Chapter 657: First Encounter
A naturally sensitive and willful half-breed girl, a magic star that has not been met in a thousand years, a treacherous and shrewd fairy queen, a young Dark Lord who has hidden murderous intentions, and a fearless magical animal predator......
Any one of these labels is enough to cause a headache, let alone all of them......
Maybe this is the legendary demon king who destroyed the world, right?
Newt Scamander roughly understood the uneasiness that had been swirling in his heart before, and the sense of foreboding.
If it weren't for Dumbledore's last words, without worrying about the future fate of Fantastic Beasts, and without the danger of the birth of the next Dark Lord, he would probably have already begun to pack his bags and prepare to hide in a safe little corner with Tina and his little animals, quietly waiting for Miss Caslana's summer vacation to end.
As for the chances of successfully getting out, Newt is still quite sure - he has already considered the situation that Dumbledore will pit him again anyway, so the new safe house option can be said to be a real disappearance from this world.
But now that Dumbledore had told everything honestly, he naturally couldn't continue to bury his head in the sand like an ostrich, pretending not to know anything and slowly waiting for the tragedy to happen.
He was well aware of the terrible calamities that unbridled power and wealth could lead to if misused for hunting.
The character of the mixed-race Meiwa is not completely impossible to grasp, as long as it does not stimulate their bottom line, Meiwa is actually a kind and lively nature elf, and under the guidance of sincerity and patience, they will also become reliable protectors of order.
On the other hand, considering the girl's special status as the "Gringotts Elven Empress", her goodwill transformation will at least greatly affect and determine the relationship between the elves and human wizards, and even create a new symbiotic society, which is something that no pure human wizard can do, and perhaps this is why Dumbledore takes it so seriously.
Well, at the same time, she's the last note of the wizarding wars of the old days.
Whether it's a break to end hatred or the first movement to start the dawn, after all, compared to adult wizards who have long been fully formed, Elena who has just finished her first year at Hogwarts is almost infinitely malleable.
And this time, with the exception of the summer vacation, most of the time was borne by Dumbledore himself......
Newt Scamander thought about what was next, and his original depressed and annoyed mood eased a little.
Merlin was on top, hoping that the sky over the town of Plymouth would never see a sign of the Saints assembled.
Newt took a deep breath and prayed silently in his heart in a rare way.
At the same time, the four women, one large, three and the younger, had returned to the living room one after another, and judging from the expressions on their faces and the voices of their increasingly intimate conversations, it was clear that the first impression of each other was quite good.
No, to be exact......
Newt looked around the room, his gaze swept over his wife's figure, and landed on the cutest silver-haired witch.
The long satin silver hair occasionally shimmered with a faint light, and the delicate countenance of a forest elf in Muggle legend had a touch of unconsciously pitiful timidity, and a cute little derpy hair swayed happily from side to side on the top of the girl's head...... Is this the charm talent comparable to that of a pure-blooded girl?
The warm and familiar scene at the living room dining table did not bring any warmth to Newt.
There is no doubt that this extremely dangerous half-breed baby has managed to capture his wife - this is not a surprising result, and even if she is so much older, Tina is unlikely to be the match of the first fairy queen ever.
If it had been another scene, Newt would not have had such an intense cold mood.
However, since he had just learned the true face of this white-haired ball, the more gentle and cute this child became, the more dangerous and terrifying it became in Newt Scamander's eyesβthe demon king who played with people's hearts was much more tricky and difficult to deal with than those paranoid madmen who killed people indiscriminately.
Judging from the current situation, even if he offered to drive the little girls away now, and not to mention the reaction of Dumbledore and the young Dark Lord, his gentle and virtuous Lady Scamander would have opened fire on him first.
Just as Newt Scamander was in a state of thought, a delicate and lovely face suddenly appeared in front of him.
"Mr. Scamander, what about Professor Dumbledore, isn't he with you?"
Elena asked as she sucked on the cookie crumbs stuck to her fingertips as she looked curiously at her surroundings.
It's coming! The first head-on contact is coming! You must not show your stuffing!
Newt Scamander closed his eyes slightly, and his chaotic mind instantly returned to a calm state.
Now the information gap between the two sides is his biggest reliance now, and he must use this to succeed.
This is not a playful Dark Lord, not the heir of a saint, Grindelwald's granddaughter, she is just a baby, a troll, a goblin, a humanoid poisonhorn...... He had always been confident in how to deal with magical creatures.
A second later, Newt reopened his eyes and replied softly with a smile on his face.
"Oh, Professor Dumbledore was in a hurry, so he left first. β
"It turned out that there was a sudden emergency? What a coincidence? Another ......"
Elena's eyes flickered, and she whispered thoughtfully.
"Again? What again?"
Hearing the whisper from the girl's mouth, Newt subconsciously asked curiously.
"Oh, nothing, Professor Dumbledore does have a lot of important work to do. β
Elena shook her head slightly, the smile on her face not changing in the slightest.
This familiar routine, she had experienced it herself in Newmontgard Castle a few months ago, but compared to the last time she was caught off guard, this time she actually had a psychological expectation, and the only thing that needed to be confirmed was ......
"By the way, speaking of which, Mr. Scamander......"
Elena looked up, her lake-blue eyes staring into Newt Scamander's eyes, and asked casually.
"So did Professor Dumbledore tell you anything else before he left, like a general introduction to us, or the schedule for the next month, or whatever?
The first step in Demon King Survival is to first determine the offensive and defensive alliances.
Compared with Gellert Grindelwald, Newt Scamander, a hardcore henchman of the old radish, is more likely to have a joint case, and if her true colors have been revealed, she doesn't have to go so far to disguise.
"Well, Dumbledore taught him ......"
Newt's mind was relieved, and he was subconsciously about to say the prepared manuscript, but his eyes fell on Elena's face that seemed to be shrouded in a layer of light, and his heart suddenly froze, and the words that were about to reach his mouth were instantly retracted.
Wait a minute!
This phenomenon is obviously the state of Meiwa's bloodline exerting its enchanting power.
If it's just a normal question, then there's no need for this little guy who has mastered his own charm ability to deliberately use his charm - the question just now is definitely not a casual small talk, there is definitely something wrong!
Newt quickly replayed Elena's words in his mind, and his eyes swept over the crumbs that Dumbledore had eaten on the edge of the couch and had deliberately cleaned up before leaving, and reacted instantly.
This problem is simply a trap.
No matter how he concocted and organized a message from Dumbledore, it would reveal the fact that the old wizard had been in the living room for a long time, which happened to be contrary to Dumbledore's claim that there was an urgent matter to leave suddenly.
Time, that's right, the crux of the question is that the last sentence is not a question at all!
"Unfortunately, Professor Dumbledore left shortly after you left the living room. β
Newt shrugged, a look of natural annoyance on his face.
"Aside from the previous letter that you were going to the Quidditch National Team for a summer trial, he hadn't even given me a good introduction to who your children were - I'm Newt Scamander, ...... are you?"
Although not so good at acting, the annoyance on Newt's face is indeed real.
He had fully realized the difficulty of this trouble that Dumbledore had thrown at this time, and this level of cunning was simply not comparable to that of an ordinary eleven-year-old witch, no, it was simply not comparable to that of ordinary wizards.
Therefore, even if he faced the youngest goblin queen in Gringotts' history, he was not afraid of being exposed.
After taking a closer look at Newt's annoyed expression and the neat and clean living room table, Elena nodded slightly, and the trace of her mind quickly disappeared - as far as she knew, Newt was a simple wizard who was not good at lying to people.
"Oh, that's it......"
Elena replied with a slight frustration, and a sweet smile appeared on her face.
"Hello, Senior Newt. I'm Elena, Elena Kaslana. And like you, you're a Hufflepuff student, and you're especially fond of fantastic beasts, and I've been looking forward to meeting you since I entered the wizarding world. β
and the famous Leprechaun Queen, Grindelwald's granddaughter, the third Dark Lord, Hogwarts chef, Fantastic Beasts Predator...... Newt Scamander's eyes twitched, and he silently added in his heart.
Newt Scamander seems to have remained unchanged on the outside, but he is quietly relieved inside.
Fortunately, there was Dumbledore's prompt, and he himself reacted in time, otherwise I am afraid it would have been a different scene now.
......
The winner or loser of the first duel
(Because of the old carrot's informant, and the old freckles' special attack on magical creatures)
Newt Scamander wins
