For the next three weeks, Newt suddenly became the busiest person in the family.

As long as he had time, he would take his top hat and cash and go to various cities in Russia and Ukraine to visit his old friends, and many times it would be late at night when the old wizard would come out of the fireplace with a tired face.

There is no pleasant reunion of old friends.

For the most part, Newt's journey is just one sad journey after another.

In the First Wizarding War, the wizarding world of the former Soviet Union was arguably the most devastated place for magical civilization, and as the last position to defend against Gellert Grindelwald's attack, the Kordos Dorez School of Witchcraft and Wizardry was almost razed to the ground.

Tens of thousands of wizards have died in more than two decades of war, and there is a serious gap in the magical inheritance.

Rising from the ashes and regaining its former glory is not an easy task.

Especially when this process is often interspersed with natural and man-made disasters, it is even more difficult.

If the decades-long "Dark Shadow" of Voldemort brought the British wizarding world to a standstill for nearly two decades, then the loud bang at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant six years ago nearly extinguished the last spark of the wizarding world in the former Soviet Union.

Maybe the death toll wasn't that much, but almost all the old wizards who had lived through the wizarding wars had fallen on that land.

As the cause of death recorded on Ivanovich's tombstone, the high-risk curse, or nuclear radiation.

The wizarding world defines this condition as the "Wizard's Fall", and the radiation area is labeled as the "Wizard's Exclusion Zone".

Wizards are no stronger than Muggles in the face of intense radiation - especially when cancer cells appear, and conventional healing magic will not only not alleviate the disease, but will further accelerate the wizard's death.

In fact, even without the use of healing magic, the magic in the wizard's body will "heal" similarly spontaneously.

The high intensity of radiation is far more harmful to wizards than Muggles, a force that wizards cannot understand, and it is also the most disturbing force for Ministry officials - Gellert Grindelwald's influence still lingers on the continent, and many wizards still believe that it was a weapon specially developed by Muggles to deal with wizards.

Therefore, immediately after the Chernobyl accident, the International Magical Association issued a recommendation for the evacuation of the entire territory.

The vast majority of young wizards chose to leave the territory of the former Soviet Union, or put layers of magical and physical barriers around their homes to ensure that they would not be implicated in the stupidity of the Muggles.

Only a handful of stubborn old fellows, with special beliefs, have chosen to violate the Ministry's ban.

Of course, they were all tried by the Wizengamot International Wizarding Court in the end – even though they had erased the memories of most of their fellow Soviet soldiers, they were still convicted of blatant "violations of the law of secrecy".

Considering that most of these "stupid" wizards have been tainted with the "Death of the Wizard".

Coupled with the fact that most of these old wizards were "war heroes" who had participated in the First Wizarding War and protected the International Confederation of Wizards Secrecy Law from being destroyed by Gellert Grindelwald, the wizarding community did not choose to send them to the death chamber or a prison like Azkaban for treatment, nor did they carry out large-scale publicity about the trial.

In this process, all trials and sentences are held in secret.

As a result, with the exception of a very small number of wizards, the vast majority of people in the wizarding world have received little more information than "Pripyat City has become a forbidden area for wizards" and "Several Grindelwald believers have been arrested for violating the law of secrecy"......

Ivanovich is nothing more than one of them.

The Ministry of Magic Aurors everywhere confiscated the wands of the recalcitrant old ones, put them under house arrest in their homes, and left them to fend for themselves—their exploits were known, but their names were all listed on the wizarding world's first-class danger list, alongside Gellert Grindelwald and others.

On the other hand, most of the wizards who are willing to stay in this land are also the flame bearers who support the inheritance of magical civilization in Russia, Ukraine and other places.

Their death and imprisonment can be a deadly blow to the magical civilization in this area.

Even in the eyes of many wizards who know the inside story, the actions of Ivanovich and others are still sacrificing the interests of wizards to help Muggles, especially those Muggles who are trying to play with the dangerous power of "Wizard's Death".

However......

“...... Ivanovich has betrayed the wizarding world! I will never forgive him!"

"My grandfather wasn't a bad guy! he's not the kind of guy you call him!"

In the past few weeks, Newt Scamander's ears would occasionally come to his ears with the middle-aged wizard's indignant voice, and the little girl's immature and stubborn rebuttal, which made him look much more haggard than before.

Worse still, this situation is just a microcosm of more than 200 families of "criminals......

However, no matter how much Tina asked, Newt didn't say why.

To be more precise, as soon as Tina began to ask what had happened in the past few days, Newt's mind began to keep coming up with the cold tombstones. It worked, though it made him look more dazed, as Tina Scamander began to worry about her husband's Alzheimer's disease.

Newt Scamander knew exactly what he was up against, and what that answer meant.

It's not a trivial problem to take down one or two evil wizards, or a matter that can be solved by going to the Ministry of Magic to theorize - Elena's approach may be gentler than Grindelwald's, but the resistance is essentially the same.

If the Ministry of Magic has long been like a wall between the non-magical world and the magical world, then Elena and Grindelwald are like people on opposite sides of the wall, with completely different goals and philosophies ultimately pointing to the same result, breaking down the wall that exists between the two worlds, except that one is domination and the other is integration.

As time passed, Newt's heart became more and more shaken and suffered......

On the one hand, he feared that he would become an accomplice to the next Dark Lord, and on the other hand, he feared that stories like Ivanovich would repeat themselves, and in fact, given the current state of the non-magical world, people's lives were reaching their limits.

"One more, another one...... This world shouldn't be so hard......"

Newt seemed to be in some kind of trance, wandering the land for messages from his old friends, hoping to find a piece or two of evidence against Elena, or a glimmer of hope that he didn't know about.

Finally, the day finally came.

It was during the day that Newt's visit to friends finally came to an end.

It's the same journey that hasn't seen each other, but it's a little different from before.

The Lotnikovs, who had previously lived on the outskirts of Ukraine's capital, Kyiv, were not affected by the disaster six years ago, but instead lived a better life than before.

According to Newt Scamander, the Lotnikovs moved out of Ukraine six years ago.

The last recorded appearance of Lotnikov in the wizarding world was in the horrific "Illegal Rally in Pripyat", which involved hundreds of well-known wizards...... However, he was acting as a whistleblower and a key witness.

In short, after that, the Lotnikovs completely disappeared from the wizarding world of the former Soviet Union.

It is said that someone had seen Lotnikov in the Louisiana countryside in the United States, but it seems that the family changed their name at the same time as they moved, so the person is not sure if it is the Lotnikovs.

But in any case, the Lotnikovs should be doing reasonably well by now.

After all, they had only received a handsome prize from the International Council of Wizards a few years earlier, and it was said that there was even a Merlin Order of Merlin of the Second Class - a reward for Lotnikov for guarding the International Federation of Wizards' Secrecy Act.

"Oh, Sir Merlin's Order of Merlin, Second Class......"

Newt stood in the middle of his study and glanced at his Sir Merlin's Order of Merlin, a medal awarded by the wizarding world for his "contributions to the study of magical beasts and the study of magical animals" on the bookshelf.

For some reason, for the first time in his life, he felt that this medal looked a little bleak.

And next to this glittering medal, there are now a bunch of medals that look a little rough and worn.

Most of them are Patriotic War medals with sickles and hammers, mostly from Ivanov and his comrades-in-arms, and a small part of the Chernobyl Rescue Medal with a drop of blood and three curves, and many more from the descendants of old wizards who have died.

Newt Scamander lifted his hand, his index finger sliding over the medals, a hint of hesitation flashing in his eyes.

Is it true that the non-magical world and the magical world cannot coexist in the sun?

If you want to gain something, do you have to have to make sacrifices?

Or is it ......

"Newt, what are you doing upstairs?"

Just then, Tina Scamander's roar could be heard from the downstairs living room.

"The children are waiting for you at the table! If you don't come down again, you won't eat at home for the next week, just go to Russia and Ukraine to find your old friends for dinner!"

Today was also the last weekend Elena and the others spent at Newt Scamander's house.

Tomorrow is the last day of August, and after the girls have gone to the English Quidditch National Team to say goodbye, they will start to come back to pack their bags, then go back to their respective homes to hug their parents, and then it's time to board the train to Hogwarts.

Tina Scamander has prepared a rather sumptuous dinner for this purpose, and there are as many as four or five kinds of fish alone.

In fact, as early as a few days ago, Tina had already begun to gather and collect the ingredients that Elena, Luna, Hannah and others wanted to eat, whether it was the pickling work in advance, or the sauce and fermentation of the seasoning.

Because of this, Newt has been able to fool around these days without being locked in bed by Tina's serial questioning.

But judging by his wife's increasingly congenial expression these days, it is clear that Tina's patience is on the verge of the limit, and when the children are gone, perhaps they will start to clean him up in turn—a point that Newt has a lot of experience in.

As the former Auror, Tina Scamander has a deep magical attainment in torture.

So if you can, it's best to take care of things while the kids are around.

Otherwise......

"I'll come down now, don't worry, don't worry......"

Newt shuddered at the thought of what might happen next, quickly closed the medal box, and walked briskly downstairs.

On the desk behind him, in the address book of Newt Scamander's old friends in the wizarding world over the years, Lotnikov's name and address were slowly fading, fading into the parchment.

............

The dinner on the last night was extraordinarily rich, with almost ten dishes in total.

Considering that she will leave tomorrow, it is rare that Elena has not expressed her opinion on the slightly extravagant and wasteful preparation, anyway, there is no shortage of small animals in the Scamander family, and there is really no way to have a small lo-mei that can become bigger at any time.

Elena, on the other hand, wanted to use this last time to demonstrate some of Mrs. Scamander's daily dishes.

So by the time Newt got to the kitchen, the evening's cooking wasn't over.

"The honey bread is baked, and then today's side dish is sautéed carrots, crab cakes, spicy vegetable chips, kefirt cheese...... Well, let me think about it, there's still a pan-fried portobello mushroom missing, so that's pretty much it."

With an apron, Elena counted the dishes that had already been cooked, while mentally counting the remaining ingredients.

Different from the common shiitake mushrooms in China, the British culinary world prefers Portobello in the choice of edible mushrooms, which are larger, flatter and more juicy, but due to the limited times, the development of Portobello mushrooms in the unawakened British culinary world is still quite rudimentary, often limited to the simplest frying.

"When it comes to preparing side dishes, thinly sliced portobello mushrooms are undoubtedly the best choice to complement a meat entrée......"

With the girl's voice, Tina Scamander's wand flicked slightly, directing the kitchen knife to cut the mushrooms into perfect half-arc slices, and after a month of getting along, she became quite proficient in this delicate operation.

In the pan, two tablespoons of cream and olive oil have melted under medium high heat, giving off a hint of tempting creamy aroma, and the fresh sliced mushrooms jump into the pan one by one under the command of magic, stir-fry in the cream and olive oil for a few minutes, and most of the cream and olive oil are sucked into the thick mushrooms.

"So, I'll leave the rest of the process to you?"

Elena glanced at the slightly smaller slices of mushrooms, turned down the heat, and used a spatula to make a small space in the middle of the pan, and then added the prepared cream, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and thyme to it, and waited for them to mix and stir together, and turned her head to look at Mrs. Scamander standing beside her.

In fact, for the rest of the month, Elena doesn't choose to do it all alone.

As a food lover, she can understand the pain of having tasted the delicious dishes cooked by others, especially after witnessing the cooking process, only to find that she can't cook the same food as the gourd painted.

After all, after they left, the kitchen was still in the domain of Ms. Tina Scamander.

"Don't worry, dear...... I'll take care of it here. ”

Tina Scamander glanced at her husband as he was coming down the stairs, motioning for him not to lean over and make trouble for the time being, then turned her head and smiled at Elena and nodded, confidently replying.

They've eaten portobello mushrooms several times these days, and Tina is no stranger to it.

According to her previous experience, at this time, she only needs to continue to stir-fry for about ten minutes, and a lot of fragrant mushroom juice will be released from the Portobello mushrooms, and then sprinkle two spoonfuls of flour, patiently stir-fry little by little to collect the juice, and when she can't see obvious flour lumps, she is almost half done.

“...... Don't forget to add the beef stock and Worcestershire sauce this time!"

Elena shrugged her shoulders and added with a smile.

After more than a month of getting along, the relationship between the girls and Tina Scamander had become extremely familiar, and Elena was well aware of the degree of confusion in the cooking of this seemingly capable Mrs. Scamander.

Mixing salt and sugar is just the most common case.

Mrs. Scamander more often waited until the dish had been cooked, or when the dish was almost finished, only to realize that one or two crucial steps were missing, and then began to remedy it with all sorts of strange magic.

Although a lot of ingredients were wasted, on the other hand, Elena also learned a lot of new cooking magic from Tina.

For example, if she notices that she has accidentally put too much salt, she immediately uses a transformation charm to empty all the salt grains, which is even effective if the purpose is clear, even ensuring that the amount of spice she cooks is accurate to less than milligram error every time.

I have to admit that compared to the top chefs in the non-magical world, in the case of no medicine, magic cooking may not increase the upper limit of dishes as much as imagined, but as an auxiliary correction method, it can greatly raise the lower limit of wizards' cooking in the kitchen, so that most people can reach a level above a passing line.

At least after a month's "cooking class" with Elena, according to Elena's visual observations, Mrs. Scamander's cooking level of daily British dishes is almost close to the level of the chefs of most mid-level restaurants.

"Of course, of course, I won't forget this time...... Chef Kaslana's exclusive secret recipe. ”

Tina Scamander replied with a smile, tapping her wand deftly.

"Beef stock with a little Worcestershire sauce is a culinary combination I hadn't thought of before. ”

Not far away, a bottle of Worcestershire sauce on top of the spice station flew up and landed next to the pan she was in charge of, ready to add the sauce to make the sauce thick and delicious with the beef stock.

This one of the iconic condiments of the United Kingdom, which originated in Worcestershire, England, is arguably one of the UK's most iconic condiments.

Although the sweet, sour and slightly spicy Worcestershire sauce seems to be somewhat similar to the common soy sauce in the East at first glance, in fact, there is a considerable difference between the two in terms of raw materials, uses, and taste.

Unlike soy sauce, which is used in today's Chinese cuisine, Worcestershire sauce is undoubtedly much more complex in terms of process.

If Elena remembers correctly, a standard bottle of Worcestershire sauce requires nearly 30 spices and seasonings, including barley vinegar, white vinegar, molasses, sugar, salt, anchovies, tamarind, onions, garlic, celery, horseradish, ginger, pepper, anise, etc., which are heated and boiled, filtered and fermented before the finished product can be filled.

In fact, the longer Elena lived in the UK, the more she understood a truth.

Even the United Kingdom, known as a "gastronomic desert" and "Europe's dark culinary world", actually has a lot of imaginative and thoughtful top-notch spices like Worcestershire sauce, and all they lack is a person who has discovered all this beauty, just as simple soy sauce is not delicious, but it still holds up a large sky of Chinese food.

And the same is true of the wizarding world in this regard.

Elena glanced at Newt Scamander, who was standing outside the kitchen area with an embarrassed face, as if he wanted to say something, but was afraid to approach because of his wife's authority, and the corners of her mouth curled into an expectant arc.

On the last day, she finally waited for Newt to take the initiative.

The elves at Gringotts Wizarding Bank have already sent Newt's bill to her, and over the course of a month, Newt Scamander has withdrawn cash at Gringotts Wizarding Bank an average of 2-3 times a week, and most of the time converting gold galleons into pounds, dollars, and rubles.

"Mr. Scamander, you have come just in time! Can you come and help me here?"

Elena turned her head and smiled sweetly at Newt Scamander.

"Eh, me?" Newt was slightly stunned, and pointed to himself with some hesitation.

While he did have something he wanted to talk to Elena, ......

In his beast-like intuition, he always felt that the silver-haired half-blood little girl in front of him seemed to exude a hint of ill will, as if it was the Hell succubus with wings spread and wagging its tail in Muggle legends.

But apart from him, neither Mrs. Scamander nor the other two girls felt this way.

Without giving Newt Scamander much time to hesitate, Elena spread her hands and pointed around the edge of the kitchen counter, then explained softly in a slightly distressed tone.

"Hmm. You see, there's also a clam bisque and a flaming salmon to be cooked here. If I am alone, it is inevitable that some things will not be thorough. But don't worry, what you need to do isn't complicated. It would be great if you could help me keep an eye on the heat a little bit and do some simple timekeeping. ”

"But I ......," Newt Scamander glanced at his wife, his lips twitching.

"Newt, the kids are leaving tomorrow!"

Mrs. Scamander turned her back to Newt, and as she concentrated on her pot of pan-fried portobello mushrooms, she let out a soft snort that was not light, and spoke in a calm tone.

"Hmm, okay, okay...... So what do I need to do?"

Newt sighed helplessly, walked over to Elena, and asked with a little vigilance.

In the past few days, Elena had rarely invited him into the kitchen area, and Newt Scamander had the impression that most of the time he sat quietly at the table with Hannah and Luna, waiting for the meal to begin.

So, no matter how you look at it, this invitation of Elena seems full of eccentricity.

Just when Newt was still hesitating, I saw that the white-haired ball seemed to be unable to wait, and jumped over and took his hand and walked towards the kitchen counter, and at the same time introduced it like a general patrolling the territory.

"Oh, it's simple, clam chowder is arguably the best soup out there. The most important thing about this dish is to achieve the perfect balance between the rich flavor of salted pork and the unique aroma and umami of seafood......"

From Tina Scamander's point of view, Elena begins to talk about cooking again, which is perhaps one of the very few places where a girl feels helpless, even if the other party is Newt, who knows nothing about cooking, this cute and serious little chef still does not miss such an essential link.

"I'm almost done with the soup in advance, I've spread the diced salted pork on the bottom of the pan, then the potatoes on top, sprinkled with herbs, diced onions, black pepper, and finally a full layer of clams, stewed salmon stock, covered with water, and simmered for almost thirty minutes......"

But......

That's just what Tina Scamander and the other little witches have heard.

As Elena's hand touched his palm, Newt felt as if he had passed through a thin layer of ripples—no! More accurately, he was shrouded in a very thin invisible barrier.

In Newt Scamander's ears, the sound was much quieter.

It was vague, as if it was background music coming from far away, but what really sounded clear was another paragraph, and at the same time, it was Elena's playful look like a little devil.

"So, have you finally made up your mind? Mr. Scamander?"

"Huh, you're ......."

Newt shook his head subconsciously and turned his head a little worriedly to look at his wife, who was a few steps away from him.

Not far away, Tina Scamander was still concentrating on pan-fried portobello mushrooms in the pan.

Due to the large amount of cream and olive oil inhaled in advance, the tender and juicy portobello mushrooms need to be stir-fried constantly during the subsequent cooking process, otherwise it is easy to cause only one side of the mushroom juice to be boiled out, and the juice on the other side is unevenly accumulated in the mushroom umbrella, resulting in a bad situation of half greasy and half light when the final dish is served.

"Take it easy, Newt, don't be nervous. Unless they touch my skin, for at least half an hour, all they see and hear is an illusion I created using the 'duality rewinding architecture magic'—"

Elena smiled and whispered, opening her arms and turning in a circle.

"With me as the center, within a meter or so, it is completely under my control - all the sound and light have been processed and isolated, even the lip shape has been simulated and recorded in advance, and there will be no flaws. ”

"That's what you researched yourself...... Extremely advanced illusion magic?"

Newt looked thoughtfully at his surroundings and couldn't see anything out of the ordinary.

However, judging by the reaction of his wife not far away, Tina apparently didn't notice what was going on here at all - unless Tina Scamander would cooperate with the little girls to make a bad joke.

There is no doubt that even Newt has raised his vigilance and prediction of Elena countless times in his heart.

But countless times have proved that this little witch trained by Gellert Grindelwald and Albus Dumbledore has already reached a whole new realm of magical talent that he cannot understand.

Merely......

"Sorry, I don't understand, what's the point of you doing this?"

Newt Scamander frowned, watching Elena fiddle with the workbench in front of him from time to time, looking at him with an interested look that gave him the illusion that he was the salmon on the girl's chopping board.

"I mean...... If you're going to talk to me alone, don't take the risk of having something that isn't quite right at this time – maybe we should sit down after dinner and have a good discussion. ”

Looking at the workbench full of various ingredients, Newt suddenly felt a headache again.

It was true that things about cooking in the kitchen were his weakness, so he really couldn't understand why Elena insisted on talking about serious things while eating or cooking, especially something so serious and upset.

At least as far as Newt knew, the first two Dark Lords probably didn't have such bad habits.

"The first thing I need to correct is that talking about things while eating and cooking is the most appropriate time!"

Elena raised her finger and shook it slightly, and continued quite seriously.

"More importantly......"

"Only then will Mrs. Scamander not be suspicious—if I am not mistaken, you must not have confessed to your wife what has happened these days, and if you do not explain it to-night, you will be in a very dangerous position when I, Hannah, and Luna leave here to-morrow. ”

"Eh, dangerous, why?" Newt was slightly stunned.

"Isn't that obvious...... Alas, forget it, you'll just listen to me anyway. ”

Elena glanced at Newt Scamander, who was still a little unclear, and shook her head helplessly.

What a hopeless guy, if it weren't for the fact that he had saved the world, and if he was still a powerful wizard, let alone getting married and having children, he might not live to be middle-aged and be photographed to death in a secluded alley.

"Anyway, you still have a quarter of an hour to ......"

Elena pointed to the clam and salted pork soup in front of her, which had been simmering for thirty minutes.

In the middle of the conversation, she had already added milk and soda cracker crumbs to it, and only needed to simmer for another ten minutes or so, and then add the melted cream and wheat flour in another pan to make a thick paste.

At the same time, a small and delicate timer has appeared on the workbench.

The dualistic rewinding architecture magic only changes optical phenomena, even if it can constrain sound within a local range with Elena's optimization, but it is essentially just a more sophisticated illusion magic.

On the other hand, with such a level of "Elena time", she can't last too long for the time being.

After a quarter of an hour at most, she would need to disarm the spell and restore everything to its original state.

"So if there's anything you want to say, I suggest you don't hesitate for too long...... In the course of a quarter of an hour, if you have any questions, I will answer them truthfully – in return for the month of care I have received from you and your wife. ”

Elena Lake's blue eyes glanced at Newt, and the corners of her mouth lifted up meaningfully.

"But even if I miss this opportunity, I don't think it will have much impact on your life, but I'm a little worried about the people who have poured their expectations into you...... It may not be too long to wait. ”

"How do you know this?!You're sending someone to follow me?!"

Newt Scamander's pupils contracted violently, and a look of extreme shock appeared on his face.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm not going to do anything that boring and inefficient, and I don't think I'll be able to spy on your whereabouts without you detecting it - it's just a simple analysis based on big data. ”

Elena stirred the cream paste in front of her, shrugged her shoulders and explained nonchalantly.

"The principle is very simple, every pound and gold coin that flows out of Gringotts will be recorded and numbered, and we can trace all the transactions that leave Gringotts' business to be carried out. Do you think that the nearly 1,000-year-old Gringotts Wizarding Bank is only involved in the most basic monetary custody business?"

"So...... You've known about that for a long time, but you've been watching?!"

"No, I've been selling them potatoes at a fairly reasonable market price, which is a once-in-a-lifetime market monopoly opportunity, and in the last six months, Gringotts Wizarding Bank has recovered nearly 120 billion rubles. ”

Elena shook her head lightly and said with a little pride.

"Why?!"

Newt Scamander frowned, his face was a little ugly, and he subconsciously blurted out.

"Why do you want to do this, you're already so rich......"

From his point of view, as the fairy queen of the Gringotts Wizarding Bank, Elena could easily save those who were in difficult circumstances, twenty pounds would be enough to support a family for an entire week.

And what is even more difficult for him to accept is that there are still people who want to squeeze wealth from those poor people at such a time.

"So, do you think the Gringotts Wizarding Bank should give them a monthly handout?"

Elena raised her head and glanced at Newt rather strangely, raising an eyebrow.

"Mr. Scamander, the relief you have shown over the past month has been noble, but I think you should have come to realize that that little pound is a drop in the bucket for the whole world—"

"47 non-magical families, 29 magical families, this is the result of your relief for the month. ”

"But the potatoes provided by Gringotts Wizarding Bank, Destiny and Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in the past six months have helped 10.24 million people survive the toughest winter and spring, only accepting rubles for payment – of course, I don't think you understand it right now. ”

Elena explained in a calm tone, without a hint of pride or pride on her face.

"By the way, by the way, about a tenth of the potatoes and bread in Ukraine and Russia, even today, are provided by Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, as well as Professor Dumbledore's personal mobile farm space. ”

From 1989 to 1990, it was a year of poor harvests around the world.

In order to break through this dilemma, the only solution was to allow farms to sell grain freely at market prices, and to motivate farmers to grow grain through profits, thereby increasing grain production as a whole.

However, the largest nation in human history did not survive to see the light of day.

With the arrival of 1992, Ukraine, Russia, and other countries, which had just welcomed freedom for less than a month, began to face a very serious problem -- there was an extreme shortage of their food reserves.

This is also one of the reasons why, although the collapse of the Soviet Union is somewhat strange in the eyes of the world, neither the people of the former Soviet Union nor those in power have considered a return to the way things were in place in the years since.

No one wants to maintain a government that keeps them hungry.

Rather than remembering the glory of the past, more people must first let themselves find a way to survive in this bad world.

"I think...... The fear of 'personal change' that worries you is because you, and most people, have a strange idea that if you want something, you have to sacrifice or give up something. But ......"

Elena glanced at the silent Newt Scamander, pulled out her wand and gently poked the pan in front of her.

The batter rises out of thin air and falls into the iron pot next to it, where it is about to finish cooking, and quickly stirs into a thick and smooth soup, and the aroma of seafood and bacon wafts through the air.

"But as shamans, one of the few people in the human race who wield wonderful powers, we are so good at creating and challenging the seemingly impossible things in nature......
