Chapter 682: A Good Girl
After a short period of play, a tidal wave of sleepiness followed.
Because of the day's Quidditch training, coupled with staying up late to watch Pokémon, Luna, who was exhausted of physical strength, quickly turned into a puddle of soft mud for Elena to fiddle with and bully, and Hannah didn't last long - the magic text was still a big burden for her.
Elena, on the other hand, was actually a little sleepy, and quickly fell asleep after simply enjoying the fruits of the victory.
Anyway, it's a long way to go, and the month-long summer stay by the sea has just begun......
The next day.
Early in the morning, Elena woke up early, as always.
Newt Scamander's house isn't complicated, at least outside of the Fantastic Beasts area, most of them still retain the normal structure of the house, so Elena doesn't have to worry about getting lost in the house alone.
Without disturbing the sweet dreams of the other two little Lori, Elena quietly washed up and walked down the stairs.
However, to her surprise, the living room was not empty at this time.
Newt Scamander sat at the edge of the dining table, with a pair of half-rimmed glasses perched on the bridge of his nose, writing and drawing on his desk, muttering a few words in a low voice from time to time, with a look of obvious exhaustion and seriousness on his face.
Hearing the movement on the stairs, Newt looked up and beckoned to her.
"Hmm, you're awake?" Miss Kaslana. ”
Newt took off his glasses and gently pinched the area between his eyes, "Regarding your proposals yesterday, I have thought about them carefully after returning to the room, and I think there are indeed a lot of possibilities, but there are still some doubts about some specific details. ”
Which ones were the proposals from yesterday?
Elena yawned in confusion and walked slowly.
On the dining table, scattered were seven or eight pieces of parchment, each covered in scribble, and next to the parchment were four or five manuscript books that seemed to be some years old, with more staccato phrases on them.
Judging by the bottle of ink on Newt's right hand, and the undried parchment in his hand.
If nothing else, at least a good part of the parchment on the table was probably Newt's freshly written content—Elena glanced at it casually, and could vaguely discern a handful of key phrases from the messy handwriting.
For example, the Fantastic Beasts Society, the Illustrated Books, the FantasticBeastBall, ......
In addition, Elena vaguely saw the construction sketch of the "Poké Ball" in the draft on the desktop, as well as a similar pattern of the first generation of the "Pokémon Illustrated Book" held by Ash in the Pokémon animation.
"This, these ......" Elena looked at Newt Scamander in surprise.
It's just a young animation from the non-magical world, and even if it does overlap with today's magical beasts in some ways, Newt Scamander still shows a degree of care far beyond her imagination.
It's been less than a night!
Moreover, judging from Newt's demeanor, it is obvious that this content in front of him is not all.
Flipping through the thick stack of parchment on the table, the girl looked up at the tiredness on the old wizard's face.
"Wait! You can't have stayed up all night writing this, right?"
"Well, it's not that exaggerated...... I slept for an hour or two a little. ”
Looking at the look of surprise in Elena's eyes, Newt waved his hand nonchalantly and explained with a smile.
"I'm older, I don't have as much sleepiness as you young people, especially when you still have some thoughts that you can't let go, you can't sleep at all, so I just get up and try to sort out what you said......"
"Mr. Scamander, aren't you too ...... like this?"
Elena frowned slightly, this crazy attitude made her a little worried.
"Don't worry, I'm a wizard, and it's okay to stay up late once in a while. ”
As if anticipating what the girl was about to say, Newt replied with great skill, motioned for the girl to sit down, and pushed a few parchments and manuscript booklets on the table, and pushed them to the girl's hand, and said with emotion.
"As for the [Fantastic Beasts Society] you mentioned yesterday, I understand a little bit now. Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, although it is an exhaustive compilation of information, has too many limitations in a written book—"
"At least when I was in school, people preferred to do magic rather than read books and memorize them. ”
Newt shrugged helplessly, and continued, "Using Transfiguration, Light Charm, and Echo Charm to make a 'magic book' is indeed a very interesting idea, if this book can be changed from a simple teaching book to a 'illustrated book', then it should be a great innovation in terms of both the popularization of magical beast knowledge and the practicality!"
Attaching magic to books is nothing new in the wizarding world.
For example, "The Book of Monsters of the Monsters", "The Invisible Book of Invisibility", "The Sonnet of the Sorcerer......
It's just that most of these books only cast one or two spells on them, and based on the effect of the "Pokémon Illustrated Book" that Elena showed in yesterday's anime, the new version of "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" is not so much a versatile magic book as a beautifully crafted magic prop.
What's more, the "Fantastic Beasts Illustrated Book" itself also has the function of collecting and recording magical beasts.
After decades of studying magical beasts, Newt has come to appreciate the limitations of the individual, and how difficult and slow it is for a few magical beast lovers to explore compared to the vastness of the world.
"If it's just a simple query function, I have a way to sort it in, after all, I've accumulated a lot of information about magical beasts over the years, but scanning, recording, and exchanging ...... Even with the bestiary rewards, I can't help it. ”
Newt paused slightly, then said with some hesitation.
There is no doubt that Elena, as the fairy queen, will most likely not be short of money.
And if you take into account the group of old wizards standing behind the girl, then as long as the difficulty of developing the first "testing machine" is solved, in terms of manpower, she should also be able to gather a considerable number of powerful wizards.
However, this does not mean that Elena will be willing to give her strength for free to do such a thing.
It was the young Dark Lord, the Elven Empress who was in charge of Gringotts, and after only such a short period of contact, Newt could feel Elena's ease of control in the field of economics and interests.
Glancing at the hesitant look on Newt's face, Elena thought for a moment, and quickly understood the old wizard's concerns.
This is normal, after all, the two are not so familiar now.
Wait a little longer to get along, and perhaps Newt Scamander will slowly understand that as a good child who grew up under the tutelage of two top black and white lords, most of the needs she hears are the result of her guidance.
"Don't worry, Hogwarts has the most professional research team. And the Gringotts Wizarding Bank is the eternal friend and backing of the wizarding world, and this kind of public welfare for the benefit of the world is worth everything. ”
Elena twitched her ears as she sorted out the manuscript in her hand, and said softly with a smile.
"In the next month, we can discuss the next steps...... The most important thing for you right now is to get a good rest and take your body seriously and responsibly. Mr. Scamander, until you're resting, I won't talk to you about the new episode of the anime or the magical beasts—"
At the same time, standing on the edge of the stairs, Tina Scamander, who had an angry face, nodded secretly.
This kid is really a good boy who is kind and gentle......
