Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Past Ten Years Ago

"Look at the tips of the kitten's nails." Newt said to Shevan.

Shewin leaned over and tilted his head in Newt's way, looking at the kitten's pointed nails that had been squeezed out by Newt holding the kitten's paw pads.

"Is there anything special?" Xiwen didn't see anything for a long time, and asked with some doubts.

Newt turned his head to look at Xiwen, pointed to the tip of the kitten's nails, and said, "Look at the tip of her nails, is it a little darker than the second half?" ”

Xiwen nodded, indicating that he saw it.

"Actually, that's a characteristic of Sugo." Newt explained. "Because Sugo is good at running and likes to jump, the tips of the nails of this magical animal are a little tougher than other large felines, and the deepening of the color is a reflection of this trait."

"Look here." Newt also wanted to point it out to Xiwen, but the kitten seemed reluctant and "meowed" dissatisfied.

Newt was very considerate and let go of the cat's paws, scratching the kitten's head, making her make a "purr" sound in comfort.

Newt then turned his head and explained to Shivin: "In general, feline nails grow naturally, and when they reach a certain length, they will exceed their claws, thus affecting their walking. Therefore, when the length of the nail is too long, most of them will choose to bite off the excess part of the nail themselves and then polish it again to sharpen. ”

However, unlike her nails, these dark parts are not only tough, but they can also fall off naturally after a while. As a result, there are no bite marks on the kitten's nails. ”

So how do you see the details at this level? Xiwen smiled and nodded on the surface, but in fact, his heart was numb with shock. 'Can I only say that he is the most famous magianist of our time......

"That's probably the way it is, but I haven't found the characteristics of a cat and a leopard in a kitten." Newt continued. "When will I experience the power of cats and leopards for myself, I will feel them."

"Well, you don't want to be taken down by a kitten like Professor Kettleburn, do you?" Xiwen said with an unnatural expression.

"What? Silvanus has already experienced it? Newt asked suddenly.

"Ah, yes......" Xiwen said after a moment's pause.

"Unfortunately, I don't know exactly what this cat of yours will do. We're in a hurry again, so it's not good to delay business. Newt said regretfully. Otherwise, I must experience her hypnotic abilities for myself. ”

Xiwen: "......"

……

After more than ten hours of travel, passing through several stations on the way, the European Magic Star train finally stopped at the destination of the two - Paris.

Newt, as always, grabbed his suitcase and walked off the train with Sven.

As he walked out of the station, Newt held out his hand to Shevan.

Xiwen was stunned for a moment, not quite understanding what he meant.

"I think we can do something to save time." Newt turned to look at Shivan and said with a smile.

"Oh, okay." Shivin hurriedly grabbed Newt's arm.

Then, the figures of the two twisted and disappeared in place.

When the two of them showed their figures again, they were already standing on a street with a great sense of historical precipitation. The quaint buildings are made of marble and line the streets.

The two of them were located in front of a cafΓ© where some witches and witches in wizarding robes were drinking coffee.

Newt looked at this place with a nostalgic expression, and said softly, "Just ten years ago, Gellert Grindelwald summoned his followers around here. ”

"I heard that he once wanted to destroy all of Paris?" Xiwen was silent for a moment and asked.

Newt nodded, a little frightened on his face, and said, "At that time, Grindelwald released a powerful magical flame in the PΓ¨re Lachaise cemetery, and I even suspect that that flame is more destructive than a powerful fire. ”

"If it weren't for Lemay arriving in time to bring us to end the spell. It will grow stronger as it devours, and eventually the whole of Paris will be burned to the ground. ”

What kind of flame could destroy a city like Paris? It was hard for Shivin to imagine, and even harder to accept, that this man would be their enemy.

"Does he not care about his followers? It is impossible for all believers to escape Paris, right? Xiwen asked.

"In fact, they didn't have to flee." Newt shook his head and said. "I don't know how Grindelwald did it, but his flame keeps all the people who support his ideas intact."

Hearing Newt's words, Xiwen's heart became heavy.

For the first time, Siwen realized so clearly that the Dark Lord that his Aunt Vader's follower possessed such power.

Newt seemed to see Shevan's heavy mood and relieved him, "There's no need to be so stressed. Don't forget, we also have Dumbledore. ”

"yes, we need Dumbledore too." Xiwen nodded, but he still couldn't help but ask the question that he had been entangled with for a long time, and it was also a question that the entire wizarding world had been puzzled about for a long time. "But why didn't Dumbledore stop him himself?"

Newt was silent for a moment, but still shook his head, and said to Xiwen, "I can't tell you about this on my own hands. But you can ask Dumbledore in person. ”

Then, he didn't want to say anything more, but led Xiwen to the corner of the street.

"Cards." He said succinctly.

Xiwen pulled out the golden card from the pocket watch space.

At the moment when the card appeared, the stone buildings on the side of the street suddenly expanded, and another old stone house suddenly appeared in front of Xiwen's eyes!

The three-storey stone house has an elaborate exterior with intricate carvings between each two floors. Elegant windows are framed by colourful glazed squares that cover the entire wall outside the first floor.

Near the street on the other side of the street is an old wooden door, which is connected to the street by several steps. On the other side of the wall, there was nothing but a sign with the words "21 rue Montmorency", which had long since been eroded by time.

"Shall we knock on the door?" The thought that this was where Nick Lemay lived, Shivin was a little nervous.

"King Kong is not bad Dazhai Master"

Newt chuckled softly, took the card from Shevan's hand, and strode to the door.

As Newt approached, the wind chimes outside the door made a crisp and pleasant sound.

Subsequently, the metal door opens automatically.

"Let's go, Nick should already be waiting for us inside." Newt turned around and said with a smile to Shivan.
