11. Teenagers and Interviews (3)
In North BΓ©vick, they finally chose to take Muggle transport, that is, tourist boats by sea, and most of the boats from North Bevik to the Hebrides were tourist sightseeing boats, and very few were transportation route boats, because they needed to go around a large circle to get to the Hebrides, and they had to stop at several places in the map.
It takes seven hours, and if you choose a tourist, you can go directly to the Hebrides, which is three and a half hours at most, or four hours.
And on each sightseeing boat, in addition to standing on the deck and looking out over the sea level and the distant town of North Beverik, there are also separate rooms below by the window, which are like carriages on a train.
There are two rows of seats in separate compartments, where you can look out through the windows, after all, there are still very few things on the deck that can block out the scorching sun.
"It's exciting, isn't it, in four hours, we'll be in the Hebrides, and we'll find the shiny tides that live in the shallow waters of the Hebrides, and I'll put the best evidence on the contradiction, so that the sorcerers who question the shiny tides will shut up, and maybe the anti-sparkles will be popular."
Xenophilius seemed excited, and it was great to have Sherlock with him on this trip.
"Uh...... In fact, I've seen the latest issue of the contradiction, including the one in which you wrote about the sparkling of the tide, and I have to say that Mr. Xenophilius your writing is really good, and the narrative style is quite humorous, but I would like to ask if you ever saw a miniature dwarf among the mermaids living in the shallow waters of the Hebrides when you were younger? After all, the magazine you write is as real as if you had seen it with your own eyes. β
In this regard, Xenophilius said quite unconfidently: "This ...... It's a shame Mr. Sherlock, and I didn't see the tide shining with my own eyes, but Luna and I both believe in their existence! β
"Why!"
Xenophilius opened his mouth to explain, but then he pulled out a yellowed notebook from the bag he was carrying.
Although this notebook is yellowed, it is well kept by the other party, at least there is no fragmentation of the paper, but it is too old.
"This is the manuscript of the novel written by my wife, Luna's mother, who wanted to be a wizard who could get Merlin's badge, and who has a penchant for magical animals and charms, and her idol was Mr. Newt Scamander, the great wizard who wrote about where magical beasts are, and this manuscript is some undiscovered magical creatures that my wife wrote about her travels before she married me, And the source of the sparkle came from this book, and in turn it was my wife's record, which I just published in the opposite tune. β
Xenophilius then took out another notebook from his bag, which was a bit new compared to the previous one.
"This is the second note my wife took after she gave up her first idol and turned to you, Mr. Sherlock, and it's all about charms, and I remember that it was when you first created a charm, Mr. Sherlock, when Luna was only four years old, and we had been married for five years."
"Stop! Stop! Stop! Sherlock waved his hand, "Worship me?" What's going on? β
Xenophilius said calmly, "You need not be surprised Mr. Sherlock, my wife is indeed your admirer, to be precise...... She worships some wizards with extraordinary deeds, except for the evil ones, of course, so after worshipping you, she began to abandon the study of magical creatures and turn to the study of charms, when Luna was nine years old, Mr. Sherlock, you were ten years old, and the name of the Prince of Charms can be said to have resounded throughout Europe, but my wife also died because she dared to experiment with a spell and caused a huge accident. β
When she said this, both Luna and Xenophilius had sad expressions.
Sherlock rubbed his forehead, this is definitely not a butterfly effect, because even without him, in the end in the original book, Luna's mother died in an accident caused by studying spells.
"Can I read this notebook on the study of spells, which was written by your wife?"
"Of course...... It would be gratifying if she knew that her research would be viewed by you. β
Sherlock took the notebook in his hand and flipped through it, but the more he looked at it, the more frightened he became, and he had to say that if he studied it according to the magic science on it, it would eventually lead to an accident, which was an inevitable phenomenon.
"Luna! And Mr. Xenophilius, in any case, please go and don't experiment with magic spells according to what is written in this notebook! β
Xenophilius said, "Of course, Mr. Sherlock, I still know what my wife is, I don't have to risk my life by studying this Charms notebook, my wife is a mess in Charms, she might as well keep studying magical biology, maybe she will make a difference, and it won't cause an accident." β
"Uh......" Sherlock didn't know what to say because of Xenophilius's straightforwardness and complaining about his wife.
Eventually, Sherlock decided to return to the topic of magical creatures.
"So there are references to magical creatures on it, most of which are described in your notes on studying your wife?"
"Of course! And I also believe that my wife has discovered these amazing critters, for example, Luna and I have confirmed the existence of the Hook, and this time it will be Bright and Sparkling's turn. β
"Uh...... Well, I think I know what the original motivation was, and it's no wonder I've never seen a single interview or description of a celebrity wizard on Contradiction. β
Xenophilius was a little embarrassed, "Actually, famous wizards are very disdainful of singing and singing, and they are not even willing to publish their names in contrarian magazines, and I used to hope to find famous wizards to do an interview to boost the reputation of contrarians, but they all refused, so I was quite excited when I learned that Mr. Sherlock likes my singing and singing." β
Xenophilius whispered, "I would like to ask, if it were Mr. Sherlock, wouldn't you mind if I gave you an interview and published it on the Contrarian Tune!" β
Sherlock "......"
