Chapter 89: A New World
In the Lake District National Park in England in early spring, the early morning mist fills the lake, and the cold humidity can drill into the bones. One of them, called Lake Ennadale, is covered with dense forests, and the fog is so thick that the view is blurred a meter away.
At this moment, a meadow between the trees and the lake suddenly appeared to reflect the dark water surface. The light source was a drop of blood as bright as a star, and the next moment it appeared, a large amount of transparent material seemed to surge out, and the surrounding water vapor was dispersed, and the surrounding light source was empty.
As if pressing the fast-forward button, after the light flashes, a mass of embryonic tissue that appears in the transparent material package grows from a fine scale to a size visible to the naked eye, and soon develops placental tissue. During breathing, a human fetal hatchling appears inside the placenta, and with each blink of an eye, the hatchling becomes a little larger. After a while, the baby grew to the size of a baby, and as a pair of crumpled feet fell on the grass, the drop of blood suddenly sank into the baby's eyebrows.
The next second, the baby opened his eyes, glanced at the environment here, and then began to check Zhou's body up and down. At that moment, the laughter of children was heard in the woods, and the baby fell down on the grass along with the placenta attached to the umbilical cord.
"Eh, come and see!"
A little girl, in the midst of a fight with other children, gradually approaches this meadow. Attentive, she quickly noticed that there was no trace of fog nearby, and upon closer inspection, she found the baby lying on the grass. The other children heard her cry and gathered together, following the little girl's gaze, and saw the scene as well.
"Take him to the teacher. ”
Half of the children ran away at once, and the remaining half was led by a big boy to the grass. The boy picked up the baby and, surrounded by a crowd of children, reflexively walked into the woods. After a while, they bumped head-on into the teacher, who had been called by the child who had run away earlier, and the two groups of children reunited, and the teacher took the baby from the boy's hand.
"It's so ugly, it's wrinkled all over its body, and it's thin. ”
"My mom said that it's like this when children are born. ”
"What about his mother?"
"I don't know. ”
On the way back, the children talked excitedly, and the teacher sighed imperceptibly, but finally did not popularize the term abandoned babies to them.
The group walked through the woods to the clearing outside. The fog cleared and sunlight shone on the colourful children's tents, many of whom were led by several teachers to emerge from the tents and begin to lay out the picnic carpets.
The carpet covered in cartoon patterns and the toys placed on it evoke the smiles of the children. They had been around the teacher, but now most of them were running over, and some of them were running towards the other teachers.
Eventually, several adults got together, and they looked at the baby in front of them and were silent for a while.
"Shall I send it to the hospital for registration first?"
"Who's going?"
This is a hot potato, and several people look at each other, and no one wants to get into trouble for themselves.
"How's old George?" one of them suggested.
"He's already adopted one in his family, you see, little Evans over there. ”
They looked into the distance, where there was an elderly couple, the male dressed as a school bus driver, and the female being supported by a young girl. The old couple and his family were also arranging the picnic carpet, and next to a pale little boy had just picked up a toy airplane and chased each other with a few other children who ran over, and gradually ran away.
"From what I know about Mr. and Mrs. George, they will definitely try to adopt this child when they know it, and we can't afford to burden them any more. The person who spoke earlier explained.
"But the child needs a family, and we can't just let him be transferred to an orphanage, which is too irresponsible. ”
"What's wrong with that?"
"Has there been less negative coverage of orphanages in recent years?"
"Yes, and as you can see, Evans was adopted from an orphanage by Mr. and Mrs. George, and his personality has changed from withdrawn to cheerful in recent years. I believe in the character of Mr. and Mrs. George. ”
"It's all about ability, they're getting older. And old George volunteered to be a school bus driver, and the old couple only lived on pensions, how could that little money be enough to support a family of five?"
Christine is about to graduate from college, and instead of working and moving out of her boarding grandparents' house, she can use the money from the rent to take care of the child. I'm sure Mr. and Mrs. George would be happy to see that happen, and allow Christine to continue living in their home. One of them looked at the young girl who was taking care of the old woman, then at the little pale boy, and said, "Moreover, Evans is not too young to take care of himself." It is enough for the old couple to concentrate on taking care of this one child. ”
"It's just wishful thinking on our part, ask Christine first. ”
"As far as I know, she has a good relationship with little Evans, and she likes children. ”
"Let's go ask first. ”
After some discussion, they turned and walked towards the old George family who had come out camping with the school. In the woods behind them, two men stood in a corner, keeping an eye on the teachers' every move. Seeing that they had brought the baby in their hands to the old George's family, the two turned around and went into the depths of the woods, and after a while walked to the grass where the baby had landed.
"Just detected spatial fluctuations here, but no mana reaction. The magic in that baby was very strong. The man in the plaid sweater frowned.
"The bloodline of the offspring is very unusual, which just proves that the child's relatives are a powerful existence, and they can control their own power very strongly, and it is natural that they do not show their magic power. Another man in a gray trench coat analyzed.
"However, if there is no trace of the spell casting, no relatives of the child can be found. The source is broken, what should I do now?Do you need to bring the child back to the Ministry of Magic?" the plaid sweater looked at the gray trench coat, seeking the other party's advice.
"You haven't been in office for long, and you've only known two or three colleagues at most, right?" the trench coat pushed the hat on his head and looked up at the other party.
"What do you mean?" said the sweater, in an open-minded tone.
"The girl they were talking about, Christine, is an Auror. The trench coat simply stated a fact.
"Now I understand, now that the gang has found her with the child, we will take advantage of the situation and let her take over the case?"
"I mean, let her take care of the child. The trench coat lowered the brim of his hat and corrected.
"How can you be so casual? Children who possess powerful magical powers too early can easily become silent if they are not guided by a special person. As soon as the other party's voice fell, the sweater's expression changed abruptly, and the speed of speech unconsciously sped up.
"I know this better than you do. Glancing at the sweater, Trench Coat revealed something, "She's gifted, so she has a years-long mission for her, which is to help children who might become silent to channel their own magical powers." ”
"You mean...... And the child she guided?" Sweater was halfway through, unable to speak, and he scratched his head in embarrassment, trying to change the subject.
"It's Evans, as those teachers just said, what a poor child. Trench coat said, the pale little boy and the terrible news report of the year came to mind, he shook his head, no longer dwelling on it, "Go back and deal with the formalities, by the way, send a letter to Christine, ask for her own opinion, if there is no problem, this child will be guided by her in the future." ”
Seeing that the sweater nodded, the windbreaker put one hand on the other party's shoulder, and took out a magic wand from his arms with the other, drawing an inexplicable trajectory at the same time, he said "phantom shifting".
In the next instant, the two disappeared in place.
