe the habits of the three-headed dog - this is almost a period of excitement that Newt will inevitably go through every time he meets a new magical animal.
However, judging from the current situation, this plan will probably not be able to continue smoothly.
After all, Newt Scamander, no matter how passionate he was about studying magical beasts, couldn't have squatted by the bedside of three little girls all night to observe some "sleeping three-headed dog", which undoubtedly made Tina quite happy.
With that, Tina beckoned and motioned for Elena to follow her.
"The bedding for your bed is all laid out, right next to the two children's beds...... I've heard them say that you prefer to sleep alone in a bed, and you wake up easily in the middle of the night, so I made a point of helping you get a little farther away. β
"Thank you! that couldn't be better...... Huh?"
Elena, who was still smiling when she heard the first half of the words, was suddenly stunned, and the smile on her face gradually froze.
Easy to wake up in the middle of the night?
Prefer to sleep in a bed alone?
Wait! When did she have these habits?
Why doesn't she know herself?! Which little wing is actually hard?!
Not noticing the expression on Elena's face, Tina Scamander had already turned and walked upstairs, leading Elena to the bedroom upstairs while patiently continuing to talk about her arrangements.
"On top of that, I've helped you cast soundproofing magic next to your bed. This way, when you're in bed, you won't be able to hear the conversations around you, which will also help you sleep more peacefully. β
"By the way, no chatting or playing after going to bed at night with the lights out, this is the rule of Scamander's house......"
