Chapter 64: A Way Home
In addition to the phoenix meat, Meiwa came up one after another with a bowl of snake monster soup, fried manticore, casserole pot eagle-headed lion, garlic soft-clawed land shrimp, steamed manatee......
In the outside world, these magical creatures have either been extinct for many years, or they are endangered species, not to mention taking a bite or catching them, they all have to go to Azkaban High School for lifelong training.
But in Avalon, it's just a dish.
It can only be said that this meal was indeed very "criminal".
However, this also explains why these magical creatures are going extinct.
The taste is so good.
Just the fact that it is delicious is that for the terrifying Homo erectus, there is already a way to die!
After lunch, the three of them got up to take their leave, but Queen Glos looked at Rove and said with a smile:
"Scamander, I have something I'd like to talk to you about alone, just for a few minutes, okay?"
Rove looked at Shirley beside him, and seeing that she didn't object, he nodded, "Yes." ”
After the two walked away, Nelishi gently poked Shirley with her elbow and said in a low voice:
"You don't have to worry about the two of them being alone like this?"
"Worried about what?" Shirley wondered.
"Of course, I'm worried that Rove will be seduced away by Queen Glos." Nelishi whispered:
"Didn't you hear that old witch say that she wants Rove to marry her, and she looks like she is bound to win, phew...... What a shame! ”
Shirley looked at the angry Nellie and smiled, "Don't worry. ”
"You're so confident?" Nelishi tilted her head to look at the ponytail girl, and kindly reminded:
"Although Queen Glos is not as beautiful as you, she has been married so many times, she must have some powerful seductive tricks!
If she falls to the ground with a dead face, will Rove really be able to resist the temptation? ”
Shirley turned her head and stared at the young man's back, and she suddenly smiled like a flower and said:
"I believe Rove!"
In the distance, Rove and Queen Glos walked side by side, and soon reached the edge of the garden.
Standing here, looking into the distance, the whole city is in sight:
The Tower of Babel towers over the city, casting a black silhouette over the city, with a labyrinth of city streets, castles and palaces, residences and shops, and grandstands that resemble the Colosseum.
Beyond the walls, there are dry brown hills, a rushing river that flows to the east, widening and eventually emptying into the sea.
The mermaid statue stands at the mouth of the river, and the torch at the top of it sets off the sky, dazzling.
"What a beautiful view." Queen Glos shook the red bracelet on her wrist slightly, and she sighed:
"Your Majesty, can you really bear to be destroyed by the dragon scourge and watch the wizards here be slaughtered by the dragon scourge?"
Hearing this moral kidnapping, Rove rolled his eyes and said nonsense:
"Forbearance...... To tell you the truth, I was a student at Hogwarts in Slytherin. ”
"Our Slytherin house, the creed is despicable and shameless, there is no bottom line, and our house has the most dark wizards, far less noble than the students of Hufflepuff House next door."
"So, your moral kidnapping is useless to me."
"Besides, I'm willing to kill the dragon, after all, I'm also targeted by him." Rove shrugged and said:
"You just have to give me the dragon bone sword, but you won't.
So, it's you...... Unwilling to save the city and the wizard, not me! ”
"If you are willing to save them, why not save me one more weak woman?" Queen Glos was weak and timid, looking at Rove pitifully.
"And you want to say, let me be the king of Avalon, and then marry you?" Rove sneered, "What if I refuse? ”
"Refuse...... I won't do anything to you either. Queen Glos smiled and said, "But I'll keep you here until you agree." ”
Rove raised his eyebrows and looked directly at Queen Glos, who looked at him and smiled charmingly:
"You're thinking about it, don't rush to refuse."
"As long as you promise, not only can you get me, but those creatures you just ate can taste every day."
"And that olive tree, there's only one in the whole of Avalon." Queen Glos pointed to the big tree in the middle of the garden and said:
"When you become the King of Avalon, you can take the olive fruit, and then learn the knowledge of the ancient wizards in the Tower of Babel, making you the most powerful wizard of all......"
Rov stared at Queen Glos, and after a long time, he suddenly smiled and said:
"I have to say, what you said did make my heart move, but I'm worried that you're just painting a big pie and deceiving me, and when I really become the king of Avalon, I won't be able to fulfill my promises."
"I'm not going to break my word." Queen Glos assured.
"There is no basis for words." Rove smiled and said, "In my hometown, when you get married, the woman has to pay the bride price to the man first...... Ahh ”
"So, you have to give me what I want before I can marry you!"
"What do you want?"
Rove muttered, "Ten phoenix eggs that can hatch, ten unicorns, twenty Wyverns, fifteen five-legged monsters......"
As if announcing the name of the dish, the boy said dozens of magical creatures in one breath, and he finally added:
"Oh, yes...... And the North Sea Monster, I'd like to see it too...... If you give me enough, I will marry you. ”
“……”
……
……
After Rove and Queen Glos opened their mouths, they returned to the Tower of Babel with Shirley and Nellis, and entered the chest again.
Nellisse couldn't wait to return to her room, ready for a night's sleep, and to try the wine to see if it was a real dream.
While Rove and Shirley held hands and walked along the lakeside path.
After using magic to block out his voice, the boy told the ponytail girl all about his conversation with Queen Glos.
When Shirley hears that there is a curse on Glos that needs to be unraveled, she laughs dumbly and laughs, "Another Helena? ”
"yes." Rove sighed: "It's all Cassandra's fault, what kind of divination do you have to do for people?" ”
"But I think that you are friends, and she shouldn't deliberately harm you." Shirley said thoughtfully, "So, she must have a deep meaning in doing these things." ”
"And ...... The fact that Queen Glos had met Cassandra Trelawney also proved that she was more than one or two hundred years old. ”
"That's right." Rove nodded, "I think so too."
I even suspect that the great-great-grandmother Gloss spoke of who had seen Ravenclaw might be herself! ”
"If Glos really lived for at least a thousand years, his strength would definitely be extraordinary." The ponytail girl said with a serious expression:
"She wants to keep us here, can we really get away?"
"I guess I can't run away." Rove stretched and said, "So, I've agreed to marry her." ”
"You promised to marry Gloth?!"
Shirley stared into the boy's eyes, like a clear spring, from which she could almost see her anxious face.
The girl suddenly saw the corners of Rove's mouth curl up and showed a smile, and she reacted and said, "Are you lying to her?" ”
"Of course!" Rove nodded the tip of her nose and smiled:
"This is just a rhetoric to stabilize Glos and delay a little time, I have actually thought of a way out of the predicament, but keep it secret for the time being."
"And ...... I've also thought about how to leave Avalon. Rove stretched out his hand, gently wrapped his arms around Shirley's slender waist, and sighed:
"Someone has already left us a clue, and I didn't even think about it before."
Shirley rested her head on Rove's shoulder, and after a moment of contemplation, her eyes widened, "You mean ......"
The two said in unison:
"Grindelwald!"
