Chapter 656: Old Radishes' Thousand Layer Routine
Seeing Dumbledore's figure turn into a point of light and dissipate into the air, the annoyance in Newt's heart just rose, and he subconsciously looked around at the familiar arrangement, and suddenly remembered an extremely important question.
In the past so many years, there have indeed been more than one scene where Dumbledore has left the problem and disappeared directly, so at the first time, Newt also directly had the illusion that it was similar to before - he was cheated by Dumbledore again, and Dumbledore, who had killed a thousand knives, ran away again, so that his emotions were a little out of control.
However, when this happened in this small space that he had carefully created, the whole thing became a little strange.
As a wizard who is still at the top level today, it is the most basic operation to block the illusion shift, portkey and other long-distance transmission magic protection under his residence, and it is impossible for Dumbledore to directly cast the illusion to leave.
And during the conversation between the two, Newt did not notice the obvious spatial transfer fluctuations.
Combined with the magic that Dumbledore had just demonstrated, the answer was self-evident.
Newt Scamander looked around the room carefully, and finally his gaze rested on the side of the parlor table at the dessert table, and his face became a little more beautiful, and he said angrily in that direction:
"Professor Dumbledore, you're too bored to make such childish jokes, aren't you?"
"I thought what you said was true, and I was thinking about whether to travel abroad directly tomorrow, and simply lend the whole house to the terrible 'Demon King Reserve' little girl that I created in your mouth. β
Regardless of age, in Newt's view, the impact of the environment on everyone is undeniable.
Obviously, after spending a lot of time with children in Hogwarts Castle, even Albus Dumbledore, who seems to be old-fashioned, is obviously much more lively than other old wizards of his age, so he will make so many strange jokes.
Throughout the time, Dumbledore never left the living room at all.
If Newt guessed correctly, the replacement process between the old wizard's body and the illusion should have happened simultaneously when Dumbledore drew his wand and cast that profound space isolation spell.
And if you continue to extend the reasoning along this point, Dumbledore's previous intimidation may also be a joke.
That's right! Absolutely! It's all a very nasty and boring joke!
Grindelwald had long been imprisoned in Newmondgard Castle, and he didn't even have children, so how could he have a granddaughter!
As Newt burst his vision, Dumbledore's figure gradually emerged from the edge of the sofa, and the old wizard blinked, quickly swallowed the small biscuit in his mouth, looked at Newt, who had a better face, and said happily.
"Tina's skills are really good, I just wanted to lighten up a little bit. β
Dumbledore paused slightly, and without hesitation, he punctured Newt's unformed illusions and said in a deep voice.
"But not a single thing I just said was a joke. If you've been following the news that happened in Austria in the past few months, you've probably heard about the reappearance of Grindelwald's mark - the story is more complicated, but the story ends with Grindelwald reconvening the Saints after nearly fifty years to protect Elena. β
With that, Dumbledore stood up and patted Newt's shoulder, which looked like a sculpture.
"When it comes to this child's affairs, I think about it, and only you can trust it. β
"I'm sorry to have you been in such a difficult situation after so many years of retirement. Actually, I don't have much to do. After all, after more than a year of getting along, I found out that you may be one of the few wizards in the wizarding world that Elena is interested in and likes from the bottom of her heart, so if it were you, you might be able to ......"
"I'm interested, you're kidding, right?"
The corners of Newt's mouth twitched, and he looked at Dumbledore suspiciously.
"To be honest, I don't think I'm much special than others except for magical beasts, so there must be some misunderstanding in this matter, and I can help recommend a lot of famous wizards......"
"There's no one to replace you, Newt. That's it - the kid was particularly interested in Fantastic Beasts. β
Dumbledore sighed, his gaze inadvertently averting Newt's eyes, and said in a complicated tone.
"Of course, it's a ...... Hmm, it's more unique like ......."
"What's it called, more unique like?!"
Newt Scamander looked at Dumbledore with a twinkling gaze in front of him, and the foreboding in his heart became clearer.
Since the arrival of Dumbledore's letter, the ominousness that had been vaguely hovering in the fog seems to have begun to gradually break through the fog, and this ominous final answer lies under Dumbledore's seemingly understated description.
"Well, you know, that kid is a cook......"
Dumbledore smiled slightly awkwardly and spread his hands a little unnaturally.
Therefore, the child's love and research for animals usually involves how to eat them...... The colony of eight-eyed spiders in the Forbidden Forest of Hogwarts has been completely reduced to what she calls the [fluffy soft-shell crab] hunting ground. β
"Oh, but she's also very close to the unicorns in the Forbidden Forest, and earlier this semester she fought the Death Eaters who infiltrated Hogwarts to protect the pure and beautiful creatures - and on the other hand, my Fawkes is often fed by her now, and the phoenix is at peace with the half-breed meek, which also says something. β
Looking at Newt Scamander's instantly frightened eyes, Dumbledore hurriedly remedied a few words.
As a White Lord who still has a conscience and a bottom line, Albus Dumbledore still can't do the kind of thing that sees Newt fall directly into Elena's hands without knowing anything, although the outcome of the whole thing will not change much, but at least Dumbledore did not deliberately hide this information about Elena.
After another pause, Dumbledore considered his words and spoke slowly.
"As I said, this child is now the Fairy Empress and the heir to the Saints, and if she really intends to use the Golden Galleon or force to satisfy her curiosity and appetite - the future of the Fantastic Beasts world may be a little dire. β
"It seems to me that in the wizarding world today, it is very important to be able to properly teach that child how to deal with magical creatures, and to understand that the existence of those wonderful creatures is more important than following the most basic laws of nature...... Maybe you're the only one who can do it, yes, it's just you. β
"But I also know that this is a bit excessive, considering so much trouble, I would have directly rejected it. β
Dumbledore glanced at Newt, who had a tangled expression on his face, and whispered with a sincere expression.
So if you insist on refusing, I can understand that. When Tina is back in the living room with the children, if you still find it very difficult, I'll take the child away and let her 'grandpa' keep an eye on her for a monthβrest assured, I promise she'll never do any harm to the little creatures in your room. β
"And what about those out there, won't there be any more names like [fluffy soft-shell crab]?"
After thinking the whole thing through, Newt smiled dejectedly and asked weakly.
"Dumbledore, you know I can't hide here forever and not look up at the ...... Anyway, I'll try if she's really that interested in magical creatures...... I try to ...... as much as I can."
"Oh, Newt, I knew you would always be trustworthy. β
The embarrassment on Dumbledore's face was instantly swept away, and he patted Newt on the shoulder with a warm smile.
"Well, I really need to go this time, or I'm probably going to miss the Wizengamot meeting. β
As he spoke, Dumbledore got up to take his leave, pushed open the door, and walked briskly to the grass outside the cabin.
This time, Newt Scamander didn't reach out to stop him, but stood in the living room in a daze, watching Dumbledore disappear into this small magical space independent of the outside world in the flickering of the magical pillar of light.
At the same time, on the side of the corridor in the living room, there was the sound of Tina and several girls talking happily.
Newt Scamander sighed silently.
The revenge, which was decades late, has finally come......
