Chapter 204: Someone Comes
As soon as Luke's words came out, Newt and Rove were both stunned.
Newt looked at Luke in surprise, with a look of confusion on his face. Rove looked at Luke with a frown, then at Heidi with a thoughtful expression.
Heidi looked at the young man in front of her with extraordinarily beautiful eyes, frowned and asked, "You know me?" ”
"Your breath still feels familiar."
Luke said calmly, "We just finished dealing with Meade, and he looks worried about you. ”
After Luke said Mead's name, Heidi's face changed visibly. There is some nostalgia and distress, but there is also a little doubt and doubt correspondingly.
Looking at Heidi's somewhat complicated face, Luke smiled and said, "Of course, I can understand your concerns. It's normal that you don't trust any of them......"
As he spoke, Luke glanced at Newt not far away, and then said with a playful smile, "But I didn't expect you to trust humans." ”
"After all, this time, for your kidnapping, humans are also involved."
"I'm not the kind of person who thinks there isn't a good person in a race."
Heidi glanced at the teenager in front of her, who had taken the initiative to occupy everything in the room from the moment she entered the door. The first impression of him should be bad. But his tone matched that face with a disgust that was hard to relate.
The boy was so handsome that he had a laid-back extravagance. Such people are quite common in the royal palace of the Deep Sea Empire. Those royals who have little ambition tend to develop such a temperament.
This is not an innate nobility, but a momentum that has gradually developed in a long period of pampering and dominating others at will.
Heidi can also make such a gesture if she needs to. Merely......
"I don't like your lazy attitude. Be more formal. ”
As she spoke, she removed a piece of colored fish scales from her hair. The halo flashed, and she turned into a mermaid. And the moment she turned into a mermaid, that indescribable charm also appeared on her body again.
At this moment, Heidi was like a bright ray of sunlight piercing from the sky into the deep sea. Everyone can see her shining, she is so desirable.
It's so beautiful that it's awe-inspiring.
Newt felt distracted for a while, and Rove was a little sluggish, but fortunately, the two of them experienced it once, so they recovered quickly.
Rove looked at Luke as soon as he came to his senses, and he was looking forward to Luke's performance in front of such charisma. After all, his performance at that time seemed so shameful and unbearable......
But......
"That scale in your hand, it's kind of interesting......"
Luke looked at the thing with interest in his eyes. Even more interested in that scale than Heidi over there.
This situation is not only a little surprising for Rove, but also Newt and Dumbledore, and even Heidi herself is a little surprised.
"Can you show me the scales?"
Luke asked with interest.
Heidi looked at Luke, who looked as usual, and asked with some confusion, "Don't you feel it?" ”
So everyone's eyes were focused on Luke. They also wanted to know Luke's answer. Among them, Rove's gaze is particularly intense. He always had a quirky sense of competition for this guy who was younger than himself, but barely a peer. It's a feeling of not being left behind.
Luke looked at Heidi's eyes, which looked like a sea of stars reflecting the starry sky, and said with a smile, "Your eyes are beautiful." ”
Without waiting for Heidi to say a word of thanks, he continued, "But I've seen better eyes." ”
"Your hair is beautiful, but I've seen hair that's messy but reflects a person's hard work."
"You also have a unique temperament, like a lonely whale in the deep sea."
A surging smile appeared on Luke's face, "But I've seen girls who look like fairies dancing in the forest. ”
"If I seem out of shape, then I'm sorry for the girls I've seen, and I'm sorry for the education I've endured."
"Showing your calm and calm side in front of a beautiful lady and not losing your temper is a lesson that I remember very much."
Luke said frankly to the crowd. Of course, the former is naturally not the point. If you really want to talk about looks and charm, then Heidi is really prettier than Taylor, Hermione, and Luna.
After all, although the three girls are outstanding, they are not as beautiful as Heidi's works of art.
However, Luke's demeanor in front of ladies during training was the most important lesson. You can show interest in a lady, but you can't express yourself with a gaffe.
Reserved, it's a matter of scale.
"All in all." Luke leaned back in his chair, "For me, ma'am, your charm is enough to move me, but not enough to make me forget my education. I wouldn't even mind dancing with you if the vibe was right. It's a pity ......"
He knocked on the table and said, "The occasion is not suitable for socializing. ”
"So, show me the scales, and then let's talk about who you are, where you are, and what ...... Is there anything I can do to help. ”
Luke smiled like the April sun.
"After all, helping a lady in distress is also a virtue that a nobleman should have."
Newt's expression was slightly complicated. He knew what Luke meant by 'educated'. There are not many people who can learn that whole set of things thoroughly.
There are few that can be practiced after learning.
Rove was a little puzzled, and he had the same feeling in his heart.
Some of the gaps seem to have been opened a long time ago.
Only Dumbledore didn't feel anything. He just sighed a little.
Luke is always able to surprise people in places that others don't expect.
"Of course, it has to be a beautiful lady in distress."
Heidi was unaffected. It was indeed the first time she had seen the nobles of the human race, but she had seen the nobles of the Deep Sea Empire a lot. She also knows exactly what the rules of these nobles have been twisted into by the unspoken rules.
For example, it seems normal for a beautiful lady in distress to have a beautiful story between a nobleman who helps her, and it can even add further luster to this story.
"No, don't get me wrong, I didn't mean that."
Seeing Heidi's obviously misunderstood expression, he shook his head and said, "I'm serious. ”
Heidi didn't bother to listen anymore.
"I'll just see how you do it. I've seen too many people who talk nicely. ”
As she spoke, she was not idle, and put the colorful scales in her hand in front of Luke.
"If you're interested, take a good look."
Luke didn't care, he finally saw another treasure that interested him, and naturally he held it tightly in his hand.
"This scale...... "Luke put the beautiful scale in his hand and looked at it repeatedly, "is it related to the story of the Little Mermaid in human legends?" ”
Hearing this, Heidi glanced at Luke, and said, "You're smart. I've heard that legend about mankind too. ”
"It's a mermaid's version though."
Luke looked forward to the rest of the story, but Heidi didn't seem to have the idea of telling the story, so he could only say with a little disappointment: "It's just a reasonable guess." The story in it, when you want to tell me, tell me again. ”
Heidi nodded, then said, "Then let's talk about the topic at the beginning." ”
"You say you can find an antidote?"
Luke was not in a hurry now, returned the scales in his hand to Heidi, and said with a smile, "We can talk about this later." Now, I'm a guest, and you're a guest. ”
After saying that, he looked at Newt on the side, stood up and said, "Mr. Scamander, can we have dinner?" Seriously, I've been looking forward to your handmade meal for a long time. Professor Dumbledore told me a lot about the deliciousness of your food before he came. ”
Newt looked at Heidi, who looked a little dissatisfied, but said to Luke anyway, "He's just overrated." Actually, it's not that good, it's just that when I was in the wild all these years, I had to learn to cook something. ”
Rove behind him had already walked towards the kitchen, waved his wand, and trays of food floated in the air and flew towards the table on that side.
Luke looked at Heidi and smiled, "You're hungry too." ”
Heidi didn't deny Luke's words, but pinned the scales back to the hair compartment and held out her hand to Luke.
She stared into Luke's eyes and said seriously, "My name is Heidi, Heidi Atlantis. The princess of the Deep Sea Empire. ”
Luke was stunned for a moment, then held out his hand as well.
"Luke Gaunt, head of the Gaunt family."
And when Luke was about to hold her hand, the vertical hand suddenly turned into a hand with the back of the hand facing up, and it drooped naturally.
Luke paused and took Heidi's hand. Then he gently touched Heidi's hand with the tip of his nose.
After that, he let go of his hand and said with a smile: "I don't like it very much, and I'm not very used to kissing hands." I didn't expect that the etiquette of the Deep Sea Empire and humans have so much in common. ”
"So this etiquette is no longer popular in human communication?"
Heidi's face remained unchanged: "I'm sorry, I remember that there is only one etiquette for humans to express closeness. ”
"I don't think you'll like the etiquette of the Deep Sea Empire."
Luke smiled, "Perhaps." ”
After that, the two of them stopped talking, and everyone sat in their seats.
In a few moments, all the dishes were ready. A table of all kinds of food, the ingredients are unique, not necessarily precious, but absolutely special.
"I've also thought about whether or not I'd like to prepare a few dishes that you're used to." Newt said to Luke, "But I thought about it, since I'm here, I should show you what we are." ”
Newt set his sights on the dishes and said, "Those are the ones we have studied and eaten in the wild for so many years." You know, because we're often in the wild, that means we have to get something to eat if we don't want to eat dry food. ”
"So over the years, we have also found a lot of special ingredients, and we have these dishes."
"I hope you like it."
…………
The wine has passed three rounds, and the food has passed five flavors...... This is an exaggeration. Actually, the food was really good, and Luke and Dumbledore had a lot of fun.
Rove looked at Luke and Heidi, who showed some aristocratic temperament. When they ate just now, the two of them seemed quite reserved, but the speed of eating was not slower than his.
You know, his eating speed was practiced in the wild. In that place, you don't have to hurry up for any meal, otherwise you may encounter some danger, and you may miss some wonderful pictures.
"Tell me, you have a way to get the so-called antidote."
Heidi asked seriously.
Rove and Newt also looked at Luke. They didn't wonder if Luke had such an ability, they wanted to know what Luke could do.
"Actually, it shouldn't be that hard." Luke said calmly, "I'm sure the people of the Skye family should be interested in me. Normally, I would have chosen to buy a copy directly. ”
Luke smiled, "As long as my bid is high enough." I probably won't refuse. ”
The face is there, and even in general, Luke can buy it himself.
In other words, it can be obtained from other families after all.
After all, everyone has been mixed with each other for so many years, and this guard must still be there.
Heidi nodded, agreeing with Luke's statement. This is not a solution, but it works very well.
Luke looked at Newt on the side, took out a photo from his arms, and in Newt's puzzled eyes, he handed the photo to Newt, and then said, "Actually, I also have some selfish intentions with Professor Dumbledore this time." ”
Newt took the photo and saw a small colored snake lying lazily on the table.
The snake is beautiful and doesn't look anything special.
And Luke was able to show him this thing, which shows that this snake is definitely not simple.
"Any questions?"
Newt asked, curiously.
He knew about the Gaunt family. The family has always been a leader in the study of magical beasts. It can even be said to be strong.
Although the results of their research are not publicly available. The means of research are not completely conventional. But there was a lot of interest in their research.
"This should be a basilisk."
Luke said seriously.
"It's not ...... Is it true? ”
Rove subconsciously wanted to refute. But he looked at Luke's serious expression, and those words of doubt could not be said after all.
Luke tried to explain, but before he could speak, Newt spoke.
"It's possible, Luke, Rove ......"
His expression was a little solemn.
