"Excuse me, what did you just say about the eight-eyed giant spider?"

After time seemed to stand still for two or three seconds, Grindelwald leaned forward slightly, and asked awkwardly but politely.

A rather familiar feeling came back to the old wizard's mind, and it was not the first time that this train of thought had been interrupted since he had begun to try to teach Elena.

"Can you eat it?" replied the girl crisply, her eyes full of thirst for knowledge.

The more Fantastic Beasts Elena learns about through Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, the more questions she accumulates, but according to the grand unification theory of the universe, the properties of most matter can be summarized in the above three sentences.

“......”

Facing Elena's eyes that seemed to be shining, Grindelwald's expression froze on his face, and he opened his mouth helplessly, not knowing what to say for a moment - the scene in front of him was a little different from the picture he had envisioned before, and even Newt Scamander couldn't answer these questions, right?

After another five or six seconds of silence, Grindelwald took a deep breath, tried to squeeze out a smile, and asked calmly, "I remember you said before that you like Fantastic Beasts......?

"That's right. It's not just magical beasts, I like animals as long as it's animals. ”

Elena nodded quickly, and added with extra seriousness, "The kind that you have to have for all meals." ”

“......”

After receiving Elena's affirmative reply again, and repeatedly confirming that the half-breed little Meiwa did not mean to joke, the shocked look on Grindelwald's face slowly faded, and his fingers thoughtfully tapped "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" spread out on Elena's table, and a sudden realization gradually appeared in his eyes—and, a faint sense of pleasure.

If Grindelwald had guessed correctly, even Dumbledore wouldn't have realized that Elena Caslana and Newt Scamander were two diametrically opposed people, even though they seemed to share the same interests.

That said, with the right guidance and a little help, Grindelwald can find a way to add some extra fun to the lives of his old friends, even in the castle of Neumengard, Austria.

Thinking of this, the corners of Grindelwald's mouth curled, he cleared his throat, and replied very seriously.

"I think I can eat it...... As for the taste, and how to cook it, this aspect is still a relatively empty area in the wizarding world for the time being, and you may need to figure it out on your own. ”

Grindelwald took a deep look at the white-haired ballboy with a cute appearance, in a sense, the little girl in front of him may be more similar to Grindelwald himself in some ways.

It's just that there is still a little need to observe how much influence this mixed-race little girl can have, as well as what she desires, what she lacks, and what kind of ideas she has.

"Huh, haven't you or Mr. Newt Scamander studied it?"

Elena held her face in her hands with a palpable look of disappointment, she had thought that this part of the information was just set to be invisible.

"After all, as the most dangerous magical creature, the Eight-Eyed Giant Spider is extremely dangerous even for wizards. I don't think many people will have an appetite just by hearing the word spider. ”

Grindelwald shrugged, his gaze casually locked on Elena's face.

This is actually where his confusion lies, as far as he knows, except for a small number of barbaric African wizard groups who still retain the habit of eating insects, most civilized societies do not have spiders in their recipes.

"The name is just a symbol given by the first discoverer, and it doesn't have much of an impact. ”

Elena waved her hand disapprovingly and replied without hesitation.

"Just like termites should actually be called white cockroaches, if you think the eight-eyed giant spider is not good, you can also call it a terrestrial eight-eyed long-haired crab, or a giant soft-shell crab in the jungle. ”

"Huh?"

The corners of Grindelwald's mouth twitched, and it was clear that it was not the first time that Elena had done this, and not to mention, it seemed to sound a little ...... Delicious?

"Even though the name has changed, the danger of the eight-eyed giant spider has not diminished at all, you know, all magical creatures that have been defined by the International Ministry of Magic as the highest level of danger must be a species that has a precedent for killing wizards. ”

Grindelwald shook his head, quickly banishing the strange thoughts from his mind, he was just guiding Elena, not really trying to taste the so-called spider.

Hearing the old wizard's words, Elena smiled proudly, took out her wand and poked at the eight-eyed giant spider illustration in the book, without the slightest fear or fear on her face.

"We're human wizards, isn't it the most basic instinct that has flowed in our veins since ancient times to hunt dangerous creatures with spells and tools?"

As long as sufficient medicinal value and edible value can be confirmed, the degree of danger is not so important.

After all, even the most ferocious fire dragon species [Hungarian Tree Bee] was forced to the brink of extinction by poachers because of its high-value dragon blood and nerve fibers, and [Chinese Fireball] has become the only remaining fire dragon species in the East.

Glancing at Grindelwald, who had just finished drinking the spicy soup, Elena smiled evilly, subconsciously licked her lips, and added, "Not to mention, it stands to reason that spider meat is quite delicious." ”

"Wait, you haven't really eaten spiders, have you?" Grindelwald turned a little blue as he noticed that the conversation seemed to be starting to move in a strange direction again.

"I haven't really eaten the eight-eyed giant spider, but I've tasted ordinary spiders. Elena pressed her index finger to her lips, looked up at the ceiling, recalled the fried spiders she had eaten in her previous life, swallowed her saliva and said:

"Spiders are generally fried in oil, the taste is more like between chicken and cod, the abdomen, head, and legs are rich in high-protein tender white meat, after removing the venom glands and shells, wrapped in monosodium glutamate, sugar, salt, minced garlic, put in oil to crispy, the taste inside and outside is distinct, the appearance is crispy......"

"Ahem, ahem, that's it!"

Grindelwald put his right fist to his mouth and let out a heavy cough that interrupted Elena's description - hell, he had just had breakfast, and he was hungry to listen to roast spiders.

"I can't help you with how to cook magical beasts and how they taste, so you'll have to figure it out later. But what about ......"

Grindelwald paused, glanced at the white-haired balls in front of him who kept swallowing saliva, and his face was a little hesitant.

"But?" Elena blinked, tilting her head to look at Grindelwald who was about to speak, not understanding what the old man was trying to say.

No matter, anyway, even if this girl goes out to harm the whole world in the future, it is better than staying in the castle and tossing him now.

Grindelwald gritted his teeth, his heart was horizontal, he raised his fingers, and said with a serious face.

"However, I can tell you about most of the Fantastic Beasts' habits, weaknesses, and ways to deal with them. And, if you can make sure you don't learn new spells for a few days, I can even find a way to get Albus to take you to Newt Scamander for further study on the next vacation - this is a small request, and Albus will not refuse me. ”

"Huh...... Okay! No problem!

Hearing Grindelwald's words, Elena was stunned for a moment, then came back to her senses and nodded quickly in ecstasy.

Sure enough, it was effective for her to get up early in the morning to make spicy soup for the first generation of the Black Lord's grandfather, and the food was indeed the most powerful existence to bring in the relationship between people!
