Beyond the dimensional gate, Sivin and Riddle came to a small hill in Albania.

Now that the sky had darkened, black shadows creeping through the grass on the ground from time to time, their bodies rubbing against the grass and making a terrible "rustle" sound.

Shivin shuddered and was about to cast a spell to protect himself from being bitten by a poisonous snake, but Riddle was the first to act.

Not only did he not have any fear of these poisonous snakes on his face, but instead showed a kind expression.

Then, his mouth made a strange "hiss" sound, like the hiss of a snake and the whisper of a demon......

With Riddle's strange sound, the surrounding dark shadows gradually gathered around him. Some small snakes also climbed on top of him and rubbed their faces against his skin affectionately.

Xiwen lit his wand and saw the scene in front of him-

Riddle was covered with oval-markinged vipers that were wrapped around Riddle's arms, legs, and waist, or lying on his back, poking their heads out of front of him. These snakes seem to have turned into moving streamers wrapped around Riddle's body, and there is an inexplicable bewitching beauty.

"So the snake cavity can not only be used to talk to snakes, but also to control them?" Xiwen looked at Riddle, who was dressed in a snake streamer, and asked curiously.

"I'm not sure if I can control it." Riddle shook his head and said to Xiwen. "But they do help me very well."

"If that's the case, it still seems to be very powerful!" Shiwen smiled and exclaimed. "Let's go, let's go meet Dumbledore and them first."

The two of them walked towards a flash of fire next to the hill.

Shevan's dimensional door wasn't too far open, and within a few steps he could see Dumbledore and Newt sitting on the ground around a campfire, protected by a hemispherical transparent shield.

Outside the shield is a group of vipers that feel the temperature of the campfire. The vipers huddled together, trying to get closer to the warm campfire, but were blocked out by the shield.

When Riddle came to the outside of the shield, he hissed with the vipers again, and soon made them spread out a wide passage.

At this time, Dumbledore also saw the two of them.

He smiled and waved his wand, and the transparent shield opened a doorway for the two to enter.

Just as Shevin and Riddle were about to step into the shield, Aberforth raised his hand to stop them.

"Just that dark-haired boy, are you going to come in with a snake?" He asked loudly as he looked at the various small snakes on Riddle's body with dissatisfaction.

Riddle then remembered that he still had many snake streamers on his body.

He smiled apologetically, then opened his mouth to dispel the vipers before he and Shiwen came to the campfire.

"Would you like a barbecue?" Dumbledore held up a wooden skewer with skewers on it, smiling and asking Sven and Riddle.

The corners of his mouth twitched as he looked at Newt, who was trying to grill meat by the campfire, and Theseus, who was helping out next to him.

"How did you get the barbecue?" Xiwen asked.

"After all, we haven't had a good meal all day, so I thought I might as well try what it's like to have a barbecue by myself." Dumbledore said with interest. "It just so happens that Newt's suitcase has a lot of barbecue tools and spices, let's catch some small animals, and everything is complete!"

As he spoke, he took another wooden skewer from the campfire, and naturally lowered the temperature of the roast meat with a spell, and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Looks pretty good." Xiwen was not polite, picked up two skewers of barbecue from the campfire, handed one to Riddle, and tried to bite into the other himself.

Then the two of them were amazed and gave Newt a thumbs up.

I have to say that Newt, as a magizoologist who has been in the wild for many years, has quite good barbecue skills. Ordinary pheasant chicken can be grilled to bring out the taste of delicacies from the mountains and seas.

When Shevin and Riddle joined the barbecue, the rate of food consumption immediately increased by a notch. Newt soon found that the meat had been eaten, and said to Dumbledore:

"Albus, I'm running out of ingredients."

Dumbledore nodded, and casually reached out in the direction of the forest, and a brightly colored pheasant flew over from the forest.

The transparent shield also opened a hole in time, allowing the pheasant to fly in through the opening and land in Dumbledore's hands.

Under Dumbledore's clever control, the pheasant went peacefully.

Dumbledore didn't know what spell he used, or if he just relied on his control of the magic, he sent the pheasant floating in the air, and the feathers fell off on its own.

Then, a few small grasses on the ground rose from the ground, and under the effect of Transfiguration, they turned into wooden sticks, which automatically pierced through various parts of the pheasant and handed them into Newt's hands.

Xiwen had already seen Dumbledore's manipulation with the eyes of a soul body, so his expression was quite calm. Although in my heart, I still admire Dumbledore's control.

Riddle was even more dazzled by the action, which made him realize for the first time that magic could still be used like this!

……

After eating and drinking, everyone got up and used the vanishing charm to clean up the garbage from the picnic.

Then, the day's work finally got to the point.

"Tom, did Sivan tell you what we were going to do with you?" Dumbledore asked, looking at Riddle.

"Well, I already know." Riddle nodded. "You're looking for a witch who might have turned into a snake, right?"

Dumbledore bowed slightly, then glanced at Aurelius.

"Nagini's snake form is a turquoise, oval-marked, viper about twelve feet long." Aurelius understood, and opened his mouth to describe it to Riddle. "I'll leave it to you this time, Mr. Riddle."

Newt also added to the side: "The average pit viper doesn't exceed four feet, so just ask from the mouths of those little snakes if you have ever seen such a big snake, and then it will be easy to find Nagini." ”

Riddle nodded, turned and stepped out of the transparent shield, standing in the middle of the snakes.

Then, there was a strange "hissing" sound from the snakes......

Both Kama and Aberforth looked at Riddle's position with some unease, clearly still suspicious of the snake's old man. However, in Dumbledore's stern eyes, they still suppressed their worries and waited patiently.

In a moment, Riddle returned to Dumbledore and the others.

"How?" Aurelius asked wistfully.

"Worthy of the mission." Riddle smiled smugly and said to Aurelius. "There is indeed a great snake that lives in the forests of Albania, and the vipers here have recognized her as the king of snakes!"
