Chapter 149: The Pig's Head Bar
Using Newt's two-way mirror to determine the location, Shivin opens the dimensional door to the pig's head bar.
Crossing the golden circle of light, Dumbledore, the young wizard Sevan and the ghost Sevin entered the bar in turn.
Speaking of which, this was the first time that Shewin had come to the pub, which was run by Dumbledore's brother, so he began to look curiously at the bar as soon as he entered.
The Pig's Head Bar was small and dirty, and there was a strong smell of fish, probably goat. The bar's glass was covered in dirt, and little sunlight could get into the room, and the only light inside was a few candles on a rough wooden table.
The little wizard Xiwen looked at the stone floor that had accumulated a layer of dirt, like it had never been cleaned, and carefully stepped on the slightly clean floor gap, feeling that there was nowhere to stay.
"Isn't it cleaned here?" He couldn't help but ask.
"If you love to come, you can come if you don't want to come!" A tall, lanky man with a goatee shouted rudely.
Shivin looked at the man with some annoyance, and then noticed that he had a somewhat similar face to Dumbledore and the same sharp blue eyes.
"You are Mr. Aberforth Dumbledore?" Xiwen didn't care about his rudeness and the dirt on the ground, but just looked at him with interest and asked.
"So you want me to compliment you on your eyesight?" Aberforth said in a gruff voice. As he spoke, he held a rag that had not been washed for an unknown number of years, and casually wiped the wine glass in his hand.
"Xiwen, Aberforth is this kind of character, he actually has no malicious intent, I hope you can forgive him." Dumbledore walked over and said to Sivan.
Shevin shook his head, and was about to say something, but was interrupted by Aberforth's rude voice.
"I don't need a little understanding!" He said in a deep voice.
Hearing his younger brother ruthlessly dismantle his own stage, Rao couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed with Dumbledore's mentality. He had no choice but to say no more, and silently led Xiwen into the interior of the bar.
The two of them walked into a room in the bar, and saw that there were already many people sitting next to a not-so-clean table, most of them old members of Dumbledore's project who had joined Dumbledore's plan in the first half of the winter—Newt, Theseus, and Yusuph Cama.
In addition, there was a beautiful witch in a dark blue jacket in the crowd.
"Albus, Strange, oh and Shivan, you're here!" Newt saw the two ghosts that had arrived, and got up to greet him. "As luck would have it, I was just introducing Strange to Tina."
"That's a coincidence!" Ghost Shiwen nodded, looked at Newt and asked. "Newt, that's your girlfriend Tina Goldstein, right?"
"That's right, she's my fiancée now." Newt smiled shyly and said.
"Tina, this is the very powerful ghost I just introduced you to, Mr. Stephen Strange."
Tina walked up to Sivan with great interest, held out her hand to him, and said, "It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Strange. ”
Ghost Shiwen looked at Tina's outstretched hand and looked at her with some confusion.
"I almost forgot, I can't shake hands with the ghost." Tina laughed and nodded to Xiwen instead.
Shiwen politely nodded to her in response.
To be honest, Shivin was still quite curious about Tina, and he didn't know what kind of witch could attract someone like Newt who was all about magical beasts.
Moreover, there are many well-known stories about her, such as Newt's use of the word "salamander" to describe Tina's eyes......
It's a pity that Xiwen hasn't seen a salamander, and he doesn't know how romantic this tacit metaphor between the two can be.
"I'm sorry for you to come here today." Dumbledore said with a smile. "Before I begin, I need to tell you that we still have a difficult task ahead of us!"
"Grindelwald led his followers to riot around the world, and they did not shy away from the Muggle community at all, and it seems that they wanted to expose the wizarding world to Muggle society to the end."
"Yes, the Magic Exposure Threat Level Meter of the Magic Kingdom of Magnesium is now pointing orange, which means that the exposure threat is extremely serious!" Tina took Dumbledore's words and spoke to the crowd.
"Speaking of which, how did the Magic Congress of the Magnesium Kingdom act?" Dumbledore asked with interest.
"The situation on our side is slightly better than in Europe, but it's not optimistic." Tina said solemnly. "Grindelwald also has quite a lot of followers in the magnesium country, and every riot has a large number of low-level people in the wizarding world, which makes the wizarding kingdom very difficult."
"We can't just put everyone in jail, let alone be indifferent. However, the initiators of riots tend to flee quickly, and the Auror Office has carried out several operations to capture the leaders, but there are few successful examples. ”
"That's why Congress sent me over to make a deal with you, so I have time to come here." Tina glanced at Newt beside her, and the two of them laughed knowingly.
"It's okay here in the country, maybe it's because Dumbledore is in the country." Theseus also opened his mouth to add. "Our Aurors now even have the spare energy to support other countries and answer the call of the International Federation of Wizards."
"The situation in the country of Boom and the country of magnesium seems to be fine, but it can't go on like this forever. Grindelwald will not be satisfied with such a small fight as it is now. Dumbledore listened to Tina and Theseus and said to everyone present.
"The problem we need to solve now is that we can't catch up with the time difference. Grindelwald was always able to get out of the venue before me because of his ability to foresee, so I hadn't really met him in months. ”
"So what you mean this time is, let's use the Dimension Gate to help you get to Grindelwald faster?" The little wizard Xiwen asked suspiciously. "But Grindelwald could have foreseen this kind of teleportation, right?"
"You're right, so that's the specific issue we need to discuss." Dumbledore nodded. "Of course, our plan will definitely be more difficult to achieve this time."
"Grindelwald, after being deceived by us in the last election, doesn't completely believe what he sees now. He's not the kind of person who makes the same mistake a second time! ”
"So this time the plan will be no plan?" Ghost Xiwen couldn't help but ask.
"No, our purpose this time is to let him know about our plans." Dumbledore chuckled and said mysteriously.
