"Still no news of the princess?"

In the shadow of the coral reef, a mermaid with an unclear face is hiding in it, listening to a clownfish with her head down.

"There is no news for the time being, according to the people of the Skye family, the two of them found the princess, but were killed by the princess. After that, the princess disappeared again. ”

The man deliberately lowered his voice, but he could still hear that it was a male voice.

The voice that came out of the clownfish's mouth was so indifferent: "Humans, all a bunch of waste. I shouldn't expect anything from them. ”

"My lord, we are really not good at moving on the shore. The Bubble Scales are only in the hands of the princess. If our men go ashore to chase them, they can only continue to send targets to the princess. ”

When the clownfish heard this, it was silent for a moment, and then it said, "That's it, but ...... Can't count on the Skye family anymore. Contact some professionals in the human world. ”

"Tell them I can accept a dead merfolk. But the carcass of this mermaid must remain intact! ”

Someone in the shadows nodded, "I understand, my lord, I'll contact the other party as soon as possible." ”

"I'll leave it to you."

With that, something on the clownfish felt like it was being pulled away.

It shook its head blankly, then panicked and hid among the anemones, never to show up again.

Someone in the shadows was silent for a long time, and sighed deeply.

"That's what it is...... Destiny. ”

The banquet hall of the Infamorny Academy of Magic

Miranda walked alone in the banquet hall, waving her wand little by little, delicately changing each flag, each set of tables and chairs. Let them change color and change into the green that symbolizes Gaunt. In addition to the four magical beasts that are symbolic of Yinfamorny, a normal snake is also added. That's also the representative of the Gaunt family.

She had become so delicate that she refused to let go of even the details of the snake's scales.

"You're punishing yourself, little girl."

Mo Lian looked at Miranda, who looked lost, and said helplessly.

"That's not your fault. In every sense, even if it's just you, there's a good chance that the little guy from the Gaunt family won't come with you. Because he doesn't trust us. ”

"It's the same with Dumbledore. I don't know what they've been through, but apparently their trust in us strangers is kept to a minimum. ”

Miranda heard Morian's words, but she just shook her head: "It's their business, and I, if I don't complete the task, I don't complete the task." ”

Hearing this, Morian shook his head again. No matter what she says, this little girl has already blamed her own incompetence for this failure.

In fact, it is understandable, after all, Miranda is actually a little cautious in this matter. Although the attitude was sincere, it also made Dumbledore and Luke entangled to a certain extent.

Failing in such a situation, she blamed the reason for the failure on her own clever tricks.

There may have been some such influences, but that doesn't mean it's her who is really to blame.

"Are you going to meet that little guy here?"

Mo Lian looked at the banquet hall with a small scale, and said suspiciously: "It's summer vacation now, even if we teachers are included, we won't need such a large banquet hall." ”

When Miranda heard this, she pondered for a moment, then shook her head: "I don't know either, but that's what Principal Eggerbert said. ”

The corners of Morian's mouth couldn't help twitching.

In terms of the principal's secretary, Miranda is quite successful in a sense. She was the real reason for taking Gilbert's commands as if God was doing it.

This is something unimaginable for the average person.

At this time, Miranda, in the eyes of Morian, has become a little girl with a secret on her body.

He was now curious as to how Gilbert had taken this little girl...... Domesticated like this?

Of course, this can't just be asked, it's one thing to not be able to ask anything, and maybe it will anger Miranda.

"Well, I guess you won't get any results. I'm going to ask Gilbert. ”

With that, the short and sturdy old man left the banquet hall.

"Goodbye, Professor Morion."

Miranda politely said goodbye, and then began to make adjustments to the details of what was around her again.

She's really serious.

………………

Sefir Skye looked at the report in front of him, his good-looking eyebrows almost twisted together.

"Are you kidding?"

There was a hint of anger in Sefir's voice.

"One man who was poisoned also killed two of us 'stalkers'. This kind of person is not something we should have touched in the first place. ”

The expression of his subordinate was quite solemn, and he said calmly: "But, family master, this is a condition proposed by the other party, and we have no room to refuse." ”

"The people of the Deep Sea Empire are also our stable partners. Now ......"

Seiffel Skye raised his hand and made a 'shut up' gesture.

"Even if this is the request of the group of people in the Deep Sea Empire, we have to take a good look at whether we can get involved in such a thing......

Sefir Skye said with a solemn face: "We don't know much about the Deep Sea Empire, this time there must be something happening that we don't know. ”

"Let's find out what is going on first, and then weigh the pros and cons."

The subordinate nodded: "Yes, I'll go down and arrange it." ”

And just as he was about to walk out of the room, he heard Skye's cold voice behind him.

"Next time, next time, let me take care of the work that you should have taken care of......"

"There won't be a next time, Lord Skye."

The subordinate earnestly reassured.

Skye didn't respond, just waved his hand silently.

After his men left, Skye frowned, looking at the report, at the two bones that had been gnawed into white bones. One was fairly intact, while the other was cracked open in the middle.

Obviously, the strength of the other side is very strong.

"At most, it's only half the magic, is it still that strong? This little girl must have a high status in the Deep Sea Empire, so ......"

Skye smiled coldly: "The previous price is not enough. ”

"Gotta add money."

……………………

"Grandpa, is it really possible that this is a basilisk?" Rove's face was rather surprised.

"But even if it's a newborn basilisk, it's not only that size."

Basilisks themselves are giant snakes, and thanks to the magic of Starlight, they are able to absorb the magic quickly even from birth. Not to mention how big it can grow immediately, at least it is the adult size of a normal snake.

"That's what I thought, too. So while her abilities overlap a lot, I'm still not sure if she's a basilisk or not. ”

"Her snake eyes don't kill directly, but they can control themselves. She is more poisonous than the recorded basilisk. ”

Luke said seriously, "I don't know if this is a pro or a bad, or ......"

"It's more advanced, Luke."

Newt said seriously to Luke: "Being able to control means being more advanced. After all, snake eyes are the most typical feature of basilisks, and they are also their most important weapons. ”

Luke nodded, he didn't deny Newt's words, or rather, there was no way to deny his words.

"But if you want to say that this thing is a basilisk in the real sense, I think it's debatable."

Newt's face was a little odd.

And these words also made the people around him a little confused.

"Then this should be ......," Luke asked.

Newt frowned, nodded, and said, "You know that the basilisk is actually a man-made magical animal. ”

"Despicable Helbo, he is the one who created the basilisk." Of course, Luke knew about such things, and even knew about them.

In the Gaunt family, the despicable Helpo is very respected. Putting aside the evil deeds he had done, this man was a genius of the dark arts in the truest sense of the word.

Basilisks, horcruxes, charms, and many, many more, the pinnacle of these black magic productions are basically the work of this person, and this thing itself is outrageous.

Many of the ancestors of the Gaunt family had a uniform evaluation of Helmao.

"Amazing".

This is definitely a lot of praise.

"Yes, but you know, Muggle lore has a magical creature that resembles the ability of a basilisk."

Newt said with a slightly serious expression.

"Medusa? Gorgon? Luke's brow furrowed, "This isn't some magical animal, it's the legendary mortal god son." ”

"Yes, but that's just a legend. However, according to my previous investigation, the origin of the Gorgons should most likely not be a basilisk. ”

Newt was a little surprised that Luke knew so much about Muggle mythology. You know, these myths, in the wizarding world, basically have alternative interpretations.

And while he was surprised at what Luke had seen, Luke was also surprised at what he said.

This is a study that overturns previous assertions and common sense. Newt, are you sure? ”

Speaking of this, Dumbledore couldn't help but interject.

This is not a simple source. Rather, it is a result of research that overturns existing beliefs and may even cause an uproar.

"I can't be sure for the time being, so I haven't posted an article."

Newt admits that he is still in the research phase. Seriously, if it weren't for the two people in front of him, one of whom was his old friend, and the other probably didn't have the ability or disdain to compete with him for research directions, he wouldn't have told others this kind of thing casually.

"That's a ...... Amazing. Luke put away the surprise on his face and said, "Do you want to say, Doris, that it's the Gorgon?" ”

If it's true, then Luke can only say that the system is awesome.

It turns out that this snake can really become human!

"It's possible, after all, it's such a similar ability to the basilisk......" Newt hesitated for a moment, shook his head, and looked at Luke seriously, "I'm not sure." After all, it is also possible that it is just simple mutation and mutation. ”

He returned the picture to Luke: "If you can ...... it If she had brought her here, I might have been able to draw a conclusion. But a simple photo won't do. ”

That's Luke, if this is a different person, then the photo of the snake will come up and say what kind of newly discovered magical beast this is, what kind of special thing is there. Newt wouldn't believe a word.

After all, something like this happens almost every day. And there is no shortage of such oolongs in the field of magical beast research. Whether it's deliberately faked or inadvertently mistaking a subspecies or mutant breed for a new magical animal, it's something that happens from time to time.

Whether it is the science of man, or the science of wizards, it is carried out in exploration, trial and error, and correction, and this is normal.

But for the stern Newt, such a thing never happened.

He didn't want it to happen in the future.

But this is what Luke said, so he thinks that there may be something in it that is worth thinking about.

"If I have the chance, I'll bring Doris here. But not now, she's ...... now I guess I'm having a good time in the Forbidden Forest. ”

Luke also said with some uncertainty.

Dumbledore's brow jumped as he listened.

"Can you throw anything dangerous into the Forbidden Forest? Students are not allowed to move around there though. But it's still the school area, and Hagrid still has to patrol there......"

Hearing this, Luke blinked and said, "But...... Hagrid is the one who puts the most dangerous magical beasts in the Forbidden Forest! ”

Dumbledore really wanted to refute it, but he couldn't.

Just because Luke told the truth, he can't say he's slandering Hagrid.

This is not the logic of a normal person.

"Anyway, it's better not to put everything in the Forbidden Forest."

Dumbledore said with a headache.

Luke smiled and said, "Don't worry, Professor, I gave my cat to Taylor to take with me." ”

Seeing that the two of them were not in shape again, Newt was also amazed, he really rarely saw Dumbledore get along so well, so well that he looked like a friend.

Rove, on the other hand, looked at Luke with a puzzled expression.

After all, this boy can talk happily with his grandfather, talk speculatively with Heidi, and have such a good relationship with Professor Dumbledore.

How can a man do such a thing?

Rove looked at Luke and felt a faint sense of the unevenness of the world.

……………………

In the alley in the distance, a woman in a leather coat was looking at the house from a distance, as if waiting for something.

She looked up and glanced at the moon. There was a surging sadness in his eyes.

Night...... It's getting deeper.
