Winter, winter, winter!

In the empty hallway, there was a rhythmic knock on the door.

An oak door, nailed to a heavy chain, ends with an ornate oil lamp hanging from it, and purple flames shrouded in a leaded red glass shade.

As there was a knock on the door, a dark shadow appeared on the glass cover, and it opened its mouth in an old voice.

"Who's visiting late at night?"

"Mystery Circus...... Scander visits Lady Helen! ”

The hood of the invisibility cloak was lifted, revealing the face of a middle-aged man, and Skander's head was floating in the air, looking very weird.

The chain fell, and the heavy wooden door opened with a "yes", and Skander walked in, and the door closed again.

It was a large room, unlit, but the fireplace in the symmetrical position at the ends was blazing, filling the room with a gloomy red glow.

An ugly, flat-nosed fat witch stood by the fireplace, wearing a brown cloak with waist-over-the-waist braids, looking heavy, with a number of small gold bells tied to it.

"Lady Helen, long time no see!" Skander sat down in a chair and smiled, "You're still so cautious?" ”

"In what we do, there is no harm in being cautious." The Fat Witch walked around, the bell rattling with her steps.

Arrested for human trafficking...... In many countries, the death penalty is imposed!

Helen not only abducts wizards, but also smuggles all kinds of precious magical creatures.

"So, I can't wait to pick up the goods tonight." Skander rubbed his hands and said eagerly: "I see that your letter says that the goods this time are of high quality. ”

"yes, yes, dare I say, it's one of the humanoids I've captured over the years...... One of the most beautiful. Helen blinked her dark eyes and exclaimed:

"Many girls can't compare to her beauty, trust me, you'll be satisfied."

"Hurry up and show it to me." Skander urged.

He had dealt with Helen for many years and had bought many magical creatures from her, and the only flaw of this woman was greed, but her vision was blameless.

The Fat Witch walked towards the bed, and she bent down and dragged a large black box from under the bed.

Lady Helen pulled back her bodice and took a warm bronze key from between her fat breasts, which she inserted into the keyhole, twisted it gently, and lifted the lid.

Skander immediately leaned over and looked down, and the box had expanded with the Traceless Stretching Charm, reaching a full four meters deep.

There was a lot of water in the chest, and there was also a two-tailed mermaid in the water, with curly and fluffy blonde hair and snow-white skin.

The young mermaid heard the sound of the lid being opened, looked up, and saw that there was an extra witch beside the witch who had captured her, and the girl burrowed into the water with a frightened face.

"It's so beautiful...... Skander looked at that beautiful face in admiration, and he wondered, "How did you catch her?" ”

"It's a trade secret." Helen closed the box and said softly, "Don't frighten my little darling. ”

Helen paced the room again, and she smiled, "Any other questions?" ”

Skander thought for a moment and said, "It's not a dark injury, is it?" ”

"Hurt?!" As if insulted, Helen screamed, "Such a perfect work of art, do you think I will destroy her?"

Ever since I caught her, I've been serving her with the best food, and I've never even touched it! ”

"What about the price?"

"Ten thousand Galleons!"

"Do you think it's possible?" Skander said contemptuously, "Why don't you go and rob Gringotts?" ”

"How could it be?" Helen sat down on the sofa with a smile and said, "With this appearance, those pure-blood families will be willing to pay a lot of money for her." ”

"You're my old customer, I'm the first to think about you, but if you can't afford it, I'll contact other customers."

"Lady Helen, as far as I know......" Skander said unhurriedly, "the Mayflower has begun to check the baggage of the first class, and you keep it in your hands, do you think you can take it out so easily?" ”

Helen's face was a little cloudy.

Not only checked the luggage, but even the anti-illusion shifting spell was opened...... brought it up, but couldn't take it down, and it was indeed because she was in a hurry to get rid of it.

Skander cocked Erlang's legs and said very simply: "Seven thousand Galleons, I bought it!" Sincere enough, right? ”

With the appearance of that mermaid, you can make a sensation if you perform anywhere in the world...... In a year or two, he can earn back the ticket price, and he will not suffer a loss even if he sells it.

"Deal." Helen nodded and took the key out.

Skander also took out Garon, and he suddenly asked, "By the way, I heard that there was a head Cabloon attacking the Mayflower?" ”

"yes, it probably has something to do with this mermaid." Helen thought for a moment and guessed, "I caught her and got on the ship from England, and Cabloon came to attack that night." ”

That night, she almost wanted to let the merfolk go, but luckily a teenager stepped forward and saved the whole boat.

Helen took the purse made of the deformed lizard skin, and while counting Garon, she said with a strange face:

"Do you know who fought off Cabloon?"

"Who?"

"A teenager." Helen grinned and said, "I've seen it, it's very handsome, I dreamed of him that night...... That's when I got the idea of collecting. ”

Helen even had a bold idea to breed the boy with the mermaid, and the offspring would definitely be even more amazing.

"Then why don't you do it?" Skander smiled and said, "Are you scared? ”

"I'm scared, I can repel the Cabloon." The corners of Helen's mouth curled, "You must be very interested in his surname." ”

"What?"

"Scamander!"

Skander's breathing suddenly became rapid, and he smiled sharply:

"Newt Scamander is on this ship too?"

"Not really." Helen shook her head and said, "Only his grandson is on the boat...... Don't be afraid. ”

"Scared?" Skander suddenly relaxed, but his mouth said, "You think I'm going to be afraid of Newt Scamander?" Since his grandson is here, I'm going to ask that kid for some interest first. ”

Helen succeeded in arching the fire, and said with a smile on her face:

"Good luck then."

……

……

Back in his room, Skander placed the box on the floor.

In the room, the bed was erected in the corner, but a large black tent was propped up.

"Mr. Skander, have you gotten the goods back?" Pete the Muggle immediately greeted him.

"Yes, it cost me seven thousand Galleons, Helen that ......slut," Skander scolded, "Kill her sooner or later." ”

"So expensive?" Pete was taken aback.

"It's a rare stunner, indeed." Skander smiled with satisfaction:

"Send the box and the key into the tent, I'll go take a shower first, and then I'll come out and train the mermaid...... Let her be on stage tomorrow night. ”

"Yes."

Skander went to the bathroom to shower, while Pete grabbed the box and keys and headed deeper into the tent.

Pete walked slower and slower, and he suddenly stopped, eager to see how beautiful the mermaid was that he had bought with seven thousand Galleons.

Pete's heart was tickling, he knew that it would take a while for Skander to take a bath, so he boldly took the key, inserted it in the box, opened it, and looked inside.

Pete was stunned when he saw the mermaid, he looked at the girl obsessively, and in a trembling voice, shouted into the box:

"What's your name?"

"Her name is Messirah."

A cold voice suddenly sounded behind Pete, and the dwarf was about to turn around, but a hand grabbed him by the neck and slowly lifted him up.

Pete struggled to breathe and wanted to scream for help, but the hand was like a pincer, clutching his throat, leaving him with an indiscernible scream.

Rove looked at Pete, a smile on his lips, but his eyes grew cold, and he grabbed the dwarf by the neck and slammed it into a glass jar.
