Chapter Twenty-Seven: I'm an Emotionless Hunter
When everyone left, only the Delacour family remained, although it was late at night, but tonight's events were too tortuous and terrifying, and everyone was not sleepy.
Rove welcomed them into the room, and had the house-elves serve them a hot supper, and a few of them sat around the fireplace and talked about the evening.
Gabrielle hugged Fleur's arm and rubbed like a kitten:
"Sister, you actually went to Rove's room to teach him French while I was asleep?
You both secretly tutor every night to make progress, but you don't bring me with you...... How cunning! ”
Fleur sounded weird, her face was slightly red, and she tapped Gabrielle's head with her fingers, and said, "Don't talk nonsense, there's nothing!" ”
"Eh, didn't you just say it in front of everyone?" Gabrielle was a little aggrieved and said, "Will you not admit it?" ”
"I was helping Rove out of the siege, didn't you see that he was being harassed by Skander?"
"So, you're lying?" Gabrielle's eyes widened, and she exhaled, "You told me that children are not allowed to lie, and those who lie will be captured by ghouls...... You lied to yourself. ”
This sentence itself is lying, and besides, he is no longer a child...... Fleur secretly slandered.
But of course, she couldn't say that, but she coughed and said:
"Gabrielle, it's called a white lie, you know? My intentions are good...... You don't want to see Rove taken away as an arsonist, do you? ”
"Is that so?" The little girl's eyes rolled and she said thoughtfully, "Then can I also tell 'white lies' in the future?" ”
"No, you can't!"
"Why?" Gabrielle puffed out her cheeks and said dissatisfiedly: "My intentions are also good. ”
"What's the starting point?" Fleur debunked the thoughts in the girl's little brain and said, "Is it similar to the starting point of 'I lied because I didn't want my parents to be angry'?" ”
“……”
Gabrielle was ruthlessly exposed, snorted angrily, grimaced, and turned to Madame de la Cull to complain:
"Mom, look at my sister...... She's lying, confiscate her pocket money for the month, give it to me. ”
Everyone could not help laughing at Gabrielle's request, and Madame Delacour took her little daughter in her arms and touched her head lovingly.
"Gabrielle, lies are sometimes justified." Rove looked at the girl and reassured:
"When your sister lied to me, that lie saved me and saved many innocent lives."
The flush on Fleur's cheeks had not yet faded, and it was even thicker at this time, she was a little embarrassed, was she really as great as Rove said? How she didn't know.
Rove sat in his chair and recounted everything he had seen and heard at the circus tonight, including the captured mermaid Messira.
"The Mystic Circus is a magic cave where countless deformed species and magical creatures are imprisoned, and after rescuing the Messira, I was about to let them go, but I was discovered by Skander.
I ended up burning his tent. ”
What Rove said was lightly written, but after everyone listened to it, the agitation and complicated emotions could not be calmed down for a long time.
Who would have thought that it was really this teenager, riding a fiery dragon, to set fire to the mysterious circus of Skande?
But considering that he was riding a horse-shaped water monster to fight Cabro Dragon earlier, it doesn't seem so difficult to accept.
"Did you raise that dragon?" Fleur asked curiously.
"Actually, it's a dragon egg from a Hogwarts keykeeper." Rove explains:
"After he hatched, he couldn't be raised at school, so I had to reluctantly make it difficult for him...... Helped him raise it. ”
The corners of Fleur's eyes twitched, is a key keeper at Hogwarts so hidden?
It's no wonder that Hogwarts is ranked higher in education than Beauxbatons...... People's teaching philosophy is advanced!
"Rov, where is your fire dragon?" Gabrielle asked.
"Keep it in my box." Rove blinked, and he said playfully:
"My box just looks small, but it's actually a little bit bigger on the inside than on the outside."
“……”
Everyone was a little speechless, and it was probably not a big problem to be able to raise a fire dragon.
"Stretch Without a Trace." Mrs. Delacour, who was drinking tea, smiled at her daughters and said:
"I went into Newt's box, which was bigger than the forest where Meiwa lived, and I was still young, but I still remember it vividly...... What a wonderful trip. ”
Bigger than a forest?
Now not only the Fleur sisters, but even Mr. Delacour is a little unimaginable.
Where is the box in that, it's clearly a midsummer!
"Mom, did you see the fire dragon back then?" Gabrielle asked.
"It's not just a dragon." Madame de la Cuer propped her chin in one hand and looked at the box beside the young man, a look of nostalgia on her face that had not diminished in the slightest.
"There are also the Thunderbirds of the Americas, the Poisonhorns of Africa, and the Sugo of Asia...... I was only seven years old at the time, and my biggest wish was to have a box like that. ”
"Rove, can I go into the box and have a look?" Gabrielle asked expectantly.
"Absolutely." Rove smiled and said, "But it's big inside, it takes a long time to visit, and it's too late today...... Tomorrow.
Besides, I have unfinished business tonight. ”
"What's the matter?"
"The guy who grabbed Mycella and sold her to Skander...... She knew that Skander had been caught, and that he would definitely run away tonight. The corners of Rove's mouth curled up, and he said softly:
"I'm waiting for her."
……
……
Firewood in the fireplace, blazing.
Helen sat by the fireplace, poured a glass of whiskey, and felt that the alcohol was as rancid as her mood.
"What an idiot Scander is!" The witch looked at the flames and cursed gloomily.
They only finished the mermaid deal tonight, and Skander was caught shortly after, and the guy betrayed her in order to reduce the crime.
Helen has no doubt about this, after all, there is no friendship between them, only transactions, and if it were her, as long as she could save her life, she could abandon anyone.
Helen stared at the fire reflected on the rim of the glass, and she whispered, "You must run away tonight." ”
Even if you are floating on the sea, you are more frightened than in your own room, and your fate is in your own hands!
The witch waved her wand, and the clothes and jewels scattered around the room flew into a small handbag under the influence of magic.
After packing, Helen wrapped herself in a black robe made of rat's skin, and she stood behind the door, listening quietly through the magic lock.
After making sure that no one was there, she removed the magic lock she had installed, carefully opened the door, and walked down the dark hallway towards the deck.
"Are you leaving?" A voice suddenly rang out from the corner. "Lady Helen, you haven't reached the end of this journey yet, and you're just leaving, aren't you?"
Helen was startled, she turned around and raised her wand with a spell, but the light hit the wall with a crackling sound.
Helen didn't have time to look closely, she strode forward, but the voice came to her ears again, like a ghost.
"I didn't hit, madam, your skills are a little rough, I can't even arouse too much interest, it seems that you have to go back to practice."
"Who are you? What do you want to do?! Helen exasperated.
"I'm an emotionless hunter, and I'm completing a hunt." A figure from the lake appeared at the end of the hallway, and the man smiled:
"Hunting, of course, requires the blood of the prey...... to wrap it up. ”
