Chapter 133: Three-Eyed Tiger
After coming to Colora Manor, it was still a tedious practice. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Of course, Benjamin was obediently listening to Mr. Colora's explanation, but he had already begun to think about what he should say when he met Rose the witch.
"Alright, kids, that's all for today's lesson. ā
After Mr. Colora finished speaking, he turned and left.
And Benjamin also stood up in a hurry. Lucien glanced at him behind him, finally putting his hand down and sighing.
With an amazing memory, Benjamin managed to find the apartment where Rose the witch was.
Before going upstairs, after tidying up his clothes a little, Benjamin walked into the apartment.
It was still a dilapidated iron door, and after many knocks, a weak and unfriendly voice came from inside.
"Hey, who's out there!"
Benjamin heard this voice, which was the same Rose he had seen that day, and said directly:
"It's me, Benjamin Ludwig. I once came to see you with my mother. ā
The witch behind the door was stunned, Ludwig, and she immediately remembered who Benjamin was. However, Rose did not open the door, but continued to ask:
"It's Daphne's boy, what are you doing here? Didn't your mother tell you that I was an evil witch?
However, to Benjamin's ears, this kind of talk is only enough to be funny.
"Aunt Rose, I'm not a child anymore, in fact I'm very bold, I'm not afraid of witches who can eat people. ā
There was no sound, and then after a few minutes, the iron door was opened with a "babbling".
What came out of the picture was Rose, who was wearing a simple and even a little shabby coat, with a pale face.
She gave Benjamin a deep look, then turned to his side and let him into her room.
In fact, today's living room looks much cleaner than the last time Benjamin came.
Benjamin sat on the couch as well.
"Auntie, I came to you today to ask a question. ā
Rose sneered, stood in front of Benjamin, looked down at him and said, "Problem? What is the problem? The Ludwig family has so many books, is there a problem that can't be solved?"
Benjamin didn't quite understand why this woman was so unfriendly to his father's family. "It's about magical creatures, and as you should know, there are very few books about them these days. And the ones that were recorded before had already been destroyed by the time of the goblin uprising. ā
Rose's body visibly shuddered involuntarily when she heard the word magical creature.
Then Rose finally sat down, looked at Benjamin, and said:
"Then you ask, in fact, my knowledge and love for magical creatures came from my teacher. It's just that I clearly failed to live up to his expectations. ā
Benjamin was immediately interested, and then asked, "Then can I ask, who is your teacher?"
Rose smiled, her eyes not looking as cold as they had been. "Of course, his name is Newt Scamander, and you'll hear that name when you're in a magical beast conservation class in your second year. The book "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" was written by him himself. ā
Benjamin nodded, he had seen the book in the library. However, he also knew that there were actually many dangerous and rare magical creatures that Mr. Newt did not mark in them. After all, this is a textbook for young wizards.
It's just that I didn't expect Rose to be Mr. Newt's student, and it seems that the relationship between the two was once close, which is really invisible.
"Of course, ma'am, I know Mr. Newt, and I know his book. Actually, I just wanted to ask, do you know of a creature called the Three-Eyed Tiger?"
Rose's pupils, which had become human, suddenly turned cold again, and she asked puzzledly, "Three-eyed tiger, why do you know about such a dangerous creature?"
Benjamin had no choice but to give Rose the reason he had told Mrs. Ludwig again, but Rose immediately looked skeptical.
"Your classmates are very well-informed! These creatures are rare, they look like tigers, except for an extra eye in the middle of their foreheads. Legend has it that when the middle eye is opened, it brings calamity. Actually, I don't believe it. The reason why many people don't know about this creature is very simple. ā
Rose paused suddenly, and Benjamin, who was listening energetically, had to ask, "Why don't many people know?" He thought it was a particularly dangerous and mysterious creature, but it didn't sound that scary.
"Because it's not from England," Rose kept pressing her hand on her temple, "Actually, it's a magical creature from India." In the sixties, it was smuggled into continental Europe by a group of stupid Muggles. Later, I heard that the big ship full of three-eyed tigers was about to approach the harbor when it suddenly sank to the bottom of the sea for no apparent reason. The three-eyed tiger on board was all gone. ā
Benjamin was stunned for a moment, only to think that this was too much like the plot of a novel made up by the Muggles themselves.
"And where are all these Three-Eyed Tigers now?" Benjamin continued, as he began to speculate in his mind about the strength of this magical creature.
"When I was younger, I was just as curious as you were. When I was studying, I once started looking around for traces of this magical creature during a vacation. And I really found ......"
Just when Rose was about to talk about the critical moment, Hu Yanzi's iron door was directly opened, and then a good-looking, but drunk, disheveled man broke in.
Without Rose's introduction, Benjamin knew that this person must be her husband, the drunkard Muggle.
Rose's face turned red with shame, and she stood up and blocked Benjamin.
"If you want to know where they are, come and ask me this time tomorrow. Now you can go home first, kid. ā
Benjamin was not an impulsive person, and he didn't feel that an outsider could play any role in the relationship between the two men.
So Benjamin simply nodded, then hurriedly sideways and ran out.
It's just that when Benjamin was about to step out of the iron gate, he had already heard Rose's screams.
It turned out that the drunkard actually picked up a wine bottle and smashed it on it.
But when Benjamin saw Rose shaking her head in pain, he finally let go of the wand in his pocket and left the apartment.
