Chapter 113: Qilin
"Kirin?" When Sivin heard Newt's name, he was stunned. "Huaguo's Ancient Rui Beast Qilin?"
Shivin began to take a closer look at the magical animal in Newt's arms.
She has a fawn-like body, a calf-like tail and four cow-like hooves, and a crooked horn embedded in her forehead.
Its entire body is covered in fine scales that have a faint blue sheen. The orange-red hair extends from the top of its head downwards, through its neck and dorsal crest, and reaches the end of its tail, like a long cluster of burning flames, which is very beautiful.
Newt gently comforted the little unicorn in his arms, nodded to Xiwen, and said, "It is indeed a magical beast of Huaguo." ”
However, he disagreed with Xiwen's description, and softly explained the origin of the unicorn: "Although the unicorn is very rare, they have always survived in hidden places in China. So, I don't think it's unique to the ancient Rui Beast. ”
"The International Confederation of Wizards has always used an ancient tradition of the unicorn to choose its president." Newt explained to Shevan. "The unicorn is a magical animal with the ability to perceive. They can see a person's soul and see if they are pure in heart. ”
"The International Confederation of Wizards used this characteristic of the unicorn to choose a pure-hearted president."
"Sounds a bit sloppy." Xiwen pursed his lips and complained. "And I'm afraid it takes more than just a good heart to be elected president, what if Kirin chooses a person who has no strengths other than kindness to be elected president?"
"Xiwen, you underestimate this amazing beast like a unicorn." Newt said with a smile. "People who are kind and incapable will not be favored by the Kirin. It can be said that the wizards who can be paid tribute by the unicorn are all capable and righteous at the same time. ”
"There are very few mistakes in the Qilin Dao Ritual, if it weren't for the fact that the number of Qilin in this world is too rare, I'm afraid the Qilin Dao Ritual will continue to be passed on."
"I see." Shiwen nodded.
Then he thought of something and asked, "So what did Grindelwald do when he arranged for his men to snatch the little unicorn?" Does he still want to be elected president of the International Confederation of Wizards as a wanted criminal? ”
As he said his thoughts, Xiwen laughed.
However, he soon stopped laughing, as Newt and Lemay's expressions became solemn.
"Can he really be elected president of the federation?" Xiwen's mouth opened wide in shock.
"Theoretically impossible, but what if he tricks the current president into clearing his name?" Lemay said heavily. "We all know that Anton Vogel, the current president, is not very reliable."
Xiwen frowned and suddenly asked, "Wait, if Grindelwald can know the location of the Kirin because of his ability to foresee the future, then why did Newt suddenly ask me to send him to Guangxi more than a month ago?" How did Dumbledore know the exact location of the Kirin when he assigned Newt the task? ”
"I told Albus, Sven." Lemay looked at Xiwen and spoke. "Actually, he asked me to divinate the approximate location of the unicorn before."
"Well, it's still ...... prophetic power," Xiwen sighed with his hand on his forehead. He now felt as if if the two sides would not have been able to move forward if they hadn't prophesied.
Newt then told the three people present about his experience in Kwanghee.
“…… After I helped Kirin's mother give birth to her baby, Grindelwald's men suddenly arrived. I saw Credence, Carlo and Rozier. ”
Speaking of Rozier, Newt glanced at Shivin.
"I know, it must be my aunt." Shevin shook his head helplessly and motioned for Newt to continue.
"They killed the mother of the unicorn with several life-seeking spells, and then knocked me unconscious with the stun charm, and took the baby unicorn that was born first." Newt said in a low mood. "But fortunately, they overlooked one thing, the unicorn mother gave birth to twins."
Newt pointed to the little unicorn in his arms, and the expression on his face became a little relieved.
"I'm afraid that Grindelwald's men will come back again and find this late-born little unicorn, so I have to contact Lemay to ask him to help me find you." Newt said as he looked at Shivan. "It just so happens that you're there too, and opened the portal for me."
"So this time it was Albus and Grindelwald who were negligent at the same time?" Lemay frowned and whispered. Albus did not expect Grindelwald to foresee the Kirin, and sent his men to snatch the Kirin from Newt; And Grindelwald didn't foresee the fact that there were two little unicorns, so he gave us a chance. ”
"I don't quite understand. It's rare for either of them to slip through, so why would they be so coincidentally negligent at the same time this time? Xiwen was also very puzzled by this.
So, he opened the dimensional door to the Transfiguration Director's office.
Dumbledore stared at the diamond-shaped pendant in his hand from behind his desk, not even noticing the two of them who came to the office, Shivin and Newt.
"Albus, I've brought the little unicorn here." Newt said as he hugged the unicorn, interrupting Dumbledore's musings.
"Ah, you're doing a great job!" The interrupted Dumbledore silently hid the Blood Pact back in his sleeve and greeted Shewin and Newt, as well as the Lemay couple behind the Dimensional Gate.
"Nick, Perenal, are you going to sit down here? It's been a long time since you've been to Hogwarts! He said enthusiastically.
……
Mr. and Mrs. Lemay declined Dumbledore's invitation and did not come to Hogwarts through the Dimensional Gate.
Now, Newt and Sivan were sitting in the two chairs that Dumbledore had conjured up with the Summoning Charm, asking their questions.
"Because the unicorn is not the most important factor in the first place, Grindelwald himself is!" Dumbledore explained to the two. "Qilin may be able to help him win the hearts of the people better, but his ideals, his strength and his eloquence are the ways that can really win the hearts of the people."
"Newt, Shevan, you must know that external factors can never play a decisive role, and only we can make the final decision!" Dumbledore looked deeply at Shewin and Newt and said solemnly.
"So why did you ask me to go to Huaguo to bring the Qilin back?" Newt asked, puzzled.
"Of course, the external factors that can be fought for are also to be fought for." Dumbledore looked at the diamond-shaped pendant on his wrist and whispered.
"Not doing it personally, it's just the last tacit understanding we keep."
