Chapter 61: There is a surprise
Half an hour later, the family of three returned to the living room.
As the head of the family, Representative Nick said: "Sorry, we can't go. ”
"Carl is still a kid, and we can't involve him in something so dangerous. ”
Jacob said hurriedly, "But—"
Nick raised his hand to interrupt him, "I'm sorry, I beg you to forgive us for not being able to do anything. ”
As if prepared, Edward and Alice looked at each other.
He reached into his pocket and took out a blank piece of parchment and handed it over.
"There was one person who gave us this. ”
"He said that as long as he gives it to you, it will make you feel good. ”
Karl didn't take the parchment right away, but asked quietly, "What does that man look like?"
Edward recalled: "White hair, as if it hadn't been taken care of in a long time, a little old, oh yes, one of his eyes changes color when he speaks!"
Well, it was Grindelwald who didn't run.
And listening to this description, this time it's still the real thing.
It seems that the old man really escaped from Newmengard this time?
Taking the paper from Edward's hand, Carl looked at it on both sides, and it was indeed blank, not a word.
After thinking about it, he got up from the couch, put the parchment far away, and raised his wand at it.
There is no way, the lessons of the past cannot be prevented.
God knows what Grindelwald was thinking this time.
In the midst of everyone's curious gaze, he stood in the distance, pointed at the parchment with his wand, and silently recited in his heart, "Appear in a hurry".
However......
No change?
When Carl looked closer, the paper was still blank.
After thinking about it for a moment, Carl changed the spell, and this time, he just pronounced it.
"I, Carl Cooper, command you to reveal the hidden message. ”
Now, there are words on the paper.
When I walked over and looked, there was only one sentence on it:
Go to the wedding kid, there are surprises.
Hehe.
Still surprised?
The scare is pretty much the same.
Carl doesn't think that Grindelwald's "surprise" is the same as what normal people understand.
But, anyway, it looks like he has to go.
No way, father's love is like a mountain.
......
"Honey, can't you not go?"
Louise couldn't be as aggressive as she was with her husband.
She looked at Carl pitifully, the exact opposite of what she had done to Nick.
However, Carl looked at him pitifully as much, and suddenly she couldn't do anything.
"Please, Louise. Carl said, with a sparkling light in his eyes.
Louise was immediately overwhelmed.
"I just said I wouldn't go. ”
She muttered quietly, but relented.
But immediately, she became tough again: "But you have to agree, let me go with your father! They invited our family! Besides, I don't feel at ease if you go so far alone!"
It's really unsettling to take the two of you with you, Carl thought helplessly.
Sighing, he said, "Louise, you know it's only going to be more dangerous. ”
Although he was invited to the wedding, it is precisely because of this that it is estimated that all the people present are vampires.
Even if the vampires Carlisle hired to help were so-called "vegetarians" like him, they themselves were no less hungry for human blood than ordinary vampires.
Moreover, because it sucks very little human blood, blood is much more attractive to them than ordinary vampires.
What's more, it is difficult to guarantee that there are some "meat and vegetarian taboos" among these people.
If he can come and go by himself with apparition shifting, but with Nick and Louise, it's a bit overwhelming.
He had never tried to show up with someone else's retinue.
If you really encounter a crisis and need to run away, but the result is split, then the fun will be great.
He couldn't let the two of them follow him on an adventure.
"But—"
"Alright, dear. Nick shook his wife's hand, "Carl is not too small, he should be given some freedom." ”
Then he turned his gaze to Karl, "Son, your mother is mainly afraid that you will be in danger. ”
Carl nodded, of course he knew Louise was worried about him.
In this life, it is really his greatest luck to have such a pair of parents.
It's just that I don't know what happened to his parents in his previous life.
Thinking of this, Carl couldn't help but feel a little gloomy.
It took him two years to accept the reality of the time travel, and it took another few years to dilute the bond with his previous life in his heart.
But how can that feeling be wiped out?
Nick was still comforting his wife.
"My dear, Carl has been living alone at Hogwarts for a year and a half, and you've seen his magic many times, when have you ever seen him suffer at the hands of others?"
"But he's still so young. Louise said weakly, her attitude visibly loosening.
Seeing this, Nick took Louise in his arms and whispered in her ear, "Carl has been different since he was a child, you have to give him some space to show his talents, after all, you can't always be by his side, can you?"
With that, he winked at Carl cryptically.
Perhaps it was Nick's words that worked, and Louise finally didn't refute it again.
He lowered his head and thought for a while, then raised his head and said to Carl: "Promise Mom, if you are in danger, you must run away as soon as possible, and you can't be reckless, you know?"
Carl nodded solemnly.
"Don't worry. ”
......
When the Carl family of three returned to the living room, the four Edwards were staring at them intently.
"How's it going, Carl?" asked Jacob.
Carl laughed, "It's an honor to be at your wedding. ”
The four of them immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"Still. Carl added.
The four of them immediately became nervous again.
"I'm the only one to go, Nick and Louise. ”
At this moment, the four of them completely relaxed.
Their original target was just Carl, and Nick and Louise were just incidental out of politeness, and it didn't matter if they went or not.
Previously, they had been afraid that Carl would refuse.
That piece of parchment was already their only hole card, and to be honest, they didn't expect that just one piece of paper would change Carl's attitude so much.
"When are you leaving?" asked Carl.
Edward looked at Alice, who nodded at him.
"It's better to leave now, the Volturi family could take action at any time, we don't have much time!" she said.
So, a family of three, together with four Edward Jacobs, drove to the airport in the night light.
Personally sending him on the plane is Louise's bottom line.
