Chapter 37: Margaery: Rov, I'll get you checked tonight
When Horst returned to his office, he found the doorway full of Aurors, all looking inside.
He couldn't help frowning, "What's wrong?" ”
"Director, that fat guy named Flint has suddenly attacked Rom." A dark-skinned wizard explained:
"This ...... Young gentleman, he subdued Flint and saved Rom. ”
Horst looked up and saw that Rove was treating the wounds of the bitten Rom, and Margaery was standing nearby, helping him carry the black suitcase.
Not far away, Flint was bound by vines, his mouth covered in blood, his face twisted, and his whole body twitching violently.
The symptoms are the same as those of the red-haired man, who has been poisoned by Muggles' so-called zombies.
"Uncle, Flint was bitten and has toxins in his blood." Rove looked up and admonished, "You should keep him under control." ”
", toxins are not contagious through bites." A pale, thin young wizard said, his voice somewhere between sneering and grunting.
"If a child doesn't understand, don't talk nonsense."
Rove raised his eyebrows, and out of the corner of his eye, seeing that his sister Margaery wanted to open his mouth to fight back, the boy patted her arm, and then he stood up, keeping a calm and polite tone, and asked:
"Who are you?"
"Alyssa Thorne!"
"Very well, Mr. Thorne, you know that very well?" Rove smiled and said, "Can you please tell me...... What kind of poison is this? ”
The young wizard was speechless for a moment, he paused, and snorted coldly, "I don't know...... But I know you're talking gibberish! ”
"How so?"
"We have rescued quite a few bitten wizards, and they are all normal, without any signs of poisoning and attacking others!" Thorne shrieked:
"It can be seen that Flint was not poisoned because he was bitten, but must have been poisoned by other wizards."
"I thought you had a high idea...... That's it? ”
Rove's smiling expression showed his disdain for Thorne's remarks.
"Talking about toxicity aside from the dose is playing hooliganism, you have met a bitten wizard before, and the poisoning dose is too small, so there are no obvious symptoms.
But that doesn't mean they're not poisoned. ”
"It's like if you were bitten by a bamboo leaf and didn't die, you can say that it was a slightly venomous snake?" Rove scoffed:
"The toxicity is based on the reference half of the lethal dose LD50, and Zhuyeqing is a highly venomous snake, but the amount of detoxification is very low, only a dozen milligrams each time, so most people will not die after being bitten."
"You don't understand such a simple truth? How is the Conservation of Magical Beasts class conducted? Rove sighed:
"Can you be an Auror at your level?"
"It's an apprentice Auror." Margaery mended the knife at the right time and said, "Whether it can be turned positive is a matter of two words." ”
"Oh, so I'm relieved." Rove sneered bitterly:
"I advise you to come to Hogwarts as soon as possible to make up for the Magical Beasts Conservation class, otherwise it will be difficult to turn a regular role."
Thorne's face flushed with rage, and he shouted, "Who knows if you're?" ”
"I'm sorry, but the conclusion that this toxin can be transmitted through a bite is not what I said, it was my grandfather." Rove shrugged.
"Who is your grandfather?!"
Margaery laughed and shuddered, and she put her arm around Rove's shoulders and said, "His grandfather is ...... Newt Scamander. ”
Thorne: "......"
Everyone suddenly realized that it was no wonder that this young man was so confident, and it turned out to be the famous Scamander.
Now there is a reason to believe it!
"My grandfather really wasn't too famous." Rove blinked and said:
"But Mr. Thorne, since you don't think you will be poisoned after being bitten, we might as well bet ...... Let the patient bite you a few times, and I will give you a thousand Galleons for each bite.
You can't die anyway, isn't it a good deal? ”
Thorne's face turned blue, he really didn't dare to agree to this bet.
"Alright." Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, Horst interrupted the quarrel, walked over, and asked:
"Rove, so you know what kind of poison this is?"
The Auror Office has been investigating the matter lately, but has no clue and can't find the source of the poison.
"This poison comes from the blue-eyed toad, a magical creature unique to Colombia." Rove opened his mouth to explain:
"On the skin of this toad, it secretes a toxin that causes people to hallucinate and feel pleasure, and local indigenous shamans have a tradition of licking this toxin to cause themselves to hallucinate."
Rove and Newt had seen the magical creature on a trip to Colombia together, but Newt didn't record it in Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.
The reason for this is simple, the toad is only found in a small area, and if it is recorded, he is afraid that other wizards will hunt it...... and even large-scale breeding and abuse.
Like now!
"If you just lick the skin of the toad, this intake is not much, and it will not attack other people." Rove continued:
"It should have been a person who extracted this toxin and injected it into the wizard's body."
"This kind of high-dose injection will make the wizard go crazy, and he will attack the people around him, and the body's various endurance will also be greatly improved, such as the ability to endure pain, even if the arm is cut off, it will not hurt."
"It can only be done by the purges." Horst said solemnly, "Can you provide any other clues?" ”
Rove thought for a moment and said, "This toad lives near the crater and feeds on magma, so I suggest going to the nearest volcano survey to New York." ”
Horst rubbed his eyebrows, and he said loudly, "Didn't you hear? Act now. ”
Everyone was gone, and Horst patted Rove on the shoulder and said:
"I didn't expect you to solve a big problem for me as soon as you came."
Rove modestly said, "Even if I'm not there, you're sure you'll find out the problem quickly." ”
"But more people may die." Horst advised, "Rove, go home for dinner tonight, don't run around with Margaery, you know?" ”
"yes, I know." Rove hurriedly nodded.
Horst smiled with satisfaction, he liked Rov's honest kid, who looked reliable and wouldn't do anything out of the ordinary.
"As for you." Horst looked at Margaery again, who had just smiled brightly, and then immediately straightened his face and said:
"What are you wearing here? Hurry up and replace it for me, and this handcuff...... What are you trying to do with Rove? As a sister, you must be like a sister, and do not bring him bad. ”
When Horst was gone, Margaery exclaimed, "Whose father is he?" How do I feel like he's better for you? ”
Rove smiled but didn't say a word.
Margaery tapped her fingers on the young man's forehead and whispered, "Make you laugh!" ”
"Margaery, why is that Thorne targeting me?" Rove covered his head and said, "It can't have anything to do with you, right?" ”
"He's been chasing me, and I've rejected him, so I'm jealous of you." Margaery sneered.
"That's right...... Did he stalk? Rove asked, "Do you want me to break his legs for you?" Give him a warning? ”
"Little Rov has grown up and can protect his sister!" Margaery put her arm around Rove's shoulders and grinned:
"Tonight, I'll check your physical development, how about it? Let's see if you're really that good. ”
“……”
"Let's go, let's go home." Margaery threw the car keys to the boy and said, "You'll drive in a moment." ”
"Huh?" Rove took the key and said, "I don't have a driver's license, huh?" ”
"It's fine." Margaery yawned and said, "Neither did I." ”
“……”
